Joe Barry snapped rejoinder and
went on He reached the door of his
room, and paving deep into his pocket
for his personal key, sent 1t into the
lock. The door yielded. faint v OF
light went into the room from the
gas Jet IN the hall. Joe Barry halted,
his lower jaw loose in surprise. On
the floor before him lay something
metallic, something which had been
| pushed under the door, Then he sat
on the bed and laughed.
| It had been a joke! 1t had been a
joke, that's ADJUST somebody play
Ing a Joke on him. They'd slipped
up here during the day and returned
that pass-key he had given Martin, by
slipping 1t under the door. But as
suddenly he sobered Nobody would
give fellow thousand dollars for
joke! He looked at the pass key !:
suddenly he went to the gas Jet and
struck match. Illuminating the room.
He searched the floor for note.
There was nothing. He jerkcd out his
cheap watch. suddenly ticking with
clocklike resonance. Five minutes to
ten.
i won't give him any leeway.' Joe
had slumped to the bed again, the
pass-key still In his right hand. Again
he studied It. Why had they slipped
that under the door? Just come up
here and slipped the thing under the
door
A minute passed; Joe confirmed 1t
by looking at his watch. Then he be-
gan to count, one, two, three, four,
five-he wondered how much a person
would have to count before 1t all made
a minute. He remembered how the
old photographer back In Waverly
'ised to count for time exposures, one
thousand and one, one thousand and
two. one thousand and three
He started and listened. The stairs
creaked. AS If some one were NOV

men, staring quietly at him. One

You're Joe Barry" he said, more
as statement than as question.
Joe could not answer. Two OF the
men lodged swiftly behind him.

coldly monotonous voice. Better not

mustn't forget to keep quiet about

CHAPTER III

Instantly hands began to paw about
| Joe Barry, pushing his arms awkward
| ~ half upward as they rubbed hard
beneath his armpits, as swiftly to 70
downward, to his coat pockets, his
belt, even to the knees OF his trousers.
All the while the other two men
merely stood there. hands In coat
pockets. their eyes set on his eyes,
like boxer watching an antagonist
for the telegraph or coming blow.
Then the voice came again.
We'll, kid. all Tossed out In new
fiddle and f1utei"
The direct address seemed to Jerk
Joe Barry from his numbness. For
the first time he truly saw the men
before him. clean-shaven, well-dressed
persons. like business men. One held
Joe's attention. he was tall, almost
genial-appearing person OF about fifty.
There was a hint Of the Irish In his
blue eyes, sharp, penetrating, some
how kind. yet impersonal. Joe did not
define the words In his mind-every-
thing was too blurred. He looked
about him wildly.
i don't see what you're doing all
this for. I'm not guilty Of anything
He twisted In his excitement. A de-
tective Jerked him back to immova-
bility.
Don't throw fit about It."
But you're going to accuse me Of
things didn't do. was going down
and explain everything"
"Oh. there's something to explainr
Well, we'll ride you down and save
you the walk. That's service isn't itY
Then over Joe's shoulder. How
about itY'
Feels clean,' said a detective from
behind. A hand rammed into Joe's
right trousers pocket, then poked
Itself forward under his arm, display
ing wadded fistful OF currency,
Lousy with the soft. Better cufr
him?r
"Yeh." The voice seemed to have
something OF authority. "Give him a
pair OF 'em. Jake, you and Jerry take
a ring apiece"
Joe began to protest again; then
his voice ceased with the dumb won
derment OF why they should Jerk his
arms down like that, and why man
on each side should clamp cold, vet
burning handcur on him, each fasten.

Pete Maxwell turned from a survey
of the washstand drawer.
"Yeah?" he asked and going beside
| the other man, knelt for a moment
The detective at Joe's right grunted.
Something hot?" he queried Of the
two men at the bureau. Pete raised.

he cried
Ed shrugged his shoulders.
"Ihen why get so excited? Maybe
they're marshmallows or cream

Joe twisted against the hot clasp
of wrist-steel.

been put In here to get me In trouble"
word came to his lips, one he had
been searching for. "All this has been
framed up. I've been framed

"Oh Cd" said Jerry In tired
voice. Pull something new"
Swiftly the two men at the bureau
went through the other drawers, ap-
parently finding nothing Then Pete
rose and jerked loose the string which

 Mrs Edward F. Wellman, board chairman, ordered the names stricken from the lists in accord ance with a state statute providing that such action be taken against persons receiving public aid with in 90 days of an election.
 Herbert E. Holmes, city corpora tion counsel and also democratic candidate for state senator, protest ed vigorously, and dispatched a telegram and letter of complaint to President Hoover.
 Holmes pointed out that other Maine cities had not invoked the statute. He charged that 1t was in- humane to apply 1t under present conditions, and asserted that the registration board, predominantly republican, was motivated by poli- tical considerations. The jobless deprived of their votes would most likely vote the democratic ticket, Holmes alleged.
 The superior court decided against Holmes in Q test case he brought in connection with the dis franchisement of Patrick Cody. Holmes had argued that Cody. in return for city aid, had done what ever city work could be secured for him.
 Mrs Wellman said today that the boards action was perfectly legal.
