Hut David can make a mira culous escape. Nobody could pill anything on him then. And lie's ou lop ot the world with every cent of Gordon's forlune!" "Well I'll be darned!" said Nut weakly.

Tyler motioned him to keep si lent, touched Hulli's arm, gently. "Kuth he suid, "never mind him. We know about hlni. Try to get through to the others! Try to get the name.'"

The girl uodded, drew the bow over the strings. She be gan to play, not softly, as she had done, but a tempestuous tune, pas sionate. Intense. She hesitated, faltered, almost stopped. Her fath er leaned closo to her. She con tinued with obvious effort. Then sho was playing mere easily. The music swelled, tttia drew the bow sharply across tho strings, held It for a moment, dropped the bow. Her face lighted up. "The nume!" she said. "Tbe name!" The two men stared at her word lessly. She dropped the violin to her side. When she spoke. It was very quietly: "The name Is Jim Gabriel." Tyler gave an exclamation, plunged his liand Into bis pocket, drew out a folded sheet of paper, stared at It. "Jim Gabriel!" said Nat. "Ever hear of hi in?" Tyler glanced up from the paper. "1 have," he said. "He was one of half a dozen men Commissioner Kflrane nuiued to Gordon and me at headquurturB the other day, a known racketeer the police have never been able to pin anything on. Got a pencil, Nat?" Nat ptuduced a stub of a pencil, and Tyler Bat down before a table, began to make marks with the pen cil on tbe unfolded sheet of paper In bis hand. Nat took Kuth's vio lin and pushed forward a chair for her. Her face was turned toward ber father. Tyler scribbled busily for a mo ment or two, once or twice using the eraser. Nat watched him cu riously. Then Tyler chuckled, rose, holding out the paper. Nat took It. It was Helene's note. His eyes went lo lis second para graph: "Just imagine . . . My God . . , and bring ransom Immediately . , . & enough! . . . love." Through the first letter of each word, omitting only the symbol St Tyler had drawn a line. Nat looked up, puzzled. Tyler grinned. "1 was sure there was something In that note!" be said. "Thought the girl was trying to communi cate. That's why I Insisted on Kuth making the try today. Don't you see It now?" Nat shook his head. "Lord, but we were s'upid," said Tyler. "It's as simple as A-IJ-C." Nat stared at the note again, at the letters crossed with peucil lines. "J," be said, ", M " He slopped. "Jim!" he cried. "Jim Gabriel," said Tyler. "Take the firHt letter of each word In that peculiar paragraph, leaving out only the symbol & and you spell Jim Gabriel." "Then that confirms It absolute ly!" Nat cried. "Gabriel's our man. . . . And Gabriel must be Gaudio." "KiMht," said Tyler grimly. "And another thing, my boy; If Helene was clever enough to try to get ;hat message through, It means that she must be quite normal." "O course!" Nat suid. Tyler went quickly to the tele phone. He paused before lifting the receiver. "Nat," he said, "we've got to take this In our own hands. Gor don's In a frightful state. He'll be scared to death for bis family. We've got to strike through Kil lane before Gordon knows what It's all about." Nat nodded, and Tyler lifted tbe receiver. "Spring 7-3100," he aid. "I'm going to be in on this!" said Nat determinedly. Tyler smiled. "Hello,," he said. "Commissioner Kllranv, please. Personal call, Dan Tyler on tbe wire." He turned his eyes on Nat. "All right, son," he said. "We'll both be In at the death." ' No, no!" Ruth gasped. Tyler began to speak Into the phone, Ignoring her protest. Brief ly he told Kilrane the facts. K li ra ne was grimly congratulatory. "I've wanted t9 get that rat for years," he said. "I'll send out a confidential message. We'll pick up his trail, I'll phone you the minute we strike the scent," As Tyler turned away from the phone, Ruth roBe, ber look plead ing. "Father," she begged, "you and Nat you're1 all I havu! You mustn't " Tyler took her In his arms. "Thera, there, honey!" he said. "We'll be in no real danger." between them, Tyler and Nat finally calmed her, reassured her, got her to lie dowu and rest. They went downstairs then, tried to compose themselves to wait. It was hard to do. Twice Gordon came to the cottage. He was like a man in a nightmare. . . . The hours dragged slowly.
