he swung the girl about SO as to face
ner equally irate father.
Well. wen get him." thundered
the grim-willed old millionaire, "or
he'll never walk out OF this house
alive,"
Even as he spoke the renewed sound
of shouts came to them from above.
II was Wilson the butler who called
to Golden and the group at his heels
as he went fioundering up the stairs.
He's gone into Manley's room, sirl"
cried that vastly disturbed old sery-
ant And he locked the door as he
went,''

hurried on 10 his secretary's door.

this door his trained eye had detected
certain betraying tremors and agita-

It took him but a moment to push
the high boy" to one side. Then,
flinging open the door, he had the
satisfaction of beholding the recum-
bent figure of David Manley. bound
and gagged on the closet floor.
Helping hands soon released the un-
happy prisoner.
Il tried to stop him." he said. a lit
tie thickly. And this is what l got
for it,"
But Lieutenant Kibby was no longer
interested in Manley.
