J7 AUTHOR
CHAPTER I.
Hilary Kingston had been shot
Old Hilary had been a familiar fig
ure In the village of Wofflngham for
years. The eccentricity of his gray '
derby hat, his beetling gray brows, his ,
always fresh gray gloves, his erect,
rather heavy old figure, singled him
oat from the mass of commuters that
thronged the city trains. The gray
derby ;was i part of,old.Hilary. Ex
cept on those rase occasions when he
attended service at Saint 'Jade's he,
was never seen without It
He lived on the hill above the vil-1
lage, with Ills daughter—had lived
there for ten years. The ball was
beautiful, bat old Hilary secelved no
visitors, returned no advances. Visit
ors thought this curious. The villagers,
prosperous .business men with .smart
wives, shrugged -their shoulders. The
man's house was his own. If he fouod
that ;fce i qoijld do without the town,
the town could, get along without him. i
There was no mystery about the
hall,-and little curiosity. Cars going
to tfte country dub passed under the
hrlck ,w,all of Its Italian garden." Their
occupfinfs sometimes caught a glimpse
. of l&inor Kingston there, reading la a
rose arbor, , wandering among her
peonies and 4rls In the spring, or cut
ting sprays of phlox in midsummer.
The men thought her rather lovely;
•tfie women, odd, with her blond hair
and dark eyes. The assistant rector
. of ifilalnt Jode's, newly come to the vil-1
lage, met her face to face on one of I
his long country walks, a month .or so 1
before old Hilary's death, and could not
forget her.
He,led the conversation to her that
night at a dinner.
"An exquisite face," he desqribed
her, "but sad, .almost tragically sad."
"Blond ?" The lady-en his right was
aiMrs. Bryant In honor of : sbe new
assistant reetor, who came of fine fam
ily and was a distinct acquisition to
the village, she wore the Bryant pear-j
shaped pearl. She spoke rather curt
ly. "I should not csll her exquisite—
but you probably met Elinor Kingston.
Her.sadness is a pose, I believe; she
has everything she .wants."
The assistant rector was yotyfg, but
very wise. So he spoke po more of
Elinor until the women h*d left the
table. Then he ventured again.
"Don't Join the army of those of,us
..who worship from afar," advised the
.youth who had moved up beside him.
"She's the loveliest thing in this part
of the country. But except.our,sainted I
, rector, no one,ever gets to put a foot
on the place. It's exclustveness to the
nth power, and then some. There's
a lot of talk, of course, or used to be.
Old Kingston brings his servants from
New York, and except an elderly
housekeeper, none of them speak Eng
lish. They used to say around here
that he was a refugee, but thafs sll
rot He's,a stingy old dotard, afraid
sojpe handsome youth like myself will
•Captivate the girl. That's all there Is
to It"
The assistant rector, whose name
was Ward, smiled perfunctorily. In
stead of the gleaming table, spread
.with flowers and candles, with the gay
colors of cordials and liqueurs, he was
seeing a girl standing at the turn of a
. country road and gating down into the
valley and the distant village with
somber eyes. . . .
Faith,-hop* and charity, and the
of these la faith. -Faith In our
selves, fslth in thqse around us, and
that subllmest faith of all which
trusts ,In soqietjbtyg , beyonA Jto ,sll
men Is gtyen fmoh faithet the begin
ning of life, snd jtomo keep It to the
end. But her* and there Is one who
has lost It Who cannot turn his eyes
up and say "Lord, Lord." Old Hilary
had not kept the faith.
1 Tears ago he had not been .evil. He
had gone from philosophy into unbe
lief, thst route which all must traveL
But unlike the many, be had not come
back.
He hsd started with socialism, but
socialism must be founded on the
Christ and him he scorned. So from
socialism bo had drifted to anarchy.
To rob the rich and.give to the poor,
at first Later on, to rob the rich, to
Incite seditions, to era tbe rebellious —
oil, it was comprehensive -enough, vast
ly wicked with that ntost terrible law
lessness of all, that believes Itself law.
