MONDAY, JULY 19, 1913. PLATTSMOCTn SOU -WEEKLY JOURNAL. page r. i i e Mfffi mm Novelized by Marvin Dana, author of "Within the Law." from the sue- cessful Daniel Copyright, 1913. by th CHAPTER VU. In the Toils. 11 S Wnliiwrifiht and his friend. Dr. ZJV Forbes, sat wniting: in tlie I house of which the titular head was Mr. Wjilter Blount of Laramie. Wyo.. Andrew entered tle drawing room, wearing his de ferential aspect f the old family re tainer, somewhat inclined to garrulity. "Mr. Blount ham bee-u informed of your call, sirs." he said. "He will Pee yon, sirs, at once. He bowed again. I hope, sirs, you won't ir.iiul if 1 go on with a few bits of my work here, ns it's so late." "Oh. certainly not." Wninwrlcht said. Indifferently. Next came tbe entrance of Walter, who halted just within tbe doorway, and looted from one to the other of his guests, in obvious per jexity between the two es to which aibiht be Mr. Waiiiwrigut. That ceoi tlenian, standing up and smiling, went forward with Lis hand outstretched. "I am Mr. Wainwright," he said, as Le shook hands with his host, "and I inust e'l you that l'iu XEfcly glad to meet ycu again I" The emphasis on the last word was significant. Then, Le turned toward tV physician: "This is Lr. Forbes, a particular friend of mine, who was good enough to accom pany me. He is the superintendent of the I'owhattan asylnm for tle insane." The three men were sea: id near one another. I called," Wainwright explained simply, "in order to deliver in person the thanks you Mere at such pains to escape last niirht." "Walter beamed pleasantly. "Oh. that's all right," he exclaimed, breezily. "Of course. I knew you to night the minute I caught tight of your face, though the name didn't explain anything to me whi n your card was brought. I only did what any one would. It's not worth mentioning." "My dear sir," Wainwrigbt returned earnestly. "I mnst insist on mention ing it- Why. but for you I should surely have been shot. You struck up that fellow's Laud just in lime." "Awfully glad I happened along as I did." Wnltqr said genially. "Have they 'aught the man?" he inquired In terestedly after Andrew Lad served lights to the smokers. Wuinwrirht shook his head. "No, I'm sorry to say, they hare rot," he replied with disgust In his voi'-. "The scoundrel really made a onderf ill getaway. And that reminds n:e. Mr. IMount how did you contrive to disappear so soon?" Why, the fact is" he said with an assumption of yreat canclor. "I'm a strnrjger in New York, and I knew, of course, there'd le a biir hullabaloo about a thing like this, an 1 I hate no toriety police courts and so on, you understand newspapers too. So when 1 saw the fellow that attacked you had skipped I had the idea that I'd do the same thing, though for a different rea son. I just mixed in tbe crowd a min ute and then slipped around the corner into the next block and came home." He chuckled complacently mid then e!dd, in order to change the topic, 15ut how'd you manage to find meV" "Well, now." Wainwrigbt answered, "that's a bit old loo. An anonymous persou -alled uie up on the telephone at my pla-e last night after I got back, said he'd been among those present at my little adventure, had seen my res cuer and had cuessed afterward that I might like to know who it was. and be gave me your name and address." Walter perceived that Andrew was bow occupied in rearranging some niagnztnes on the large trble. and he recalled the memorandum prepared for bis guidance. Yes, the Oreat White Way! That must Ik introduced next. He sioke mechanically. Fuuny." he corimented. "You see, I know so few people in New York." Ir. Forbes peered with curiosity at tbe young man. "You're a strnr.ger here, you say, Mr. mount?" "Y'es." was the answer, very cheer fully gfvfti. for now tbe thief saw bis war t.- carry out the required instruc tion. "And I cs n't say that I like your town very much. Of course there are pim thing right enough. I'll admit th:it lie til cienth 1 spsat along ibe tJre-'t Wltite War passe 1 off lively i enough. Bnt. you know, n man soon gets enougij of that,. WLea dad and play by a D. Carter " 1 J '-v.. - . . -. ifeM "s3 1 M- K. Fly company. mother came on east to meet sis c, who's just got back from Europe, 1 took this place so we could all be to get her .for awhile. Dad's been josh ing me about getting homesick." he added, with a shamefaced grin that acknowledged some Justice in the charge. "He says I won't be able to stick It out for a year, but I think I will maybe just for a stunt." "Where is your home, may I ask?" Wainwright Inquired. "My home town is Lirainie. Wyo. Of course I'll have to admit that it's a dinky little place, but I like it at that Y'ou see, everybody's your friend out there." Andrew had gone to a win dow at the far end of the room a fact duly observed by his pupil. "Y"es: ev erybody's your friend out there." he related, with a hint of emotion in his voice, "but here it's so hard to get ac quaintedthat is. with the right sort." "If I can ! of service to you in any way" Wainwright suggested. "Oh. I don't mean to butt in," Wal ter declared modestly. Wainwright smiled in friendly fash ion. "I'm glad you did last night." be said emphatically. "Oh. that! Rut. say. have you got any idea why this particular man tried to kill you or who he was or any thing?" "Nothing definite.' Vainwnght re plied. "I dare say it was just some one with a grievance. You may hap pen to know. Mr. Blount, that I was for some years district attorney here. During my term of service I was com pelled to send a good many men to prison, first and last, and some