Crung Intend te go with his Insane, jealousy? Hew far would Crane dnre te go? The man wnsn t doped lenigm. Perhaps he wns even the mere danger ous en that account, lnstend of mouth -Ine threats, there was something emi neus new, It seemed, In the man's silence. Jehn Bruce s lips drew tegetner. lie remembered Claire's Insistence thnt Crnng had meant what he said literally and Clnlre had repented that warning ever the telephone. Well, If she were right, It meant murder. 'Frem under his half-closed lids, Jehn Bruce looked nreund the car. The cur tains, nH they nlwavs were, were clei-cly drawn. The interior wns lighted by thnt same soft ccntrnl light, only the light wub lilh up new nenr the reef of the car. 1cll, if It wns te be murder, why net new? The little velvet-topped table wns net in place, and there was nothing rjetween himself and thnt sneering, sal low fncc. Yes, whv net new nnd set tle it! He straightened almost Imperceptibly In his sent, as impulse suddenly hnde him Ming himself ferwnrd upon Crang. Whv net? The sound of n revolver shot would be henrd In the street, nnd Crnng might net even dare te fire at nil. And then Jehn Bruee's glnncc rested en the man bestde him and impulse gave wny te common sense. He hnd no Intention of submitting tamely nnd without i struggle te uny fate, no matter whnt it might be, that Crang proposed for him, but thnt struggle would better come when there wns nt least n chance. There was no chance here. Birdie, en the sent beside him, held n deadlier nnd cien mere effective weapon than was Crnng's revolver, a silent thing a blackjack. "Walt! Don't piny the feel! You'll get n better chance than this!" the voice of whnt he took te be common sense whispered te him. The enr began te go slower. It swerved twice ns though making sharp turns; and then, running still mere slowly, began te bump ever rough ground. Crang spoke again. "Yeu can make all the noise you want te, if you think it will de you nny geed," he said viciously : "but if you ninke a move you nre net told te make jeu'U be carried the rest of the way! Understand?" Jehn Bruce did net answer, The car stepped. Birdie opened the 1 tI i.l. .J .aV-rw1 -. l.n J UOOT en ilia niuu nun bu'ijii:ii iu uiu HawklnV had even renounced hi. pledge.

Jehn Bruce followed Birdie from the car. It wns dark out here, exceedingly dark, but he could make out thnt the enr had been driven into n narrow lane, nnd thnt they were cIuhe te the wall of a building of some sort. The two men gripped mm ny ins arms. ue felt the muzzle of Crang's revolver pressed into the smnll of his back. "Mind your step!" cautioned Birdie gruffly. It was evidently the entrance te a cellar. Jehn Bruee found himself de scending a few ehert steps; and then, en the level aealn. he was guided for ward through what was new pitch blnckness. A moment mere and they had halted, but net before Jehn Bruee's feet hnd come Inte contact with n wall or partition of some kind In front of him. One of the men who gripped his arms knocked twice with three short rnps in quick succession. A deer opened in front of them, and for an instant Jehn Bruce was blinded by a sudden glare of light ; but the next Instant, his eyes grown accustomed te the transition, he saw before him a large bnsement room, disreputable ami filthy In nppenrnnce, where half a dozen men sat nt table drinking and playing cards, A shove from the muzzle of Crane's revolver urged Jehn Bruce forward into nn ntmesphere that was foul, het and fetid, nnd thick with tobacco sraefcetbat flouted In heavy, sinuous layers In mid air. 1 Ic was led down the length of the room toward another deer at the oppe site end. The men at the tables, as he passed them, paid him little atten tion ether than te leer curiously at him. They greeted Birdie and bis companion with blasphemous familiarity; but their attitude toward uramr. it seemea te Jehn Bnife, was one of cowed and ab ject respect. ' Jehn Uruce s teeth closed nard to gether. This wns a nice place, an omi nously nice place a hidden den of the rnts of the underworld, where Crang was obviously the leader. He was net se sure new that the premptings of so se called common sense had been common sense nt all! His chances of escaping, practically hopeless as they had been in the enr, could certainly -have been worth trying In view of this! He began te regret his "common sense" bitterly new. He wns In front of the deer toward which they hnd been heading new. It wns opened by Btrdle, and Jehn Bruce wns mi shed into a small, dimly lighted. iae-like place. Crang eaid something in n low voice te the two men. nnd, leaving them outside, entered himself, closing the deer only partially behind him. Fer n moment they faced each ether, nnd then Crang laughed tauntingly, in mennce. Jehn Bruee's eyes, from Crang's sallow face, and from Crang's revolver, swept coolly ever his surroundings. A mnttrcra, a foul thing, lay en the ground In one corner. There was no flooring here In the cellar. A smnll In candescent bulb from the reef. There wns one chair and a battered table nothing else: net even a window. "It was like stealing from n child!" sneered Crnng suddenly. "Yeu peer mark!" "Quite se!" said Jehn Bruce calmly. "And the mere se ulnce I was warned that you were quite capable of mur der. I suppose that is what I am here for." "Oh. you were warned, were yen?" Crang took an abrupt step forward, his I lips working. mEUMiiiuaii'JiiiaiBiial B ASCO jP'lii ASCO iiircmn 1 A!

He was trapped nnd well trapped. Ue recognized the ether te be the man known ns Birdie, who hnd participated en a certain night in the robbery of Paul Veniza's safe. It was quite plain.

If it had been Birdie new who had brought the mes sage he would never have fallen Inte the trap! Crang hnd played in luck and wen by a very narrow margin, for Crang was naturally in tgnerance that he, Jehn Bruce, had ever been cither of the men before. And then Jehn Bruce thought of the bulky roll of bills which . . ,iic nnrrnw mnnrin was net in his pocket at that moment, nnd his gmlle deepened. Crang spoke for the first time. "Take his gun away from him, If he a get one!" he snarled tersely. "It's in the brenst pocket of my coat." said Jehn Bruce Imperturbably.
