He realized that his son loved the
woman —nor could he wonder much at
that. His keen eyes had perceived
Mary Turner's graces of form, her
loveliness of face. He had appre
hended. too. in some measure at least,
the fineness of her mental fiber and
the capacities of her beart. Deep with
in him. denied any outlet, he knew
here iurked a curious, subtle sympathy
for the girl in her scheme of revenge
against himself.
Gilder, in his library this night, was
pacing impatiently to and fro. eagerly
listening for the sound of his son's re
turn to the house. He was anxious
for tlie coming of Dick, to whom he
would make one more appeal. If that
should fail—weil. he must use the in
fluences at his command to secure the
forcible parting of the adventuress
from his sou.
Finally the son entered the room
and went at once to his father, who
was standing waiting, facing the door.
“I’m awfully sorry I'm so late, dad."
he said simply. \
“Where have you been?" the father
demanded gravely. Hut there w-as
great affection in the flash of his gray
eyes as he scanned the young man's
face, and the touch of the hand that
he put on Dick's shoulder was very
tender. “With that woman again?"
“No. father, not with her. She won’t
see me."
“Naturally! She's got all she want
ed from you—my name!"
“It's mine, too, you know, sir."
Gilder looked at his son with a
strange, new respect.
“Dick." he cried—"boy. you are all I
have in the world. You will have to
free yourself from this woman some
how. You owe me that much.”
"I owe something to her. too. dad.”
"What can you owe her? She trick
ed you into the marriage. Why. legal
ly it's not even that. There's been
nothing more than a wedding cere
mony. We must get you out of the
scrape "
"I’m not sure that I want to get out
of it. father."
"Yon want to stay married to this
jail bird!"
"I'm very fond of her."
“Now that you know?"
“Now that I know." Dick said dis
tinctly. "Don't you see. father? Why.
she is justified in a way—in her own
mind anyhow. I mean. She was inno
cent when she was sent to prison."
“Don't talk to me about her inno
cence. There's only one course open
to you. my boy. You must give this
girl up. If you don’t what are you
going to do the day your wife is
thrown into a patrol wagon and car
ried to police headquarters, for it's
sure to happen? The cleverest of |*»o
ple make mistakes, and some day sJie’ll
make one."
Dick threw out his hands in a ges
ture of supreme denial. But the fa
ther went on remorselessly.
"They will stand her up where the
detectives will walk past her with
“( owe something to her, too, dad. M
musks ou tlieir faces. Her picture, of
course, is already in the rogues' gal
lery. but they will take another—yes.
and the imprints of her fingers and the
measurements of her body.”
'/'he sou was writhing under the
words. The woman of whom these
things were said was the woman
whom he loved. Yet every word had
In it the piercing, horrible sting of
truth.
"That's what they will do to youi
wife," Gilder went on harshly, "to the
woman who bears your name and
mine. What are you going to do about
it V”
“It will uever happen. She will go
straight, dad. That I know. You
would know it if you only knew her as
1 do."
tiilder was in desiwir. What argu
ment could avail him'/ He cried out
sharply in desperation.
“Ho you realize what you're doing?
.Don't _■:<> to smash, .Dick, jus/ at the
beginning of your life. Oh. 1 beg you.
boy. stop! I’ut this girl out of your
thoughts and start fresh. You're all 1
have, my boy.”
"Yes. dad," came the answer. “If 1
could avoid it I wouldn’t hurt you for
anything in the world. I'm sorry, dad.
awfully sorry”— He hesitated, then
his voice rang out clearly: "But I must
fight tliis out by m/self—light it out
in my own way. And I’m going to
do it!"
The butler entered.
"A man to see you. sir," he said.
TJie master took the card. “Very
well." lie said, “show him up." His
glance met the wondering gaze of his
sou.
"It's Burke." he explained.
"What on earth can he want—at this
time of night?" Dick exclaimed.
"You may as well get used to visits
from the police."
A moment later inspector Burke en
tered the room.
"She's skipped!" he said triumph
antly.
Dick made a step forward. His eyes
flashed, and there was anger in his
voice as lie replied:
“I don't believe it."
“She left this morning for Chicago."
Burke said, lying with a manner that
long habit rendered altogether con
vincing. "I told you she'd go.” He
turned to the father and spoke with an
air of boastful good nature. "Now, all
you have to do is to-get this boy out of
the scrape and you'll" lie all right."
“if we only could!" The cry came
with deepest earnestness from the lips
of Gilder, but there was little hope in
his voice.
"I guess we can find a way to have
the marriage annulled or whatever
they do to marriages that don't take."
said Burke.
The brutal assurance of the man in
thus referring to things that vVere
sacred moved Dick to wrath.
