 The first automobile was out of sight, the second machine two blocks down the street by the time I could comprehend what two Resilius Mar vels meant and what that discovery might mean for me.

 As 1 left the apartment house, got breakfast and went down to the bank, I felt that I must not re- main inert.

 The residence of the financier was certainly worth viewing. I could not help but admire the ornate residence. the beautiful garden surroundings. Slowly retracing my way townwards again I slowed up as I saw two men come out through the iron-guarded gateway.
 The one I recognized first was the Duplicate. Except in his walk and the build of his frame he was Resilius well made up. A person who had only

 And then l fell to studying the Du- plicate's companion. The latter wore no long beard, his attire was different from that of the man I had seen at Marvel's apartments the evening pre- vious, but he certainly was the man who had jumped into the automobile with Resilius Marvel in pursuit

Had not the sure evidence that a false Resilius Marvel was now alone in that treasure house of riches, left to roam at will. with the watchman very prob ably instructed not to disturb him nor interfere with his actions?
 Of surety the Duplicate was a criminal. He could, therefore, only have gained the confidence of the bank president with some evil purpose in view. It was up to me to act. The local police were at once in my thoughts. I turned, cogitating upon the course would pursue. when a
