Whatever hli own Immediate- object might be It thas scraping tt acquaintance intent no*difference ft would doubtless dt yelop in time, but meanwhile here w;| thrf opportunity sought to discuss tiq affairs of the neighborhood. Yet tli subject must be approached witti dti( caution. The very indifference of th| bartender, coupled with the evideij desire of this hanger-on to form a I acquaintance, served to reveal th? real nature of the place. Plalnlj enough' strahgers were viewed wltt suspicion, and this was no ordlnarj saloon, catering to Whatever tradt drifted within Its doors. More that likely it was rather a thieves* hong out, ever suspicious of the activity ?i the police. Yet this fellow bore no outwart semblance to the common eonceptloi of the underworld. He was wel dressed, easy of mnjinet, with an es ceptlonally intelligent face, blue eyet meeting West's gaze frankly, a care fully trimmed numtaoho .

I've dropped In here when It was lively enough, believe me. Rut tonight It's the lhnlt. Fact Is I come up for a little excitement, as much as anything else, but must have struck ?uS off night. You're a sjnoke Inspector, Mike says?" West nodded. "Know Fred Knrvan, I suppose?" "Oh, yes; friend of yours?" "Used to he; we were kids together down on the South side.

Been a soldier, haven't you?" "Yea, but what made you ^blnk that?" In some surprise at the unexpected query. The man laughed, lighting a cigar carelessly. "Oh. It has not been so long since, that tha AVMA?iaa ?AK1UAHA4ai1 got h habit of noticing things. The ?way you Rlt, and square your shoulders told me you'd been in uniform; besides, you're the right age. ("Set cross to France?" "Had over a year there," wonderlng?jvhat the fellow could he angling after. "Ton didn't get In?" "No; I was over the limit. I was thinking you might be interested in looking over u collection of war relic?: Mike has got stowed away here somewhere. He had two boys over there, and I reckon they must have put in most of their time gathering up souvenirs. Anyhow they brought back the greatest collection of wnr Junk I've ever seen. Say, Mike, what did you do with those war relics the hoys ent home?" The fellow addressed leaned ovet the bar, bis face glowing with sudden Interest. "They vas in the back-room, all spread out. Why you ask? 'The gen.tlemen would see them, what?" "Yes; this one was a soldier himself. How la It? You fellows like tc see the things?" West hesitated for just an instant his eyee turning unconsciously toward Sexton, who had not spoken. He fell to what this Invitation might conceal Tet It had all been natural enough and promised an opportunity for hljr to learn something more of the place Besides, there could be no danger both he and Sexton were armed, and apparently the Invitation was lnno cently extended. To refuse to accept would be churlish. "Certainly," he said at last, qunftln* the last of his beer and rising to hU feet. "It will be nothing ^ew to ine I Imagine, but vffee'll have a look."

The three stood close behind him ns Mike inserted the key, and opened ] the door. The tightly closed room, with shades drtvwo at the single win. i dow, was so dark thai West could scarcely discern Its shape and contents. Mike. without hesitation, stepped within, his great hulk blotting out whatever view thet> was. "Cone right In, gents," he Insisted. ; "Von minute, an' I turn on the light." West never understood why lie re gpotidtd so recklessly to this invlt* tlon. nn,1 advanced without lieshntVm. lie hud no suspicion of any trick, 110 conception of being in any danger, lie stepped In dlrocUy behind the lender, and Sexton followed. An in stunt Inter, the door closed, with the sharp click of h night hitch, and Mike llnsltcd on the light. As he did so, he wheeled uhont, and%liot one mighty clenched Hat straight into West's face. This was doup> so suddenly, so unexpectedly, the man attacked found no opportunity to even throw up a hand In self-defense. The giant Pole flung his whole weight Into the crashing blow, and the ex-soldier went down as though struck by a pole-ux. For an instant, he realized that Sexton ' was in a fierce struggle; that his as- ! gallant stood poised above him ready j to hmd again if hp moved; then con- i gcloasness left him entirely. He woke up, sitting in a chair, his ! hands hound to the arms with strips > of cloth. For a moment everything about seemed tinged with yellow, the various objects in sight vague and shapeless. It hurt him to move his head, and his mind functioned dully, lie could not think, or bring hack to memory a recollection of what hud occurred. Yet slowly the mist cleared ! and the objects about him assumed nataral form. He was In a room of some size?not the one In which he linn niiiiriteii, lie K'ii sure?ucieil up with u long table, and a number of chulrs. There was no other furniture; the walls were hare, and only a small rap rug partially covered the floor. At first he perceived no other occupants; only as, painfully, lie finally twisted his hend to the right, his eyes distinguished two men seated against the wall. The sight of their faces restored lnstantb his memory of whii' hail occurred. The Tide rested hack, with feet on the table and eyes closed, hut the other?the younger man?was watching him closely, an . uulightcd cigar gripped In his teeth. "So, you've come out of It," the latter said unpleasantly. "I'd begun to ' think Mike had hnndefl you a seal kill-i ill t flint tfm#* lion/lit nnwunr a few questions?" West, his brnln clearing rapidly, sat i up stmilliter In the chair, determined ? to play out his part the best he could ' "Perfectly ready," he replied Strug i gllng to control his voice. "Only 1 should like to know what all this ' 1 means? Why attack me?" "You'll find that out soon enough, 1 Captain; hut lirst I'll do the ques J tinning." > "Nor until I kriow one thing, at leas'. ; ?what has become of tire man who , was with me?" I "Well, I might n* well tell you.' t carelessly, "lie got hurt; the fool coiu i pelled me to hit him with n gat; so . he's out of It, and you might as well , come through clean?that guy tan'l golpg to hejp you any." "You mean von killed him?" ; "Well, lie's out of the frame; thnt'.s I enough. And ns for you, your best pln.x rifrht now Is to talk up straight." He I laughed mieerliigly, "Unless you want to call up your friend Karvnn, at the { City hall, you know. II?1, but you was i easy!" , "Baay?" "That's what I said. I knew yon all . rlfrht when you first blew In, only I , wasn't quite suro. I naturally guessed . your snioke-Uispectoi1 stunt was a . sham. Bo I ran that Krcd Karvnn stuff i In on you.

