"I thought I saw him once be fore; but this time I am certain!" C.rlswold sprang from his chair, and niouient later was letting himself out aoljelessly through the hall door. There was nothing stirring on the aorch. He was still groping among the bushes, and .Miss Farnham had tome to the front door, when the doc tor's buggy appeared under the street lights and was halted at the home hitching post. "Hello, Mr. Criswold; Is that you?" ailed the cheery one, when he saw bareheaded man beating the covers to his front yard. Criswold met his host at the gate wad walked up the path with him. "Miss Charlotte thought she saw voraeone at one of the front windows," ke explained; and a moment after ward the daughter was telling It for kerself. "1 saw him twice," she Insisted; "once while we were at dinner, and again just now. The firs time I thought I might be mistaken, but this time" Grlswold was laughing silently and Inwardly deriding his gifts when, un vr cover of the doctor's return, he vade decent acknowledgments for Vonefiu bestowed and took his de parture.

How much this might have been odlfled if he had known that the man whose face Miss Farnham had seen at Urn window was silently tracking him through the tree-shadowed streets is b matter for conjecture. Also, it is HORSE ROUTED BY PHEASANT ' Hen Almost Blinds Animal While Protecting Brood Which Wat In No Danger.

At first their talk was entirely of the window apparition, the daughter Insisting upon Us reality, and the fa ther trying to push it over Into the limbo of things imagined. Driven finally to give all the reasons for her belief In the realities, Charlotte related the incident of the afternoon. By this time the good Doctor liertle had become the Indignant Doctor lier tle. "We can't have that at all!" he said incisively. "You did your vlule duty in that bank matter; and it was a good deal more thau most young wom en would have done. I'm not going to have you persecuted and harassed not one minute! Where la this fel low slopping?" The daughter shook her bead. "I don't know. He gave me his card, but It has the New Orleans address only." "Give It to me aud I'll look him up tomorrow." The card changed bands, and for a few minutes neither of them spoke. Then the daughter began again. "I've had another shock this eve ning, too." she said, speaking this time In low tones and with eyes downcast. "This Mr. Criswold did I understand you t j say. that he had lost all of his money?" "Yes; practically all of It." said the father, without losing his hold upon what a certain great London physician was saying through the columns of the English medical Journal. lint afterward, long after Charlotte had gone up to her room, he remem bered, with a curious little start of half-awakened puzzlement, that some one, no longer ago than yesterday, had told him that young Criswold was rich or It not rich, at least "well filed." CHAPTER XIX. Pitfalls. Within a week from the day when Raytner, angrily jubilant, had rescued his imperiled stock. It was pretlv gen- 1 erully known that Kenneth Criswold, i i )i'iltin it mi q n hail ifitmrt tVlA . ... ,. , . ' , . --..

Among these, he I In the outworking of his plot; and he ; welcomed It as a sign of growth that i the story In Us new form was acqulr ! lng voritiimilituile and becoming grate ; fully, anil at times, he persuaded lilm j self, quite vividly, human. ! When he got well into the swing of I it atiil was turning out a chapter every ! three or four days, he fell easily into I the h j hit of slipping the last install nieiu into his pocket when he went to j Mereside. Margery Grietsoti was add ing generously to his immense obllga tinn to her; hoping only to find a friendly listener, ho found a helpful j collaborator. More than once, when ! his own Imagination was at fault, she I was able to open new vistas In the humanities for him, apparently draw ing upon a reserve of intuitive con clusions con. pared with which his own hard-bought store of experimental knowledge was almost puerile. "I wish you would tell me the secret of your marvelous cleverness," he ex claimed, on one of the June afternoons when he had been reading to her In the cool half-shadows of the Mereside library. "You are only a child In years; how can you know with such miraculous certainty what other people would think and do under con ditions about which you can't possibly know anything experimentally? It's ! beyond me!" ' There are many things beyond you yet, dear boy; many, many things," was leer laughing rejoinder; from which it will be Inferred that the epi sode in the Farmers' aud Merchants' burglar-proof had become an episode 1 forgotten or at least forgiven. "You know men a little; but when it comes to the women . . . well, If I didn't keep continually nagging at you, your two terolnes with neither of whom you are really In love would degen erate into rag dolls. They would, ac tually." "That's true; I can see It clearly enough when you point It out," he ad mitted, putting his cragsman pride the borough reservoir an enraged hen pheasant, protecting her brood of six youngsters, flew from the bushes