He says he's got the whole business down in biack and white, with af- fidavits, and al] that. He had the nerve to tell me less than an hour ago that he'd burn me alive if I didn’t toe the mark.” “What does he want you to do?” “He wants me to stick around here so that he can use me against you. He knows how you're mixed up with Sheila and that you cant turn a “wheel without making it look as If you were going after me on your own personal account.” ‘There was silénce for a little time, and the crackle of the match with which Mr. Norcross relighted his cigar smashed into the stillness like a tiny pistol shot. It was an awful muddie, with bloody murder jsticking out of it on every side. “If you have come here with the iden that I can force Hatch's hand, you are very much misled,” said the boss, at the close of the electric pause. And then: “Has he made it appear to you that he was merely \trying to help you avenge your own fancied wrongs?” “He said 1 ought to get you; that any man who would make love to a married woman ought to be got.” My chief was looking past the derelict, and out thru the darkened window. “You dont know me, Mr. Colling- wood, but you do know your wife; and you know that she is as far above "suspicion as the angels in heaven, Let that part of it go. Hatch was merely using you for his own ends. If he could persuade you to kill me off out of the way, it would be merely that much gained in the business fight. You haven't done it thus far, and now he is using your check-cashing excursion as a club with which he propores to brain the enjire railroad manage- ment, your uficle included, if we interfere with his plans.” Collingwood scowled up at the ceiling, shifting the dead cigar from one corner of hia mouth to the other. “So that’s the way of ft, t# ft?” he commented. “He was working | for his own pocket all the time, and Uncle Breck stands pat and slips him the ace he was needing to make his hand a winner.
