Vlh 1 THE BEE: ' OMAHA. SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1919. c 16 V THE ..if r f F t WOMAN. IN BLACK By EDMUND CLERIHEW BENTLEY Copyright, 1111, by the Century company. CHAPTER XIX. The Inexplicable Mr. Harris. "Bunner has told me what -he thinks," he said when Trent referred to the American' theory. "I don't find myself convinced by it, because it doesn't really explain some of (he oddest facts. Bo,I have lived long enough in the United States . to know that such a stroke of revenge, done in a secret, melodramatic way, is not an unlikely thing. It is quite a characteristic feature 'of certain section of the labor movement there. Ameicans have a taste and a talent for that sort of business. N Do you know 'Huckleberry Finn?'" 'Do I know my own name?" ex- - tlaimed Trent. ' "Well, I think the rttpst American thing in thk great' American epic is Tom Sawyer's elaboration of an extremely difficult ' and romantic scheme, taking days to carry out, fitr securing the escape of the nig ger Jim, .which could have been n ai;aged quite easily Tn 20 minutes. Ycu knw how fond they are of lodges and brotherhoods. You've heard of the Know-Nothing move ment in polities'! I dare say, and the Ku Klux Klan. Then look at Brig- hamYoung's penny-dreadful ty ranny in Utah, with real blood. The founders of the Mormon state were of the purest Yankee stock in Amer ica; and you know what they did. It's all part of the same mental ten dency. Americans make fun of it among themselves. For my part, I take it very seriously." ' "If can have a very hideous side to it, certainly," said Trent, "when vou get it in connection with crime. Or with vice. Or even mere luxury. But I have a sort of sneaking re spect for the determination to make life interesting and , lively iiK spite of civilisation. To return to the matter in hand, however; has it struck you as a possibility that Manderson's mind was affected to some extent by this menace that Banner believes in?' For instance, it was father an extraordinary thing to send you posting off like that in - tlie middle of the night." ' "About 10 o'clock, to be exact," replied Marlowe. "Though mind you, if he'd actually roused me out of my' bed at midnight I shouldn't have, been very much surprised. It all chimes in with what we've just been saying. Manderson wasn't mac in the least, hut he had a strong streak of the national taste for dramatic proceedings; ' he was rather fond of his well-earned repu tation for unexpected strokes and for going for his object with ruth ksa directness through every opos- - ing consideration. He had decided suddenly, that he wanted to have were from this man Harris " ."Who is Harris?" interpected Trent. "Nobody knows. Even Bunner never heard of him, and can't imagine whaj "the business in hand v.as. AH I Tcnow is that when I fcenf up to London last week to at tend to various things I booked a deck cabin, at Manderson's request, ; for a Mr. George Harris on the . boat that sailed on Monday. It seems that Manderson suddenly found he wanted news from Harris - v-lrich presumably was of a char acter too secret for the telegraph; . and there was no train that served; so I was sent off as you know." Trent looked round to make sure that they were not overheard, then freed the other gravely. There is one thing I may : tell you," he said quietly, "that"" I don't think you ' know. Martin the butler caught a 1 few words at the end of your con vwsation with Manderson in the orchard before you started with- hiin in the car. He heard him say: 'If Hari is there every moment is of importance.' Now, Mr. Marlowe, you Know my business here. I am 1 sent to make inquiries, and you mustn't take offense. I want to ask yea if, in the. face of that sentence, ' you will repeat that your know ' nothing of what the business was." - ' Marlowe shook his head. "I know , nojjiing, indeed. I'm not easily of fended, and your question is quite "fair; What passed during that con- vcrsation I have already told the detective. Manderson plainly said to me that he could not tell me what it was all about. He simply wanted me to find Harris, tell liim -v that he desired to know how mat ters stood, and bring back a letter : . or message from him. Harris, I was .further told, might not turn up. - If he did, 'every moment was of importance.' And 'now you know much as I do." : " "That talk took place before he tola his wife that you were taking hiin for a moonlight run. Why did he conceal your errand in that way, 1 Wonder." ' " The young man made a gesture of helplessness. "Why? I can guess, no better than you." "Why." muttered Trent as if to himself, gazing on the ground, "did