So Yowler watched and waited
night after night. Never once did
he show himself. Never once did he
make the mistake hiding where

that new deal. In doing this he left
a footprint in some fresh mud. He
didn't notice this. Perhaps he
wouldn’t have thought anything about
it if he had.
But the next time Paddy come
along that way he saw thst foot-
print at once. and he knew who had
made it. There are no footprints
like the footprints of Yowlcr the
Bob Cot excc ting those of his
cousin. Tufty i e Lynx. And Paddy
knew that Tuftv the Lynx was not
living in the recn Forest. Paddy
showed that footprint to Mrs. Paddy.
"Yowlcr the Bob Cat has been

started building this dam have we

watchfully.

had met this girl in America. at
Harbor. and new thnt the dissipated
Englishmen. WESTRIDGE. was tr!-
lnz to marry her for her money.
The crlnunsl's sense of decency was
outraged.
__Go on With the Story
CHAPTER I!
THE invalid criminal lifted him-
self on his great bands and
turned the whole of his body
toward me. _
'3 tell you." he shook the arms
of the chair in his great hands. “the
thing begun to get my goat. Her
father. a lawyer in the South, was
dead. She had only the old Boston
grandmother (I heard the talk
among the women) and the coin was
getting scarce. Your Little English-
man played in form. every point
correct. and he was goin' to get her.
“I seen it!
His voice become cold. level. even
like a metallic click. ‘
“'Now, my little gentlemen: I
said to myself. 'We'll just see if you
do! Right here is where "Alibi Al"
sets in withn stack of blues.’
"I got up. folded my newspaper.
and took a turn up and down the
veranda. as though I was trying out
my game leg, an' then I limped down
to the fashionable church Just across
from the library.
"l stepped up inside the door.”
He paused. and his voice‘changed
to its fonner note.
"You see I had to have a. little
help on this job. It had u big. loose
el‘d— ‘
"I Went in and sat down in a. pew.
It was dim and quiet and I got right
down to business I didn't run in
any of the prayer-book curtain-
rnmers. I put the thing right up to
the boss.
" 'Now. look here. Governor! I
said. ‘haa a helpless little girl got a
pull with you. or is it bunk? Be-
cause I'm agotn' to call you. and if
the line your barker: are putting
out is on the level. you've got to
come across with the' goods. If
there's nothing to it. the Govern-
ment ought to shut ’em up On a
fraud order—I'm egoin' to carry one
end of this thing: get busy at the
other end!’
"Then I went out.
"That night I went over
little Westrldge.
"He was surprised to see me—
didn‘t understand it: he'd never met
me in the social line. > .
"He was mighty formal. as you'd
say. but he didn’t throw any stut-
tering into Alibi Al. I set down.
Just as if the place belonged to me.
and! waved a hand at him. 1 said
to myself. 'You're a little plker; line
up and take what's coming to you."
"But what I said out loud was
like this:
“'Carrote has got a little bunch
of stuff that’s goin' to be wiped out
if it ain't covered.‘
"That was her nickname nmong
the youngsters. because her blue-
bluck hair in the sun had e heavenly
copper glint."
He looked mixed on. " 'What. pre-
cisely. do you m? he says.
“I didn't pay anyl attention to him.
I went on Just u l! he hadn‘t said
a word. r

"It was near enough to my line

The big man linked his fingers to—

"As I was sayin‘. he walked right
