MAGAZINE SECTION for March IL, 1917

suppression of graft among the police,
and he did not look for their hearty sup
port in any direction. That was why he
had seized so eagerly on Tim Scar
borough's services.
Scarborough was in Spitzen now,
on Browns trail. There, he had felt,
lay their best chance of progress, and,
remembering him, Redding fervently
hoped he might not have the trip in
vain. But in the meantime there was
the story of the check to be investi-
gated. If the Trumpet had had that, it
might indeed have heralded an amazing
discovery.
THE doors of the Pan-American Trust
Company were hardly well opened when
the District Attorney passed through
them, to be ushered to the private Office
of the cashier, who CHANGED to be the
highest official visible. But he, it APP
peared, knew nothing about the check
the matter not having been brought to
his attention. He seemed frankly sur
prised when Redding stated his errand
His desk telephone put him speedily
in touch with the paying tellers, and
after several questions he ended his in
quiry with the request:
"Just come round here Baker, will you?'
Baker came at once. He was a young
man of twenty-eight or nine, quite COM
monplace in appearance, but with an
agreeable manner. He had cashed the
check for Mr.. Welles-H Hewitt, who was a
customer of the bank, after calling up
the Mexican Mines office, he replied to
III t. N,llo
Hewitt had said he was going to Mexico
that night, and might find so large a
check, or any check, hard to cash down
there, with the country in its unsettled
state. The bills, which were of large
denominations, the teller had made into
a fairly small package, and this the Eng
lishman had slowed away in an inner
pocket That was all Baker knew of the
matter.
"You should have told me this yes
terday-when you heard of the murder,
snapped the cashier, evidently not pleased
to have been caught uniformed on the
subject.
81 didn't think it important, sir,
replied the teller deferentally "The
newspapers said no money was taken
only papers of some kind. Was the
money stolen, SIR"
The cashier frowned at the question;
but Redding answered it,
1--WE don't know yet"
"That's all, Baker" said the cashier
sharply.
The young man turned at once and
walked to the door, There, however, he
faced about again, and, after wavering
glance at the District Attorney, said
hesitantly:
Perhaps l ought to tell you, sir, that
Mr. Valentin Gil deposited twenty
thousand dollars in cash yesterday morn
ing, just"
WHAT
The interruption came like the snap
of a trigger, and the scandalized cashier
glared furiously at his subordinate That
unfortunate young man, in his anxiety
to avoid further sins of omission, had
committed heinous offense. Was he a
fool? Didn't he know that customers
affairs, if discussed at all, We're to be dis
cussed in the bosom of the bank family?
How MANY customers did he think the

with them; but the teller's indiscreton
was grist for his mill, and he meant to
use it.
as that an unusual deposit for Gil?"
he inquired.
"Not at ALL.
1t was the cashier who replied; but,
not having put the question to him, Red
ding continued to look expectantly at
Baker
The latter's position was obviously
uncomfortable. He had either to con-
tradict an official of the bank or to allow
his own imprudent disclosure about Gil
to go unjustified. 1t was no wonder that
he hesitated before he answered. But
when he did he achieved, Redding thought,
a rather clever compromise.
"No, it isn't unusual sir-eXcept for
one thing, he said, with respectful in
clusion of the cashier in his glance. "Mr.
Gil often handles quite large sums, but
but not cash
81 see. And this twenty thousand was
all cash."
"Yes. sir.
"How about the denominations"
"They were-large, sir" Baker replied
with frank reluctance
There was a pause then. The cashier
squirmed in his chair, but did not speak.
And Redding, watching the teller's trou-
bled face, hestated to ask the question on
his lips.
AT last he brought it out:
81 don't suppose you could have-iden-
tilted the money-in a general way, |
mean"
"Oh, no, sir, Baker said quickly Then,
after moment: at was yesterday morn
ing, you see, and didn't know then that
i mean, it wasn't till this morning,
when | saw the Trumpet"
Again he stopped as if he shrank, as
Redding had, from putting into words the
thought in both their minds.
Through his big shell-rimmed lenses
the District Attorney once more studied
the face OF the younger man. He had
sudden notion that, reluctant as the latter
had been to disclose the facts about Gill
he had made the revelation purposely and
not through stupid inadvertence, as had
at first appeared. In the pupils of the
pale-gray eyes there was a look of tension;
and on the high forehead, from which the
brown hair turned backward in a POM
padour, the veins stood out.
The man had done a difficult and
ungrateful task from an impelling sense
of duty. He was just the type for that
sort of sacrifice. No doubt the whole
bank was agog about Gil. And if one
could get this chap alone or some of
the other clerks, perhaps one might
get hold of valuable information. But
to press the inquiry now would probably
accomplish nothing.
"Thank you," said Redding finally,
with slight nod of Dismissal; and Baker,
without waiting for the ashier's word,
turned and hurried from the room as if
eager to get away.
II ETURNING to his own office, the
District Attorney sent for Gill The
Mexican came promptly, having evil
IDENTIFY expected the summons, He took
the seat to which he was invited silently,
his narrow black eyes fixed on Reddng.
"Mr. Gill" began the latter, "to come
at once to the point, how do you explain
the fact that no papers can be found
showing a transfer of the Rosa1ha nina

