Recognition was instant and mu tual as the man jerked the trap-rob. ber to his feet, stifing the muffled yell in his throat. “T want that packet you picked up on Clinch’s vera:da," said Hal Smith. “M-my God,” stammered Leverett "Quintana just took it off me. He ain't been gone a minute—” “You le!" “1 ain’t lying. Look at his foot- marks there in the mud” “Quintana!” “Yass, Quintana!

He had halted and he was fumbling at the twine which bound a flat, paper- wrapped packet. He did not start when Smith’ P warning struck his ear: ‘Don't move! I’ve got you over my rifle, Quin- tana!” Quintana’s fingers had instantly ceased operations. Then, warily, he lifted his head and looked into the muzzle of Smith's rifle. “Ah, bah!" he said tranquilly.| “There were three of you, then.” | “Lay that packet on the ground.” “My frien’—" “Drop it or Tl drop you!” Quintana carefully placed the packet on a bed of vivid moss. “Now your gun!” continued Smith. “Quintana shrugged and laid Lev- erett's rifle beside the packet. “Kneel down with your hands up and your back towa#d me!" said Smith. “My frien’—" “Down with you!” Quintana dropped gracefully into the humiliating attitude popularly in Gicative of prayerful suppltcation. Smith walked slowly up behind him, relieved him of two automatics and a dirk. “Stay put.” he said sherply, as Quintana started to rn his head. Then he picked up the packet with its loosened string, slipped it into his side pocket, gathered together the arsenal which had decorated Quin- tana, and so, loaded with weapons, walked away a few paces and seated himsel? on a fallen log. Here he pocketed both automatics, shoved the sheathed dirk into his belt, placed the captured rifle handy, after examining the magazine, and laid his own © rcross his knees. “You r und now, Quin- ta ty. Q his arms and started to “Sit do Smith. Quntana seated himself on the moss, facing Smith “Now, my gay and nimble thimble. rigger,” said Smith genially, “while I take ten minutes' rest we'll have a little polite conversation. Or, rather, a monologue. Because I don’t want to hear anytyhing from you.” He settled himself comfortably on the log: “Let me assemble for you, Senor Quintana, the interesting history of the jewels which so sparkingly repose in the packet in my pocket. “In the firet place, as you know, Monsieur Quintana, the famous Flam- ing Jewel and the other gems con- tained in this packet of mine, belong- ed to Her Highness the Grand Duch- Theodorica of Esthonia. Very interesting. More interest- ing still—along comes Don Jose Quin- tana and his celebrated gang of inter- national thieves, and steals from t Grand Duchess of Esthonia the Flam- ing Jewel and all her rubies, emeralds and diamonds. “‘Certai Yes?’ * said Quintana, with a nation of acknowledgment Well, then, still more inter. | relate, a gentleman named | 6, jewels. How very careless of you, Mr. Quintana.” Bon. to deliver them to you, I suppose, thought better of it and attempted to} abscond. Do you get me, Herr Quin-| wise." and you got Jake aughed Smith. Kloon, I you kill Kloon?” “Oh, pardon’ The mistake was 1e- tural, You merely robbed Kloon ani} Leverett. You should have killed them.” “Yes,” sald Quintana should have. It was my mistak “Signor Quintana, it is human for the human crook to err. Sooner or Inter he always doea it. And then the Piper comes around holding out two itching palms.”" “Mr, Smith,” said Quintana pleas- antiy, “you are an unusuallyy agree-| able gentleman for a thief. I regret| that you do not see your way to an| amalgamation of interests with my self.” | “As you say, Quintana mea, somewhat unusual. For example, what do you suppore I am going to} do with this packet in my pocket?" “Live,” replied. Quintana tersely “Live, certainly,” laughed Smith, “put not on the proceeds of this| coup-iemain. Non pas! I am go-j ing to return this packet to its right- dor:ca of Esthonia, And what do 5 think of that, Quintana?” Quintana smiled. “You do not believe me?” inquired Smith. Quintana smiled again. “Allons, bon!” exclaimed Smith, rising. “It's the unusual that hap pens in life, my dear Quintana. And| now we'll take little inventory of these marvelous gems before we part .