along the mountain road and viciously attacked his horse. She alighted on the animal's head, beating vigorously with her wings. The frightened horse bucked, reared and lunged In its fruitless efforts to dislodge the mad pheasant. Finally the bird pecked at the horse's eyes, blinding It so that the heavily loaded wagon was backed oH the road and down the mountain. Bradford leaped un.lerfoot. as he was always obliged to do in these talks with her. "I should be discouraged If you didn't keep on telling me that the story, as a story, Is good." "It Is good; It Is a big story," she asserted, with kindling enthusiasm. "The plot, so far as you have gone with It, is fine,; and that Is where you leave me away behind. I don't see how you could ever think It out. And the character drawing is fine, too, some of it. Your Fleming Is as far beyond me as your Fidelia Beems to be beyond you," "You don't know Fleming yet. Have you ever met Fidelia?" "Not as you have drawn her no. She Is too unutterably flue. If she had a single shred of humanity about her, I Bhould suspect you of meaning to fall In love with her, farther along to the humiliation aud despair of poor Joau, who, as you say, is a mere daugh ter of men." "But how about Joan?" he fretted. "Is she out of drawing, too?" "Yes; you are distorting her the other way making her too inhumanly worldly and Insincere." Then, with an abruptness that was like a slap In the face: "If you didn't spend so many evenings at Doctor Rertlo's, you would get both Fidelia and Joan In better drawing." He flushed and drew himself up. with stabbed amour propre prompting him to make some stinging retort con trasting the wells of truth with the 4 Instantly the Primitive. Inttlnct of Self-Pretervation Sprang Alert. brackish waters of sheer worldliness. Then he saw how Inadequate It would be; how utterly Impossible it was to meet this charmingly vindictive young person upon any grounds save those of her own choosing. "That is the first really unkind thing I have ever heard you say," was the mild reproach which was all that the reactionary second thought would sanction. "L'nklnd to whom? to you, or to Miss Farnham?" "Ask yourself," he countered weak ly, and she laughed at him. Grlswold did not reply to the laugh. He was gathering up the scattered pages of his manuscript and replacing them in order. When be spoke again it was of a matter entirely Irrelevant. "I had an odd experience the other evening," he said. "I had been dining with the Kaymers and was walking back to Shawnee street. A little news boy named Johnnie Fergus turned up from somewhere at one of the street crossings and tried to sell me a pa per at eleven o'clock at night! I bought one and Joked him about being out so late; and from that on I couldn't get rid of him. He went all the way home with me, talking a blue streak and acting as if he were afraid of something or somebody. I remem bered afterward that he Is the boy who takes care of your boat. Is there any thing wrong with him?" Miss Crierson had left her chair and had gone to stand at one of the win dows. "Nothing that I know t)f," she said "He Is a bright boy too bright for his own good, I'm afraid. But 1 can ex plain a little. Johnnie has taken a violent fancy to you for some reason, and he has fallen Into the boyish habit of weaving all sorts of romances around you. I think he reads too many exciting stories and tries to make you the hero of them. He told me the other day that he was sure somebody was 'spotting' you. Grlswold looked up quickly. Miss Crierson was still facing the window and he was glad that she had not seen his nervous start. " 'Spotting' wie?" he laughed. "W'hero did he get that Idea?" "How should I know? But ho had made himself believe It; he even went so far as to describe the man. Oh, I can assure you Johnnie has an Imagi nation; I've tested It In other ways." "I should think so!" said the man who also had an Imagination, and shortly afterward he took his leave, An hour later the same afternoon, DroIIin, from his post of observation on the Winnebago porch, saw the writing man cross the street and enter a hard ware Bhop. Having nothing better to do, he, too, crossed the street and, In passing, looked Into the open door of Simmons & Klelfurt's. What be saw brought him back at the end of a re flective stroll around the public square. When he entered the shop the clerk was putting a formidable array of weapons back Into their showcase niches. Brolfln lounged up and began to handle the pistols. In time to escape Injury. He said he would not try pheasant gunning from horseback next fall. National Airs for All. The band started up one of Its big strains. "There Is a grand tune 'Die Wacht am Rheln' I always like It," said one. "But," said the other, "that Is not 'Die Wacht am Rheln,' that's 'The Marseillaise." " But It was really "The Star-Spangled Banner" that the band was playing. The lesson Is that all patriotism la founded In an Inspl- "If I knew enough about guns to be able to tell 'em apart, I might buy one," he said, half humorously. And then: "You must 've been having a mighty particular