Its place waa among other trophies of his in a glass-topped table cabinet which stood behind the desk and against the north wall near the windows. So far as I could eoe there were no flngorprlnts on the glass. - , - I wont back to Andrew, ."Tell your boss ol' Ing my chock on the desk I could sec. into his face without lifting his hoed. I had known Andrew as a man endowed with a flno collection of 'the "clvlo vlrtuos." I mean that ho was conscientious and omlnontly respectable, restrained and Judicial and successful, a pillar of the church and a member of tho cham ber .oC.cojnmerco. , . ', But from tlmo to time I had felt that this conventional being wasn't the real Andrew Ogdon; that bo hlpd lt llvod and longed. an nuda clous personality ho had novor ro vealod to mo but which, somehow, I.thad sensed and loved. Hubbard camo In just then. - "I didn't soe Stlmson around, sir." -. , ' ' ' ' , "Nevor mind. Ho'll lurn up." I , thought for a moment. "Has Mr. Ogdon had uny visitors latoly, Hub bard? Strangers, I mean." . "Why, yes, sir, he has. A man Mid a woman. And a queer-looking pair thoy wore. I was going to speak to you about thorn." "Queer looking!" I exclaimed. "Who woro they? Whon. did thoy come?" ' "I don't know the woman's name, sir. . Sho was horo three or four days ago. She didn't oomo to tho door. The mastor was in tho grpunds and lie met her coming up the drive. . They tulkoil for a mln uto'or t'o..',thcn ho brought her In hero. She must have stayed an hour.

Tho look of him gavo mo a turn when I oponed tho door. 1 al most shut tho door In his face. Ho was a littlo crab-applo of a chap, In overalls and a torn coat, and all stooped and puckered. Klghty, If ho was a day, a shock of hair as white as a clean napkin all over his head and neck, a stubble ot i'hlsker, a leathery skin llko an old brown shoe.

Ann it was on one end of a wire. Tho other end ot .tho wlro was fastoned to his shirt with a snfoty pin. , 1 ."'I'm loo-kln for Andry Ogdon,' ha shouted In a cackling, voice, ' . "I foil -sure tho master wouldn't want such a looking fellow In his house, so t said Mr. Ogden was out and i started to shut the door. "'No, ho ain't, tho old man shrilled at me. And before I could prevent him ho hopped Into the. hall, shook his fist in my lace, ana screamed: -, " Toll your boss ol' Kurle Is here!" ' ! "Luckily, Mr. Ogdon looked Into the hall Just then and asked him What he wanted. .." "A word with yo In private,' the old man cackled. ."And do you know, lr, after thlnktntr-a, - momont. Mr. Ogden brought him In hero. and shut the dpor! I was stunned.

"Hubbard," I resumed quietly, "did you chance to overhear uny of the conversation between Furie and Mr. Ogdon?" Hubbard flushed. "Well, sir, I did, but It was quite unintentional on my part. I was passing along the hall and I heard Mr. Ogden utter two words In angry tones. Ho shouted them and thoy quite star tled mo. I heard nothing elso, sir." I'urlo,ls here." , " '"What, wore those words, Hub baril?"' '' . ' ""Gold bullets,' sir." ' ' I started so violently, that . Hub bnrcr looked at me In surprise. It took mo a moment' to' rcassomblo my scattered wits.. Could it bo pos sible that tho Peterson revolver was in somo way connected with Eurlo's Interview with Ogdon? What n strango concurrence of events! First, Hyde's refusal to toll mo anything about tho rovolver: then, Andrew's telephone call, Jor ry's whlto-flnnnolod figure flying down tho diivo, Androw stabbed to death at tho tclcphono; and finally, this thing. Hubbard, had told mo. Woro these events links of a chain that ran back Into tho' limbo of Ogden's past? And Jorry?

My agony of heart bor came -unendurable. : A heavy pounding sounded at the front door. Hubbard hurried Into tlio hall.