To pit his wits against tbe world
and win—that had been old Hilary's
creed. "For tbe oppressed" bad been
. at first tbe slogan of tbe band be gath
ered around him. "Against tbe op
pressor" It became later on. Vastly
different tbe two. Most of human
charity and kindliness lay crushed
down snd trampled underfoot during
old Hilary's progress from Christ to
Antichrist
I The band had been gathered with
much care. Respectability, order, de
oorum—these spelled safety to old
Hilary's astute mind. Most of them
were younger sons of English landed
families, with a, sprinkling of other na
tionalities. Young Huff was an Aus
tralian, for Instance, tbe son of a
wealthy sheep-owner. Boroday tbe
Russlsn —Implicated In tbe bom|>>
throwing that destroysd tbe minister
of war—was s nobleman. Old Hilary
had got him out of Siberia during
those early days when be righted what,
to his crooked mind, were wrongs.
* There were twslvs In the bsnd at tbe
beginning, and for five years there
were no cbsnges. Then cams the kid
napping and holding for ransom of
Mackintosh the banker In lowa, and
the unexpected calling out of tbe state
militia. Tbe band had bidden Mack
intosh In a deserted mine and three of
the band went down in the shooting
that followed his discovery. In the
looting of Tiffany's vaults, which has
never been published, a Frenchman
named Dapnes was, killed; sod eulr
recently a tiKTllaff Burst ufter the
holding up of the car of the governor
of Delaware, and their car, overturn
ing. had crashed Jerrold, the mechanic
of the band and old Hilary's chauffeur.
One way and another, there were enly
five left: Talbot and Lethbrldge the
To Pit His Wits Against the World
and Win—That Had Been Old Hl
lsry*s Cresd.
Englishmen, Boroday, Huff and old
Hilary himself. And old Hilary's hour
was almost come.
Old Hilary lived well, as he might
His foreign servants were artists. He
liked good food, good wines, good
books. He even had a few pictures—
from the leading galleries of Europe.
He hung them In the house at Wofflng
ham, with a cynical smile.
"Safest place In the world," he said
to old Henrlette, who protested. "The
village has never even heard of them I"
And so in this atmosphere with
which he surrounded himself, of fine
living and wrong thinking, of atheism
raised almost to religion, of no law
and no Christ old Hilary had brought
up his daughter. He hud been proud
of her In his way; absolutely selfish,
too. She had had no other compan
ion. He taught her his unbelief, point
ing out the churchgoers, as they drove
together on Sunday mornings, as
slaves to a myth. Also, he taught her
to hate a lie, and to give alms. Early
In her life their drives together had
been punctured with questions.
"But if my mother Is dead, where Is
she?" asked Elinor on one of them.
Old Hilary had eyed her from under
eyebrows that were already gray.
"She lives In the memories of those
that knew and loved her."
"But I never knew her. Then for me
she doesn't live I But Mademoiselle —"
she checked herself. Suspicion had
been dawning In old Hilary's eyes.
"Death Is the end," he said tersely,
and quoted Darwin and Haeckel to
her. Bnt at the end of the drive he
Interviewed Mademoiselle, and sent
her flying to her chamber, where from
under the carpet beneath her bureau,
she got her rosary and wept over it
Elinor was twenty the year her fa
ther died, a slender girl, fond of flow
ers, rather a dreamer. Well educated,
too. Old Hilary had seen to that; she
knew Malato, Haeckel, Bakunln; spoke
French and Spanish—Hilary had
spent much time in Central America
helping the insurgents; It was he who
financed the insurrection In northern
Mexico—and wrote fluently the form
of shorthand that her father had de
vised ss a means of communication be
tween the leader of the band. A keen
eyed, wistful-mouthed slip of a girl,
shut off In the great house on the hill
above Woflihgham; living her life of
big theories and small duties, cal
loused to robbery snd violent deeds,
and viewing wistfully from her win
dows the little children in the road be
low.
