Chacherres Bundle. It was seven In the morning when Henry Gramont drove his car into Uonma. In the wire which he had sent over Cbacherres signature he had commanded Dick Hearne to meet Gramont at about this time at a restaurant near the court house. Putting his car at the curb, Gramont went into the restaurant and ordered a hasty breakfast. He had brought with him copies of the morning papers, and was perusing the accounts of Bob Malllards pitifully weak story regarding his fathers murder when a stranger stopped beside him. -Gramont? said the other. Thought It was you. Hearnes my name I had orders to meet you. Whats up? The other iiian dropped into the chair opposite Gramont, who put away his papers. Hearne was a sleek Individual of pasty complexion who evidently served the gang In no better and runlight than as a ner of errands.

So old Ben got pinched, huh? Thats one joke, man ! Gramonts worst suspicions were confirmed by the attitude of Hearne, who plainly considered that the entire gang had nothing to fear from the law. Chacherres boasts were backed up solidly. It was obvious to Gramont that the ramifications of the gang extended very high up, Indeed. Better cut out the talk, he said, curtly, until we get out of here. Hearne nodded and rolled a ciga1 adjoining property. He went on to an opening in the bushes which, over the low rail fence, gave him a clear view of the Gumberts property. There he paused, quickly drew back, and gained a point whence he could .see without danger of his presence being discovered. He settled into Immobility and watched. That Memphis Izzy himself bad not yet arrived, he was fairly certain. Near the baiu were drawn up two'fliv-ver- s, and sitting In chairs on the cottage veranda were three men who must have come In these cars. Gramont had come provided with binoculars, and got these out. He was not long in discovering that all three men on the veranda were strangers to him. They, no doubt, were men in the lottery game, waiting for Gumberts to arrive. Gramont turned his attention to the other buildings. Both the barn and shop were open, and the buzzing thrum of machinery bore witness that the mechanics were hard at work upon the stolen cars. Gramont thought of Ben Chacherre, still tied and lashed to the chair In his room, and wondered what was to be found under the rear seat of Bens car. He could see the car from where he lay. d Almost on his thought, a and noiseless car came sweeping down the road and he knew at once that Memphis Izzy had arrived. He knew It Intuitively, even before he obtained a good glimpse of the broad, heavy figure and the dominating features. . Memphis Izzy was far from handsome, but he possessed character. Wheres the Goog? As he left the car, which he had driven himself, Gumberts lifted his voice In a bull-lik- e roar that carried clearly to Gramont. Wheres Charlie the Goog? The mechanics appeared hurriedly. One of them, no other than Gramonts friend of the adenoidal aspect, who seemed to oyn the melllfldous title of Charlie the Goog, hastened to the side of Gumberts, and the latter gave him evident directions regarding some repair to the car. Then, turning, Memphis Izzy strode to the cottage. He nodded greetings to the four men who awaited him, took a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the cottage door. All five vanished within; Gramont rose. A moment previously, fever had thrilled him; the excitement of the manhunt had held him trembling. Now he was cool again, his fingers touching the pistol In his pocket, his eyes steady. He glanced at his watch and nodded. Its time! he murmured. Lets hope therell be no slipup ! All ready, high-powere- So am I. Memphis Izzy. Lets go! , the room and the mea tnsidn Startled, all four of them had risen and were staring at him.

Beside the table was a small mall sack, partially emptied of its contents; torn envelopes littered the floor.

Step lively, there Each man there had a revolver cr pistol, and oue by one the weapons clattered Into the corner. Gumberts stood motionless, licking his thick lips, unuttered curses in his glaring eyes. And in that Instant Gramont heard the porch steps creak and caught a ing 1 fllSrJLOOM uoyfli Baby Carnages &Furniture Ask Your Local Dealer WriteNow, for 32-Pa- low, startled ge Booklet The Lloyd Manufacturing Company ( Hcywooct-Co.- ) Dept.

Theys a gang cornin on the run It was Charlie the Goog, bursting In upon them In wild haste. Gramont stepped Into the room and turned slightly, covering with one of his weapons the intruder, who stood aghast in the doorway as he comprehended the scene. No words passed. Staring at the five men, then at Gramont, the adenoidal mechanic gulped once and like a flash acted. He ducked low and fired from his pocket, Gramont fired at the same instant, and the heavy bullet, catching Charlie the Goog squarely in the chest, hurled his body half across the room. With the shots Memphis Izzy flung himself forward in a headlong rush. That desperate shot of the little mechanic had broken Gramonts right arm above the wrist; before he could fire a second time, with the weapon In his left hand, Gumberts had wrested the pistol aside and was struggling with him. The other four came into the melee full weight Gramont went down under a crashing blow. Over him leaped Memphis Izzy and, rushed Into the doorway then stopped with astounding abruptness and lifted his arms. After him the other four followed suit. Two men, panting a little, stood outside the door and covered them with shotguns. : Tie em, boys, said Gramont, rising dizzily to his feet. No, Im not hurt my arms broken, I think, but let that wait. Got the ones outside? A stamping of feet filled the hall, and other men appeared there. reGot two of em, Gramont The leader. third the slipped sponded in here ah, there he Is !

Get that mail sack and the letters particularly; if theyve been working their lottery outside the state. Itll be a federal matter. Gumberts, who was being tied up with his friends, uttered a hoarse cry. Who are you guys? You cant do this without authority Dont be silly, Memphis Izzy, said Gratnont, smiling a little, then twitchThese ing to the pain of his arm. friends of mine are members with me of the American Legion, and theyve come along at my request to put you crooksawhere you belong. As for authority, you can ask and go hang. Here, boys. Ive got to get out to that barn. Come along, some' of you 1" He led the way out to the barn and, the others trooping In behind him, entered. He pointed out the car- - which had brought Chacherre here previously, and 'ordered the extra seat In the back opened up. I think theres a bundle inside, he said. Whats In It, I dont know Here we are, cap. A bundle was produced, and opened. In It was found the aviators costume which Granfont had worn as the Mid-- , night Masquer, and which Chacherre had stolen with the loot. Wrapped among the leather garments was an automatic pistol. Gramont stood aghast before this ' discovery, as realization of what It meant broke full upon him. Good lord! he exclaimed, amazed ly. Boys why. it must have been Ben Chacherre who killed Maillard! See If that pistol has been used The Midnight Masquer had fired two bullets into Maillard. Two cartridges were gone from this automatic.
