named llutton, whom he last mot In Knft

When Miss Karroll Is mentioned Itutton is
stranircly agitated. ChatterJI appear
and "summons Hutton to a meeting of a
mysterious body, llutlon seizes a revol
ver and dashes after ChatterJI.
CHAPTER V. (Continued).
Suddenly Hutton started and wheel
ed round, ovory trace of cxcltomont
rraoothod away, Meeting Amber's
ease he nodded an If casually, and
eald, "Ob, Ainbor," qulotly, with an
-effect of faint nurprlso. Then ho
dropped heavily into a chair by the
table.
"Well," he aad slowly, "that la
over."
Amber, without speaking, wept to
tits nldo and touched his shoulder with
that pitifully Inadequate gocturo of
fy.mpAlhy which men so frequently
employ.
"I killed him," said Button dully.
"Yes," roplled Ambor. Ho wan not
surprised; he had approhonded tho
tragedy from tho moment that Itutton
bad fled him,
After a bit Itutton turned to the
table and drew an automatic pistol
Jron his pocket, opening tho maga
tlno. Fire cartridges romalned In
the clip, showing that two had boon
exploded. "I was not suro," ho nald
thoughtfully, "how many times I had
fired." Ills curiosity satlsllod, ho re.
loaded tho weapon and roturned It to
Ills pockot "Ho died llko a dog," he
iald, "whlniperlng and blasphomlng
In the face of oterntty . , . out
there In the cold and the night . . .
It was sickening the sound of tho
fcullets tearing through his llcah. . . ,"
Ho shuddered.
"Didn't he resist?" Ambor asked In
"voluntarily, "Hb tried to. I let him pop away
with his revolver iintll It was empty.

"What made you wait?"
. I didn't care; It didn't matter. Ono

'accompany him .back to 4 . I
was hungry for his bullet more than
for his llfo; 1 gavo him every chance.
Hut It had to bo as It was. That was
IFate."
With a wrench Ambnr nnllprf him
self together. "Itutton," ho domanded'
suddenly, without premeditation,
"what are you going to do?"
"Do?" Itutton looked up. his oyos
perplexed. "Why. what la tboro to do?
Get away as best I can, I prosumo
seek another holo to hide In."
"But how about tho law?" '
"The law? Why ncod It ovor be

Suddenly Itutton smoto tho tablo
with his flBt. "By Indurl" he swore
strangely, his voice quavering with
Joy; "I had not thought of that!" He
Jumped up and began to move exulted
ly to and fro. "I am freol None but

A. discreet knock sounded on tho

threshold, palo and careworn. Rut
ton paused, facing him.

"Any orders, sir?"
"Yea; begin packing up, Wo leavo

"Very good, sir."
Hutton roplonlshed the flro and
tood with his back to It, smiling nl-
most happily. All ovldonce of romorso

ly, "And by the simplest of solutions.
Strange that I should never havo

glanced carelessly towardiUha win
dow; and it was as If his lips had
been wiped clean of speech.
Ambor turnod, thrilling, his flesh
crouplng with tho horror that ho had
divined in llutton's trnnsiixou gaxo.
Outsido tho glass, that wnu lightly
llvorcd with frost, ooraothlng moved

