One of The Star's Week-End Fietion Series - BIG, powerful, red tburing car, with a shining brass bell on the front'of it, was standing at the curb Mefore oun apart- ment late one afternoon as I entered. It was such a machine’ as one fre- quently sees threading its reckless course in and out among the trucks and street cats, breaking all rules and regulations, stopping at nothins. the bell clanging with exciterpent, policemen holding back trafic.nstead of trying to arrest the driver—in other words, a fire department automoblile. 2 mo- o e boamected. with, modern fire-fighting s ll\l.r:lllnl Then I forgot about elevator, on was leaning forward, earnestly pour- ing forth a story into Kennedy's ear. “And back of the whole thing, sir’ I heard him say as he brought his large fist down on the table, “is a fire- bug—mark my words!" Before I could close the donr. Craig caught my eye, and I read look that he hnd a nlw uw-—ene that in- terested him greatl ‘Walter!”* he crl.d. “This is Fire Marshal McCormick. It's all right, McCormick. Mr. Jameson is an ac- cessory both before and after the faet in my detective cases.” A flebug! One of the most dan gerous of criminals. The woml ‘e cited my imagination at once, for the newspapers had lately been making much of the strange and appalling auccession of apparently incendiary fires that had terrorized the business section of the clty, “Just what es you think that there is a firebug—one firebug, I mean —back of this curious epidemic of asked Kennedy, leaning back in his morris chair. with his finger tips together and his eves half closed, as if expecting a revelation from some subconscious train of thought while the fire marshal presented his case. “Well, usually there is no rhyme or reason about the firebug,” replied Mc- Cormick, measuring his words, “but this time.I think there is some method in his madness. You know the Stacey department storer and their allied dry goods and’ garment trade inter- ests? Craig nodded. Of course, we knew of the gigantic dry goods combina- It had been the talk of the press formation, a few ly as it included one very clever business woman, Miss Rebecca Wend. There had been considerable opposi- tion to the combination in the trade, but Stacey had shattered it by the sheer force of his personality. McCormick leaned forward, and, shaking his forefinger to emphasize his point, replied slowly: “Practically every one of these fires hds been directed against a Stacey subsidiary or a corporation controlled | by them.” i “But if it has gone as far as that, put in Kennedy, “surely the regular Police ought to be of more assistance to you than 1. “I have called in the police. swered McCormick wearily, “but they haven't even made up their minds wrether it is a firebug or a gang. And in the meartime, my God, Kennedy. the firebug may start a fire that will get beyond control “You say the police haven't a sin- glue clue to any one who might be responsible for the fires?” 1 asked. hoping that perhaps the marshal might talk more freely of his mus- picions to us than he had already ex- pressed himself in the newspaper in- terviews I had read “Absolutely not a clue, except such as are ridiculous,” replied McCormick. twisting his cap ‘viciously. No one spoke. We were waiting for McCormick to go on. “The first fire," he began, repeat- ing his story for my benefit, although’ Craig listened quite as attentively as 1if he had not heard it already, “was at the big store of Jones, Green & Co. the clothiers. The place Was heavi insured. Warren, the manager and real head of the firm, was out of town at _the time The marshal paused, as if to check off the strange facts in his mind as he went along. * “The next day another puzzling fire sccurred. It was at the Quadrangle Cloak and Suit Company, on 5th ave- nue. There had been some trouble, I believe, with the employes, and the company had discharged ‘& number o them, Several of the leaders have been grrested, but I can't say we ha anything against any of them.

Other fllln the fact that the Stacey intsrests put up the money for financ- {ne thia bullding, there seemed to be no reason for that fire at all. The bullding was reputed to be earning a good return on the investment, and I Was at a loss to account for the fire.

A little later came a fire that loaked quité like an attempt to mask a robbery by burning the build- ing afterward. That was in a silk house near Spring street. But after a controversy the adjusters have reached an agreement on that case. I ! mention these fires because they show practically all the types of work of the various kinds of nrahnp—huur- ance, revenge, robbery and plain in- sanity. But since the Spring street fire the character of the fires has been more uniform.

But, more than that, there must be some bne back of him. Who is the s higher up? We must catch him. ‘A big department store,” mused Kennedy. “That's definite.

With one hand on Craig's shoulder and the other grasping Craig’s hand, he started to speak, but voice choked. ‘Thanks,” he blurted out huskily at last. “My reputation in the depart- ment is at stake, my promotion, my position itself, my—my family—er— er— Not a word, sir,” sald Kennedy, his features working _sympathetically. ‘Tonight at eighey I will go on watch with you.

Let's take a walk, get an early dinner, and bd back here before the automobile arrives. Not a word more did Kennedy say about the case during our stroll or even on the way downtown to fire headquarters. We found McCormick anxiously walting for us. High up in the sand- stone tower at headquarters we sat with him in the maze of delicate m: chinery with which the fire game is played tn New York. In great glass cases were glistening brass and nickel machines with disks and levers and bells, tickers. sheets of paper and a nunciators without number. This was the fire alrm telegraph, the “roulette wheel of the fire demon,” as someone aptly called ft. ‘All the alarms for fire from all the boroughs, both from the regular alarm boxes and the auxiliary systems, come here first over the network of 3,000 miles or more of wire nerves that stretch out through the city,” McCor- mick was explaining to us. ‘seven,” the numbers appeared on the annunclator.
