What are you going to do?" he
asked.

Il suppose you are taking us to the
police station" said Caldwell, but
won't you listen to me? My name is
Philip Caldwell. and this was a prac-
teal joke, the result of a bet. / have

Simpson is a prominent wholesale
merchant. Let me give you my card. /"
You don't play that game on James
Clay" repeated the millionaire stub
bornly.
The taxi whizzed toward the out
skirts and drew into the tarred road
that runs straight as a die for a hun
dred miles to the capital. 1t halted on
the high bridge that spans the river.
It stopped. The millionaire grasped
Caldwell with hands that seemed Of
steel, while in a moment Simpson
found himself struggling in the clutch
Of the son. They were flung from the
cab upon the roadway, and the We
hicle drove swiftly away.
Caldwell looked down into the foam
ing river. two hundred feet beneath
him.
What are you going to do here?"
he asked.
pitch 'em over, joe" said the mil
lionaire.
Il tell you it was all joke!" Cald-
well screamed frantically as he felt
himself being dragged toward the edge
Of the bridge. He was helpless as a
child in the old mans grip. He fought
and struggled in vain.
Suddenly the sons voice arrested
the millionaire in the final act.

claimed This gentleman is George
Simpson, Of the town. He owes our
bank nine thousand dollars. II we

who had hitherto been paralyzed from
fright. And it's all a joke-all joke,
tell you. We made a bet that any
man could be blackmailed, and we
tried it on your father. worse luck!"
Caldwell was halted on the very
verge of the abyss. do you mean to
say you aren't Red Ike of Bowville ?"
demanded his captor.
For the last time, mol" shouted
Caldwell furiously. and yet in abject
terror.
well, well. what you say goes, Joe, 1"
said the old man. "Shall we let these
jokers go free?"
Il guess we'd better. They won't
try joke like that again in a hurry"
answered Joe Clay.
AT that moment the taxi came crawl.
ing back, and the old man shook Cald-
well like puppy before setting him
free.
Il knew 1t was joke all the time"
he said. II had you investigated.
Knew where you posted the letter and
all. Don't try 1t again. Walk home.
Good-byi"
The taxi whirled away with the old
man and his son, leaving two discon-
ISOLATE, disheveled betsters staring at
each other upon the bridge.
We'll, anyway, you pay" snarled
Caldwell.
DO II" asked Simpson meaningly
why? 1t strikes me that it's up to
you"
And with a shock Caldwell realized
that his theory had still to be put to
the test.
