THIRD INSTALLMENT Dr. Moffett "As I told you," came from the chair beyond the rosewood table. "I 'am Doctor Mbffett. I suppose my name Is unfamiliar to you?" Adele nodded. "Then," said Doctor Jloffett, "in order that we may become better acquainted, let me tell you a little something about myself. The title that precedes my name is mjr rightful property. I was once a practicing physician specialising in diseases of the eye. The name Itself doesn't matter so much. Names mean so little these days. "Years ago I dropped the prac Thats one ,mson why I don't wish you tb jee my faee, and that alone would be sufficient. There's anajjieiy. however. You might re-ecghlie me If you should ever see me. and that would be very unfortunate for both of us." lit laughed again, and this time the laugh sounded less pleasant than on the former oc casion. "Yes, It would be very unfortunate for both of us," he repeat" ed, as if he wished to stress the point. "Hut we needn't worry about that. I am very careful not to show wy face indiscriminately. You are rot nervous nowr ? "Not In the least," Adele a-urd hjm. straining the. truth. "Fine! We are going tb have ft practical talk, you and I, and that will require mental poise. Dp you know, I never feel quite at ease except in a green light like this. It is the only, kind of light that resto my nervee. Green soothes them, while most other1 colors irritate then), "Did yqu happen to know that there is a seiirate nerve for rnch primary color? Wei), there is.

Now, I am afflieled with a nervous ailment that has affected the nerves for blue and red so that these colors Irritate mo.

Adele was growing a trifle im patient. It saemH Innir you. Doctor Mofiett remarked. a a vrv very they will find him, but I rather think they will fail, unless I should tell them where to look. They are on his trail now, but it Is a badly twisted trail.

The auth this partner scattered here and there, but so far they have been unable to learn who he it, although he has been mentioned In the newspapers as 'the mysterious Sir. Graves.'." Adele' started sharply, though ahe had been in a measure prepared. She had an uncomfortable sensation that a pair of keen eyes was looking straight at her out of the velvety green mist that covered the speaker's face. "I see the name is familiar to introduction.

We can't have a satisfactory discussion unless you feel wholly comfortable. You are more comfortable already, aren't you?" "Yea, Pr.

I have spoken this way only in order that we may understand each other better. Now we Bhall talk about something else. You have probably heard pf Daniel Forrester?" "I I think so," Adele stammered. The newspaper headlines she had seen at breakfast that morning flashed back into her mind with sharp vividness. Forrester's Partner "We can dispose of Forrester in a few words. He was a man somewhat like myself ambitious, hard, aggressive and ruthless where his own interests were concerned a man who scoffed at laws and conventions. It was his ambition to be rich. To realize that ambition he organized one of the greatest and most In genious swindling schemes the human brain has ever conceived. "In a little while less than a year he massed together ten millions. He would have piled up a hundred millions if he had lived and could have avoided complications with the law. While he lived he was lucky. The tuthoritles didn t become cogni zant of the illicit nature of his operations until three weeks after his death." A new dread took hold of Adele, succeeding the sense of weirdnesa he hadrxpcrlencrd. she thought she could ue the trend of Dr. Moffett'a remarks. You see, Miss Castle, was shrewd and subtle en ough to make a crooked game ap pear straight. And so ha contin. .until, he died. Then a storm broke. Hundreds of victims bet gan to squeal and whine. An examination of Forrester's dupll' cate books told the story. "But it whs too late to punish Forrester. A dead man can't be brought before a jury. Yet somebody haI t5 be punished. The whlnera had to be pacified a pack of greedy, yellow-livered fools who howled for vengeance when they discovered they had bit into a gold brick. A scapegoat had to be found."

Mysterious Mr. Graves The semiannual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Knickerbocker Finance Corporation had been a stormy one. Several members had mutinied against the lately adopted policies of the chairman, Virgil Ellsworth Castle. Heated invective and sharp retorts had passed along the mahogany table, disturbing the decorum of a severely plain room bordered by sound-proof walls and sanctified to wejghty deliberations. Otherwise dignified gentlemen in frock coats had for gotten they were gentlemen Faces had flushed and voices had risen above the limits of good behaviour. It had been the most. turbulent meeting in the hwtor of the corporation. It was over now. Mr. Castle had returned to his private of fice, furnished in the manner -of hnaSSIcttl drgnlty'that became his position. He adjusted the flower in his buttonhole and mopped his face. A smile played about his lips as he stood at a window looking out over the harbor with its argosies from many lands. It had been a good fight. Ho, had thrown all his strength and the full force of his personality into it. His voice had alternately coed and thundered. He had cajoled and bluffed; his tongue hnd-lattered -nnd lashed, as- the occasion required. He had leaped from playful satire to vitrolic de nunciation. And in the end he had won. It had been a victory for Mr. Castle and his faction.
