answered. My men were just outside

''Griggs is dead. Burke. You're up
against it. You can't prove that Car
son or Chicago Red or Dacey ever en-
tered that house"
"Well. then. I'll charge young Glider
with murder and call the Turner wo-
man as Witness"
You can't question her on the wit

to make Il wife testify against her hus-

getting the murderer Of Griggs is by

when ut last Dan appeared and stood
aside to permit her passing into the
office. the Inspector gasped at the un-
expenditures of the vision. The next
instant the Inspector forgot his sur

ration.
The girl was rather short. but Of Il
slender elegance of form that was raw

There came a change. wrought in
the twinklinS Of an eye. The tiny
trinity shod foot of the girl rose and
fell in a wrathful stamp
What do you mean by this out

You just wait. | tell you. until my

II Shant tell YOU" came the petn
