"Why that is just what the old fat geezer was saying we would -do," axe elaimed,the girl to herself. "Why he ain"t no better than a common thief and murderer. I wonder if they all believe like that. 'Chet ain't what believe. I wonder' if vin a sucker," Her reflections were cut short by a rat -tat -tat at the door. Dropping the paper to the floor, she jumped from the bed whore she had been lying and sprang to the dor. Far a moment the thought had flashed, through her mind that it was Vogel, come to ex- plain hie delay. Then she remember- ed that he had teld her once never to open her door without ascertaining who was outside. He had explained that her beauty and the fact that she lived alone might tempt some un- scrupulous man. She knew that it was not Vogel who had knocked, so she paused in. the act of opening the door and demanded to know who stood without. .

Louie Vogel, a notorious criminal, is offered $5,000 by Lebrun to kidnap Judge Graham, terror of evil -doers. As Lebrun leaves "Silver Danny's" saloon, he is observed by Ralph Charlton of the Department of Just- tice who has dubbed Inns "The Gray Wolf." Vogel takes the $1,000 given him to bind the compact to Stella Lathrop, a country girl he 'had found starving in the city and befriended. Stella is now earning honest wages in a factory and refuses to marry Vogel -unless he gives up his' evil ways. She Ens, however, fallen, a convert...to Bolshevism. Vogel carries out his Pact. judge Graham lies bound in a shack seine miles oat of the city, "The Gray Wolf" demand's that the Judge should let certain prisoners off with merely efil fine. Threats of death for himself and torture fii'T his son have no weight with the just Judge. Charlton becomes waspleicrus of "The Gray Wolf" and Vogel. Stella Lathrop joins the Inner Council. CHAPTER VI. Charlton Gefn a Clew. Ch.a.rhon found a clew which con- vinced him 'he was on the right trail ,the next clay. As soon as sleep had irateetored hint, he reported to his thief that he had what he believed was a good line to follow. 'Get out and follow it, then," snap - Reel that harraseed individual. "You're the fiftieth or the five hundredth man. I don't recall which, who has told me the same thing since Judge Graham dropped out of sight. I've had theories and tips which didn't pan out, dinned to my ears until Ins fairly insane. e don't want to listen to anything ex- cept facts. Unless you've gat them, ro en and work on any line you wish." "I'm to use my, atim judgment'?" "Yes." Then the chiefs irritation v•-aneshed. He put an arm around C3hariton's shoulders. "My nerves are pretty ragged, son. I'm dead for ideal), After I've got them normal again I'll listen to you. In the mean- ie if you think you have a good basis to work on, go to it. If you ;need help, call me on the private wire to the house. Unless I hear from you take it for granted that you are doing something worth while. In any event, call me whenever convenient, but not until tomorrow. I'm going to sleep the clock around. Now run on." J Be playfully shoved the agent to- ward the door, yawned and began 'closing down his desk. Charlton de- litarted. Convinced in his own mind that i''The Gray Wolf' and "Big Louie" !Vogel were in some way connected !with the disappearance of Judge Gra- ham, the Government man decided to [veryboth of them. He had been given a carefully lay a trap for one or ifree hand by his chief and he cast !about for the best means of keeping. Iback of his men. He did not know the city's underworld himself. Usually be had been in the habit of getting the assistance of the police where his work called for investigation in the haunts of the city's crooks. So it was to the office of Inspector of Detectives Griffin that he at once turned his ,ateps, certain that from that very 'clever detective he would obtain every lint of co-operation asked. He had done ,Griffin a goad turn on more than one Geoasion and he knew the inspector was more than eager to repay him. His card gained him instant admit- tance to the inspector's office. ! "Hello, Billy," he greeted the police official. "I've come to you for help, Beg pardon, I didn't know you were mi. alone." He paused abruptly, for he 'had discovered a haggard looking, well dressed young fellow slumped into la chair in a corner. "I wouldn't be surprised that your two visits might be connected," said Griffin. "I want you to meet Judge Graham's son, Alfred, Lieutenant Gra- ham of the Aviation Carps. One of the leading aces, you know." "Yes, I have read a great deal about Lieutenant Graham," replied Charlton, touched by the appeal in the young aviator's bloodshot eyes as he rose to shake hismds. "And my visit was to do with his father." "Have you any news? My father! Has he been found?" Young Graham seized the agent's -hand in, a fervid clasp. -"Steady, old man," replied Charlton. "We haven't found him, but think I b,ave a good line.

