New York, Dec. 8. Dr. William
Bayard Hale issued a formal state
, mcnt denying that he had received
funds from the German government
while he was serving in Berlin as
special correspondent of the New
York American.
V'The statement," said-Er. Hale,
'by whomsoever made, that while in
the-employ of the New York Ameri
can I ever received one oennv from
,, the German government or from any
body connected with the German
government, directly i or indirectly,

"The allegation that the German
government or anybody connected
with the German government, 'di
, rectly or indirectly, dontributed one
cent toward the payment of my ex
penses in JJerlin is false.
Denies Serving Germany.
A denial that he had ever served
as agent, counsel or in any capacity
in the interests of the German gov
ernment was issued by Samuel Un-
termyer, who asserted that his sug
gestion in 1916 to Dr. Heinrich Al
bert, commercial attache of the Ger-
; man embassy, that the latter ac
quire an interest in a New York
.v newspaper was a purely personal
negotiation.
Though upholding the propriety
of any lawyer serving as a legal
counsellor to the German govern
ment in this country, while the Uni
ted States was neutral, Mr. Unter-
myer stated that he had repeatedly
refused to perform professional ser
vices for Von Bernstorff and his as
sociates. He told the Germans, he
added, tttat he was under obligations
to the British people, many of
., whose interests he had represented
in this country for a long period of
years,
i Protests to Committee.
vMr. Untermyer sent a telegram
tonight to Senator 'Overman, chair
man of the investigating committee,
t ' asking permission to apear as
a witness on Tuesday or at later
" , date to be ' permitted to submit a
statement for the committee record.
"I request that meantime," the
message ( said, "there be noted my
respectful protest against the use
' of your records as a medium for
publicly pillorying and misrepre
sentating loyal,, and pubfic spirited
citizens for having in 1915 joined
a movement supported by the
authorities for furnishing milk to
starving German babies.
"I did not know of the circum
stances," the ' telegram continued,
"but it now appears that in 1915
, Mrs. , 'Untermyer committed the
," heinous crime of not only permitting
but of actually abbetting a meeting
'at her home to devise means and
r way of urging upon the State and
roctouice departments that thev se
cure the consent of Great Britian
.to the lifting of its blockade inso

