would not hesitate to lie about using
the car. For the moment Gramont
put away the circumstance, but did not
forget 1t.
He walked openly toward the Gum
berts buildings, thinking that he would
have time for a good look around the
place before dusk fell he would then
get off for Houma and attend to Ham,
mond's defense.
AS for the place before him, he was
convinced that 1t was abandoned. Had
any one, other than Chacherre and
his two friends, been about the build
lngs, the late excitement would have
brought out the fact No one had ap-
peared and the buildings seemed va
cant.
Gramont's intent was simple and
straightforward. In case he found, as
he expected to find, any evidence Of IL
legal occupation about the place-as
the sheriff seemed to have discovered
to his cost-he would lay Chacherre
and the other two men by the heels
that night in Houma. He would then
go on to New Orleans and have Gum
berts arrested, although he had no ex-
pectation that the master crook could
be held on the murder-accessory
charge. If this place were used for
the lotteries, even, he was fairly GER
tain that Memphis Izzy would have his
own tracks covered. The men higher
up always did.
He walked straight In upon the
barn. 1t doomed before him, closed,
lurid in the level rays Of the weSter-
ing sun. The doors in front had been
only loosely swung together and Ora
mont found them unlocked. He stood
in the opening. and surprise gripped
him. He was held motionless, gazing
with astonished wonder at the sight
confronting him.
Directly before him was a small
roadster, one which he remembered tC
have seen joachim Fell using; in this
car, doubtless, Ben Chacherre had
driven from the city. He recalled the
fact later, with poignant regret for 9
lost opportunity. But, at the present
moment, he was lost in amazement a.
the great number of other cars pre-
senting themselves to his view.
They were lined up as deep as tbs
barn would hold them. crammed int
every available foot of space; wei
over a dozen cars, he reckoned swiftly
What was more, all were cars Of thf
highest class, with the exception Of
Fell's roadster. Directly before hin
were two which he was well aware
must have cost close upon ten thou
sand each. What did this mean? Ger
tainly no one mar or one group Of men
in this back-country spot, could expec
to use such an accumulation of ex
pensive carsl

Miss Wright and Mrs. Staples use in

barium carbonate are left with all
the places baited for future refer
