Yet the men realisation of hat hetpiessneas turned his thought away from the major problem. He gared at Summers' sturdy houlders and overslsed bead. "What did you say the charge was, Summers?" "Murder!" Summers looked at him s if he thovujbt the question peculiar. 'The murder of Mrs. Ferryman." "Oh! I suppoaa you have found a few more cigar bands?" "No.' The captain made a wry face. The cigar band didn't mean much. s'Mlher did the pearls though, it was user you should know esacllr where ey were. It's something stronger. I've ;ot the real goods on you this time." The car bumped Its way over a rough spot In the street. "Indeed?" said Dale. "What Is It? An eyewitness to the crime?" "No. but something Just as gcod. It will mean the chair, Dale." Sum mers Jerked up hla shoulders as If to stifle an emotion of which he waa ashamed. "I have the murdered wo man's word for it that you killed her." Dale sat aa If stunned for a moment. The car sleekened Its speed. Tbey came out of a dark block, and now they slowed down before a building with many lighted windows. tThe murdsrid woman's word?" Dale esalalmed ' Tea.- Mrs. Ferryman.

Ilk Lfaqe was broad, and looked as If K nad been carved out of a block of wood, and th; little caterpillar mus. tacbe under his nose seemed grotesquely misplaced. He had an Immense head utterly bald, that eurred into a peak at the top. "Mr. Oosaler, of the District Attorney's office." said Summers. "You take him. Mr. Dossier." The captain dropped Into a chair at Dale's aide. At a nod from Oosaler the handcarts were removed from the prisoner's wrists He stretched hi. hands to ee the strain In the muscles wnile he looked La to Oosaler'a small. crafty, yellowish fyes. A clock waa tic king on the wall. Halt past 11. Adele aaue was speeding toward her fate now, brave and confident in the be lief that Dale was not far away. He stilled a groan.

"Summers." be spoke, "I don't know what new evidence you think you have :cund againat me, but It'a a frame-up. Thafa a positive fact. You will rea-lire it before long.