sent to the starving babies of Ger

, CHAPTER XIX.
' Bobby Walks in His Sleep.
When they were in the house
their halting curiosity was lost in a
vast surprise. The hall was empty
but they heard voices in the library.
They ' hurried across the dining
room, pausing in the doorway, star
ing with unbelieving eyes at the ac
customed picture they had least ex
pected to see.
Parades lounged on the divan,
smoking with easy indifference. His
clothing and his shoes were spot
less. He had shaved, and his beard
had been freshly trimmed. Rawlins
and the district attorney' stood in
front of the fireplace, studying him
with perplexed eyes. . The persis
tence of their regard even after
Bobby's entrance suggested to him
that the evidence remained secret
ed, that the officers, under the cir
cumstances, were scarcely interest
ed in his return. He was swept
himself into an explosive amaze
ment. '
"Carlos! What the deuce are you
doing her?"
Ihe fanamaman expelled a cloud
of smoke. He smiled.
"Resting afte a fatiguing walk. '
In his unexpected presence
Bobby fancied a demolition of the
hope Graham and he had brought
back from the city. He couldn't
imagine guilt lurking behind that
serene manner.
"Where did you come from?
What were you up to last night?"
There was no accounting tor
Parades' daring, he told himself,
no accounting for his easy gesture
now as he drew again at his cigaret
and tossed it in the fireplace.
These gentlemen, he said, have
been asking just that question. I'm
honoured. I had no idea my move
ments were of such interest. I've
told them that I took a stroll. The
night was over. There was no
point in going to bed, and all day
I had been without exercise."
"Yet," Graham said harshly, "you
have had practically no sleep since
you came here."'
Parades nodded.
"Very distressing, isn't it?"
"Mavbe." Rawlins sneered, "you'll
tell us why you went on tiptoe, and
I suppose vou didn t hear a woman
crying in the woods?"
That s just it, rarades answer
ed. "I did hear something like that,
and it occurred to me to follow such
a. curious sound. So I went on tip
toe, as you call it."
Why" Kobinson exclaimed
angrily, "you walked in the lake to
hide your tracks!"
Parades snnledr i
"It was very dark. That was
chance. Quite silly of me. My feet
got wet." '
I gr. her, Kawlins said, it was
chance that took you to the de
serted house."
Paredes shook his head.
"Don't you think I was as much
puzzled as the rest by, that strange,
disappearing light? It was as good
a place to walk as any."
"Where have you been since t
Graham asked.
When I had got there I was
tired," Paredes answered. "Since
t wasn t far to the station 1 thought
I'd go on into Smithtown and have
bath and rest. But l assure you
I've trudged back from the station
lust now.
Suddenly he repeated the appar
ently absurd formula he had used
with Howells.
"You know the court seems full
of unfriendly things what the ig
norant would call ghosts. I'm Span
ish and I know." Aft" a moment
he added: "The woods, too. 1
shouldn't care to wander through
them too much after dark."
Robinson stared, but Rawlins
brushed the question aside.
"What hotel did you go to in
Smithtown?"
i'lt's called the 'New.' Nothing
could be farther from the fact."
"Shall I see if that's straight,
sir?"
The-district attorney agreed, and
Rawlins left the room. Taredes
laughed.
"How interesting 1 I'm under
suspicion. It would be something,
wouldn't it, to commit crimes with
the devilish ingenuity of these? No,
no, Mr. District Attorney, look to
the ghosts, They alone are suffi
ciently clever. But I might say,
since you take this attitude, that I
don't care to answer atiy more ques
tions until you discover something
that might give you the right to
ask them."
He lay back on the divan, languid
ly lighting another cigaret. Graham
beckoned Robinson. Bobby follow
ed them out, suspecting Graham's
purpose unwilling that action should
be taken tod hastily against the
Panamanian; for even now guilty
knowledge seemed incompatible
with Paredes' .polished reserve.
When he joined the others, indeed,
Graham with ar? aggressive air was
demanding the district attorney's
intentions.
"If he could elude you so easily
last night, it's common sense to!
put him where you can find him in
case of need. He's given you ex
cuse enough."
"The man's got me guessing,"
Robinson mused; "but there are
other elements." .
"What's happened since we left?"
Graham asked quickly. "Have you
got any trace of Howells' evidence?"
Robinson smiled enigmatically,
but his failure was apparent.
"I'm like Howells," he said. "I'd
risk nearly anything myself td learn
how the room was entered, how the
crimes were committed, how those
poor devils were made to alter their
positions." s '
"So," Bobby said, "you had my
rooms in New York searched. You
had me followed today. It's ridicu
lous." Robinson ignored him. He step
ped to the front door, opened . it,
.and looked around the court.
"What did the sphinx mean about
ghosts in the court?" (
They walked out, gazing helpless
ly at the trampled grass about the
fountain, at the melancholy walls,
at the partly opened window of the
room pf mystery.
"He knows something," Robinson
mused. "Maybe you're right, Mr.
Graham, but I wonder it I oughtn't
