Net se Pinte or Crewe. wie nccmce urea out, end were all the mere wenry looking Etcaune tlicy were both conspicuously sntharen. "Half the games wen," sntd the colonel. "We'll get rid of this girl and Selly White by the same stroke. I'm afraid of Selly he knows tee much. By the way, Raeul Is coming ever." "Raeul !" said Crewe, sitting up sud denly. "Why, colonel, you're crnayl Didn't the Scejand Yard man say " "That he suspected a French hand ja the case of Snow Gregery? All the mere reason why Raeul should come," said the colonel calmly. "He ought te Kpert this morning." 'You're taking a risk,' muttered Pinte. "Nothing unusual," replied the colo nel shelling a plover's egg; "It is the Jut thine In the world they would sua 'Met at Scotland Yard, after their warn iBf, that I should bring Raeul ever iralB. Besides, they don't knew him anyway. He's just a harmless young French cabinet maker. He doesn't talk, and I will get him out of the silly habit cf leaving his visiting card." There was a silence which Crewe broke. "Yeu want him for " He did net finish the sentence. "Fer work," replied the colonel. "It It n thousand pities, but It would be a thousand times a thousand pities if you and I were arrested and wait ing In the condemned cell for the arrival of the eminent .hangman. Raeul's n workman. We can trust him. He doesn't try any funny business. He lives out of this country, nnd I can cover his tracks. Resides' the colo nel went en, "I shall gire him enough te live In comfort for the next two years. Raeul Is n grateful little beast, and. thank goodness he can neither read nor write." , "I don't like It," snld Crewe; "I hnje that kind of thing. Why net give Helly n chance? Why net get up a nght a duel, anything but murder?" The colonel turned his told eyes upon the ether, nnd his lips parted in a, mirthless smile. "You're speaking up te your charac ter new, aren't you, Crewe?" he said unpleasantly. "You're 'Gentleman Crewe' once again, eh? Want te de everything In the correct fashion? Well. you rut out all that ntuff. I'm Dan Boundary, looking forward te n plensant old nge. There's nothing of the Knights of the Round Table about me." Cicwe flushed. "All fight," he snld; "hnve it your own way." "Yeu bet your llfe I'm going te hnye it my own way," said the colo nel. "Have you seen the girl this morning, Pinte?" Pinte shook his head. "You'll keep ewny from there for a couple of days. I've get Beyten en the spot, und he'll be feeding her with bromide till she won't core where she is. Besides, we'll all be shadowed for the next day or two. Make no mistake about that. Stafferd King won't let the grass grew under his feet. And new go home nnd try te leek as though you've hed a night's rest." After their departure the colonel mode his own preparations. There were Turkish baths In Westminster, nnd it was te the Turkish baths he went. Clad in a towel, be passed from het room te het room, and finally came te the big, vaulted saloon, tiled from fleer te reef, where in canvas-backed chairs the bathers dozed and read. The colo celo cole nel lay back in his chair, his eyes closed, apparently oblivious te his surround ings. Ner was it te be observed that he saw the thin little man who came and sat beside him. The newcomer was sallow-skinned and lantern -jawed, and his long arms were tattooed from shoulders te wrist. "Here!" said a soft voice in French. The colonel did net open his eyes. He merely dropped the pnlm fan which he was wnvlng idly te nnd fro, se that it hid bis mouth. "De you remember n Mr. White?" he said In the same tone. "Perfectly," replied the ether. "He was the man who would net hnve your llttla 'snow' friend disposed of." "That is the man," said the ether. "Yeu have n geed memory, Rneul." "Monsieur, my memory Is wonderful, but, alas I one cannot live en memory," he added sententleusly. "Then remember this: There is a nlace near Londen cnllmi Putmv Heath." "Putney Heath," repeated the ether. "There is n heuse called Bishops-helme." "Blshopshelmc," repeated the ether. "It is empty te Jet, you under stand? It is in n sad state of desolation. The garden, the house you knew the kind of place?" "Perfectly, monsieur." "At 0 o'clock tonight and at D o'clock tomorrow night you will be near the deer. There Is n large clump of bushes, behind which you will stand. Yeu will stay there until 10. Between these hours Mr. White will approach nnd go Inte the house. Yeu under stand?" 