SIR" to Weam, surely this is the
first time that a detective has ap-
pealed to you for assistance in de-
feating the police"
why should you think that /
can help your" he asked.
"Because,9 replied Sorran, deter
mined to pierce his indifference,
you are the most resourceful
rogue in New York-which is to
say. the world"
Weam nodded slowly, but beyond
this made no sign that he had
heard Sorran's accusation.
"Supposing that am able to per-
form this little favor for you," he
said, what consideration may ] ex-
pect in return?"
"A one per cent chance Of escape
for yourself"
From what?" demanded Weam.
From execution for the murder
OF Lucy Wilding."
Sorran had succeeded. The mask
OF passive indifference was torn
off. For the first time Weam
looked his age. His hands Shook.
His jaw dropped, while his iron
will struggled to overcome the ef
fects OF the shock.
Rosemary Wilding was gazing

In her eyes.

CHAPTER XVI.
A Grin, Dilemma.

@ORRAN, Rosemary's hand on
his arm, made for the door
way Weam was standing in
their path and made no effort to
draw aside.
"Do you know that Mr.. Sorran is
a detective?" he asked in that quiet,
family quavering voice that some
how gave the suggestion Of i'm
mense self-confdence.
The effect Of his words was cleo
trical. Rosemary snatched her
hand from Sorran's arm.
oh" she gasped. "How un-
utterably mean! thought you
were my friend" she added re-
proachfully.
81 am" returned Sorran. What
has my profession to do with our
friendship? Don't you trust me?"
81 don't know who to trust. she
walled wretchedly.
"If / were your enemy" said
Sorran, 81 would have come here
with a warrant for your arrest.
Would have walked into a house
where you are protected by your
er-friends, unarmed and unaccom.
panied?"
"You have not come unaccompa.
nied." said Gillingham, who was
standing by the window.
Sorran gave the speaker puzzled
glance. Weam asked a question
with his eyes.
Weam's face was a mask Of pas
sive indifference.
There are three plain clothes
men in the street below" he added,
speaking to Weam. "Renshaw, Of
the police headquarters, is posting
them. There are probably an equal
number at least In front-a Gordon
round the house. Mr.. Sorran has
some dozen members OF the police
force to protect him from-Miss
Wilding's friends"
Sorran strode over to the window
and looked out. Renshaw he rec
ognized. He had no difficulty in
making out the three plain clothes
men.
There was the fact. The infer
ence? The Inference was abun-
dainty clear. There was only one
way in which the official police
could have become aware Of that
curiosity shop and its significance
In the Mpak mystery, and that was
by shadowing his own movements.
SO Inspector Dolan had as little
faith as that, thought Sorran. So
much the better. He knew where
he was. He considered himself
wholly free to make whatever bar
gain he liked
That is so much nonsense" he
said to Rosemary. These gentle
men will both tell you that have
no connection whatever with the
police force"
"Mr. Sorran Is private detec.
tive" said Weam, "but Is at pres.
ent working for the police. HIS
probable object in persuading you
to leave this house is to hand you
over to them"
The Washington times., 1920-09-19

A Gentleman Promise.
Yv7EAM showed not the least
w rams demand.
Certainly, if it is convenient for
Miss Wilding to see you," he an
swered, and added:
"You are Mr.. Sorran, presume"
Sorran bowed acknowledgment.
Weam led the way through the door
at the back Of the shop. Sorran
followed up fight of stairs richly
carpeted.
On the first floor Weam opened
the door of a room, to reach which
they turned at right angles from
the head of the staircase, so that
Sorran judged that they passed
into what had been originally the
next house.
In the room, talking to Captain
Gillingham, stood Rosemary Wild
ing.
Sorran noticed that the cream
white Of her complexion had now
an ashen quality. Her eyes, blue
green as an Irish sea, looked up
into his. startled, as he entered, and
made his pulses throb.
"Mr. Sorran wishes to see you,
my dear" said Weam in a tone that
indicated nothing but fatherliness.
"Mr. Sorran?" repeated the girl.
This is the gentleman whom / met
in the lobby of the Astorbilt."
81 am glad you've not forgotten
me, Miss Wilding," said Sorran. II
have come to take you home"
"Oh, no, no." cried the girl, that
is impossible" AS II her sudden
outburst required explanation she
added: "Please remember that you
are a perfect stranger to me. You
youself told me that ! must be care
full with strangers"

moment-by your h

"Of course, it isn't" snapped Gil
lingham.
Weam, in those few seconds, had
recovered himself
IF Mr.. Sorran thinks that he can
prove 1t, he will doubtless try"
In her grim dilemma Rosemary's
instinct made her turn to Sorran.
Take me away" she sobbed.
Il am sorry" said Sorran. 81
would to God could do as you ask.
but | can't" He turned again to
Weam. "Well?" he demanded.
Weam was not without that
touch of greatness which Is often
found in the master criminal. Each
move in the game he played with
his own life and the lives Of others
was clearly understood. His judg-
ment was never stampeded by
panic. Dispassionately, imperson-
ally almost, he realized that at that
particular point Sorran's interests
happened to coincide with his own.
81 will do as you ask" he said,
and added, because 1t happens to
suit me-"
He turned to Rosemary. The girl
recoiled before her sisters MUIR
derer.
ut is our only chance" Sorran
warned her. She seemed to gain
strength from his words and stood
her ground. Weam came closer to
her.
Keep STILL" he commanded irri-
tably; Il am not going to hurt
you"

