touching the register. he wrenched the
telephone from the grasp of the dead
man, replacing IL In its normal posi-
ton. Only for a second did he pause
to look at his victim az he destroyed
the evidence of his work.
Minutes we're precious First Dodge's
pockets, then his desk engaged his at
tention. There was left the safe.
AS he approached the strong box,
the master criminal took two Walls
from his pocket Removing bust Of
Webster that stood ON the safe, he
poured the contents of the Walls in two
mixed masses of powder, forming a
heap on the safe, into which he insert
ed two magnesium wires.
He lighted them. sprang back, hid
ing his eyes from the light, and a
binding gush of flame, lasting per
haps ten seconds, poured out from the
top Of the safe.
It was not an explosion. but just a
dazzling, intense flame that sizzled and
cracked. 1t seemed impossible, but
the glowing mass was literally sink
ing, sinking down into the cold steel.
At last 1t burned through-as II the
safe had been of finder!
Without waiting moment longer
than necessary, the masked criminal
advanced again and actually put his
hands down through the top OF the
safe, pulling out bunch OF papers,
Quickly he thrust them all, with just
glance, into his pocket.
Still working quickly, he took the
bust of the great orator, which he had
removed, and placed 1t under the light.
Next, from his pocket he drew two
curious stencils, as it were, which he
had apparently carefully prepared,
With his hands, still carefully gloved,
he rubbed the stencils on his hair as
