"0n the contrary" said Forbes,
Il believe she brought me-"
The girls arm wound about
Crawford's neck, tightly.

Crawford suddenly, as he marked
the expression of establishment on
his friends face.
The answer came from behind.

Haggerty, pushing the valet be-
fore him; but duty's duty. an
time don't wait"
For Haggerty, familiar as he
was with battle, murder and sud-
den death. had never witnessed a
scene like this one, and 1t had
outlasted his patience.
And who the dickens are
your" demanded Crawford,
swinging about and facing the de-
tective.
The girl stepped back, her
fingers trembling with the collar
of her cloak. Immediately she
dropped her hands, smiled and
laid one hand on Crawfords arm
confidentially. What did all
the other people in the world mat
ter?
II am Haggerty, of tn Central
Office" Haggerty knew when to
buster and when not to.
What are you doing here In
my house?"
Forbes was beset by all his pre-
vious doubts. A detective, and
why should he be here? He
thought of thousand ways of
overcoming Haggerty, of holding
him till era wford was safely
aboard the Celtic; and then re-
membered the surest and dead

spoke the valet, drawing down
his cuffs.

Crawford.
