uence Is not going to count In
this game.”
Grainnht tbok down the receiver,
called long distance, and put In a hur-
ried call for the executive mansion,
asking for the governor in person.
"So you think that he's immune from
Influence, do you?” Jachln Fall smiled
patronizingly and lighted a fresh cigar.
The chief of police was mopping hit
brow.
“My dear ‘GraWlontc you exhibit i-t
routhful confidence In human nature!
Let me topple your clay-footed Idol
from tta pedestal In a hurry. Mention
to the governor that you have m« un-
der arrest, and that l have asked him
t* speak with Jmige Forester ana sen-
ator Flaxmiui before confirming the ar-.
rest. I’ll wager you five hundred jlaP
lars—" \ .
The telephone rang sharply. Taunt-
ed almost beyond endurance, Oramont
seized the Instrument and made an-
swer. In a moment he hod the gover-
nor on the wire, ills guze went ex-
ultantly to Fell.
"Governor, this is Henry Oramont
speaking,” he said. I've Just succeed-
ed lu my work, as 1 wired you this af-
ternoon—no, hold on u minute] Tide
la Important.
"The hem) of the entire gang is a
man here In New Orleans by the name
ef Jacnln Fell. Yes. Fell. 1 find '»
very hard to get Idm arrested. Fell
boasts that his lufluetice Is superior to
any that I can bring to hear. He uska
that you speak with Judge Forester
und Senator Flaxman before confirm-
ing the arrest, and boasts that you will
order me to keep my hands off.
“Spenk with them, governor! If
they’re In the gang, too, don’t you
worry. You confirm this arrest, and
I’ll put Felt behind the bar* If I have
to turn all New Orleans Inside out.
Go ahead! I know you can’t be
reached by any of these crooks—I’m
merely calling Fell’s bluff. W* liave
the chief of police here, and he’*
sweating. Eh) Sure. Take as long
ns you like, governor."
He smiled grimly at Jachln Fell ns
he waited. Two minutes passed—
three—four. Then he heard the voice
of the governor nguln.
“Year
“Don’t arrest him, Oramont.’*
“What?” Gramont gasped.
"Dqa’t touch him, I said! Get In all
the others, no matter who they ate,
but leaye Fell alone—”
, “You d—d coward!" shouted Gru-
roont. In a beat of fury, "So thla la
the way you keep your promises, 1* It?
And I thought you were above all In-
fluences — real American! You’re a
h—1 of a governor—oh, I don’t want
to hear any more from you.”1'
He Jerked np the receiver.
There was a moment of dead alienee
In the room. The chief mopped hie
brow. In evident relief. Jachln Fell
sift bark in hla chair and scrutinized
Gramont with bis tldrf-llpped smile.
Gramont sat helpless, wrung by cha-
grin. rage and Impotency. There we*
nothing he could say. nothing he could
do. The man behind him had failed
him. The entire power of the state,
which had been behind him, had failed
him. There wa* no higher power to
which he could appeal, except the
power of the federal government. Hi*
head Jerked up Sharply.
“Fell, I’ve got evidence on you, and
I’ve get the evidence to put this lot-
terjt.t**lnes»ii»to federal $«nds, Rm*!
come In hero!”
-A* hla shout the door opened and
two of hla men entered. Gramont
looked at th* chief.

“A11 right Boys, turn over the
whole crowd to the chief, and I’ll trust
you to see that they’re properly
booked and Jailed. Turn over all th*
evldenee likewise, except that mail
sack. Have that brought up here, to
this, room, and see that the corridor
outside la kept guarded. Get me?”
TJie two saluted. “Yes, air.”
“Good. Send to the federal build-
ing, find ont where there’s i an agent
of the Department of Justice, and get
him here. Have him here inside of
flfteen minutes.”
“My dear Gramont. yonr devotion
to duty to Roman In spirit," said Ja-
chln Fell, lightly. "I really regret that
circumstance* ao conspire to defeat
you! Why can’t you be satisfied with
bagging so maey other victims? To*
can’t bag me—”
“Can’t IF’ said Gramont, taking a
cigar and biting at it. He waa cooler
now. "By heavens, Fell, there* one
thing In thla country that yon and no
other man can reach with any Influ-
ence, political bribery or'crooked con-
nections—and that’s the government
of the United States! You can reach
judge* and senators and governors,
but you can’t reach the unknown and
humble men who carry the badge of
the Department of Justice!*’
Fell made a slight gesture.
“Human nature, my dear Gramont.
It Is quite true that I have not estab-
lished thla gang of criminals, aa yog
call them, without taking proper pre-
cautions. Memphis Izzy, for Instance,
has Influence that reaches far and
wide. So have I. So have others In
the party I give you my assurance
that your Department of Justice man
will not arrest me.”
Gramont phled.

"Incle wttt b* here at any minute
now," he observed. “I suppose your
sense of duty will force you to dis-
close everything to her?"
Oramont merely podded, tlpht-
Itpped. . A knock at the door, and one
of Ms men entered with the snek of
mall they \had taken ns evidence.
“A lady la coming here at any mo-
ment.” said Oramont. “Allow her to
enter."
The other saluted and departed.
“A sense of duty la a terrible thing,"
and Jachln Hell sighed. ■ “What about
the oil company? Are you going to
let Miss Ledanola’ fortunes go to
wrack and ruin?’’
“Better that," said Gramont, “than
to have her profit come through erlml.
nal money and mean*. .She'd, be the
first to aay so. herself. But I’ll fell
you this: I’m convinced that there !*

Gramont."
A trembling seized Gramont; a fi».
rlous Impulse to shoot the man down
as he out. Did he have the Imseness
to try and save himself through Lu-
cie? Something of Ids stifled anger
must have shown In his eyes, for Ja-
chln Fell laid down hla >-lgar and con-
tinued quickly;
“Don’t misunderstand. 1 sa.v that I
think she cures for you; It Is merely
surmise on my part. Luele Is one per-
son for whom I’d do anything. I stand
and have stood In the place of a par-
ent to her. She Is very dear to me.
I have a special reason for Intruding
OP your personal affairs In this man-
ner, and some rigid-to ask you In re-
gard to your intention*."
“I don’t recognize ady right what-
ever on your part,” said Gmmont,
steadily.
Fell amlled. “Ah! Then you are In
love. Well, youth must be served!”
•Td like to know one thing,” struck
In^lramnnt. “Tlmt la, why you were
ao cursed anxious to get something on
my man Hamifcond! And why you
held the Midnight Masquer affair over
me aa a threat. Did you suspect my
business?"
Fell threw back hts head and
laughed In a hearty amusement that
“That” he responded, ”»• realiy hu-
morous! Do you know, I honestly
though’ you a fortune-hunter from
Europe? There, I confess, I made a
grave error.".
Without a knock the door opened
and Lucie Lertanolx entered.
“Good evening, stockholders!” sh*
exclaimed. "Do you know, there’s a
crowd down In the streetr—policemen
and automobiles and a lot of excite-
ment?1"
