CONFESS That neither your face nor
your manners particularly appeal to me-"
1t was then that Gashouse Aggie
spoke for the first time. She spoke
quickly, and in voice shrill with
apprehension. for Pareto had half
risen to his feet In a sort of cat
like crouch.
Don't start nuttin' wit that cuff
shooterl" she cried out. with her in
tent eyes fixed on Pareto's.
Il should be inclined to indorse the
advice" Wrinkle went on with the
bravery of ignorance. Especially as
I've taken the trouble to station Capt.
Ofley and three of his men just out
side that door," Then he turned to
me with his most casual drawing
room manner. "And before the music
begins I'd like to know what your in
terest Is In this Individual"
Wrinkle. I felt sure. misread the
meaning of my gasp. Still again he
was proving to me how terribly out
of place he was in that environment.
He had no comprehension Of his
perils. He quite failed to see how
futile were those four policemen who
waited somewhere around the COR
ner. For there are occasions when
out Of action. And when the music
started in a place like Tiernan's. 1t
usually started without an overture.
1t was apt to be a case Of cold steel
in the dark. or a blackjack from be-
hind. or the quick bark of q pistol
and q duck for cover
Remembering these things. I looked
Wrinkle in the eye and fbbed to him.
I flbbed to save him from his own
stupid honesty

interest In this man is q very i'm
portant one. He cannot and must
not be interfered with. am per-
fectly safe here. And II you truly
want to help me. as you say. you can
do so by going quietly out through
that door. putting your captain friend
and his men in your car. and carry
ing them back where they belong"
Wrinkles stare locked with mine.
His look was almost a combative one.
I'm sorry" he retorted. but I
can't see 1t that way. If this hole
isn't safe enough for me, it isn't safe
enough for you. And prefer being
where you are"
For the second time Pareto took
it upon himself to interrupt:
"Whata claim ave you on thisa
girl?" he demanded Of Wrinkle, with a
gesture that airily bracketed me in
with that king Of diamond thieves
unfortunately. none" was Wrinkles
altogether unexpected reply.
Pareto's sagacious eyes looked him
over.

Interrogation nor a statement. But 1t
was uttered with a sheer. with q touch

1t wasn't until then that I became
aware Of the fact that Pareto was
standing close beside me. with ono
hand on the charred table edge. His
