DAVE HENDERSON nhrusRcrl his
sbeuldrrs, Impatient with hlmfclf,
sb the guard opened n (Joer nnd motioned
i,lm te enter. It wis nbstird, ridiculous!
Xle had ever heard eC bnn prisoner
visiting another In this fashion? Then
wouldn't have been nny satisfaction in
It anyhow, with a gtinrd pacing up nnd
down between them! Well, then, who
wj It!
The doeP closed behind him he was
subconsciously nwnre that the deer had
dosed, and that the guard had left him
le himself. J Je wis also subconsciously
nirsre that his hands hnd reached out
In front of him nnd that his fingers
nere fiercely Inced In tlie jntcjrstices et
I'lhe heavy stecl-vfire netting of Iho in-
closure In which Im steed, and that lie
faced another row of steel-wire netting,
ceparated from his own only by the
pice (het was required le permit the

Natien there. There wan euly u fate '

row of netting n fat face the face!
nas supposed te be smiling, but It wni
like (he hideous grin of ii gnrgeylc. It j
was the same face, the same face w.ith i
ill rolls of fat prepped up en ita sh i
Mumpy neck. There wasn't nny rhn
in It, except that, the red-rlmmcd L
or were mere eliiftr. That wns the
e'nlv change In five ears Ihc eyes were
mere shifty. He found that his mouth
wns dry, curiously dry. The bleed wesn t
lunning tbrmigii ins veins, uecause ins
lingers en the wire felt cold -and el

denly like some flaming furnace, and a
read, passionate niry nnti mra hi n

lhat stumpy neck whom Ihc threat was,
and and He had been waiting five
tears for thnt and he was simply
"lulling, just as that ether face was
railing. Why shouldn't he &mil! That
fat face was Uoeklo Hkarvan's face.
'I cucss seu weren t looking te isec
me, Dave?" said Sknrvnn. nodding hl
head in a sort of absurd cordiality.
'Maybe you thought 1 was sere en jeu,
and there's no use saying I wasn t.
That was a nnsty crack you handed me.
If Tydcman hadn't conic across with
.mother bunch of coin en the jump.
these pikers down nt (he track would
I'ave pullcil me te pieces. Hut T didn't
reel sere long, ijbtc mat mn t me.
And that nln't why u kept away."
The ninii was finite safe, of course ,H
en account of these wire gratings, nnd
en account of the guard who was some seme seme
where out there in the corridor. It was
rcry peculiar lhat the guard was net
pacing up und down even new in this
little open space, between lloekle Skar-
an and himself very peculiar! Uoekic
was macnanimeus net te b sere! lie
wanted te laugh, out in n. sort, of mani
acal hysteria, only he would be n feel
te de that because there were sixty
two days left before he could get his
loiters around that greasy, fat thrent.
and he must net scare Iho man off new.
"Attabey I" lloekio grinned. "Yeu
bet seii're listening'. We ain't for
gotten thobe j ears jeu nul me. spent
together, hnve we, Dave? Yeu knew
inn, and I knew you. I kept nwny
from here until new, 'cause I didn't
want, 'em te get the right dope en the
betting didn't want 'em te think thne
was any chnncc of lis playing up le each
ether."
"Yeu menfi you didn't want them te
get wise thnt you were n creek, tee,"
suggested Dave Hendersen iinperturl)
ably. '
, Hoekle Kkarvan hnd no false modesty
his left eyelid drooped for the. second
lime.
Veu get flu idea, Duve," he grinned
again. "They've gut te figure I'm
straight (hat's (he piny. That h Ihc
play 1've been making in waiting, live
years se'ii they'd be sure 'there wasn't
nothing between us. New you listen
hard. l)nve. All xnu've linndnd Iho nci-
llee Is n frozen face, and that's (he right
stun ; but I get a dead straight tip
the.e're going te keep their wee en ydu
till hell's a skating pond! They're
going te get that money or else you
ain't! -8eu? Well, that's where I
stepped in. I gees te the right source,
and I seys t 'Loek here, you can't de
nothing with Dave. Let me have a try.
Maybe T can handle him. He worked
for me a geed many years, and I knew
him better than his mother would if
he had one. Hc'h stubborn, stubborn
as hell, nnd threats ain't any geed,
nor premises neither; but he tt n geed
boy, for nil that. Yeu let me have n
chance te talk te lilm privately, and
maybe I can make him come across and
cough up that money. Anyway. It won't
de' nny hnrm te try. I nlwnys liked
I'ave, nnd I don't want te see him
dodging the police nil his life. Tydo Tyde
man's dead, and, (heugh It. was really
Tydeinan's money. I was n pnrtner of
Tydcman 's, and if anybody en earth
can get tinder Have s shell, I can.' "
ISnekle put. his face closer te his own
particular atretch ,of wire netting. He
lowered his voice. "That's the reason
won't believe mc! Yeu think I'm try
inn te work vnu for half of thnt menev.

