Davis, and learn his ideas and his position on every vital issue affecting our nation at this time, I am satisfied the so-called progressive groups who have turned toward Senator La Follette, can conscientiously and whole-heartedly support the Democratic nominee.” This was the statement of Thomas Taggart, veteran Indiana Democratic chieftain, here to attend meeting of Democratic State committee today.

BEX.IN HERE TODAY John Anisley, a man ot education and breeding, becomes a master Afook —preying upon other thieves. In a deal with a "fence" he arranges to dispose of a box of jewels which he stole from the Whitte Eagle, a notorious international crook. ~~ The doorbe 1 of his apartment rings. A man steps swiftly inside. “I coma from Leedon.” the intruder says. I.eedon was the name of the fence. "I was hiding when you were dickering with him today. I overheard you talk. And I decided that half of 5300.000 would just about fix me up. Don’t try to draw a gun: I've got you covered through my pocket.” □ DO not think I am a coward. At any rate, I laughed at him. ”1 suppose you expect me to believe that you’d shoot?” I Jeered. ”1 guess you’ll believe It when I tell you that I’m Swede Thomassen,’’ he retorted. “Leedon gave me SI,OOO. But what's SI,OOO to me? I've got to have enough monej so that I can play the part of the wealthy gentleman who has a whole suite on an ocean liner, whose privacy mustn't be disturbed. I’ve got to have enough to bribe a lot of people if I want to make my get-away.” “Extremely interesting,” said I. “But why come to me? Why not get It from your friend, Leedon?” “Because as soon as Leedon saw tonight’s papers and found out why I was hiding, ne made an excuse to get out. I didn’t know he had seen the papers or I'd never have let him go. I found the paper after he’d gone. And there’s nothing I could prove against him. And, anyway, whether I could or not, he’d gone out to give me up. But you—you’re different.” “You can’t prove anything against me,” I told him. “I said you were different. Leedon could stand a scandal. He isn’t afraid of them. He claims to be an honest pawnbroker. But you—what do you claim to be? Can you stand police inquiry into your life?” He was more intelligent and better educated than I had gathered from my newspaper reading. And he had me. Not merely literally, I with a gun trained upon me, but 1 figuratively, he had me. The subterranean activities of such a man as Leedon were so well known to

the police that fear of exposure by Thomassen would not deter the pawnbroker from delivering him up. It was by sometimes aiding the police that,Leedon obtained a certaam immunity. But my case was different. I could make no terms. And I was quite sure that if I refused Tbomassen. he would, when cap tured, betray me out of that sheer hatred for the world which made him the beast he was. “CALL HER UP AND TELL HER—ANYTHING.” A man, then, whom I would have considered it a pleasurable duty to kill, had me at his mercy. And if I chose to perform that pleasurable duty, the action meant the end of my security. For even though I pretended that I had killed Thomassen while he was burglarizing my apartment, the police would inevitably asa me certain questions which I would not care to answer. “A sensible man knows when he’s licked,” said Thomassen. “You look sensible.”

I “You expect me to hide you here j while I’m waiting for Leedon to | raise the money?” I demanded. The murderer shook his head. “I’m taldng no chance like that. You'd be itn the level. You'd have to be. But I'm going to get out of town tonight. Leedon isn't the only man that buys stolen goods. I want half of the jewels themselves. Get out the box.” "Do you think I keep them here?” I asked. "They're in a safe-deposit box downtown.” “Go get them,” he ordered. "I'll be waiting righ here,” And now sheer wrath at his insolence, combined with horror at his crime, made me forgetful of his threat of exposure—or if not forget ful, careless. But Thomassen was not merely intelligent; he was shrewd. The.hand that was burled in his packet pocket was withdrawn with a movement so speedy that it put to shame my own gift of legerdemain, “No, you won’t,” he jeered. "Neither now nor later! You’re a sensible man, Mr. Ainsley, or whatever you call yourself, as I_said a minute ago'. You won’t! step into a bullet when you haven’t a chance. And I know what’s going on in that brain of yours. You’re figuring that yoip’ll take me off my guard. But I know a gentleman when I see one. And I reckon you know a killer when you see one. You’re a gentleman: I’m a killer. You give me your word of honor that you won’t try to bump me o!f yourself, that you won’t slug me or drug me or anything like that. I don’t ask you to promise not to give me away to anyone. Y'ou’d have to give yourself away. I just want the promise I’ve asked.” “And if I don’t give it?” I asked. “I’m a killer,” he replied. “I can only go to the chair once. You give me your word within ten -seconds, or I’ll kill you.” He meant It there w.ts not the slightest doubt in my mini as to that. It was the most humiliating moment of my life. Moreover, in addition to my humiliation, I suffered the pangs of hope deferred. For I had no trade, no profession. On less than three hundred thousand dollars J. could not hope to re-establish my proper name. And I must divide with this scoundrel! “And of course, Mr. Ainsley, It’s understood that you get the Jewels the first thing in the morning, bring them here and divide.” What could I do? I gave him my word. I will say for him that, loathsome though he was, he knew blood.,,He knew that I would rather have died than break my word to him, even

tiiough that word had been obtained under duress. lie sighed with huge relief as soon as 1 had spoken. "I haven't slept far two days," he said. "I’m going to bed. What time does your servant —I suppose you have one—get here?” "In the morning at seven,” I re plied. “Has he a telephone?” Thomassen inquired. "She has.” I corrected him. “Call her up and tell her —tell her anything, but see that she doesn’t come here tomorrow.” Meekly I took his orders. Again I -ask, what cculd I do? Thomassep had the insolence to grin at me when I hung up. “Sweet and simple. Isn’t it? And tills is -ft. whole lot better than getting out of New Y'ork tonight. I'm dead for sleep.” I will say for him that he had nerve, even though it might have been born of desperation or exhaustion. For, demanding to be shown a bed, he hurled himself upon it, and was sound asleep in a moment, leaving me alone with my thoughts. • • * They were n6t pleasant thoughts. Aside from- the shattering of my dreams of rehabilitation, there was my vast self-contempt at becoming a confederate in the murder of Thomassen's victim.

sheltered, I began to examine the situation, to study *he promise which I had made I had said that I would bring the jewels here in the morning and dhide them with my unwelcome guist. I had said that I would not *ry to kill Thomassen, or to strike Mm or drug him or anything like that. I had not promised that I would not betray him to the police. He was so confident that I would not dare do that thing, that he had not exacted any promise. I reddened as I thought of this. He believed me to be so lost to decency that I would aid a filthy murderer to cheat justice rather than risk my own precious liberty. Well. I would surprise him. I would outside, telephone the police and then —what? 'fhomassen, captured, would describe me in detail; he would betray my acquaintance with Leedon.
