Mr. Sidney's :rime, I soon saw, whatever manner 3r kind of crime. It luid lieou, was one )f uneseiipable consequence. ."A man named Drnvada," said Mor gan, after we had looked nt ouch otli r In Interrogative hostility for nn In itant, "has come to our agency with i very strange title. From what I learn of the things lie and IiIh disrepu table attorney have done, I can see Unit they are heading directly Into the penitentiary. I understand that the Invvyer Is dead and Hint till their iclienics are closed. Drnvada lias :oine to our agency, and I have come llrectly to you. I want you to under itanil our methods of doing business. They nre honest. The paper Dravada carries about hlin says that crime has been committed. Are you fumlllar vlth that paper?" "I have seen what n hlnckmnlllng lawyer snld was a copy of n sheet In the possession of Drnvndn." "I nm not much of n literary man," snld Morgan, taking from n black leather case n manuscript which lip handed to me. "but I've rend 'The Moonstone,' nnd HiIh looks to mo like I couple of chapters copied out of It. Probably you are familiar with 'The Moonstone. " "I bnvo rend It severnl times." "Then what do you make of that manuscript?" I looked nt several of the pages. The manuscript was a copy of part of 'The Moonstone." "I am right, then," said Morgan. "Moonshine' It had better be called. That's the manuscript the muld stole Hit of your man Jed's room nnd that Druvatlu took after the lawyer had been killed. Here's my , reasoning maybe you will be Interested: This matt Jed und this fellow Drnvndn vorked for Mr, Sidney In Montevideo. Dravada Is a thief; Jed Isn't much tetter. Dravndu got one sheet of n manuscript that bud something to do with a concealed crime. Jed got the test of the mnnuscrlpt, so Drnvada suys. Dravada has been trying to ainkc Jed go G0-f0. Ho bns been try. Ing to get the rest of the manuscript. He'll murder Jed yet. "Now hero's the way I look nt It : A man like Jed does not go to the trou ble of copying n couplo of chapters pf The Moonshine' nnd planting the copy In bis room Just to devil a des perate fellow like Druvatlu. He does I Suppose You're Something to Miss Sidney, Too." it for a purpose. That proves ho 1ms the real munuscrlpt. That proves there Is n concealed crime. Our agen cy In Interested In tliiillng out what Hint crime was. As an agent of the law I am Interested In this case. Are rou? Is this family Interested?" "I am not, and the family Is not." "I'll take your word for It, but I'll tee Mr. Sidney." "It Is qultu Impossible, lie never ices callers. I urn bis doctor. I ihould foibld it." "Then I'll seo Mrs. Sidney." "That ulso Is Impossible. I am her representative." "Well, I'll tnlk to Miss Sidney." That also Is out of tho question." "1 suppose you're something to Miss Sidney, too." "I am her llnnce." "You nre it little bit of everything irotind here. Well, how about seeing this man Jed?" "That cuiiMie nrranged," I Mild, and I rung for Jed. When be came In, I said: ".led, this Is Mr. Morgan, of tho Metropolitan Detectlvo agency. He ' ants to tnlk to you." 'Yes, Mr." said Jed, nod I went out f l loom, tr ar &J mM B Lliil m .. . i , " . - fc "" Copyright byueorge HiJoranCo In Miout twenty minutes Jed came to me again. "Mr. Morgan wishes to speak to you once more," he said. "Well?" I snld, looking nt him In quiringly. "A downright, direct nntl positive sort of a person," he said, smiling, "but although keen, not u real Intel ligence. He Is waiting for you, sir." CHAPTER XII. Mr. Morgan was pacing forth nnd back In the olllce much enraged. "Look here," he snld. "This does not get us anywhere. My time n val uable. I urn wasting n lot of It. I'll tell you now I've got enough Informa tion to know this Is the sort of cne we like, n touglt case. I haven't bent fooled n bit. You may not be Interest ed. Maybe no one here is Interested but I'm Interested. Do you get Hint, Mr. Doctor, Mr. ItoprescntiiHvo, Mr. Fiance? I'm Interested. This cuse Is going to be gone Into. There's n crime concealed ramewliurv which will do our ngency good to discover. We sha'n't do It for money. We slinll do It for publicity. The advertising will bo