Imnmed the deer behind him. Ne need
ef aklng the chauffeur any questions as
te this or tnnt or wnereaueuis; tnu
(nil of this Journey would be nt Stew

tad net left It behind. Then he ru-
hiembereil the copy nt the ntliilavit
ntuck belilnd the bow of his hatband.
He would net require this new; se lie
tore It up. .
The mind had an odd way nf mls-
behavlne nt times. His thoughts new
iheuli! have been exclusively of Xancy
and were divided between Xancy and
Jenny. He wus very fend of Jenny;
te wanted te licit) her in some wnv.
The notion hnd been in hlx head for
tome dnys, nebulously, where he could
net nttnch it te a settlement. Xew
tbe notion came into the clear. He
would purchnsc a half interest In the
dressmaking shop where"1 Jenny pecd.
He would lend this half interest te
Jenny. If, by some stroke of bad luck
the establishment should fail, the lean
would net become a liability, but would
automatically reuse te exist. On the
ether hand, Jenny should pay him an
nually as much as she could, until the
lean was wiped out.
He chuckled. Ilcxnltn Mm fnnt thnt

"1 might counter that, air, by sayinj!
'lint n tittle misunderstanding is equal
ly a dangerous Hilnic." Hancreft's vole?
was thick, for bin heart was pounding.
He must de nothing te Inllnme thl-i
niidiiian: he must wait patiently for
the denouement.
"Olie t Se you nnd I misunderstand
each ether?"
"Yes. lr."
Stewart did net reply, hut approach
ed Hancreft and carried him te one of
the chairs, Hnncreft was forced te sit.
Xancy was probably in some room
above, numb with cold nnd terror.
Whu'rver lie did. he must ulwnys keep
this fact ln mind, Nnnfyj
"De you knew who 1 umV" Stewart
demanded, 'roughly . .
"Yeu are Charles Jcrcminh Kennedy
,my father's friend."
"Your father's trusting friend 1"
Demoniacal laughter followed this, and
it broke qtieerly. "Ah. my (Sed! Anil
In another minute I should have had
my hands upon his threat!"
"In u little while you will thank

"De you intend te kill me in his
slend. sir? 1 should like te knew."
"I Imvcn't decided," said Kennedy
moo-Illy. "It remains te be seen."
"I have never harmed you."
"AVhat has that te de with it? Yeu
are his son." Then Kennedy burst into
the Irenic strain again. "The Ureal
Adventure ('niimnnv mine absurd bus
iness te start our wonder. And u little
inter you put two and two together nnd
connected me with the man who entered
your father s office. Kvervlhinit I Plan

te. Clever, but net clever cneuch.
"Thnt. is true. sir. I'm net much
mere- than a hey. Still, I found out
who von were."
"Charles Jeremiah Kennedy, it has
been many a year since 1 heard that
name spoken." Kennedy turns, abrupt
gestures. He did net want te hurt the
hey; nnd yet the father's mouth
and eyes of him stimulated the will te
murder, se. te keep moving, te tin; out
the inclination. Once he paused gloomily
before his prisoner. "Are you afraid
of me?"
"Yes. Hut only ns n normally sane
man bus the right te fear another who

"I wonder." mused Kennedy. "Why
net? What has there net heen te drive
mc insane? I have killed a matt, I have
spent fourteen, years In prison, I hnvc
lest all that earth held dear my wife,
my child. Fourteen years with iron bars
between me and sunshine because of
your father s pertldy. I t. 'listed him lib lib
lelutely, and he beggared me. My child!
She may be dead. sh may be hungry,
she mny he a drub thing nf the streets.
Day after day I have sought her in the
crowds. Oh, I would knew her instnntly.
She would have her mother's smile."

Tears welled into Hnncreft s eyes
nnd began te roll down his cheeks.
What an Odyssey of sustained mis

Innocent bystander. He must let this
unhappy man. relieve his soul of nil
its accumulated bitterness; tell his
story; then he should have the truth.
Hut what n weak tittle staff it seemed
for these colossal miseries te lean en !
Tins truth would net bring bnck the
wife and child, return the fourteen
years wasted in a dungcen-kecp: it
might net bring back even the mail's
faith in mankind.
Kennedy went en. He did net address
Hancreft particularly. "What have I
done that (Sed should pile thec miseries
upon my head? I have never harmed
any human being. I had played square.
And here I stand, guilty nf an inno
cent man's death, guilty of the deatli
of your father, if net by deed, by intent.
Frem a kindly man, something of a
dreamer, I became a piece of machinery,,
dedicated te destruction ! Hooked
me, when I was thousands of miles
away and could net defend myself ! Fer
fourteen years J hail nothing te de but
think and plan, think and plan. Hut
your father had hidden ie cleverly that
I found him only that tiny."
Hancreft's chin sank te his chest. In
nocent bystanders! This unhappy
wretch, Silas Hancreft mid Silast Han Han
ceoft's son, all three innocent by
standers, roeked and pulverized by
chance-medley! Hancreft thought of his
father's agony, never during te threw
his arm across his son's shoulder for four
the 'emotion might snip the slender
thread by which his life hung.
"I knew nothing of limince," con
tinued Kennedy, resuming his pacing.
"That was your father's game. Se J
turned everything I had into cash
borrowed en cail leans duiuiieil it into
Ills hands, and sailed for Seuth America,
I sailed away!" Kennedy laughed again.
"I sailed away! When I returned, two
months later, my wife was dead and
buried, my child gene, the savings of
years wiped out. Why, I didn't even
knew your father's brokers! I
was that trustful! I immediately wrote
te a friend of mine in t.nl'iiz and turned
ever the mine te him in trust. Te buy
that mine had taken up most of my
ready cash; and I would need capital
te work It. I then destroyed all my
luggage and papers anj tiling that
would indentlfy me us Kennedy and
started out te kill your father. Hut
first, I wanted one niore leek nt the
old home where I had known such hap
piness. There wns a crowd about the
deer'. An auctioneer was chanting in
side. The world became red. I pushed
people aside. A policeman interfered.
1 knocked him into the nreaway. He
died almost instantly from concussion.
An hour later I was in the Tombs
for manslaughter, under the name of
Stewitlt, the II ret that came into my
head. Manslaughter!" Kennedy covered
his eyes for a moment,. "I suppose
(Sed wanted te see hew much n human
being could stand and selected me te
experiment en. Se 1 became Stewart.'I
was mugged mid thumb-printed and
numbered, and slewed away in a collin cellin
like cell of gray stone. I seen became
a trusty, dun te my education, and in
a little while they fell te catling me
professor, I hnd killed a policeman ; se
the general run of convicts looked upon
me with venerathm.'
The gas Jet began te whlstle mourn
fully, nnd Kennedy modified it.
"Of course the first thlpg I naught,

He was in neither telephone nor city
directory naturally. "Hut In the end I
found him a hoeend tee late Imagine
me, entering that village home, of yours
