He sat erect and tried to reach his j coat pocket. His face twitched with j the pain of the effort, j I had a bottle of dope I'm sup- I posed to to help me sleep; j must have left it in my bag. Will | you poke the button, please?" "Can't I get it for you?" Archie !asked. I "You are very kind. It's the i small satchel—a bottle about as ! long as your hand." j Opening the bag in Congdon's I berth Archie's hand fell upon a i photograph that lay on top. The i face swam before his eyes and he I pitched forward in his agitation, ; bumping his head viciously against ! the window. It was/ a photograph !of Isabel Perry. He groped for ( the bottle and crept back to the ; smoking compartment, j Congdon, the custodian of a pho tograph of Isabel Perry, demanded a more careful inspection, and Archie studied him with renewed in terest. Isabel was hardly a girl to bestow her photograph upon a married man. Congdon had no bus iness with the photograph and ■ Archie bitterly resented its pres ence in the ma.n's luggage. He ( jumped when Congdon announced : that he was ready to turn in, fol lowed him to the berth, and helped him to undress. , "Whistle if you need anything in | the night," said Archie, and allow jed the porter to push him into the ' upper berth—the first he had ever j occupied. When t&ey were aroused by the porter he helped Congdon into his ' clothes, chose a clean shirt for him land laughingly offered to shave , him. ! ""You're a mighty good fellow!

No partic ular plans myself. Just knocking about a bit." By the time Archie had made his toilet they were running into the Chicago station. "Suppose we have breakfast in the station restaurant? And see ! here, old man; I don't want to ( force myself on you, but if a poor neurasthenic won't bore you too much I wish you'd let me tag you till my train leaves tonight. I hate to be alone." They not only breakfasted to gether, but after motoring through the parks they spent an hour at an art institute and then Archie acted as host to luncheon. By this time Archie was fully committed to the further journey into Michigan. On a bench in Grant Part Cong j don swung- himself into a confi i dential attitude. "Life's the devil's own business,'' .he said with a sigh. I've got tc ' a place where I don't care what hap j pens—everything black anywhere ] look. I was happily married; two beautiful children; none finer, — but I'll shorten up the story so you can see what a monkey fate has made of me. My father's a crank, a gen ius in his way, but decidedly eccen i trie. My mother died when I was ! a youngster, and father tried all | sorts of schemes of educating me, whimsical notions, one after another. The result was I've never got a look lin anywhere;, unfitted for every j thing. After I married he still tried Ito hold the rein on me, wanted to i put me into business I >iated and j kept meddling with my domestic ' affairs. All this made me weak and irresolute." j ""Well, sir, I was about to offer j myself as exhibit A on a slab in ,the nearest morgue," Congdon ! continued, "when I met a young woman who seemed to understand me, and right there's where I made the greatest mistake of my life. She made a fool of me—that's the ( short of it. I took her into dinner lat the house of some friends right here in Chicago—and she diagnos ed my -case with marvelous pene tration. She said I faced life with j the soul of a coward, and suggest ed that I go armed and shoot any ■ one who stepped on my toes. She , recited a piece of verse to the ef ; feet that a man fears his fate too much if he won't put his life to jthe test." "I was fool enough to believe it. I tried to follow her advice. It ended in my having a row with my ! father that beat all the other rows : i I ever had with him and he turned ■ against my wife—said she was try ing to estrange us. And when I ran ' away to escape from the nasty mess jhe sent her telegrams in my name I threatening to kidnap the children 'and he did in fact kidnap my little ; daughter. Snatched her away from her mother and carried her out to ; one of his farms in Ohio. But my wife played a clever trick on the old I gentleman and got the child back again and I'm damned glad of it. I got a massage that the little girl is up in Michigan, .so that's really where ! I'm headed for." Archie had suffered a blow but he was meeting it bravely. Hav , ing believed that Isabel had given l him this same advice quite spon taneously, it was with a shock that he realized that she had offered it in similar terms to Congdon. There was no question as to the identity of the girl—who had bidden Cong don plant his back to the wall and defy the world; no one but Isabel would ever have done that. "About your child, up there in Michigan," said Archie, "it*s wholly I possible that your wife sent you | the wire as an approach to a rec- j onciliation." . "Oh, Lord, no! You don't know j my wife, Comly. You see I got I answers to the telegrams father' sent her in my name and she hit | right back at me! Don't think she's! coaxing me to come back to her. j And here's the message I got out I there in Ohio that caused me to j jump for the train." He produced from his pocket a crumpled telegram which read: "Your daughter is in safe hands at Huddleston, Michigan. Proceed to :, that point with serenity and con j template the stars with a tranquil . j spirit." 'I This was so clearly the Gover nor's work that Archie found it difficult to refrain from laughing. 