worth thousands of dollars to us. Do you understand me?" "I know you can make life very mis erable for us for a couple of days. You will have to use your own Judg ment." "I can pnek tbnt lawn out there with reporters nnd photographers from the city. They'll see nnd tulk to Mr. Sid ney. Take my word for that. They'll seo and talk to Mrs. Sidney und to Miss Sidney. I can bring that down to you hy midnight." "The house has some protections," T said. "You might suggest tbnt to the newspaper people for their own good." "Tho shyster nnd tbnt common thief Ann Forth got in, didn't they?" "I don't know Ann Forth." j "No, but you know Agnes Mitchell. Well, you know Ann Forth, man.

This story Just us It stands copy of sheet from uianu Bcrlpt Spaniard running off with Jed theft of manuscript death of shyster Ann Forth bnck In house. bidden crime millionaire recluse beautiful daughter bnunted house It's copy for every paper In the coun try." I knew It and was appalled by the certain prospects. "It would be n very cruel nnd use less thing to do," I snld, "but us I told you, you must use your own Judg ment. We are not Interested In this child's nursery story you are follow ing, und I do not Intend to have peo ple) who nre not well disturbed by the questioning of n detective." J knew how to deal safely with Morgan, but the method was out of the question. I should Indeed have been a simpleton If I had not known. All I bad to ask was "How much?" We were wholly resolved against paying blnckmnll, knowing that It was only n gradual descent to ruin. It wns better to go In one direct plunge If It wero fated. Morgan looked nt me steadily for n few moments ns If giving Nme n chance to listen to tho voice of reason. Ills method bad been perfect. He wns be yond n legal suspicion, nntl I knew ho was dangerous. "Well, young man," ho snld at last, "wo nre both wns-tlng time nt least I am. Hut It's only fair to you to tell you that this Is not the end of tin? case. It's the kind of u ease wo like, something tough nnd dllllcult. Wo mny not make nny money out of It, but when we nre ready, we at lenst shall bo paid In publicity. You needn't be nfrnld of the reporters und photographers Just now. It's too good n case to waste Hint way. There's al ways that, no mutter what we turn up. "This case Is Just good enough to spend some money on. It's Just good enough to send a couplo of men down to Montevideo. I'll tell you In ndvnnco that Is what we're going to do. "We'll go Into the life of Mr. Sidney with n flno-tooth comb, nnd we'll do It well. Wo are accustomed to doing such things well. And we'll do this well. We'll get something hero or In South America. We'll follow that something until wo know why Jed copied two chapters of 'The Moon stone' nnd hid them In n box built In tho springs of bis bed. "Then we'll come bnck hero and nsk for a little more co-oporntinn In serv ing the purposes of tho law, and If we don't get some help, the reporters nnd photographers will bo swarming on the lawn. That's nil, Mr. Doctor." I know nt first glance that Morgan's face was malevolent. Now I saw It extraordinarily so. "I'll have Jed show you tho door," I said. "Anil tell hint we do not know whether wo toko Dravada to Snath America or not. It will iimko him happy-" Jed wns scrupulously tho servnnt ns wo dismissed Mr. Morgan. That wu8 tho fashion lu which In evitability entered the house. w were no longer dodging chance. Mor gun surely nnd certainly represented fate. It bnd become only a matter of time when In one fashion or another the security of this home, so carefully studied, would be Invnded successful ly. That was apparent. It might be that Morgan would be able to expose us to nothing more thnu the publicity he mentioned. Hut Hint was sulllcieut; It would be destructive.. I had telephoned MeCulic. telling him of Morgan's part In the new turn of events, nnd he later Informed -me that two of the Morgan agency op eratives had sailed for Soiiih Aineiieu, taking Dravaila Willi them. The hunt had begun but a long way off. The hunters knew ns much of the quarry as 1 did, nnd I had no wa.v of knowing whether It was likely Hint they could find