CHAPTER 11.
Onee a year tbe association closed
Its books. During all of the June be
fore old Hilary's sudden death, Elinor
had been busy arranging figures, col
lecting data In the cryptic shorthand
She knew. Then, on the first of July,
Htlsry gave his annual dinner.
Tbe band, from twelve, was down to
five. Boroday. tbe Russian, glancing
around tbe table, shrugged his shoul
ders. It was the chance of the game
they played, and percentages would
be larger. Nevertheless there was a
weight of depression over them all,"
Elinor was at her father's right,
simply dressed. The dinners were nl
wsys a trial to her. She was palpitat
ingly anxious thst the papers before
old Hilary be In order and accurate.
They were her work. The deeper sig
nificance of tbe meeting she wss not
so much Ignorent of ns profoundly In
different to. If ber fsther did a thing,
it took on order, became a law.
There were present Talbot and Leth
brldge, tbe Englishmen $ Boroday,
whose rescue from Hlberi.i had made
him old Hilary's henchman; and
young Huff. Huff was the mechani
cian. He had been trained In the
Bleriot works; airplanes to wireless,
automobiles to automatic pistols, be
knew them—all makes, all grades. If
old Hilary was tbe brains. lluC was
the baads of tbe band.
He sat beside Elinor, and watched
her with worshiping eyes. Perhaps It
wss as well thst old Hilary was Intent
on his food and on the business In
hand.
The routine of tbe annual dinner
eeld a varied. Five of them then,
that last dinner around the table. In
evening cloth**, wall set no. snare.
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 26, L 917
three of them young, all temperate,
honorable about women—as polished,
as harmless In appearance, as death
dealing, as the gleaming projectile of
a twelve-Inch gun I
First old Hilary went over the books.
It might have been the board meeting
of some respectable bank. He stood
at his end of the table, Snd the light
from the chandelier fell full on him.
"I have to report, gentlemen," he
would say, "a fairly successful year."
This Is where It differed from a bank.
The association had had no bad years.
"While our expenses hnve been heavy,
returns have been correspondingly so."
And so on, careful lines of figures, out
lays and returns, to the end. For old
Hilary was secretary and treasurer as
well ns president.
This time, when he hnd reached the
end of what was to be his last report,
he paused and cleared his throat
"Unfortunately, that Is not all, gen
tlemen. 'Nothing can we call our
own but death.' And It Is my sad
duty to report this last year, the loss
of three of our number. A calamitous
year, gentlemen."
He might have been a trustee, la
menting the loss of valued supporters
to a hospital 1
Afterward, In the library, with El
inor embroidering by the fire, they
cashed In. They dealt only In cash.
Securities were dangerous. Once or
twice Boroday had successfully nego
tiated with a fence In Paris, but al
ways under old Hilary's protest.
The routine never varied. Elinor
unlocked the door to a winding stair
case, which led to a basement room
where the steel vault stood In Its ce
ment walls. The five went down, re
turning shortly with the cash-boxes.
The money - 'wus divided on the library
table. It went by percentages. Hil
ary drew 20 that last year, each of
the others 10—a total of 60 per cent
The 40 per cent remaining was di
vided, or sent as a whole, according
to the sense of the meeting. Berlin
got It all one year, for instance, to
Boroday's disgust. Russia generally
received a large proportion. The Chi
nese revolution; tile defense of Berk
hardt who killed Ecker the pork
packer; a shipment of guns and am
munition to Central America—thus It
went
Although they preferred only money,
now and then the loot Included Jewels.
By common consent, such gems,
stripped of their settings, were put
aside for Elinor, They meant nothing
to her. Had anyone told her that for
several years her share had been
grenter In actual value than all the
money that hud fallen to her father
she would not have believed It. . . .
Four days or so after the annual
meeting, the rector of Saint Jude's was
always asked to dinner. And although
the reverend gentleman would under
normal circumstances have been fish
ing In Canada, he never went until this
function was over. For old Hilary, de
testing his creed, respected the man.
