Logan might have had the welfare of the community at heart in his campaign against the police department, but he had not exactly neglected the welfare of The Courier, either. There was a sporting quality about the forthcoming test that intrigued the fancy of the people; they became as excited and as Opinionative as though it were a championship prize fight. On Saturday considerable betting was reported, with the odds against Daly When the City Hall clock struck twelve, Daly stepped out of a basement entrance of The Courter building. Huge bundles of the up-state edition of the morning paper were be- ing stacked in a truck for delivery to the early train. The young reporter, clad in overalls and with his face plentifully besmeared with printer's ink, scrambled up on the seat beside the driver. The latter recognized him and winked. "You'd fool anybody,"' he said approvingly. "Let's go," The last bundle was flung on board and the truck moved slowly down the dark alley and out into the street, A unifi d 1 "We got Daly shouted the porter, grinning The driver's eyes bulged so early in the game. staggered him patrolman merely laughed and went on, chuck ling heartily at the joke "You have your nerve!" said admiringly "He might taken you up on it." 'Not a chance He thought I was kidding him." in here!' perched in prominence. A lone traffic officer at the busiest up-town iritersection halted them for a few moments, then waved them ahead When they had driven half a dozen blocks the truck slowed down and Daly clambered to the pavement, a dinner pail under his arm 'Good night."" "Good luck, kid."' The truck rumbled away Daly strode down a dark street until he came to a dingy. three-storey brick house, ex- actly similar to numerous three-storey brick houses to right and left on either side, even to the placard in the lower window, advertising the fact that furnished rooms were let, apply within Taking a latch-key from his pocket locked the door, entered a narrow hall inated by a dispirited gas-jet, went up flights of stairs, and let himself into the fur nished room he had rented the previous day It was a mere cell; the smoky walls were cracked and seamed; it was furnished with a cot, a washstand, and a precarious chair However, the place was ideal for his pur- pose The landlady was a scrawny woman who existed in some mysterious domain be yond the gloom of the downstairs hall. The other lodgers were silent men who came and went like shadows No one had the slightest curiosity about any one else Daly went to bed Shortly after ten o'clock next morning he got up, donned a flannel shirt and an old suit, and sallied forth for breakfast. As his pre- sence might attract attention at that hour in he walked several blocks where there was he un- illum two the corner restaurant to an arm-chair Tunch-room always a miscellaneous crowd, and here he ate bacon and eggs and read the morning paper The Courier was a twenty-four-hour sheet, publishing morning and evening editions. With the originality and promptness which is sucha charming feature of the American press, it published its evening editions in the morning and its morning editions in the evening. Pre- sumably the driver of the delivery truck had been communicative, for already there was a gleeful account of Daly's drive from the news- paper office. It was embellished with a pic- ture of the patrolman who had laughed heart- ily at the idea of the fugitive's being in the truck Daly felt sorry for that luckless officer. The man in the next chair, who was also read- who was strolling by waved casually to them | f \ re-| of a sandwich, was snickering convulsively. Such Sionccey | But the | dumb cop that was!" They drove through the city streets Daly| ing the story and taking prodigious bites out "Hot dog!' he said, folding up the paper and reaching for his mug of coffee. "Whata He looked at Daly for approval.- "Did you read that in the paper?"' he said. this week and how he made a monkey out of one of 'em last night." Daly nodded and picked up his check. "Yeah, I read it." "Smart, huh?' Another snicker. "Just goes to show what a dumb bunch of cops we, got in this town." The man gulped a mouth- ful of coffee. 'Here was this guy Daly ralk- in' to the cop, and the cop° didn't reco'nize him. And his picture's been in the paper for the last coupla days. Believe me, he wouldn't get by me that easy I guess you gotta be blind to get a job on the police nowadays. Daly left him wagging his head and grop- | ing for cigarettes Outside, he made a mental note of the name of the restaurant, and speculated on the cha- grin of the talkative one when he read the evening editions and found that the fugitive had been bis neighbor at breakfast. His con- fidence was increased by the fact that he had not hitherto been recognized in spite of the fact that the newspapers had made his features familiar to almost every one in the city by now. The average citizen, he reflected, is woefully unobservant Daly turned the corner and colllided witha burly man in blue So engrossed had Daly been that he blundered directly against a policeman. "Sorry," he grunted, expecting to feel a heavy hand descend on his shoulder. In hig4 surprise, he had looked up and for a fleeting second he was face to face with the officer. He had recovered himself quickly, looked away, and stepped to one side "All right,' growled the constable. But Daly was already moving off A street car was just taking on passengers at the corner. Daly glanced back. He saw that the constable had turned around and wasy gazing after him, with a puzzled expression on his face "He spotted me," Daly breathed He reached the street car just as the doors were closing: He scrambled on board and the car began to move. Looking back again, he saw the policeman step forward uncertainly, then leap toward the curb and hail a taxi. There was no time to lose He thrust a ticket into the fare-box and walked the length of the car, where several passengers were standing at the exit waiting to alight at the next stop. The conductor gazed at him cur- iously. It wasn't often that people parted with car tickets for a ride of a block. The trolley halted Brakes screeched as the taxi came to a stop by the rear entrance.

