Douglas Wade seconded h..s s.s
ler's efforts to put the Pole at ease.
"Good evening, Talak!" he said.
"You remember you told me you
wanted to talk to .Miss Wade, and 1
told you she was ill'.' Well, you see
she is able to be out again now."
"Dat's good," the man mumbled.
There was an awkward pause
while the new arrival shuttled his
teet on the gravel and twisted h:s
battered cap about in his hands.
"You wanted to talk to me about
something?" Elizabeth queried.
"Why not sit down there on the
step? Then we can chut more com
fortably."
He glanced at her wondcringly.
yet with a look of gratitude tnat
she saw even in the dim light.
With a nod, Douglas turned and
went into the house, and as the
sound of his footsteps died away the
Pole spoke abruptly.
"Mr. ISutier, he give me money.
Where is he?"
Elizabeth replied promptly, press
ing her hands together.
"In jail.'
The man stared convulsively.
"Do oder gentleman said lie's ar
rested and couldn't come here. He
didn't tell me he's in jail."
"That is where they put him for
killing Mr. Chapin," the girl said
bluntly.
"Killing Mr. Chapin," the Pftle
gasped.
" fes," Elizabeth went on. "you
and 1 know. Talak, that Mr. Duller
did not* kill Mr. Chapin. Put he w.ll
be punished for it."
There was a tense silence, then
the even voice continued. "Mr. But
ler will be killed unless the man
who shot Amos Chapin confesses."
"1 shot Amos Chapin!"
The words were sudden and un
expected, and the listener scarcely
suppressed an exclamation of con
sternation. There was a subdued
rustle at the window, then silence.
"How did you do It, Talak?"
The question was uttered so cas
ually that the listening physician

"But you did not have the gun .

"Suppose," the girl ventured hope
fully, "that you toll my brother to

could protest, "will you come out

All sense of personal danger
seemed to .have left the Hole. liliz
abeth had been right when she said
he was capable of but one idea at a
! time. As Douglas appeared in the
doorway, the self-confessed mur
l derer spoke doggedly.
"1 kdled old Chapin," he repeated.
"Tell my brother all about it,
Talak," Elizabeth urged.
"What will he do to me?" Talak
' asked suspiciously.
Douglas stepped close to him and
laid his hand on the poor misshapen

As the man stumbled down the

Elizabeth left alone, stood as it
carved out of stone. When her
brother came hurrying back her lips
refused to form the question she
tried to utter.
"What—what?" she stammered.
"Dear, try to keep calm," her
brother murmured. "Poor Taluk
will not have to suffer any more.
He has paid the penalty for his
deed. He kept his promise. He got
the gun from its hiding place and
then shot himself through the
