between, lie was transcendentally
happy, and he had te express aloud this
happiness te keep his body, from flying
up through the reef et the tail and
vanishing into the ether. lie said se.
But underneath 'his bubbling nonsense
was a serious purpose, Fer a long
time te come Kennedy would breed
ever the death of Silas Bancroft, lie
would be eternally seeing Silas reach
out lewara him and die. nimseir a
gassive murderer. He had shocked
lias Bancroft te death; but any one
of a thousand surprises would have
shocked Bliss Bancroft te death. The
point was te make Kennedy accept this
fact. Kennedy had brooded himself
into one madness; he might easily breed
himself into another suicidal. Be
sides, he would new be drawing com
parisons Bancroft's loyalty as against
bis own, and finding his a flabby thing
indeed. Se young Bancroft was deter
mined te keep by the man. If he saw
that the son rejected the Idea that
murder had been done, eventually Ken
nedy might be made te de se. j
Bancroft analyzed his thoughts care
fully and found that there was no emo
tion ether than profound pity for the
man' his father had se loved. The hell
through which the man bad passed!
A weak man might have whimpered and
gene en; but a strong man, vital In
brain and body ! Something had
twisted in Kennedy's brain,' under tba
terrific Impact of his mlfertunes, and
only tonight had this kink straightened
out. The letter had said that there
were high and worthy qualities te love,
in this man; and these might be un
covered and their luster renewed by
the process of time. Se then',' te keep

pany! . "will you be wanting these -books,
sir?" he asked.
"Ne. They are yours. They mean
a geed deal mere te you new than they
de te me. But what became of your
father's; thlnge?"
"Don't you remember? He said In
the letter that he had te sell everything
te make a new start."
"A new start."
There was a lull. Bancroft searched
for Nancy's hand and found it. Then
be fell te describing the adventure of
the ambassador's suite, of his majestic
sensations, of renting his first dress
suit, of discovering Nanev'a who te-
graph, all Interpolated by shrewd com
mentarlea.
Innocent Bystanders
Strange. te. state, Kennedy; found, this
chatter amusing. The boy bad the gift
ei uescriDing things as they were, or
tearing oil the motley and revealing the
bones but without the bitterness of
the matured philosopher. Kennedy felt
himself nmused; and ftem this basis n
thought began te work eutwnrd. If
the boy could amuse him in this black
hour, It might be that contact with the
youngster would stir Inte life again all
these attributes se long atrophied for
want of usage. Of course, this Incon
sequent chatter was uttered purposely
te divert a-breeding mind; but, the point
was, the ruse succeeded. Kennedy
found himself amused.
"Jerry," said Nancy, "what's Jere
miah mean?"
"Hanged If I knew."
"It means the Lord's exalted In
his case," said Kennedy. "What It
means in my case, only Ged knows."
, "Nancy, what am I going te de? My
father's letter which Is really the true
will orders that I pay ever te Mr.
Kennedy half of what I have, and be
refuses it." '
"And always will. I am no longer
troubled by an obsessien: I am troubled
only by regret. When I came out of
prison It waa tee late te pick up the
truth; and such was the power of my
obsession I shouldn't have recegnised
the truth had I seen it. A little
patience in the beginning, and Silas
and I might have worked together te
retrieve our fortunes. But no. Battle,
murder and sudden deatlr! But always
remember, I went te prison for an act
of my own. We shall net relate it te
the original catastrophe."
"Sir, they are inseparable. Cm beard
the ship, before you put In, you were
tremendously happy. Yeu were, ac
cording te the market reports, a rich
man; the years of bondage were ever.
Frem the peak of happiness te the bot
tom of despair, all In an hour, or two,
Ik mere than any human brain can
stand. Something become twisted in
your peer head and only this night
readjusted Itself."
"But what confuses me Is your at
titude. Yeu should bold me In horror."
"But there Is always my father'a
letter, sir; bis will that I should find
you and help you if I could. That waa
enough for me. Besides, you were com
ing back en your own. Your original
notion was te de away with me ; in the
end you demanded only what you con
sidered legally yours. The past was
coming back. Yeu began, perhaps sub
consciously, te me my father-in me,
when you were eung. After all ran
your thought I was guilty of nothing.
Be you would take what you considered
yours, and vnntmi. une ureal Ad

that I am greatly Indebted te you?
Yeu have indirectly given me mere than
I ever dreamed of having. If you. had
net lured me out of it I might still be
In that village; whereas I cams te the
great city and found adventure and
love."
Nancy, with pnsstonate tenderness,
pressed bis band. It came te her that
1.I10 would always be two things in this
boy's life his mother and his sweet
heart. "Innocent bystanders," mused Ken
nedy, it
"All of us, every human being that
Uvea, passively or actively. Innocent by
standers, paying the price et another
men's roguery, naif the time a man we
never heard of."
"Dd with me aa you will," said
Kennedy, In cemplete surrender. "The
Shadow was right."
"The Shadow?"
"Fer several daya you ware under
constant surveillance. He warned me
that I waa underestimating you. And
I told him net te think, thinking being
my part, He was right. What a wild
night that was I I steed outside your
window, watching you, weiihlns you."
"And I wulked Ave. miles through
that storm," broke in Nancy; "through
the mud and the rain, te Jerrra
