When llassett could apparently find nothing te bay he went en: "Yeu say I may be arrested if I 10 out en the btrcet. And you rather mere than Intimate that n woman named lleverly Carlysle is mixed up in it somehow. I take it that I knew her." "Yes. Yeu knew her," Bassctt said ilenly. At the Intimation in his tone Dick surveyed him for a moment with- v out speaking. Ills face, pale before, took en a cra.vish tlnce. , "I wasn't married te her?" "Ne. Yeu didn't marry her. See here, Clark, this is straight goods, Is it? You're net trying te put some thing ever en me? Because if you arc, jeu needn't. I'd about made up my mind te fellow the story through for niy evin satisfaction, nnd then quit cold In It. When n man's pulled himself out of the mud ns you have it's net my business te pull him down. But I don't want you te pull any bunk." Dick winced. "Out of mud!" he said. "Ne. I'm telling you the truth, Bassett. I have leme fragmentary memories, places and people, but no names, and all of them, I Imagine from my childhood. I pick up at a cabin In the mountains, .with inew around, and David Livingstens weaing me soup with n tin spoon." Ife tried te smile and failed. His face twitched. "I could stand It for my Mjf," he said, "but I've tied another life te mine, like a cursed feel, and new you speak of a woman, and of trrest. Arrest! Fer what?" "Suppebc," Bassett said Utter m moment, "suppose you let that go just new, and tell me mero about this this HP. You're a medical man. You've probably gene into your own case pretty thoroughly. I'm accepting your stato state ent, jeu see. As a matter of fuct it must be true, or you wouldn't be we. But I've get te knew what I'm doing before I Jay my cards en the Wble.

Dick put down the glass. 1 m reauy, it you are." 'Docs the name of Clark recall nny thine te you?" "Nothing." "Judsen Clark?-.Tud Clark? Dick passed his hand ever his head wearily. . "I'm net sure," he said. "It sounds familiar, and then it doesn't. It doesn't mean anything te me, if you get that. If it s a key, it doesn't unteck. That's all. Am I Judsen Clark?" Oddly enough Bassett found himself seeking for hope of cscnpe in the very situation that had previously irritated him, in the story he had heard nt Was- son a. He considered, and said, almost violently : Loek here, I may have made a mls- toke. I came out here pretty well convinced I'd found the solution te an old iinystery, and for that matter I think I have. But there's n twist in It that Isn't clear and until it is clear I'm net going te saddle you with an Identity that may net belong te you. Yeu are one of two men. One of them is .Tudson Clark, nnd I'll be honest with you j I'm pretty euro you're Clark. The ether I don't knew, but I have reason te believe that he bpent part of his time with Henry Llving Llving Llving etone at Dry Hiver." "It went tl the Livingstone ranch yesterday. I remember my early home. That was't it. Which one of these two men will be arrested if he is recognized?" "Clark." "Fer what?" "I'm rnnilmr In thai. I Minnnxn rnii'll I have te knew. Anether drink? Ne? AH right. About ten years uge, or n little less, n young chap called Judsen Clark get into treuble Here, nnd headed into the mountains in a blls!znrd. He was supposed te have frozen te death. But recently a woman named Donald Donald eon made n confession en her rlpntli. bed. She said she had helped te nurse Clark in a mountain cabin, nnd that with the old of seme ene unnamed he had get away." "Then I'm Clark. I remember her and the cabin." There was a short silence following thnt admission. Te Dick, it wus tilled with thought of Elizabeth, and her re lation te what he was about te hear. Again he braced himself for what was coming. "I suppose," he said at Inst, "tha 11 i ran away X was In pretty serious trouble. What was it?" "We've get no absolute proof that you are Clark, remember. Yeu don't knew. II ml Mniririe Dnnnlrlsnn m. .. sidered net quite sane before bhe died. I've told jeu there's n chance you are the ether man." A" ,rigllt' vl,at hns Werk done?" "He had shot a man." The rcimrtrr wnu InttfnnOv