"V.lieii this little story i? puhlisLeJ abroad !o yo:i supise the people of this state will have you. a dupe, a kinchins: tock. for the governor.? I think I'll leave you to meditate on the situation. O:. perhaps." h supgesterl. "you would prefer to hand me now your residua tion as a caadidate for jrovorii'ir:" Vv'ainwrisht was thinkini; rapidly. ' "Must you have your answer now?" 1-e demanded. "I will receive it any time before ddybrenk." the Master Mind conceded. Supi'ose we set the time at Tt o'clock this iiiorni'.iz." "That will suit me very well indeed." Waiiiwriubt agreed. "That hour makes a particular ap peal to me." Andrew went on smooth ly. "It was Koinethin less than, four years a so. at about the hour of 5 in the moniins. that my brother whom I love! sat in a store eel waiting wait ins for the dawn, the coming of which should erd his life. So, now, I leave you waitins fcr the dawn aud me! waiting for the end of something you hold dearer than life. I think the end of your public career. Until 5 o'clo- k. Mr. Wainwright!" The Mas ter Mind wheeled quieklj- and went out of the room. Alone together husband and wife prized loiis into each other's face. " He bent and kissed the tender lips. When the caress was done the spoke patheti cu!!y: "(Mi. Cortland, darling, what have I done to yli;"' "There, there, dearest!" he answered Font'iinsiy. "You are not to be blamed in any way. not even by yourself. You were caught in tliL' meshes of a devil. You h.ul no chance against the vin dictive sasacity of the Master Mind. Co to the telephone in my study," "Wain wright directed briskly, with the preer-ion ," one who has exactly de termined hi? course, "and call up 114 party .f." He kissed her again hurriedly, but very fond!y. and put her from him. Marshall returned. "Creegan's miles away now. by the rate lie was goins." MarsLall replied. YVainwrigbt napjied. "Find I'arker. You'll have to rout him out of bed. I (suppose. Have Lim wrke up the l"ontits and herd them together for an interview with me right away, l'ou keep an eye out for Andrew that he r'oesn't interfere." Lucene's voice jrnie down the stairway in a summons t her hftsband. and lie hurried to an swer. At the telephone in the study, where his wife had left the receiver bins ready for his use, he put it to his ear. and called: Is this 11 4-party .7? Yes? Dr. I'orbes. You? Ah, doctor, listen! This Is i'.upertaut." Wainwrisht hung up the receiver at l ;-t. at:d turner) t his wife with a nni!e of satisfaction. "Well, at least, that much lias been c parsed." he said. Tr. Forles has promised to cume over here at once. Thank heaven, now we liave'a chance ! win in this stmsgle." "ISnt I do imt understand just what rou mean to do." flie wife exclaimed wonderingly. "You told Lim that Au ii"ew had deve!ol a strange mania, iiTinistahable symptoms of insauity: that you wi-died the man put. under --;ra int for a period of observation. i:T you didn't tell the doctor the truth. . (1 you will have to do that when Ti Tines." WairwrirTtt shook his li-?ad.

I'.lount stormed, his big voice rumbling hoarse ly. "What the d;'il does this tVllow mean by routing us out of bed at this unholy hour of the niht?" Mrs. Elount, too. and Walter addi-d their querulous complaints. "Shut U the lot of you!" Wain wright commanded liereeiy. Waiuwright had turned his gaze full un the westerner at the beginning of the outburst. "You were saying. Mr. Morgan" he began. lllouut shrank as from a blow, and his ruddy face grew gray. ' "Wh what? Yv'hat's that?" Waiuwright was explicit enough. "I said. "Mr. Morgan Mr. Henry Morgan, to be exact alias, lliack Hank.' ' Blount mopped his forehead with a handkerchief that became quickly wringing wet with the perspiration that had gushed forth rt this open mention of a name that made audible all his terror of the law's vengeance against him for many offenses against it. "I Lave no idea as to what you are talking about!" he answered. "Waiuwright stuiied with scorn. "Perhaps," he remarked dryly, "your wife may prove more intelligent than you appear to be." "Me? Why, the idea!" she cried hysterically. "Me? The idea!" Waiuwright regarded the excited wo man with eyes in which there was no pity. Ilis voice as he addressed her again was metallic: "Yes, you. Sadie!" The woman winced percc-pMbly. "That is a respectful way for yu to speak to your mother-in-law, ain't it. now?" she demanded indignantly, with a disdainful toss of her head. "Y'ou ought to lie ashamed of yourself, Ctrtland. So you should. 'Sadie, in deed!" Waiuwright permitted himself anoth er smile. "Y"es. 