came in. Hugh recognized him at once
as Valance Eestor, an author Of great
brilliance-in his own eyes-who had
lately devoted himself to the advance
ment Of revolutionary labor.
"Good afternoon" murmured Drum

The other nodded and sat down Ian

effort In the Mldlands?s he asked,
drawing off his gloves.
"Quite wonderful" said Hugh. "a
marvellous help to the great cause"
Valance Nestor yawned slightly and
closed his eyes, only to open them
again as Hugh turned the pages Of the
ledger on the table.

'This Is the book" replied Drum

Together they strolled back to their

And once again Hugh smiled, ms he
drew from hts pocket the piece of pa

"Only au revolr, my friend; only on

He glanced at the words written In
Peterson's neat writing, ana the smile
broadened. Assuredly life was still
good; assuredly.
And into an ash tray nearby he
dropped a piece Of paper torn into a
hundred tiny fragments.
"Was that love-letter?" she de-

lie pressed the studs in the niche
of the wall, ard the door of the bic
safe swung open slowly. With o
scream of terror the girl sank half
fainting on the floor. and even Peter

his nervous lips. For, hung from the
ceiling by two ropes attached to his
arms, was the dead body of Henry
Lexington. And even as they watched
1t, 1t sagged lower, ard one of the
feet hit sullenly against a beautiful
old gold vase.
"My Godr" muttered Peterson. "Did
you murder him?'
"Oh, mol" answered DruInnIond,
HE inadvertently fell in the bath he
got ready for me, and then when he
ran up the stairs in considerable pain,

"Shut the door," screamed the girl;

She covered her face with her
hands, shudderlng, while the door
slowly swung to again.

fully, "it should be an Interesting
trial. / shall have such a lot to tell
them about the little entertainments
here, and all your endearing ways"
With the big ledger under his arm
he crossed the room and called to
some men who were standing outside
in the hall; and as the detectives,
thoughtfully supplied by Mr.. Green,
entered the central room, he glanced
for the last time at Carl Peterson and
his daughter. Never had the cigar
glowed more evenly between the mas
ter-criminal's lips; never had the girl
lrma selected a cigarette from hei
gold and tortoise-shell case with more
supreme indifference.
"Good-by, my ugly one" she cried
with charming smile, as two Of the
men stepped up to her.
"Good-by," Hugh bowed, and tingt
of regret showed for moment In bis
eyes.
"Not good-by, Irma," Carl Peterson
removed his cigar, and stared a
Drummond steadily. "Only au revoir

"Why, that all that awful night

"They may be sent right enough,

For a willie they were silent, occu-

such trifles as Peterson and his daugh-

slowly.
NJ II see no other course open to me-"
replied Drummond.
The sudden opening OF the door
made both men look round. Then
Drummond bowed, to conceal a smile.
"Just in time, Miss rma."
The girl swept past him and con-
fronted Peterson.
"what has happened" she painted.
'sThe garden is full of people whom
I'VE never seen. And there were two

''It would be an outrage to let the

fiercely, "The man darlington you say
