Sir Stanley Helcem read , the name and raised his eyebrows. 1 "Shew him In," he said; and for the Kcenil time the colonel wasjishcrcd Inte 5 the presence of the chief. f "Well, colonel." said Sir Stanley, " "this Is rather n dreadful business." r "Terrible, terrible l" said the colonel, ihnklnfi his head. "Solemon White was one of my best friends. I've been searching for him for C"Se I've heard," Mild Sir Stanley dryly. "Have 'ou nnv theory?" "Nene whatever." "What about this man cnlicd Raeul? Is he unknown te you?" asked Sir Stanley. "That's whnt I ve come te see you bout fclr," said the colonel In a con fidential tone.

The colonel nodded, and for a few moments Sir Stanley communed with ' his well-kept finger nails. "I don't think It will de nny harm If I tell teu that Is my theory nls,e, Colonel Boundary," he said, "and, ivine confidence for confidence, would ieu have any objection te telling me whether Kneul is one of your er business associates?" ,.,,,., , There was just the slightest shade of Irony In the last two words, but the colonel preferred te Ignore It. "I'm very glad you nsked me that nuestien. sir," he said with a sigh, se Salpably a sigh of relief that the record In. angel might be excused if he were eeceled. "I have never been Raeul 'before. In fact, my knowledge of r..hmiin Is n very small one.

"Yeu de net knew him?" asked Sir Stanley, after a pause. "I have never seen him In my life," fin Id the colonel. Again Sir Stanley examined his fin gcV nntls as though searching for some flaw. "Then you will be surprised te learn," he drawled at IaBt, "that you sat next te him In the cooling room of the Ylldlas Turkish Baths." The colonel's heart missed a beat, but he did net flinch. "Yeu surprise me," he said "I have only been te the Turkish Baths once during tnc Inst three months, and that was yesterday." Sir "Stanley nodded. "According te my information, whlcb was supplied te me by my very able assistant, Mr. Stafferd King, thnt was also the morning when ltaeul was seen te enter that building." "And he snt next te me?" said the colonel incredulously. "He sat next te you," said Sir Stan ley,, with evidence of enjoyment. "Well, that is the most amazing coincidence," exclaimed the colonel, "I have ever met with in my life! Te Imagine that that scoundrel sat shoulder te shoulder with me geed heavens 1 It makes me het te think about "It." "I was afraid It, would," said the first commissioner. He pressed the bell, and his secretary came in. ' "See If Mr. Stafferd King Is in the building and tell him te come te me, please," he said. "Yeu sec, colonel, we were hoping that you would supply us with a great deal of very uspful in formation. We naturally, thought it was something mere than n coincidence thnt tills man and you should fercgnthcr at a Turkish ba'th--a most admirable rendezvous, by the way." "ieu may accent my weru et noner. said Colonel Beundnry Impressively, "that I had no mere idea of that man's presence, or of his Identity, or of his very existence than you had." Stafferd King came In at that mo ment,, nnd the colonel, noting the hag gard face and the leek of care In tlie dark-lined eyes, felt a certain amount of satisfaction. "I've just been telling the colonel about his meeting in the Turkish baths," said Sir Stanley. "I suppose there is no doubt at ull as te that happening?" "Nene whatever, sir," said Stafferd shortly. "Beth the colonel nnd this mun were seen by Sergeant Living stone." "The colonel suggests that it was n coincidence, and thnt he had never spoken te the man," said Sir Stanley. "What de you sny te. that, King?" Stafferd King's lips curled. "If the colonel seya se, of course it must be true." , "Sarcasm never worries me," said the colonel. "I'm always getting into trouble and I'm always getting out again. Give n deg a bad name and " He stepped. There arose in his mind n mental picture of a man swinging in an underground kitchen, and in spite of his self-control he shuddered. "And hang him, eh?" said Sir Stan ley. "New I'm going te put matters te you very plainly, colonel. There have been three or four very unpleasant 'JUDGMENT .

