perhaps. But we must be ready. And

you that"
When they arrived at the Atlas
Building barrow was surprised 20 find
Simmons already in charge of the
Office

said he
Il am" replied Simmons CURLY
But Judging by what you said this
morning, | considered I'd better be on
the job myself"
Good boy" approved barrow. II
see I've made no mistake in you
Just stick it out twelve hours more
and we'll have it settled Anything

Simmons thrust a message across
| the table.
Darrow took it quite calmly At
| this moment Hallowell entered.
What time did this Gomez" asked
barrow, nodding to the reporter.
"At twelve thirty"
Darrow nodded twice with great sat
isfaction.
Then quite deliberately he unfolded
the paper and perused its contents
Without change of expression he
handed it to Hallowell The latter
read aloud

you-one who has betrayed you one and
all, but whom you cherish to your bos-

GU may believe am patient. but
must be obeyed"
mo, what do you think of that"
cried Hallowell: He doesn't even
mention the name OF his friend to the
dear people who are to hunt him
| down! Fine dope!"
Darrow's face expressed a sleepy
satisfaction. He stretched his arms
and yawned.
you might supply the deficiency"
he suggested. Well" he remarked
to Jack, that settles it. Everything's
running like a catboat in a fair wind.
He's in communication with US: he is
gaining confidence in his inflated
imaginary Importance; we are to have
continuance of his peculiar activi-
ties; and we can put our hands on him
at moments notice"
What" shouted Hallowell and Jack
| Warford, leaping to their feet.
Where is he?" demanded the re-
porter.
How do you know" cried Jack.
Simmons, his head-piece laid aside,
looked up at him in silent curiosity.
1T is sufficient for now that I do
know" smiled barrow AS for how |
know, that last wireless proved it to
me-"
All three men immediately bent over
the message for a detailed perusal
After a minutes scrutiny. Hallowell
looked up in disappointment.
Too many for me-" he confessed.

night; and 1t doesn't matter IL there Is.
Tell your other man to jot down any
thing from that sending. II any comes.
Now" he turned to Hallowell, Il want
to see your managing editor"