customer to get so many of 'em out." "It was Mr. Grlswold, Mr. Ed Ray mer'a new partner," said the clerk. And he wag pretty particular; wouldn't have anything but these new-fashioned automatics. Said he wanted something that would be quick and sure, and I guess he's got It I sold him two of 'em." Broffln played with the stock long enough to convince the clerk that be was only a counter lounger with no In tention of buying. "Took two of "em, did he? for fear one might make him sick, I reckon," he said, with the half humorous grin still lurking under the drooping mustaches. "Automatic thirty twos, eh? Well, I ain't goln' to try to hold your Mr. Grlscom, did you call him? up none after this. He might git me." Whereupon, having found out what he wanted to know, he lounged out again and went back to the hotel to smoke another of the reflective cigars In the porch chair which had come to be his by right of frequent and long continued occupancy. Criswold had left the Mereside library considerably shaken, not in his convictions, to be sure, but In his con fidence In his own powers of Imagi native analysis. For this cause it re quired a longer after-dinner stay at the Furnham's than he had been allow ing himself, to re-establish the norm of self assurance. Charlotte Farnham was never enthusiastic; that, perhaps, would bo asking too much of on ideal; but what she lacked in warmth was made up In cool sanity, backed by a moral sense that seemed never to wa ver. Unerringly she placed her linger upon the human weaknesses In his book people, and unfalteringly she bade him reform them. For his Fidelia, as he described her, she exhibited a gentle affection, tem pered by a compassionate pity for her weaknesses and waverings; an atti tude, he fatuously told himself, forced upon her because her own standards were so much higher than any he could delineate or conceive. For Joan there was also compassion, but It was mildly contemptuous. If I did not know that you are In capable of doing such a thing, I might wonder If you are not drawing your Joun from life, Mr. Grlswold," she said, a little coldly, on this same evening of rehabilitations. "Since such characters are to be found in real life, I suppose they may have a place In a book. But you must not commit the unpardonable sin of making your readers condone the evil In her for the sake of the good. I'lease forget what I have said about your Fidelia and and your Joan. You are trying to make them human, and that is as it should be." Grlswold could scarcely believe the evidence of his seuses. He told him self fiercely that he would never be lieve, without the convlncement of fact, that the Ideal could step down from Its pedestal. "You are meaning to be kind to me now, at the expense of your convic tions, Miss Charlotte," be protested warmly. "No," she denied gravely. "Listen, and you shall judge. Once, only a short time ago, I was brought face to face with one of these terrible com promises. In a single Instant, and by no fault of my own, the dreadful shears of fate were thrust Into my hands, and conscience what I have been taught to call the Christian conscience told me that with them I must snip the thread of a man's life. And then chance threw us together. A new world was opened to me In those few moments. I had thought that there could be no possible question between simple right and wrong, but almost In his first word the man convinced me that, whatever I might think or the world might say, his conscience had fully and freely ac quitted him. And he proved it; proved It so thut I can never doubt It as long as I live. He made me do what my conscience had been telling me I ought to do just as your Fleming makes Fidelia do." "And he was taken?" he said, and he strove desperately to make the saying completely colorless. "Ho was; but be made his escape again, almost at once. He Is still a free man." Instantly the primitive Instinct of self-preservation, the Instinct of the hunted fugitive, sprang alert In the listener. "How can you be sure of that?" he asked, and In his own ears his voice sounded like the clang of an alarm bell. Again a silence fell, surcharged, this one, with all the old frightful possi bilities. Once more the loathsome fever quickened the pulses of the man at bay, and the curious needlelike prickling of the skin came to signal the return of the homicidal fear-frenzy. The reaction to the normal racked him like the passing of a mortal sickness when his accusing angel said in her most matter-of-fact tone: "I know he Is free; I have it on the best possible authority. The detectives who are searching for him have been here to see me or, at least, one of them has." The hunted one laid hold of the par tial reprieve with a mighty grip and drew himself out of the reactionary whirlpool. m "It Is an outrage! I hope It Is an annoyance past." His companion leaned forward In her chair and cautiously parted the leafy vine screen. "Look across the street under those trees at the water's edge: do you see him?" ration that speaks out In a kindred note. It Is like the w-ord mother It Is nearly the same In all languages. Pa