terfeit 500 treasury notes on the
city banks"
The old man, his hands grasping
the arms of the chair, tried to hold
himself together. He directed one
look at Marvel-reproachful, pleading,
a lost look. His were the eyes of a
man who saw a stranger enter his
presence and bring a stately fabric
into the midst of sudden devastation
and ruin.
"Where-where is my nephew" his
lips framed, rather than uttered.
How came he to find the notes..
1t was an admission, and 1 noted
Marvel's lips settle grimly-a point
scored, a start made.
IF you had the notes in this house."
he ventured a~udaciously, what of the
plates from which they were print
ed?"
You know all! Then it is-ruini"
broke in a despairing cry from the
old mans lips.
Quick, call someone" directed
Marvel, as Buckingham fell to one
side. A spasm convulsed his frame
and he lay rigid and speechless. My
friend had lifted him to an easier posi-
ton, while l hastened to the hall and
advised the servant there of his mas
ter's condition.
We waited until after a physician
had been called. He shook his head
seriously while they placed the mil
lonaire on a couch. Then he went
to work on him His attitude he
came more %reassuring as the patient
recovered consciousness and looked
about him in a bewildered way. Then
as his eye fell on Marvel the old
fright or fear, terror or apprehension,
or whatever it was, came back into
his face.
Take" he urged, "a blank signed
check. Fill in for any amount, only
e-s my family from shame"
"And the plates?" gently but firm
ly persisted Marvel, waving back the
proffered check.
"Come-come-" the tortured
tones grew more feeble, when IL
send for you"
We saw that he vas going into an
other sinking spell. Marvel hastily
summoned the physician, and we
passed down the hall and out of the
house. Silently my friend led the
way to the machine awaiting us at
the corner of the next street, reached
his office, dismissed the chauffeur and
nodded a casual adieu to myself.

most instantly q stout woman, evil
IDENTIFY a servant, crossed my range of
vision. She caressed and talked to
the leaping animal and walked to the
fence, as If expecting that the ami
mails arrival prefaced that of its ex-
pected master. She came directly up
to Marvel, the fence between them.
He spoke to her and she answered
him, took a look down the al
ley, and, turning, went back towards

and beckoned me to join him.

of the house." he remarked, as we
completed the length of the lane, and
turned to carry out this plan. That
is the home of the dog. ! asked the
woman you saw if the dog belonged

And she said yes?"
with the addendum that its owner
was the nephew of her master, and
she wondered why he did not come
home with the animal, as he usually
did"
1t was no task to locate the front
of the lot where the dog had run to
cover 1t was an imposing stone
structure. We halted in front of it,
and my friend read aloud the name
engraven on the broad old-style sill
yer plate on one of the ornamental
front doors:
Arnold Buckingham"
Then Resilius Marvel looked at me,
and my yes meeting his expressive
glance, full of wonder, reflected some
what a manifest surprise, if not a
positive shock in his own.
There was not a better name at the
banks than that of Arnold Bucking-
ham. Resilius Marvel knew it from
hearsay, and l from practical knowl-
edge of a financial responsibility rated
way up in the millions. There could
not help but be a direct challenge in
my face. My companion simply
shrugged his shoulders.
Come" he said, his course Of pro.
cedure boldly formulated in his mind
within the space of a minute, and he
led the way up the steps, rang the
front door bell and stepped inside the
vestibule.
! wondered what strange freak OF
fate had led us to this lordly mansion,
to the presence of a man retired from
active business with a royal fortune,

bank. / wondered, too, how my
friend, skilled and all powerful as he
was, would proceed in a case where
the sure criminal trail led straight
from the portals of a common prison
to this abode of luxury and wealth.
A servan answered a question put
by Marvel, and ushered him into a
majestic reception room, took his
card, and we both arose as a man
aged, austere, dignif1ed. came into the
apartment with an easy, ol~d-fashioned
sense of courtesy that charmed me.
He had Marvel's card in his hand, and
l fancied the name it bore had
aroused him into curiosity or interest
as to the personality it represented.
Marvel weighed his man in the scales
of a mature judgment, and went to
the heart of his subject forthwith.
"I have come on an important and
serious mission in behalf of the gov
eminent, Mr.. buckingham" he an
nounced.
"Of the-government?"
Very slowly, as though difficult Of
u~tterance, MI. Buckingham pro-
nounced hat last word. l thought he

ceeded back to the Central National.
The city center streets were COM
paratively deserted. as the business
crowds had gone homewards some
time since. Marvel carried the dog
to the barred front of the bank, set
the little animal on the pavement and
returned to the machine
Just follow that dog" he ordered
to the chauffeur, and fixed his eye
closely upon the object of his interest.
The fox terrier crowded through
the barred gate protecting the en-
trance to the bank, ran up to the
great bronze doors and lifted its head
and howled. Then it shifted around
in a circle, came out to the pavement,
threw its nose up In the air in several
directions and trotted down the street
on a bee line.
There could be no doubt that the
