SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER VII
Released (rain prison after serving
fifteen yeas.•: for a murder he didn't
commit, Mark Grant goes to the office
of a lawyer named Fosdick to collect
a legacy left to him while he was in
prison. When Fosdick tells him he
will have to wait, Mark accepts an in-
vitation to a party' to help Teddy
Bank Wilt a bet with Ardhie Lan-
don, Although Marls tells them his
real name, Archie introduces .him as
"Stewart Byram" At the party Mark
meets Burleson, the man who sent
him to prison, and Burleson's niece,
Pamela Rodney. Burleson: does not re-
cognize him, and Mark decides not 'to
reveal his identity to Pam until he
finds the real murderer. Fosdick
learns of his deception, but keeps the
secret for reasons of bis own. Bur-
leson remembers the young man at•
the party, who looked vaghely' famil-
iar to him. He asks,' "What sort is he

His sharpness alarmed her; she

through a crowd at the corner. He
did lose his temper! She lagged •a
little; he had to wait at the other
side for her to come up, but she
pretended; she had been dodging iso

knew he had frightened her.

sone taxis were signaling for fares.
He called one and put her in it.
"You go hone," he said authonitativ

But she: leaned out, calling to hint.
"Whom does he look like, Uncle Her-
bert? "I've got to know!"

tence;; he answered with a shrug, shut-
ting the door on her.
"Look like? Oh, like a dead man!"
and :he gave' his own address to the.
taxi driver, lifting his hat to her
punctiliously as she' was driven away.
The girl peeping out of the' back win-
dow at him, felt a queer tightening
about her heart.
"How ill he looks," she thought,
"how broken and how old!"
She could not remember that she
had. ever seen him really happy!
Teddy Banks had been losing mofi-
table opposite and dangling his walk-
ing stick between his knees.
"Inn broke,' he‘ admitted cheerfully;
"stony broke!"
"Huinpli!" Fosdick, began to turn
over some papers. He had no valid ex'
Buse for holding up the legacy, but he
Wished he had. He despised the young
man heartily; there was nothing in
Teddy's make-up ;) that appealed to
him, 'I suppose you're in debt, too, as
usual?" he snapped: •
"Not so • deep,"': Teddy assured him
.affably; "I got five hundred out of
Landon on a wager, got it cold!" and,
he laughed uproariously, suddenly er-
calling Landon's rage at subsequent
events.
Fosdick swung his chair around and
eyed him viciously. "You're a young
reprobate," he observed dryly "what
was the .wager about?".I didn't' know
Landon could afford to lose that
much."
"Lose it?" Banks laughed again.
"He did more than that—he burnt
five hundred dollars up in a rage—"
Fosdick, who valued -money and had
had to work for it, stared hard at
young Banks. "He's drunk," he decld-
ed frowning at him darkly.
But Teddy, enjoying his• own joke
at Landon's expense, .explained. He ex-
plained in detail, even to the fight in
the sindking-room and the holocaust
of the money.
Mrs. Lynn had frozen .me out. She's
down on hie, and I vowed I'di get
even. I have! She's invited the fellow
in and had him to dinners. And now,"
he gurgled with mirth, "Landon's
black with rage because he's making
love to Panfela Rodney! Landon's
dead set that way himself, and he
can't do a thing— not a belly thing!
Mrs. Lynn would fire hint if she found
out he'd brought a fellow in out of the
street you knew; he might have been
a whitewing; anything, on a wager!"
Fosdick, who had listened in sheer
astonishment, found the key to Pam
and Mark in the tearoom. He know at
once how the girl had been fooled,
Ile reddened to his scanty gray hair;
he ought to have told Burleson yester-
day!
"You. deserve a thrashing you young
reprobate!" he said to Teddy Banks,
with the candor of an old men who had
been a friend of Teddy's grandfather
and guardian of the Banks money for
thirty odd years. "You. and Landon
both deserve to be sent up for disord-
erly conduct! You've done a pretty
piece of work between you. You don't
happen to know the man you intro-
duced into Burleson's house, to his
sister-in-law and his niece. do you?
Of course not! You picked up a man
in the street and Landon palmed him
off on them as a friend of his! :That's
the idea—a friend of hip and yours,
too"?
Teddy laughed comfortably. "Not
on your life! I don't tomo into it; 11Irs.
Lynn had cut nue out. it's up to Lan-
don."
"UP to Landon -Yes!" thrundeced
the old lawyer, striking his fist onhis
desk, "but it's up to you, too. because
you made the bet; you got Landon
into it. He's a dumb fool, anyway!
Now, I ask you, young' man who's
this fellow? D'you know now?"
Teddy waved his walking -stick air-
ily "Search me!" he 'said.
Fosdick leaned' over his desk: and
thrust his gray face forward until the
light caught the ugly glitter in . his
eyes. "I'll tell you what you did,• you
young idiot, you", he said sharply;
"you and Landon picked up an ex -cera-
viet in the street and sent him into
a friends house, sent him to meet a
pure young girl—an ex -convict, d'you
hear'? ,
Teddy Banks slid down off the table
and stood gaping in sheer amazement
his mouth open. "Oh, I- say!" he 'gas-
ped, "aren't you putting it on too
thick ?.:The fellow's a good looking
chap, pretty decent sort -looks like
a ,gentleman."
Fosdick uttered an inarticulate ex-
clamatien. "I know hint very well," he
said grimly; "I've known him for
years. I knew him when he was sent
•
e up; he ' was seventeen years •old—a
good looking young chap then. He
served his time and he's out. Just the
same, he's' an ex -convict and you and
Landon sponsored him."
The venom in Fosdick's voice car-
ried conviction. Banks stared at him
sobered; he even turned; a little pale.
"Say!" he lowered his voice apprehen-
sively; "what was he up for?"
"Murder!" Fosdick shot the word
with such1 i

cle for his money; rapped him over
the head in his office ` and tried to
