Howard Sastoii. conducted the trial
for the government.
The ca'-e was dismissed when
Federal Judge Woodrough sustained
l demurrer on the indictment that
;he remarks charged to have been
made by the prie-t were not sedi
tious. A similar demurrer was over
ruled during a prfiu trial uf the
:ase in federal court i:i Norfolk.
Basis of Charge.
- The remarks alleged in the indict
ment follow :
"I would like to have one of
these Omaha cathedral bonds in
..every home. I know that you
have been buying Liberty bonds
and have gone out the top many
' "ies. Von were compelled to buv
Liberty bonds in order to evade
mob law ami escape being placed
on the slacker list. 1 would like
' t i i
to see vou buv these bonus even
though thev arc not compulsory.
These fonds arc better than Lib
erty, bonds nnd 1 hey give you
more interest. Of course I know
that there nothing betterand
, bigger than I'nclc Sam, but 1
would rather deal with a poor man
,. and have him honest than deal
i" with a i ich man and have him .-.
scoundrel."
"I advise vou not to invest in
Liberty bonds. If you do buy
. them you can't tell what will hap
pen to this government and you
(may lose your money."
Friends Greet Priest.
A large group of friends of Father
Schneuttgeti, gathered in the lobby
of , the l'axton hotel, after the ter-
initiation of the trial and over-
helmed htm with congratulations.
While the informal reception was
in progress the prosecuting wit
nesses in the case, who formed a
nearby group, looked on as spec
ulators. Frank O'dara, former county at
torney of Cedar county, said, as the
members of the crowd shook the
hand3 of the priest in felicitation:
.- "The action of Judge Woodrough
Swill be received with acclaim by 99
per cent of the pe-plc of llartington.
" Father Schneuttgen was the victim
of a cabal of personal epemies who
have used this means of trying '.o
run him out of the parish.
"His congregation is composed of
members of Irish and German birth
or antecedents, all of whom arc in
tensely loyal to the country and
.who, had lie been guilty of sedition
would have been the first to accuse
ihim and call him to book."

CHAPTER XXXI
The Scar on the Neck
"That's what I meant," Taredcs
whispered.
Graham moved back.
"Good God!"
Robinson stared. The fear had
found him, too.
Doctor Groom touched Black
burn's shoulder tentatively.
"What's the matter with the back
fo your neck?"
Blackburn drew fearfully away.
He raised his hand and fumbled at
the top of his collar. He held his
fingers to the firelight.
"Why," he said blankly. "I been
bleeding back there."
To an extent the doctor controlled
himself.
"Sit down here, Silas Blackburn,"
he said. "I want to get the lamp
light on your head."
"I ain't badly hurt?" Blackburn
whined.
"I don't know," the doctor an
swered. "Heaven knows."
Blackburn sat down. The liglit
shone full on the stained collar and
the dark patch of hair at the base of
the brain. Doctor Groom examined
the wound minutely. He straight
ened. He spoke unsteadily:
"It is a healed wound. It was
made by something sharp."
Robinson thrust his hands in his
pockets.
"You're getting beyond tny
depths. Doctor. Bring him up to the
old bedroom. I want him to sec
that pillow."
But Blackburn cowered in his
chair.
"I won't go to that room again.
They don't want me there. I'll have
work started in the cemetery to
morrow." "Mr. Blackburn," Robinson said,
"the man we buried in the cemetery
today, the man these nieinhe-s of
your family identify as yourself.died
of just such a wound as the doctor
says has healed in your hea d."
Blackburn cowered farther in his
chair.
"You're making fun of me," he
whimpered. "You're trying to scare
an old man."
"No," Robinson said. "How was
that wound made?"
The croiched figure wagged its
head from side to side.
"I don't know. Nothing's touched
me there. I remember I had a head
ache when 1 woke up. Wry doesn't
Groom tell me why I slept so Ling?"
"I only know." Groom rumbled,
"that the wound I exomined upstairs
must have caused instant death."
Paredes w hispered to him. The
doctor nodded reluctantly.
"What do you mean?" Blackburn
cried. "You trying to tell me I
can't stay with you?"
He pointed to Paredes.
"That's what he said that I
might have to go back, but I never
heard of such a thing. I'm all right.
My neck doesn't hurt. I'm alive. I
tell you I'm alive. I'll teach you "
Rawline returned from the tele
phone. "His story's straight," he said in
his crisp manner. "I've been talking
to Waters himself. Says Mr. Black
burn turned up about 3:30. looking
queer and acting queer. Wouldn't
shake bauds, just as he says. He
went to the spare room and slept
practically all the time until this : f-
ternoon. No food. Waters couldn't
rouse him. Mr. Blackburn wouldn't
answer at all or else seemed half
asleep. He'd made up his mind to
call in a doctor this afternoon. Then
Mr. Blackburn seemed all right
again, and started home."
Robinson gazed at the fire.
Whats to be done now,
Rawlins asked.
"Find the answer if we
Rohinso nsaid.
Paredes spoke as softly as he had
done the other night while reciting
his sensitive reaction to the Cedars'
gloomy atmosphere. Only now his
voice wasn't groping.
"Call me a dreamer if you want,
Mr. District Attorney, but I have
given you the only answer. This
man's soul ,has dwelt in two plac
es." Robinson grinned.
"I'm going slow on callii.g any
body names, but I haven't forgotten
that there's been another crime in
this house. Howells was killed in
that room, too. T would like to be
lieve he could return as Mr. Black
burn has."
Blackburn looked up.
"What's that? Who's Howells?"
And as Robinson told him of the
second crime he sank back in his
chair again, whimpering from time
to time. His fear was harder to
watc.
"Might I suggest," Graham said,
"that Howells isn't out of the case
vet? It would be worth looking
"into."
"By all means," Robinson agreed.
Rawlins coughed apologetically.
1 "I asked them about that at the
i ofhice. Howells was taken to his
home in Boston today. The funer
al's to be tomorrow."
"Then," Robinson said, "we're
confined for the present to this end
of the case. The facts 1 have tell
me that tuo murders have been com
mitted in this house. It is still my
first duty to convict the guilty man."
Graham indicated the huddled,
frightened figure in the chair.
"You are going against the evi
dence of your own eyes."
"I shall do what I can." Robin
son said sternly. "We buried one of
those men this noon. His grandson,
his niece, and those who saw him
frequently, swear it was this living
being who has such a wound as the
one that caused the death of that
man. There is only one thing to
do sec who we buried.'1'
"The permits?" Graham suggested.
"I shall telephone the judge,"Rob
i n son answered, "and he can send
them out. but I shan't wait for
hours doing nothing. I am going to
the grave at once."
"A waste of time," Paredes mur
mured. "I don't understand," Silas Black
bum f liiued. "You say the doors
were locked. Then how could, any
body have got in that room fo be
murdered? How did I get out?"
Robinson turned on Paredes an
grily. "I'm not through with you ct.
Before I am I'll get what I want
from you."
He stormed away to the tele
phone. No one spoke. The doc
tor's rumpled bead was still bent
over the back of Silas Blackburn's
chair. The infused eyes didn't
waver from the crimson stain and
the healed wound, and Blackburn
remained huddled aboug the cush
ions, his shoulders twitching. Pare
des commenced gathering up his
cards. Kathcriiie watched him out
of expressionless eves. Graham
walked to her side. Rawlins, as al
ways phlegmatic, remained motion
less, waiting for bis superior.
Bobby threw off his recent numb
ness, lie realized the disturbing
parallel in the actions of his grand
father and himself. He h.td conic to
the Cedars unconsciously, perhaps
directed by an evil, external in
fluence, on the night of the first
murder. Now. it appeared, the man
he was accused of killing bad also
wandered under an unknown im
pulse that night. Was the same
subtle contr 1 responsible in both
cases? Was there at the Cedars a
force that dclied physical laws, mov
ing its inhabitants like puppets for
special aims of its own? Yet. he
recalled, there was something here
friendly to him. After the move
ment of Howells' body and the dis
appearance of the evidence, the re
turn of Silas Blackburn stripped
Robinson's threats of power and
seemed to place the solution beyond
the district attorney's trivial reach.

