. yiini kiie ten mm tiieie was a
without ulterior purpose. Perhaps the
puwle the Assumption that there was
n "nigger In the woodpile" arose from
the puerility of the scheme nnd the
formidable intellect of the prometir.
An ordinary man, promoting such a
crazy preposition, wouldn't nave been
n puzzle bfit a joke.
The man's laughter the hollowness
of it nnd the shading of the mockery
was in itself something te speculate
upon. Hnd hc ever known Kllas Ban
croft? There seemed te be only one
way of solving the riddle, and that was
te sign the contract, If there was such
an Instrument. It wns no feel's curios
ity. If Milan Bancroft hnd been shocked
te death his son wanted te knew why
nnd by whom.
First he would call en Lawyer Snell
and get nil the business details off the
slate; then he would quiz, the head
clerk, Jehnsen, as te that gentleman's
suspicions thnt Silas Bancroft had been
scared te death. After this he would
be free te go where and net hew he
plcqsed, Under an assumed name he
would find lodgings in some modest
rooming house preferably one of his
own and then he would fare forth In
quest of knowledge, for he wanted te
learn something about the life of the
grout city before he essayed te match
lances with the Great Adventure Com Cem
pnny. Supposing he wasn't Silas Bancroft's
son? The question, coming like n Belt
from the blue, hud the effect of blud
geoning his faculties. Fer n moment hc
steed dazed. Whnt agency had permitted
such a quest Ien te disrupt his sentimen
tal nursings? Net Silas Bancroft's son?
Surely his mind was full of unaccount
able kinks this morning.
He heard voices below nnd lent nn
car.
"And nobody ever dreamt of It!"
Ne mere did I."
"What's he Being te de with it?"
I'm Mire I don't lennw. Mr, T.ln.
denj" answered the voice of Mrs.
Heme.
Se Williams had spread the news as
quickly ns this? Bancroft shrugged. It
'in1 'i0 bc, known : se It didn't matter.

sied his eventual hanging would refer

"I suppose he'll go te New Yerk,
where he can spend it," said Mrs. Lin
den, bitterly.
"He will," replied Bancroft, sotto
voice; "and this very night!"
"Atityineliiles and moving picture
actresses and nil thnt. He nin't se in
nocent. Or he'll go gouging folks the
way his father did."
"What he does with his money is
his own business."
"Did you knew thnt there was a
young woman here Inst night and that
he went with her ever te the Central?"
'es; nnd l gave the peer young
thing a pair of stockings nnd my best
shoes."
"Oh!" A pause. "What did he leave
you?"
"Nothing."
"Wliut after all your years of faith
ful service.' Well, 1 never heard "
"I was regularly paid. But hew did
J'u ; find out there was millions?"
Why. he told Williams laBt night,
heven millions! And the geed Lord
knows hew much bleed in nn h.it
money. Millions, and he never gave a
cent te this town, where both his wife
and son were bem. He didn't even can
cel the mertgnge en the First Presby
terlnn Church. Oh, I knew where he is
this minute."
"I wouldn't slnndcr the dead, Mrs.
Linden. ou nil ought te be satisfied
with the way you treated him when he
wns alive. There mv ceffpn'a hnllln-
ever. I can smell It. You'll hnve te
excuse me."
The Neighbors Are Curious
Silence followed. Bnncreft peered
from behind his curtain. He saw Mrs.
Linden something of a grenadier
mnrchlng stormily down the path te the
gate. He blew a mocking kiss after her;
ter this conversation bad suggested a
hue idea.
He was hungry when he entered the
