AND mSBE IT CONTINUES
PAUL VENIZA'8 face had whitened
n little. Half In n startled, half in
a troubled way, he looked once mere
at Jehn Bruce and then at Hawkins.
"My peer friend I" he said again.
Jehn Bruce's hand en the arm of his
ehnJr clenched suddeply.
xeu may pcrnaps icei mat nc sneuici
net have told me of his relationship
te Claire: but It was this damnable sit
uatien with Crang that forced the
issue."
Paul Vcnlzn left Hawkins' side and
began te pace tbe room in an agitated
way.
Ne!" he said. "I de net blame
Hawkins. Wc we neither of us knew
what te de. It is e terrible, an awful
thing. Crang ia like some loathsome
creature te her. and yet In some way
that I cannot discover he has get her
into his power. I have tried everything,
used every argument I can with her,
pleaded with 'her and it has been use
less." He raised his. arms suddenly
above his head, partly it seemed in sup
plication, partly in menace. "Oh,
Ged I" he cried out. "I, tee, love her,
for she has really been my daughter
through nil' these ve.irs. But I de net
quite, understand." He turned te Haw
kins. "Even If you kept your premise
new, my friend, what connection has
that with Dr. Crang? Could that in any
way prevent this marriage t '
It was Jehn Bruce who answered.
"It is the last dlt.eh," he said evcnlv :
"the one way you have net trlqd te
tell her her own and her father's story.
I de net say It will succeed. But it Is
the great crisis In her life. It is the one
thing in the world that ought te sway
her, win her. Her father ! After twen
ty j cars her father I"
Paul Veniza's hands, tiembllng, ruf
fled through his white hair. Hawkins'
fingers fumbled, new with the buttons
en his vest, new with the brlnret his
hat which he had picked up aimlessly
the table ; and his eyes, lifting from the
fleer, glanced timorously, almost fur
tively, at Paul Venlza, nnd sought the
fleer again.
Jehn Bruce get up fvera bis chair
und steeDcd tewaul them.
"T want te tell you something," he
said sharplv, "that ought te put an end
te any hesitation en yeuf parts at any
nlnn. nn matter what, that offers even
the slightest chance of stepping this
marriage Listen! Devil though you
both believe this Crang te be, you de
net, either of you, even knew the man
for whar he is. While I was lying there"
he flung out his hand impulsively
toward tie couch "the safe here in
this room was opened and robbed one
night. Yeu knew that.' But you de
net knew that it was done by Dr. Crang
and his confederates. Yeu knew what
happened. 'But yen' de net knew that
while the 'burglars' pretended te held
urang a$ eav witu a revolver nna men
'made their 'cfcape,' Crang, with most
of the prqeeds of tnat retmery in ma
own pockets, was laughing' up his sleeve
nt teu."
Hawkins' jaw had dropped as he
Utarcd at Jehn Bruce.
"Craiig did it: Yeu veu say Crang
committed that robbery?" stammered
Paul Vcniza. "But you were uncon
scious! Still jeu veu seem te knew
that the safe was lobbed!"
"Apparently I de'." Jehn Bruce
laughed sberflv. "Crang, tee, thought
I was unconscious, but te make sure he
jabbed me "with bis needle. It took
effect just at the right time- for Crang
Just as you and' Glairr appeared in
tho-eTeerway. And" Mrbrbwlfknltted
together "It scms n litfle strah4c'thnt

PaurTcriiza coughed nervously.
"Yeu were Blek." ba said: "tee sick.
we thought, for -any exrttement.""
Hawkins suddenly leaned forward;
his wrinkled face was earnest.
"That Is nqttrue!" he snid bluntly.
"It might have been at" first, but It
wasn't 'after' you get better. It was
mostly your money that was stolen.

"Hawkins!" Paul Veulza called out
sharply in reproof.
"But he knows new it's gene." said
the old cabman a little helplessly. He
blundered en: "Paul felt 'he was re

afraid toil might net want te take It
If you knew, he had te make It up out

Jehn Bruce took a step forward, nnd
laid his hand en Paul Veniza's aheuldcr.
He' steed silently, looking at the ether.
"it la nothing!" saia raui veniza,
abashed.

