stood as the bulwark of defense of the integrity of the na

that?"
"I took her advice and bought the
stocks she recommended. She knows
Vincent Rowland so well she
ought to '.save straight tips. But X
eouldnt llamo her. It was my
money and I spent it."
Colt nodded sombrely.
"Do you bear Miss Carewo any
resentment fdr that?"
"None whatever!"
Thanks, Mr. Everett Hold your
self in ratdiness X may call you

report; the pent-house search
waa' now completed. The captain
led the way to the kitchen where
on the' table was piled the treasure
trove. But in all their search, they

respondence and miscellany which
meant that our men would spend
many hours in a study of their
contents.
But at the moment, none of these
documents seemed as important as
one note, found among the effects
of Eunice Jamea, the maid. It was
a card, belonging to Guy Everett,
and penciled on the back was the .
phone number of the Axton Club.

waa not hard to drag from her the

had a secnt admiration for Guy
