Five men and a girl board the train, the Eastern Express. The father of the girl, Mr, Dorne, is the person for whom the train was held.

The Latron himself, lost temporarily their interest in the public curiosity over the personality of Santoine. It had been reported for some days that Santoine had come to Seattle di. rectly after Warden's death: but when this was admitted, his associ ates had always been careful to add that Santoine, having been a close personal friend of Gabriel Warden, had come purely In a personal capac. ity, and the impression was given that Santoine had returned quietly some days before. The mere prolonging of his stay in the West was more than suggestive that affairs among the powerful were truly In such state as Warden had proclaimed: this attack upon Santoine, so similar to that which had slain Warden, and delly. ered within eleven days of Warden's death, must be of the gravest signifi cance, Jonnery stood overwhelmed for the moment with this fuller recognition of the seriousness of the disaster which had come upon this man in trusted to his charge; then he turned to the surgeon, “Can you do anything fob him here, Doctor? he asked, The surgeon glanced down the ear. “That stateroom-—Is it occupled 1 LI .0.9.9.9. . “It's occupied by his daughter, “We'll take him In there, then” The four men lifted the inert figure of Basil Santolne, carried It into the drawing room and laid it on Its back upon the bed. “I have my Instruments,” Sinclair said. “I'll get them; but before I de- cide to do anything, I ought to see hls daughter.

He met her In the aisle and took her hand. “Was It successful, dear?” Avery asked, She shut her eyes before she an- swered, and stood holding to the back of a seat; then she opened her eves saw Baton snd recognized him and sat down In the seat where Avery had been sitting. “Doctor Sinclair says we will know In four or five days” she replied to Avery; she turned then directly to Eaton. “He thought there probably was a clot under the skull. and be operated to find It and relieve It + ought to gone except Santoine. riet the « ie would he She but did went not di drawing side conductor Edwin Balmer There was one, and we have done all we can; now we may only walt, Doc tor Sinclair has appointed himself nurse; he says 1 can help him, but not just yet. 1 thought you would Hke to know.” “Thank you: I did want to know,” Caton acknowledged.

Eaton told himself that there should be no danger to himself from this in- quiry, directed against ne one, but including comprehensively everyone on the train. When the conductors had left the car, he put his magazine away and went into the men's com- partment to smoke and calm his nerves, His return to America had passed the bounds of recklessness; and what a situation he would now be in if his sctjons brought even serious suspicions against him!
