10 THE ENEMY —BY— I GEORGE RANDOLPH CHESTER & LILLIAN CHESTER | Authors of "THE BALL OF FIRE," etc. Copyright, 1915, Newspaper Rights, Hearst International Library. International Feature Service, j Continued Blankness; total blankness; there is a confused jumble of motion, of changing from place to place, of tak ing a drink. Occasionally there is the voice of Tommy, steady, solid, un wavering. Tommy is singing the ditty to the Demon Hum. He is giv ing a lecture on astronomy. There is a fight somewhere. Was Billy in the light, or only a witness? He is not sure. It was such a long, long time ago! Scenes shift strangely, too; now country, now village, now city; now on foot, now in the machine, now on Fifth Avenue, now in the club; but always with that one fixed idea. Fin ish the spree, eh! Now Billy is alone, except for the Demon Rum. Billy has had to sneak away from Tommy, be cause some instinct tells him that Tommy lacks the pertinacity to take this little excursion. Billy will go back to the club and find Tommy ■ when he Is through his errand. Hello, Billy is here! Where is here? 1 His eyes are puffed nearly shut, and j they hurt when he opens them to look around. His eyes are tired, j Billy himself is tired. His own voice ' sounds strange and far-off to him, and i shrill, as he asks his sleepy chauffeur i a question. Oh, yes, they're out in j the suburbs, ami" the lamps gleam 1 again in ,the dusk, and this is a famil-! iar house. Benning's. Why did 1 Billy come here? Oh yes, he was to show himself to Geraldino, now that' he has finished his spree! He does. He exhibits his finished [ spree to her just one brief instant j before the door slams; and out of the j puffed and inflamed countenance of j poor Billy the Demon Rum leers his j red leer and snarls his red snarl! CHAPTER V. The Disappearance of Bow-Wow Thin bands as of steel were about the throat of Martin Burke, and, | strong man though he was, he could 1 not turn, nor break the grip of those J maniacal fingers! With the cunning} of frenzy, the white-haired madman ] had drawn back Burke's head so that j he could only wave his arms helpless- 1 ly, while above him bent that dis-1 torted face with the glaring red eyes! j Burke's own eyes were distended, his ' breath was stopped, and his face was purpling, when the door was thrown j open and Nora Maloney, as big and as j broad and as strong as the grand- 1 father who had led the Fenians, came i dashing in, with a huge hand ready for the fray. In one more minute, Bow-Wow, his fever of strength all spent, was lying flat on the floor, and the Widow Maloney, her thick ankles sticking straight before her, was sit ting on him, the ruddy glow of the fire and the ruddy light of the dawn blending with the ruddy flush of her face. "Ywir life belongs to me, Martin Burke," she puffed, twisting her fallen hair into a scraggly knot. "I think | I saved it for you." "You did that," assented Martin | grudgingly, for he had his suspicions! of the Widow Maloney's intentions re- j garding him. "I take it as a gift, but j I can never repay you; so it would j be no use to try." He was feeling of j his throat. "Well, there's always ways," consid- I ered janitress Nora, and cast up at the | stalwart fellow a glance and a smile of great friendliness. "Where's my needle?" growled Burke, wisely changing the subject and searching the floor. He found the hypodermic as if nothing had happened, he prepared j his solution, and filled his needle, and j gave Bow-Wow the injection. "A case of the jerries," guessed Mrs. Maloney, as Martin gallantly | helped her to her feet. "It's many's I the time I handled Andy Maloney when he had the jerries. The best way I found was to clout him behind the ear with a stick of stove wood." "It's a favorite domestic method," drily commented Burke. "I don't think this is a regular case of the tremens just yet," he went on, study in the now quiet Bow-Wow. The man ! had not succumbed to tho drug, but he was weak from over-exertion. | "He'll have the sure-enough jim-jams I in about two days; but if I have him ] sober enough, in between, to answer I questions for the boss. I'll be very' well satisfied." He picked up Bow- i Wow and carried him to the bed, as! if the man were a child. "Shall I sit with you ?" offered I Nora, out of the goodness