" CHAPTER IX At long Lieutenant CLearr Hid nothlnf. but Just sat ere quletlr watching the surge of conflicting emotion! playing upon Haul Lelghton'i face, he nalized there was a chance ahe would tell him what ha wanted to know what that letter wai all about "Who's Jed the man you were writing to?" O'Leary asked. "I'm going to marry him aome day, I hope. He's in Los Angeles now .". . waiting. You see, we wara going to nick old man Sayler tor a neat little piece of change. We figured on a nice, juicy breach of promise suit or a settlement a few months after marriage. "Neither plan worked out. Say 1st got wind of the scheme. He found letter from Jed . . . Just like you did. He pinned me down with it one day, and I got sore. I told him what I thought of htm and what I was going to do. "After I was through talking, ha Just laughed at me. He told ma ha had left his dictaphone running and that everything I had said was recorded. I would have killed him then, but I didn't have a gun. When I left him he said ha would ba happy to give me SJSOOO for the year's trouble I had taken." O'Leary had risen and was picking up his hat "Thank you, Ills Leigh ton. The sergeant and t will ba running along now. I'd adrise you to find aome other way to make money in the future . . . and dont leave town Just yet" j TJ7INSL0W MARDELL was Just leaving his hotel when the two detectives entered. He smiled; greeting and led them to a cor Bex of the deserted lobby. "Just going out to lunch. Will you gentlemen Join me?" "Thanks," said O'Leary. "Well Jutt keep you a second. Wa want to know how you happened to lose $35,000 to Martin Sayler." "Oh, Just one of those things," Harden said airily. "A little poker game. Sayler often rounded up a few cronies for a friendly esaion. Luck was against ma for few Bights, and I was running little short of ready cash, so I Just wrote aome L O. U.'s. Hope you're not worried about them?" "No," said O'Leary, "but I guess you were. You had no way of meeting them and Sayler wanted his money, didnt he?" Tve got money. -1 could have drawn some from the bank, but I figured rd let the I. 0. U.'s ride Igor a while and see If I couldn't, win aome of that dough back." 1 no lieutenant faced the man bluntly. "Look,Mardell. We know, tetter. Sayler wanted that money, 1 and you didnt have It That's why yon were over at his place aha other night Ha wanted to collect Fve had you checked pretty carefully. You're broke.' fives your hotel bill Is overdue."; MardeB. snarled, "I wasn't going to welch ... I never have yet", "You sever dared. If you can't gamble, you don't eat And Sayler was going to fix it so no Joint in, itowa would ever let you In again, i He was going to let it get around 'that you were a welch er. Isn't 'that right?" i Warden's lips twisted slightly at .the. earners. "Maybe," he ad mitted. "But it's too late now.' 'Mr. Sayler won't do any talking tsywhat now, GEORGE BARBOUR was sitting in his shirt sleeves on the sag-stone terrace before his com si odious Georgian house when the Officers swung their car into the driveway. His flabby cheeks looked ruddier and his graying hair had a silvery hue. He ap- i seared much more at ease than i ba had in the Bayier drawing room the night before. He rose to greet O'Leary and Carroll as they slid out of the ear. "Got4 day, gentlemen," he eald pleasantly. "And what can I do for you?" CLeery accepted the extended hand. "Just a few more details about that business last night Mr. Barbour." The pudgy man shook his head sadly. "Ah, yes. Poor Riggs. I never suspected. I frequently warned Martin about taking con victs into his home. Come inside, ! please; I'll get you a drink." i He motioned Carroll ahead, and Just as the sergeant waa about to grasp the hsndle of the screen door, the portal swung open. Sergeant Carroll leaped back tastinetively. "What the 1" Barbour chuckled. "Just a little device I rigged up, Sergeant You'll find lots of mysterious things happening around here. A nobby of mine." Carroll looked quizzical. "But now?" "Very simple. Photo-electric alls, often called electric eyes. Th light comes from that little glass disc you see set into the pillar here. The light ray is aimed at the cell on the other side you can see it in that other pillar. When you crossed the invisible! Una, Sergeant, you just broke the connection and set a little electric motor in action. That opened the door." Two mora doors responded sim ilarly Inside the house, but Car roll refused to lead the way. When they were finally settled in masculinely appointed living room and three tall, cool-looking drinks had been set before them, O'Leary and Carroll settled back In their chairs. "We found some papers in Say ler' safe last night, Mr. Barbour !- Jpers .about-, ypu.'. Beads of perspiration settled cn Barbour's face, and he said quiet ly, "So you found them?" "Yes. Didn't you expert us to?" "I suppose 1 did. You know all about It then? About the audit?" "Yes," O'Leary acknowledged. "Why did you take money out of the partnership? You did, didn't you?" "Yes, I took it" Barbour said bitterly. "1 deserved it Martin was getting wads of cash from his dirty business. I never got a cent of that . . . wouldn't have want ed it. But meanwhile he wasn't handling any of the legitimate practice. I was doing ail of It, but he was still getting his half of the profits, according to our partnership agreement So I final ly decided to take Justice into my own hands." O'Leary nodded sympathetical ly. "And Sayler suspected, so he called In the auditors." "That's right He was going to expose me, have me Jailed and disbarred unless I got out and promised new to practice law in this city again. He had me both 'ways. It would have ruined me completely. He wanted a definite answer last night" Carroll looked intensely inter ested. "Did he get it?" "He did I promised to quit Get out completely." THE police car ground to a furi ous stop before the gilt door way of the Hanford Arms Apart ments. The doorman nodded cor dially as the officers passed. O'Leary walked to the desk and asked the clerk to tell Miss Wa ters that he and Carroll would like to see her briefly. The clerk frowned profession ally and consulted a card rile by his side. "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but Miss Waters has left us. She checked out Just a little while ago. OTary leaned weakly against the desk. He turned to Carroll and he looked very tired. "I nev er thought" But he didn't finish. He grabbed Carroll's arm and propelled him swiftly toward the door and out Into the street (To Be Continued) FARM MA N Successor to Henry A.