tho Bpnco of 20 heartbeats, Beneath
tho turban Amber Boomed to sco two
oyes, wide staring and terribly alight
God J cried Rutton thickly, jerking
forth his pistol.
Tho shadow vanished.
With a slnglo thought Ambor
sprang upon Itutton, snatched tho
weapon from his norvolcss flngors,
and, leaping to tho door, lot himself
out.
Tho snow had ceased; only tho
wind raved with iintompered force.
Cautiously, and, to bo frank, a bit
dismayed, Amber mado n reconnais
sance, circling tho building, but dis
covered nothing to rownrd his pains.
Only, boforo tho window, through
which ho had scon tho peering tur
baned hoad, he found tho impressions
of two feet, rather deop and dcflnlto,
toes pointing toward tho house, as
though somo ono had lingered there,
looking In. Tho sight of them reas
sured him ridiculously.
"At least," ho reflected, "disembod
ied spirits loavo no footprints!"
Ho found Rutton precisely as ho
had loft him, his very attitude an un-
uttored question.
"No," Ambor told him, "ho'd made
a quick getaway. Tho marks of bis
foot wero plain enough, outsldo the
window, but ho was gone, and .
somehow I wasn't overkeen to fol
low him up."
"Right," said tho otdor man deject
edly. "I might havo known ChatterJI
would not havo como alono. So my
crlmo was futile." 116 spokd without
spirit as If complotoly fagged, and
movcti slowly to tho door.
"David, a llttlo while ago I promised
to ask your aid If evor tho time
should como when I might bo frco to
do 00; I said, 'That hour will never
strlko.' Yet already It Is horo; I
nood you. Will you holp mo?"
"You know that."
"I know. , . . Ono moment's
patlcnco, David." Rutton glancod at
tho clock. "Tlmo for my mcdlclno,"
ho said; "that heart troublo I men
tioned. . . ."
Ho drow from a waistcoat pocket a
small sllvor tubo, or phial, and un
corking this, measured out a certain
numbor of drops into a sllvor spoon.
As he swallowed tho doso tho pfilol
slipped from his flngors and rang
upon the hearthstone, spilling Its con
tents In tho ashes. A pungont and
heady odor flavored tho air.
"No mattor." said Rutton lndlffor-
cntly. "I shan't need It again for somo
tlmo." Ha picked up and restored tho
phial to his pocket "Now lot mo
think n bit" Ho took a quick turn up
tho room and down again.
"A mad danco," ho observed
thoughtfully: "this thing wo call llfo.
We meet and whirl asutidor motes In
a sunboam. Tonight Destiny choso to
throw us togothor for, a llttlo spneo;
tomorrow wo Bhall bo Irrevocably part
ed, for all tlmo."
"Pon't say that, Rutton."
"It Is bo written, David." Tho rann'B
smllo vas strangely placid. "After
UiIb night, we'll novor moot. In the
morning Doggott will "'forry you
over "
"Shan't wo go togothor?'
"No," said Rutton scronoly; "I must
loavo boforo you."
"Without Doggott?"
"Without Doggott; I wish him to
go with you." , .
"Whoro?"
"On tho errand I am going to ask
you to do for mo, You aro froo to
loavo this country for sovoral
months?"
"Quito. I correoted tho flnul gal
lays of my 'Analysis of Sanakrlt Liter
ature' just boforo I camo down. Now
I've nothing on my mind or hands.
Go on."
"Walt." Rutton wont n second time
to the leather trunk, lifted tho lid,
and camo back with two small par
cols. Tho one, which appoared to con
tain documonts of somo aort. ho caBt
negligently on tho flro, with tho air
of ono who destroys that which Is no
longor of valuo to him. It caught im
mediately and began to flamo and
smoko and Btnouldor. Tho othor was
several Inches squaro and flat, wrap
"Hear with me, David, for yet a llt
tlo while," Itutton beggod. "Sit down."
"All right but 1" Amber resumed
hin scat, staring.
"You and Doggott aro to sock her
out, wherovor shd may bo, and rescue
her from what may be worso than
death. And It Bhall como to pass that
you shall lovo ono another and marry
and llvo happily over nftor Just ns
though you were a princo and aho an
enchanted princess in a fairy tale, David."
"I must say you seem pretty damn
suro about it!"
"It must bo so, David; It shall bo
no! I am an old man older than you
think, perhaps and with ago thoro
sometimes comes something strange
ly akin to tho gift of second-sight So
I know It will bo so, though you think
mo a madman."
"I don't indeed, but you . . .
Well! I glvo It up." Amber laughed
uneasily. "Go on. Whero's this maid
en In distress?"
"Iu India I'm not suro Just whoro.
You'll find her, howovor."
And then?"
"Then you are to bring hor homo
with you, without delay."
"But suppose "
"You must .win her first; then she
will como gladly," '
"But I've Just told you I loved an-
othor woman, Rutton, and besides "
You mean tho Miss Farroll you
mentioned?"
"Yes. I"
"That will bo no obstacle."
'What! How in thunder d'you
know It won't?" Ambor expostulated.
A faint suspicion of the truth quick
ened his wits. "Who is this woman
you want mo to marry?"
"My daughter."
"Your daughter!"
"My only child, David."
"Thon why won't my my love for
Sophia Farroll intcrfero?"
"Bocauso," said Rutton slowly, "my
daughter and Sophia Farroll aro tho
same, . . . No; listen to me; I'm
not raving. Hero is my proof hor
latest photograph." Ho put It into
Amber's hands.
Dazed, tho younger man stared
"You will bo kind her, and true,
David? You'll lovo her faithfully and
mnko her lovo you?"
"I'll do my best" said tho young
roan humbly.
"It must bo bo she must bo taught
to lovo you. It la essential, impern
've, that 'sho marry you and.ldavo In,
dla with you without a day'n delay."
Amber sat back In his chair, breath
ing quickly, his mouth tense. "I'll do.
my bos But, Rutton, why? Won't
you toll mo? Shouldn't I know I,
who am to bo her husband, her protec
tor?" "Not from me. I am bound by an
oath, David. Somo day It may bo that
you will know. Perhaps not. You
may guess what you will you havo
much to go on. But from mo, noth
ing. Now, lot us sottlo tho dotnlls.
I'vo vory llttlo tlmo." Ho glaneed
again at tho shoddy tin clock, with a
slight but noticeable shiver.
"How's that? It's hours Ull morn
ing." "I Bhall nover see tho dawn, David,"
said Rutton qulotly.
"What''
"I havo but ten minutes more of
llfo. ... If you must know In a
word: poison. . . . That I be
saved a blacker-sin, David!"
"You moan that medicine tho sil