to go farther and take you all."
Graham smiled uncomfortably,
but Bobby knew why the official
failed to follow that radical course.
Like Howells, he hesitated to re-"
move from the Cedars the person
most likely to solve its mystery.
As long as a chance remained that
Howells had been right about Bobby
he would give Silas - Blackburn's
grandson his hea l, merely making
sure, as he had dune this morning,
that there should be no escape. He
glanced up.
"I wonder if.our foreigner's laugh
ing at me now."
Graham made a movement toward
the door.
"We might," he said significantly.
uiiu Him uui witnout aisturoing
him."
Robinson nodded and led the way
silently back to the house. Such a
method was repugnant to Bobby,
and he followed at a distance. Then
he saw from the movements of the
two men ahead that the library had
again offered the unexpected, and
he entered. Paredes was no longer
in the room. Bobby was about to
speak, but Robinson shook his head
angrily, raising his hand in a ges
ture of warning. All three strained
forward, listening, and Bobby caught
the sound that had arrested the
others a"" stealthy scraping that
would have been inaudible except
through such a brooding silence as
pervaded the old house.
Bobbys interest Quickened at this
I confirmation of Graham's story.
There was a projection of cold fear,
moreover, in its sly allusion. It gave
to his memory of Paredes, with his
tall, graceful figure, his lack of emo
tion, his inscrutable eyes, and his
pointed beard, xa suggestion nearly
satanic. For the stealthy scraping
had come from behind the closed
door of the private staircase. How
ells had gone up that staircase. None
of them could forget for a moment
that it led to the private hall out
side the room in which the mur
ders had been committed.
It occurred to Bobby that the
triumph Graham's face expressed
was out of keeping with the man.
It disturbed him nearly as thorough
ly as Paredes' stealthy presence in
that place.
"We've got him," Graham whis
pered. Robinson's bulky figure moved
cautiously toward the door. He
grasped the knob, swung the doof
open and stepped back, smiling his
satisfaction.
Half way down the staircase
Paredes leaned against the wall,
one foot raised and outstretched, as
though an infinitely quiet descent
had been interrupted. The exposure
had been too quick for his habit.
His face failed to hide its discom
fiture. His laugh rang false.
"Hello!" ,
"I'm afraid we've caught you,
Paredes," Graham said, and the
triumph blazed now in his voice.
What Paredes did then was more
startling, more out of key than any
of his recent actions. He came
precipitately down. His eyes were
dangerous. As Bobby watched the
face whose quiet had at last been
tempestuously destroyed, he felt
that the man was capable of any
thing under sufficient provocation.
"Got me for what?" he snarled.
"Tell us why you were sneaking
up there. In connection with your
little excursion before dawn it sug
gests a guilty knowledge."
Paredes straightened. He shrug
ged his shoulders. With an ad
mirable effort of the will he smooth
ed the rage from his face, but for
Bobby the satanic suggestion linger
ed. "Why do you suppose I'm here?"
he said in a restrained voice that
scarcely rose above a whisper. "To
help Bobby. I was simply looking
around for Bobby's sake."
That angered Bobby. He wanted
to cry out against the supposed
friend who had at last shown his
teeth.
"That," Graham laughed, "is why
you sneaked, why you didn't make
any noise, why you lost your tem
per when we caught you at it? What
about it, Mr. District Attorney?"
Robinson stepped forward.
"Nothing else to do, Mr. Graham.
He's too slippery. I'll put him in a
safe place."
"You mean," Paredes cried "that
you'll arrest me?"
"You've guessed it. I'll lock you
up as a material witness."
Paredes swung on Bobby.
"You'll permit this, Bobby? You'll
forget that I am a guest in your
house?"
Bobby flushed.
"Whv have you stayed? What
were you doing up there?" Answer
those questions, leu me wnat you
want."
Paredes turned away. He took a
cigaret from his pocket and lighted
it. His lingers were not steady:
For the first time, it became evident
to Bobby, Paredes was afraid. Raw.
lins came back from the telephone.
He took in the tableau, i
"What's the rumpus?"
"Run this man to Smithtown,"
Robinson directed. "Lock him up,
and tell the judge, when he's ar
raigned in the morning, that I want
him held as a-material witness."-'
"He was at the kotel in Smith
town all right," Rawlins said.
He tapped Parades' arm.
"You coming on this little joy
ride like a lamb or a lion?v Say.
you'll find 'the jail about as com
fortable as the New Hotel."
Paredes smiled. ' The evil and
dangerous light died in his eyes. He
became all at once easy and imper
vious again.
, "Like a lamb. How else?"
' 'I'm sorrv. Carlos," Bobby mut
tered".; "If you'd only say something 1
If youd only explain your move
ments! If you'd only. really help!"
Again Paredes shrugged his
shoulders.
"Handcuffs?" he asked Rawlins.
' Rawlins ran his hands deftly over
the Panamanian's clothing.
"No armed neutrality for me," he
grinned. "All right. We'll forget
the bracelets since you haven't a
-Puffing at his cigaret, Paredes got
lis coat and hat and followed the
detective from the house.