V*i )on’t you interfere." he said.
Nevertheless Burke held to the topic.
“Interfere! Hub!" he ejaculated,
grinning broadly. "Why. that's what
I’m paid to do. Listen to me. son. The
minute you begin mixing up with
crooks you ain’t in a position to give
orders to any one. The crooks have
got no rights in the eyes of the police
Just remember that."
But I lick was not listening. His
thoughts were again wholly with the
Woman he loved, who. as the inspector
declared, had fled from him.
“Where’s she gone in Chicago?”
Burke answered in his usual gruff
fashion, but with a note of kindliness
that was not without ils effect on
Dick.
“I’m no mind reader," he said. “But
she’ll probably stop at
—that is. unt.il tlie Chicago police are
tipped off that she is in town.”
The face of the young man took on
a totally different expression. He went
close to the inspector and spoke with
intense seriousness.
“Burke," he said pleadingly, “give
me a chance. I’ll leave for Chicago in
the morning. Give me twenty-four
hours start before you begin bounding
her."
The inspector smiled acquiescence.
“Seems reasonable.” he admitted.
“No. no. Hick!” the father cried.
“You shall not go! You shall not go!"
The inspector shot a word of warn
ing to Gilder in an aside that Dick
could not hear.
“Keep still.” he replied. “It's all
right."
"You give me your word, inspector.”
Dick said, "that you won't notify the
police in Chicago until I've been there
twenty-four hoursV”
“You're on." Burke replied genially.
“They won't get a whisper out of me
until tile time is up.” ,
"Then I'll go” Dick smiled rather
wanly at his father. "You know. dad.
I'm sorry, but I've got to do what 1
think is tiie right thing.”
it was not until the door was closed
after Dick that Burke spoke.
"He'll go to Chicago in the morning,
you think, don't you?” he asked.
"Certainly." Gilder answered. “But
I don't like it."
"Best thing that could have hap
pened! You see. he won't find her
t here."
“Where did she go then?" Gilder
queried, wholly at a loss.
"Nowhere yet. But just about the
time lie's starting for the west i'll
have her down at headquarters. Deni
arest wiii have her indicted before
noon. She'll go to trial in the after
noon, ami tomorrow night she'll be
sleeping up the river. That's where
she is going."
Gilder stood motionless for a mo
ment. “But." he said woiuleringly.
"you can't do that." ■
“Well, perhaps I can't, hut 1 will!"
Suddenly his face grew hard. His
heavy jaw shot forward aggressively
as he spoke.
“Think I'm going to let that girl
make a joke of the police department?
Why. I'm here to get her. to stop her
anyhow. Her gang is going to break
into your house tonight."
“What?" Gilder demanded. "You
iuihiu she's coming here as a thief?"
"Not exactly." Inspector Burke con
fesaed. "but her pals are coming to
try to pull off something right here
She wouldn't come, not if 1 know he”.
She s too clever for that. Why. if she
knew what Garson was planning to
do. she'd stop him."
The inspector paused suddenly. For
a long minute his face was seamed
with thought. Then he smote his
thigh with a blow strong enough to
kill an ox. His face was radiant.
“I've got her!" he cried. He went
to the desk where the telephone was
aiid took up the receiver.
"Give me 3100 Spring.” he said. As
he waited for the connection he smiled
widely on the astonislied Gilder.
“Headquarters?" he called. "Inspect
tor Burke speaking. Who’s in my of
fice? 1 want him quick.” He smiled

as he listened, und tie spoke again to
Gilder. "It’s Smith, the best man I
have. That’s luck, if you ask me."
Then again he spoke Into the mouth
piece of the telephone.
"Oh, Ed, send some one up to that
Turner woman. You have the address.
Just see that she is tipped off that Joe
Garson and some pals are going to
break into Edward Gilder’s house to
night. Get some stool pigeon to hand
her the information. You’d better get
to work quick. Understand?’’
The inspector hung up the receiver
and faced his host with a contented
smile.
“What good will all that do?" Gilder
demanded impatiently.
“She’ll come to stop ’em. When we
get the rest of the gang we’ll grab her
too. Just call your man for a minute,
will you, Mr. Gilder?"
Gilder pressed tlie electric button
on his desk. At the same moment,
through the octagonal window, came
a blinding flash of light that rested
for seconds, then vanished. Burke was
startled by the mysterious radiance.
“What’s that?" he demanded sharply.
“It’s the flashlight from the Metro
politan tower." Gilder explained. "It
swings around this way a Unit every
fifteen minutes, Tlie servant forgot
to draw the curtains.”
CHAPTER XIII.
The Burglary at Gilder’s.
