 Lyons flashed me a glance which might have been either adIniring or questioning.
 | 'It sure does" he said. But at all events, we gotta call him suthin. so 1 it might as well be Slim Darrow for ma'arn, as I were sayin', and tells me ho whe's got his eye on a fine prop osition which might net me a tidy sum if I'd help him. I asks cautiously until I've proved I'm safe by gettin' in on it myself, so if they're caught, I'm caught, too. And what do you think were the very first move we promised? 9" '-
 What was it?" I gasped, almost knowing before Lyons replied. 'It were to have my car settin' out In front of the gates of DreamWoid letady for to carry a guy off to safety on the double quick if he comes a running. I hadn't never saw the guy before, but I gets a good luck at him | when I'm driving him to the train af- ter MT. Neal chases him out of the place. And he's a chap which looks 1 a cut above this breakin' and eniterin' stuff that's been about Sims speed up to now.''
 What did he look Hke?" I asked. 1 holding my voice under control. He were a big chap-tall and In dian lookin. He's, got a long face, pasty for all it's bronze on top. And his nose and teeth is long," Lyons, did you notice anything l rF111ey nIN I,i Icr ,JoI He has a mouth any one would notice, ma'am, dark-colored like them maroon cars, and twistin' to one side so it presses against his teeth for all they are whopper-jawed, too.'

Though how they're going to do that I can't get out of them without seeming to blooming suspicious as to queer the whole same, and having them go to it on their etvn without me-
 Then that night out at Dreamwold they were spying on me?" asked.
 Surest thing going. ma'am. That's what they were doing"
 And you let them 9" asked re- proachfully.
 How could I help 1t. ma'am, with out having them chuck me out, maybe frame up a new deal with another guy that ain't got your interests at heart, like I have, beggin' your pardon for making so familiar. nla'an."
 That's right" I said. How could you? But Lyons. don't you know that if you served your fu1i time for all ur-mistakes-and are leading an honest life nov; they can't put you
 They can't ma'ami That's heav- ems own truth!'' cried Lyons. "But up to meeting you never held a job. Some one always peached on me-"
 '"TheE, Lyons-for Bertha's sake you want to remember ttis-as long as you have honest employment you are safe''
 This time the shrewd appraisal in Lyons's glance was unnnistakabIe
 And I can keep honest employ ment as long as I keep you thinkin' I m worthy Of it. We'll, ma'an, if gratitude didn't put me on you, side. that would do 1t. Now shall I go, on with what happened after that night at Dreamwold ?''
 Go on,' I replied.
 After this man with the 1op-sided mouth, calling himself Richards took train to the city, Darrow come back to watch the place Wanted to time l let him, for the sake of what I could get out of him when I had him alone.

Rich ards-begging your pardon, na'am, you said West-wants to tie you up here sos you can't go near your hus- pand and so you won't know which way to move or who's friend or foe. The idea is to bleed you for money and to keep a watch on you-though, as said before, I can't make out how theyM do that''
 "I think I know" I said, smiling grtnly. ''Go on, please"
 Now, ain't able to tie everything up-but I think this chap you call West needs lot of watching. He's got a plan to steal the records in your 1noreWhe's the one that i'''Mn1s done for your brother. And there'e one more thing I got out of this Darrow. He Hylan was up North.

 "Oh. Lyons, Lyons!" cried "Whv didn't you tell me sooner?"
 I couldn't ma'ana. I been nnill<in' them of information drop at a time And was stallin' around to find out cessfully. I'm terribly worried about that, ma'am- But I couldn't get a thing'
 I smiled wistful1y and brushed my hand over hot, aching eyes. It was clear enough who was spying on me and trying to bleed me of money" Il couldn't tell Lyons-I had to do everything in my power to keep Ly- ons from suspecting that Dick Vests spy IS the man call Dad Lee.'