"Net ii damned bltl Hun along new

, "Yeu mean Oiat?" Hoekle Skarvan's
eyes were nuckercd Inte silts new. "Yeu
menu you're going te turn me down?"
i. Vs'" M,'(l Unve Hendersen.
'I 11 give you one mere chance,"
whispered Hkarvan.
"Ne!"
lloekle Skarvan's fat fingers squirmed
around inslde his cellar as though it
choked iinu
"All right !" His lips were twitching
angrily. "All right!" he repeated
ominously. "Then, by Cled, you'll
never get the mener even if veu beat

rrcsently I);ivn Hendersen found
himself barli in (lie carpenter shop
I'm here, and that's (he Tcnsen the

There was almost awe and admiration
in Dave Hendersen's oice.
"Yeu've get. your nerve with jeu!"
he said seftlv.
Iloeklo Hkarvmi chuckled in hit
wheezy way.
".Sum!" he snid complacently, "And
that's why we win. Yeu g''t tin- In,

He was whispering new. "Yeu

Hut they won't watch me! Yeu knew
mc, Dave. I'll mnke It a fair split

prison, these dnvs and nlchts and hours
of torment when he had been a wounded
thing hounded almost te death. Cer
tainly, he owed nil that te this man
here! The man had cunningly planned
te hve him disappear by the murder
route, hadn't he? And he owed lloekle
Sltarvnn for thnt tee! If It: liniln't heel.
for that he would hnve L'nl mwiiv with whether, en renehintr tin, nnvt cirn,,.i ;,

Dave? And 1 ee out of hern linv
and (ell the warden it nln't anv geed,
that I can't get you te talk. I guess
that leeks nifty enough, don't it,
Dave?"
There was a fly elimbing tip the wire
nettitijr. it zigzagged its eeurse ever
the little squares. It was a geed gamble
the no Ice I tlnrleratnnrl?
that I I made you a fair, straight offer
ieu ii nnd new thnt there'll he sonic
one else besides you nnd Ilnrjan out
for that coin and when the showdown
cornea it won't be either you or Itarjan
that gets it! And maybe you think
that's ii bluff, tee!"
"I never said T knew where the
money was," said Dave Hendersen
nnd smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Thercfore you ought te stand just, ns
geed n chance ns Unrjan or I. After
I get wounded I kind of lest track of
tliingt, you knew."
"Yeu He!" said Skarvnn fiercely.
"I I " He checked himself, bit
ing nt his lips. "I'll give you one mere
chance ngain. What's your Inst word?"
"Yeu've get it. lloekle," said Dave
Hendcrseij evenly.
"Then take mine!" Skarvan rasped.
"I'll go new and tell the warden you
wouldn't say anything. If jeu. try te
put a crimp in me by reporting my
offer, I'll say you lied. I don't mind
taking chances en my word being be
lieved against the word of n convict
nnd a thief who is known te be playing
tricky! Yeu get that? And after thnt
(Jed help you !"
The man was gene.
Presently, Dave Hendersen found
himself back in the carpenter shop. The
band-saw was shrieking, screeching
insanely again. lie had smiled In there
In the vioiters' room nt Hoekle Sknr
van : he had even been debonair and
I facetious he wasn t that way new.
I He could mask his face from ethers; he
couldn't mask his soul from himself. It
. vecmed as though his courage were be
' fng drained nwny from him, nnd in its