'Perfectly, monsieur," snld the voice again,. "Yeu will sheet him se that he dies Immediately." "He Is n dead man," said the ether. There was n long pause. "I will pay you sixty thousand francs, nnd I will hnvc a meter ear te talfe you directly te Dever. Your passports will be in order, nnd you can mnke your way te Paris at your leisure. The payments you will receive in Paris. Is that satisfactory?" "Eminently se, monsieur," sold the ether. "I need n llttle for expenses for the moment. Alse I wish Informa tion as te where the meter cer will meet me." "It will be waiting for you at the corner of the first read past the heune, en the way from Londen. Yeu will, In fact, nass It en the way te the house. Yeu will 'net speak te the chauffeur and he will net speak te you. In the car you will find sufficient money for your Immediate needs. Is there any necessity te explain further?" "Nene whatever, monsieur," said the soft voice, and Raeul dropped his head en ene side as though he were sleeping. As for the colonel, he did net simu late slumber, but passed into dream land, sleeping quietly and calmly, with a leek of benevolence upon his big face. The only ether occupant of the cool ing room, a big-framed man who was reading a newspaper, closed bis eyes, tee but he did net sleep. CHAPTER XVII Solemon Cemes Rack At J) o'clock that night the colonel, in immnculnte evening dress, sat play ing double-dummy bridge with his two comnnnlens. In the light of thn hi? shaded lamp overhead there was some thing peaceful and Innocent In their occupation. Ne word was spoken save of the game. It was a quarter te nine, noted the colonel, looking nt the llttle French clock en the mantlcplecc. He rose, walked te the window nnd looked out. It was a stormy night nnd the wind was howling down the street, sending the rain in noisy splashes against the windewpancs. He grumbled his satis faction and returned te the table. "Did you see the paper?" asked Pinte presently. "I saw the paper." said the colonel, net looking up from his hand. "I make a point of reading the newspapers." "Yeu see they've' made a feature of , r "Mention no names," said the colo nel. "I knew they've made a feature about it. Se much the better. Every thing depends "' It was as he spoke that Solemon Whlte came into the room. Boundary knew It was he before the deer-handle turned, before the hum of voices in the hall outside had censed, but it was with a great pretense of- surprise that he looked up. ' "Why, 1 it isn't Solemon White 1" he said, The man was haggard and sick leek ing. He had evidently drowsed in a hurry, for Ills cravat was ill tied and the cellar gaped. He Btrede slowly up te the taSle, and Boundary's man servant, with a little grin, closed the deer. , "Where have you been all this time, Solemon?" asked Boundary genially. "Sit down and play a hand." "Yeu knew why I've come," breathed Solemon White. "Surely I knew why you've come. You've come te explain where yeu've been, old boy. Sit down," said Bound ary. "Where is my daughter?" asked White. "Where is your daughter?" repeated the colonel. "Well, that's n queer question te ask us. We've been saying. 'Where is Solemon Whlte?' all this time." "I've been te Brighten' said the man. "but that's nothing te de with it " "Been at Brighten? A verr' pleasant place, tee," said Boundary. "And what were you doing at Brighten?" "Keeping out of your way," said White fiercely, "trying te cure the fear of you which has made a rank coward of me I If you wanted te find a method for curing me, colonel, you've found it.

With this week's issue of The Digest the votes received and tabulated total ever 600, 000. Included in this tabulation are the results of polls taken in some of the big industrial plants, and they may be said fairly te gauge the sentiment of factory empleyes. In factories where these polls have been taken the workers have been assured of an absolutely secret ballet, and careful precautions have been taken te insure against any possibility of plural voting. A fair proportion of the wives of these workingmen will, no doubt, vote in The Digest's poll of 2,000,000 women votes, new under way. As has already been explained, practically all the names from which returns have se far been tabulated were taken from the telephone books of the country. The newspaper press everywhere is hailing this comprehensive poll as one of the biggest journalistic enterprises ever undertaken. If you would knew the sentiment in your State for and against Prohibition, and for and against a Federal Benus for soldiers and sailors in the late war, get this week's "Digest" and study the intensely interesting returns. i I Other Big Newa-Features This Week: Why "Seniority" Matters in the Railway Strike-Lenine Under Socialist Fire-Asking England te Help Keep Us Dry Speaking for the Foreign-Bern Miners Uncle Sam Hand Fritf His Bill-Italy's New Political Crisis-Germa?
