grim line, his hands working nerv-
ously behind
There was no
say. He had put all the
of his rage into that one word.
“Aw, go to Hell! I'm damned
sick. That dirty little chippy, she
almost brained me.” Chuck rubbed
his head tenderly, making a slight
grimace of pain as he touched his
swollen eye.
The Professor laid a heavy hand
on the boy’s shoulder and jerked
him to his feet. “You louse," he
snarled. “Can’t you leave the
dames alone? Where the hell were
you anyhow? If you’d been around,
things might have been different to-
night”
“Aw, what the hell are yon beef-
ing about? I tell you I got crowned
by a jane—knocked out cold."
Chuck Jerked himself away from
the Professor, thrusting aside the
restraining hand on his shoulder.
He paused; then he frowned.
“What was the matter tonight?
Didn’t the deal go through?”
“Sure, they knock off the trick
all right, and then the bolls chase
them and they throw it over the
roof of the sheds so it will come
down right on the street. The dicks
have it by this time. We haven’t
got-”
The Professor turned sharply as
the door opened, letting in a sudden
streak of grayish light along with
Lefty. He hurried into the room,
a bulldog edition of a newspaper in
his handsi
“Well, what a fine bunch of saps
you are." He turned on the two
accomplices of the robbery. "Look
here!” He held out the paper.
“Whadda you know about this!”
The four men gathered round, gaz-
ing at the startling headlines that
spanned the top of a page. “Girl
held as accomplice in daring hold-
up,” they road. “Bobbed-haired
bandit captursd with bank satchel.
Iron washers and poker chips found
in place of money." Beneath the
headlines, staring them In the face,
was a picture of Rose with a cap-
tion containing her description and
denial of any knowledge of the
robbery.
“Well, I’ll be damned!” Chuck

at the photograph, “"hat’s the
chippy that tried to croak me.” He
turned to his companions In bewild-
erment
“Well, what the—” The .Profes-
sor was scanning with Intent in-
terest the story of the hold-up and
the finding of the fake money. He
frowned, and then he began clump-
ing up and down the floor, his
behind his back.
First of all he felt sure that his
plans for the hold-up had been car-
ried through without a hitch. That
left hla fellow-conspirators clear.
Secondly, he knew that Mug and
Sparrow were telling the truth—
they wouldn’t dare to tell anything
else, and, besides, It wouldn’t do
them any good, because they had,
by their actions, lost their share
of the loot. Chuck had not been
on the scene of the robbery—he
had been “out,” so he said. Then
there was only one person who ac-
tually knew where that money was
now, and that person was this Rose
Shannon, a dancing girl in Kelly’s
Cafe.
“See here," he turned abruptly
on the youthful gangster who was
trying to assuage the hurt eye with
cold water. "What do you know
about this Jane—this Rose Shan-
non?” he demanded.
“I know plenty—now,” Chuck
moaned.
“No wise cracks!” the Professor
returned sharply. “This is serious
business. I’m going to find that
money or know the reason why.
Now you come across and give me
the low-down on thi3 baby. There’s
something phoney here, and we're
going to know what ‘it is. What

CHAPTER VI—Continued
Groups of old books with musty
bindings, their edges frayefl and
torn, were piled about carelessly
in corners, while behind the con-
glomerate mass a long tapestry
hung, concealing the interior of the
store.
Stray beams of light trickled Into
the shop from the barred door and
were quickly loet in the contrasting
brightness of electricity that
brought out a soft glow of color
from the faded Oriental rug on the
floor. To the rear of the room was
a long, carved teakwood desk, be-
side which stood a base burner
stove. All about the walls hung a
collection of prints—Chinese. Japa-
nese, Persian, Indian—interspersed
with brilliantly colored wall drapes.
Huge carved chairs reared their
high backs against ancient tapes-
tries, figured with unusual designs.

mCant you leave the dames alone f”
In the midst of this heterogene-
ous collection, a tall, gaunt man in
a long frock coat moved restlessly
about, striding up and down the
room. A slight limp made one foot
fall slightly heavier than the other,
suggesting the sound of a wooden
leg thump—thumping back and
forth. His face was twisted into a
cruel smile; his hands were clench-
ed, and now and again he muttered
to himself, takfhg no notice of the
two other occupants of the place.
Finally, when he could no longer
contain himself, he turned upon his
companions, his clenched fist beat-
ing the air. “Fools, Imbeciles!
Two hundred grand thrown away!
Oh, you white livered rats!” His
whole body shook in the intensity
of his anger.
“It wuz all Chuck’s fault” The
Mug turned a cowardly face on his
accuser. “If he’d a showed up, we’d
a got away wlf de haul K. O. He
wuz wlf dat dame of his.”

gorillas, you could have made a
get-away so clean and easy, I hate
to think of it” The FTofessor spat
out his words vigorously, still
clumping up aud down, his wooden
leg sounding a muffled beat on the
carpet
“Yea, wif de hulls creepin’ np on

rupted. “You didn’t t’ink I wuz