with horror.
"Yes. Don't bo alarmed; It's slow
but sure and painless, dear boy. It
works Infallibly within half an hour.
Thoro'll bo no agony merely tho
drawing of tho curtain. Best of all, it
leaves no traces; a diagnostician
would call It heart-falluro. . . .
And thus I escape that" Ho nodded
coolly toward tho door.
"But this must not bo, Rutton!"
Amber roso suddenly, pushing back
his chair. "Something must be done.

"Not bo loud,- please you might
alarm him. After It's all over, call
him. But now It's useless; tho thing

ho loved; It was unquestionably she.
Ho gasped, trembling, astounded.
"Sophia . . .1" ho said thickly, col
oring hotly. Ho was conscious of a
tightening of his throat muscles, ma

"Hor mother," said Rutton softly,
looking away, "was a Russian noble
woman. Sophia Is Farrell's daughter
by adoption only. Farroll was onco

with his hand and remained silent for a
fow seconds. "When Sophia was left

Tno older man ripped tho cover

Holding this to tho light its faco in

Rutton tapped tho silver phial

Ho ceased to speak and closed his

Doggott was silent probably asloep.
It was closo upon two In tho morn
ing.
"Amber," said Rutton suddenly and
very clearly, "you'll find a will In my
dispatch box. Doggott Is to hav6 all
I possess. Tho emerald ring tho

"Yes, I I"
"Your hand. . . . Mine Is cold?
No? I fancied It was," said tho man
drowsily. And lator: "Sophia. You

"On my faith!"
Rutton's flngors tightened cruelly
upon his, then relaxed suddenly. Ho
began to nod, his chin drooping to

For a long tlmo Amber sat unmov-

and bewilderment
Out of doors something made a cir

In the emorald ring on Amber's

Rutton retained bis clutch upon Am

"Ah-h!" sighed Rutton. Relieved,

Presently Ambor rose and qulotly
exchanged dressing gown and sllppera
for his own shooting Jacket and boots
which by now wero dry, thanks to
Doggott's thoughtulness In placing
them near tho flro.
The shabby tin clock had droned
through 30 mlnutos since Rutton had
spoken his last word. In that Inter
val, sitting faco to face, and for a lit
tle tlmo hand In hand, with tho man
to whom ho had pledged his honor,
Ambor had thought dcoply, carefully
weighing ways and means; nor did he
move until ho bollcvcd his plana ma
ture and definite.
But beforo ho could take ono stop
toward redeeming his word to Rut
ton, ho had many cares to dispose of.
In tho hut, Rutton lay doad of poison;
somowhoro among tho dunes tho babu
lay In his blood, shot to death foully
murdered, tho world would say.
Should thoso things bocomo known, ho
would bo detained Indefinitely In No
komls as a witness If, indood, ho es
caped a graver charge.
It was, then, with a mind burdened
with black anxiety that he went to
arouso Doggott.
"Mr. Rutton Is dead, Doggott," ho
managed to Bay with somo difficulty.
Doggott exclaimed bencnth his
breath. "Dead!" ho crlod In a tone of
daze. In two strides ho bad left Am
ber and was kneeling by Rutton's
sldo. Tho most cursory examination,
howovor, sufficed to rcsolvo his every
'doubt
"Doad!" whispered the servant Ho
roso and stood swaying, his lips
a-tromble, his oyes blinking through a
mist, his head bowed. '"E always

When ho had himself In moro con
