ing close by her now. Again,
thank YOU" he repeated.
Lifting her hand quickly, he pressed
it. then dropped it. Once this would
have offended her; now it seemed ou'
the impulsive action of a kindly man
older than herself-such a thing as he
might have done to child ten years
of age. So she did not show any vex-
alton, but began at once to type the
letters
Ten minutes later Mr.. Hale came
into his private office. She rose and
took up her pad and pencil. but he
checked her.
Wait" he ordered. rs that one OF
Mr.. Bainbridges letters you have there
on the machine?"
Yes. it is" she replied.
Well. so ahead and get them all
done. them
This is the last one" she informed
him.
Was he annoyed at her having done
this work for his partner? His next
remark disa abused' her mind of this
idea.

had asked you to take some dictation
for him. and that you had done It sat
isfactorily. That was quite right.
A Changed Opinion
His speech confirmed her in her al
tered opinion of the younger member
OF the firm. Evidently Mr.. Bainbridge
had spoken frankly of his request TO
her. There had been nothing under
handed about his manner of conduct
ing the trif1ing affair.
AS she was drawing the last sheet
of paper from the machine, she spoke
in a tone that indicated no nervous
ness or embarrassment.
Mr.. Hale" she said, Mr.. Philip
Hale called up while you were out.
"Ah?" he queried. glancing quickly
at her. What did he WANT"
She delivered Philips message with
out changing color.
Very we'll" her employer acknowl-
edged his comprehension OF the stu
alton. Thanks. Now take these let-
ters over to Mr.. Bainbridge; then
come back and get to work"
Miss Durkee glanced up. supercil-
iously as Agnes approached.
Mr. Bainbridge is busy. Miss Nor :
ley" she said when the girl paused.
What is it you WANT"
These are some letters have done
for him." Agnes replied. Il will take
them in to him"
Give them TO me! I will see that
he gets them" Miss Durkee snapped.
Why need. she be so disagreeable >"
Agnes wondered. Did she resent the
fact that another girl had made her
work easier by doing a half dozen let
tiers for her employer?
Surely. girls in offices were a queer
lot.

Bracken again! Each drawing of
the net caught him tighter in the
meshes of the strange crime. The
murderer of John Melton, who had
lived for thirty years under the name
of Sladnas Revlis because his sister
had taken the name of Silver Sandals,
had played for a big stake. The old
man himself had made possible the
necessary months of preparation for
his own murder. Cotton knew that
the murderers had been forced to pre-
pare the various details as carefully
as the old man himself. The plans
of the man who was to die had work.
ed out too smoothly, too we'll, for
them to have been merely his plans.
There had been more than cooperation
there had been leading!
Bracken had won the confidence
of the strange old man. He had won
the heart and the hand of the girl.
To him had been left the perfecting
of the plans. According to the girl,
he had been with her father until the
time came for him to go on duty in
the diningroom of the hotel. And he
had disappeared at the first oppor-
tunity. Ostensib1y he had gone to
Poughkeepsie to get the cryptogram
