That's the stuff! Ill straighten him

Waterman. II want to see youi"
And when the guardian OF the dock
came up he took him aside and said:
Say We are going to take the yacht
outside today to see how shs behaves
on the real ocean. Wen be back b.

Hemenway began to bite his nails n
sheer nervousness and talk to himself.

in my hand and held up by those
ginks. l could murder them without

He walked up the dock, walked
back again. paid off the truokmsn, and
hailed the Waterman.
"Say have you seen Q tall young
fellow in black felt hat around hare
this morning or last night?"
Eyes, sir; there was a young fellow
drove up here in a taxicab last night
about shutdown. He gave me some
bundles to put on board the schooner
and then drove off again.
Hemenway breathed easier. "You
didn't see a shorter and stouter man
about thirty five years old down here
last night did your"
mo, sir: the young fellow was The
only one."
"That'll be Joe, I guess" said Hem

Then. moment later: But I have
mt got four yet Now. wouldn't that
make a saint swear?" and suiting the
thought to the word he let out 4 few
subdued but fervent oaths. Thu
seemed to relieve him.
He remembered he had all day and
all night before him; that there was
no chance of the bank robbery being
discovered before Monday morning.
He had more than twenty four hours
In which to make good his getaway.
He cheered up. He would give the
two delinquents a little more leeway,
and then II they failed to appear he
would seek professional aid to COM
plete his crew. He could afford Il
now, he told himself. He hadn't the
slightest idea how much plumber he
had slowed away in the boxes ana
trunk, but he figured he was on Easy
Street for life. For the moment he
forgot his troubles and q smile Of sat-
isfaction bespread his care worn faso.
His thoughts were interrupted By
the sound Of motor car In the dis
lance. The sound ceased, and Hem.
enway walked out to see what wa
doing. A block away he saw . man
that looked like Joe talking to the
chauffeur. 1t was Joe. and this -
what Joe was saying:

I'll meet you right here. Wait for me-"
The taxicab started off and Lent
with his black bundle walked toward
the dock. Hemenway was waiting for
him with a grin on his face.
Hello, Joseph he said; Il thought
you were never coming. What made
you stop block away from the dock.
and what have you got in your arms"
That's a Tuxedo coat" replied
Joe. II thought I might need 1t at
