In his Office next morning Inspector
Burke was, fuming over the failure
Of his conspiracy. He had hoped
through this plot to vindicate his au-
thority. so sadly flaunted by Carson
and Mary Turner. Instead OF this
much to be desired result from his
scheming the outcome had been moth
Ing less than disastrous.
Some one had murdered Griggs, the
stool pigeon. The murder could not go
unpublished. The slayer's identity must
be determined. To the discovery Of
this identity. the inspector was at the
present moment devoting himself by
adroit questioning Of Dacey and Chi
cago Red. who had been arrested in
one Of their accustomed haunts.
'COme across now!" he admonished.
His voice rolled forth like that of q
bull Of Bashan. He was on his feet,
facing the two thieves. His head was
thrust forward menacingly, and his
eyes were savage.
Il don't know nothin'y' Chicago
Reds voice was between q snarl and
a whine. "Ain't I, been telling you that
for over an hour?"~
Burke gave Dacey. who CHANGED to
be the nearer Of the two, a shove that
sent the fellow staggering halfway
across the room under its impetus.
"nacey. how long have you been
out?'
"A week."
Want to 80 back for another
stretch?"
God, nor
who shot Griggs?''
The reply was a chorus from the
two:
II don't know-honest, | don'tv'
In his eagerness Chicago Red moved
toward his questioner.
Honest to Gawd. I don't know moth
in about it,
The INSPECTORS fist shot out toward
Chicago Ged's jaw. The thief went
to his knees under the blow
"Now, get up-and talk" Burke's
voice came with unrepentant noisiness
against the stricken man.
Cringingly Chicago Red obeyed as
far as the getting to his feet was con-
cerned. While he got slowly to his
feet he took care to keep at a respect
full distance from the official
Cassidy entered. the inspectors office
to announce the arrival Of the district
attorney.
''Send i'm in" Burke directed. He
made gesture toward the doorman
and added. Take 'em back!'
II came as soon as got your mes
sage" the district attorney said as he
seated himself in a chair by the desk.
"And I've sent word to Mr.. Glider.
Now. then, Burke. let's have this thing
qu1ckly?'
The inspectors explanation was con-
else:
Joe Carson. Chicago Red and Dacey,
along with Griggs. broke into Edward
elders house last night. knew the
trick was going to be pulled off. and so
planted Cassidy and couple of 9TH
er men just outside the room where
the haul was to be made. Then | went
away, and after something like half an
hour l came back to make the arrests
myself. When l broke into the room
l found young Glider alone with that
Turner woman he married, and they
were just talking together.
II found Griggs lying on the floor
dead! The Turner woman says young
Glider shot Griggs because he broke
into the house. Amt that the limit?''
What does the boy say?"
Nothing. We've got Chicago Red
and Dacey, and Wen have Carson be-
fore the days over. And, oh. yes!
They've picked up young girl at the
Turner woman's place. And we've got
one real clew-for oncer' He opened
q drawer of the desk and took out Gar
sons pistol. to which the silencer was
still attached.
You never saw gun like that be-
fore, eh?'' he exclaimed. Demarest ad-
mitted the fact.
"1'll bet you never did! That thing
on the end is Maxim silencer. There
are thousands of them In use on rifles,
but they've never been able to use
them on revolvers before That thing
Is absolutely noiseless. I've tried it.
Well, ayou see. it'll be an easy thing
easiest thing in the world!-to trace
that silencer attachment. Cassidy's
working on that end Of the thing now!'