'Sadie, indeed!' " he agreed whimsically. "I might say Milwaukee Sadie, in fact!" "Oh. rats!" she cried. Aud, having so said, she flopped down into a chair which creaked complainingly. Be tween sobs her voice sounded luguhri-onft- "ud Just when everything was going so nice too!" Walter thrust out Ids jaw in proc lamation of the st lung will power he did not possess and essayed a tone of rather haughty remonstrance. "Say. Cortland. I :m shocked and surprised greatly surprised. Honest to God. I don't know what" Wain wright's eyes sparkled angrily. "Oh. so you don't know, eh?" he said Icily. "Well. I do. Mr. Slocum." The collapse of the fellow was al most ludicrously swift. Lie could only mumble a feeble attempt at a ques tion, while his gaze shifted furtively, downcast. "M Mister what?" "Mr. Slocum," Wainwright retorted, with clear emphasis, that suggested no doubt as to the fact; "alias Diamond Willie." Blount, criminal though lie had been for most of his life, was nevertheless a man and possessed of a man's spirit. The westerner spoke with a certain plain sincerity that became him. "Well. Mr. Wainwrisht." he said gmfL'y. discreetly relinquishing the more familiar form of address, "what are you going to do with us? Give it to us straight now. There's no use ii: heating about the bush. What are v, going to get?" " There came a little lighteuiug ol Wain wright's face as he listened. Hi answer was prompt, but cryptic: "It all deHjuds." "Mr. Waiuwright. for God's sake. sir. give us the chance! cried Blount. "It is not impossible that 1 shall do so." was the answer. "Certainly 1 shall give you the chance you ask for on one condition." "The weather leaten face of the west erner shone radiant. ? .."It is simply this." Waiuwright went ou. including the three in a searching glance. "I require the services of all j of-you just for tonight. I nm about tc put In ' opera ti-:n a plan that will ie ! materially nssi-ted by your co-operation. You three must staud by me to night. Thiit.is all .of my condition.

Marshall gave a grunt of reluctant assent, but consoled himself by frown ing violently at these offenders against the law. "It is necessary." "Waiuwright went on In a colorless voice, "that you should stand by me tonight again st him." A slight pause before the final pronoun gave it significant emphasis. Each of the three gave a perceptible start, then rested rigid. It was Mrs. f 7 -.1.-. V s r- .-M -m- ?. -A f v rv. - V. X Kx-. -- .t p.... I E at? J "-..V'S x : r - . -t ..." "What are you goi.13 to do with us7". Blount who put the general emotion of the criminals into a single word, ut tered with an expression of horrified incredulity: "Him?" "Yes," Wainwright replied blr.ndly, though somewhat astonished by the latent eP.'eet of the announcement on his proposed confederates, "I mean An drew, as he calls himself, the man who brought you here." He looked from one to another of the trio before him. "Well?" he exclaimed sharply after a long pause. His imperious look fixed ou Blount aiul remained there. The westerner spoke hesitatingly. "How do you mean?" he asked. Wainwright proceeded with his in structions as though unaware of the apprehensiou under which the three were laboring. "A gentleman will soon be here." he said briskly, "whom. I believe, you have all met already. Iu Lis presence you will continue to be what I have hitherto thought you to be. In other words, you are to appear in your fa miliar roles as my relations by mar riage, as the family of my wife." At this simple eiucidatiou of the pri mary requirement, the agitated crim inals plucked up a. little more spirit. Walter voiced the feeling: "Hub! That's a pipe!" Wainwright continued with undimin ished complacency lu his manner: "In addition to this you will hold your selves in readiuess, all of you, to sub stantiate, when called on. whatever I tuny say." "Sure, we'll do that!" Blount ex claimed, cheerfully. "But you say it will afi'e1 1 him Andrew?" Wainwright nodded assent. "Yes." he agreed, ' it will be aliout him. I shall do the talking. You will understand fast enough when the time comes. All you have to do will be to follow my load. There will lie na trou ble a'.MHit it there can be none." Blount agreed, with ci::nh.isis. "We'll do just as you want us to. aud that fcoes!" Wainwright nodded his head in ac ceptance of the assurance. And then. ery gently and slov iy the door open ed and Andrew stood smiling tolerant ly ou the threihoiX m . - j f7 14 ? if " v - '"I rrc"5 CHAPTER XVII. At the Bar. K the interval of time that elapsed I after his interview with Wain 1 wright, Andrew had chosen to shut himself In the seclusion of the cupola room, where he held com munion with his thoughts while await ing the appointed hour for the render ing of his enemy's decision. As to what that decision would lie the Mas ter Mind had small doubt, nor did he feel cuy concern over the result should the improbable occur, and Wainwright refuse thus to give up his political career. In such case the effect would be se cured none the less. There was no means by which Wain wright would be able, so far as An drew could surmise, to prevent pub licity. And publicity would be enough The Master Mind would le at pains to secure the widest notoriety for the re ports most likely to do his enemy harm. His work would be eagerly aid ed by Wainwright's iolitical foes, who were many aud powerful. The victim would become a laughing slock or an object of contempt. He could no long er command a following of loyally de voted followers. It mattered not at all whether the re ports concerning him should Ik? the truth or garbled distortions. Either would be fatal iJ his high ambitious The public could never agaiu respect as their chief a uiau who had been s hoodwinked as to consort intimately with notorious criminals, to receive