triotism rightly understood Is a combi nation of love, enthusiasm and cour age, and its expression In muslo shows the same grand outburst of the heart "God Save the King" Is another one, They are all part of the same Inborn sentiment that belongs to all nations. We saw a man stand one time when "The Marseillaise" was played. He made no mistake, though he thought It was his own country's air. Grlswold looked and was reasonably sure that he could make out the shadowy figure of a man leaning a ;alnst one of the trees. "That Is my shadow," she said, low e:lng her voice: "Mr. Matthew Brof fln of the Colburne Detective agency, In New Orleans, He has a foolish Idea that I am In communication' with the man he Is searching for, and he was brutal enough to tell me. so. What he expects to accomplish by keeping an absurd watch upon our house and dog ging everybody who cornea and goes, I can't Imagine." "You have told your father?" said Grlswold, anxious to learn how far this new alarm fire had spread. "Certainly; and he has made his pro test. But It doesn't do any good; the man keeps on spying, as you see. But we have wandered a long way from your book. I've been trying to prove to you that I am not lit to criticize It." "No; you mustn't mistake me. I haven't been coming to you for criti cism," waa GrlHwold's rather Incoher ent reply; and when the talk threat ened to lapse Into the commonplaces, he took his leave. Oddly enough, a he thought, when he was unlatching the gate and had shifted one of the newly purchased automatic pistols from his hip pocket to an outside pocket of the lljlht top-coat he was wearing, tho shadowy figure under the lake-shading trees had disappeared. It was only a few minutes itfter the lingering dinner guest had gone when the doctor came out on the porch, bringing his long-stemmed pipe for a bedtime whiff In the open air. "You are losing your beauty Bleep, little girl," he said, dropping Into the chair lately occupied by the guest. "Did you find out anything more tonight?" The daughter did not reply at once, and when she did there was a note of freshly summoned hardihood In her T0lC9. "We wpre both mistaken," she af firmed. "Coincidences are always likely to bo misleading. I am sorry I told you about them. He has certain ly been a present help In time of need to Edward." As before, the good little doctor had recourse to his pipe, and It was not un til his daughter got up to go In that he said gently: "One other word, Char He, girl: are you altogether sure that the wish Isn't father to the thought about Grlswold?" "Don't be absurd, papa!" she said scornfully, passing swiftly behind his chair to reach the door; and with that answer he was obliged to be content. CHAPTER XX. Broken Links. It was on the second day after the plstol-buylng Incident in Simmons & Klelfurt's that Broffln, wishful for soli tude and a chance to think In perspec tive, took to the woods. A letter from the New Orleans df flee had reopened the account of the Bayou State Security robbery. The mall communication was significant but Inconclusive. One Patrick Shee han, a St. Louis cab driver, dying, had made confession to his priest. For a bribe of two hundred dollars he had aided and abetted the escape of a criminal on a day and date correspond ing to the mid-April arrival of the steamer Belle Julie at St. Louis. After ward he had driven the man to an up town hotel (name not given). He could not recall the man's name. But the destination address, "Wabaska, Min nesota," was submitted with the con fession. . Broffln felt himself short-elghted from the very nearness of things.. The single necessity now waa for absolute and unshakable identification. To es tablish this, three witnesses, aud three only, could be culled upon. Of the three, two had failed signally Miss Farnham because she hud her own reasons for blocking the game, and President Galbralth . . . That was an other chapter In the book of failure. Broffln had learned that the president was stopping at the Do Soto Inn, and he had maneuvered to bring Mr. Gal bralth face to face with Grlswold lu the Grlerson bank on tho day after the pistol-buying. To his astonishment and disgust the president had shaken his head Irritably, adding a rebuke, "Na, na, man; your trade makes ye over-suspicious. That's Mr. Grlswold, the writer-man and a friend of the Grlersons. Miss Madge was telling me about him last week. He's no more like the robbor than you are. Haven't I told ye the man was bearded like a tyke?" With two of tho three eye-witnesses refusing to testify, there remained only Johnson, the paying teller of the Bayou State Security. Broffln was considering the advisability of wiring for Johnson when he passed the last of the houses on the lakeside drive and struck into the country road which led by cool and shaded forest wind ings to the resort hotel at the bead of the southern bay. Presently a vehicle overtook and passed him. It was Miss Grlerson's trap, drawn by the big Eng lish trap-horse, with Miss Grlerson her self holding the reins and Raymer lounging comfortably In the spare seat. Half an hour later Broffln