He released Charlton's hand and dropped back into his chair. "I am fed up on theories My father missing three days and not a single thing to show what has be- come of him. And you have nothing but theories." Then he recovered him- self, "I beg your pardon, Mr. Charl- ton, and yours, Inspector. I am great- ly wrought up over the matter. I didn't mean to infer that you and all the others were not doing your very best to find him. I know you are and I thank you. But my father and I are very close. It would kill me to learn that harm had come to him. He is an old man, gentlemen, and God only knows what has happened to him." "That's all right, Lieutenant," soothed Griffin. "I'll admit that we haven't learned very much, but some- thing must turn up soon, and I have no doubt we will find your father not harmed in the least. Now, my ad- vice to you would be to go. home and have a good rest. We will notify you promptly if we learn anything." "No. No," the young flier protested. "First I must know What Mr. Charlton has that is promising." "Very little, I am afraid," admitted the Government man and proceeded to give them the reasons why he suspect- ed Lebrune and Vogel of knowing something concerning Judge Graham. "It isn't very much," agreed Griffin when he had heard the story. "What's your plan, Ralph?" Graham had not commented upon the matter. "If you can spare a few men I want two things done, said Charlton. "I want every effort made to learn where Vogel has gone, where he has been for several days and I want Lebrune shadowed night and day. By the way, he has a 11104,01' car, a rakish looking roadster and the very devil for speed. It would be my tip to have a motor- cycle man, planted around the corner to trail him. when he drives it. But that motorcyle man enust Jest if he keeps up with this bird." "Ail right." The inspector of de- tectives promptly agreed to the plan. "You don't want either of them pinch- ed, I suppose?" - - "No. But I want Lebrune watched closer than any man has been watched in this town for a long, long time. And if Vogel is found, I want him. shadow- ed just as closely. I'll keep in touch with you and in the meanwhile I'll drop around and see what can find out about 'Red Sten.' " "I'll go with you," offered Graham, leaping to his feet. "This inaction is killing ine.Y "I am afra,d you'll not find tramp- ing around with me very much more to your liking," objected Charlton. "Suppose you take the inspector's tip, go home and rest. I'll promise to call you up the minute anything develops and then I'll be only toe glad to have you 'with ." "I have a' -'.very fast car outside," said Graham. "Can't I drive you to wherever it is you are going?" "No, you take that car and go home. Perhaps later, we can use it and Use it to good advantage and you will want to be fresh and able to drive it safely. Your nerves are net in shape to do that, You cannot help now." "I'll de it," said Graham; he shook hands with the two of them and a moment later througlathe window they son:v. his ear threading its way past the traffic in the street outside. Charlton left shortly after he had heard Griffin give instructions for the, shadowing of Lebrune and Vogel: Charlton had little difficulty in find- ing Stella Lathrop. Overwhelmed byi doubts and fears as a result of her initiation into the Inner Council. site had remained in her roam at the hotel trying to reconcile her views with what she had learned of the plans for, casting the nation into turmoil. Le- brune had mentioned Russia. Stella had bought the newspapers to see if they had anything to say about Vogel. Now she turned to the columns which contained Russian news and perused them avidly. In one of them she found a lengthy dispatch -which. gave her a decidedly new viewpoint on Bolshe- vism. Taken In connection with what she ‚had heard Lebrune and the fat man say at the Inner Council meeting, she began at last ta discover that the roseate dreams of the radicals whose words she had swellawed as truth were mere cainotifiage to cover upethe desire for turning the world into a pig pen with every one fighting for the front place at the trough. "Bolshevism is a class war, and simple," so the article ran. `Its exponents, as witness them in Russia, are guile willing to exterminate the so-called rt4.i.ng classes, inclinling every one who 'owns the least bit a property' if that is necessary to at- tain. :their ends and get what 'they Want. And they want everything, "The Bolshevists know ita law ex- eel)t the law of their own making, and they are Vibe Willing to change that law at any time. to snit themselves.

But when she saw Charlton, and not • a man she knew to be Vogel's friend, she would have closed it again. "Don't be alarmed, Miss Lathrop," said the Government man, striving to, win her good graces. He made no move to prevent her from closing the door and this in a measure reassured her. She waited to see what he would say. "I want to ask you if you know where Louie is," he went on. "It is very important that I find him and he seems to have disappeared. I was down at `Silver Danny's' when you telephoned yesterday and I dropped. in here now to see if you had got any trace of him yet." "What do you Want with him?" she demanded.

"You're his girl, aren't you?" he asked quickly. "Is this his room?" Instantly she flared up. "The room is mine.," she cried, hot- ly. "I could be Louie Vogel's girl if I wanted to. He would marry me if I said the word. But the room is mine. He never net foot in it, neither did no other man. I'm not that kind of a girl. Goodabye." The door sLaimned in Charlton's face. "Little firebrand," he murmured softly. "Temper goes with that kind of hair and it's some hair, Anyhow, I think you told the truth and that wherever Vogel, is keeping, himself, you don't know where it is.' As he turned away down the dark hall he almost collided with a man puesyfooting down it. "I beg your pardon.," said the startl- ed Charlton. • • . , "And I yours," was the reply in a voice that thrilled the Government man. In the dimly lit hallway he had been unable to distinguish the fea- tures of the other man, but the voice was that of "The Gray Wolf." (To he continued.)

Finish the edges with a narrow itrip of molding. Under two end's nail a piece of wood 43C2x18 inches, `and place a caster in each. corner. Finish with a coat of paint. This movable platform is easily pushed with the foot from place to place, even when it holds such articles as a mop pail full of water, a heavy coal scuttle, oil heater, or, in fact, any household article that you desire to move. * * * Another muscle and back saver for the housewife who cooks for her own family is a shelf near the cookstove high enough to elevate the fuel so she need not stoop down to reach it when it is necessary to replenish the fire. The shelf should have a narrow board nailed to the outer edge to keep the wood from falling off. * * * * I keep all ray recipes sorted and in special envelopes.
