This idea, which seemed most reasonable
TO Spice, suggested q number Of f-plans. He
might go to the. nearest police station and
insist on an immediate search o: all the
places nearby where 4 stolen car could be
hidden. Again. he might try the effect Of q
cold blu1. walk into the club, and tell Mike
that member Of the club had been recog.
. nized in the act OF making of with the car
and that,if It was promptly returned he would
take no further action. A third project was
to teconnoiter the house from the rear and
see II It were not possible to listen or climb
in at a back window and learn something
definite about the inmates.
The second plan. that Of trying bluff.
most appealed to Spices taste. but it struck
him that this would, have much better chance
Of success II put in operation after trying the
last and possibly getting something with
which to back his bluff. He decided, there.
fore. to act along these lines and was just
about to leave his observation post when the
door Of the club opened, the chauffeur dashed
out and made off up the street at run.
Spice was moved to take after him, but at
the same moment Big Mike stepped out on
the stoop and stood peering about, as though
looking for somebody. =.

Isaacs looked down into her upturped face

And now she was urging him to take no
action in protecting Spice, whom he felt to
be in the gravest danger. Moreover, her
argument was sound. Yet Isaacs knew that
It Spice were to come to grief through his
failure to take all possible measures for his
safety at this moment he could never forgive
himself. There would always be the haunting
consciousness that In his noninterterence

Marcia, their relative official positions had

away with him.
In the present case pride forbade his re-

then, as 1saacs listened sulkily. too disgusted
to argue further. he received shock which
nearly cent him over backward. For, to his

to speak. Isaacs' Jaw dropped and the hair
bristled at the nape Of his neck. He stared
at Marcia as one Of her playmates might have
