He then had ■Mrs. Tope and Bee go over to the Led ■pege home and stay with Miss Ledforge. When Eberly and Ledforge got In their canoe to go Ashing, Ledforge upset the anoe, knowing Eberly could not swim, tope and Bruce were In time to save Eberly's life. CHAPTER XIY u It was Tope who answered him. ‘Why yes, Mr. Ledforge,” he as •ented. “j guess It’s due to you.” He made careful Introductions, be ginning with Mat Cumberland, con tinuing clear around the circle, fln lsning with himself. He concluded calmly; “And Mr. Cumberland Is District Attorney, so he’ll want to arrest you for trying Just now to kill M r. Eberly." Joe Dane cried Incredulously: ‘‘Kill Eberly?" And Ledforge ejac ulated: “Kill Carl? Man, I was keeping him afloat when you got there.” “How about It, Mr. Eberly?” Tope asked. Eberly said steadily: “He over turned the canoe, swam away. Then ha looked back, expecting to see me drowning. He knew I couldn’t swim. Hut when he saw me still afloat —Mr. Tope had made me wear a life-pre server—he started back to finish me!” Ledforge, a bitter hurt in his tone, cried: “Nonsense! I came to help y°u, Carl!” “There was murder in his eyes,” Eberly insisted, not speaking di rectly to the other man at all. Ledforge whirled toward Tope, fu- riously. '‘’You put this idea into hi* head! Os course he’* shocked, doesn't know what he’* laying!” “He had a blackjack on a thong on hi* wrist,’’ said Eberly. Ledforge wore e strap watch on his left wrist. He held it up. "Carl must have seen this,” he Insisted; and he said sympathetically: "Gen tlemen, Mr. Eberly Is hysterical He has always been afraid of the water.” Tope, after a moment, spoke. “Well, you see, Mr. Ledforge,” he explained, almost apologetically, “there’s more to it than just this. The whole thing started with a man that left New York last Friday morning with Mr. Holdom, in Hol dom’s car, and with Holdom’s chauf feur driving. And the next time any body saw that man, he was dead under a bed in one of the cabins at a roadside camp up here.” The others—save young Adam Bruce—were watching Tope. Adam watched Ledforge. He saw the man’s pupils faintly dilate, saw his eyes become fixed in a concentrat ed attention. Tope paused, and in the instant of silence, Adam heard Mr. Eberly’s teeth chattering togeth er. And he had an impression of racing thoughts behind Ledforge’s outward calm. Then the man asked curtly: “What of It? What has that to do with me?” "Why, Miss Ledforge hasn’t seen him yet,” Tope explained. “But— the dead man looked mightily like you.” Ledforge cried, in quick horror: ‘‘Looked like me? Dead? Heavens, man, do you mean Christopher?” “Why, yes, dead,” Tope assented mildly. “I didn't know his name was Christopher, but he looked enough like you to be your twin.” Ledforge nodded gravely. “Gentle men,” he said then, “we can’t stand here. Carl Is freezing, and I'm cold myself. Suppose we go down to the house. I must hear the whole story,” Tope asked: “You know who the dead man was, then?” “Certainly,” Ledforge assented. His eyes clouded with grief. ' “You said he looked like my twin broth er. Well, gentlemen, he was." At the house, Whitlock and Beal by Tope’s direction stayed outside. Eberly disappeared with a serving man, to drink hot grog and find dry clothes. Ledforge asked for Miss Ledforge; and the servant report ed: “She had a turn, sir, and is lying down. Two ladies are with her.” “Good,” said Ledforge. "Don’t disturb her.” Tope suggested: “You’ll want to get dry, yourself." But Ledforge negatived this. "There’s a good fire on the hearth,” he pointed out. ‘‘l’ll be all right. Come in.” So they gathered in the big living room, richly paneled like a baronial hall; and Ledforge said: “Now then: My brother dead, and some one else too, you said?” “Mrs. Kell,” Tope told him. But Joe Dane could no longer en dure that Tope should dominate the scene. “And Kell too, Tope,” he cried. “Dead as a herring! And Holdom dying, so we’ll 'never get a word out of him.” Tope saw Ledforge’s eyes quicken in a sort of triumph, and the old man turned to Joe almost roughly. “Joe ” he said, “you’ve a real gift for talking out of turn. Mr. Led forge. here, can lie all he wants to now, knowing Kell and Holdom can’t contradict him.” “Lie?” Ledforge echoed. “Do I understand lam under some sort of cross-examination?” “Why, there are a lot of things we’d like to know,” Tope assented. “Yes. But you don’t have to say a word.” The other grinned. "Anything I say may be used against me, eh?” “Why, yes—may be, and probably will be.” Ledforge protested: “But I’ve nothing to conceal, no Intention of lying. Tell me