"Perhaps Til t?ll you when you ex-1 plain. What brought you Into this neighborhood. Hunting some one, wasn't you?" "Not exactly." "Oh, don't lie; that will bring you nothing. West. You were sticking your nose Into n private matter which does not concern you in any way. Thut's right, isn't It? Very well, you've had your lesson, and now It Is simply up to you to either drop_Jhl8 thing, or else take another. It's up to you how far we go. Now listen I believe it was merely curiosity that brought you here. That's true. Isn't It?" "Largely, yes." "You suspected something, and wanted to find out If it was so. Well, you came Into a bad neighborhood. We are not nice to your kind around here. What really caused your seeking ine?" "I do not know that I did," West answered honestly. "In fact I haven't , the slightest Idea who you are." The other laughed. "So you are as green as that Then I'll give you the Information. My name Is Ilohart, Jim Hohart. I am the guy you were looking for?" "Yes," West* admitted, seeing no reason to refuse an answer. "I thought sd, although darned If I 1 know how you ever located me here. I However, the sooner we come to some! understanding, the better. What do you know about me?" "Nothing." "Is that sol You knew my name when I spoke It. It was the Coolhlge matter that sent you hunting me. You thought the girl \Vas here, didn't you?" j "I had renson to believe fehe cnme here." "I see; how did you gain that news?" "A conversation by'telephone was overheard." "Now we are getting down to facts. And this comprises yom entire Information, doesn't It? Tret's check up. You connected me with the case because you were with the uncle nnd her on their call Sunday. You discovered In some wuv that I had since disappeared from that neighborhood. Then you accidentally got on to this telephone call, and det lded te run me down. Seine cute little detective, I'll say. But wh it'i the obJ-?ct? What Is It you are tiyms to connect me up with. What possible cause can you have for butting In on this affair?" "I told you before; merely curiosity." "And who was the guy with you?" "An old aervant of the Cool Wig e family." "It was mere curiosity In hifl cuse also, 1 presume?" "So far as I know, yes." ilohart smiled, showing Ids teeth cruelly. "West," he said slowly, "you are a d<?(1 good liar, hut I am about to spike your gun. Go on out, Mike, and send In the llrst witness." The two sat silently watching each other, Holm i t pretending a carelessness he was far from feeling, uncertain as to West's real purpose. The latter realized now the true seriousness of his position, yet this only Increased his tielief in the reality of the crime. Previously his mind had harbored doubts, but the very fact that Ilobart would resort to such desperate methods was ailltile nrnnf of l?iu slon of danger. If Percival Coolldge liad committed suicide, this fellow would surely have nothing to fear; he could safely Ignore any efforts to trap him; Indeed would possess no suspicious along that line. It was nis own guilty conscience which drove him to desiteration. Coolldge had been murdered, and this man was either guilty of the crime, or else knew the one who was, and had personal reasons for protecting the party. These thoughts took possession of his mind and were convincing, lie no longer questioned hut tliut he was on the track of ^ime, yet his thought at' that moment concentrated more vividly on his own personal peril. How could he escape? What was he about to he confronted with? Nothing around him afforded inspiration. He was bound helplessly; Sexton iiad disappeared, whether dead or n prisoner, he did not knifw; the walis of Ihe room exhabited no signs of weakness, while IUihurt eyed ids every movement coldly, evidently enjoying his predicament. Apparently flip man comprehended the nature of his thought. \ 1? - f ? cmr< iij ? esr, " lit* snia carelessly. "This place was constructed for the purpose, and you are not the oitly one who has tested Its strength. You will get out when I say So, and not before." "I>o you intend to say so?"