Then, fearing that the policeman might have picked up the trail again, he got off and walked sever- al blocks, took a cross-town car, and at length found himself passing Riverside Park. It had been an arduous half-hour, so Daly felt that he was entitled to a breathing space. He join- ed the idlers in the park. Lounging on a bench under the warm sun, breathing the pure air and watching children at play beneath the trees, he had time to re- flect on the uncertainties that harass the life of a hunted man. Constant watchfulness was necessary. One could not relinquish vigilance foramoment. Just when he had been priding himself on the ease with which he had evaded the police, capture had been most imminent. A pallid man with a cynical mouth, a man neatly dressed in gray, sat down on the same bench. Daly glanced at him and saw that the pallid man was subjecting him to a shrewd scrutiny "How are you getting away with it?" ask- ed the stranger. Daly was nonplussed. Was this merely an expression in the vernacular, or had the pallid man recognized him? He was soon enlight- ened .. "Don't worry. I won't give you up, Daly I'm just out of stir myself, so I don't love the bulls any more than you do. HMw's it going?" "All right, so far.' The stranger nodded. "IT hope you get away with it. You'll show up Webb and Hollins and the whole cursed outfit I'm going to tip you off to something, though." "What is that?" >. "'If it was only the cops you had to dodge, you'd be all-right. But Dignan isn't taking any chances with you. Racey and his gang are on the job." Daly had heard of the gangster. He realiz- ed the importance of this information. "Never mind how I know this, but I know, see? Take this tip for what it's worth. This you imagine, and they don't intend to miss any bets. You've got both the crooks and the police and all Dignan's political flunkies against you, so watch your step."' "If they recognize me as quickly as you did. I won't last long."' "Don't worry about that. I've had to keep -my eyes open all my life, and I never forget a face. I recognized you up-town from your picture and I trailed you here." "Just to give me that tip?" The pallid man lit a cigarette. said, I'm in town on queer business. "Kid,"" he Maybe next week some time there'll oe a big story break for your paper, and I'l be behind it. You're out to get Hollins. So am I. Shake! Gravely he extended his hand, and Daly, after a moment of hesitation, took it. "That's why I'm helping you. If you can make Hollins look like a monkey, I'm with you. And after you're through, I'll start. But watch your step, kid. We're both in a deeper game than you know. It's so deep that one or both of us might never see Sun- day, I'm telling you." "Surely it isn't that bad,"' said Daly, witha nervous laugh. "Just that bad,"' returned the stranger ser- iously. "I know what I'm up against. You don't. So be careful. Keep your eyes peel- ed for the crooks. Don't go around the pool- rooms or the pigs. Stay away. They figure you might plan to hide out in the tough sec Lge Keep out. And look here, kid--if you fever get into a jam where you need a good hide-out, come to this address." He took an envelope from his pocket and scribbled an ad- dress on the back. 'Number Ten in the Carlton Arms. That's -where I live, and there's no telling when you might find it use- | fal: I'm with you, so don't be afraid."" | He thrust the envelope into Daly's hands, ; got up, patted his necktie, tilted his hat, nod- | ded curtly, and strode off down the gravel 'path, his cigarette at an angle between# his thin lips. : The reporter watched him as he went away. Who was this pallid stranger? What was his motive? Daly felt bewildered. Yet he was aware of an impression of unmistakable sincer- | ity about the mysterious man who had so oddly befriended him.
