" Peter paused In tho act of pouring out nnothcr drink for him and then at a sound from Kennedy sot the bottle down ngain. Tho mnn suddenly sprawled sideways In the chnir, his head back, snoring heavily. Peter watched nlm for n moment, sure that he couldn't bo shnmming and then looked around the disordered room, Hawk's overcoat and hat lay on tho bed. On tiptoe Peter got m nnd examined them care fully, watching the mnn In tho chair Intently the while. Hawk stirred hut did not awaken. Peter searched tho overcoat Inch by Inch. There was noth ing In the pockets but n tin of tobacco and a Philadelphia newsnaner. So Peter icstorcd tho articles and then hung the lint nnd coat on the nails behind the door. Hawk Kennedy did not move. He was dead drunk. Tho repulsive task of searching tho iccumbent figure now lay before him. Hut the game had been worth tho candle. If the fateful confession was anywhere In Hnwk's clothing Peter meant to find it and yet even now ho hesitated. Ho put the whisky bottle nwny, cleared up the mess and thru bodily picked his visitor up and car ried him to the lied. Uawk muttered something In his sleep, hut fell prone nnd immediately was snoring htortorously. Then Peter went through his pockets methodically, removing an automatic pistol from IiIh trousers, nnd examin ing all his papers carefully by the light of the lamp a hotel bill receipted, some letters in a woman's linnd, a few news paper clippings bearing on the copper mnrkct, u pockotbnok containing hills of large denomination, some soiled business cards of representatives of commercial houses, a notebook contain ing addresses and small accounts, n pass book of a Philadelphia bank, the address of which Peter noted. And thnt was all. Exhausting every re source Peter went over the lining of his cont and vest, inch by inch, even exam ined ills underwear anil his shoes nnd stockings. From the skin out, Ilnwk Kennedy had now no secrets from Peter. The Incriminating confession wns not on Hawk Kenned 'a clothing. At last Peter gave up the search and went out Into the nlr. nnd lighted his corncob pipe, puzzled nt his failure. And yet, was it n failure after ull? Hawk had eluded every attempt to dis cuss his copv of the confession. He had It "handy," he had faid. A safe deposit box nt tho Philadelphia bank of which Peter had mode record would be hand, hut lomehow Peter thought the chances weic much against Ken nedy's having put It there. Men of his type usually carry ever thing they pos sess about their persons. Peter remem bered tlie ragged wallet of the Her mudlun. What if afler all these years of bardsnipi the paper had been worn so that it was entliely illegible, or indeed thnt in Kennedy's many wanderings it had been lost? Hither of these theories wns plausible, but none pre voiced a decision. So nfter a while Peter went indoors, nnd, opening nil Ibe windows and doors to cleanse the nlr, sat in tlu Mr (hair and bundling himself in a blanket, fell asleep. . - . . ' : t 1 . b"'.'s S. . ..

Put Hcth, being who'esomo of mind and body nnd nn o'ltimist by choice, wus not disposed to question the completeness of her contentment or look for nnv dangers which misht thienton its con tinuance. Ami io when Peter went home through the? forest she took her Kerosene lump to her room, theie to smile nt her jojous countenance In tho mirror and to assuio heiself thnt never since tho besinnlng of tho world had theio been n gli'l more glad thnt she bad been boin. All The clouds that had hung about her since that evening in the woods had bum miraculously rolled nwav and she knew njaln ns she had known befoio that Peter Nichols wiw the one man in all tic world for her. Their evening together was a won dei fill thins to contemplate, and she lay in bed, her ces wide open, staring towaid the window, beyond which in a daik mass against the starlit sky she could bee tho familiar pines, through which wns tho path to Peter's cabin. The stnis twinkled jovially with assur ence that tho nloht could not be long nnd that beyond tho night weie tomor iowh still moie wondeiful than todav. And pra im; gently that all might bo well with them both, she fell asleep, not cmmi to dream. Karly morning found her brisk nt her until iirniiml tlie bouse, cleansing and polishing, finishing to her satisfaction the tasks which Peter's impatience had forbidden the nlglit neioro. ah or Aunt Tlllie's blue chlnu set wns care fullv rctond to Its shelves, the napery folded aw ay, the shiny pots hung upon their hooks and the kitchen cniefull popped. Then, with n towel wrapped Jiout her lie.nl (for such was the cus nnii of the countr), she attacked the dining room and parlor with broom am dust cloth, singing nrpoggiob to remind heiself that eerthlng was right with the world. , , , , It was upon tho plush-covered sofa .. i,,..... ..I... iimi lvtiT Imil sut the night befoio that Heth's orderly eyo espied IlOIIll tw eon moat nnd of course blio iiminced upon It with tho intention, of destroying it nt tho cook u.,,.n urn- when slio drew It forth she found that it was nn envelope helio trope in color, that it bore Peter's name In u feminine handwriting, and that It had n i tiaugo delicate odor with which Hoth was unfamiliar. She put her broom aside and walked to the window, her blow puckered, and scrutinized tho postmark. "London! Of coursi London wns in Kngiaml where Peter hail onre lived. And 1 ctcr had drawn the. letter fiom his pocket last night with some other papers when he had shown her the last communica tion from "Hawk" Kennedy. It was lucky that she hud found It, for it might have slipped down behind the plush cov ering, ond so lmvo been definitely lost. Of course Peter had friends in London mid of course they should wish to write to him, but for the first time It seemed curious to Iluth that in all their con versations Peter hud never volunteered nnv information ns to the life thnt ho had lived befoio Im nan come i Hock. Shu lemembereil now that sho hud told hlii that whatever Ills past lmd been and whoever he was, lip was guod enough for her. Hut the hello tropo envelope with tlie feminine hunt wilting and tho strange odor linniedl ntel suggested quejles along lines of Invcstiutlnn which had never befoio en tered her thoughts.
