Yes, and when I got there the
colonel was shut up in Williams Of
fee with a fellow named Smith.
When I got a place to listen in they
were getting ready to quit, and the
colonel was saying: That settles il.
Smith; you've got to come over into
I didn't catch the name of the
place-'and help u.s.
Again the gentleman with the
sharp jaw took time for narrow eyed
reflection.
You'll have to switch over from
the colonel to this fellow Smith for

length. You look him up and do it

Stanton. Then he had it out with this
second subordinate in crisp English.
I'm onto you with both feet, Shaw;

than that, 1 know why you were fired
out of MaXwell's office; you've got
sticky fingers. That's all right with
me up to a certain point, but beyond
that point you get off. Understand ?"
Shaw made no answer in direct
terms, but if his employer had been
watching the heavy-lidded eyes, he
might have seen in them the shadow
of thing much more dangerous than
plain dishonesty; passing shadow of
the fear that makes for treachery
when the sharp need for self protec-

and after he had rolled fresh cigar

to unearth Smiths record.

House block. Half an hour earlier
Smith had come to town with the
colonel in the roadster, and the two
had shut themselves up in the COL