A Fascinating New Detective Mystery Story

As he spoke his nervous. bony
hand reached and caught the pin.
The next moment Rosemary's
wealth OF hair fell " a cascade TO
her shoulders, 10 her waist, below
her waist.
The girl, In obedience TO a glance
from Sorran. made no movement.
Weam caught one OF the unpent
tresses and held 1t in the palm OF
his hand.
"Your hair" he said. and again
there came into his voice that
weird sound that was a chuckle.
"lt pleases my sense OF humor to
save you-for the moment-by your
hair"
AS he spoke he drew pair of
scissors from his pocket and sew
cred the tress. He held II for a
moment In his Grabbed fingers; II
cleaned so that his hands seemed
stepped in blood.

The girl from East Pennacook!
Her naivete was beyond all ques-

81 am not such a stranger as I
was then" said Sorran. 81 have
seen your mother in the meantime.
And I promised that l would bring
you safely home"
Rosemary looked surprised and
not a little puzzled.
"If you have been to see my
mother" she said, "she will have
told you why l came to New York"
"She did," said Sorran. "She
told me you had come to find your
sister, Lucy. And | promise you.

will come with me now II will

Rosemary Wilding crossed i'm

'T'm speaking from downtown,

"Well. there's nothing in that, is
theref" snapped the inspector.
"Yes, sir, l think there is. Mr..
Sorran hung about for over FIVE,
minutes before entering. While he
was waiting the man who is reg
istered at the Astorbilt as Captain
Gillingham entered the shop before
Mr.. Sorran."
That's a smart bit Of work on
your part, Walters. Anything to
add?"
"Yes, sir. I went past the shop
a moment ago and looked in. There
was no one in the shop, so / en-
tered quietly. ! could hear voices
coming from a room at the back OF
the shop. One of them was Mr.
Sorran's voice and one OF them, was
a woman's-a young woman's, l
should think, sir, and lady judg-
ing by the speech, though couldn't
hear what was said"
Right" said the inspector. GO
back to your post, and II you see
Mr.. Renshaw before you follow Mr.
Sorran from that neighborhood,
obey any orders he may give Got
that?"
"Yes, sir"
Inspector Dolan put hurry call
through to the Battery police sta
tion.
"How many plain clothes men
have you available at the mo-
ment?" he asked.
Fifteen. sir"
"Do you know a curiosity shop in
Christopher street run under the
name of Weam?"
"Yes, SIR"
"Send ten of your plain clothes
men out under Renshaw. Draw a
Gordon round that shop and shadow
any man that comes out. II

at once on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the murder Of Prince

provisions were generally lower.
prices ranging from unchanged to so
down.
Interest in thei wheat market was
the lightest of the week. Business
was mainly of a local character. and
the price ranged within an advance
of cent and a loss of a like amount,
with the close a fraction lower than
yesterdays finish.
There was an absence of seaboard
buying to any extent, but there was
enough absorption on weak spots to
steady the market. The report that
the Argentine market was off 2
and that the price of -four had drop
ped 10 per barrel were the chief in
fiuences. Seaboard reports did not
hold out any encouragement for ex-
port business for the next few
days, and news on the farm strike
continued to be conflicting.
, Heavy short covering was noted in
the corn pit throughout the session.
owing to the improved shipping de-
mand and lighter receipts. The close
was at the best prices of the day. Re
ports of charters to move corn via
the gulf were influential in advanc-
ing prices. Trade was only moderate.
Oats sold at the best prices of the
week today and closed at the best
of the day. The gain. however, was
only fractional, as the trade was
light.
There was only a moderate trade in
provisions and confined mostly to
lard, Of which offerings were quite
free, but buyers scarce.

Needs Greater Resources.
There is a limit, however. to such
achievement without the aid OF great
er material resources. That need was
recognized in the provisions OF the
transportation act to permit combin-
ing the railroad properties into lin
tied number Of systems to be deter
mined by the interstate commission.
Under such plan," the law reads.
competition shall be preserved as
fully as possible and wherever prac-
ticable the existing routes and chan
nels of trade shall be maintained"
The law also provides that these
consultations shall be so arranged
that the cost of transportation as be-
tween competitive systems. as related
to the values of the properties, shall
be the same, 80 that these systems
can employ uniform rates in the
movement of competitive traffic" In
other words, there are to be no more

proved ruinous to railroads in the past,
deriving them of the revenues re-
auired to make improvements now so
