Many of these letters were from lawyers, in which they said that, after they had read the evidence, they doubted if the men were guilty. Also, one of these reform societies lias got mixed up in the The governor had read the thing. evidence brought out at the trial, ami lie believed himself that the men might not lie guilty of the robbery. Then lie' asked me if you were in the city; and, when I said Yes, he suggested that I ask you to look into the nffair. If you, after having investigated the matter, think the' men then he will pardon them. He said, also, that there was some sort of a fund from which he could pay your fee. Bartley gave me a curious look, then turned to Rogers. . "That parts all right, Rogers. Only I havent the faintest idea what you are talking about. Of course, I know where Circle Lake is. It's near Saratoga. A friend of mine has a summer place there. But beyond that, I have no idea what you are driving at. Why not start at the beginning and tell me what this crime was? With a grin the chief started at the beginning of the story. Of course, you know who Robert Slyke Is? Bartley nodded; but, seeing that 1 did not recognize the name, he turned to me. Ielt, dont you remember the Wall Street broker who announced at a Billy Sunday meeting that he had been converted, nnd that he was going to give hack to his clients the money they had lost in hls office? Both Bartley and Rogers laughed, and the latter commented, He never gave it back. No, said Bartley, he never did. That conversion did not stick. Slyke His is a strange sort of a chap. friends are few and there nave been wild rumors as to where he got his money. He has dnbhled a hit in spiritualism, and lias been fooled by several mediums,! In agreement. Rogers ' nodded Thats the chap. He has a place at Circle Lake. He has lived there for the last two years all the year round. No one knows exactly why he left the city, but it is said that he has lost a lot of money in stocks. He paused, then continued, It was Early Slyke who had the robbery. one morning, about a year ago, his came to his room and said there were burglars downstairs. He Jumped from his bed, and, without nny weapon, rushed down the stairs, while the girl stayed on the top step. From then on. It becomes mixed up. Mixed up? asked Bartley. ing by Ids wits.

Unlocking the door, I entered the hall and went up the stairs to v my room. v This week of rain in the middle d of June had spoiled Bartleys fishing trip, and had kept us in the city. It was a trip he had been looking forward to for a long time, since In the past few years there had been few opportunities for such things. Iq fact, since 1017 Bartley had passed very few nights In his own house. About a year before we went Into the war, those who followed criminal mysteries noticed that Bartleys name was no longer connected with the solution of crime. Perhaps they wondered a little at this. When the full story of the work of the Secret Service In the war Is told, recognition will be given to the part he played in bringing it to a victorious Until then, all I can say conclusion. Is that when he returned to New York, In the spring of 1920, his work for the government had ended. The first thing that he did upon his arrival was to clear up a pile of mail that ran back for several weeks; his next was to plan several weeks fishing in the- lakes of northern Maine. On the very day that we were to start it had commenced to rain, and never ceased for seven days. Telegrams told us that in Maine it was raining, too. In sheer disgust Bartley burled himself In his library and went to work on his book, "The around, les drag alone do my work. ' I read some letters that they say committed this robbery are now In Jail with a seven years stretch over them. You know, John, nfter all, I dont know such a devil of a lot about this thing myself.

It when the doorbell rang. Bartley glanced up at the sound and said, Thatiust be Rogers. The next moment Ranee, bowing as he always did in announcing anyone, ushered Rogers into the room. Rogers had been at the head of the Central office for about five years. In that time he had built up for himself the finest reputation that any city detective had ever had. He was nm brilliant man, nor, for that matter, an educated one. but his rare common sense and hls absolute honesty had won for him the respect of the people of the city. He took a chair, and after saying. Hello. John. to Bartley and a word to me, he took a cigar from the box that Bartley pushed over to him. Theu leaning across the table, he picked up' one of the volumes. The book fell open at a picture; lie started as he looked at It, then handed it to me with a sly wink. Thats a fine sort of a book to show on honest and moral police officer. If I found a bookseller on the Avenue with one, I would have him pinched. Bartley swung around in his chair, saw which book It was. and laughed. Well, Rogers, he said, the man that wrote that book died a good many hundred years ago. He was the greatest .