even to the electric chair." Asthelani words were spoken Andrew, who had been surreptitiously watching the speaker, turned his face instinctively to hide from view the distortion of hate that transformed it. "Y"es," Wainwright continued, unwitting the feeling arous ed in one of his hearers; "a good many criminals have come to hate me." "Gee." Walter ejaculated, "it gives me a chill just to think of it!" "Ob. you'd soon get used to it!" Wainwright returned indifferently. Walter shook his head violently. "Yes." he agreed. "I suppose it's all in tbe day's work: but. just the same, the idea of receiving threatening let ters and all that sort of dope" Wainwright Interrupted. "My secre tcry usually destroys them at once." "There Is one notable exception." Dr. Forbes observed in his characteristical ly precise manner of speech as he re folded his hands carefully and smiled a wintry smile. "I refer to tbe white card episode." The. white card episode?" Walter re leated. Wainwright's face lost its rather bored aspect. "Ah. the white card!" he said thought fully. "Yes. that Is something differ ent. And tt? white card is siill com ing coming from some very mysteri ous person, a sort of genius in his way." He rut a hand into the breast pocket of his coat and drew forth a bit of white cardboard, which he ex tended toward his host. "This is one I received yesterday." Walter, who had examined the card curiously, looked up in disappointment as be returned It to its recipient. "Why, there's nothing on It," be com plained. "What's the idea? Is it from somebody you sent up?" "It carries a message In spite of its being blank," Wainwright said somber ly. "As to your question, no. it is not from some one I sent vp. I've never seen tbe man that sent me this and tbe others like it, and promises to send me more, of different colors." Wainwright then proceeded to de scribe the Allen murder, tbe sentence and the threatening developments thereafter. ! Walter'a desire for details concern big tbe curious situation outlined by Wainwright was thwarted by the en trance of Mr. and Mrs. Blount, pursu ant to Andrew's privately conveyed In structions to them. Husband and wife were in eTening dress. He sprang up. as his guests rose, and introduced the twain as his father and mother. I'm right glad to meet any friend of my son's." the husband affirmed, i "He prored himself my friend last 'night." "Wainwright cauckied. said. Blount ' ra fas; JO "Yes. be happened to be right on the Job. dldnt he?" Mrs. Blount, who did not approve of being left out of any conversation In her neighborhood, interposed hospi tably, as she arranged her ample form in a chair near the guests. . "Now, do sit down." she urged, and beamed on first the one visitor and then the other. She felt a triumphant pride in her iosition here as hostess in metropolitan society and wished that, tbe members of the Mothers" club of Laramie, Wyo.. might see her now, entertaining thus intimately two distinguished geutkmen of New York city. Wainwright remarked, as be seated himself in a chair facing his hostess "I fear we are detaining you." "Not a bit. you ain't." Mrs. Blount asserted, with forcefulnesj. "Father and Lucene and I were just going out to have dinner at soim restaurant, and we ain't in any hurry at all." Mr. Blount re-enforced his wife's statement. "No, siree, we ain't in any rush. We've got a taxi waiting." the west erner went on as he cieiied a cigar case. "Let Jt wait. I say. Mother end I don't come to New York often, and. when we do come why. darn the ex pense! Eh? Ain't that right, mother?" Dr. Forbes made an effort to sus tain a share in the conversation by ad dressing Biount. "You come from the cattle couutry. I hear." "It used to be a real cattle coun try," was the answer, "but nowadays it's all sheep. It's good business, too, all right, though the smell of those critters is something awful. The last few years have been wonderful. I tell you. sir. Why. I can remember when II cents for wool was considered a very good price. But two years ago we got . That's som price for raw wool. lelieve me. But of course no one knows what this new tariff" Walter Interrupted the speaker with an admirable imitation of the pert son's rude manner toward the father. . "Now. dad. for heaven's sake, don't you get started ui the t.-iriC." "No. John." Mrs. Bloimt tittered. "1 wish I had a dollar for every hour I've had to listen to that stuff." She turn ed her eyes on Walter. "I wish, my dear," she said In tones expressive of deepest maternat pride, "that you'd go and ask Lucene to please hurry." Walter stooj up obediently. "Yes. mother." he said, "if you will excuse me to our guests." And be hurried from the room. IMount took advantage of the refer ence to the daughter of the house to enter again into the conversational arena. "i'es, Mr. Wainwright, and you. doc tor, we're just naturally some proud f that girl of ours. Y'ou might think four yars in France would spoil a girl. So it might some of them. I guess. But not our girl! Why, Bucene is just crazy to get borne again out to Laramie. Wyo." "I don't know, fnthrr." the wife said doubtfully. "I'm afraid she'll never be really satisfied here in her own country any more." "I guess that's right," said Walter, who had re-entered in time to hear his mother's remark. Blount waved an arm in vehement denial. Then the visitors stood up quickly, looking toward the d rwny. Lucene had paused there, and her b!ue eyes, :iow darkly lustrous, vnere fixed on Wainwright in a gaze that penetrat ed to his soul. '(To Be Continued.) . MURDOCH. J (Special Correspondence.)