nln.m.,1 If Dick had been haggard before, he was It was murder, ghastly new. Ha get up slowly and held te the back of nls chair. "Net murder?" he asked with stiff lips. "Ne," Bassett Bald quickly "Net at all. See here, you'e had about nil you can stand. Ilrmcmber, we don't even knew you are Clark. All I said trnn-" "I understand thnt, ...oe.ll. KVI "Well, there had been a quarrel, I understand. The law allows for that, I think." Dick went slowly te the window, and steed with his back te Bassett. Fer a long time the room was quiet. In. the street below long lines of cars In front of the hotel denoted the lunch hour. An Indian woman with n child in the shnwl en her back stepped In the street, looked up nt Dick and extended n bead ed belt. With It still extended she con tinued te leek nt his white face. "The man died, of ceurse?" he asked nt Inst, without turning. "Yes. I knew him. ne wasn't any frcat less. It was at the Clnrk ranch, don't bcllcve n conviction would be possible, although thcy would try for one. It wns circumstantial evidence." "And I ran away?" "Clark ran nwny," Bassett corrected him. "As I've told you. the authorities here bellcve he Is dead." After an even longer silence Dick turned. "I told you thcre wns a girl. I'd like te think out some wny te keep the thing from her, before I surrender my self. If I enn Dretcct her. nnd David." "I tell you, you don't even knew you nre Clnrk." "All right. If I'm net. they'll knew. If I am I tell veu I'm net 10 i tic through the rest of my life with a thing iiae mis nnngtng ever mc. Miiggie Donaldsen was sane enough. Why, when I leek back, I knew our leaving the cabin was it flight, I'm net Henry Livingstone's eon, because he never had a son. I can tell 1011 what the Clnrk riiich house leeks like." An.l after n pause: "Can you imagine the reverse of a dream when you've dreamed ou nre guilty of something, nnd wake up te find you are innocent? Wiio wae the man?" Bassctt wntched him nar.-jwir. "His name was Lucas. Heward Lucas." All right. New we have that, where does Beverly Carlysle ceme in?" "Clnrk wns infatuated with her. The man he bhet wns the mnn she married." ttmAtemxmK, FRIDAY, 7 OCTOBER fr 1922 'W 'Iff,, Shortly after that Dick said he would- go te his room. He was still pale, but tils eyes looked bright and feverish, nnd Bnssctt went with him, unenslly con scious that something was net quite right. Dick speke only once en the wny. "My hend aches like the mischief," he snld, and his voice was dull sad lifeless. He did net want Bassctt te go with him, but Busbctt went, nevertheless. DlckM statement that he meant te sur render himself had filled him with un easiness. He determined, following him along the hall, te keep a close guard en film for the next few hours, but beyond thnt, just then, he did net try te go. If it were humnnly possible he mennt te smuggle him out of the town nnd take him East. But he hml an unensy conviction that Dick wns geln te be 111. The mind did strnnze things with the body. Dick sat down en the edge of the bed,- "My head aches like the mischief," he repeated. "Loek in thnt grip nnd find me some tablets, will you? I'm dizzy." lie made an effort and stretched out en the bed. "Geed Lord," he muttered "I haven't had such a headache since " Ills voice trailc.1 off. Bassett, bend ing ever the army kit bag in the corner, straightened up te leek around. Dick was suddenly ns'ecp and brcathirg heavily. Fer a long time the reporter Bat by the slde of the bed, watching him nnd trying te plan a ceurse of action. He wns overcome with his own responsi bility and by the pre.spjct of tragedy that threatened. That Llvlnestone wiin Clark, and that he weuIJ Inslxr en mr. rendering himself when he nwnkened, he ceuU no longer doubt. His mind wandered back te that day when he had visited the old house ns a patient, nnd from thnt long htrnuge read they had both come since then. He re flected, net exactly in these terms, that life, any man's life, wns only one thread in njattem woven of nn infinite number of threads, and that te tangle the one thread was te Interfere with the ethers.