he conceal it from Mrs. Mander--.sonr" He looked up at Marlowe. . "And from Martin," the other I amended coolly. "He was told the same thinjA With a sudden movement of his : head Trent seemed to dismiss the subject He drew from his breast pocket a letter case, and thence ex tracted two small leaves of clean, fresh paper. "Just look at these two slips, Mr. ". Marlowe," he said. "Did you ever sed them before? Have you any . idea where they come from?" he added, as Marlowe took one in each hand and examined them curiously. "They seem to have been cut with a knife or scissors from a small diary for this yearWrom the Octo . ber pages,". Marlowe observed, look " in g them over on both sides. "I see no writing of any kind "on them. Nobody here has any such diary- so far as I know. What about them?" "There may be nothing in - it," Trent said dubiously. "Any one in .- thd i house, of course, might have ' " sufli a -Niiary without your having ' see it. But I didn't much expect vim) would be able to identify the ; leaves in fact, I "Should have been ; ' surprised if you had." - He stopped . speaking as Mrs. Manderson came towards them. " "My uncle thinks we should be-go-; inn now she said. "I think I will walk on with Mr. Banner," Mr. Cupples said ' as he joined them. "There are certain : business- matters that must be dis V posed of ts soon as possible: Will yw tome on with these two gentle- men, Mabel? We will yait for'you before we reach the plate." Trent turned to her. "Mrs. Man derson will excuse me. I hone," he saia. "I really came up this morn' ing in order to look about me here for some indications I thought I might possibly find. I had not thought of attending the the court just yet." She looked at .him with eyes of perfect candor. fOf course,. Mr. Trent. Please do exactly as you wish. We are all relying upon you. If you will wait a few moments, Mr. Marlowe, I shall be ready." She entered the house Her uncle and the American had already strolled towards the gate. Trent looked into the eyes of his 'companion. "That is a wonderful woman," he said in a lowered voice. "You say so without knowing her," replied Marlowe in a similar tone. "She is more than that." Trent said nothing to this. He stared out over the fields towards the sea. In the silence a noise of hobnailed haste rose on the still air. A little distance down the road a boy appeared trotting towards them from the direction of the hotel. In his hand was the orange envelope, unmistakable afar off, of a telegram. Trent watched him with a carefully ! indifferent eye as he met and passed ! the two others. Then he turned to Maiiowe. "Apropos of nothing in particular, he said, were you at Oxford?" "I just wondered if I was right in my guess. It's one of the things you can very often tell about a man, isn't it?" "1 suppose so," Marlowe admit ted. "VVell, each of us is marked in one way or another, perhaps. I should have said you were an artist, if I hadn't known 'it." "Why? Does my hair want cut ting?" "Oh, no I It's only that you look at things and people as I've seen artists do, with an eye that moves steadily from detail to detail rather looking them over than look ing at them." , The boy came up panting. "Tele gram for you, sir," he said to Trent. "Just come, sir." Trent tore open the envelop with an apology, and his eyes lighted up so visibly as he read the slip that Marlowe's tired face softened in a smile. , "It must be good news," he mur mured half to himself. i Trent turned on him a glance in which nothing could be read. "Not exactly news," he said. "It only telis me that another little guess of mine was a good one." (Continued Tomorrow.) Stills In Homes Must Be Registered With Revenue Department '"A man may have a whisky still in-his home as long as he doesn't use it, but the law requires that he register it with the internal revenue department," declared United States Commissioner McLaughlin, as he bound Andrew Ernst, 4211 North Twenty-fourth street, over to the federal grand jury yesterday. Internal revenue Officers discov ered a still in the Ernst home Thurs day They also) found a small quantity of alcohol, which they in troduced against Ernst, as evidence of his alleged use of the still. Ernst said he bought .the still in Denver two years ago for $25. He admitted that he had ried to use it, but said it had never been a suc cess. The officers found it in the basement of his home, they said, but it was not "set up" for action at the time. Ernst declared that the alcohol the officers found was not made in the still, as they charged, but had been purchased to celebrate the Fourth of July. - Ernst's bond was fixed at $500.
