He strobe from the office and out
of the Criminal Courts Building, en-

"Why hadn't the Gray Ghost gone
down fighting?"
He nut the question to Jerry Tyron,
later on that evening. Jerry laughed
Mt him. "All crooks are rats de-
clared Jerry.
Rats fight when cornered," OBJ
jected Pelham.
Not human rats" argued Jerry.
Pelham shrugged. "What do we
do?" he asked.
Jerry looked at his young-Old part
ner. There was an almost reverential
affection in the ex-policemanS blue
eyes. Also there were traces of worry
in them. Pelham did not look as fit
as the man who loved him liked TO
see him. At n time when he should
be jubilant. Pelham seemed depressed
and nervous.
The thing for you to do is to go

left to do is TO mop IN the debrf
and we won't need you at all. You've
been under n terrific strain for months
and tonight's the night when you be-
gin long vacation"
Pelham's thin lips curled family
in n smile. He brushed his nervous,
muscular hand over his high fore
head.
"What's the idea, Mr.. Tyron. of
the bulge over your right hip?"
Jerry's rudy features took on a
deeper blush. "Well, there might be
a little trouble"

longer upon this painful disintegra-
ton of character.

say.

Gray Ghost.

But Jerry Tryon answered the Ques-
ton. I'm Westchester, about ten
miles north Of White Plains" he
cried you're kidding u.s."
"Why should l do that?" countered
Ballantyne.
There are no storage warehouses

asserted Jerry. Imagination had never

Something of the old spirit sounded

to have taken on flesh. But as ne