A certain percentage, then, of old Hil
ary's share went over the library ta
ble, after the dinner, to the rector.
"Use it where It will do the most
good," he would suy.
"The church organ—"
"Not a cent to tho church organ.
Buy the youngsters a playground, or
—build a lylng-ln ward In tho hos
pital."
Elinor's mother had died in child
birth.
The last check hod been unusually
generous. The rector, who hud been
Htnoklng one of old Hilary's choice
cigars, put It down and faced his host
resolutely. It took courage.
"Mr. Kingston," he said, "the church
needs men like you. Why be a Chris
tian In the spirit and—avoid the let
ter?"
"Tut" Old Hilary rose and looked
down at him. "I am like all gamblers.
This annuul check to your poor Is the
sop I throw to luck. That's all, sir."
And his tone closed the discussion.
Tho word "gambler" worried the rec
tor. He thought over It on his way
down the hjll to the rectory. But hi*
poor were very poor, ne cashed the
check the next day. , . .
Elinor was In the library that sunny
August day when they brought old
Hilary to her. She had never seen
death before, except on the streets of
Mexico, and for a good many years he
had been all she had —since her last
governess, In fact, had been discovered
secreting the rosary and had been
word-scourged from the house In tears.
She fainted, and wrinkled Henrlette
laid her on a couch.
Boroday, the Russian, had brought
the body home, and now he stood, look
ing down at Elinor and stroking his
English-cut beard.
"He expected It. Henrlette," he said.
"He thought It would have come soon
er, In the Parker matter. I wonder —"
He glanced through the open door to
the billiard room, where old Hilary's
body lsy on the table. He was minded,
was Boroday. to wonder tnuny tilings—
whether, after sll, old Hilary's daunt
less spirit had gone out like a lauip,
or If—
This white end carven thing In the
next room, with stiffening hands and
the gray derby at Its feet, rfurely there
was no mystery about It This was
not old Hilary; that was all. Hut
where, then, was old Hilary? The Kus
slsn, who had been raised within the
pale and on an snclent faith, snd who
had now lost his best friend, felt sll
the bitterness of his unbelief.
Elinor stirred.
"He .will havo to be burled," sold
Henrlette. "The news has gone
through the town. Tbe ssslstant rector
of the church has telephoned, and Is
on his way here now. What am I to
dor
"Let them bury him as they will,"
sold Borodny. "What does It matter?
he would himself have seen the humor
of It"
Hllsry Kingston had been shot dur
ing the daylight robbery of the Agra
rian bank messenger. He was shot as
an Innocent bystander, and was re
ferred to by the press as philanthropist
sqd martyr. So much for years of cau
tion snd the annual gift to Balnt
Jude's.
As a matter of fact the Agrarian af
fair was calamitous In several ways. It
bore too close a resemblance to a Bt.
Louis Ibatter of several years bsck, in
which Boroday haa come under sus
picion. _ ,|
"Let Them Bury Him as Thsy Will,"
Said Boroday.
On n Tuesday morning, the cash be
ing more than the bank cared to have
about, two hundred and ten thousand
dollars was sent to the clearing house.
Two clerks from the hank accompanied
the messenger, who weut by taxlcab.
There are two direct routes to the
clearing house: one along one of the
great avenues, tbe other through the
newspaper district Here, at ten-thirty
In the morning, things are rather quiet,
and except for vans delivering rolls of
paper, there Is little traffic.
The taxlcab went by this latter route.
Opposite the Record office, where the
presses stood, silent monsters waiting
to leap, old Hilary Kingston wus
standing, kldgloved and wearing tho
gray derby hat he affected. As the
taxlcab bore dowo toward him he
hailed It. er
"Taxi 1" he called.
The taxlcab slowed down. Old Hil
ary, seeing It occupied, waved It off
with his stick. Bnt It had come to a
full stop. There was an alleyway be
side the Record building, and now three
men ran out from there, and thrust re
volvers through the open windows of
the cnb. .After that it was hot work.