"And which way was the man

"At the top of the hill across the

Casey looked hard and long at the
hill.
"I don't see any signs of a wireless
outfit," he said. Neither did Peggy.
"What's a wireless outfit like?"
asked Blue Jay.
"The out-of-doors part is just a lot
of wires hung on a fran.e between
two towers," answered Peggy.
"Wires," mused Blue Jay. "Seems

Here was a new mystery. Peggy

coming back? No, it snuuded lioin
the other direction. Peggy raised
her pistol and pointrtl it toward an
opening in the bushes. Into that
opening came a Ccrinan, larger and
fiercer looking than the other.
His eyes lighted upon Peggy, and
he started hack in surprise.
"Make one move or a single
sound and I'll pull the trigger," said

INFLUENZA hST
NO TERROR FOR
STUARLHE SAYS
Had Fortified His System
Against Attack by Taking
Tanlac.
" Tanlac built me up f veil that
the 'Flu' didn't have a chance, so
far as I am concerned," said Will
Stuart, who lives at 128 Toppleton
Ave, Omaha, and i employed at
('. N. Dietz lumber company, a few
days ago.
"About (wo months ago," lie coiw
tinned, "my stomach got all out of
fix :uid st-iyed that way until I got
hold of a bottle- of Tanlac a few
weeks ago. I didn't have much ap
petite, and what I i i tie I did eat
would sour right away, and seemed
to form into a lump right in the pit
of my rtoniaeh. Then gas would
form and I would have severe paina
for hours afterward. I was con
stipa'ed all the time, and suffered
agonies with frequent spells of head
ache. I tried a good many different
kinds of medicine, but none of it
seemed to give me any relief until I
trrd Tmilae.
"Well, sir, when it comes to get
ting relief, Tar.lae is the medicine.
Why, it was tin' very tiling I needed,
for just .t; soon as 1 started on it
my nnpctil; improved, and in littln
or no time I could eat anything
wanted and as much as I wanted,
and never have the slightest sij;n of
indigestion or stomach trouble.
Those awful headaches passedoff,
and one by one all my ailments dis
appeared. 1 sleep a:; sound as I did
when I was a boy, and fret up in the
morning feeling chock full of en
enry, and iny day's work is a real
pleasure instead of a drajr.
"The Pin epidemic didn't worry
me a bit, for Tanlac had made me
ro strong and well that I was amply
able to resist it. I simply can't think
of anything good enough to say
about Tanlac, but I certainly will
praise it as lonp as I live."
