Apparently it was quite usual for
the Squad to be called to buildings
where suspected burglars were. They
moved with the celebrity of fire en-
gine and were as alert.
Inspector Gorton waited until Mar
garet had left the building, and then
he raped again on the panel.
"Open this door, my son."
The bolt was slipped back, the door
flung open. The Inspector saw a man
with grimy face and disordered cloth
ing standing in the doorway, and in
stantly he was seized. -
Luke was taken aback. He had ex-.
pected an opportunity of parleying,
even of taking the detective into his
confidence. Resenting the sudden

was flung violently to the floor. Some
body passed their hands scientifically
behind his coat.

The pistol was passed to Inspector
Gorton.

II dare say you cam Gorton
snapped back the jacket of the auto
matte and detached the magazine.
"Loaded-you'll get ten stretch for
this, my lad. Fan him, one of you:
he may have another"
In two minutes Luke was searched
and everything was taken from him:
Where did you get this money!"
asked the inspector.
"It was given to me-" began I1,::,as..
and there was a roar of laughter.
"What is .this?" said Gorton, ex-
amining something in his hand.
That morning, before he had left CT
his fatal expedition, Mrs. Fraser lad
handed him little blue-covered BECK.
"A driving license, chi? You weren':
by any chance driving a car to-day
around about Bond Street, were you?"
Luke's heart sank within him. And
then he heard one Of the detectives
say:
"That's the fel1owl He had beard
this afternoon. l saw him driving
with a woman in the park
He whispered something to Gorton
and the inspector nodded. All the
time Luke was thinking rapidly. That
simple explanation of his was no
longer possible. If he declared him
self to be Luke Madison, he must
also explain what he had been doing
since he disappeared. The realization
of that came with shocking emphasis.
And he knew that below, Margaret
was waiting and would recognize him
instantly in spite of his mustache.
Ahead of him was the open door
leading to the hall. To the right the
little room he had used as dressing
room. The window was right above
the first landing of the fire escape.
Luke had a horror of fires, and it was
his favorite amusement to plan out
how he would escape from burning
building. If he could get to that room.
+. 1t did not seem possible.
Somebody spoke from the landing
outside 1t was the hall porter, who
had called to discover what the COM
motion was about. The two detectives
who were guarding the door turned
their backs for moment, and in that
instant Luke Madison leaped. He
was something of an athlete; had
played for his fifteen at college, and
had nothing to learn about the art Of
avoiding tackle. He dashed through
the door of the dressing room, banged
it tight, and shot in the bolt as the
weight of two men was flung against
it.
This was no moment for caution.
He flung up the window and his legs
went out almost in the same motion.
In another second he dropped into the
darkness. He had calculated we'll.
The steel platform of the fire escape
changed under his feet. In another in
slant he was flying down the steps and
was over the wall before the first of
the detectives reached the head of the
escape.
A man was lounging in the news 3:
he turned witt, a shout as Luke
dropped. But Luke was off like the
wind. His long stay in the hospital
had thrown him out of condition, but
he had all the technique of a runner.
AS he emerged from the narrow en-
trance of the news he saw cab pass
ing, and leapcd on the running board.

"You can wait outside ifISyour car,

Well, there is a possibility that the
man who called up intended burgling
the flat, and we want to be on the safe
side" -
She went upstairs and finished
dressing, putting on a ralncoat, and
accompanied the policeman into the
street. A car was drawn up, with
two or three men sitting in the back,
and she was invited to take her place
by the side of the driver.
They came very quickly to the en-
trance of Lulle's flat.
mo, no, I'll come up with you," she
said. "I've only been in it twice, but
I'll probably be able to help you find

suddenly he shifted

said.
Again Gorton nodded. Evidently he
expected to hear this.

She pointed. A key was already IN

turned the handle. The door did not

the words and gasped. His wife was

With her heart beating little

stairs. When she reached the street
she found that the driver of the police
car had summoned a taxi, which was
drawn up behind the tender.

1880, about hundred years ago.

Strangers were few in those days and all came
INTO the kitchen to look him over and see what he
had to say At the proper moment he turned his
conversations to stones, as among the strange
things he had seen in his wanderings. He told of
soup stone which he had picked up somewhere,
COntldlng that he had it with him. and intimating
that ne would be glad TO show it if any one were
interested. All were. He unwrapped his package
and showed it to the astonished family. 1t was a
small round stone weighing about five pounds.
