Hook* y 1 C $) . ».« .C • $ [Continued from hist Week. ] A day or two later Donaldson laid the whole case before me in a manner most delicate and most affecting. He spoke as if I had been his father. Archer had come to him. he said, in such an attitude of mind as to alter his own feeling materially. He was Inclined to believe that the man had been greatly overwrought by the ex igencies of our common business af fairs. "He believes," said Donaldson, "that Kelvin will win in this fight and that it will be the beginning the end, so far as this business is concerned, lie has brooded over it and gone sleepless, as he tells me, and I know what strange things, contrary to his own real nature, a man may do when sub ject to such a strain. It is a weak jus tification, but one can't look at him and fe»el that there is nothing in it. He has been beside himself for weeks. I think his attitude toward Don has been the result of pure nervousness. At any rate, acting under Dorothy's advice, I am unwilling to do anything that may cut Carl off from the benefit of your influence. I know how strong an affection you have for him"— "That's the central fact, isn't it?" I interrupted. "You want to please me. Well, then, let's wait. Let's trust a bit to him. We will not hastily condemn a man who seems to be struggling to redeem himself." Now that my attention was thus di rectly called to It I perceived that Carl had not been himself of late, and 1 was weakly anxious to make the best pos sible plea for him. He was my dead sister's son and had been dear to me. \ I thought it might be well to have a long talk with him. and one day when I came into my office after luncheon and found him there alone I was upon the point of burdening him with much useless advice, but he turned my mind Into another channel. "Who do you think has been here?" said he."The last man you'd expect to i see, upon my word." "Not Kelvin?" 1 queried, for a call : from him at that juncture would in- j deed have been unexpected. "Severn," answered Carl, "the first | one—the pretender." I was amazed at the impudence of this visit. "He wouldn't tell me what he want- ! ed," said Carl. "He inquired for you and promised to come back." "His reception will be more lively ! than cordial," I responded. It was about half an hour later when j the man appeared. His looks had i greatly changed, but whether he was in I disguise then or had been so before I could not have decided, lie had an j official and solemn air as he entered the ! otlice, and he laid a card upon the leal j of my desk without having spoken a | word in the meantime. The card con j veyed to my mind the Information that j Mr. Frank Gillespie was a special oper- j ator for the Dorn Detective agency of j New York. "You lost some money awhile ago," said Mr. Gillespie. "Well, sir, our agency keeps its eyes on little matters i of that kind, and when they're partie- ! ularly interesting we sometimes inves tigate on our own account without of fering our services in the regular way." "Was that why you came here be fore?" 1 demanded. Mr. Gillespie gravely inclined his j head. I asked him why he hadn't said i so like an honest man, and 1 received in return the information that the de tective business sometimes involved an element of deception. "Now, Mr. Harrington," said he, "what is there in it if I find that mon ey?" | 1 was strongly indisposed to deal with this man, yet I would have been glad of the money, and I could not sup pose that he had come to see me a sec ond time without having some very promising clew. So I asked him what he would think right. "Ten per cent of what I find," said he promptly and added, "I'm suspicious that the amount may be a trifle short." I was more than suspicious that it might be so. supposing that Mr. Gilles pie should find it when no one was / » Oz § 4L 0 01 "How do you do, Mr. Gillespie?" watching him. However, I agreed to his terms, with the proviso that more than half the money should be recover ed and the crime fully exposed. "Well, sir," said he,"l think I'm pre pared to do it, bnt I warn you that it will be considerable of a shock to you." "It will be a good deal more of a shock to the thief," said I."I guess that I can stand it if he can." With the crude caution appropriate to his trade, Gillespie dragged his chair closer to mine, and with an eye upon the door and his lips close to my ear he whispered: "It's your man Donaldson who turn ed this trick." "No, sir," said I; "that won't go." "Wait a bit," said he, laying a hand upon my arm. "1 won't listen to this charge except in Mr. Donaldson's presence," said I. "You don't inspire me with very much confidence, to be frank with you. But ir you nave the stamina to make this charge to Mr. Donaldson's face, that will give you a sort of standing." "Very well," said he, spreading out his hands. I touched a button that rings a bell in the outer office, aiul when a ooy en tered in response to it I said: "Ask Mr. Donaldson to step this way." It happened that Donald had entered the outer office within a few minutes, and the boy thought that it was the son and not the father whom 