CHAPTER XII
SYNOPSIS
Released, from prison after serving
fifteen years for a murder' 'he didn't
commit, Mark Grant goes to the of-
fice of a lawyer named Fosdick to
collect a legacy left to him while he
was in prison. When Fosdick tells hint
he will have to wait, Mark accepts, an
invitation to a party to help Teddy
Bank, win a bet with Archie Landon,
Although IlIark tells them his real.
name, Archie introduces hint' as "Ste-
wart Byrom." At the party Mark
meets Burleson, the man who sent
him to prison, and Burleson's niece,
Pamela Rodney. Burleson doesnot re-
cognize him, and Mark decides not to
reveal his .identity to Pam .until Ise
finds the real murderer. When- Teddy
Banks learns Mark's identity from
Fosdick he tells Archie, Landon, jeal-
ous of Mark's attentions to Pam

Mark is there telling Pam about the
Wager and his prison term. 73ttrleson
recognizes Mark and realizes that he
understands the significance of a jade
god he has in his possession. In a fuay
he _smashes it. Mark tells Pam that
since Burleson has the jade gcd, he
must have been with his uncle after
Mark left him. His testimony would
prove that the murdered man' was
alive when Mark left him. After Mark
leaves, Pain has a talk with Burleson.
She tells him that she believes any
man who would let another take
punishment for hint deserves to die,
Fosdick went to Burleson's office
the next day in a ram puzzle. He
had been called up at home the night
before and- told to find Mark Grant
and tell him to meet hint there. Aware
of his own silence about Grant, Fos-
dick liad a bad quarter of an hour,
Of course Banks •had told! The little
cad had run bleating like a sheep. But,
even so, he saw no reason to sum-
mon Mark and himself to a bar of
justice -, Burleson's office; in this
ease Mark was free) Burleson could
do nothing against him now, at least
nothing that Fosdick could imagine.
Then ,ho remembered the rich man's
suggestion to help: Was he going to
carry that oast? Fosdick grinned a

• "The boy was guilty; he's been
punished—what's the use of making a
uss over Banks and the wager now?
Unless—" he thought of Pamela Rod-
ey and suffered a twinge .of con
cieuce.
Burleson met him cahnly enough
Sit down," he said laconically, awl
then: "Ypu got Grant, you say? Well,
he's late."
Fosdick grinned. "He didn't want
to pine."

feWconmei`, and no one Spoke until
Mark broke the silence that seemed,. to
him soaked through by their cool
examination of him. "Think I'in a
jail,birdl" he thought hotly. Them
tartly, to Burleson.
"You sent for 5ne."
Burleson nodded. "Sit down," he
said in a voice that struck Fosdick
at once as singular; he looked around
at,; him sharply. '
:"Thank you; I'll stand. I'm going
out of town almost at once,". Mark
retorted shortly. Then his eye fell on
the broken jade head on the desk
and the blood leaped into his face,
"Is it about that?" he asked quickly,
"Yes," Burleson replied quickly;
"you're right about it; I could have
cleared.you; your uncle gave that to
me after you'd left him."
Mark's face hardened. "I was sure
of it! You'll state that now, Mr.\Bur-
leson?"
Burleson smiled oddly "`That's why
I sent for you. I can do more than
that,"—he paused an instant, star-
ing in front •of him—then he went
on coldly: "your, uncle gave it to .me.
After that we quarreled. You know the
things, Grant Barton said when he was
angry? He said too many of then;
I lost my temper and flung the jade
igot in his face. It struck his •tempie
and (tilled him instantly."
, "Good God!" Posdick's violent sur-
prise made him collapse in his chair,
but neither Mark nor Burleson flinch-
ed,
; "I always felt•you knew something,"
:Mark said bitterly; "and you let me
suffer!"
"I let things go!" Burleson drum-
med on the arms of his chair with
nervous fingers. "The whole thing
happened in a minute; I didn't expect
to hit him. To my utter amazement
he went down like lead."
i Fosdick rallied his power now, he
sat up. "Why, in God's name didn't
you tell it at once? it was unpre-
meditated—in a quarrel!"
Burleson nodded coldly. "Granted
But a man doesn't think clearly in
such a 'case at once. I was horror
stricken, naturally; was going to call
a doctor, but I felt of him—he was
stone, dead! It was the most amazing
thing; it knocked me out." He leaned
back in his chair, passing his hand
quickly over his face.
There Was a moment's pause; in it
both heard Mark's hard ,drawn breath.
"I picked up the jade god and put
it in my pocket; God knows why! I've
never got rid of it since; it's been

leson turned to Mark "You were a
boy; there wasn't evidence enough to
hang you-- my wife and son were
alive; a scandal like my trial would
have killed her—well, you knew the
end; I yielded to temptation; I was
silent"

Burleson nodded. "Very likely!" !
Then he pushed a_ broken, green jade
head, bearded and saturnine, toward
thee lawyer. "Beep that' Fosdick; you.'1l
need it."
Fosdick picked it up and looked i
over curiously; he was beginning • to
think that his friend's mind was
affected. "Health's bad enough," me
thought; "got water on the brain, I'll
bet a dollar!" But he put the jade
god's head down with a gingerly
touch,
"I remember. Used to squat on
your table. How did you break it?"
Burleson looked at it•bleakly; he
was gray as ashes today. "I smashed

"Yes," said Mark slowly; "I've

and you meant to let it go on—I'msure of that!" he' turned and stood
looking down at the old man,his youth
ti splendid now in the flush of its vin-
dication. "I'm innocent; you'll have to
make it good now." he cried, "but
why—do you admit it?"
Burleson smiled' bleakly; he was
like man who had escaped something—
put something away; he was detach-
ed, !card, unafraid; Fosdick stared at
him. "He's mad!" he thought,
"You can' call it conscience Bur-
leson said; answering Mark," "or
you can call it loss of nerve. I always
planned to do something about it; a
deathbed confession, I suppose, some-
thing, dramatic! Off and, on I've' asked

"It'll be ruin, Burleson! My God' wwill/didn't you speak then—or not at all?"
Fosdick cried.

"They can't send Inc -to the chair?"
""They won't it's second degree,"

"Humph!" Fosdick poked it with his

"Grant Barton gave it to hie."
"Eh?" The old lawyer straightened
p, suddenly his 'eyes 'met the hollow
eyes opposite and he felt a qualm of
dismay. What the deuce aid it mean?
Then he heard a door open and looked
around. A clerk was showing Mark
Grant into the sanctum. Fosdick stared
at the young man with a feeling that
he could not define; it certainly could
not be admiration for a criminal, or
even toleration, yet ho had to admit
—reluctantly -that Mark's very pre-
sence in the room was like a rush of
fresh :air in a choking atmosphere.
There was something in his size, in his
clean cut face and clear eyes, that
was reassuring; his, guilt never appear
ed upon the surface. Fosdick admit-
ted that; he looked' like a brave man
with a clear conscience. He seemed to
tower, too, and the lawyer thought -
that Burleson, by comparison, grew to
