AND HKRC IT CONTINUES
'A IAj TIIK pnsslen of tlic mnn was en
A the surface new. Lcnn nml Riiiint.
Ms body seemed te crouch forward eh
though te "Prlnc; his tinntls, wltli
finders crooked like clnws renchltiR for
their prey, wcic outstretched before
him. Hlxty-enc days' stnrt Mlllmnii
jud. Hut Mlllman would need mere
than thnt! The only mnn In the
world whom he hnd ever truated, nnd
who bad then betrujed him, would need
mere thnn sixty-one tlnys te cenpe
tbe reckoning thnt was te come. Mill
man might hide, Mlllinnn mlglit lire for
years In lavish enfe en that money,
juid In the end there might be none of
that money left, but foenor or later
Mlllmnn would pny n bigger price thnn
a hundred thousand dellnrs. II"
would get Mlllmnn. The world wasn't
big enough for the two of them. And
when that day came
His muscles relaxed. The paroxysm
of fury left him, nnd middcnly" he
moaned n llttle as though In bitter
hurt. There was nnether side te It.
He could net help thinking of thnt
etlitr elde. There hnd been two jenis
of what he thought was friendship and
the friendship had been hypocrisy. It
was hard te believe. Perhaps Millman
meant te play square nfter nil, perhaps
Mlllman would keep thnt rendezvous
In cw lerk en June twenty-fourth nt
fight o'clock In the evening nt the St.
Luclnn Hetel. Perhaps Mlllmnn would.
It wasn't only en ncceunt of the money
that lie hop"i Mlllmnn would there
were theso two jenrs of whnt he hnd
thought wns friendship.
He leaned suddenly ngninst the wnll
of the cell, the palms of his hands
pressed ngninst it. his face crushed Inte
hi knckles. Xe ' Whnt wns the use
of that: Why try te delude himself
gain? Why try te make himself be
lieve what he wnnted te believe? lie
reiild reason new coolly and logically
enough. If Mlllmnn wns honest he
Tvouldnet de whnt he had offered te de;
nnd being, therefore, dishonest, his ap
parent honesty hnd been only n mnsk,
nnd the mnslc hnd been only for his,
Dave Hendersen's, benefit, nnd that,
logically, could evidence but one tiling
that Mlllmnn had deliberately set him
self te win the confidence that would
win for Mlllman the stake of one hun
dred thousand dallnrs. There wns no
'ether conclusion, was there?
His bend enme up from his hnuds,
and be steed rigid, tense. Wnit!
TTalt a minute, until his bruin cleared.
There was another pesslbllltv. lie hnd
net thought of it before! It confused
nnd staggired him new. Suppose that
Mlllman steed in with the police!
Eiippo-e that the police iiad used Mill
wan for just the purpose that Mlllmnn
had nrcempllshcd ! Or why net?
suppese that Mlllman was even one of
the pelice himself! It was net se ten
We a theory as It wns te assume thnt
Mlllman had acted ns n steel-pigeon;
hut It wns, even nl that, well within
the renlnt of possibility. A inaif would
net count two yenra ill spent en ti rne
that involved th.e recovery of n hundred
thousand dollar's nor hesitate te play
J convict's pnrt, either, if necessary. It
had been done before.
Until Ilnrjnn had come. Inst night,
the police had made no sign for jears
unless Mlllman were indeed one of
them, and. believing nt the Inst tlffit he
wib facing failure, hnd called in liar
Jan. Mlllman hadn't hnd n. hard time
of it in the penitentiary. His education
had been the cxcusp, if It were an ex
cuse, for all the soft clerical jobs. AVhe
was te knew if Millman ever spent the
nltcfata in his cell?
Dave Hendersen crushed his fists
"gainst his temples. What did it matter?
In the long run, what did it matter?
"reek, or informant, or an officer, Mill-
feaa hud wrecked him, nnd lie would
pay his debt te Millman! He leur-hed
low renin, whiln hltf troth fMn-nl nl
his lips. There were Bnrjan nnd Beekie
hkarvan -and new Mlllman ! And
Baldy VlcKurs nnd the underworld 1
There wasn't much chance, wns
there? Net much te expect new in re

worn these prison stripes, net much out

he would fight. lie had never hedged.
He would tiever hedge. They hnd him
with lils hack te the wall. He knew
that. There wasn't much clinnee new;
there wasn't nny. If he looked the
situation squarely In the fnce. Up steed
alone, absolutely nlene; there wns no