Robinson and Graham climbed the
private staircase to commerce an
other systematic search of the hall,
to discover, if they could, the motive
for Paredes' stealthy presence there.
Bobby accepted greedily this op
portunity to find Katherine, to learn
from her, undisturbed, what had hap
pened in the house that morning,
the meaning, perhaps, of her des
paii ingj gesture. When, in response
to his knock, she opened her door
and stepped into the corridor he
guessed her despair had been an ex
pression of the increased strain, 61
her helplessness in face of Robin
sou's harsh determination.
"He Questioned me for an hour."
she said, "principally about the heel
mark in-, the court They cling to
that, because I don't think they've
found anything new at the lake."
"Vou don't know anything about
it, do you, Katherine? You weren't
there? You didn't do that for me?"
"I wasn't there, Bobby. I honest
ly don't know any more about it
than you do." -
"Carlos was in the court," he
mused. "Did you know they'd taken
him? We found him creeping down
the private stairway."
There was a hard quality about
her gratitude.
"I am glad, Bobby. The man
makes me shudder, and all morning
they seemed more interested in you
than in him. They've rummaged
eery room even mine."
She laughed feverishly.
"That's why I've been so upset
They seemed "
She broke off. She picked at her
handkerchief. After a moment she
looked him frankly in the eyes and
continued: "They seemed aim-
as doubtful of me as of you." ,
He recalled Paredes suspicion of
the girl. '
It s nonsense. Katherine. And
I'm to blame for that, too."
she put her finger to her hps. Her
smile was wistful.
Hush! You mustn t blame your
self. You mustn't think of that."
Again her solicitude, their isola
tion jn a darkened place, tempted
him, aroused impulses nearly irre
sistible. Her slender fipture, the
pretty face, grown familiar and more
desirable through all these years,
swept him to a harsher revolt than
he had conquered in the library.
In the face of Graham, in spite of
his own intolerable position he knew
he couldn't fight that truth eternally.
She must have noticed his struggle
without grasping its cause, for she
touched his hand, and the wistful
ne.s of her expression increased.
1 wish you wouldn t think of me.
Bobby. It's you we must all think
of."
He accepted with a cold dismay
the sisterly anxiety of her attitude.
It made his renunciation easier. He
walked away.
Why do you go? she called after
him.
He gestured vaguely without
turning.
He didn't see her again until din
ner time. She was as silent then as
she had been the night before when
Howells had sat with them, his
moroseness veiling a sharp interest
in the plan that was to lead to his
death. Robinson's mood was very
different. He talked a great deal,
making no effort to hide his irrita
tion. His failure to find any clue in
the private staircase after Paredes'
arrest had clearly stimulated his in
terest in Bobby. The sharp little
eyes, surrounded by ptify flesh, held j
a threat for him. Bobby was glad
when the meal ended. 1
Howells' body was' taken away
that night. It was a relief for all
of them to know that the old room
was empty again.
"I daresay you won't sleep there,"
Graham said to Robinson.
Robinson glanced at Bobby.
"Not as things stand," he an
swered. "The library lounge is
plenty good enough for me tonight."
Graham went upstairs with Bob
by. There was no question about
his purpose. He wouldn't repeat
last nighfs mistake.
"At least," he said, when the door
was closed behind them, "I can see
if you do get up and wander about
in your sleep. Ifd bet a good deal
that you won't."
"If I did it would be an indica
tion?" "Granted it's your custom, wjjat
is there to tempt you tonight?"
Bobby answered, half jesting:
"You ve not forgotten Robinson
on the library sofa. ' The man isn't
exactly working for me. Tonight
he i seems almost as unfriendly a's
Howells was."
He yawned.
"I ought to sleep now if ever. I've
seldom-Zheen so tired. Two such
nights. ,
He hesitated.
"But I am glad you're here, Hart
ley. I csngo to sleep with a more
comfortable feeling.''
"Don't worry," Graham , said.!
"You'll sleep quietly enough, and
we'll all be better for a good rest."
For only a little while they talked
of the mystery.' While Graham re
gretted his failure to find any trace
of Maria, their voices dwindled
sleepily. Bobby recalled 'his last
thought before losing imself last
night. He tried to force from 'his
mind now the threat in Robinson's
eyes. He told himself again and
again that the man wasn't actually
unfriendly. Then the blacknefes en
circled him. "'He sle.pt.
Almost at once, it seemed to him,
he was fighting away, demanding
drowsily: , ,
"What's the matter? Leave me
alone." '- ;
He heard Graham's voice, unnat
uraUy subdued and anxious.
"What are you doing, Bobby?"
Then Bobby knew he was no
longer in his bed, that he stood in
stead in a cold place; and the mean
ing of his position came with a rush
of sick terror.
"Get hold of yourself," Graham
said. "Come back."
Bobby opened his eyes. He was
in the upper hall at the head of the
stairs. Unconsciously he had been
about to creep quietly down,, per
haps to the library. Graham bad
awakened him. It seemed to offer

