Georgo Madison left the Pint; -National bank of Crosstown. He started up the busy street with that deliberate tread of his, then swung back to the corner. It might look suspicious to change his way* tonight. "The same, sir?" asked old Tim, blind since the battle of the Marne in World War I. "Yes," said George, wincing as l|is nickel banged the tin cup. "A bit cool for April," offered Tim, handing up the Crosstown Evening News. "Get to know w e a t h e r , d o n ' t we--being out in it every day like me an' you.

"They're mighty nice to me, too--from the president down." "Yes, of course," chopped out George, swinging away. Mrs. Murrey's gloomy boarding house irritated him more than ever tonight. But after warm food and lively table conversation with the other boarders, his confidence rose. He was able to let himself into the First National that evening, nearly as calmly as he'd done hundreds of former evenings. Only this time he would not be working overtime. for his superiors. Just for himself. Finally, he was stuffing big rolls of currency into a traveling bag. He hoped*his luck would hold, that Henry, the night watchman, would doze in the back room, as usual. His luck did hold. It held so well it was uncanny. Even his aged automobile ran perfectly till close to daybreak, when he abandoned it and hopped a fast freight for the west. His chief objective now was to reach a certain man highly skilled in plastic surgery, a man who'd do anything for a price. /^•EORGE MADISON now became ^ James Farnum. His hair was bleached white, his upper lip was smooth-shaven, his once good-looking nose was unpleasantly aquiline. Even his voice was higher pitched. He not only looked different, he felt different. He was rich. In Alaska, he went into fur trading, became surprisingly prosperous. He remained a bachelor and avoided making close friends. Three years of this and he grew restless.