what has happened. Perhaps I can explain whatever It 1* that—perplexes you?” Hl* tone was mildly derisive. “Well,” Tope suggested. "I’d like to hear first about this twin brother of yours. I’d figured out that must be the answer. But you tell u* about it, anyway.” Cumberland and Adam were el lent, strictly listening; even Joe did not for a while interrupt again. And .edforge spoke, a little sadly. “It’s hard to speak openly abeut l” he confessed. "We’ve kept it in absolute secret for so long that lienee Is a habit now.” And he said earnestly: “But you mow, every important man needs a louble. Did that ever occur to you? imagine how much easier it would ie for the President, for instance, she were twins. With one twin to ittend to the business of the office, he other to handle the social side, ittend banquets, make speeches, lisplay himself.” He continued: “But it was more, :hance than anything else that led is into It. Some years ago the heavy lemands upon my time and my mergy began to weary me. I had iome thing like a nervous collapse, ind I went away quietly to my boy lood home— a remote little town in Manitoba—for a vacation. “Christopher lived there. He was i doctor—surgeon and doctor, too, 11 small town practitioners must be; md he took me in hand, cured me. 3ut he reproached me for overwork ng; and he suggested that a man is busy as I ought to have a per sonal physician to watch over his lealth. I persuaded him to come back with me in that capacity. He luggested also that I ought to have * social secretary or an assistant, io whom I might delegate some less mportant activities; and the fact, which we discovered before we left some, that not even our Intimate triends could distinguish one of is from the other, led naturally to the arrangement which has contin jed till now.” He looked from one to another. “It was very simple,” he said “once we began. A little attention to such ie tails as clothes, haircuts, and so "Bat you know, every important man needs a double.” on. . . . Christopher, ever since, be sides taking care of my health, has lived the social side of my life, leav- I ing me free to attend to business without distraction.” Tope wagged his head. “I declare, , that’s a queer one,’’ he admitted. ! “I don’t suppose many people knew about this thing?” “Not a living soul,” Ledforge de- j clared confidently, “except my sis- j ter Alice —and even she can’t tell ; us apart, to this day.” “How about servaats, and all j that?” “It was simply a matter of never ( appearing anywhere together,” Led- j forge assured them. “One of us always stayed out of sight when the other was to be —visible. Os course, we used some simple disguises at times, to give the one who for the moment did not exist a little free dom of movement.” And he said suddenly: “But now it’s my turn to ask ques tions. Who told you the dead man, Christopher, looked like me?” “Mrs. Tope had seen you—or your brother—at a stockholders’ meeting once.” “Probably she saw Christopher," Ledforge suggested. “But tell me what happened? Where is Christo pher? How was he killed?” Tope said gravely: “Why— all right, Mr. Ledforge. I’ll tell you: I found your brother under a bed In a cabin called Faraway at a roadside camp called Dewain’s Mill, up above here. He was dead when I found him. “Ha had on an old sweater and a pair of overalls. His hands and feet were tied with wire. He was gagged and blindfolded with tape. His bands and feet end head were muffled in piece* es blanket. “He'd been alive when he wa* put there. He died of a ruptured appendix. “He’d been brought there in a coupe belonging to Holdom, by a man and a woman. I found theii tracks. Afterward the man killed the wore an—lt was Mrs. Kell—and left her In the car and ran the cat Into an old quarry up In the hills. We fousd the man’s tracks there.” Ledforge made an explosive ges ture. "Hideous!” he cried. “Incred ible!” “Pretty bad,” Tope assented; h* added Implacably: "And my notion Is that you did it, Ledforge.” Ledforge shook his head abstract edly. )Ie seemed not to resent thii accusation. "Wait a minute, please," THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS e said. “Os course, I know noth- 1 ng of what happened up here; but i can make a guess. Let me think ! > minute.” Tope nodded, and waited, and :almly filled and lighted his straight ilack pipe; at last Ledforge lifted! j lis head. “It’s part guess and part :ertainty,” he confessed. “But 1 j hink I see the answer.” The fire had burned low. “I'll take >ff this wet coat,” he remarked, and itood before them in flannel shirt, rest, khaki trousers and light woods