CHAPTER XVII.
The Scales of Justice Balance.
The next day at the very hour when
a coroner's jury was sitting at the
inquest over the bodies of Vogel and
Lebrune, a solemn scene was being en-
acted in the court -room of Federal
Judge Graham. Lined up before him
the twelve men convicted of having
taken a part in activities against the
United States Government had. ap-
peared for sentence. The courtroom
was peeked to the doors. Fearful of
an ele-venth hour attempt at reScue
the prisoners or to harm the judge,
Government men, policemen in uni-
form and detectives were eprinklecl
through the crowd and on the alert
to prevent a demonstration of any
kind.
The old judge emerged from his
chambers and made. his way slowly
to the bench' amid a silence that was
profound. He did not take his seat,
but he motioned the others to be seat-
ed and for the preliminaries to begin.

Lebrune. The Bolshevist's disguise bent over as the police officer's flash -
had not fooled "Big Louie' for a mo-
ment. Lebrune had a peculiar walk
and Vogel had marked it as his out-
standing characteristic. It was a habit
of the gunman to note such things and

flage of detectives 1, -into sought to fool
him.
It was after dusk when Vogel spot-
ted Lebrune shambling along in his
hafho rig and he had followed him. A
dark spot, a snapshot and then a hur-
ried getaway would remove this man
he feared. But before he had trailed
his victim to a desirable place, Le-
brune had seen Stella and was hidden
in the doorway. Vogel had seen her,
also, so he took up his position in an-
other doorway near Lebrune and bided
his time. He now had two strings to
his bow. After he had removed Le-
brune he proposed to revenge himself
upon Stella for his fancied wrongs at
her hands for he had no thought but
that she had instigated the attempt it." But something in his yome be-
trayed to her that he could tell a
light played upon the features of the
dead man; he repressed a start as he
recognized Lebrune's features. But
he did not cheese to change his origin-.
al statement.
"If you want me for the inquest or
anything, notify the chief," he told
the policeman and departed to keep
his appointment with Stella.
Despite her alarm over the pistol
battle so close to her, the girl had not
gone more than a few yards away
from the bench where Charlton had
promised to meet her. She saw him as
he approached and ran to his side.
"What was it?" she asked. "I heard
the shots almost in my ears and I
-thought for a minute some one was
firing at me. I -wouldn't put it p,ast

escape after he had trilled me."
"Two men fought it out. Both are

Now we come to Charlton, fourth
in this precession headed for the park.
The Government man well knew the
risk the girl was running in turning
informer and he appointed himself
her bodyguard. Of course she did not
lenew that he was shadowing her to
prtitect her, So he was only a few
steps behind her when she entered
the bookstore. At the same 'moment
he saw Lebrune choose his hiding
plaee and he noted Vogel seek cover
in the other doorway. So with a grim
smile the Federal' agent waited until
they started the double game of follow
the leader before he, too, joined in.
Clarlion did not recognize Lebrune
in hie new makeu.p and he had never
seen Vogel. But, with Stella's warn-
ing that the gunnvan might have re-
turned to the city fresh in his mind,
he had no trouble in guessing the

"Mr, Ch.airlton, you are keeping
something back," she accused. "I am
not a child. One of those men who
were killed was Vogel, wae he not?"
"Yes," replied Charlton, simply.
"You will read it in the papers to-
morrow-, anyhow, so I might as well
tell you now."
"And the ether?"
"Lebrune."
She did not speak immediately. But:
when she did her voice was Galen and
collected.
"It seems like God has taken a h.and
in things for my be-nefit," she said.
"Mr. Charlton, whether you know it
or not, I believe that I was riot far

A little girl set off for school carry-
ing hen,laneh ,,M her hand. There
came a whirring of wings as a huge
brown bird dropped out of the, sky.
, The little girl proceeded on her way
crying, while the kite -hawk overhead
enjoyed the , feed his talons haat
'snatched from her hand.
Notwithetanding their thieving pro-
pensities, these birds must not be kill-
ed, as they are the natural scavengers
of India. However, 33ritish troops sta-
tioned in the country have a method
of their own of dealing with the kite -
hawks. A blanket spread on the
ground, with a piece of meat thrown
on to it, forms a trap.
A marauding bird sees the meat,
makes a sweep for it, and tries to
make off. But his sharp talons have
entered the blanket, which lifts ad he
rises, and' the soldiers who have been
waiting seize the blanket and pull
down and capture the bird.
A long strip of paper, dipped in para-
ffin, is then tied to his tail, ignited,
and the bird released. Away he goes
up into the sky with eflarning tail be-
hind him. Beyond a slight singeing,
no injury accrues to the bird. This
idea is sometimes used at a football
match, where birds are,released with
a burning strip attached to them, to
record each goal.