of her heart. "You shall not," refused Burke promptly. It was in his nature to blarney Mrs. Maloney, but it was in his wisdom not to. So, all by himself, he remained at Bow-Wow's bedside until the stupor of the drug had set' in; then he lay down on the couch ' in the lounging-room for a nap. The I man was safe for a few hours. No! Billy as yet. No Billy when Burke awoke, with' the bright sun streaming in at the j windows of the lounging-room, and ' with Nora Maloney shaking him by j the shoulders. "The saints be thanked!" said Nora, j as he opened his eyes. "I thought for ! a while that you'd shot the drug into the wrong man, for I've been ringing your bell and pounding on your door this past hour." "That's kind of you, Mrs. Maloney " returned Burke. Rubbing his eyes, i and springing up, he went to the door! of Billy's room. Empty! Witli a frown of worry, he visited Bow-Wow. The tramp was lying wide i awake, but there was no delirium in his eyes. He was too weak, how ever, to rise. "The top of fie morning to you. Pop, ' greeted Kurke cheerfully "How's your appetite?" "Water!" tnoured Mow-Wow. "Never mind, old Spoil, we'll have you out and well chirked up in less than no time. If I've time to-dav 1 II give you a hair cut, and we'll trim your chinchillas." He bustled out to the pantry, and ! Into the man's glass of water ho pour- ! cd something from his stock of rough medicines. He hesitated before he I prepared this dose. It would i strengthen and clear the patient for I a day. but the relapse would be serl- I ous. ■ Anyway," decided Burke, as a sop to his own conscience, "the man ' couldn't escape tho Jerries sooner or later, and he's In good hands." ' Sh ?] ! , r Btay and help y°u?" offered Mrs. Maloney, looking the cherry comforter which she was willing to "You shall not," refused Burke em phatically, and, taking no offense Nora left him alone. There Is always time until eternity comes to an end That was 11 busy day for Burke' but he was glad that It was. It kept him from worry. There were a dozen telephone calls for Billy; and Joe WEDNESDAY EVENING, Mullen, the superintendent of tho Pannard Building, quit the day angry. He had called off his men. There was nothing he could do until he knew what to do; and where, in the name of all the hottest places Joe could mention, was Billy! Why didn't he tend to business! He wasn't at his office, he wasn't at his club, he wasn't at his home! Burke nearly fought Joe Mullen. If he could have reached through the telephone he would have done so. It would have been a great relief to him. Bow-Wow, in a worried day like this, was a godsend. Artificially strengthened and sobered by Burke's guileful aid, he submitted to all the strenuous things which were done to him, even to a hair-cutting and a beard-trimming and a manicuring. At five o'clock. Burke, planning Billy's possible dinner, came in and looked at Bow-Wow critically; then a sudden humorous idea seized him, and he went to his own wardrobe, where hung some of Billy's and Tommy Tinkle's discarded clothing. "Back your self into these, Pop," i he directed, and went away laughing. | Half an hour later, he returned i with a carefully measured drink. It j was time Bow-Wow had a little ; whisky, if he was to be kept in | strength and sanity for Billy. 1 "Here's your liquor, Pop,"' he sang > cheerily, as he came through the hall. | At the door he stopped, stricken dumb, and he almost dropped the ! glass! Before him was a tall, spare, I straight, elderly gentleman, with I waving white hair and a neatly crop ( ped silver Vandyke. He was in even ' ing clothes, and his white bow tie was I quite properly made. He stood by j the window, looking calmly out at the lamps as they sprang, in the dusk, into huge tinted pearls. He was | smoking one of Billy's cigarets. | "I thought you might like a little ■ drink. Mr. Doe, "stammered the man j who had wrought the miracle in I Bow-Wow. "Thank you, Burke." Tho (Voice was low and still a trifle husky, i ij Ut a roodulation which i Bow-Wow had lost. He took the glass W is< 1? 1 the temporary firmness of i which gave Burke's conscience an- I other jab, and he looked into the I depths of the oily liquid thoughtfully 1 moment. "I suppose I need , this, he considered slowly, as if he ] were debating whether to cast it !