1 wished to see. To my surprise, therefore, the door presently opened, and Donald en tered. lie closed the door slowly and stood with his back against it. "How do you do, Mr. Gillespie*'" he said. The detective was taken by surprise, but he masked it fairly well. "You have just made a serious charge against my father," said Donald. "Have you any proof of itV" "I'll produce my proofs at the proper time," answered Gillespie. "This is the proper time," said I. "Produce the evidence now or forever hold your peace." "I say that he took the money," pro- I tested Gillespie. "He changed the pack ages on your desk. That 1 knew at the i start, but it took me a long while to I work down to what lie'd done with tin | money." "Well," said Donald, "have you work ed down to it?" "I have," responded Gillespie, with precision. "He played the same trick twice. He put the money into another package and dropped it in his box at 1 the bank." "('an you describe that package?" de -1 man<ied Donald. "Well enough," answered Gillespie. And he gave details, adding, "I saw ttiin take that package to the bank at a tertain day and hour." And he named the day and the hour, whereby 1 knew for certain that it was the Strobe] correspondence to which lie referred. "Your case fails, Mr. Gillespie," said I. "Mr. Donaldson gave me that pack age of papers. It is now in this safe." Gillespie was staggered. He dartc< a keen glance at me am! read clearly in my face that the facts were as slated. "He gave them to youV" said he. "How did he happen to do it?" "I asked him for them," 1 replied. "Well, if you asked him for tliem he had to give them to you. didn't he?" said Gillespie. "lie couldn't refuse. He had to give them to you and talfe his chances of getting the money after ward. Let's see the package." I was already busy unlocking the safe. Gillespie had hard work to re strain himself during this process, and when the safe was open I expected to see him dive into it. but he managed to stick to his chair. 1 took the pack age out and opened it upon the leaf of my desk. The various documents roil ed apart. There was no money what ever in the package. "Who had the combination of that safe?" demanded Gillci i»se. "Myself alone," said 1."1 changed It on the day when 1 put the package in there. It is an unquestionable cer tainty that nobody lias opened the safe since then." Gillespie began to walk the floor, gnawing his lips. "Well, sir," said I. "If you are ready to make your charge, 1 will call Mr. Donaldson." "I—don't—think—l'm—quite—ready," said Mr. Gillespie slowly. "Can you produce the money?" "Not this afternoon," he replied; ' "not this afternoon. 1 may have some thing to say about it tomorrow." lie stood looking at Donald for some j seconds thoughtfully, then turned upon his heel and strode out of the room. Donald walked to one of the windows and stooil there, moodily staring out. Not knowing just what to say, I busied myself in wrapping up the papers and returning them to the safe. "Can this be confidential, uncle," said Donald—"everything that hap pens between us this afternoon? Why bother my father with it yet? Let's wait until we get to the bottom of it." "I'm willing, Donald." said I, "if you think it important." "It is indeed," he replied. "And now before you lock up the safe I'll give you this." He drew a great roll of money from the side pocket of his sack coat. "Mr. Gillespie was suspicious that the amount might be a trifle short," he said. "It is. There's $.">,000 missing— almost all the smaller bills." I was so overpowered by surprise that 1 did not at tirst notice this new instance of the accuracy with which Donald could quote remarks which were not made in his presence, lie had repeated Gillespie's suspicion precisely. "You have found it!" I exclaimed. "I had to." replied Donald. "This man was coining to make this charge against my father. It was absolutely necessary that I should find that mon ey. Put it away, please. (Juick! Some one is coining." Donaldson and Jim Bunn entered, the former waving his hand, in which there was a letter. "The proxy from Silas Harrington!" he cried. "The branch is safe. We can win now by fifty shares even if Thorn dyke votes against us." "If Mr. Thorndyke votes against you," said Do 1 gloomily, "you will lose by fifty • 1: ,res." We all star d at him. "There's no possible way to figure that out," said Donaldson. "I don't figure it out," said Donald; "1 know it. Yet what I know is not what will happen. It is what would ! happen if 1 didn't know if. Is that clear?" "As clear as mud," said his father, laughing. CHAPTER XV. THE PREDICTION OF DEATH. *'W ET'S see once more how the thing stands." said I. "I'racti- 1 cally every share of the whole j 10,000 can be placed now." 1 sat down by my desk and made oul a table, which I will present here some what abridged. It is not necessary ft j include the names of the small stock- j holders whose position was perfect!