His hand was ngninst every ether

And Millman! TJp nhove his hrnd
liis hands twisted nnd knotted together
again, nnd the great muscular shoulders
locked back, nnd the clean, straight

Yes, he remembered old Tenv'p strange
appearance that afternoon. He rattled
again nnd ngnln en the bnrs. Old Teny
wns meaning new.
Footsteps en the 1 tin sounded nleqg
the Iren gallery. A guard passed by;
another pnuscd nt the deer.
"(let hack out of there!" growled the
gunrd. "Heat It! Get back te your
cot!"
Dave Hendersen retreated te the
center of the cell. He heard old Teny's
deer opened. Then muffled voices. And
then n voice that wai quite audible
(die of the guard's :
"I gucfcH-hc's snuffed out. Get the
doe and. yes, tell the warden, If he
hasn't gene te bed yet."
Snuffed out! TherR was n queer,
choking sensation In Dave Hendersen's
threat. A guard ran along the gnllery.
Dave Hendersen edged silently close up
te the deer of liis cell again. lie
couldn't sec very much only a gleam
of lightrem Leinnzrl's cell that fell en
the iron plates of the gallery. There
wns no sound from within the ether cell
new.
Snuffed out! The thought thnt old
Teny wns dead affected him In a
numbed, groping sort of way. Tt had
ceme with such stnrtling suddenness!
He hnd net grasped It yet. He won
dered whether he should be sorry or
glad for old Teny death wns the lifer's
goal. He did net knew. It bi ought,
though, n great aching Inte his own
soul. It seemed te stamp with the ul
timate tonight the Immeasurable void In
his own life. Old Teny was the last
link between himself and that thing of
priceless worth that men called friend
ship. Millman hnd denied It. eutrnged
it, betrnyed it; nnd new old Teny hnd
swerved In his allegiance, and turned
away at the call 01 a grcafr friend.
Yes, denth could net be anything but n
trierd te Teny. There seemed te be no
longer .any doubt of that in his mind.
Footsteps, several of them, came ngnln
nleng the Iren gnllery, racketing through
the night, but they did net pass his
cell this time; they came fiein the ether
dliectien. and went into Lenuirzfs cell.
It was strange that this :.lieiild hove
happened tonight! There would be no
mere shoulder-touch Ip the lock-step for
the few days that were left ; no smile of
eyes and lips across the carpenter shop ;
no surreptitious, intlmnte little, gestures
of open-hearted companionship! It
teemed te crown in an appalling way, te
bring home te him new with n new nnd
appalling force what, five mimitcb age,
he had thought he had already appre
ciated te its fullest and bitterest depths
loneliness. He was alone alone
nlene.
The murmur of voices ciimc from the
ether cell. Time pnscd. He clung
there te the bnrs. Alene without help '
The presence of denth seemed te have
infused Itself into nnd te hnve become
synonymous with thnt thought. If
K"cinel Insidiously te ent Inte his soul
and being, te make his mind sick und

because he wns alone, ringed about with
feices that would incvitnbly overwhelm
his puny single-handed defiance be
cause he wns alone and it would he
hopeless te go further alone without
help.
He drew back suddenly from the deer,
conscious iev the lirt time thnt lm must
have been clutching nnd strnlnlng at
the bnrs with all his stieiicth. Ills
fingers, relaxed new. were stiff, nnd the !
circulation seemed te hnve left them. I
A gunrd wns opening the deer.
Behind
the gunrd. that white-haired mnn wns
the warden. He had always liked the
warden. The mnn was stern, 1ml he

It was the warden who speke:
"Lemnzzl is dying. He hns begged

swept Ills hand across his eyes there
wns a sudden mist there that blurred the
scene nnd, moving ferwnrd, dropped
down en his knees beside the cot.
A hand renched out nnd grasped his