them into his household, to accept them as his closest relatious, to mak one of them his wife, wliom, but for timely exposure, lie would have made mistress of the executive mansion of tlie greatest state of the Uniou. : Andrew's complacency waxed as he considered the fact that his enemy could not escape out of the toils. There could be no ingenuity sufficient to extricate the captive of his plottin Wiiin wright had only the option of ab dicating from his iosition of leader ship quietly and without scandal. aldi eating absolutely for his lifetime or ot being forced out ignominiously by pub lic scandal. Of course he would resist to the utmost, but the ultimate effect of all resistance could avail naught Even at this moment, doubtless, h was employing every resource of his excellent brain power in contriviu sttme method of self defense. Andrew smiled nt the thought. Let the poor prisoner of his wiles work his subtlest it would only make the game more di verting, the end no less certain. Tht struggles of this hapless fly within the meshes of the web gave greater zest to the glee of the remorseless, gloatin; slider, which watched and waited con tcntediy for an end that was certain. The Master Mind continued his sat isfaction in the triumph of his schem Ing I'V reviewing the events that had led through sure stages to this cul initiation. His heart was agaiu stirred with the familiar, stabbing pain of his loss as fie thought of the brother whom he had so loved, unjustly done t shameful death, l'et somehow, now in the hour of his victory, there was something less poignant in his emo tion than ever hitherto. Andrew mar veled at this with a cyxious feeling of alarm over his own lack of sensibility He could not understand how the great passion of his life should be thus less ened. True, there had been years in tervening since first death broke in on love and turned its vital forces intc hate against another. Yet the mere passage of time could not explain this change, for his hate had not moderat ed in the same period. On the con trary, it had increased even, never los ing aught of its virulence, rather add ing always to it. Still. Andrew puz zled over this startling problem. It was inconceivable that in the moment of conquest the very motive itsrff ol all his struggles to this end should show a weakening. It was incon ceivable, indeed nevertheless it was true. The Master Mind felt a sickness- of heart as he searched himself anew for some clew to an understanding of the thing that had come to pass, for hi knew that somehow his own soul had betrayed him. The thoughts of the Master Mind turned presently, to Lucene. The sub ject was strangely distasteful to him now, yet he held to it, as if its fasci nation were sujierior to a will hithertc indomitable. He recalled his first pur poses concerning this girl, the project of making her available as a weapon against his enemy. He had never fal tered in that purpose. His first plan had been accomplished in its entirety nave the consummation, and that wus now at hand and sure beyond perad venture of doubt. But, while the prima intention had been thus achiev ed, there had been so much more oh. vastly more! lie had become the cre ator of a radiant lersonaIlty where had been only a very pretty, illiterate waif. He had caused the delicate fash ioning of a woman refined and beauti ful far beyond the ordinary. He had found delight in his responsibility to ward her. lie had bad pride in a re sult that had not been save for his di rection. The gratitude of the girl warmed his heart. The warped ego tism of the man did not permit him accurately to gauge the depths of his injustice toward her in making her life a pawn in his game of hate. On tht contrary, he was able by some singu lar quirk of intelligence to take full satisfaction for himself in all his fa vozu to her and to disregard almost comrletelylthe-ulptnatevruin of her life that must be Ids liahdiwork. He fail ed, utterly to-apprec-iate hi? own guilt trwa-d' her whereat he- very develop p??nt; of her " nature which he had Nvrchght would, make her final grief tnest' dreadful, an anguish infinitely be- end ; tbe'' capabilities of tormeut pos tessed' byjMaggie Flint I have said that he failed utterly. That is not quite true, ne failedT indeed, but net utterly. Sometimes an iustinct to ward the truth flashed on him. but he shut his mental eyes to such illumina tion. He preferred the darkness rath er than the light that chiefest sin and the might of his will gave to him ns he chose. But tonight the Master Mind found it. difficult to hold his eyes shut. Since he had ijeen the wife in her agony over what had come to pass through his machiuatioii3 he was unable to Iguore as before this wretchedness of his making for her. He could not escape realization of what all this must mean to her. In his perception now he learned, too. as never yet in tlie years of asso ciation with her. how dear she was become to him. He altered no whit in his resolve of vengeance on the man whom be held responsible for his brother's death, but nt least he was forced to admit the torment It must inflict on her and as well the distress to himself that her suffering must cause.