Marnliull of the bunk went back with a
bullet through his lung. The bank
messenger fired polntbtunk, and missed
his target; but old Hilary, gray derby
and all, weut down where he stood,
twenty feet uway. The uninjured clerk
had an uutomutlc gun, and swept a
circle with It over the bag which lay
at his feet. There was no getting In
side that ring of death. The bandits
retreated, firing as they ran, and
climbed Into an automobile up the
street. When the reporters In the Rec
ord office wakened to tho fact that
there was a story under their windows,
the street was clear. Only old Hllnry
lay dead on the pavement, with a bullet
In his head.
The chauffeur of the taltfcab drove
madly to the hospital with Marshall,
who- was dying, and then to pollca
quarters, where he gave himself up. no
was released, of course. His name wss
Walter Huff. He was shown to be a
new man, hut sober and Industrious,
one of the best drivers In the employ
of tho taxlcab company. It was also
shown that Hllnry Kingston hnd hailed
him: lluff explnlned his stopping. Mr.
Kingston was n regular patron; be had
meant to tell him that in live minutes
he would come back and pick him up.
Huff wus under surveillance for
three days, lils conduct was lmpeo

To be continued.
NEW CHANCELLOR UPHOLDS
GERMANY'B U-BOAT CAMPAIGN
Asserts That It Is Lswful Measure,
Justifiably Adopted to Shorten
the War.
Copenhagen.—Dr. Mlchaelis, the
new German Imperial chancellor, ,ln
his address to the relchstag, declared
his adhesion to Germany's submarine
campaign, asserting It to be a lawful
neasure. Justifiably adopted for
shortening tho war.
Dr. Mlchaelis opened his relchstag
speech with a hearty tribute to Dr.
von BethmannHoilweg, the retiring
imperial chancellor, whose work, be
said, history would appreciate. The
chancellor declared that the war was
forced upon unwilling Germany by the
Russian mobilization and that the
submarine warfaro was also forced
upon Germany by Great Britain's Il
legal blockade starvation war.
The faint hope that America, at
the head of the neutrals, would check
Great Britain's Illegality was vain.
Germany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by a peace offer failed and
the submarine campaign was adopted,
said the chancellor.
The submiy-lnes, the speaker contin
ued, had done all and more than had
been expected, and the false prophets
who had predicted the end of the
war at a definite time had dono a dis
service to the fstherland.

Bill Gives President Broad Authority
Over Control of Foods, Feeds,

-■ „ . _ j
Washington. The administration
food control bill, virtually wrltton af
ter five weeks' bitter contest, was
passed by the Senate, eighty-one to
six. Conferees from House and Sen
ate have begun work and leaders hope
the measure may be In the President's
hands In ten days.
As revamped, the bill gives the
President broad authority over foods,
feeds and fuels, the latter, Including
I kerosene and gasoline, provides ad
ministration by a food board of three
members Instead of an Individual; au
thorizes federal fixing of coal prices,
requisitioning and operation of mlaee,
ami authorizes a minimum guaranteed
price of not less than )2 per bushel
for wheat at primary markets. The
Senate prohibition sections,. prohibit
ing manufacture of distilled beverages |
during the war and directing the Pres
ident to buy all distilled spirits In
bond, was substituted for the House
"bone dry" provision and will be one
subject of difficulty In conference.
Senators voting sgslnst the bill
were: France, Maryland; Hardwlck,
Qeorgla; Penrose, Pennsylvania;
Reed, Missouri; Sherman, Illinois and
Sutherland, West Vlrglnis.
Many Amendments.
Scores of amendments were dis
posed of. but the principal features
were the (Incorporation of the
amendment authorizing the minimum
wheat price, and another by Senator
Pomerene's greatly broadening the
government's power to hsndle the coal
sltustlon. The government's guaran
tee for wheat would be payable at all
principal Interior primary markets un
til July 1, 1919. The Senate rejected,
46 to 36, an amendment by Senator
Norrls to have the food board Instead
of Congress fix the minimum price.