THE entrance of the butler
brought the inspector’s thoughts
back to the matter in hand.
“My man.” tie said authorita
tively, “1 want yon to go up to the
roof and open the scuttle. You’ll find
some men waiting up there. Bring
’em down here. They're police offi
cers. You get ’em down here, and
then you go to bed and stay there till
morning. Understand?”
Tlie butler looked at his master for
guidance. Receiving a nod. he said:
“Very well, sir."
“How do you know they’re going to
break into the house’ tonight.” Gilder
demanded of Burke, “or do you only
think they're going to break into the
house?"
"1 know they are. I fixed it.”
“You did?"
"Sure; did it through a stool pigeon.”
“Oh, an informer!" Gilder interrupt
ed, a little doubtfully.
“Yes,” Burke agreed; "stool pigeon
is the police name for him. Really,
he's the vilest thii.g that crawls.’,’
“But if you thi: k that" Gilder ex
postulated. "why do have any
thing to do with that sort of person?”
"Because it's good business." the in
spector replied. "We know lie’s a spy
and a traitor and that every time he
comes near us we ought to use a dis
infectant. But we deal with liiffi' just
the same because we have to/ /Now,

but she told Garson to leave it.'.’tilone.
But he met Griggs afterwaVij and
agreed to pull it off. Griggs got word
to uie that it's coming off tonight, and
so. you see. Mr. Gilder, that's 'how i
know.” t
“I see."'Gilder admitted without any
enthusiasm. "But why do yeuj have
your men come down over thereof?”
“It wasn't safe to bring them ,in the
front way. It's a cinch the house is
being wlitched. I wish you would let
me have your latch key. 1 want to
come, hack and make this collar my
self." t
"But why not stay, now that you are
here?"
"Suppose some of them saw me come
in? ‘There wouldn't be anything doing
until after they saw me go out again."
The hall door opened, and the butler
re-entered the room. Behind him came
Cassidy and two other detectives in
plain clothes. At a word from his
master the disturbed Thomas with
drew.
“Now." Burke went on briskly as
the door closed behind the servant,
"where could these men stay out of
sight until they're needed?"
There followed a little discussion
which ended in the selection of a
storeroom at the end of the passage on
Ihe ground floor.
“And now. Mr. Gilder." the inspec
tor said energetically. "I'm going to
give von the same tip I gave your man.
bn to bed and stay there.”
“Biit the boy." Gilder protested.
“What about him? He's the one thing
of importance to me." »
“If he says anything more about go
ing to Chicago just you let him go.
that's all! It's the best place for him
for the next few days."
“You're in < Marge here." Burke said
to Cassidy, "and I hold you responsi
ble. I'iy coming back to get this
hunch myself, and I'll call you when
you're wanted. You'll wait in the
storeroom oat there and don't make a
move till you hear from me. tittles'* by
any chance things go wrong and you
get 9 call from Griggs He's got a
whistle, and he'll use it if necessary.
Got that straight?" Cassidy declared
an eutire understanding of the direc
tions.
As the men left the room Burke
turned again to Gilder.
“Just one thing more." he said. "Aft
er I've gone I want you to stay up for
a half hour anyhow, with the lights
burning. Do you see? 1 want to be
sure to give the Turner woman time
to get here while that gang is at
work."
Gilder scrupulously followed the di
rections of the police inspector. TJn
easily he had remained in the library
until tiie allotted time was *elapsed
He fidgeted from place to place, his
mind heavy with distress under the
shadow that threatened to blight the
life of his cherished son. Finally, with
a sense of relief he put out the lights
and went to his chamber.
His thoughts were most with his son.
and ever as he thought of Dick his
fury waxed against the woman who
had enmeshed the boy in her plotting
sV *
Mary Was Utterly Wretched.
for vengeance on himself. And into
his thoughts now crept a doubt, one
that alarmed his sense of justice. A
horrible suspicion that he had misjudg
ed Mary Turner crept into his brain
and would not out. He fought it with
all the strentgth of him. and that was
much. I tut ever it abode there.
Mary Turner herself, too. was in a
condition utterly wretched, and for the
snifle cause—Dick Gilder. That source
of the father’s suffering was hers as
well. She had won her ambition of
vears—revenge on tlie man who had
her to prison. And now the joy
of it was a torture, for the puppet of
her plans, tlie son. had suddenly be
come tlie chief thing in her life.
She had taken it for granted that he
would leave her after he came to know
that her marriage to him was only a
device to bring shame on his father.
Instead he loved her. That fact seem
ed the secret of her distress. He loved
her. More, he dared believe, and to
assert boldly, that she loved him. Had
he acted otherwise the matter would
have been simple enough. But he
loved her still, though he
knew the shame that had clouded her
life, knew the motive that had led her
to accept him as a husband. More—by
a sublime audacity he declared that
she loved him.