ihoes with rubber soles; a spare, j {ray, small old man. “It was Holdom,” he began then. ‘I can see what was in his mind,' vhat he tried to do.” And he explained: "A week ago, i would have been as mystified as - rou, because I had always trusted doldom. But I know now that he was a thief and a rascal 1 learned i ast Monday that he had been using ! ny collateral to trade In an account inder my name, to sell my own itocks short. I have already report sd the matter to the Exchange au dioritles.” He continued, seeming to think aloud: “I can guess what Holdom lad in mind. A man named Vade, who lives at Dewain’s Mill, had writ ten me some kidnap threats; and I asked the Federal authorities to check up on him. Holdom knew about this, must have expected that tuspicion would fall on Vade.” He paused, but no one spoke. So ie went on: “Holdom did not know, you under stand, that there were two of us; Christopher and I. “Now gentlemen, Christopher was sick. Being a doctor, he of course tnew that he had a bad appendix; but he was devoted to me. For him to go to a New York hospital would lave been to risk the discovery of our duality. He was willing to take some risk to avoid that, so he de cided to come up to Holdom’s home here for the operation. Mrs. Kell had been a trained nurse. Dr. Na son would come from Boston to do the operation, In the rooms above Holdom’s garage. “Christopher himself, pretending to be me, made all these arrange ments with Holdom; so Holdom would naturally suppose that I was about to be Incapacitated for a week or ten days. Perhaps he thought I was likely to die. Perhaps he al ready intended my death. At any rate, before leaving New York —and trading in my name—he sold my stocks short.” He hesitated, then continued: “So they left New York on Friday morn ing, Christopher and Holdom, and Kell driving. I protested, but Chris topher assured me the drive would do him no harm. Before starting, he took a sedative in order to sleep, to escape the pain.” Tope prompted him. "And you say you can figure what happened?” “I can guess,” Ledforge agreed. “When Christopher fell asleep in the car —Kell wa* Holdem’s man, of course—they laid Christopher on the floor, and Holdom too got down out of sight, so no one saw them as Kell drove past the house to the garage. “Holdom was completely unscru pulous. He dressed Christopher in that old gray sweater and overalls, gagged him, swaddled his hands and feet and head in pieces of the dog blanket so that he could make no noise, and stuffed him into the rum ble of the coupe. “He sent Kell away with orders to meet him later at some agreed spot; then Holdom put on a pair of Kell’s shoes. Their prints would be easily recognized because of the heel-plates. He knew that when Christopher’s body was identified as me, Vade—because of his threat- . ening letters to me, and because he lived there at the Mill—would be at first suspected; but if Vade were exonerated and Kell’s footprints found, then Kell would be the next suspect. “So then Holdom and Mrs. Kell— she was his mistress—drove to De wain’s Mill, In the coupe, with Christopher hidden in the rumble.” He looked at them all, challenging ly. “Doesn’t that fit the facts?" he demanded. “Well, so far,” Tope agreed. “But —go on!” "They took a cabin for the night, and Holdom hid Christopher where you found him. But Mrs. Kell must have protested at the inhumanity of leaving him there alive, till Holdom, In rage or desperation, strangled her!” He hesitated, and th* color for, an instant left his cheeks as though : that word had shocked and fright ened him. “It’e sickening!” he ex claimed then, hurriedly. "But—aft er that, Holdom would go on to dis- j pose of the car, and of Mrs. Kell’s body, and meet Kell, and make Kell give him a rap on th* head and leave him to be found beside the road. As an alibi!” And he said In a low furious tone: “It is incredible; and yet something like that muat be the truth!” He finished and Joe Dane started to speak, but Adam touched his arm and hushed him. Tope rapped his pipe on his heel, chucked file ashes on the hearth. "We showed Kell the dead man,” ha remarked. “He said It wasn’t you!” “Kell would lie, of course. To save himself.” “Yes, I figured that,” Tope as sented; but he said then in a sort of irritation: “Shucks, Mr. Ledforge, all that’s too complicated for me. Holdom was in it, sure; but my idea has been right along, that what ever Holdom did, he did because you I told him to.” ”1?” Ledforge cried angrily "Why should I tell Holdom—” (Continued next week) Improved | SUNDAY i International II SCHOOL LESSON -> By HAROLD L.

