So absorbed was I In my reflections
that I did not notice that the boat
had reached Its slip, and I was almost
the last to leave It. Just as I stepped
off the gang-plank a huge machine
shot by me, giving me barely time to
catch a look at the occupants, but in
.that fleeting glimpse I recognized
them both.
It was Louise with Hugh Crandall
CHAPTER XI.
More Discoveries.
The worse the injury the less It
hurts at the moment. I once saw a
man with both legs cut off laughing
and joking with the men who pulled
him from under a car. Though he
died in ten minutes, I doubt If he suf
fered half as much as if he had
bumped his head or had run a splinter
under Tils thumb-naiirIt is when you
are mortally hurt and live that the
pain becomes so terrible.-
In the few minutes I had had with
Louise I had not realized the depth of
the wound in my heart her conduct
toward me hod made. . Even when I
saw her dask away from me in an au
tomobile, pained though I was that our
Interview should have been cut short,
I still did not comprehend what a ter
rible blow it was that had befallen
me. It was the sight as I left the
ferry of the ' automobile dashing by,
with Louisethe. woman I loved
eeated beside Hugh Crandall, that
gave new poignancy to my pain, that
added to the fires of jealousy, that
made .me understand to the full the
dire import of what had happened.
Louise had lied to me.
Crandall had been in the house. She
had seen him. She had left me to
join him. She had even deserted her
helpless sister and her dying father
to go with him. And all the while her
lips had protested that no one had
been in the house but the doctors and
nurses, - ---- - ' . - -

it back again, waiting two weary hours
for an Ardway train, as I sat for two
unending hours more In the long ride
through New Jersey, like a poisoned
knife, cutting my heart to shreds and
cutting the shreds again, the thought
kept coming back to me over and
over: "She lied to me."
Quarter a man alive, pour molten
metal Into his eyeballs, feed him salt
fish and cut off water, bury him alive
in quicklime, devise what torture you
will and double it, the, pain and agony
can not equal that which comes, to a
man who, believing in and trusting
and loving a woman with his whole
heart, is forced to admit to himself
that she has deceived him that she
has lied to him. In those awful hours
I came to know the seven hells. I
went through all of them."
' Only one ray of comfort came to
me. As I had asked myself "Why did
I she lie?" I found myself believing that
she had done so, not of her own free
will, "but 'impelled 1y some "motive 1o
powerful that she could not resist it.
That it was the influence of Crandall
I could no doubt. He had so preyed
on her fears for her father and sister,
perhaps on her fear for me, that he
had induced her to try to persuade me
to give up my investigation and had
made her promise to accompany him
on some doubtful secret mission.
"It Is not my secret."
I recalled the pltepus cry my en
treaties had wrung from her lips, and
found the logical explanation of it la
her having been terrorized by that
villain, Crandall. If I could have found
him at the moment I could have killed
him with my naked hands.
Yet even though I was convinced
that Louise had lied to me, J began to
feel that whatever she had done, what
ever she was now doing, was In the
belief that she was acting for the best
for her dear ones, for me.
My duty to her, my duty to myself,
I reasoned,, demanded that I do my
utmost to solve the hideous mystery
and free her from the fear that I was
sure was responsible for her strange
actions. I swung off the train at Ard
way and hastened to the hotel, eager
to tell Davis what I had learned about
the movements of Hugh Crandall, but
Davis was not there. All that I could
learn was that he had hired a horse
and buggy early In the morning and
had driven off in the direction taken
by Crandall the day before.
"If he is following Crandall's trail,"
said I to myself, "he is just a day too
late.":
So long as Davis was not about I
decided I might as well see if the miss
ing postmaster had been fouLu. as I
walked up the Street I could not help
thinking how dumfounded Davis would
be when he returned from his fruit
less chase for Crandall and listened
to my tale of Crandall's actions. While
he had advised against my return to
the city, he would have to admit that ,
It had not been without result.
As I entered the post-office I found I
that Miss Cox was still in charge.
Approaching the letter window, I bade
her good afternoon and asked if there
was any news of the missing postmas
ter, It was late in. the afternoon and
the last mail for the day having been
distributed, she sat crocheting. She
motioned to me to come around to
the rear door.
"How about It?" I asked as I en
tered the office, "has anything been
heard of Rouser?"
She shook her head.
"That's about the eighty-ninth time
I've answered that question to-day.
Seems like the whole town was la
here wanting to know."
"Has the post-office inspector been
here?" ' ,-
"He was in here this morning and
made just the routine examination. He
'Hat Anything , Been
Rouser?"
Heard of
didn't ask no questions, though I un
derstand . he - haa been sleuthing
around up to Widow Smith's, where
Charlie Rouser boards. If he's looking
for anything wrong with Charlie's ac
counts it's my private opinion that he
ain't going to find it. I've been all
over the books twice today and there
ain't anything out of the way."
