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

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"

And I have now been threatened. As

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

"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.
