"What's thatr "Scene ot ui trying Irantlcally to trace the telephone call." Colls ihook his head. "I wouldn't do that In a story," he aid. "Granting the, Mask even a modest degree ot Intelligence, and I rank him tar ahove that. It would be obviously useless. The call came from tome place like the Grand Central where there are a number ot publlo boothi not from a drug store where there If only a single booth and where he might have been noticed and a desoristlon ot him obtained." "Check I" grinned Deteotlve Ser geant Murray. "Fair enough.! Well, what did he say?" "Ha complained about my Inti macy with you," replied Colin dryly. "Re said the reason he ehot me waa due to the possibility that Reddy might have given me some Inside Information which I In turn would hand over to the polios, but that the police work on the caee had been so ridiculous that he waa convinced I knew nothing that would be ot any value to you." "m remember that when I get my hands on html" mapped Ser geant Mulvey. "What else?" "He said I had nothing mora to tear from him providing I did not meddle, but that otherwise I would not live twenty-four hours. He sug gested that Instead of spending my time with you I go away somewhere tor my health." "Anything more!" : Colin smiled a little provocatively. "Only a personal fling at you," he aid. "He seems to be keeping pret ty olose tabs on what la going on. He knew you were here tonight, and he knew where we were and what we were doing this afternoon. He said that even Detective Sergeant Mulvey might have known he had never had his pioture taken Colonel Hargreaves." 1 SERGEANT MDLVET, pricked, hit riotously on the stub ot his el gar. "Oh, yeahr he drawled. "Well, rve known of an Identification or two being pulled off that way with less to go on. But forget that! So he warned you to lay off, did hot" Colin nodded. "Well, that's one point on which I agree with him," announced Ser geant Mulvey decisively. "From to night you're through. This la a po lloe job." "Reddy aald It wasn't." "Yes and you know what hap pened to Reddy! Well, It's not going to happen to you If I can help It. Look here, I know how you feel about both Reddy and the sister you knew as a kid, to say nothing ot anything on your own account, and that you'd let everything go to hell, yourself Included, to get the bird that did It "But there Isn't anything more you can do. You've done all you can. You've told us all yon know. You're out ot the picture from now on. It ain't going to be healthy for you to hobnob around with me and you're not going to get a chance to, any way, until this case Is cleaned up. "Whatever I think of this Mask wine, I'm not kidding myself on one point He's a killer. You get away from hers take a good long trip." "n TJX away, you meant" Inquired Colin thinly. 'Run away nothing!" snorted Ser geant Mulvey. "It ain't si though you were shirking snythlng by go ing, or could accomplish anything by staying. And, besides everything else, yon need a change, and you need It bad. Yon alnt fit by a long way yet" Colin was silent tor a moment "It's human nature," be said THE GRANGE Bellvtew Orange.

Don't weaken, bo! Where were you thinking of going?" Colin was thinking ot a eurtaln pole. "I haven't the faintest Idea," lie said. 'Well, no matter," said Detective Sergeant Mulvey. "Go somewhere! I've got to go home." He picked np his hat "That's a go, eh?" Colin walked with the other to the door. . "Well, perhaps," he said. "Nix on the 'perhaps' stuff! shot back Detective Sergeant Mulvey. "I'll run you out of town myself, K I have to!" ' Colin laughed. "We'll see." he said. "You're a good scout Tim. Good-night" . "So are you but don't play ttt fooll" returned Beigeant Mulvey. "Good-night" Colin olosed the doos, and, is crossing the room, pulled out one ot the lower drawers ot his desk, from which, hidden under a pile ot odds and ends, he produced a bunch of skeleton keys. He looked at his watch. It was twenty-seven mtantes past twelve. For a moment, his brows knitted, Colin stood there staring at the keys In his hand. Then, abruptly, he thrust them Into his pocket selected a soft felt hat from the stand, switched off the lights, opened the door, stepped out In the warm June night and locked the door behind him. And then for an instant he re mained motionless. (Copyright, list, Prank . faojetwd) Monday, Colin starts on a . Serous miMlon.
