elearV"
"Excessively. And now for the
rheck." Without moving his head
from the hack of the chair Otis pro
duced a private check book and a
fountain pen, and, feeling the way
with lil.s lingers, filled out a check
for ten thousand dollars. "What
name?" he asked.
"Make It payable to bearer."
"Very well"
"Father t"
A pair of portieres at tho rear of
the room were held far apart, and In
the aperture stood a girl. Without
turning his back was toward her
Fltzhugh knew who she was. He had
heard her voice before. As she spoke
his uplifted hands dropped swiftly
and concealed the newspaper package
beneath his coat. Then he turned,
and, even as he knew he would, loolJM
Into the pansy-blue eyes of the girl
with the Titian hair.
There was a dramatic tableau. Fltz
hugh, every nerve and musclu tense,
Btood looking at tho girl. Otis, who
had not moved, watched him. The
girl looked from one to the other In
quiringly. She bevmed to know Intu
itively that something very unu.sual
had occurred.
Otis was first to speak.
"Will you excuse us, Kathleen? This
gentleman und I have a little business
to transact."
"I did not Intend to Interrupt, fa
ther. I thought you were alone."
She went out, closing the portieres
behind her. Otis wrote "bearer" on
the check, snipped It from the book
and stood up. He held out the check
without saying a word.
Fltzhugh took the slip of paper,
studied It rellcctlvely. There was no
questioning Its genuineness. It called
for ten thousand dollars, and the call
was as authoritative as a govern
ment bond. Suddenly he drew n
deep breath, folded the check, and de
liberately tore It twice across. He
dropped the pieces on the table,
picked up his hat, and without a fur
ther word walked from the room.
I In the hall he found Kathleen Otis,
i "This Is not the first time." said he
In Ids best, drnmatlc manner, "you
have saved me from myself. 1 thought
I'd tell you."
She stepped back, looking at htm
curiously. "1 I'm afraid 1 don't un
derstand you. 1 don't think I even
know you."
"U'h hardly possible "
"What were you doing In there?"
Mia interrupted. "I know something
was wrong! and " She broke off,
nnd with Impulsive courage fairly
shot n question at him. "Wore you try
ing to blackmail my father?"
"Some people might have called it
Bomethlng worse," he replied easily;
and he was thinking: "She's beauti
fulbeautiful ! This must be the sort
men go crazy over. The sort men do
things for."
"What were you doing?" .she In
flated. "Why so Inquisitive?" he countered.
Sho looked unnoyed. "W-would you
mind telling me your name?" iJft
asked, und dug her nails Into her
palms upon feeling her cheeks burn
lug. Lie asked pointedly: "Can you recall
the 'dirties1; young man' you ever saw?"
Sho bit her Up and stepped back
from him. Sho was scarlet to her
temples. "Yes yes, I remember you
now. You are tho ono I gave a dollar
to yesterday. I believe you said your
name was Fltz Pltz something or
other?"
"Fltzhugh."
"Oh, yes Daniel Fltzhugh I I re
member perfectly now."
"I'm glad you do."
Then ho became aware thnt Syming
ton Otis was standing In the doorway
f the library. At sight of the man

Dreams
a
lunatic taking the unthinkable liberty
of addressing his daughter Otis' cool
ness had vanished, his restraint
snapped.
Fltzhugh took the girl's hand, and
lu a vibrant voice, pregnant with far
more significance than the words It
uttered, said, "I will not say goodhy
but au revolr." Then he turned and
left the house. The front door had
scarcely closed behind him before Otis
wheeled upon his daughter.
"What did that man say to you?" he
demanded.
"Why, n-nothlng of uny Importance.
Why?" She laughed nervously, like
a child caught In some petty misde
meanor. "Go to your room. That man was a
maniac. He might have killed you.
Where's Noonan?" lie rang a serv
ants' bell, ran to the bull telephone,
rustled through the telephone direc
tory, and got the Chicago avctiud po
lice station on tho wire.
"Police headquarters? . . . This
Is Symington Otis, Lake Shore drive.
Crazy man Just left my house. He's
got a bundle of dynamite, so be care
ful how you handle hint. . . . How'll
you know him? Well, he's dark, very
tall, well built, and about twenty-four
or live years old; he wears a soft gray
bat, tan shoes and n blue serge suit.
The dynamite is wrapped In n news
paper. I'll have my butler and nnother
servant follow him and keep hltu hi
sight. Ooodby."
When the big Iron gate clanged be