So fur ns I cnn see you possess no particular Interest in -this mutter?-only the attraction u young fellow always feels in u pretty woman, lluve I pot that doped out right?" "To an extent, at leust."

She waited, seemingly unable to grasp the situation, or realise the part she was called upon to perforin, hut as West failed to respond, finally asked a question. ."What Is It, Jim? You sent for rue?" 'JJee, es a Inst wort. You recognize this man?" "Of course." Indifferently; "what Is he doing here?" Hohart laughed. "It seems the fellow hasn't taken his dismissal very serious1 y, Natalie," he explained, "and rein. Ins very much interested in your affairs." "You mean he followed me hero?" "lie was on the trail, but Just for wnai particular purpose I have failed to learn ; the lad Is a hit close mouthed, but It looks to me as though he was In love with you." The girl smiled, t< ss'ng her head as she stepped forward "In love with me," she echoed. "That Is a Joke, yet I had :- one such suspicion when I told him to quit the Job. He acted like a fool then, and began to question me as though he had a right. It was that being engaged business, most likely." "Sure - be thought lie had you eopped, fortune and ell, and !t looks to me like he needs Booth r jolt to put the Idea entirely out of his head. That Is what I brought you n tor.

That's i all there Is ahout It." West had said nothing, watching the j others, and waiting to choose some ) course of action. Ills mind was confused, uncertain, yet he found encouragement in llohart's statement of the i case. The fellow felt no serious fear of him; laid no suspicion as yet that any- | one believed I'erclval Oolidge mur* j 'PI? Ml. -- *1 m im. i lit' iniillill>llll,V WHS UI1II IHH | even tin* girl dreamed of such n thing.! Whatever her connection might be j with this man, slip must he innocent of so tfwul a crime. If he could onij speak to her alone; bring to her tlie truth; reveal to her the real character of this man Hobart, there would be no doubt of the result. In spite of the strange situation he yet retained faith in the girl; she had been deceived, led astray in some manner, but ills lirst impression of her true nature still controlled his thought, ife could only believe her a victim of .scheming villains, driven by circumstances to play a part uterly foreign to her character. His only hope of learning the facts from her own lips, or of re-establishing her faith in him, lay in a moment's con vendition alone. His mind instantly leaped to tills conclusion, and his eycg met her own. Tliey were wide open, full of curiosity yet not unkind. He spoke swiftly. "That sounds fai?* enough, Ilolmrt," he said <|uletly, taking the chance as though it was the most natural thing in the world. "I am not hunting trouble in any way, or seeking to butt in where I am not wanted. Your guess as to my purpose In coming here is about right. I had no other object but to ho of some service to this young lady. If I can talk with her a moment alone, and thus assure myself as to her wishes, I'll give you any pledge you want, and forget all about the afTalr. Is that satisfactory"' "Alone, you snld? You want to see her alone?" "Absolutely no other arrangement will answer. I want her to talk freely; to answer my questions with no Interference." Hobart glanced toward his companion Inquiringly. evidently Inclined to deny the request. "If?I, V>u don't want much," he said rather gruffly. "What do you think about this proposition, Natalie?" The girl smiled, her eyes still on West's face. ?1,1 i' ' "r m i if m iTm i'i i I i | The packag Your taste The sales p Over Jbillu I Linorrr& Myfrs Tobacco Co. "All right, if you say so.

Ilobnrl was not entirely satislied hesitating as he lit a fresh cigar, hit keen eye* watchful of them both. How ever it was plain to be seen the gir1 had inude her decision, and he evi flentl.v knew her well enough to realize the tts'dcssness of revolt. "All right, then," he replied finally, turning to the door. "Suit yourself, only watch your step. Anyhow, I'll be within railing dlstanee. If this guy gets gay." "Don't worry about that," a Hash of anger In her eyes. "I am no baby, Jim Ilohnrt. (Jo on now, and leave Captain Wo* to mo." lie closed the door behind him, nnd the two were alone in the room. No sound reached them from without, not even an echo of Ilobart's footsteps in the hall. West looked across at the I girl, who sat motionless, her eyes | shaded by long lashes, and ringless lingers clasped in her lap. She up* poured indifferent, uninterested, scarcely aware of his presence. He wondurcd If Hobart was listening at the door; what had become of Mike, and whether Sexton was alive or dead. For the moment he could Scarcely make himself i realize the true situation. His silence served to arouse her Interest, for she suddenly lifted her head and looked at him. "Well," she said soberly. "You have something to ask?" "Much?yes; but first, are we alone?" "(Vrtninly?why?" "This man Ilohart, you are sure he Is not listening at the door?" She glanced about; then laughed. "Little good that would do him; there Is no key-hole, no chanoe for sound to penetrate. We are quite alone, Captain, and you are perfeetly free to say whatever you please." "Hut even then, Is this wholly fair?" "What do you mean?" "I came here." he explaibed earnestly, "with no had Intention; no desire io Injure any one, Miss Coolldge; my only thought the possibility of hoing of some service to you." "That la very Interesting.