u trail hack to Hart ley house. It was impossible not to feel uneasy. Dravada had been to me, 'whatever be had been to .led, merely mi Incident grotesque and ex travagant, ii preposterous dush of col or In odd conditions. The lawyer luid been resourceful and cunning enough, but his notions had to be tbosn of a slinking feral animal, lie was not to be greatly feared, but Morgan was. He had the machinery for the work, Ills cupidity was aroused. Every ras cal who suielled the myster.v of Hurt ley house became eager m lollow the scent Into the strong box of the house. I thought I wus tint assuming eiiqugh responsibility. I asked Mrs. Sidney again If It would bo of service to give me the secret of the house. 1 told her I wns fur from certain that my rella- , And, by George! She Danced Up and Kissed Her Mother and Kissed Me. blllty und trustworthiness bnd been es tablished, but If they had been, and If Uie question were merely one of fidel ity nnd stnncbuess, I hoped I could bo regarded loyal. "If only those qualities were In volved, John," said Mrs. Sidney, "you could bnvo the inmost secrets of my soul. I would trust you with anything anywhere, but for your own salivation I would not have this terrible thing In your consciousness. Knowledge of It would curse you. It will be unless there Is expiation In a great love, and exculpation In self-snerlllee. Jed's soul is gone beyond redemption. I dure not think of Mr. Sidney nor of myself. Hut Jed Is n gross sinner." She wns by nature und wish an un emotional, untheatrlc lady, hut she wus drumutlc In her serlousue.s.s. Then she said: "I should like to huvu "'on for u son. I wns much embarrassed the mnro so when she kissed me. To conceal some disconcerting emotions I laughed uwkwardly and went on about my business. I wus to go blindfolded Into the Intricacies of tho strongest situa tions I ever oncounteijd. With early October beautiful days came und brought tranquillity. Life Is full of zest In October, the rich, rare month of the year; physical senses nre mnde more sensitive. Hart ley house blazed out In iiutumu splen dor. What bnd been beautiful before wus now glorified. I could have hours, but not complete days of happiness. I could use my common sciibc part of the time, but Isobel broke It down at other times. Occasionally I thought her willful and tried to believe Hint she uniiised her self by playing the devil with the only man available, but when I came to my Kenses, I knew I wus a fool. All she did was to ns.-oclute frunkly nnd frlendllly with the only nviilliihl man, nnd If she liked to be with me, It wus u compliment I did not seo that I deserved. With tho return to normality, with Jed buck und liumedlnte nlurias quiet ed, our family routine wns re-established. Dinner, which hud been less tho sochiblo occasion that It might have been, becauso of Jed's malevolent super-serviceability, became a pleasant event. Heretofore Jed had made It a point to restrict nnd embarrass our attempt nt easy conversation. Now be withdrew and left us to ourselves. It wns owing to tills extraordinarily favorable disposition that I. coming to dinner one evening in n sullen mood, bud opportunity to tuko up n subject which concerned me. "Mrs. Sidney," I said when Jed had placed tho coffee-tray beside her and bad retired, "I must usk you to release me from tho absurd position I urn In." "What position, John?" united athe kindly ludy. y "I nm engaged to Isobel," I said. "Which Is u torment und n trial," snld Isobel. "It Is," I refilled with warmth. "It Is it trial and torment from which I wish release. I do not want to be hcdgd In by the absurdities of this urni.ue merit." "John, my hoy," said Mrs. Sidney "what's Imppened to you?" "Nothing, but I'm confused. I'd feel better If Isobel nnd I were not on till preposterous footing." ' "Hut there- was a reason," Mrs Sid- j ney .suggested mildly, "and it still j exists, and we relied upon you, John ' We don't want to make you unhappy. ' but you don't care for Isobel. Thai's so apparent, and H helps us so much." i "I don't care whether lie cares fot me r not," said Nobel suddenly. "W . an. ;olng to remain engaged. (.Jet your