And. in that same instant of recognition between the motile color went out of the girl’s face. The littie red lips snapped t6- gethet in a line of supreme disgust against this vioissitnde of fate after all her maneuvetfings in the face of the enemy. “Helio, Aggie,” the detective remark- ed. with a smirk. while the inspector stared from one to the other and his jaw dropped from the stark surprise. The girl returned deliberately to the chair she had occupied through the in- tervic-w with the inspector and drop- ped into it weakly. it was after a minnte of silenee. in which the two men sat staring. that at last she spoke with a savage wrath against the pit into which she had fallen after her ardnom: efforts. “Ain’t that the â€"-est luck !" “Cassidy. do you know this woman?“ asked Burke. “Sure i (10!" came the plar'ld answer. “She‘s little Aggie Lynchâ€"con won)- an. from Buffalo-two years for black- mail «did her time at Bumsing.” For .1 little time» theta was sflence. the while Burke sat staring at the awrmvd fame of the am.

Where did you get the revol- ver?” Dick started to answer without thought: “Why. I grabbed lt"â€" Then. the gig nificunce of this crashed on his con- Scionsness. and he checked the words trembling on his lips. “So," he said with swift hostility in his voice. “so, you're trying to trap me. too! You! And you talk of friendship. I want none of suc‘h friendship.” 'But Burke would be no longer to strained. “You don’ t want to take us for tools young man, " he said. and his big tones rumbled harshly through the room. “If you shot Griggs in mistake for a bur- glar why did you try to hide the fact?

"You'll know all about your wife. young man. when you make up your mind to tell me the truth " Dirk turned and followed his custo- dian out of the offive in silence. As the doorman reapppared Burke gave his order. "Dan. have the Turner woman hrnght up." The inspez-tor next called his stenog- 'apher and gave explicit directions. At the bark of the room. behind the desk. were three large windows. Whlt'b ' opened on n (-orrtdnr, and arms: this was a tier of cells. The stcnogrnpher was to take his seat in this corridor. just outside one of the windows. Over the windows the shades were drawn. so that he would remain invisible to any one within the othee while yet easily able to overhear every word spoken in the room. When he had vompleted his instruc- tions to the stenogmpher Burke turned to Gilder and Demnrest. “Now, this time." he said energetic- ally. ”I’ll be the one to do the talking. 5 And get this: Whatever you hear me lsay don‘t you be surprised. Remem- ber. we’re dealing wib crooks. and when you’re dealing: with crooks you have to use crooked ways.” Then the door opened. and Mary Turner entered.