The l'omerene coal amendment, in
corporated by the overwhelming vote
of 72 to 12, directs the President
through the federsl trade commis
sion, or other agency, to fix coal
prices, wholesale and retail, regulate
tbe entire Industry snd, If necesssry,
take over and operate coal mines and
fix prices of labor.
On a final vote, the Senate refused
C 6 to 23. 'to place the bill's admlnls
tmOon In the hands of an Individual.
Senators understood the administra
tion would endeavor to have the con
ferees substitute the original House
provision for a single administrator.
Appropriation In the House bill of
(150,000,000 was left unchanged by
the Senate, which added an appropria
tion of 110,000.000 for federal pur
chase and sale of soda nitrates for
fertilizer. Another Important Senate
addition to the bill provides for a
joint congressional committee to su
pervise war expenditures. It was pro
posed by Senator Owen.
To Prevent Hoarding.
The Senate also added provisions
against hoarding of foodstuffs and for
regulation of grain exchanges, author-
Izlnz the President to close them If
necessary to stop speculation In fu
tures.
The bill limits government control
virtually to 'he orlglnel subjects of
the House measure, foods, feeds and
fuels.
In lieu of the House bill's broad
provisions for licensing food dealers.
The Senate bill limits federal licensing
to the following agencies and these
only which have products In Interetate
cold storage ami packing houses, farm
Implement factories, coal producers
and dealers and wholesalers of des
ignated necessities.
The House blM's provisions for fed
eral requisitioning of necessariee Is
limited to th» Senate redraft to food,
feeds and funis and other supplies
for military purposes only. Govern
ment purchase and sale of foodstuffs,
to maintain reasonable prices, also Is
limited by the Senate bill tf fuel,
wheat, flour, meal, beans and pota
toes.
The House provision for authority
to requisition factories generally was
curtailed by the Senate to factories,
packing houses, mines and other
plants needed for military or other

EFFORTS TO OVERCOME FRENCH
GAINS AT VERDUN HAVE
FAILED.
On ths Russian Front Qsnsral Kortv

bornly Holding Back Relnfsrosd
Austro-Qermsn Armies.
After having tried Ineffectually to
overcome ths French gains in the
Verdun sector between the eastern
edge of the Avocourt wood and HIU
304. the Oermans have ceased tbelr
costly enterprise and are now con
tenting themselves with throwing
shells into the positions which oen
oral Petaln's men forced them to
evacuate. Likewise, along the
Chemln-des-Dames the violent Infan
try activity of the early week baa
ceased and arUllery duels instead are
taking place.
The British and the Oermans con
tinue their violent artillery duels in
northern Belgium and Field Marshal
Halg's forces are keeping up their
harassing patrol raids on numerous
sectors of the front. One of the most
successful of the enterprises was
carried out east of Monchy-ls-
Prettx In the Arras sector, In which
the British gained ground and took
prisoners.
On tho Russian front, General
Kornlloff's army In East Ualkla Is
stubbornly holding back the rein
forced Aimtro German armies, which
at various points are endeavoring to
wrest from them the positions re
cently won In the Halicz and Kalust
sectors. In the latter region, near the
vllluge of Novlca, tho enemy won a
vantage point from the Russians but
mediately afterwards, In a counter
attack, lost It again. The Oermans
are violently bombarding the Rus
sians south of Rrzezany and near
Halle*.
Late reports from Petrograd are to
tho effect that the disorders have
been quelled. In Tuesday's fighting
In tho streets of Petrograd, six per
sons were killed and 238 wounded.
Tho weekly British admiralty state
ment shows that Inst week fourteen
British ships of more than 1,600 tons,
four of under 1.800 tons and eight
Ashing vessels were sunk by subma
rines or mines—a slight Increase In
tonnage over tho previous week.