"Have you any idea where all that
money came from that we found be
hind the cash-drawer?"
''No, and" I don't see that It's any of
iny affair. . His books is right, and his
stamps and his stamped envelopes Is
all accounted for. Maybe be made It
In Wall street, or maybe somebody
left it there with him for safe-keeping."
' -
Aa I recalled Davis parting lnstruo
tions to me When I had first come
out to Ardway, I was jnore and more
surprised that he had .not Investigat
ed further at the post-office. He had
seemed to think that the clue to the
whole mystery would be found there,
and he had particularly charged me
to find out to whom Lock Box No, 17
had been rented. I decided to ask
Miss Cox If she knew anything about It
"Seventeen has never been rented
as long as I have had, anything to do
with the office. . It Is away off there
in the corner where it is hard td see
into. There's always ; been more
boxes than there was any call for. Not
one of them In the lower row ever has
been rented, even in summer, when
there's a lot of city folks out here."
"Do you ever remember of seeing
any mall addressed to that box?"
She worked Industriously at her
crocheting for a minute or two before
replying and then, putting it aside, said
thoughtfully: ', .
'It's funny" that you should have
asked me that"

"1 "don't know that I've any busi
ness telling you," said Miss Cox, as
he debated with herself whether or
not she w as talking too much, "but I
am as anxious as anybody to find out
what's become of Charlie Rouser, and
from what I've seen of you I guess
you're a sight more likely to find him
than Jim Dobbs, the constable. If I
wasn't sure in my own mind that Char
lie hadn't done nothing out Of the way,
I don't know as I'd even be telling
you about it. But since you've asked
me, I guess I will."
She hesitated, studying my face as
if trying to read there whether or not
I meant harm to the missing post
master. I tried not tp exhibit undue
interest, though Inwardly I felt quite
jubilant. I was certain that J was on
the track of important revelations.
"Let me see," she continued, "it was
a week ago Tuesday no, it was Wed
nesday, for I went over to my sister's
Tuesday and Mr. Rouser left word
for me, and I found it waiting for me
when I came back. He asked me to
come over and take the office for the
day. I was surprised when I come
over here to open up to find bim here,
for I'd understood that he was going
to be gone all day. He explained that
he didn't have to go till after the mall
was in, and he stayed here and helped
me sort. There was a lot-of mall
that day, people round here are great
for answering advertisements and get
ting circulars. Besides that, some of
them get-rlch-quick concerns have got
hold of o-.i telephone Subscribers
book and there's always a lot of min
ing stock letters. There was no less
than four good-sized bundles of letters
from New York. Rouser was sorting
the letters and I was handling the
second class and the papers. I got
through with that and picked up the
last bundle of letters. In it was no
less than six letters addressed to Lock
Box 17. 'Seventeen's rented at last,
says I, thinking it funny that I didn't
know the name on them, Henry Mal
colm Stewart. Who's got it? 'I'll take
charge of them,' says be, taking the
letters right out of my hand before I
had a chance to look at the postmarks j
or anything. I noticed, too, that he
didn't put them in the box, but jammed j
them into his pocket along with a lot j
of other letters he had. I couldn't
say who the other letters was ad
dressed to, for I didn't get a chance
to see them. They might have been
his own, for all I know. But I couldn't
help thinking that the only reason he'd
waited till the mail was distributed
was to get hold of them Lock Box 17
letters. As soon as he got them he
went away, and he didn't come back
tiH. after closing time." -: '
"Have you any idea where he went?" j
"When I come over here that day I j
supposed he was going to the city, but
a few minutes after he left the office I
saw him driving past in one of the
livery rigs." ' "v- r'-V ' "
'Which direction did he. go?" I
asked, feeling more and more Bure
that I had struck the right trail. In
all probability this young fellow In the
post-office was merely an innocent tool
of CrandalLHe had driywi off some
where to meet Crandall and give him
the Lock Box 17 letters, for I was con
vinced that Stewart, was merely an
alias of the villain who had been send
ing out the yellow letters. If I could
learn where the postmaster had gone
on this visit;"! might be able to find
him now.
''Every time Charlie Rouser goes
driving," uaid Miss . Cox, "he always
goes that way," indicating the opposite
direction from the station. "I shouldn't
be surprised in the leaBt. if he was
keeping company with some farmer's
daughter."
A sudden light came into her eyes
and a smile of satisfaction spread over
her face.-. -(. , .v
"Land alive, I "never thought of it
before," she exclaimed, "but ..I'd bet
anything he's gone off to get mar
ried." ,':;'V, i ' ' vu ; .
