neighborhood, and the swift automo-

The men rushed in, followed by the
others, and the first sight that met
their eyes was the gunman lying on
his back on the floor, while George
Coe, wild-eyed and excited, was bend
ing over him. The young man still
f1ourished an automatic pistol in his
right hand, and Bill Reilly, Injured to
such scenes of violence, fancied he
meant administering the coup de grace
to his fallen adversary. Without
further ado. therefore, he caught Goes
wrist and took the weapon from him.
But the victor in the struggle did
not resist at all.

Virginia began railing at him
through a storm of tears. She would
soon have been in Mysteries, but an
unforeseen diversion came from Jake,
who unceremoniously burst the frail
lock of the closet and bounced into
the room.

Thirteenth EPISODE
CircumstantiaI Evidence
Temptation.


No one who knew Grace COe could
doubt that she was really and truly in
earnest. so it was all the more singular
that her father, though not misJudging
her character, should be a confirmed
skeptic as to the success of her philan-
thropic schemes Perhaps the caution
necessary in handling and safeguard
ing large sums of money belonging to
other people tends to weaken bank
er'S faith in human nature
Nor was the girl helped by the ac-
lions of her brother. George, whose
folly, even more than his willful ex-
travagance, plagued his father sorely.
The Spirit of Evil usually carries
full culver, and more than one vicious
shaft Iacerated Mr.. Henry Goes skin
on the unhappy day which commenced
fnauspiciously when he was visited by
his son soon after the bank opened its
doors.
"Well, dad" he cried, affecting an
air of boisterous good-humor, 81 hope

goin' strong"
How much?" inquired the banker
dryly.

However. seeing there was no help
for it, George tackled the situation
with some show of bravadO-

jauntily, Il may as well own up at

Use of yours I" broke in his father.
sYou need not trouble to give me de-
tails =" he went on, seeing that George
was nervously lingering a thick pile of
accounts. Il have made up my mind
how to treat you in the future. You will
receive a monthly allowance. Since you
are under no living expenses while you
remain under my roof, and are worse
than useless in this office. 1 have de-
cided to pay you $500 month to clear
out of the business. This sum is more
than sufficient to enable you to mix in
the society which 1 approve of. 1t will
be credited to your account on the first
of each month. Today, as a final con-
cession, will stake you with months

Protests are of no avail, and if you
look too Sulky 1 warn you that the pay
ments may be reduced by one-half."
Young Coe was ffabbergaSted, but
had the sense to realize that his father
was talking in deadly earnest, for the
time being at any rate.
That same morning Grace Coe was
trying to persuade Burton that hui

swered the call. She handed the re-
ceiver to Grace.
''Your brother wants word with
you, Miss Coe," she announced.
Silence reigned in the room while
Grace listened. Grace's eyes dilated
with fear and note of terror crept
into her voice as she turned from the
instrument.
MY brother is in some trouble. He
says he has been injured. He asks me
to come at once"
''Now, in the quick turmoil of the
moment, Burton might have hurried
the distraught girl to the waiting au-
tomobile without another spoken word,
but his downright temperament called
for full knowledge before he acted
as your brother at your home, Miss
Coe?' he asked.
mo, no: he gave me a strange adj
dress. He is in someone's apartment
at 435 Olive street"
Blanche Griffin, who had started to
her feet at the first mention of George
Goes name, seemed to shrink at hear
ing the address.
"435 Olive street," she repeated in
a dazed way. ibid Mr.. Coe mention

pointed to the reasonable hypothesis
that it had probably struck and frac-

so, Jake was in no immediate danger
and skilled surgeon would soon per-
form satisfactory operation.
The chance, however, that an overt
scandal might be avoided was dis
PEELED by the appearance of police
man, over whose shoulder peered the
anxious faces of many other residents
in the block of apartments. The sharp
snarl of the automatic had reached
many ears and the affair had now
passed into the hands of the law. A
second policeman arrived quick on the
heels of his brother officer.
'sNow, what's all this about?" de-
manded the senior of the two officers.
