"Yes;" answered Professor Bolton.
"In one -of his letters long ago Hayden
told Kendrick he was engaged to the
girl. • It Was the lase letter Kendrick
received from 'hive." -
There *as -a pause.
"The inimintant point now," the old
man went on "IS the identity of this
girl to whom yeti have made your
princely gift out of the goodness of
'your young heart. I prepose to speak
to the woman she has betrodueed as
her neother and elicit whatinformation
can."
Be crossed the floor: followed by Mt
Magee, and stood by the woman's
chair. She looked up; her eyes heavy
with sleep, her appearance more taw-
dry than ever in that faint light
"Madam," remarked the professor,, _
with the air of a judge trying a ease,
"your daughter has touight made her
escape from this place with a large
sum of -motley earnestly desired by the..
prosecuting attorney oflteutot county.
In the name of the law I command
you to tell me. her - destination and
what she proposes to do with that
package of greenbacks."
Tbe' woman- blinked stupidly in' the
dusk.
"She ain't my daughter," she replied,
and lir. Magee's heart leaped np. "I
can. tell you that much. I keep a
boarding house in Renton, a,nti Miss -
the girl you speak about -has been my
boarder for three years. She brought
me up here as a sort of chaperon,

for that Yet Yon don't get nothing

lila Magee could have embraced this
faded woman .for her news, tie look-
ed at his watch. •It was 12:20.

- Bland stood up. His face was whIee
and worried. Ills gay plumage no
longer set the tone for his mood.
"I think I'll go, pee," he announced,
looking hopefully at Magee.
"I'm no longer your jailer," Magee
said. "Professor, these gentlemen are
your 'witnesses. Do you wish to de-

"See here," cried the mayor angrily,

Good. night! Mom° on, boys."
Mr. Magee turned back frotn the
window to the dim interior of the ho-
tel office. He who had come to Bald-
pate! inn to court loneliness had never
felt so lonely in his life, for he had
lost sight. of her -in the great Renton
station of his imagination she had
slipped from his dreams -to ge where
he could not follow, even in thought.
Selecting a log of the hermit's cut-
ting from the stock beside the hearth,
Mr. Magee tossed It on the fire: There
followed a 'shower of sparks and a
flood of red light in the room. Through
this light Kendrick advanced to Ma -
gee's side, and the first of the Bald-
pate hermits saw that thelman's•face
was lined by care, that his eyes .were
' tired even under tbe new light in
them, that hal mouth was twisted bit-
terly.
' "Poor devil," thought Magee.
Kendrick drew up chairs for himself
and, Magee and they sat down. Be-
hind them the bulky Mrs.. Norton doz-

t"Mr. Magee," said Kendeck nervous-
ly, "you have become involved in an

matterbetween Hayden and myself."
"If you had father met- began Ma-

shttuld take his -life under the circum-
stancete feel- somehow that there
is a part of- the story -even I do not
know. But let that be."
He bowed his head in hiti hands.
"Ever gtinee I came into this room,"
he went on, "the eyea a a pompous
little man , have* been following me
about. They have constantly recalled
to me the nightmare of my life. You
have noticetteno doubt, the Pictures of

"I have," replied Magee. He gazed
curiously at the ,nearest of the por-
traittl. . How persistently this almost
'mythical starched man wove in and
out of the !melodrama at Baldpate inn.
"Well," continued Kendrick, "the ad-
nairal's eyes haunt me. Perhaps you'
know that he plays a game -a game of
toliteire. I have good reason to re-
melt:liter that game. It is a silly 'neon-.
sequential game. You would scarcely
believe that it once sent a ram to hell."'
'He stopped.
"I am begimiing in the middle of my

words were sincere.
"One day Hayden told me of a
chalice we might take which would
make us rich. It' was not altogether
within the law, but- it was tbe sort of
thing that other men were doing con-
stantly, and Hayden assured me that
as he had arranged matters it was ale
soiutely safe. My greet sin is ihat 1
agreed we sheuld take the chance, a
sin for whIch I have paid, Mr. Magee,
over and over."
Again he paused and gazed steadily
at the fire. Again Magee noted the
=Joey at his temples, tbe aftermath of
fevers In his cheeks.
"We took the chance," he went on.
"For a time everything ,went well.
Then one blustering March ,night Hay-
den came to me and told me we were
certain to be caught. We arranged to
meet the next night at the Argots club
and decide on what we should do.
"We Met in the library ef the club.
Hayden came in to mg from the rerd
room adjoining, where he had been
watching the admiral doddering over
his eternal game.. Just at that mo-
ment the admiral finished his gatne
and went out. We wee abone In tile
library.
"Hayden told me he had thought the
matter over carefully. There, was
'nothing to do but to -dear out of Ren-
ton forever. But why, he argued, '
should we both go?_ Why wreck two
lives? It would be far better, he told
we, for one to aSSnme the guilt of both
and go away. ,
"I agreed. to bis plan. Hayden led
' tbe way into the room where the ad-
nairal had been playing. We went up
to the table, over which the green
shaded light still burned. . On it lay
two decks of cards, face up. Hayden,
picked up the nearest deck and shuf-
fled it nervously. - His face -God, it
was like the snow out there On the
mountain!" •
"He held tint the deck," went on the
exile softly; "told me to draw. He said
if the card was black he'd. clear out.
'But if it's red, David,' he said, 'why -
you -got to go? I held my breath and
drew. It was a full inin.ute before
dared look at the card in my hand.
Then I turned it over, and it was -red

Suppose a man ever realizes all at once

Hayden. It was I who had to brace

hardly spoke at all at first, and then
suddenly he became h,orribly talkative.
