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. " hy, I'inte,
