steps of a disreputably dilapidated
house and climbed three flights of
stairs to the top story. where he fitted
a key to the door of the back room
and entered, carefully closing and lock-
ing the door behind him. A moment
later the gaslight Jared from the
match he had struck and showed the
desolate wall paper, t~hreadbare carpet,
thin, hummocky bed. rickety table,
chairs and washstand. The whole air
Of the place was repellent, wS.se than
poverty stricken.
Only two things in the room tended
in any wise to contradict the general
impression of squalor. On the wabbly
table stood a typewriter; to n wall a
telephone was attached. II was the
typewriter that first engaged Andrews
attention. The machine was small.
very serviceable. but of a cheaper sort,
In which the printing was done from
a type wheel having three bands of
characters. This wheel vas readily
detachable, and now the operators first
care was to remove 1t from Its shaft
and 10 bestow 1t In a pocket of his
coat. From n ~pasteboard box beneath
the table he procured another type
wheel, one that had never been used,
and adjusted this to Its place on the
machine. Then he inserted a sheet of
an ordinary cheap typewriter paper
and proceeded to write In the foretin-
ger manner Of the novice a letter. And
he wrote with entire frankness, IN
afraid lest the missive betray him-his
precautions were too carefully taken.
The greatest expert In machines
would be unable to trace the peculiari-
ties of a type used only on this single
occasion, which would thereafter, with
Its fellow already in his pocket, be cast
into the waters of the North river. So
Andrew wrote freely, venting in words
the hate hat fared hot in his heart
barring his lust for revenge with brutal
virulenee. for he wrote to Cortland
Wainwright. district attorney.
When he had finished writing An
drew went to the telephone and called
a number. The connection was made
quickly.
"You recognize the voice7" he ask
eO Softly anu Nehy uioSihNbSs
then, you know the place. Come at
once. There Is work to be done. Yes
for the Master Mind"
While he waited the coming of the
one thus summoned Andrew o from
his pocket a tiny mirror and a pencil
and put a few lines to mis- face. which
completely altered his expression
With the visor of the cap drawn low
over his brows he felt that his dis
guise was sufficient for the occasion
He smiled a little grimly as he thought
Of what would be the visitors amaze

messenger for the Master Mind here
In the squalid room was In very truth

And what the Master Mind plans he ac-

the weeks Immediately following
the conviction of Henry Allen the
brother OF the condemned set him
\ self with fanatic zeal to prepara-

this purpose the Master Mind put In

wainwright's family, of his boyhood,
of his life In school, In college. and aft
erward In the world of affairs. where,
though still a young man. he had won
distinction from the respectful liking
of his fellows.
But the Master Mind found no solace
In sitting the mass Of material thus
placed at his command concerning the
foe. From all the evidence the truth
appeared incontestable that Cortland
Wainwright had lived a clean life: that
there was no stigma OF scandal hidden
within his experience to be ~fearfully
guarded from the public eye. Finally
