CHAPTER XII Lanyard who had without stirring watched the woman clamber back over the parapet and pass him with fixed, unseeing eyes in a face ablaze with fury, now turned cautiously, pinched as he was between the window and the pier, till he commanded through the hinged opening a cramped view of the pom. The Boyce, with a pose of fine theater, was at the moment throwing the shagreen case, open, onto the table. •‘What does this mean?” she shrilly demanded. “What’s the idea? Where are those emeralds?” “ ‘Emeralds’?” Isquith was momentarily in a dumbfounded stammer. "What— what— ” “You heard what I said. They weren’t in the case when I opened it downstairs just now. Where are they? What was the idea? Trying to gyp me?” ‘•Half a moment. Tess.” Isquith, effecting an admirably quick recovery, without raising his voice made it so peremptory that it won him what a lift of his hand likewise enjoined. As he swung round to the telephone again, a man in uniform with the words Gotham Safe Deposit Company spread upon the bosom of his tunic moved into the picture and picked up the case to examine it. “All right, Sherry." Isquith curtly finished. “You know what you’ve got to do: now get busy. Don’t be more than half an hour, and give me a buzz when you start. So long.” He replaced the instrument upon its cradle and got up. in full command of himself, as the Boyce was not, if in a rage as rabid as hers, and even, by the black fire of his look, more malignant. “Now. what’s this nonsense?” he barked. “What do you mean—where do you think you’ll get off—talking to me like that? If the emeralds are missing from that case, you know more than I do what’s become of them—and you know I know it! If there’s any gypping being done, you’re doing it. Come clean, kid.” He moved over to confront her at close quarters. “What have you done with them?” The man made at the same time as if to catch her wrists, but she was ready. “Keep your hands off me!” The pistol of gold and pearl was whipped up from the folds of her dress, and Isquith started back as if she had thrust a snake in his face. “And stick ’em up! And be quick about i it: you know me, Freddy—you i know I wouldn’t hesitate a minute. . . . That goes for you too, Wally! Stick ’em up and don’t make me tell I you twice.” Instant obedience proved that her boast hadn’t been an empty one, that the two men knew her temper too well to try conclusions with it. Isquith for one. quite aside from , the fact that his hands were high above his ears, took a new attitude I with her, etruck a new tone, and ( one that was conspicuously as poor as recently it hafd been rich in authority. “Don’t be a fool, Tess. We won’t get anywhere this way. If those ; stones are gone—well, there’s some- ! thing damned funny about it—” “I’ll say there is!” “And it’s up to us to find out j what it is, and we won’t do that, 1 ever, unless we quit bawling each other out and do some teamwork in- [ stead —” “Oh, yeah?” “Put that gun up, now, and be sensible—” “I’ll put it up, all right—when I get ready. And that will be when I’ve put yours where you can’t pull them. Turn round. Wally, and back up. And don’t kid yourself you’ll get anywhere stalling on me: this is business.” Persuaded more by the pulsing grimness of her countenance, perhaps. than by a threatening flirt of the pistol, the gunman with a sick grin gave in, halting his backward progress when the woman bade him, and suffering her to pluck the heavy automatic from its holster at his thigh. “That’s right.” The woman deposited the weapon on a consoletable behind her. "Always do as Mamma says if you want to keep your health—you yellow rat! Now march. That’s far enough. And mind you stay put and keep your paws up while I ’tend to Freddy." "Oh, eome now, Tess!” Isquith again attempted to reason with her. •This is all so uncalled-for 1 As if

But you wouldn't kid a trusting woman, would you, Freddy? Not unless you thought you could! Keep 'em in the air, kid, and don’t ' even think of making any funny passes while I take it. The Boyce stepped in, nipped the [ deadly derice out of Isquith’s waist-

I coat, and smartly stepped back to : drop it beside the other weapon. “Now you two heroes sit down and make yourselves comfortable," I she sneered. “Smoke if you like—- ! while we discuss this funny busi- ■ ness of the disappearing emeralds. I don’t get it yet, if you want to know, what percentage you figured t to make by playing games on Mam- , ma; but a nice little heart-to-heart i talk ought to make everything ■ clear—don’t you think?” A blast of vituperation dwindled to a mutter on the gunman’s lips at s a sign from his brother; and petulantly throwing himself into a I chair, Wally rammed both fists deep i into the pockets of his breeches and 1 subsided into a glowering silence. i Yet Isquith himself proved no 1 more ready with a proper reply—a > shrug was all that came of a pause in which he seemed to ponder some f withering retort; and sitting down -by the table, he absently drummed f it with fingers that did his ruanit curist murh credit, and rendered to 1 the standing challenge merely a , wry. uncertain grimace. j “Well, what’s the answer?” she s exploded in utter loss of patience. “Or maybe there isn't any? Is that - it, sweetheart?" “I’d call that pretty obvious." s Isquith made a half-hearted at--1 tempt to reassert his lost prestige v by falling back on his Park Avenue I airs. “Until you come to your r senses and put that pistol away—” " “And let you book me for a ride 1 like those two poor children in the ■. next room are going to take?

"Put you are both right,” l-»»- : yard lightly protested, entering to the scene by the windows at the woman’s back. “Forgive the intrasion; but when such good friends fall out, and the fault is mine—what else can I do? The Boyce whirled upon him with a scream; but Lanyard had already taken charge of the weapons on the console, and the one that had eome from the gunman's holster was formidable enough in itself to put Isquith and his brother back in the seats from which they had started. “Thank you. messieurs! And you, madam —shriek if you must, but !•» sure of this: it will profit you noth-

ing. Neither will you accomplish anything by snapping that toy at me; I pulled all its teeth before I left it for you to play with. As for the mystery of the emeralds—permit me to set your minds at rest: there isn’t any. Neither was there any treachery; both of you played fair. The stones were in the shagreen case when Monsieur Isquith gave it to you, madam, and you dropped it; they are now in my possession; in another hour or so they will be in Mme. Crozier’s again. No.no! But please!” He let his voice out till it overrode the woman’s. “Spare me your applause, pray —or as you say in American, piease omit flowers—and grant me your patience yet one minute mure. The pleasures of conversation we must forego. I’m afraid, till I have seen to graver business.” He crossed to the table, and finding a battery of several telephones parked upon it. hesitated over his choice, and hesitating, saw Isquith, with a negligent hand, thrust one toward him. “Monsieur is most obliging," he remarked, at the same time taking note that this was a French-typ» instrument without a dial, “I trust, however, he will not resent my preferring to use an open wire instead of one which I have every reason to believe would put me through d>- : • rectly to the ear of one of his con- i . federates." Isquith added a shrug to a sickly smile. (To Be Continued)