to give outline to a monstrous fa
miliar that drowned his real self in
the black pit while it conducted his
body to the commission of unspeak
able crimes. , x
He lurched into the bedroom and
sat shivering on the bed. Graham
entered and quietly closed the door.
"What time is it?" Bobby asked
hoarsely.
"Half-past two. I don't think
Robinson was aroused."
The damp moon gave an ominous
unreality to the room.
"What did I do?" Bobby whisp
ered. "Got softly out of bed and went"
to the hall. It was uncanny. You
were like an automaton. I didn't
wake you at once. You see, I I
thought you might go to the old
room."
Bobby shook again. He drew a
blanket about his shoulders.
"And you believed I'd show the
way in and out, but the room was
empty, so I was going downstairs

He shuddered.
"Good God Then it's all true. I
did it for the money. I put How

Graham turned away.
"Don't ask me to say anything to

huskily, "for after this I won't dare,

UNIONS PUTS
SCHOOL CASE TO
LEGAL OFFICER
Attorney General Says County
Superintendent Must Be
Qualified for Office at
Primary and Election.
State Superintendent W. H. Clem
muils has given out the following
statement regarding tenure 'of office
of a county superintendent, about
whose legal qualification there was
dubt at time of primary or election.
The question is put whether this
has any bearing on the case of
Mable Johnson, elected superinten
dent of Douglas county. She quali
fied between the time of the primary
anjl election by obtaining a first
grade certificate. ,
Mr. Clemmons statement follows:
"A matter of public interest' has
come up in the state relative to
county superintendents elected to
office who wye not at the time of
the election eligible to hold that of
fice, that is, they did not hold a
first grade county certificate at the
time of election.
"The law says that anyone hold
ing the office of county superintend
ent must have at least a first grade
county certificate in force in the
state of Nebraska at the time of
his election.
"To better inform myself on the
matter, I submitted this question to
the attorney general:
'What are th legal , steps that
must be taken to prevent a person
who does not hold a first grade
county certificate at the time of his
election from assuming the office of
county superintenedent?" i
"In his reply, he pointed out very
clearly that, if a person was elected
to the office of county superinten
dent without being eligible, that is,
no holding a first grade county cer
tificate, there was no election of
county superintendent and that the
present incumbent, being duly qual
ified, could take the oath of office,
give a bond and hold over until his
successor is duly elected and duly
qualified. i
"We have one instance, at least,
where the candidate was nominated
a.' the primaries and the matter was
taken into court. The court 'held
that the name of such person could
not be placed on the ballot without
being eligible that is, to say. he
would have to hold a first grade
county certificate at the time his
name appeared on the ballot. This
includes both primary and general
elections."

Plan Supported by I
.Ex-Premier Asquitrr
London, Dec. .8. Herbert' H. As
quith, the former prime minister, j
speaking at Rochdale, Lancasnire,;
ranged himself alongside those who:,
have declared that the men respons-;
ible for the war and the atrocities
shall receive adequate punishment.
"We ought toinsist that justice
be done," said MrAsquith, uandt
that not only the forms, but the
spirit of justice the meting out to'
the wrong-doer of his due, not less,
and not more should be scrupulous
ly observed." 1 - Z J
Referring to the significance-ot
the visit of President Wilson to
Europe, Mr. Asquith said that f,r
permanent purposes ne wono. w
a new one. These purposes, he con
tended, would not only not have
been achieved, but there would have
been no advance toward theh";'
achievement, unless before the presi-8
dent returned a league of nations J
had begun to be translated fromj
formula into fact. - t
In his judgment, the best security
against the dangers which beset the,,
coming conference was the mainte-
nance in its fullest and freest senses
of real understanding between the
allies and the United States. ;
