evolved the scheme Of selecting . man

But first Gentry had to be gotten
out of the way. You took It upon

him there to be disposed of later.
Armed with the letter Of identin.

Gentry.
But somewhere along the line you
crooks always fall down. With all
your cunning you have no more fore
sight than little children. Instead of
carrying out the grim masquerade and
having the money handed to him. your
tool committed the incredible blunder
Of looting Mr.. Kendal's safe.
What was the result? Why, Just
what might have been expected. Mrs.
Fleuroy. knowing all that money was
in the house, and that she was in a
way responsible for 1t, was lying
awake. waiting for burglars. OF course

His handsome. refined face was
