The tliroe wore talking earnestly,
am! he was standing before them be
fore any of the croup marked his ap
proach. His eyes wore on Cavendish,
who Instantly arose to his feet, startled
by the man's sudden appcaracce.
"There is no use making a scene.
Burke," the big man said sternly, "for
my partner there has you covered."
"My name Is not Burki'; it Is Cav
endish."
"So I heard in Denver," dryly. "We
hardly expected to find you here, for
we were down on another matter. So
you are not Gentleman Tom Burke?"
"No."
"I know he is not." Interposed West
cott. "I have been acquainted with
this mnn for nearly twenty years; he
is a Now York capitalist."
"And who the h—1 are you—a pal?"
the fellow sneered. "Now. see here,
both of you. I've met plenty of your
kind before, and It Is my business not
to forget a face. This man is under
arrest." and he laid a hand heavily on
Cavendish's shoulder. ,
"Under the name of Burke? On
what charge?"
"Robbery, at Poughkeepsie. N. T.;
wanted also for burglary and assault
In Denver. My name is Roberts." he
added stiffly, "assistant superintendent
of the Pinkertoa agency: the man with
me N an operative from the New York
office."
Cavendish glanced past Roberts
toward Colgate, who stood with one
hand thrust in his side pocket.
"You know this man Burke?" he
asked.
"I saw hltn once; that's why I was
put on the case. You certainly gave
I me some hot chase. Tom."
| "Some chase? What do you moan?"
[ "Well. I've been on your trail ever
, since that Poughfeeepsie Job—let's see,
J that whs two months ago. You jumped
I first to New York city, and I didn't
really get track of you until the night

Pennsylvania depot. to whom I showed

trailed Viiii through Chicago, ilown Into
1 Mexico, and hack as far as Denver. It
wasn't hard because you always signed
' the same name."
"Of course: it's my own. You say
j you had a photograph of me?"
i! "A police picture; here it is if you
.' want to look at it—taken in Joliet."
j U'iMcoft grasped the sheet, and
' spread it open. It was Cavendish's
. face clearly enough, even to th«> close
ly trimmed heard and tile peculiar
I twinkle in the eyes. Below was print
'i ed a brief description, and this also
fitted Cavendish almost esartly.
"Weli," said Roberts, none too pleas
■ i autly, "what have you got to s^y now?"
[ "Only this." and the miner squared
! his shoulders, looking the other
i straight in the eyes. "Tills mnn a not
| Tom Burke, but I can tell you where
j Tom Burke is."
1 "Yes. you can!"
I "Yes. I can. I cannot only tell you.
but I can prove it." he went on earnest
| ly. "This description says that Burke
I had a small piece clipped out of one
, ear, and that he had n gold-crowned
tooth In front, rather prominent. This
man's ears are unmarked, and his teeth
are of the ordinary kind."
' | The two detectives exchanged
j glances and Roberts grinned sarcas
j tically.
' I "You'll have to do better than that,"
* he said gruffly.
^ "Ail right. Is there r.ny mention
!n tlmt description of n peculiar and
vlviil scnr on the chest of this nuiu
Burke? It would he spoken abont, l£
he had. any. wouldn't it?"
"Sure; they never overlook them
things."
"Good; unbutton the front of your
shirt. Fred."
The t«o stured nt the scar thus re
vealed, still iucredulous. yet unable
to refute the evidence of Its existence.
Huberts touched It with his Ongers to
better assure himself of Its reullty.
"Parti it all," he confessed. "This
bents h—I."
"It docs," coincided XVescott. "This
whole affair has been of that kind.
Now I'll tell you where Tom liurke Is
—lie lies burled in the Cavendish fam
ily lot In Brooklyn." .
ITe turned to Col pate, who stood with
mouth half open.
"You're from New Tork; ever henr
of the Cavendish murder?"
"Only saw a paragraph in the Chi
cago papers. It wasn't my case, and
the only thing that Interested me was
that the name happened to be the
same as assumed by the man I was fol
lowing—why?"
"Because this gentleman here Is
Frederick Cavendish, who was report
ed as killed—struck down !n his apart
ments on the night of April 1C. Instead
he took the midnight flyer West and
you followed him. The dead man was
Tom Burke: wait a minute and I'll tell
you the story—all I know of It, at
least."
He told It rapidly, yet omitting no
detail of any Interest. The two de
tectives. already half convinced of
their mistake, listened fasclnuted to
the strange narrative; It was a tale of
crime peculiarly attractive to their
minds; they culd picture each scene
in all Its colors of reality. As the
speaker ended, Itoberts drew In his
breath sharply.

