little farther uptown. He did not
stay there very long, but from a cabinet
took a queer little arrangement, some
what like a coil of coated wire.
In an adjoining room two men were
reading papers. They were two of the
operatives he kept for shadowing and
other purposes.
"McCorkIe." he beckoned to one. then
in a whisper added, 1--WE a case down
at the Americana Empire vaults. ! wish
you'd just scout around there, get &C
quainted with the place, any of the en-
ployes. II you can. But keep in touch
with the office here. I may need you at
any moment, and don't let any one sec
that you even know me. IL we should
run across each other
Half an hour later, Garrick was back
again at the vaults and Van Loan had
directed his secretary to accompany him
on a second visit to the custody vault,
which had been left open but under guard
for him.
As they passed down together again
among the various safeguards, Garrick
remarked, And yet all this did not
apparently protect"
NO" observed the secretary, an alert
and active young man of good educa-
ton, mo, in spite Of all the elaborate
precautions, the wonderful mechanism,
the inquisition Of clients and our costly
system of Identification. the system has
fallen down somewhere"
He was talking to divert the secretary's
attention from what he was doing for
in the meantime he had taken down the
wall telephone in the custody vault, and
in an inconspicuous corner had quickly
attached the peculiar little arrangement
he had brought from the office in such
q way that 1t was exposed, but not no
ticeable.~
Us there a little office upstairs that I
may use?" Garrick asked OF the secre-
taryA without saying anything about the
purpose for which he wanted II.
A few minutes later, the arrangements
were made and Garrick was ensconced
in an Office of his own, with q desk. tele-
phone and a key to the door. so that he
could come and go as he pleased. For
an hour or two he was hard at work
making connections by wires with the
telephone leading out through the wall
from the custody vault. That finished.
It was a comparatively simple arrange
ment that he placed on the top Of his
desk. It consisted OF nothing apparently
but an ordinary electric alarm bell.
The Washington herald., 1915-02-14

Garrick thought a minute. Il can't
say. just yet, but If l can depend on you
to keep in touch with Fordyce and Ken
ton, it may mean a great deal"
Very well. then. You can usually find
me at my club until after dinner. To-
night I shall be at the theater. I'll leave
the number of the seat at the club office.
AS for the others, I'll instruct them TO
take similar means to keep in touch
with me. You can depend on it,
Hour after hour OF the evening sped
by, and still Garrick was waiting.

provised office. Over and over in his mind
he turned the meager facts which he had
collected so far. And as he waited. he
grew more determined to see the thing
through.
On one occasion when he had McCor-
kIe on the wire, his heart gave a leap
and he could scarcely restrain an ex-
clamation OF satisfaction.
"a car has Just driven up to the curb
around the corner from the entrance to
the building" announced the operative.
did any one enter the building?" ask
ed Garrick quickly.
No"
Then watch II. Don't let it get out
of your sight, McCorkle. 1t may be i'm
portant."
Garrick had made up his mind to let no
chance go INFESTED. There was a posi-
bility here. II the cab was standing
there to convey some one away. with the
driver ready to slip into his seat at a
moments notice. throw in the clutch.
and whirl away, he knew he could de-
pend on McCorkle to take charge of that
end of the affair.
Suddenly the little bell on his desk gave
a faint tinkle. then louder. He strained
his ears. Yes, there was no mistake
about 1t this time. 1t had settled down
into a continuous buzz.
Quickly he called Van Loan at the club
He was not in. but had left instructions
how to reach him at the theater and how
to reach both Mr.. Fordyce and Mr.. Ken
ton. The entire telephone service OF the
club was to be put in service instantly
at his expense.
Garrick rang on and got his office.

There was nothing to do but wait now.

ing. DO it, Fordyce," he ordered finally.
As Garrick left the two officers. he
walked out through the antechamber of
the vault; then, instead of leaving the
building, he began to reconnoiter, keep
ing in mind the location of the vaults.
He was passing by the barber shop IN
the basement when his eye caught the
trim figure o. the little manicure, Miss
Gaylord She recognized him, and he de-
cided to enter. At least time spent In

quickly. "You-you don't intend to stay

"Of course not" answered Garrick.

"Oh, of course But will you have the

Van Loan thought a moment. That's

finally, looking at Fordyce who said moth

to get acquainted with such of the en-

necessary in case he needed to get in
at night. Outside he had stationed Nc

with him.
Still, nothing happened during the day,

after selling at 11.sl, January contracts
eased off to 11.s3 during the early trad

estimate placing the yield at 100000