precise mind reconciled to the fact John. Willie you are In this house, you and I are engaged to be married." "Isobel!" her mother exclaimed. "I'm going to have the freedom Hint this man John brings me as my be- j trot lied," snld Nobel. "Until of you can roco.itile yourselves to that. John, oti are it victim. You are engaged tc i me, mid 1 know you are unhappy Mother, you set nm do things because 1 am engaged to John. Well. I Intend to remain engaged and to do things und I love you both." And, by (leorge! .sh daiued up nnd kissed her mother and kissed me. CHAPTER XI". At Mines I bated ihjm if as a method ical person, but It did no good, i was methodical, and from It there was no e.'eape. I kept a dlaiy. And each night as 1 made an entry, I turned back to the day of the year before. In doing so this night I read In the entry of the previous year: "Mr. Sidney made a sudden nnd iistonlslilni: recovery ol strength. He walked about lit. room without assistance n.id wrts lu u high degree of nnlmatlon."" I recalled that night with the sharp or Interest because the entry I was ubont to inline this night was substan tially If not precisely to the same ef fect. Mr. Sidney bad again revealed nn astonishing recovery of strength und had displayed the greatest allium Hon. He hud asked us to have out dinner In his room, a thing very sel dom done, nnd he had been wonderful as the majestic, courteous head of the family, full of humor nnd Joviality. Jed was an amiable servitor, ban tered by Mr. Sidney from time to time. Nobel's animation was as Infectious as her father's, but Mrs. Sidney, I thought, had a look of apprehension lu her eyes' which was something apart from tin pleusnnt smile on her fuce. She seemed to Hud the occasion sg. nlilcunt, and I wonder that I had to rrnd irf. diary to be refreshed In mem ory. When I had read It, I also saw the significance, and turning the page In the record of the year before. I read: "Mr. Sidney Is lu u condition of ex haustion which might be culled a com plete and dangerous collapse. . . . Dr. Hrownell, summoned in alarm, siiys that during his acquaintance with the case this transition overnight from extraordinary activity to exhaustion has been noted once every year nnd nt approximately the same tlmo of the year, If not precisely on the same date." The apprehension which Mrs. Sid ney could not wholly conceal had this good foundation. Mr. Sidney was In the periodic miracle of renewed IiciiIHi and strength, but for whatever cause, he would he found tomorrow morning In u precarious condition of weakness The event seemed so certain that 1 thought It best to acquaint Dr. Hrows nell that night of the prcmonltorj symptoms. I decided to telephone, a niessagt to Dr. Hrownell's residence In the city, to be given to lilm Immediately If lie were awake or as soon ns he arose In the morning. I did not want to be over heard, by any chance, by nny one. in telephoning this premonitory message, and thought that the olllce would be my most secure place. The house was not yet In 'full dark ness when I came down the stairs to tho main ball. It wus lighted, and the stiilrwuy leading directly to Mr Sid ney's room wns lighted, which Indi cated Unit Jed was still with .Mr. Sid ney. The olllce deer never was locked. 1 did not want .led blundering In on me while I was telepb.nlng. He would be along presently, 1 thought, ami I de cided to go out o.) Hie niiilti portico until by the extinguishing of the lights I should know he s on his way to bed. I was on my wny f act on this plan when the light In Hit f,tulrway lending to Mr. Sidney's room U.H extinguished, nnd I knew Jed was . his way down stairs, I did not have tit.to to reach the entrance. I doubted th.u 1 c-ven had time to retrace my stoi.'. I did not want to meet Jed. So I swiped Into a sort or little lounging sp(ico olT the hull, which was qulto dark. lu a few minutes Jed went by. Hum ming, not singing. I bad expei-jed him to be very tipsy, considering Hie Jo vlul mood of Mr. Sidney It luid even occured to me that once u year, on u certain date one to bo coniinenieiuted Mr. Sidney Joined Jed In the wine and that this caused the relapse.
