"We're out of luck," he confes- sed, morosely. "No poison snapped Grant. "Not a trace. Nor on the cards. The glasses are clean. Vl take my oath that Lawson was poi- soned by potassium cyanide, but how it was administered is be- yond me. I'm stumped." "That's a setback. You don't think it might have been heart- failure after all?" . The doctor's fist pounded em- phatically on the desk. "Heart-failure, nothing! Pot- assium cyanide, conveyed to the mouth a few seconds before he dropped dead." "Suicide, then?" - "T'}] admit that possibility. It begins to look that way. He may have slipped the poison into his mouth as he turned away from the telephone. But why?" Grant shrugged. "I still be- lieve Lawson was murdered. We must have overlooked something. T have an idea--well, we can look into that later." He strode to- ward the door. "Here! Wait a minute! What did youfind up at the Golderest ?" "One of the Raider's victims." in the liquor?" "No!" The doctor was shock- ed and excited. "Who was it? Not Korman." > Grant shook his head. "No--not Korman. I want you to get a man to go up there with man was shot. Dig out the bul- It may be useful ence. And try not to leave , footprints around." said the doctor, slo "Korman?" "Yep. He sneaked out the back door of his house a little while ago. I was hidin' in the bushes, where you told me to hide." "Where did he go?" "Up the trail. Back up to Pet- tengill's place. I followed him. He nearly saw me once. He went across the back lots, the half-wit stumbling to keep up with him. They came in sight of Korman's cabin, now in darkness. "Stay here, Dopey,' snapped Grant. "I want you to watch the cabin. He may give me the slip. Stay here and watch for him." "Aw, mister___" begged Dopey in disappointment, his stride fal- tering. "Stay here.Y Reluctantly, the half-wit re- mained in the clearing. Grant loped up the trail. He wondered what had drawn Korman to the garage on Pettengill's property at this hour? That Korman was the man who had been in the gar- age while the searchers were scouring the bush for the Raider seemed obvious from the circum- stance of the torn coat. But why ? Was Korman the Raider? Had he returned to await a second op- portunity of attacking Petten- gill? ~ ; When Grant reached the top of the slope he advanced more cau- tiously. Pettengills' house was in darkness. The moon had gone down and the garage was scarce- ly visible against the background of forest. Away in the distance he could hear the steady, sullen on 5 eee ae ce "I'm going to interview a man who tore his coat tonight," said Grant, and closed the office door. Leaving the astonished and be- -wildered doctor to his own spec- ulations, Grant strode quickly down the street. He passed his - office, intending to go through an alley as a short-cut across the back lots to Korman's cabin, when aman darted out of the little porch. "Mister Grant! for you." Dopey Magee, cap awry, the straw -colored hair forming a veritable halo about his head, clung panting to Grant's arm. "T seen him, mister. I seen him leave the house. I followed him, like you said," babbled Dopey. "TI followed him up the trail. I seen where he went. I come down to find you. Been waitin' here for more'n ten minutes."

He listened and he Then, as he moved a little to one side, he glimpsed a pencil of yel- low light against the opposite wall. - He studied this light for a while but he could make nothing of it. Finally he left the win- dow, stole around to the front of the building, and tried the door. The padlock was unsnapped. He slipepdit back and opened the door. The hinges creaked. Grant loosened the flap of his holster and went into the garage. went around the end of the car and then he saw the reason for the strange pencil of light upon the wall. Light streamed from an aper- ture in the floor of the building. As he crept closer he saw that a partly raised trapdoor. don't you take off your mask "Pll talk, if it costs me five years into the garage. I seen him. I helpless.

He lay flat on the ffoor and peered through the opening. A flight of steps sloped be- neath the trapdoor. A few feet beyond the bottom of the steps, standing with his back against a wooden post, he saw Korman. Korman's feet were close to- gether and his arms 'were behind his back. Grant saw that the man's ankles were tightly bound with rope. He was tied hand and foot to the post, wrathful and you were afraid he had the evi- dence on us, eh? And you killed Norris because you knew he was wise. The Raider! Bah! The Raider hasn't been near Balsam Ridge since Demave was caught. Acheap trick. And now you double-cross me!" } j Korman struggled against the ropes for a moment, then leaned back against the post, panting. From another part of the secret chamber Grant heard the sound of someone moving about, a quiet laugh, the dull clank of metal. "Ten thousand dollars' worth --and you'd double-cross me for that!" rasped Korman. "I took all the risks, got the stuff out of the mine for you, and now you cash in. Figure I won't talk, eh? Ill squeal, you rat, even if I go to the pen for it. But. you'll swing." : Grant, listening, vould not dis- tinguish the other man's muffled reply. ' ae "You're not fooling me," snarl- ed Korman. "Who else knew about this highgrade plant? Who knew we had a crusher and the whole outfit down here under the garage? Who knew we had ten thousand dollars' worth of gold here?

He heard a muffled voice: FRENCH CAPITAL OVERHAULED TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT The whole of Paris is going through a gigantic overhaul which is mostly due to the scheme which was voted by the Parliament a few months ago.
