Copyright, The Frank A Munsey Co. Nothing but arrest will prevent my going to the end,” replied Linden, as he rose to leave. “I might weaken if I was doing this for personal gain, but—” and he shrugged his shoulders as he turned toward the study door. “Walt one moment, Mr. Linden, if you please,” said the lawyer. “You say that nothing but arrest will stop you. Suppose that I now decide deflnately that I will take your case, or rather agree to go on with it when your arrest —a probable event, let me say, when we consider that the police have one little clue, and may find others—makes it a case. If, when I get the opportunity to work in your behalf, I succeed In getting you cleared, will you then desist in your effort to complete this job?” “Never!” replied Linden firmly. “I may—in fact, I do —dread arrest and its possible results, but I have no compunction in the matter, and I know that my irregular method pf collecting money is no worse than tho method employed by Cossett, who hid behind favoring laws. “I must have what I set out to get, and I shall never be satisfied until the whole amount has gone to its real owners. I thank you for what is without doubt something more than a lawyer’s interest in a client, but I will right my people’s wrongs in my own way. The enterprise is well planned, Mr. Fenton.” “The enterprise is extremely foolhardy, and I think it Will, fail,” said the lawyer gravely, “but I will stand by you. Let us hope that I shall never be called upon to defend you.” Then taking the visitor to the outer door, he bade him good night, and returned to his room to consider the strange case. To know the details of a crime which was not yet in the public prints was certainly a novelty. When Mr. Fenton took up his paper the following morning he found, under the most approved of modern “scare heads,” the following: _ Simon Cossett, the well known financier and promotor, was assaulted and robbed of ten thousand dollars at a quarter to nine last night The thief was a stranger, who pretended that he wished to invest in Colorado mining stocks. Mr. Cossett says that just after he had opened his safe to take out the papers relating to this stock, the stranger pinioned his arms and thrust a spring gag into his mouth. While he was trying to break the ropes which bound him, or call om loudly enough to attract his servant’s attention, the thief took from the safe a package of bills Mr. Cossett had received that day. When he had pocketed the money the thief touched the call-bell, and Mr. Cossett heard the servant's step on the stairs immediately afterward. The thief’s next trick was a request, in a tone very like that of Mr. Cossett, that the servant would see the gentleman to the door.

Mr. Cossett described the man as being tall and well-knit, and dressed in a black sack coat and gray trousers. He had reddish-brown curly hair, and a small reddish mustache. He carried a paper box, of the kind used by the belated citizen who takes home to his wife a peace offering of fried oysters, and the third finger of his left hand was crooked and brown like that of a finger painted with iodine. The man was admitted by William Jones, the only servant, and Jones says that he wore a soft black hat. Ten mtputes after the stranger entered the office, Jones says, Mr. Cossett’s bell rang, and the servant, when he reached the foot of the stairs heard his master, as he then supposed, ask him to show the gentleman out. Jones opened the door for the stranger, and noticed that he still carried the yellow box. He did not see a hat at the time, because the man held one hand behind him. As soon as the door closed on the stranger, Jones went into the office as he usually did after a caller had gone, and found' his master bound and gagged. He released him as quickly as possible, and being a quick-witted man, he Immediately rushed to the sidewalk, followed by Mr. Cossett As the two went down the steps, Jones spied a man on a wheel, speeding past the house. ‘ This man carried in his left hand a box that, in the light from the electric lamp seemed to be identical with that carried by the thief. The servant thought, too, that the man’s dress corresponded with that of Mr. Cossett’s visitor. Jones, thinking that he had dis-

covered the criminal, yelled lustily, and a convenient policeman brought the man back without delay. When the wheelman w r as taken before Mr. Cossett and the servant, they both failed to recognize him as the thief. He was a much smaller man, and his hair and mustache were Very dark in color. His dress and his paper box were, however, similar to that of the thief. ’ *— “What have ye in the box?” said the policeman. "Oyster crackers,” replied the man quietly. "And who gave them to you? Was it a man who just came out of this house?" said the officer insinuatingly. “I bought them five minutes ago, on the next corner,” said the wheelman, rather pertly. “Is there, anything wrong in that?” “Take the young man down to the corner,” said the first policeman to a second officer who had just come up, “and see if that is right. There has been a robbery committed here,” he went on, addressing the detained man, “and there is a box mixed up in it We must be sure where we stand, you know." ■ “All right,” said the wheelman. “The storekeeper will know me.” The storekeeper did remember the wheelman and came to the Cossett residence to say so for the hundredth time. Mr. Cossett did not, in the face of this evidence, wish to make a charge against the wheelman, so lie was allowed to go after his address had been taken. Nothing but oyster crackers was found in the box. And now for the strange feature of the cracker episode. When the police looked about in the outer hall, they

found, behind the vestibule door, the box the stranger had carried. When opened, this box was found to contain oyster crackers. They were not of the same make as those of the grocer down the street, but the apparent connection between the two boxes seemed to implicate the released wheelman. A wardman was immediately despatched to the address given by the wheelman and found nothing but a vacant lot. No such person as James Creel, the name given by the cyclist, was known in the neighborhood. The police are now looking for Mr. Creel. The officers, while searching the inner hall, found a soft hat hidden behind the hat-rack. They also discovered that Mr. Cossett’s black derby was missing. This explains why the stranger held one hand behind him as he passed through the door. The thief, it is evident went down the steps wearing Mr. Cossett’s derby. When Jones reached the sidewalk he saw no one but the wheelman and he rushed after him at once. Mr. Cossett, who sank down on the steps when Jones began to yell, says that a man in a gray suit wearing a black derby hat, either stood just below the house, or was walking slowly toward it when Jones started up the street Mr. Cossett asked this man to help catch a thief and the stranger followed Jones without delay. Mr. Cossett thinks that he saw this man after the wheelman was brought back, but be is not sure. He cannot describe the man’s features, but thinks he had a smooth face. (To be continued.)
