intently. He now nodded thoughtfully,
adding: :. y

be, you are not Denver Ed Rawlings.

them over. All bore Cancelled stamps

dress the card bore only one written

It was not merely that the girl who
asked him to 60 with her happened to
be Helen Bertel that Felix Hazard
readily consented to do SO, but, more
over, because he had confidence in
her sharpness and common sense, and
felt that he was not sidetracking bust
ness of moment in needing anything
brought by her to his notice. In a few

In less than a minute, however, the
young fellow recovered consciousness
and looked about in a dazed, beWil-

Hazard, who were bending over him,
he seemed not to recognize at all. 1g-
noring them, he rose unsteadily to his

isn't the place, either; I must have
been knocked silly. We were on a
river dock where lot of small boats
were moored. Three huskies jumped
me at once. Last thing knew they
were tumbling me into one of the
boats.''
"You are from Prince & Penthouse?"
Hazard pressed him.
The young man returned ques-
tioning look, but answered:
Eyes. Frisbie is my name-Carl
Frisbie. At the last moment Mr..
Prince was taken ill, and I had to
come in his stead. Are you Mr.

"No, but I'm representing him. I'll
explain everything by and by. Do you
remember this Lady,"
Frisbie glanced at Helen and col.
ored with embarrassment.

Helen and Hazard exchanged
glances and smiled detecting which

Some time later, when Felix Hazard,
Carl Frisbie and Helen Bertel gath
cred in the first-named's Office, the
young engineer was incredulous when
told that he had lost whole twenty
four hours out of his life. but after
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 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 and an official of the
competing company were convicted of
criminal conspiracy, the detective re-
ceived the news with an exclamation
of Impotence.
Miss Bertel, who told him about it,
gave him sly look.
Perhaps" she demurely added, you
think they should have gotten longer
stretches; but for one feel sorry for
poor Ed Rawlings. He looked so
handsome-in Mr. Frisbie's clothes"

Although Felix Hazard and Helen
Bertel were both jubilant over the sue
cess of her strategem, the unknown
was plunged into depths of despon-
dency even more profound than be-

most blinded by the vividness of it

then-puff!- land the curtain dropped
again, the rift in the veil closed"
"Cheer up" Hazard encouraged
him. "You are coming on famously.

we'll drop in on my friend Cowles over

An hour later Lieutenant Cowles

The immediate effect of that indi-
vidual's appearance was startling and
thrilling. Before anyone could lift a
hand to interfere the unknown leaped
at Rawlings and the two went to the
floor in a fighting, snarling heap. They
thrashed about so furiously that it was
impossible, until some seconds had
elapsed, for any of the several po-
licemen present to secure a handhold
upon either of the combatants.
When presently they were dragged
apart Rawlings was colorless and
gasping for breath, while the other
lay inert, a thin trickle of blood from
