been up the whole of the night, he
showed no signs of weariness.' 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.
I've ceme back for my daughter. Where
is she?"

The Velstead Act and the "wet
ness" of factory workers seem te form
the chief present centers of turbulence
in the flood of comment which The
Digest's poll of 10,000,000 voters of
the Natien is calling forth. 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.