A PEOPLE IN CONFUSION LESSON TEXT: Judges 1:7. 11. IS-SS. MEMORY SELECTION: Th# Lord la my helper, and I will not fear.—He brews 11:8. Confusion is a word well suited to describe the world today. With the end of the war we had hoped for peace and goodwill, and what have we? We may learn from the ex perience of Israel the reasons for such confusion. They, too, had come Into their land and should have had only peace and prosperity. Instead there were turmoil and disorder. Why? The success or failure of both na tions and Individuals Is ultimately determined by their attitude toward the law of God. He Is always right and true. The constant factor in a world order that swings wildly from one extreme to another is his law, which is perfect and eternal. God is no respecter of persons. Even Israel, his own chosen na tion, found that observing God’s law meant blessing, and failure to do so brought judgment and sorrow. No man is great and powerful enough to ignore this rule, and none is exempt from Its operation. I. The Cause—Forgetting God (w. 7. 11). The Lord had promised the land to them as they went In and pos sessed it by faith in him. He fully kept that promise in the measure that they believed him. They never did take the whole land, but that was because of their failure, not God’s. As the people of Israel took pos session of the land, they went for ward in the way of blessing as long as Joshua, and the elders who re membered God, kept them steady and true. We have here an excellent illustration of the power of a godly example. It is far stronger than we think. The fact that a nation has been highly privileged and has been ex alted to a place of power and honor will not save it in the day when God is forgotten. Israel no longer had God-fearing men to bring it back to the Lord, and so began its aw ful drifting. We Americans are rightly proud of our great land, its mighty re sources, its fine past and promising future. But what is the future to be? Oh, we say, the most glorious days are ahead! They may be, but only if we, like our forefathers who established this nation, recog nize God. If we do not, America will go the way of the forgotten em pires of centuries past, and that In spite of all Us past achievements and its present promise. It Is a significant thing that our business and national leaders often come from Christian homes, but It Is sad that they themselves are so frequently not Christians. Their lives are shaped by the teaching and Influence of godly parents, but what will their children do if they are not brought up in the fear and admonition of the Lord? 11. The Condition —National and Spiritual Confusion (vv. 16-19). The history of the period of the judges in Israel is incomplete, but what we have shows the awful con dition of the nation. Not only were they in separate tribes, but the peo ple as a whole were divided into three groups—north and south of Jerusalem, and east of the Jordan. The moral and spiritual decay were evident In their turning to the Immoral practices of Baal-worship. One would have thought that God would give up a people so set on sinning, but he did not. He provided deliverance for Israel. That gives us courage, for we know that he has not given us up, but has pro vided in Christ a sure deliverance, if America will turn to him. It Is interesting to note that God works through men. Some of these Judges were great men; others were Just ordinary men. But each in his ; appointed place, at the appointed time, was God’i man. Confusion, sin and disobedience cannot be tolerated Indefinitely. So j Israel stubbornly went on to in. The Conclusion —Judgment from God (vv. 20-23). God not only will not hold a back i sliding nation guiltless, but will ! bring judgment even If he has to turn over his people to a despoiling nation. He has instruments of in : dividual and national chastisement, and he is ready to use them, i Notice that wherever they went the Lord’s hand was against them. There is no place to flee from the i presence of God. Anyone who thinks he can do it should read Psalm 139: j 7-12. It can’t be done. That is a j comfort to the believer, but It Is ■ very disquieting to the unbeliever. They compromised with evil, and ! lost not only their testimony but j their very spiritual life. They for sook God and took into their friend- I ship the enemies of God, only to find that they were their own enemies. We are in danger now of compro mise with evil, both in our personal and in our national lives. As we do —and if we do—we may expect only disaster and judgment.

Our Short Sermon o The glowing, happy faces of lit tle children remind us of the joy that even the smallest, simplest pleasure brought us when we were their age. But as we ma ture we often lose this joyousness of spirit and feel that we have too many cares and responsibili ties to express happiness except on special occasions. This is a mis taken belief, for if the years bring added responsibilities, they also bring added wisdom and ap preciation of the beauty and hap piness that is all around us. The true source of joy is with in us and does not depend on out er conditions or other persons. By turning within each day for a re newed spirit of happiness we can turn dissatisfaction into content ment, drabness into beauty. As we let the joy of the Lord well up within us and find expression in our words and actions, we attract happy experiences. Let us begin each day by free ing our mind of thoughts of heav iness and disappointment. Let u keep our heart cheerful, gay, and happy in the expectation of good. Ye rejoice greatly with joy un -1 speakable.—l Pet. 1:8. I Red Cross work is never done. Professional And Business Cards A Professional or Business Cars cost you only $2-00 per month Send us yours.