face a take it you haven't heard that
on the morning of the day of his murder
Weles-Hewitt sold the Rosalba mine to
the Mexican Mines Company, and re-
ceived from them check for first
payment of twenty-five thousand dollars"
Before he had got to the end of his
speech, Redding knew he had accom-
plished his purpose to give his hearer a
surprise For an instant the latter's jaw
sagged helplessly. Then it snapped up,
and the swarthy face became a murkish
red from which the temple veins stood
out like purple cords. But it was not fear
or confusion that spoke from the Indian
eyes: it was fury.
Yet not word came from him. He
just sat rigid, staring at Redding until the
latter added, still in the same quietly
significant way:
"And he cashed the check"
This shot seemed to miss fire. Gil ap-
peared not to hear it, or not to catch its
drift; for in replying he ignored it,
"No, hadn't heard anything about
this sale you speak Of" he began slowly
and constrainedly. "But what | have
told you is true-every word. | was
buying the Rosalba mine for Lars Johan-
sen-he'll tell you So.
"Indeed?" said Redding, as if the an
nouncement were news to him. "Then
his name was on the papers you spoke Of
not yours? Perhaps that is why"
mo; | was buying it to resell to
him."
Gil stopped an instant; then went on,
with a more dogged set to his lean Jaw
"Welles-Hewitt didn't know anything
about my deal with Johansen. He was
willing to sell cheap and Johansen to pay
high. 1t was all right for me to make the
difference, wasn't it?"
"Gil, do you expect me to beliece you?"
said Redding sharply, suddenly discard
ing his deliberatene of manner. "Do
you expect me to believe that Weles-
Hewitt, after selling his mine and taking
money for it, was going to sell it again."
The face of the Mexican was set and
hard. The wave of angry blood had
ebbed, leaving it gray under its pale
copper surface.
"That's exactly what he was going to
do, he said harshly. "If you had known
him you'd believe it, That was why he
wanted cash. Nothing but his death
saved my money. But | don't know who
killed him or why. Every word I've told
you is the truth
"All right" snapped Redding. "Then
tell the truth now. Where did you get the
money!
al can't give you the mans name,' Gil
answered doggedly.
Hes a business man, you said. Then
the money was in small bills, SUPPOSE"
Gil hesitated, staring at his questioner
"Yes, mostly small" he replied finally
"Some hundreds, but mostly twenties 5"
Instantly Redding's arm shot out and
he pressed button on his desk At the
signal the door opened and two policemen
appeared. The District Attorney nodded
to them, then looked at Gill
"You're under arrest" he said.
THE announcement of Gil's arrest APP
peared in the early editions of the after
noon papers, with details of the events
leading up to it. These Redding had sup
piled, partly to justify step he had been
loath to fa ka and narflx ho,a,,eo h., ,,,

"They claim to, both through every
thing found in the library and on the
body, and also through the dead mans
hand baggage which was in his bed
ROOM"
There was a slight pause; then Gil
shrugged his heavy shoulders.
"Ive told all know" he said
"Not quite, think, returned Redding
quietly. "You told the police that you
and Welles-Hewitt had dispute about
something that prevented the sale of the
mine from going through then and there.
What was it?'
at was about the-the terms of
payment
al see Welf?"
"Thats all, said Gil, with another
shrug.
"You don't care to be more explicit?'
"No."
"And do you care to tell now where you
went when you left your taxi at the
elevated station?"
"No."
Redding waited moment before re-
marking in the same even, inquring
tone:
ask you Mr. Gil That is this: Where
did you get the twenty thousand dollars
in cash that you deposited yesterday
morning with the Pan-American Trust
Company"
FOR a startled instant the black eyes of
the Mexican widened Then he recov-
cred himself, laughing shortly.
"Oh-you know that, do you?' he said.
"Then I'll have to tell, | guess That was
what the dispute was about. | had a GER
titled check that | had gone to Washing
ton to get. A client of mine there was
financing the deal for mel can prove
that"
He paused to give this assertion due
weight.
"But when | offered Weles-Hewitt the
check, he refused it-sad he had to have
and unless | could get the money by
that time the deal was off
Again Gil stopped, frowning.
Il was indignant-naturally And
we had words
"You quarreled?"
"Well-we had words. But when |
saw that he meant what he said, | went
off to get the money. The deal was
good one for me and | was determined to
put it through. My first idea was to go
to a rich client who, | thought might
manage somehow to get me the cash
Then | realized the hopelessness of that
at such an hour, and started back to try
to reason with Welles-Hewitt again
"Then-then | thought of a business
man downtown-he was once a client of
mine-who lives over his business and
keeps considerable cash on hand in safe
he's got. SO | went to him. There was
chance-my only chance-of getting
the money there. And got it.
But. as you know, Welles-Hewitt was
dead when | returned to his house. So
this morning | took the money to the
bank--naturally.
4And this man that you got it from
what is his name and business?" ques-
toned the District Attorney.

'IHE announcement OF GllS arrest ap-
peared in the early editions of the after
noon papers, with details of the events
leading up to it. These Redding had sup
piled, partly to justify a step he had been
loath to take, and partly because he con-
sidered publicity expedient One fact
alone he withheld-Bakers name. To
publish it, he felt, would be hardly fair.
He was indebted to the teller for service
rendered obviously against the latters
personal inclination. To direct the ewes
of the town upon him would be a thank
less return for the performance of hard
duty. Besides, it was not necessary that
the public should know which particular
employee of the Pan-American Trust
Company had furnished the information
about the Mexican's suspicious deposit.
OF the thousands of people in New
York who saw that first report of the ar
rest, probably none read it with keener
interest than a certain young man who
bought his copy of paper containing it
from newsboy in the bar of prominent
downtown hotel, about two o'clock.
