I have brought the word that Sir. Sanderson desires. Is It permit ted that I go to get It?" Sanderson nodded wearily. "What ever you have from my boy I must see." With a bow, Wells opened the door which led Into the hall, bowed again. The room broke Into a babel of sound the Instant that the door closed behind Wells: It was as. If he had held them all bound by his person ality, his detached air, his calmness. Now Alberts and Williams realized how Insecure was the rock upon which their mansion was bullded, how proof from this Japanese woold bring It down upon their* heads. There wss no doubt as to what Sanderson would do If the Jspanese made good his promise. Why had the Orients! satd these things? What was it to him? A mischief msker. "The yellow thing I" Alberta shrilled st her uncle. He took no notice of her, and she turned, vtxen-llke, upon El len, who sat apart from the rest, trembling more through excitement than fesr. "Yon—you—" Alberta gasped for words. Her case was desperate, if the uncanny devil did have proof. Every thing would come out Panic surged Into her throst, the seconds thnt she wss speechless seemed sn hour, her tongue clove to her palate As words returned to her, she became more com posed. snd becoming composed, bitter ly vitriolic. There was nothing thst he could hsve. A letter from Boh, telling all the details! when the Jap anese had ssld Bob wss almost dead when he found him. But. oh, the fright 1 the fright It had given her. Phrases, whole sentences flowed from her ss one Inspired by the Hermit of Hate; si! directed st Ellen. all humlll stlng, cutting ss scalpel, painful ss s probe In a wound—of a white wom an who would marry a msn of snother race- Ellen tried to be brave under It Hot tears came. Why must she hesr thla? Why endure? Why hsd her husband left her so? She stsrted to her feet, walked blindly to the door, heard It click behind her, and, slone In the dim hall, stumbled Into s greet csrved chslr, to lie there, sobbing, s pitiful huddle of silk. The Lord of the Thunder Oete wslked slowly scross the hall after leaving the library, and with delibera tion walked up the stslra. The csbln boy, through the crack of the closet door, ssw him suddenly pick his ki mono up above his knees, snd with s great bound, followed by others as fast and huge, reach the end of the hsll, clear past the rooms, fsster than the rahln-boy could draw s surprised breath. The asssssln peered hastily from his vantage point then followed stealth lljr. The lord mounted the Iron stairs, two at a time, opened the door of the tower room snd shut It Immedi ately. Ass! hut It wss s beautiful happen- Ing. The cabin-boy need not wait weary hours. The floor wss deserted. All of the people were In the room of books. Up the stairs after the lord he mounted, silent as a stalking est psssed the door csutlously. snd took up s position on ths next turn of the spiral stair*. It wss very simple, hut the besting of his frensied heart seemed battering down the wall of his rfcest. He was shove the door from which the rice-stealer must emerge. He could reach the other's bsck from shove. There was no risk. No pos sibility of failure. A sound from the room. The fsnatlc lifted his knife snd potsed It. He would be quick ss thought, drive down his knife, poonce upon the lord for a second strike Then he became suddenly gojegte-eyed with smssement Out of the room sprang a white msn, buttoning his vest snd pulling his necktie together as he ran. A white men. No face-concealing, dis torting bandage, no narrowed eyes or tightened llpa. The cabin-boy saw nn eomprehendlngly tht-L black kimono hung In lusterless folds over this msn*s left arm. What had happened to the lord? Before the fellow could piece together the fragments of reason which remained the white man wss gone. The cabin-boy stole down the stairs, looked Into the empty tower room without moving. Kayama-San had been spirited sway. He could not hsve climbed through the window, for even s fool could see that It eras a greet dlstsnee to tee street below. There was but one solution. The god of the lord's family had rescued Kayatna- San In some unknown wny from the peril of the knife which watted. Perhaps the god was still hovering about the room . . . perhaps he might strike him, the cabin-boy . . . the thought was hut half la his mind when he waa already out of the hall, sad slipping down the stairway to the street Suppose, he wss even thiakldg. suppoes he had struck st Kayama? The god would have turned the knife Mede to paper I Bob rushed down the steps, beaded for (he library door. He saw a chair filled with familiar silk, a bowed and sunken head crowned by the flaming glory of hulr. Ellen] He gathered her to him In a great sweeping move ment. '. "My dear, my dearest," he whispered choklnglly. "I can't tell you now— there Is no time for explanations, but soon—" • Bhe lifted a tear-wet face. "I kpow —some of It I know, and some 1 have guessed already— M "They made you cry P he said fierce ly. ("Now," snarled the Thunder God to the Keeper of the Stars, "look close ly! There will be fighting!") Ellen felt the tweed's rough sur face against her cheek. "All's nesrly over," Wells whispered comfortingly. "Ellen, oh, Ellen, I love you—don't cry, desr girl." His arm tightened about her. From the depths of the cost, muf fled : "Are you about to beat me, my lord?" For answer Wells lifted her radiant, face and klsssed her. "A kiss Is not . . . foolish, ss you ssid.l' she bresthed, still In his arms. "My ... my head swims ..." And he must kiss her again. They stood snother moment so. Then, together, they entered the room. CHAPTER