GrOn was guilty of this crime; they
were obliterated from further con-
sideration. These two worthless had
undoubtedly done their best, but had
been outgeneraled by some one else !;
and, whoever that other might be, he
had made a clear getaway, leaving
not even a lurking suspicion behind
him. It was the job of a master-thief,
an expert in crime-or else had been
accomplished through the blind luck
of some one whose very identity
cloaked any possibility Of suspicion.

Of this curtain of mystery.
What could it mean, but that she

What, indeed, except shame at the

CHAPTER K
The Proof Of Murder-The Back Room
of Costiqan'S

of costigan's
I watched her through the glass
doors until she vanished among the
crowd in the lobby. I could not per-
NIT her to go away like this; to get
beyond my sight and acknowledgement
I hesitsted too long, until she had
merged into the swirling crowd and
was lost.
1t was indeed q strange feeling of
loneliness which swept over me in
that moment. Never before had 1 felt
such depth of interest in woman, or
experienced such regret at parting.
With no apparent effort, seemingly ut
terly Indifferent, she had nevertheless
become intwined with my life, her
presence a necessity for my happiness.
The soft pressure of her body, the
touch of her hand, was intoxication; ;
the glance Of her eyes sent the warm
blood ptlsing through my veins. She
had become tb me an inspiration,
memory to dream over, q hope no
longer to be resisted.
This was strange, so strange as to
be beyond understanding. I argued
1t with myself, but to no result. The
fact would not be denied. Here was
an unknown woman, original and
beautiful, to be sure, yet one whose
very identity was shrouded in mys-
terry. To all appearances she was &C
lively engaged in conspiracy against
the government Of Chile, in crime
against human life She was unQues-
tionably the authorized agent Of a
gang of revolutionary plotters-I had
witnessed their reception Of her as
one of their own, and could not doubt
the evidence Of my own eyes. She
had borne them Instructions and stood
in their midst, in secret conclave,
speaking as one having authority.
More than that, even, she had refused
to deny this connection, to reveal her
name, or acknowledge any other pur-
pose. She had used me to further her
ends, whatever they might be, prey
ing upon my personal interest in her

defended at his mercy. Guilty or not
guilty, my inclination was to protect
her to the last. Besides l was eager
to obtain the information he claimed
to possess; indeed, all progress on the
case was blocked until I did obtain it.
AS to his boast that he knew where
the stolen money was concealed, l
took little stock in that. Doubtless he
merely threw that in for good meas
ure. But the other looked reasonable
enough; she had confessed being at
Perond's before; Pierre was fully as
likely to recall her to memory as he
was to remember DAILY, and Harris
could never have made so shrewd q
guess, unless he had really been told
the facts. Another thing gave me cour-
age to go to Costigan's. 1 was still
accepted by these people as Harry
DAILY, crook I would undoubtedly be
so received, 80 treated. Under these
circumstances there could be no per-
sonal danger; 1 held the whip-hand,
the advantage-Harris was only en-
deavoring to see what he could get
out of me; he had abandoned force
to resort to diplomacy.
"All right" 1 said. "Ill run over
there; If you want to play fair, I'll
meet you half way"
"Oh, I'm on the square, old man.,
and I've got some good DOPE" he in
sisted. "Tll blow it when you show
up."
1 returned the receiver to the hook,
uncertain whether or not I had de-
cided rightly, yet determined to carry
out the experiment. Above all else
wanted to learn who Marie Gessler
was. Nothing else mattered so much,
for on this discovery all else. hinged.
If violence, or treachery, was intended,
would be found prepared, and well
able to defend myself.
The neighborhood into which I was
venturing induced me to take taxi,
and, within ten minutes, was de-
posted at the door Of the saloon. I
pressed open the swinging door, and
stepped into the brilliantly lighted bar
room.
Costigan was behind the bar, but,
at sight Of me, rounded the end, and
shook hands cordially, removing his
apron, and slipping into coat, in
token that he had changed his occupa-
ton.
"Better call Charlie" he said to a
man beside him, 'for I'll be off for an
hour or so. You came to see George?"
Eyes; he telephoned me-"
"Said he was goin' to. He's waitin'
in the Office there. I'll 60 along with
you"
He pushed a passage through the
crowd, his breadth of body according
me ample room in which to follow
without being obstructed, and opened
the closed door with a pass-key. To
a wave Of his big hand I passed con-
fdently past him, and entered. The
next instant he had pressed me for
ward, came in also, and closed the
door; the sharp click of the lock
sounded like the report of a pistol.
One startled glance at the interior
told me I was trapped, and the swift
instinct of defense led me to step
aside, so that I should have my back
to the wall. Harris sat in the swivel
chair, with feet elevated on the desk,
sardonically grinning at me over a
half-ch:wed cigar tilted between his
teeth. A white rag was bound round
his head, through which a few slrops

of blood had oozed, leaving a dark
stain. Leaning against the wall op-
posite was Waldron, one eye half
closed, and his lip split, giving to his
face a look of savage brutality, rem
dered peculiarly sinister by a grim
effort to smile. COstigan remained
motionless, with back against the door,
as though thus barring all possibility
of escape. I had walked into their
trap. and the jaws had closed
The grin on Harris face maddened
me. "Well," l said coldly, 1T was a
stall, was it? What is the idea"
He laughed, without changing his
attitude.
"This happens to be our turn to
play, DAILY" he returned, apparently
well satisfied with his smartness.
"Then you have nothing to tell me?'
"Oh, yes. have; I've got a HI OF

 SEATTLE. Oct. 20-A sheriff's cir cular. mailed from Seattle more than year ago and which found it's way to far off Dalmatia, Austria, may be instrumental in bringing an accused man from Austria to Seattle to face trial according to Sheriff Matt Star. wich
 Sheriff Starwich was advised re- cently that George Rasovich, wanted here for the alleged staying of Peter Chalovich at Black Diamond. Wash eighteen months ago, had been ar rested at Castel Novi, Dalmatia, and was being held pending action by American authorities.

 Chalovich was shot from ambush April i. 1920. as he @ds coming down a lonely trail from his work in a Black Diamond coal mine. In an ante-morten statement he accused Rasovich of the shooting.

Crops a Total Loss

The property and crop damage in this section S total and will run into the millions. No loss of life has been reported. although searching parties are at work. Relief corps also have been formed to take care of homeless tenants, many of whom are unable to feed themselves. At Bastrop in Brazos county, while no lives are known to have been lost, the Colorado river went over her banks last night and did great crop dam age. Definite estimates canont yet be made, as reports have not come in from the affected areas. Known loss already is thousands Of dollars.
 The BraZos is rising at Hampstead, but has not yet reached flood stage. The Colorado is rising at Wharton and residents of the lowlands have fled to the high spots The river has not yet left it's banks, but is expect ed to overflow tonight. At Hearne the Brazos and Little rivers now are falling, but untold damage is left in the foods wake. Six negroes are known to be dead Live stock, ten ant houses and railroad beds through out the section were washed away, and loss closely approaches S1,000,- 900.