} ' well known to us, nor of those whose J proxies were held either by Kelvin ot j myself. The event proved that we were J right about tlus matter to the last j share. Therefore the list may be given in this form: HARRINGTON. John Harrington 4.150 Donaldson 10 Archer 100 ; Buna 100 , Silas Harrington (proxy) 200 Proxies and small holders 375 5,025 KELVIN. Kelvin 3,90 m Thorndyke 225 J Proxies and small holders bio 4,075 Harrington's majority, GO. There was considerable discussion !• regard to the smaller holders who would personally vote and in regard to the proxies, for, though Donaldson and 1 were perfectly agreed, Jim Dunn differed from us very widely. He be lieved that of the >OO shares which i had credited to Kelvin in the above table at least one half would goto us, , thus making the result of the election ■ sure. I don't know how he could se j far deceive nimself, but lie was per ! fectly sincere in his opinion and per sisted in crediting us with the votes ot i men who were as sure to vote the Kel ' | vin ticket as Kelvin was himself. ' j Among them were two members of the ' present directory of the company. It was they who had objected to moving . the office, as I mentioned somewhere i in the early part of this narrative. It will be remembered that Donald ! had made a startling prediction in re gard lo Bunn and that it had been ver ified by Bunn's redemption of his stock ' j which had stood in my name. Hut I | had received Buun's solemn pledge that this stock should not pass out 01 his control, either by sale or proxy, and that it should never be voted against me. lie was a stockholder of record at the date prescribed, before the elec ! Mon, and I counted upon him with the same certainty that I counted upon Donaldson or Archer. When my table had been made up , and sufficiently discussed, I showed 11 , o Donald. "This may be all right, Uncle John," paid he, "but I will bet a million dol lars against a teaspoonful of east wind that it won't come out that way. How , ever, if you win you don't care what - the vote is." r "I'd like to know what you think it's l going to be," said I. "I'm ashamed," said Donald. "It'a %i 11 y for me to pretend to know any fhing about it." Dunn was hitching about in his chair. "I think it would be very interest i big." said lie. "I'd like to know wheth er you think the same way that I do about it." • "Your opinion is far the worst of the lot, Mr. Dunn," responded Donald jok ingly. "You're not right, even about c — r— "—~ ! "If you have anything to say upon this matter, speak note." j the grand total, without regard to the ! way the votes fall upon one side or the j other." "No, no, Donald," said I. "Mr. Dunn i figures as we do, that every share will j be voted." | The boy looked surprised. < "I thought he estimated them u hun j dred short," said lie. Bunn slowly raised himself from his chair. "I must get back to my work," said he. Donald meanwhile was writing on a slip of paper. "This is my prediction," he an nounced, "and if you won't look at it till afterward I'll give it to you, uncle." "All right, my boy," I replied. And when he had seaJed up the prediction in a very small envelope I put it into my waistcoat pocket. In the course of the next day or two I had several opportunities for exerting my powers of persuasion upon Mr. Isaac Thorndyke. He was evasive, but his intent was clear. The man could be counted absolutely with the Kelvin party. What inducements Kelvin of fered him I have never learned, but I have suspected that they consisted in 1 promises to invest money in a crazy in vention which Thorndyke controlled and in which he had just sense enough not to sink all his own money. No change occurred in tlie situation up to the day before the election. On the afternoon of that day Donald and I were walking along the business street of Tunbridgc, where most of the stores are and the principal hotel, a sorry place of entertainment, I regret to say. As we approached it 1 saw Detective Gillespie come out. He paused upon the edge of the upper step, and I no ticed that he was a trifle unsteady, as if under the influence of drink. I had had no interview with this man since the day when he had made Lcis extraordinary and baseless charge against Donaldson. I knew that he had remained in town, and I had tak en some pains to make sure that he was not repeating his accusation. Had he done so I should have made trouble for him. But so far as I could judge his main business was to drive about the town in a light top buggy and look mysterious. The vehicle in question was standing before the door of the hotel, and the horse was fastened to an iron hitching post. As we approached the spot from | one side Kelvin and Thorndyke came up from tiie other, so that it seemed likely that there would be a rather in teresting encounter before the door of the hotel. Gillespie remained poised upon the step, and as we came near Donald I bowed to him. "Aha, the wonder-boy!" said Gilles i pie. "What sort of weather are we ! going to have next Christmas?" "The weather is tine today," replied ! Donald, pausing. "Be content with that." Gillesnie turned to me. "I've :;<>t some interesting facts for i you. Mr. Harrington." said he. "They ! won't pie -•(' your young friend there very much." | "I would suggest that this is