Then he pushed Smith up the step,
and in a flash was in after him, clos
ing h door with a snap.
The officer, however, seemed in no
great haste to follow. Pulled UP
with the importance Of his position,
he turned leisurely to his fellows to
give a few parting instructions. Mean
while the three men in the tonneau,
with heads together, conversed rapidly
in low tones. ~
Such was the situation when an
other motor; containing one man in
citizens dress and three more DO
licemen in uniform, wheeled sharply
around the corner into the side street
and came to a noisily throbbing halt
directly behind Brooke's hired ma
chine.
The light from a street lamp fall
ing across the face OF the man in citi-
zen's garb, revealed his identity at a
glance to the three in the other ton

"Foley!" Fa
They breathed the name in chorus.
Then, just a. Foley with a shout
sprang down to- the pavement and
the officers began clambering out,
feurs ear. and very quietly, slowly
for but a second, and with quickly
gathered momentum, his car glided
! away down the street. =
Instantly pandemonium broke loose
In the crowd left behind. Shouts
rang out on the still night air. Curses,
commands, excavations were mingled
in e hoarse bedlam Of voices. Pistol
shot awoke the echoes Of the usually
quiet night neiEhborhood. Half a
dozen policemen with Foley In their
midst crowded into the other motor,
and away 1t fled in pursuit, less thar
a block behind its quarry.
