Unless I've lost my eye" He sat
down and looked at Barney vacantly.
His face became mildly blank in
thought. CAT college, studying med

very ambitious. He went in for ath-

became chummy. Van Amberg
talked about him at home, and in

her brother speak of him. She was
Iredisposed. Harper saw his chance
and took it. But he would conceal
from Van Amberg the fact that he
was making love to the sister. And
having made sure of the girl, he
would be less considerate of the
brother. That's where, the quarrel
would come from. Then when the
fathers death left the girl her money
they married, and Harper gave up
medicine. He wanted power. It's in
his face. Her money meant power.
1t meant career.

vanished; the lights had gone out.
The tram slowed down and stopped:
the trolley had come off. The child
gave a cry and was silent. The pas
sengers sat still in weird twilight;
there were whisperings and gig
gllngs. Then from the platform at

voice speaking in drunken passion:

Barney went, unwillingly.
A while later Babbing notified him
by telephone: "Be at your desk at
o'clock this afternoon. / want you
to make another appearance in this
Harper business"
At ten minutes after 8 he was
called to Babbing's private Office and
introduced to Eugene Van Amberg
as "a young man who has been out
on the case" And with his morn
ing's lesson in mis- mind Barney gave
all his gaze to Van Amberg and took
a good impression of him, demurely
He was a tall, loose-shouldered
man Of thirty-fve, very dryly tanned
with a philosophic long nose and a
thin-lipped mouth. He was we'll
dressed in a negligent manner.
He said to Babbing: II didn't ex-
actly understand what the case was.
And he had a deep, but peculiarly
gentle, sort Of voice.
Babbing nodded. emo. I couldn't
be explicit over the telephone. Sit
down.
"What l am going to tell you,'
Babbing said very slowly, els, of
course, confidential. We have a
client who has been blackmailed sys-
tematically for some years by a
! woman and two men in this city. AS
in the majority of such cases, he is
not in position to prosecute. And
we have been investigating the op-
erations Of the gang in the hope of
finding a victim on whom we might
successfully base a prosecution" He
reached for a file Of typewriter re-
ports on his desk and began to turn
the pages.
'In the course of this investigation
we obtained evidence to indicate that
the blaclSmailers had either sent, or
were preparing to send, letters to a