hardly J the place to disclose them," said I. "No," he answered, "and I'm not quite ready yet." "That was ihe trouble with you the Other day," said I injudiciously. "You tired off the gun before it was loaded." It is a fault of mine that I am al- I ways impatient with a drunken man. Nothing else makes me so angry as i foolishness, and at the head of all fol lies stands inebriation. On this occa sion Gillespie was seized with the sud j den and absurd anger which often | marks a certain stage of intoxication. "If you want me to talk right here," I said he, "I'll show the whole business ; up. I'm dead onto this boy. I can 1 tell you the whole game from A to Z." A crowd was collecting. Kelvin and I Thorndyke had stopped and were in ter" sted spectators. I caught a glimpse »<f Donald out of the corner of my eye , and saw that he was pale with some strong emotion, which I judged to be i wrath, though it was n ; iiy mere mis ery, as I afterward learned. "Why don't you goon?" said he to Gillespie. "Tell what you know here and now." "Tomorrow will do," said the detec tive, beginning to descend the steps. "Tomorrow I'll come to see you at .tour office, Mr. Harrington." "I shan't be there," said I. "Then I'll tind you over to the Junc tion," he rejoined. "Oh, I shan't have any trouble in keeping track of you tomorrow." Donald stepped forward into the man's path. I saw that some unusual impulse was upon the boy, and it af fected me with a peculiar thrill. I had often seen him show tlie same aspect, but never with such intensity. "Frank Gillespie," said he, "if you have anything to say upon this mat ter speak now. Tomorrow will be too late. If you wait till then, I warn you that you will not speak at all. Now is your time, and there is 110 other." He extended his right hand and touched Gillespie upon the breast over the heart. He lias declared since then that the gesture was entirely acciden tal, that he was wholly unaware of it. And I think that is one of the strongest points in the case. As to the immediate effect of his words and manner, I never saw the like. There was such a silence that it seemed as if the whole town of Tun bridge had stopped to take its breath. In certain moments Donald undoubt edly exercises an influence upon those about hiui which lias 110 rational ex planation. Gillespie put up his hand and cov ered the spot which Donald had touched. "Hocus poeus!" he cried somewhat hoarsely. "I'll attend to your case to morrow." He brushed past Donald and unhitch ed the horse with so much nervous bus tle that the animal was irritated and started just as Gillespie had a foot up on the step of the buggy. The man jerked the reins with his right hand, slipped upon the step and turned about so that he was thrown against the hitching post, the iron ball upon the top of it striking him with considerable force upon the breast. The horse stop ped, and Gillespie tottered back against a wheel of the buggy. His face was very white and somewhat contorted. Such was my state of nervous and superstitious apprehension that I ex pected to see tlie man fall dead, though in ordinary circumstances 1 should not have feared a serious result from the accident. Evidently I was not alone in my alarm, for a strangely suppressed and inarticulate cry went up from the group upon the sidewalk, and several men stepped forward to assist Gilles pie. He recovered himself, however, without help, climbed into his carriage, this time with sufficient care, and drove away. "Donald," said I in his ear, "what did you mean?" "Mean?" lie repeated as if dazed. "Nothing at all except that I wanted him to speak. I wish to heaven he could have exposed me right there in the public street." "Well, my boy," said I, "if anything happens to Mr. Gillespie after what you told him just now you may be ex posed by the recording angel, and it will have 110 effect in Tunbridge." CHAPTER XVI. TIIE FATE OF A TRAITOR. TIIE next morning Donaldson and I went over to the Junc tion 011 the early train. There were three or four stockhold ers over there to whom we wished to say a final word, though, in our opin ion, the election was as good as over. I experienced a great relief and, as sometimes happens, was the better able to realize how great would have been my bitterness of spirit if Kelvin had won the fight. I had various errands here and there in the Junction and was separated from Donaldson for some hours. We met about noon in front of the busi ness block in which the office of the branch is located. My first glimpse of Donaldson showed me tnat some thing was wrong. "I've just had a telephone message from Archer," he said. "He tells me that he can't find Bunn." "Can't find him?" I echoed. "Hasn't he been at the office?" "No. And that isn't the worst of it," lie replied. "Archer has sent up to Mrs. Stewart's," Bunn's boarding place, "and it seems that lie wasn't there last night." "Good heavens!" I exclaimed. "Can be have gone out 011 one of those long evening walks of his and fallen dead in an out of the way place? I don't mean to be heartless. Donaldson, but you know what this 1 teans to us." "It means destrm