'J "You may think it queer that I ,set off," Congdon remarked, "on i' the strength of a message like that. ; | But ever since that girl told me >i I oughtn't to "Hesitate when I heard • the bugle I can't resist the tempta > tion to act on the spur of the rno i ment. I'm a fool, I suppose. Tell ; me I'm a fool, Comly." "I shall do nothing of the kind. There's always the chance that the I j girl had sized you up right and gave II you sound advice. Don't answer ; if you don't want to, but have you ; really done anything you wouldn't > have done if that girl hadn't told . you to step on the world a little - * harder?" ■ I Congdon's free hand worked J convulsively; he bent closer to Archie and whispered: ) "I've killed a man!" jj "You murdered a man!" Archie ) - gasped. .! "Not a question about it, my i dear fellow! It was up at my house ; on the Main Shore. After father . had driven my wife away I went . there to look at the ruins of my 5 • home. I was mooning through the I' house when I ran into a burglar. t ' The scoundrel had gone to bed in | the guest room. I was scared to I death when I opened the door and . j spotted him but I thought of that I j girl's advice and pulled my gun , and shot him. As I ran down the II stairway *he .took a shot at me; . I that's what's the matter with my ! shoulder." j "Well, I'd say you're out of it . jeasy. Of course you didn't kill him t or he wouldn't have been able to wound you." • J "But you see he didn't die im i > mediately, but crawled off and ■ breathed his life out in some lonely I place. It's horrible! The thing will 'hang over me t." : i T die! If you say; I I ought to go to Maine and sur-. j render myself I'll do it." ! "Most certainly not!" cried Archie j I with mournful recollection of his ijown speculations on the same point' l.in the hours when he believed that ( Jhe himself was responsible for. l;Hoky's death. f'v Congdon rose and suggested a jwalk to freshen them up* before 'train time. • "1 thank God I fell in with you," he said with feeling. "Just talking •to you has helped me a whole lot." CHAPTER VIII ! ; They breathed deep of the tonic air of the North as they left the j train at Huddleston. j As they approached the hotel a ! man emerged and crossed the' j street. Archie identified him at J onee as Red Leary, to whom the ; Governor had delivered the stolen | money at Walker's farm. Leary j made no sign of ever having seen j Archie before but picked up the I luggage and led the way to the ' hotel. "We jes' opened the house last jweek. One» other gent's register-1 • ed." He placed his finger on • "Reginald Heber Saulsbury." I , ; "By the way," Congdon asked, 'Leary, "you haven't seen anything of a little girl about here, have you—a child of eleven?" J "Not one of 'em but a whole ! passel," replied Leary. "There's a j i camp o' city girls across the bay." J j "Well, I suppose that's the trick," . said Congdon as Leary started up- J stairs with their bags.'"Edith has! been put in a camp. Not a bad idea. ; GET YOUR BABY CHICKS from Ellenboro School Hatchery Chicks for sale at a little above cost from vigorous and healthy Rhode Island, Barred Rock and White Leghorn flocks. CUSTOM HATCHING DONE AT STANDARD PRICES « Ail I want to be sure of is that the child's in good hands." "Dinner will be at twelve." said Leary. At mealtime, Mrs. Leary entered the dining-room briskly, "Jes' help yerselves, gents." "Ah!" ejaculated the Governor, pausing dramatically in the door and eyeing the newly arrived guests as though their presence filled him with astonishment. In a moment more he had introduced himself to Archie and Congdon. "Rather odd my being here," he rippled on; "and I need hardly say that it's a pleasure to meet on this bleak shore two gentlemen of your caliber. I told a friend of mine that I was enormously fed up with cities and the general human pres , sure and wanted to go to the most : God-forsaken spot in America, He | answered without a moment's hes ; itation that Huddleston, Michigan. | would satisfy my loftiest ideal of : god forsakeness. He's probably j laughing himself to death right now : thinking how miserable I am. But I , refuse to be boi*ed." i W hen Congdon pleaded weari ness, after dinner, Archie put him jto bed and then sauntered away, j following a dirt road that wound ! through the timber. In a little j while he came upon the Governor ' lying with his back against a tree. | "Well, you landed him here!" he i remarked, seating himself on a log ! and producing his pipe. "Or did I he bring you? One would think • you were old chums to see you to | gether. Not a bad fellow, I should ! say." ! "He's really a good sort," said !Archie; "but I'll tell you the whole j story." i The Governor listened placidly, j interrupting only when Archie re j peated what Congdon had said of j Isabel. "A wonderful girl!" he ejaculated. | "Makes it her business to tease the I world along. But now to gat down Jto brass tacks. What you learned of : old Eliphalet Congdon's meddlesome ness jibes exactly with what I know of his character. Let me show you something, Archie." } He walked out upon the gravelly shore and pointed through the wind flung arms of the bay. i "Do you see a little blur of smoke out yonder in the open lake? That's the Arthur B. Grover. I took up my option and the bloomin' thing is mine. It's got a crew of the smartest crooks in all America. And Perky's on board with old Eliphalet Cong don!
