Sup- Crewe looked at him with ustenish- ""'Vhat's an abiurd suggestion," he Id. "Hew could she be" "I'll tell teu hew she could be," gli the colonel. "She has never been The charge' rri.ide against you is mat you nave wen in communica tion with Uie police; Is (hat true? with us when the Jnck made his appear ance. You'll grant that?" Crewe thought for a moment. "There you're wrong," lip said; "she was with us the night .Tack first came." The colonel was taken nbnrk. A theory which he had formed was de stroyed by that recollection. "Se she was. That's right, she was there I I remember he insulted her. nut I'm certain she's seen him since; I am certain she's been working hand in glove with him since. Who was the Jack who went te Yorkshire?" ' It was Crewe's turn te be nonplused. "Jack e' Judgment must be working With n pal," the colonel went en triumphantly, "and I suggest that that pal is Lellie Marsh." "That's a lie!" The colonel looked tip quickly. "Who said that?" he demanded harshly, Crewe shook his head. "It was net me," he said. "Was It you, Selby?" "Me?" said the ustenished Selby. "Ne. I thought it was you who until it. It came from your end of the table, colonel.'' The colonel get up. "There's nothing wrong here," he said. "I've get it!" It wni I'inte who spoke. "Did you notice anything peculiar about the voice, colonel?" he asked eagerly. "I did, the first time I heard it, and I've been wonder ing hew I'd heard It before, and just new it has struck me. It was a gramo phone voice!" A gramophone voice?" It sounds like a veice en a speaking marhlne." The colonel nodded slowly. , "New you come te mention it, I think yeu're right," he said. "It sounded familiar te me. Of course It was a gramophone voice." They made n careful search of the apartment, taking down every book from the big shelf In one of the alcoves, and turning the leaves te discover the hidden machine. With this Idea te guide them the search was mere com plete thnn It had been before. Every drawer in the desk was taken out, every scrap of furniture was minutely ex amined, even the innRslve legs of the coiencrs writing table were tapped. Crewe took no part in the search, but watched it with a slight smile of amusement, and the colonel, turning, detected. this. "What the devil are you grinning about?" he said. "Why aren't you helping, Crewe? You've get an in terest in the business." "Net such an interest that I'm going ie ioei areunu looping for a gramophone voice that gee off at ap propriate intervals," sdtd Crewe. "Doesn't It strike you that It would have te be n pretty smdrt gramophone te chip in at the right moment?" The colonel pondered' this a minute nnd then went back te his place at the table, mopping his forehead. "Pinte's right" he said. "The fel low has smuggled seme feel machine Inte the flat, and we shall discover It sooner or later. I don't knew hew he controls It. or who controls It" he loekcd'suspleiously at Crewe "or who controls It," he repeated. "Yeu said that before," said Crewe coolly. The colonel had something en his lips te say, but swallowed it. "We'll meet here tonight et eleven. I told I.ellle te come. New, Crewe," he said In a mero gentle tone, "you're In this up te the neck, and you've get te go through with It. After all, your life and liberty are at stake as much as ours. If Lellle's played us false we've get te be " "Lellie has net plqycd you false, colonel," said Crewe. His face was very pale, the colonel noticed. "I like that girl, and " , "Se that's it?" said the colonel. "A little love remnnee Introduced into our sordid commercial lives! "Maybe you knew whnt she's been talking te Stafferd King about?" Crewe did net immediately reply. "De you?" asked the colonel. "I knew she has been trying te get out of the country, te break with the gang, but that she has given you or any of us away is a He.' Mile's had a ret-1 he's get you sized right ,down 'te the ten life, nnd she's jUBt sick of It, that's ground I He's get you in half slsesl all. De you hlnme her?" "There's no question of blaming her or praising her," said the colonel patiently; "the qucctlen is whether we condemn her, or whether she still has our confidence; nnd thnt we shnll knew tonight. Yeu will be present, Crewe?" "I shall be present, you may be sure," snld Crewe, and there Wns n leek In his face which I'inte, for one, did uet like. Ixillle Gees Away It seemed te Swell Crewe that the scene was curiously reminiscent of n. trial In which he had once participated. The colonel, nt the end of the long table, sat aloof nnd apparently non committal, a vcritnble judge and a merciless judge nt that. Pinte sat at his right, Selby en the left, and Crewe himself sat halfway between the girl at the further end of the table, and Pinte. Ixillle Marsh had no doubt as te why she had been summoned. Her pretty face was drawn, the hands tfhleh were clasped en the table before her were restless, but what Crewe noticed mere particularly was n certain untidiness both in her cestume nnd in her usually wcu-celffurcd hair. As though weary ing of the part she had been playing," she was already dlscurdlng her make up. "I hnte te bring you here, Lellie, nnd ask you " these questions," the colonel wns saying, "but we are all In some danger nnd we want te knew just where we stand with you." She made no reply. "The charge ugnlnst yen Is that you've been In communication with the police. Is thnt true?" & "If you mean that I'vp been iiT com munication with Mr.. Stafferd King, that's true," she said. "Yeu told me te get 'after him. Haven't I been for weeks " "That's a pretty geed excuse," in terrupted the colonel, "but it won't work, Lellie. Yeu don't get after a man like Stafferd King and meet him secretly in St. .Tames street. And you don't get after him by seeing him for half an hour at a time, nnd I haven't heard of you ever getting nfter a fellow te the extent of his paying for your pnssage te America." She started. "Yeu knew the way it Is done. Yeu did It before, Lellie, the colonel went en. "New, you've get te be n geed girl and tell us hew far you've gene." She did net reply. "Come. I.ellle, said Pinte in his most engaging voice; "we don't mean you any harm, but we've get te leek nfter ourselves. What have you told -Stafferd King?" "I've told him nothing," said the girl ; "at least, nothing about you people. And whnt de you think I could tell him that he doesn't nlready knew?" Bhe asked scornfully.