"Hardly likely," said L "He wouldn't
go off and leave the office unguarded
without., telling jiny .jme. And.. h
wouldnH leave" flvethbuBand "do'llars
lying there in the drawer."
"That's Just what he would do. I'll
bet he had a windfall of some sort
and the minute he got the money in
his hands he just couldn't wait to go
and tell the girl."
"Somebody would have known it if
he got a horse at the livery stable,
would they not?"
"Oh, that's neither here nor there.
He might have gone on his bicycle.
He generally keeps it over there in
the corner, and it ain't there now.1
"It might be up at his boarding-
house."
"It might be," said Miss Cox.
It came to me that if Davis had
thought it worth while to go to the
Widow Smith's to make inquiries, it
might be worth my while, too. After
asking Miss Cox for directions, I told
her I was going to pee if Rouser's
wheel was missing, nr.d made my way
up one of the Eid streets to the
boardlng-houso. Davis' visit evidently
had ruffled tha widow. I found her
in anything but a communicative
mood.
"If you're another of those detec
tive men coming prying around here,"
she said, "you might just as well get
out. I've said all I'm going. to say,
and that's all there is to it."
"Please don't mistake me for a de
tective," I said as pleasantly as I
could. "I'm a friend of Miss Cox
down to the post-office and we were
wondering whether Charlie had taken
his bicycle when he went away, and
Miss Cox thought you might know."
"If you're a friend of Jennie Cox,"
said Mrs. Smith, "I guess I'd be likely
to know it, being her own cousin and
knowing as well as I know my own
face that she hasrTt had a man friend
for eleven years, inr.o Aleck Thomp
son died. As for Cftlie Rouser going
away on his bicycle, I don't know
nothing about it. All I know is his
wheel ain't here, but he never kept
it here anyway. He always kept it
down to the post-office."
With that she slammed the door
in my face, but I went away well sat
isfied. As I walked down the dusty
path of the so-called street toward
the hotel I reviewed all I had learned
and was delighted to think how
amazed Davis would be when I pre
sented my facts gathered in the last
twenty-four hours, which were these
Hugh Crandall was aware that we
were on his trail.
Unable to learn anything from Lou
ise over the telephone, he had dared
to go to the Farrlsh home.
He had so intimidated Louise that
she had asked me to withdraw at once
from the Inquiry. ,
Acting on her fears, he had persuad
ed her to accompany him to some
place in New Jersey.
Lock Box 17 was used for the mall
of some one who had taken the alias
of Henry Malcolm Stewart
All the mall that came to that ad
dress was taken care of by Charlie
Rouser, .the postmaster.
Rouser was in the habit of going
at frequent intervals "either on his
bicycle or in a buggy out on the road
that led away from the station.
Rouser, when he disappeared, un
doubtedly had gone away on his bi
cycle. Everything, to my mind, pointed to
his having gone to meet CrandalL
How to account for the fact thai
Rouser had not' returned was still a
poser to me, but as I reviewed Cran
dall's connection with the chain ol
persons who had been driven to deatl
I found myself believing that it wai
cot at all out of the range of possi
bility for Crandall to have made away
with Rouser for fear of betrayal. From
all I had learned about the missing
postmaster, I was convinced that he
was weak rather than vicious, and I
felt that he probably was an innocent
party to the nefarious plot of the yel
low letters. Davis story that it was a
crime of two persons, after all, was
only a theory. ' When the mystery was
cleared up I was positive that the only
criminal who would ,be uncovered
would be Hugh Crandall. I shuddered
as I recalled that Louise even now was
somewhere - with him, not- exactly
alone, to be sure, for the car was
driven by her chauffeur, but still it
was a most disconcerting thought
As I approached the hotel I saw a
buggy stop before it, the occupants of
which were Davis and the constable.
As Davis dismounted I heard him say.
to the constable:
"Tonight at eight." "
"111 be on hand, you bet," said the
constable as he drove off.
I quickened my steps and overtook
Davis just as he started up the stairs
to his room.
"I've got some great news for you,"
I whispered and went on up with him,
The minute he got into the room he
flung himself on the bed, as if utterly
worn out, and lighted a cigarette. I
had expected that he would be eager
to question me but this did not seem
to be the case."- He lay there with eyes
half closed as if unaware of my pres
ence.
Annoyed as I was at his seeming in
difference, I was sure that when I told
him my amazing news about Crandall
and my discoveries about the post
master he would be effectually,
aroused. I took it for granted that his
mood was due to despondency over
his failure to find either pf them.
"I have seen Hugh Crandall twice,
no, three times, today," I said by way
of beginning, "and I have found out
how Rouser went when he left the
post office".
"Yes," he said absent-mindedly,
"What's more," I cried impatiently,
"I know who had Lock Box No. 17. I
know what was done with the mall
that came to that address."
