"You must be guided by your higher selves. You, Simon; you, Gryde; you Manoel you. Family; you, Louie; you must each follow the counsel of your heart Olve me up to the police, and each of you be white enough to say. The game's up, and this Is where I get off . , . eh? "Not that you would get off, Simon, when I'd said my little say about one or two dozen small mat' ters in both England and America. Simon. Youd swing, Dr. Tneo dore Charters and you know what that feels like, Simon. "And what about you, Mr. James?" he continued. "Me? Self-defensel ..." "Ahl SeU-denfcnse . . . Giuseppe Fratelll. for example?" "He got another gun to his hand. under the counter," cried Mr. James. "He turned from the counter to get what you ordered, and you bravely shot him In the back." "The man ..." blustered Mr. James. "Yea. And the woman who ran screaming from the inner room? You faced her like a man, or rather a gunman, and shot her In the chest and face. The child that came after her? You shot that child of S3ven in self-defense too? . , . Children are rather a specialty of yours, aren't they, Oryde?" John Waye's eyes blazed as he added softly, "No, you won't get off. Gunman Gryde. . "And you, Manoel. Accessories -before and after fare badly In this country. The insurance racket was a nasty business at Santos. All obviously poisoned and with the same unknown drug, eh? And some bad sideslips in Balila, not to men tion Chicago. I think you'll get 'life,' Manoel, If you don t get death. "What would you give our Ma tron when they knew she was Mother Superior of "The Convent' of misavory memory? , . . When they found out that our Matron was Frisco Fanny herself, and heard some talcs I could prove." The Matron's pleasant face turned to a mask of evil and ferocity. "D'ye think yc'U live to get sate on to that schaffold?" she asked. "And Nurse Jones? Why, there'll be a pasUlve scramble for her, when they know she's Louie the Lady who worked on the outside. in her quiet nurses uniform, and brought more nuns to Fanny's 'con vent' tlian any ten of the men put together." Say, Boss," interrupted Nurse Jones. "This gink's certainly got to fall slrk." Then siddenly springing to her feet, she darted a hand towards John Waye's face. "Shcot him rljht now, Jimmy." she cried. "Silly impulsive glrll" chlded Waye. "No, your one hope Is to take the greatest care of me, and keep me in good humor." "And t!ie Innocent man?" again quoned ti e Doctor In a curiously quiet voice. "He'll sing." "Riuj the bell, Gryde," said John Waye. What for?" "Bccai'se I tell you to." Mr. Ju:ties did so. "When the maid, or whoever It Is. cams, lull her you want Dr. Studley," he continued, turning to Chart ets. "I don't want him," was the reply. "No, but I do." "Look here, Li this house yours or mine?" bluslcred tho Doctor. "Mine, practically," was the re ply . Tiie door opened and the Doctor's secretary cnt-jred. "Did you ring for me, Sir?" asked the givl. "Kiiuily a-ik Dr. Studley If he'd be ro.'1 nouf.h r. r.t; this way. If he has minute to spare," said Dr. Charters quietly. The pale girl retired. John Waye broke the tense silence. "So, on the whole, Doctor, per haps you'll ail decide to be deaf to conscience," he observed In a con versational bantering tone. "For you are a lying dog. Doctor," con tinued Mr. Ways pleasantly. "And you, Manoel, are a smaller, meaner, more cowardly hound. And as for Mr. James I think we'll call him a foul, obscene and cowardly hyena, and . . . ." Nurse Jones sprang to her feet. "Say, do you three call yourselves men to sit there and let that hi jacker. . . .?" There was a knock at the Inner door, an Instant silence fell as It opened and Dr. Studley entered. "You sent for me. Chief?" he said, glancing round. "Yes, Studley. Our wayward humorist, here, won't be happy un til you have joined the circle upon which he has intruded. Now Mr. Waye, we are busy people." "Good morning. Dr. Studly," said John Waye. "What I wanted to ask you, Is whether you consider me to be Insane In the ordinary lay sense of the word?" Dr. Studley glanced at the ex pressionless face of Dr. Charters. Since the Chief had sent for him. without other message, presumably it was his intention that this queer chap should be given a straightfor ward answer. "Most certainly not," he replied. "Would you say I was Insane In the technical souse of being of ab normal and unhealthly mind?" "X would not," was the Immediate reply. "Quite the contrary." "Thank you, Doctor. Do you re gard me as a perfectly healthy man, physically speaking one whom you'd recommend as a first-class life" to any Insurance Company?" "Undoubtedly," replied Dr. Stud ley. "And last but not least, Doctor, would It surprise you If I died sud denly . . . were found dead In my bed here, one morning?" (To be continued) PROOF OF MAN IN PRE-GLACIAL AGE Chicago, Wl The Field Museum has apparent proof that man lived previous to the first Rlaclal period Handiwork of the Pliocene man of a million years ago has been scooped out of a gravel deposit In England and placed in the muse um's hall of prehistoric man.