There has been the denth ei tne cnict witness ler tne crown against you; there has been the death of this unhappy man White, who was closely associated with you in your business deals, and who has recently broken away from you, unless our In formation is inaccurate; there Is the death of Raeul, who was seen seated next te you nnd apparently carrying en a conversation behind a fan." "He never speke n word te me," protested the colonel. "Andrwe hnve the dlsnppearnhce of Miss White, which Is one of the most Important of happenings, because we have reason te believe that Miss White, nt any rate, is still alive," said Sir Stanley, taking no notice of the Inter ruption. "Newj colonel, you may or may net have the key te all these mysteries. Yeu may or may net knew who your mysterious friend, the Jack e' Judgment " "He s no friend of mine, by Heaven !" said the colonel, nnd neither mnn doubted that he spoke the truth. "As I say, you may knew all tbese things. But principally nt this mo ment we are anxious te secure authentic newa concerning Miss White. Beth I and Mr. Stafferd King hnvc particular reasons for desiring information en that subject. Can you help me?" The colonel shook hiB head. "If by spending a hundred thousand pounds I could help you, I would de it," he said fervently, "but ns te Miss White and where she is, I am as much at sea as you. De you believe that, sir?" "Ne," said Sir Stanley truthfully; "I don't." Swell Crewe Backs Out The colonel left Scetlnnd Yard with a sense thnt he had spent the morning net unprefltnbly. It was his way te beard the lien in hlu den, nnd, after all, the police department was no mere formidable than any ether pueuc de partment. He spent the morning quietly in Pinte's llat, making certain preparations. The workmen were doing a thorough job with his damaged wall, as he found when he looked In, nnd the horrible odor had almost disappeared. It was te be a much-longer job thnn he thought. It had been necessary te cut away and replnce the plaster under the paper, for the infernal mixture had soaked deep. Still the colonel had plenty te occupy his mind. What he culled his legiti mate business had been sadly neglected of late. Reports had come in from nil i-orts of agencies, reports which might by careful study be turned te the greatest advantage. There was the affair of Lady Glenmcrrln. He had been months accumulating evidence of thnt lndy's marital delinquencies, and new the iron was ready te strike and he simply had no Interest in n deal which might very easily transfer th famous Glenmcrrln farms te bis charge at a nominal figure. And there were ether prospects as alluring. But for the moment the colo nel was mainly interested In the stock value of Colonel Dan Boundary and the possibility of violent fluctuations. He was losing grip. The story of Jack e' Judgment had circulated with amazing rapidity by all manner of un derground channels, te people vitally concerned. Crewe, who had been a standby in almost every big coup he had pulled off, was as stable as pulp. LEDQERr-PHIIDELPHIA, "TUESDAY, - -1 ' - By Edgar Wallace 1 White, his right-hand man, was dead. nnte well, rinte weuin go "" ;w,J way just when It suited him. He had no doubt whatever as te Plnte'a loy alty. Silva had big estates In Portugal, te which he would retire just when, things wcrs getting warm and interest ing. Moreover, the British government could net extradite Pinte from his na tive land. .. ,., The colonel found himself regretting that he had missed the opportunity of tnklng up American citizenship during the seven yenrs he had spent In San Francisce. And what of Crewe? Crewe was te reveal himself most un mlstnkably. He enme In In the laic afternoon nnd found the colonel word ing through the litter en his desk. "Hoye you Bthrted your search at Oxford?" asked the colonel. "I've sent two men. down there the best men In Londen," replied Crewe. He drew; up a chair te the desk and flung his hat en a near-by couch. "I want te have a little talk with you, eolencl. Boundary looked up sharply. "That sounds bed," he snjd. ."What de you want te talk, about the weather?" "Hardly," said Crewe. A little pause, and then he anneunced: "Colo nel, 1m going te quit."