i crushing defeat. Hnrjan's blew et last
night had sent lum groggy te the ropes;
but the blew Hoekle Skarvnn had just
dealt had smnshed in under his guard
nnd hnd landed en an even mere vital
spot.
Sknrvan's veiled threat hadn't veiled
anything. The veil was only tee trans
parent! "(Jed help you !" meant n
let. It meant that, fnr mere dan
gerous te face. ttn mere difficult te
outwit than the police, there was new
te be aligned ngnlnst him the criminal
element of Sail Francisce. It meant
Haldv Ylckers and Ituuty Mett. and
IJnldy Ylckers' gang. It meant the!
men who had already attempted le mur
der him, and who would be eager enough
te repent that attempt for the same
stake $100,000. With Ihe police it
would hnve been, mere than anything
else, the simple thrust nnd parry of
wits; new, ndded te that, was n physl- I

feel would strive te minimize. There
were dives and dens In Ihc underworld
there, as he knew well enough, where a I
mnn would disappear from the light ei
day forever, und where tortures that
would put the devil's ingenuity te sliame
could be npplied te innke a man open
his lips. He was nel exaggerating! It
wns literally true. And If he were once
trapped he could epect no less than
thnt. They had already tried le murder
him once! Naturally, they had en
tered Inte his calculations before, while
he had been here fji prison; but they
had net seemed te be n very vltnl fac
tor. He had never figured en Hoekle
Hknrvnn setting (lint machinery In mo
tion again he had only figured en get
ting ills own hands en Hoekle Hknrv.nn
himself. Hut lie saw It new; nnd he
realized that, once started again, they
would step nt nothing le get thnt
money. Whether Hoekle Hknrvan would
hnve abided by his offer, en the basis
that he would get mere out of it for
himself that wpy, or whether It was
simply a play te discover the where
abouts of (lie money nnd thou divide up
with his old accomplices, did net mnt
(er; it wns certain new thnt Hoekle
Hknrvan would be content with less
rather llitin with none, and thai the
underworld would be unleashed en his,
Dnve Hendersen's, trail. The police
and new the underworld ! It was like
n pnck'uf wolves nnd n .nek of hounds
In chase frfcm converging directions nfler
the snme quarry; the wolves find the
hounds might claph together, nnd fall
upon one nnether but the qunrry would
be mnngled and crushed In the melee.
The afternoon were en. At times
Davn Hendersen's hands clenched ever
bis tools until It seemed (he tendons
must snap nnd brenk with ti strain
at times the sweat of agony oozed out
In drops upon his forehead. Hoekle
Skarvnn was right. He could net get
that money alone. Ne! Ne, that, was
wrong! He could get it alone, nnd he
would get it, nnd then fight for it, nnd
go under for It, all hell would net bold
him back from that, nnd Hoekle SSkar
aii nnd seme of the ethers would go
under, tee but he could net get nwny
with the money alone. And thnt nirnnt
that these five years of .m-isen, live
years of degradation, of- memories that
wiuseated lilm. five years thnt he had
wagered out of his Jlfc. had geno for
nothing! Ged. if he could only turn
te seme one for help! Hut (heic was
no one, net n soul en earth, net n
friend in (he world who renld aid him
except Millman.
And he couldn't ask Mlllmnn be
cause f wouldn't be fair te Millman.
His face must have grown haggard,
perhaps he wns actlr.rr atrnnirelv. " I il.t
Teny ever there had been e.isting :m-
leus glances in bis direction. He took
n grip upon bimsnlf. nnd smiled nt tin.
old bomb-thrower. The old llnllnu
looked pretty bad himself thnt pasty
whiteness about the phi fellow's, face
hnd n nnsty iippenrnnce.
Ills mind went e.iek (e Mlllr.iin,
working in queer, disconnected snntclics
of thought. Ile was going le lese Mill
man, tee Mlllmnn was going out
tomorrow It had nlwnys been n
relief te Inlk le Millman He hnd
never told Mlllmnn where the money was,
of ceurse, but Mtllnian knew what he,
Dave Hendersen, wns "In" for.
The library hour wasn't fnr off, nnd it
would help le tnlk te Mlllmnn new.
Onlj Mlllmnn wns going out to
morrow nnd he wns te bid Mlllmnn
geed-by. '
This seemed somehow the crowning
jeer of mockery thnt fnte was flinging
nt him that tomenow even Millman
would be gene. It seemed te bring n
snarl Inte his soul, tbe snnrl as of seine
gaunt, starving benst at bay, the snarl
of desperation films out in bitter, reck
less defisuce.
He put his hands te hlft fnce, and
beneath (hem his jawt clamped nnd
leikcd. They would n"ver beat htm,
he would go under first, hu but
' Time passed. The routine of the
prison life went en Hke the turning
of some great, ponderous wheel that
moved -.cry slowly, but ut the snme time
with a sort of smooth, oiled Immutnbll
ity. It reemwl thnt wny te Dave Hen Hen
dereon. He wns eonncteua of no definite,
details thnt tr.nrkcd or occupied the
passage of time. The library hour
l-.ni! rnme. lie wns oil his WUV te the I
library new with permission te get a
Loek, lie did net want n book, lie wns
going te see Mlllmnn, nnd, Ged knew,