"The fellow went la tliore after swag;
but who got him?"
"That is one question I can't an
swer." replied Westcott gravely, "anil
neither can Fred. It doesn't seem to
accord with the rest of our theories.
Knrlght told Lacy he didn't know who
the deud man was. or who killed him."
Miss I>onovan pushed ner way In
front of Cavendish, and faced the oth
ers Iter cheeks (lushed with excite
ment, a paper clasped In one hand.
"Perhaps I can help clear that up,"
she said clearly. "This Is the letter
found under Miss La Hue's bed. 1 have
read part of it. It was written by Jack
Cavt ndish just as he was taking a boat
for South America. It is not a confes
sion." she explained, her eyes search
ing their faces, "just a frightened boy's
letter. I wouldn't understand it at all
if I didn't know so much about the
case. What It seems to make clear is
this; The La Hue girl and Patrick En
right schemed to get possession of the
C'avend: it property through her mar
riage to John; this part of the pro
gram worked out fairly well, but John
could not get hold of enough money to
satisfy them.
"Ktiright and the girl decided to put
Frederick out of the way. but lacked
the nerve to commit murder—at least
in New York. Their scheme seems
to have been to iuveigle their victim
away from the city, and then help him
to got hilled through an accident. In
that case the law would award the tn
tire estate to John. They never told
John this plan, but their constant de
mands for money fairly drove the
young man to desperation.
"The making of the will, and the
suddi n proposed departure of Fred
erick for the west, compelled Immedi
ate action, yet even then John was
kept largely In the dark as to what
they proposed doing. All he knew was
that Frederick had made a will dis
inheriting him; that he left the Col
lege club with this document in his
I and Intended later to take a
night train."
She paused, turning the letter over
in her hands, and the men seemed to
draw closer In the Intensity of their In
terest. *
"Some of what I say I learned from
this letter," she went on quietly, "and
some I merely deduce from the cir
cumstances. I believe the boy went
home half mad. his only thought be
Ing to destroy that will. In this state
of mind, and fortified by drink, he
stole later into Frederick's apartments.
I don't believe the boy actually Intend
ed to murder his cousin, but he did In
tend to stun him with a blow from be
hind. s-ize the paper, and escape un
«een. It was a wild, hare-hrulned
project. but he was only a boy, half
drunk, worked into .frenzy by Celeste
La Rue. He got ir.tb the room—prob
ably through the hath room window—
unobserved, but after Frederick had
departed. Tills other man—Pttrke—
was then at the table, running through
I lie oauers he had taken {nun the
snrp, to see If nriy were or value. Jonn,
convinced the man was big cousin,
stole up behind him and struck him
down. He hnd no Idea of the force of
the blow delivered, and may even have
left the apartment without realizing
that the blow had been a fatal one.
Afterward there was nothing to do,
but keep still, and let matters take
their own course,"
"And what happened then?"
"Naturally this: the La Rue wom
an wormed the truth out of him, and
told Enrlght. From that moment the
boy was "entirely In their hands. While
they remained In New York they
helped blm keep his nerve, but as soon
as ho was left alone, he went entirely
to pieces. He wa9 no criminal, merely
a victim of circumstances. At last
something happened to frighten him
Into flight."
The four men straightened up as her
voice ceased speaking. Then Roberts
laughed. as though, ashamed of the
breathless Interest he had exhibited.
"I guess she's got that doped out
about right, Colgate," he said, almost
regretfully. "And It's clear enough that
we are ou the wrong trail. Anyhow
this man here Isn't Tom Burke, al
though he would deceive the very dev
il. 'What Is It, landlord? Am I ready
to eat? Just lead the way, and I'll
show you." He glanced about at the
others. "Any of you missed your sup
per? If so, we'd be glad to have your
company."
"I'll accept the Invitation," returned
Cavendish. "I wns asleep upstairs,
and fniled to hear the bell. Perhaps
you gentlemen can tell me wbat.step's
I'd better take In n case lite mine."
The tlireo passed out together, fol
lowing the guidance of Tlmmons, and
as the sound of their voices subsided
Into h confused murmur, W'estcott
glanced into the face beside him.
"You must be very tired, dear."
"I am tired, Jim," sho said, "but
I mustn't allow It. I have a big Job
on hand. Furris will want three thou
sand words of this and he'll want It
tonight, so that he can scoop the town."
"Scoop the town?" Westcott re
peated.

I this Cuvendish case is going to be my

Big Jim Westcott nodded silently
and took her arm In his and together
they went out Into the night.

I old tinier, for It's interesting, every
word of it—Miss Donovan is going to

Carson rubbed his eyes, sat up, gave
I ample greeting, got up, Ut another
lump, and tested his wire.
"East wire free as air, Jim," he said,
