Colfax suddenly stood upright and
walked to.the window "looking out
over dark roof tops, A strange feel-
ing of prediction filled the small,
white painted office, John had step-

without looking at John. "It is no

It was dark when the two men left

shabby fashion, turned on his heel
at tete corner. "Good -night, Breen --
John." He half hesitated, and then
did an unusual thing. "Here, shake."
He wrung the hand of the younger
man with a strong cold grip ---"Good-
