He looked at that moment as if the death the other threatened was already come upon him. There was a moment of silence, intense, charged with the electricity of emotions a silence more sinister than the noise of battles. Twice Mahr attempted to speak, but no sound came from his contracted throat. Slowly he pulled himself together. A look awful, inhuman, flashed over his convulsed features.
And as true as I live, if ever you make one move in that direction again, I shall find it out, and I will kill you! But first I'll go to your boy, Victor Mahr, and I shall tell him: 'Your father is a criminal a bigamist. Your mother never was his wife. Sneak and beast from first to last, he found it easier to desert and deceive.
But the conclusion reached with relentless finality by that astute young man was far from being what Gard had feared. To the detective's mind the answer was plain his employer was guilty. The motive obviously concerned Mrs. Marteen. It was evident, from Mahr's efforts to gain access to that lady's safe, that she possessed something of which Mahr stood in fear or desired to possess.
"It might," said the lawyer, "but there would have to be very good and sufficient reasons. Let's have the facts, Mr. Gard. An insane person, I take it, killed Mahr. Who?" "His wife." Gard had risen and stood towering above the others, his face set and hard as if carved in flint. Field instinctively recoiled. "His wife!" he exclaimed. "Why, man alive, you are the madman. His wife died years ago."
Mahr couldn't divorce her, but he married again, secure in his belief that his first marriage would never be discovered. Mad as she was, she knew the situation, and she planned revenge. Dr. Malky, of the Ottawa Asylum, is here. We sent for him. The woman has been recognized by Mahr's butler as the one he admitted. There is no possible doubt.
Go out, get your man and tell me when he will tip Mahr. That means my orders in the Street. Tell him there is news of federal action. I drop out enough stock to sink the quotations a few points it's the truth, too, hang it! But it won't get very far." A crafty smile curled the detective's lips as he rose to go. "Very good, sir. We'll pull it off all right. I suppose the office will find you?"
Gard's impedimenta seemed to preclude the handshake, and the host hastened to insist upon his guest being relieved. Gard shook his head. "I have only a moment to inspect your picture, Mahr," he said coldly. "Oh, no, don't say that. Have a highball; you will find everything on the table. What can I give you? This Scotch is excellent." "No," said Gard sternly. "Excuse me; I am here for one purpose."
Oh, that's only Teddy Mahr, Victor Mahr's son. He was a famous 'whaleback' I think that's what they call it on the Yale football team. They say that he's the one thing, besides himself, that the old cormorant really cares about." Marcus Gard stiffened, and his jaw protruded with a peculiar bunching of the cheek muscles, characteristic of him in his moments of irritation.

Find out for me, if you can, if they have put anyone in the house. Find out what they're after. Anything at all that concerns this matter is of interest to me. Put a man to shadow Balling; have a watch put on anyone you think is acting for Mahr. I will take it upon myself to have the combination changed. I'll send a message to Mrs. Marteen." Brencherly shook his head.