had entered It, fired with anarchy and

evil thoughts; he came out, tired with
aspiration and good thoughts. Al
ready his mind was busy with plans
for the future. He must not see
F.sthor again. He must forget her.
He would do something big, plnco
himself on an equal plane with the
girl he had Just left. There must
be no more wlldness, no more Idlings,
nor things forbidden by law. Ambi
tion again throbbed In his veins, but
It was the antithesis of last night's
ambition: that had been the kind
which tears down tills was the kind
that builds up.
He turned south on the drive, his
brain reveling lu golden dreams. In
his wake skulked the stout butler and
a second servant, who, mindful of the
telephoned word, "dynamite," took
especial pains to keep a discreet dis
tance between themselves and their
quarry. Isear Chicago avenue he saw
a man dodge Into un alley a short way

swiftly, started back and walked Into
the arms of two detectives, who
seemed to appear from nowhere.
Klly came up on a run, tackled hliu
from the rear and dexterously twisted
the parcel from his trasp.
"What's the charge, Kelly?" asked
tho prisoner, whose captors held him
fast by either arm. "Or Is It Just be
cause you owe me one?"
"Never mind what," growled Kelly.
"You'll do a stretch this time jouMl
remember. Thai's enough for you to
know."
F.n route to the police station the
detective kept a nice distance to the
rear with his tnhy, and only with
the utmost caution did he relinquish
It to the desk sergeant.
Fltzhugh was booked under the
mime of Randolph Fltz and consigned
to a cell with a "drunk and disor
derly," a petty larceny case and two
negro criminals.
When Symington Otis arrived at tho
police station the first person he met
was Kelly, and tho first question he
asked, us ho handed him u cigar, was,
"Did you get him?"
"Wo, got him nil right," answered
Kelly.
Tho last vestige of excitement van
ished from tho millionaire's face.
"And tho dynamite?"
Kelly exchanged meaning glances
with tho desk sergennt.
"Sergeant," said he, "show Mr. Otis
tho 'dynamite.'"
Tho sergeant bent his gaze thought
fully upon tho financier.
Copffltbl bf P.O. Browne A C.
"1 don't know what passed between
you and this fellow," he said, speaking
very slowly, "and I don't know what
you expect to see, but this Is what
lie had on Mm," And the sergeant
held up a gymnasium sweater, once
white and fresh but now soiled. "This
Is what he had wrapped lu the news
paper, and 'Is pockets was not bur
dened with so much as u match. If
he had any dynamite on him it was
Insldu of Mm, sir."
Otis' lips came together In n hard
line and his steel-gray eyes acquired
the flinty glint which his subordinates
nnd opponents In the wheat pit had
long ago come to know and fear. The
thought that he had been made a fool
of by a brazen Impostor was galling
far m rc galling than If the same Im
postor hnd really robbed him of the
ten thousand dollars. All the rage, all
the anger and contumely of the out
raged man of money power boiled
within him as he whispered savagely
to himself: "I'll fix him I" And yet
iigain: "I'll fix html"
CHAPTER III.
Tho first person besides tho news
paper men to visit Fltzhugh was Ks
ther Strom. He shook hands with her
through fhe Iron grating of his cell.
"Welcome 1" he cried gayly. "Hut
how'd you know?"
"I came as soon as 1 saw this," sl;o
replied, taking u newspaper from un
der her cloak and holding It between
the bars to him. His eye caught u
front-pngo headline:
"MADMAN HUNS AMUCK I"
Turning the page he found a group
of snapshots of himself In diverse ut
tltudes. "Here's progressive Journalism I" he
laughed, slapping the paper with the
back of his hand. "These things were
taken less than two hours ago. Not
bad work, either," He regarded them
critically, lie gloried In the notoriety.
She pressed closer to the bars, and
there was a troubled expression on
her face. "We must get you out of
this some way; nnd you mustn't treat
It so much as a Joke, for It's not. I've
a friend who's a lawyer. I'll send him
to you. I'll mnnnge to pay him some
how, somo time."
"Hut why?" he usked. "Why bother
about me at all? I'm nothing to you."
"I'll send him right away," she j
promised. "Goodby." She pressed his
hand and was gone.
Barely nn hour after Esther's de
parture the guard let Into the cell a
rotund, sleek-looking man who Intro
duced himself by printed card as
"Itoger Morton, attorney und coun- i
selor-at-law, Ashland block, Chicago,
hours nine to live." He sat down be
side his client on the foul bunk, and
behind his plump hand gave u genteel
little cough.
"My boy," he said, "you have only
one defense. It's Insanity don't get
excited 1"
Fltzhugh laughed. "Do I look ex
cited?" lie asked easily, and added,
"or insane?"