Jehn Bruce shook his head.
"Yeu said yourself I was unconscious

make you testify that for days I had
been raving in delirium. I de net think

Hawkins bad halted In front of the swinging, doers
me te be the final proof that mere
argument with Cialre is useless, and
that something mero is necessary. I de
net ask you te release Hawkins from
bis pledge: I ask you tej believe his
promlbe this time because back et it he
knows it may save Claire from what
would mean werse than death te her.
I believe him; I will vouch for him.
De you ugrec, Paul Venlza?"
i' or en instant tbe white-haired
pawnbroker seemed lest in theucht!
then he nodded his head gravely.
"In the Inst few daya," he said
slowly, "I have felt that it wes no
longer my province te masquerade as her
father. I knew that my influence is
powerless. As you have said, It is the
crisis, a very terrible crisis, in her
life."
He turned toward Hawkins and held
out his hand. "My old friend" his
vole broke "I pray Heaven te aid
you te aid us nil."
Hawkins' blue eyes filled suddenly
with tears.
"Yeu believe me, tee, Paul, this
timet" he said in a choking voice.
"Listen. Paul! I premise! Se help
me. Ged I premise!"
A lump had somehow risen in Jehn
Bruce's threat. He turned awny, and
for a moment there was silence in the
room. And then he heard Paul Venlza
speak:
"Shu is dear te us all. Let us call
her unless, my old friend, jeu would
rather be, alone."
"Ne, no!" Hawkins cried hurriedly.
"I I want jeu both; but but net
new, don't call her new." He swept
bis hands ever his shabby, ill-fitting
clothes. "I net like this. I "
"Yes," said Paul Veniza gently. "I
understand and you are right. This
evening then at 8 o'clock. Yeu will
ceme back here, my old friend, at 8
o'clock. And de you remember, it was
in this very room, twenty years age,
that " He did net complete his
sentence; the het tears were streaming
unashamed down his cheeks.
Jehn Bruce was staring out of tbe
window, the panes of which seemed
curiously blurred.
"Come," h heard Pnul Venlza say.
And then, as the two men reached
the deer, Jehn Bruce looked around.
Hawkins had turned en the threshold.
I Something seemed te have transfigured
tne eia cae drivers tacc. it was il
lumined. There seemed something of
infinite pathos In the head held high,
In the drooped shoulders resolutely
squared.
"My little girl!" said Hawkins ten
derly "Tonight nt 8 o'clock my little
girl!"
CHAPTER X
t Flie Minutes te Eight
Bctoie the rickety washstand ami in
front of the cracked glass thnt birCed
ns n miner and was suspcndid from n
nail driven Inte the wall Hawkins was
shaving himself. Perhaps the light
from the wheeling gas-jet was oicr eicr
bad that ctcnlng, or perhaps It was
only in playful and facetious mood with
the mirror acting the role of co-Ceri-splrator;
Hawkins' chin emarted nnd
was raw; little specks of red showed
here and there through the repeated
coats of lather which he kept wraplng
off with his razor. But Haw Mm ap
peared willing te bacrlfice even the skin
Itself to"ebtnin the standard of smooth
ness which he hed evidently set before
himself ns his geul. And se eer and
ever again he applied the lather, and .
heed It off, nnd tested the result Ky,
rubbing thumb and forefinger critically 1
OYer his face. He made no grfmace,
nor did he show any Irritation M the
none-tee-keen blade that played havoc
with mere than the lather, nor did
he wince at what muBt at times have
been anything but n painless operation.
Hawkins' round, weather-beaten face
and old watery blue eyes smiled into the
mirror.
On the washstand beside him lay a
large, ungainly silver wntcb, Its case
worn smooth with years of service. It
had a hunting-case, nnd it was open.
Hawkins glanced at it. It was twenty
minutes te 8.
"I get te hurry," snid Hawkins
happily. "Just twenty minutes after
twenty years."
Hawkins laid nslde the razor, and
washed and scrubbed at his face until
It shene ; then he went te his trunk and
opened It. Frem underneath the tray
he lifted out nn old black suit. PerhapB
again It was tbe gas-jet in either bale
ful or facptleus mood, for, ns he put
en the suit, the doth In spots teemed
te possess, here a rusty, and there a
gtccnlsh, tlnge, nnd elsewhere te be
woefully shiny. Alse, but of this the
gas-jet could net have been held guilty,
the coat and trousers, and indeed the
waistcoat, were undeniably most sadly
wrinkled.
And new there seemed te be some
thing peculiarly congruous as between
the feeble gas-jet, the cracked mirror,
the wobbly washstand, the threadbare
strip of carpet that lay beside the iron
bed, and the old bcnt-sheuldercd figure
with wrinkled face In wrinkled finery
that steed there knotting with anxious,
nwkward fingers a large, frayed black
cravat about bis neck ; there seemed te
be something strikingly In keeping be
tween the man and his surroundings, n
sort of common Intimacy, as it were,
with the twilight et an existence that,
indeed, had never known the full sun
light of high neon.
It was ten minutes te 8.
Hawkins put the slher watch In his
pocket, extinguished the spluttering
gas-jet that hissed at him as though
In pretest nt the scant ceremony with
which It was treated, and went down
the stairs. He stepped briskly out en
the street.
"Claire!" said Hawkins radiantly.
"My little Claire ! I'm her imdrfrf;
she's going te knew It, I'm ge'ln,
get her te call me that daddr !"
Hawkins Walked, en halfway eftiitt
