Although Felix Hazard and Helen

was plunged into depths of despon-

The immediate effect of that indi-

thrilling Before anyone could lift a

at Rawlings and the two went to the
floor in fighting, snarling heap. They
thrashed about so furiously that 1t was
impossible, until some seconds had
elapsed, for any of the several po-

It was not merely that the girl who
asked him to go with her happened to

Hazard and Miss Bertel returned to
the room where they had left the un-
known. For upwards of an hour the
detective tried to assist the young
man to penetrate the veil that hung
over his past, but all to no purpose.
Enlarging upon the story he had told
Miss Bertel, he repeated numerous
times all the names that must have
been familiar to anyone having con-
nocton with the firms under consid-
Grafton, or any association with the
huge enterprise that was of such mo-
ment to his supposed confreres. The
unknown sat shaking his head and re-
peatng: 1T is all strange to me" or
Il never heard that name before"
Hazard gave up in despair. Where
upon Miss Bertel, who had remained
silent but interested spectator, was
at once inspired. She rose and laid
a sheet of paper on a desk and handed
a pencil to the young man. Outside,
there was almost constant roar from
passing elevated trains. She pointed
to the structure and motloned to the
desk
Draw that" she communicating
Il span right in front of you"
Without demur the young man seat
ed himself at the desk and bent over
the paper; but at once he reached out
hand and groped for something he
could not find.
Next instant he started to his feet.
The pencil dropped from his fingers,
and like a man suddenly reused from
sleep he stood blinking at Hazard and
the girl

stammered, not without my-my-"

Helen and Hazard exchanged
glances and smiled detecting which
Frisbie pleaded:

Some time later, when Felix Hazard,
Carl Frisbie and Helen Bertel gath
cred in the trst-named's Office, the
young engineer was incredulous when
told that he had lost whole twenty
four hours out of his life, but after a
while he believed, and could not find
words to express his gratitude. AS
a matter of fact, his demeanor toward
Helen was so ardent that Hazard ex-
perienced a peculiar feeling of resent
ment against him; his interest in the
affair promptly grew lukewarm.
And when, finally, the connection be-
tween Denver Ed" and the Hercules
company's competitor was established,
and Rawlings ans an official OF the
competing company were convicted of
criminal conspiracy, the detective re-
ceived the news with an exclamation
of impatience.