had fol lowed the huge hoof-prints of the great English trap-horse to the drive way portal of the De Soto grounds where they were lost on the pebbled carriage approach. Strolling on through the grounds Into the lake fronting lobby of the inn, he went In search of Miss Grlerson. He found her on the broad veranda, alone, and for the moment unoccupied. How to make the attack so direct and so over whelming that It could not be with stood was the only remaining ques tion; and Broflin had answered It to his own satisfaction, and was advanc ing through aa open French window Skeleton Twenty Centuries Old. An Interesting discovery was made oa the farm of Kelr, Helhelvle, Scot land. In the course of cultivation, iu a field near by a clump of trees known as the Halrcalrn, an ancient gravo was discovered containing a perfect human skeleton and three urns. One of the urns was practically whole, but the other two were broken. The grave, which was about four feet long by two and one-fourth In width and depth, was composed of stout un dressed slab stones. The find wu ax- directly behind Miss Grlerson "ha; to put the anBwer into effect, when the opportunity was snatched away. Ray mer, his business apparently conclud ed, came down the veranda and took the chair next to MIbs Grlerson's. Broffln dropped back Into the writ-Ing-roora alcove for which the open French window was the outlet and sat down to bide his time. "It's a shame to make you watt this way, Miss Madge. McMurtry said he had an appointment with Mr. Gal bralth for three o'clock, and lie bad to go to keep It. But he ought to be down again by this time. Don't wait for me If you want to go back to town. I can got a lift from somebody." "That would be nice, wouldn't It?" was the good-natured retort. "To make you tie up your own horse In town and then leave you stranded away out here three miles from nowhere! I think I see myself doing such a thlngl Besides, I haven't a thing to do but wait." Broflin shifted the extinct cigar he was chewing from one corner of his mouth to the other and pulled his soft hat lower over his eyes. He, too, could wait. There was a llttlo stir on the veranda; a rustling of silk petticoats and the click of small heels on the hurdwood floor. Broffln could not for bear the peering peep around tho shel tering window druperles. Miss Grler son hud left her seat and was pacing a slow march up and down. That she had not seen him became a fact sultl clontly well-assured when she sat down again and began to speak to Criswold. "How Is the new partnership going, by this time?" she asked, after the manner of one who rewinnows the chafT of the commonplaces In the hope of finding grain enough for the Immedi ate need. "So far as Grlswold Is concerned, you wouldn't notice that there is a partnership," laughed the Iron founder. "I can't make lilm galvanize an atom of Interest In his Investment. All I can get out of him Is, 'Don't bother me; I'm busy.'" "Mr. Grlswold Is In a class by him self, don't you think?" was the ques tioning comment. "He Is all kinds of a good fellow; that's all I know, and all I ask to know," answered Raymer loyally. "I believe that now," said his com panion, with the faintest possible em phasis upon the time-word. Broffln marked the emphasis and the pause that preceded It, and leaned forward to miss no word. "Meaning that thero was a time when you didn't bulleve It?" Raymer asked. "Meaning that there was a time when he had me scared half to death," confessed the one who seemed always to say the confidential thing as if It were the moBt trivial. "Do you remem ber one day In the library, when you found me looking over the file of the newspapers for the Btory of tha rob bery of the Bayou State Security bank in New Orleans?" Raymer remembered It very well, and admitted it. "Yes; I remember it all very clearly. Also I recollect bow the second news paper notice told how the robber es caped from the 'officers at St. Louis. But you haven't told me how you were scared," Raymer suggested. mm "There Wasn't the Llttlett Thing." "I'm coming to that. This escape we read about happened on a certain day In April. It was the very day on which poppa met me on my way back from Florida, and we took the eleven thirty train north that night. You haven't forgotten that Mr. Grlswold was a passenger on that same train?" "But, goodness gracious. Miss Mar gery! any number of people were pas sengers on tbat train. You surely wouldn't " "Hush!" she said, and through the lace window hangings Broflin saw her lift a warning finger. "What I am telling you, Mr. Raymer, Is In the strictest confidence; we mustn't let a breath of it get out. But that wasn't all. Mr. Grlswold was dreadfuly sick and, of course, he couldn't tell us' any thing about himself. But while he waa delirious he was always muttering something about money, money; mon ey that he had lost and couldn't And, or money that he bad found and couldn't lose. Then when we thought he couldn't positlbly get well, Doctor Ber tie aud I ransacked his suitcases for cards or letters or something that would tell us who he was and whore he came from.
