CHAPTER XIV.
A Woman Laughs.

When Crewe dropped as the lights
out he caught himself with the tips
of his fingers against the floor in the
position of a Splinter at the start of
a race, and, with that feline grace
of which he had already given evil
dence during the night, he sprang
to the end of the bar and behind it
toward the narrow doorway which
he knew that Christy would have
opened for him. And he passed
through, closing the opening after
him, so that the click of it was
drowned in the noise that Shaugh-
messy was making.
The door thus used was that sec
ton of the back bar which held the
cash-register, with glaSs-doored
cupboard beneath it that was filled
with case-goods, and shelves above
it likewise stored. 1t w; no Won
der that Holderness had been unable
to find it, nor that the district in
spector and the roundsman with him,
and Shaughnessy were likewise
foiled.
The roundsman was sent outside
to rap for assistance, the lights were
turned on again, for Crewe did not
snap off the main switch at another
point this time, and the three stories

CHAPTER XII.
Throwing a Scare Into Crewe.

Faber's jointed jinlmv. pouched
like a trout-rod in a short leather
case to fit in the pocket handily, fell
upon the back of Shaughnessy's
head when he made that grab at
Crewe in the darkness. The blow
fell almost noiselessly. and Crewe
sustained the man a5 he slipped to-
ward the floor, and laid him silently
upon it.
Crewe remembered the automatic
that he had moved beyond the
woman's reach, and he hurried
down the four flights of stairs in the
wake of Faber, who fled upon the
instant that he delivered the blow.
They did not see each other again
until they me, at the taxicab. Faber
was inside of it when Crewe found
it. They drove around the block
twice after that, but Rat did not ap-
pear.
Faber left the cab Mt Sixth Ave
nue. and Fourteenth Street.
"Thel~'s & thousand to your credit
at my place when you want IT,"
Crewe told him. He got down at the
arch later and walked across Wash
ington Square, after assuring Cross
that the nights work had netted
five hundred for him.
Crewe arrived at his own place at
one o'clock. But the instant he

4 Down.

1t had not occurred to Shaughnes-
sy as a possibility that Crewe could
approach from behind him. He had
seen to it that there was no trap
behind the bar, and he had locked the
front door. The only means that he
believed Crewe could make use of to
enter there he had kept covered. Had
he intended to shoot when Crewe
appeared?
He did not know himself.
He sat very still when Crewe
spoke to him, until four quarter-sec-
onds had licked away Then he
turned.
"Move to the next table, Shaugn,
and leave your gun where 1t is, was
the next order. Shaughnessy obeyed
it. what are you back here for,
and why did you send the other three
here ahead of you 2"
"1 didn't send them; and you
know we'll enough why I'm here"
ooh, | do? I'm not a mind-read-
err"
"who'd you take with you to my
house tonight ?"
"To your house ?"
"Well, it's all the same as mine.
and | guess you know it. I'm pretty
much at home there. You had a
hood over your mug when grabbed
you, but | knew the feel of you all
right. Who was behind me in the
dark that cracked me on the nut y
Dear mew said Crewe, as he
calmly walked around the end of the
bar to the table where Shaughnessy
had left the automatic, picked it up,
removed the magazine, and stripped
the cartridges from the weapon.
Then he laid the empty gun at the
officers elbow and seated himself at
the opposite side of the table.
81 want to know what you've done
with those brass weights, Crewe,
Shaughnessy said. "You brought
them here with you, you dropped
them through the grating into the
cellar when you discovered that
Holdy and the others were here.
Then you switched off the lights and
got them again somehow ! suppose
there's a secret trap that / haven't
got onto behind that bar, but that
cuts no ice if there is If it has come
to a showdown between you and me,

of the old brick structure were ran
sacked.
There were men asleep in all Of
the upper rooms but two, which were
supposedly Crewe's and his bartend-
er's. They were old-timers with rec
ords, but were not under the ban at
the moment, and were let alone.
Christy reappeared, blandly uncon-
cerned, by the time the search was
finished, and the officers watched
him without molestatiOn when he
walked behind the bar and began to
count the days receipts in the cash
register, whistling softly while he
worked.
The district inspector had nothing
to do with the detective bureau The
inspection district, which included
several precincts, bounded his imme-
date world He was also an up
right and capable officer, known TO
be on the level. Crewe knew that,
and so did Christy; that was why he
came back, whistling and uncon-
cerned. 1t was also why the in
spector let him alone until he had
finished with the cash-register.
"How did you and Crewe get out
of here, Christy?" he asked then.
as there a secret trap or door be-
hind that barr"
Secret nothin'," was the half
contemptuous retort, and Christy
jerked his head toward that door at
the rear of the room. whats the
matter with that one? 1t was good
enough for US, inspector. While the
lieutenant was mixin' it with the ia
BILE, we beat it,"
where is Crewe ?"
Search me. We took a walk as
far as the square. Then he sent me
back. | guess he wanted little more
air. He said he'd show up tomor-,
row. He told me to tell you that hel
was sorry he had an important en-
gagement and had to hurry"
"Did you ever hear anything like
the gall of that crook" in
spector Shaughnessy demanded
holly "Christy, I've notion to
pinch you for this"
pinch away, if you want to, lieu
tenant / guess I'd be discharged in
the morning There amt nothin'
against me, and was never arrested
yet This is my place, if it is known
as Crewe's-but that's only its
name; and | pay for an all-night IL
cense. | guess my record is pretty
good, amt it, inspector ?"
you're all right on the surface.
Christy Whatever's going on under
meath will crop out in time. You're
not in good company and you're liza
BILE to trip. You tell Crewe for me
that he'd better drop around and see
me at the station-house during the
day, tomorrow, if he knows what's
good for him
The Inspector turned to Shaugh-
messy.
Lieutenant, you can tell me the
rest of that story of what was hap
pening here outside-and Christy,
you'd better close for the rest of the
night. Shaughnessy, where's your
hat?"
He forgot it when he dressed this
morning" said Christy, and tossed Il
golf-cap upon the bar. Here's lid
Shaughnessy, if you want it." Then
he went soberly about his business
Of closing for the night, for he knew
they would keep an eye upon him
from the street.
