I Rex Leterre forges the name of Luke Maddison, wealthy banker and his sis- ter Margaret's ance, to a large check. He is found dead with a note in his handwriting accusing Maddison of having ruined him. Margaret marries glauke Maddison, after he has given her ,everything he owns. She leaves him, ,-Selling him she has ruined him to re- -venge her brother. Luke, bewildered, wanders about London, is attacked by mugs who take him for a detective, re- povers in hospital to nd he is known as "Smith." In this new character he 3 becomes involved with the Joe Connors gang, who mistake him for an Austra- Jinn crook named Smith, and is made n unwilling accomplice in a jewel rubbery. He does not know that Mar- gout has relented and has returned to to the dismay of one Danton Morel]. `hisbankers all the money he gave her, her dead brother's friend, concerning whom Gunner Haynes, an American jewel thief, whom Maddison had once befriended, has been making inquiries. Detective Bird of Scotland Yard, known also as The Sparrow, is like- wise interested in Morell. Maddison goes to his own old bachelor quarters, '15 taken for a burglar, escapes from the police and tries to get in touch with Detective Bird. The Connors gang learn of this, sandbag and imprison `him in an underground oell near the river where he is certain to be drowned when the tide rises. Meantime, Mar- caret, revisiting Luke's old rooms, nds 3 sheet of paper on which Luke had begun a letter to his friend and law- yer saying `that he is in desperate trouble. Margaret's joy over the dis- oovery that Luke is alive and in Lon- don is tempered by the statement of Detective Bird` that the man concern- ed in the jewel robbery, whom she now knows was Luke, had been going a- round for two years with the woman whose accomplice he was. Stooping, the Gunner put his arm about Luke Maddison and lifted him bodily. He turned and strode through the door, down the narrow passage, and into the untidy yard. He had al- ready located Connor s van, and he was on the point of hoisting his bur- den into its interior when he heard a stealthy scraping against wood. It was the sound that a man makes when he is c1imbing-somebody was getting ov- er the gate. `I-Tn anf 'l ..nl.rA nn fhn av-nnnli nrnnnpd C1 DUE 55LC. He sat.
