"Well, some one wants to get you to

farther away than New York. The

game will be to let them believe

crooks always breeds carelessness"
THAT is my opinion" said Zudora.

lapidary, going TO his machine.
1t took long time for his friends to
come down, thought Baird. Finally he
determined to risk meeting them.
He entered the building and tiptoed
up the stairs. The burr of machinery
caught his ear and he knew that he
need not go any farther.
He tried the doorknob, but only half
heartedly. Such a door would never
be unlocked.
Then he heard voices. All were there
yet If he could but find a rope!
He peeked into the dumb waiter and
found an unused coil Of manila hemp
on the top OF it. Just what he wanted.
Next he hunted around for the scut.
tie ladder and crept up on to the roof
He tied the rope to chimney and gen
tly lowered himself down to the lupi.
dary's window.
Nothing doing there. Blinds were
closed. He could see four men. but
could not distinguish any features.
And what he wanted most Of all was
one good look mt the man who pared
fortunes from diamonds. as 1t were.
He wanted this knowledge keenly.
All. he was turning! The light was
striking In his face. Baird drew him
self up quickly, regained the hall and
stole down the street

He set out for Hunts office. know

Sure enough. Hunt was ut work
Storm had gone home. and Baird was
rather glad to have missed him.
Not that he dislked the young law

good luck.

Was 1t not due to her that he had
chosen the straight and narrow way

Gown ana smoKed MS pipe IN the atu-
tude of waiting for some one.
At 8 three men arrived at the door
Of the tenement. They stood idly in
the doorway for minute, then ducked
inside.
But Jim Baird. who had been fol
lowing them steadily for an hour or
more. was quite confident that some
where in yonder tenement was the
wonderful crook diamond cutter he
had so often heard about during his
masquerade as Hassam Ali
What n chance there had been for
real honest money in that old inventor
Of diamonds whose shop had been
back of the cheese makers! But he
had to go and die.
Baird did not thrill pleasurably at
the sight of the gun man called Gyp
He had already in his capacity as re
porter run up against that murderous
scoundrel, and Gyp had sworn he'd
'get him"
He loitered about, wishing to give
the rogues plenty of time. What he
wanted was good look at the dia-
mond cutters shop.
| He had no interest in the three
| crooks who had shown him the way
here. Two of them had beaten him
up not more than fortnight gone, so
he was perfectly willing to keep out
of their way.
The crooks climbed the three flights
of rickety, creaking stairs until they
came to the lapidary's door.
The gun man used the knocker.
With his machine humming the cutter
could not hear the sound of ordinary
knuckles.
Gyp raped three times and then
showed aside the knocker. revealing a
small hole
He passed through a slip of paper
