nigan's chauffeur. This man, seeming
ly respectable and actually faithful
enough to Bruce. had dark spot in
his life. Black managed to learn Of
this and so got the man Bonner into
! his grip. He arranged to have Bon
ner drive Larnigan through the park
while gunner were planted there.
Stanford Stone by means OF die
taphone was able to keep Id close
touch with Blacks movements. since
he never for moment trusted Black.
On the day after his conversation with
Bruce. however. Stone, listening over
the dictaphone, nodded with approval.
Bruce he knew was coming to see him.
Afterward Bonner should be able to
take him through the park. And then
the graft syndicate's most dangerous
enemy would be removed!
Bruce arrived while Black was still
discussing his plans. With him was
Dorothy Maxwell.

said Stone. But IL you'll call up

Dorothy smiled her thanks. She
was left alone and by pure accident
picked up tho dictaphone receiver. To
her horror and amazement she heard
Black giving the final orders for
Bruce's murder. Her heart almost stop

He nodded a farewell to Stone and
went down with her. At the curb she
seized his arm.

please. Bruce! Send Bonner home
alone. want to show you how my

He thought nothing Of her request
and was glad to yield. Bonner, star
tied and dismayed, saw what had hap

home as he was told to do, he hurried
to Black.
Damn said Black. "well. well
have to get those fellows and plant
them near Larnigan's house. Come on;
take me through the park. It's riskier,
but that can't be helped"
Bonner obeyed. They hurried into
the park, and at the fatal spot. as
Black stood up, volley rang out. The
gun men had mistaken their employer
for their victim. Black fell dead!

Bruce during his talk with Stevens and

had arbitrarily refused to give her
more time. and her lawyer had told
her that he had found no one willing
to take 1t up, good as was the security.
Bruce saw in this plot on the part
Of the fifteen to punish him. But Doro-
thy, without telling him Of her inten-
tons, determined to save him.
Everything will come out all right"
Dorothy assured Bruce.
She had some property Of her own,
and she went straight to her father
and asked him to advance her large
sum OH certain securities. He laughed
