'Another voice came on the
phono, suddenly, tense, vibrant, a
girl's voice.

out! Some one Is about to fire!"
Gordon, In a swift reflex mo

bed. Then, simultaneously, there
was a spurt of Maine, and the
crash of a pistol-shot.
Kuih. on the other end of the
wire, turned u whito face toward
her father.
"It's huppened," she said dully.
Gordon's eyelids flickered. He

Carlotta smiled, then, tenderly
and brushed her lips against his
bead where it throbbed. "Uarllng,"
she breathed, "you are all right.'"
"I I don't know," said Gordon
shakily. "My head"
Then he saw the others grouped

Iorls, while-faced hut controlled;
Johnson the seivant; Nelson the
squat, broad-shouldered Swede In

closer and bent over htm.
"You must have struck your
head on the edge of that table,"
David said. He indicated an over
turned table beBlde the bed. It i
was the heavy, square bed bide ta

stood. The broken lamp lay beside
it.
"But there there was a shot,"
Gordon said, his mind cleuriug. Ilo

farlotta's hands, glunciug quickly,
at Nelson. "Nelson!" he suid. "You
caught the fellow?"
Nelson shook his head, puzzled.
"None of the boys saw a soul,",

"The phone," he said harshly.
"The phone. Was It off the hook?"
"Why I don't know," said Da

you notice, Johnson?"
"Yes sir," said Johnson. "It was