AFTER Christmas always arises
the fascinating question, "What
i shall I buy with this Christmas
cnccK .' i nerc can never he any
doubt as te the supremacy of
Stcrline Silver as a lasting and prcci
eus possession. Bailey, Banks &
Biddle ( empany have a marvelous
collection of Dinner and Tea Sets
and Flat Silver, as well as beautiful
sinple pieces of endless ariety all
equally exquisite. There are skillful
reproductions of the Old English,
French and Colonial design, and
i replicas of the handsome old pieces
created by this Heuse when it wns
first established. A Silver Service
from Bailey's will be ene of the
things that the future generation
will cherish as its most prized heirloom.
ARE you annoyed by seeing the
top and bottom edges of your
spectacles or eye-glasses ? If se,
let me advise you te consider the
new-shaped lenses for veur next
j pair, made by Wall & Ochs, Opli-
l i-ians, 171(5 Chestnut Street. The
W. & O. round lenses are a decided
improvement en the narrow oval
type, en account of the increased
1 comfort and improved appearance.
I When you have your glasses adjusted
i by this firm you secure the services
I of their expert fitters, whobe many
yenrs of experience qualify them te
select the size and type of eye-
glass most suited te your face. The
bifocal is especially adapted te the
1 round lens and when far and near
lenses are required you will find the
1 Ultcx te be the last word in bifocal
I cfllciency.
rON'T spoil your geed time during
the holidays by worrying about
soiling your new dance frock or
slippers, because if you will send
them te Bargs, 11 1!1 Chestnut Street,
they will be able te clean them se
that they wi.ll leek quite new again;
nnd jeu will find their service te be
very prenipt and efficient. But thej
de net coiitine their work te women's
eletlie.s, there are many men who
.send their wearing apparel te Bargs'
constantly suits te be cleaned and
pressed, business uits and evening
suits, and remember te have that
white vest cleaned, tee. Bargs' also
have a remarkable dyeing establish
ment. It is often geed economy te
have an old pair of satin slippers
dyed black.
T WISH te disagree with the old
adage, "Fine feathers don't make
fine birds." In this age of psvcholegv
there can remain no doubt as te the
supereniciencj' of the well-groomed
man, who confident that his clothes
are beyond criticism, can devote all
his energies te his business. Such a
feeling always accompanies t li e
clothing puijeiiased at the stere of
MaeDenafd & Campbell, lim-HG
Chestnut Street. Their suits are,
well made from handsome, fashion-1
able materials: cheviets, tweeds, fin-'
ished and unfinished worsteds. Their
cut, which fellows the best style
gives n man that air of tas.tc and
distinction. Added te the appear
ance of the clothes is their durabil
ity, toil cannot make a mistake in
nurchnsiP" their wearing apparel,