XIX Sanderson wss still deep In his chslr, his fsce away from the door. He had not moved since Wells hsd left WUUsms copped s light for his cigsrette, wss absorbed momentarily, so thst Alberta first saw the quiet opening of the door, first ssw the maa with the blsck kimono over his arm. The Instant of horrified recognition wss unendurable More awful because of whst It stopd for. It was Bon. IMrss-lt-wss-lt-was! Bob hsd been . . . thst robe, the darker skla ... he hsd been the Jspanese. Keyama. She would never be able to explain things to Sander son. Not after what the Japanese, (Whst Bob!) bad said. And shs had nrged him on. Never reinstste her self. Never! She hsd no thought of -Hoi" Kamlnari Admired. That Was s Mighty Blow!" Williams now. Never! The sicken ing futility of thst word mads her case the more desperate . . an other moment of this silence sad shs would revs herself mad. "The proof," Bob said very evenly la his Jspanese voice. Sanderson's bead did not lift. He was fsr away, he sew his Bob la that strange land, ee unutterably alone. Williams rslssd his bead. The match homed against the nail at his finger, charred, snd went out A ghost I It most be a ghost. Soma trick of the Japanese. He had heard that they could produce phantoms . . . no ... It was real. His face wav ered between surprise sad qtrfck-com hkt tita w~ —Nb to spsak; or move his band. ' ~ He tried to amlla, achieved an up turning of his Ups In an expression thst held steady, neither waxing nor waning. He tagered his eysa. snd •zed them In detfeeratlon on s point st the table's edge. That point what ever It was, a speck of dust, perhapa. seemed to grow snd grow untlylt ems monstrous snd a harden Intolerable to eodure With a great effort be strefened out his hand towsid Wells, In greeting. Alberts set bold nprtght trying to reason oat her salsery with wide, t sari ess eyse and a hand prtsssd to keep down the tsmolt In her bread. She attempted to speak, but could only motion with her dry llpa. She noticed for the that time t%s steel hae e t Wei Uf eyes, thnt had always been so brown and friendly. Wells smiled, sad Williams tried to Imitate him. His desperate grinning tends his Jaws ache and hla nails went [ te his teetk—ware towered again to THE ALAMANCE GLEANER, GRAHAM, N. 0. hla side aa Wells took another step Into the room. Sanderson had not moved. Wells, Ellen by his side, moved to the edge of bis uncle's chair and, very gently, touched the older man's shoul der. "Uncle Jim 1" he said. His uncle looked up. So rapidly that his face was still In sorrow while his eyes moved Into the new expres sion of joyful, half-unbellevlng rap ture; he stretched for Bob's hand, grasped It convulsively, unable to speak. But understanding. Wells' knees trembled as he turned to Williams: "Here's your proof, Ray." A gurgle of attempted words. "Why—how—you—" "What do you think of ltT* "I —we —glad to see you back—" "Still lying, BayT You would 11a, wouldn't you?" "I —let me explain, Bob. If—" "If the proof bad been paper—like the proof you were looking for, and preparing to perjure against—yon Ue well, ril say that for yon, Ray—lt'd have been destroyed long ago. For Ifs been rained on, and kicked, and spat at; it's been left outside in all weath ers. ru bet you wept when you were tpld about me, you crocodile I" His voice raised like wind in a brass tube, and he dropped his arm from about Ellen and reached a sudden hand to Williams' coat cellar, whirling him oat of his chair and to his feet Unmindful of Alberta's whimper of protesting fright Unmindful 1 Un hearing, rather. "I promised you proof. Yon should ask for proof." His hand flicked light ly against Williams' cheek. "Take a good look at your proof, Ray. It was a aad affair, wasn't Itt You tried to help me, didn't youT" Hand against cheek, harder. "You were a h—l of a friend, you werel" He stopped, breathtaea, and released the other's collar, glaring at him. "Uacle Sandy . . stop them . . . this Is no place ..." Al berta found her voice at last Sanderson's face was a picture; in finitely prim, extraordinarily wise; he blinked from below hla shaggy brows bat msde no motion aa if to apeak or interrupt Williams wished that he might step away ./. . farther from Bob. Dim ly, he beard Alberta'a "It's Bobt Bob I . . . don't let him hurt Ray, please" and ao he, also, must speak. "It waa . . . Alberta, Bob. Llatenl She made me . . . made me ... It was her plan . . . she wanted ..." "By the Thunder God, who saw bso through this thing," Wells said so gently that Williams felt aafer, "you are a dirty swine, Ray I Yon—yon—" (Kamlnarl slipped a thunderbolt te Wells' right hand.) "You hound 1" And Bob's hand became a tight flat, drove against Williams* jaw. Once. ("Hot" Kamlnarl admired. That waa a mighty blow I") San Hereon spoke flrat "Better take him away, Alberta," be aald. glancing to where Williams sprawled llxard-llke upon the nig, pro tecting hla head needlessly from a second blow. "You wanted him. You muat have wanted him pretty badly, Alberta, to have gone through all this. Well, well, you've got him now. Yes, you've got him. He's yours to keep. Take him away." She muat try once. "Bob's travel ing with thst woman, Undo Sandy. He'a no better than I've said. Won't you believe me when I tell you—" "Why notr Wells aaked. "She's ■y wife, you know." "She isn't," Alberta protested bitter ly. speaking quickly and with excite ment It might be aaved yet Ray? He waa done . . . but what did that matter ... but she. herself, this greet house, her poeltloa . . . If she could but convince Sanderson that aba had acted for what abe had thought waa the best!
