Francis, as I understand IL, might
consist OF hard cash or OF securi-

hustled all night to get, and what
am confident Is not sufficient
How much have you broughtg'
Henry asked bluntly.
"Eighteen hundred thousand
what have you brought?"
"Pihle," said Henry, pointing TO
the open situcase, unaware that
he talked TO a three-generations'
gem expert.
A quick examination OF a dozen
Of the gems picked at random, and
an even quicker eye-estimate OF
the quantity. put wonder and ex-
eitement into Charley Tippery's
face.
They're worth miliions,-mill-
fonsw he exclaimed. what are
you going to do with them?"
Negotiate them, so as TO help 1
Francis out" Henry answered.
They're security for any amount,
aren't they?"
"Close up the suit case" Charley
Tippery cried, while 1 telephone!

his shoulder, while waiting for his
switch. "It's only five minutes run
from here"
Just as he concluded the brief
words with his father. Parker, fol-
lowed by a police lieutenant and
two policemen, entered.
There's the gang, lieutenant

beg your pardon. Mr.. Tippery. Not

lieutenant / don't know what the
charge will be-crazy, anyway, IL
not worse, which is more likely"
'How do you do, Mr.. Tippery,"
the lieutenant greeted familiarly-
"You'H srrest nobody Lieutenant

Ehim. 'You can send the wagon

a sight given to few men in this
world to see-and now. come on,

He made a grab at the suit case
simultaneously with Henry, and. as
both their hands clutched Il. Lieu
tenant Burns sprarg II interfere.
"I fancy IU carry IL until it's

Surely, surely" Charley Tippery
corcedad, "as long as we don't lose

take time to do the negotiating.
Come on! Hustle"