ion," said he. "That's the name of it." "Do you remember," said I, "that when Don was talking to Jim Bunn the other day he seemed to get an im pression that this vote would be a hnndred shares short? Can that have been a vague hint that something was going to happen to Bunn?" "I tried to get the boy by telephone," nnswered Donaldson. "Dorothy doesn't know where lie is. Nobody knows." "I wish we had him here," said I. Upon a chance 1 went to a public telephone and called up the office, but I got 110 word of any one, Archer, Bunn nor Donald. I had a curious experi ence with crossed wires, however, in the course of which I heard Kelvin's voice for a few minutes and made out that he was trying to get conimunicn tion with Gillespie. It came to me Mien to wonder whether that rascal tad spirited Bunn away. It was a 1.-ii-k that I did not believe Kelvin would stick at. Donaldson and I were entirely help less. Wo had to rely upon Archer, for we could not get to Tunbridge and back before the time set for the meet ing, and so, as there was nothing bet ter to do, we had a morsel of dinner. Shortly before 2 o'clock Archer ar rived in a pitiable state of excitement. "What shall we do?" he cried as soon as he was within speaking distance. "Without Bunn we're lost, and I can get 110 trace of the man. I've got aii Tunbridge hunting for him. We must hold up the meeting as long as we ■can." There were about a dozen of the stockholders in the room when we three entered. Tliorndyke was there, .and I immediately perceived that he was very restless. I could not get him into conversation. lie sat in a corner of a window seat in the attitude of a man with the stomach ache and drum med upon the floor with one foot, a habit that especially distresses me. Presently the meeting was called to order by a little dummy who acts as president of the company because more important men do not want the office. Some reports were read, and then, un der the rules, it became necessary to proceed to the election of a board of directors. I had a little scheme for holding back the vote, but it was not necessary to spring it immediately. Meanwhile the proxies were passed upon in the usual way, and tellers were appoint "I, one l'roin each party. They were 1» uaklsftn and a man named Al vin Green, a small stockholder who had goiK» entirely over to the Kelvin party, ■altlH>u:;li he owed his stock and every thing ei.-e which lie had in (lie world to me. There wen- two tickets that is, two lists < i men :,med for directors. The lists were printed and were entitled Ticket No. 1 and Ticket No. Ours was No. 1. I was about to begin my tactics for delay wlu-n there was a loud knocking at the door, which was locked. We all jumped up from our places around the long table except Tliorndyke, who had maintained his seat in the window throughout the proceedings and did not stir at the noise. The door was opened, and Jim Bunn stalked into the room, with the air of a crazy man. I cast one look at him and then turni 1 toward Kelvin. My enemy had seized upon Archer, who happened to be nearest to him, and had dragged him into a corner. I judged that Kelvin was protesting upon one ground or another against the admis sion of Bumfs vote, but I could not hear what was said. So I turned to Itunn. "Well, Jim." said I "where have you been?" "Wait," said he, speaking like a man in a trance. "Wait. I'm here to vote." "That's what we're all here for,"l responded, "and the sooner the better." Quiet was restored, and the voting began, the ballots being dropped into a hat. When all had been collected, the tellers took tlieni to a little table in tlie corner and proceeded to make tlie count. I glanced across at Donaldson and saw instantly that he had encoun tered a most unpleasant surprise. In great uneasiness 1 turned to Carl. He was gnawing his lingers. Bunn sat rigid in a chair, his head thrust for ward, his eyes staring. I began to feel a dire isolation. These men seemed to know something 01 which I was ignorant. The perspira tion started from my face. I would have given much for a gift of prophecy to anticipate the events of the next few minutes, and this wish naturally suggested Donald. I took from mj pocket the envelope which contained his prediction and turned it nervously in my fingers. Curiosity overcame me, I broke the seal and read, with great surprise, this line: "The Harrington ticket will win by 300 majority." While 1 was vainly trying to make this result fit 1 lie mathematical possi bilities, I heard the tellers rise from their table. Donaldson handed a slip of paper io the secretary of the com pany, who read as follows: "All ballots are straight. No. 1 ticket has received the preferences of the holders of u.1.j0 shares. Xo. 2 ticket has received the preferences of the holders of l, w r,o shares. No. 1 ticket is therefore elected." "Here!" cried Kelvin. "There's some mistake about this. We'll verify those ballots." I expected a reply from Donaldson, but he had crossed to the end of the table where Carl was sitting. I fol lowed and torn lied him on the shoul der. (To*be continued.) 1 Jfot i'nrensonnlile.
