“I toll you P m -tn officer. | ar-

Th# words were cut off abruptly by
a loud exclamation from Higgins and
a crash of glass Kirk Autbouy'a fsca
was drenched. his eyss wera filled with
a attnglng liquid, be felt bis prisoner
sink Limply back Into bis arm s and
beheld Higgins struggling In the grasp
of big M arty Rtugold. the foil covered
neck of a wine bottle In bis fingers.
The foolish fellow bad been hovering
uncertainly rouud the edges of the
crowd, longing to help bis friends and
cramlly anxious to win glory by some
deed of valor.
“I’ve got him!” be cried Joyously
“He's outP’
“Higgins!” Anthony exclaimed aharp-
ly. “W hat the deTtl"— Then the dead
weight In his arm s sobered him like a
deluge of Ice water.
“Tou’ve done It this tim e.” he taut
tered
“Good God!” Locke cried. “Let's get
aw ay! He’s hurt!"
“Here, you!" Anthony shot a com
mand at the speaker that checked him
half way acrusa the room. ’‘Rlngold,

signaled a passing waiter. A moment
later the proprietor knocked and Kin
gold adm itted him.
“W hat the”— Padden started a t
sight of the motionless figure on the
floor and. kneeling beside I t made a
quick exam ination, while Anthony ex­
plained the circum stances leading up
to the assau lt
“Thief, eh? I see.”
“Is be badly hurt?" queried Locke,
bending a pale face upon them.
“Hub! I guess he’s due for the hos­
pital," the owner of the A ustrian Vil­
lage announced. “ He bad his nerve,
trying to turn a trick In my place. 1
thought 1 knew all the dips, but he's
a stranger.” With nimble fingers be
ran through the fellow’s pockets, then
continued:
“I'm glad you got him. but you’d bet­
ter get together and rehearse before
the police"— He stopped abruptly once
more, then looked up curiously.
“W hat Is It?” questioned the man
from Missouri.
Padden pointed silently to the lapel
of the fellow’s vest, which he had
turned back. A nickeled badge was
pinned upon It “H e's no thief; he’s
a detective—a plain clothes man!”
The crowd looked nonplused, with
the exception of Jefferson Locke, who
became calm er than at any tim e since
the w aiter had first whispered Into his
ear.
“We didn’t know who he was." be
began hurriedly. “You must square It
for ns. Padden I don't care what It
costa." He extended a bulky roll of
banknotes tow-.rd the gray haired
man “These boys can’t stand this
sort of thing and neither can L I’ve
got to sail at 10 o’clock this morning."
“Looks to me like you’ve croaked
him.” said the proprietor, ignoring the
proffered money.
"It’s worth $1,000 to me not to miss
my b o a t”
“W alt a minute.” Padden emptied
the unconscious man's pockets, among
other things of some telegram s and a
legally folded paper. The latter be
opened and scanned sw iftly, then turn ­
ed his little eyee upon Locke without s
word, whereupon that gentlem an, with
equal silence, took from his Inside
pocket a wallet and selected a bill, the
denomination of which be displayed to
the proprietor before folding It Inside
the bundle be beld.
“Here! It may cost you something.”

you’ll hav# to keep your traps closed,

“Will be die?” asked Rlngold fearful­
ly, his back still against the door.
“Not a chance. But If he does he’ll
never know who hit him. Yon see. we
picked him up In the alley and brought
him In." Padden winked meaningly.
“It happens light along In this part of
town.”
"You chaps have done me a big fa­
vor ton ig h t” said Locke a little later,
when be and bis companions were safe­
ly out of the A ustrian Village, “and I
won’t forget It either. Now, let’s fin­

“Mine too.” assented Locke. “T hat’s

the young men long to loee ail clear
and vivid remembrance of this recent
experience, for the tim e bad coma