There came a thrill in her heart each
time she thought of that—that she
loved him. The idea was monstrous,
of course, and yet— Here, as always,
she broke off. a hot flush b'azing iu her
cheeks.
Mary Turner was just ready for bed
when a note came by a messenger who
waited for no answer, as lie told the
yawning maid. As Mary read the
roughly scrawled message, she was
caught in the grip of terror. Tlie man
who had saved her from death had
yielded to temptation. As he had
saved her so she must save him. She
hurried into the gown she had just
put off. Then she went to the tele
phone book and searched for the num
ber of Gilder's house.
A few moments before Mary Turner
received the nute from the hands of

of the octagonal window in the library
of Bichard GildeV's town house swung
open under the persuasive influence of
a thin rod of steel, cunningly used,
and Joe Garson stepped confidently
into the dark room. *
For a space he rested motionless,
listening intently. Beassured. be drew
out an electric torch and set it glow
ing. A little disk of light touched here
and there about the room, traveling
very swiftly and in methodical cir
cles. Satisfied by the survey. Garson
crossed to the hall door, where he lis
tened for any sound of life without
and found none. The door into the
passage that led to the storeroom
where the detectives waited next en
gaged his businesslike attention And
here again there was naught to pro
voke his suspicion.
It seemed to him that everything
was in readiness for the coming of his
associates. There remained only to
give them tiie signal in the room
around the corner where they waited
at a telephone. He seated himself in
Gilder's chair at the desk and drew the
telephone to him.
“Give me 1)99 Bryant." he said.
There was a little wait. Then an an
swer in a voice he knew came over the
wire.
Garson picked up a penholder from
the desk and began tapping lightly on
the rim of the transmitter. It was a
code message in Morse. In the room
around tlie corner the tapping sounded
clearly, ticking out tlie message that
the way was free for file thieves’ com
ing.
For a final safeguard Garson sea reli
ed for and found tlie telephone bell
box and unscrewed the bells, which lie
placed on the desk. He then took his
pistoj from his hip pocket and thrust
it into the right side pocket <ii his coat.
Once again, now, he produced the elec
tric torch aiid lighted it as he extin
guished tlie lamp on tlie table.
He then went to the door into the
hall, opened it and. leaving it ajar,
made his way in silence to the outer
doorway. The doors there were freed
of their bolts, and one of them swung
wide. So nicely had the affair been
timed that hardly was the door open
before the three men slipped in and
stood mute and motionless in the hall
while Garson refastened the doors.
Then Garson walked quickly back to
the library. Behind him. with steps as
noiseless as his own. came the three
men.
When all were gathered in the li
brary Garson shut the hall door,
touched the button in tlie wall beside
it. and the chandelier threw its radiant
light on tlie group.
Griggs was in evening clothes, seem
ing a very elegant young gentleman
indeed, but liis two companions were
of grosser type as far as appearances
went-r-one. Dace.v. thin and wiry, with
a ferret face: the other. Chicago Red.
a brawny ruffian, whose stolid features
nevertheless exhibited something of
half sullen good nature.
“Everything all right so far." Garson
said rapidly. He turned to Griggs and
pointed toward the heavy hangings
that shrouded the octagonal window.
“Are those the things we want?" he
demanded.
"Yes," wai the answer.
“Well, then, we've got to get busy.”
Before he could add a direction he
was halted by a soft buzzing from ihe
telephone. For an instant lie hesitaied
while tlie others regarded him doubt
fully.
got to take a chance.” Gar
son went to the desk and put the re
ceiver to his ear.
There came again tlie faint tapping
of. some one at tlie other end of tlie
line, signaling a message in the Morse
code. An expression of blank amaze
ment. which grew in a tiasli to deep
concern, showed on Garsou's face as
he listened tenselu.
“Why. this is Mary calling,” he mut
tered.
“Mary!" Griggs cried.
“Yes, she's on." Garson interpreted a
moment later as the tapping ceased for
a little. He translated in a loud whim
per as the irregular ticking uoise
sounded again.
"I shall he there almost at once. 1
am sending this message from the
drug store around the corner. Have
some one open the door for me imme
diately."
“She's coming over!" Griggs cried in
credulously.
"No. I’ll stop her," Garsou declared
firmly.
But when after tapping a few words
the forger paused for tlie reply uo
sound came.
“She don't answer!" he exclaimed.
"On her way already." Griggs sug
gested. "I'll let her iu." He drew a
small torch from the skirt pocket of
his coat and crossed to the hall door as
Garson nodded assent.
