 An instant later a gun appeared in ths' detectives hand, and as Judge Crane turned back into the candy store he saw the man order Red into the seat beside him.
 Passing quickly through the shop and store room, he found the others in the secret room much as he had left them. Ballin looked up in surprise as he en- tered, questioning from on his face. He had been speaking to Frances. a little apart from the rest, and the girl had evidently been trying to comfort him. or at least to ease the news that had fallen like a blow in his shoulders.
 "We found the door" Judge Crane ex- plained, stepping close to Ballln. "It was open, and the man outside declares that no one has left the shop. The only an- swer is that she must have opened the door. found that she was being watched, and gone back down the stairs"
 Then she is still there!" Ballln ex-. claimed.
 "Evidently." the judge answered.

This game is getting too serious to monkey with. Already the principal of your gang has given me the slip, or so it looks now, and you can make sure that I'm not going to stand any fooling from you.
