The fate of the murderer, the crime, even Lafron himself, lost temporarily their interest in the public curiosity over the personality of San'oine. It had been reported for some days that Santoine had come to Seattle di rectly after Warden's deal h ; but when this was admitted, his associ ates had always been careful idd that Santoine. having been a .dose personal friend of Cabriel Warden, had come purely in a pet s .mil capac ity, an'l the impression was given that Santoine had returned ipreily some flays before. The mere prolonging of his stay in the West w;!-. more than Vuggestive that affairs among the powerful were truly in sue, stale as Warden had proclaimed ; this attack Upon Sanioine. so similar to that which had slain War.'vn. and deliv ered within eleven days of Warden's death, must be of the gravest signifi cance. Connery stood overwhelmed for the moment with this fuller recognition of the seriousness of" the disaster which had cotre upon this man in trusted to his charge; then he turned to the surgeon. "Can you do anything for him here. Doctor?" he asked. The surgeon glanced down the car. "That stateroom is it occupied?" Trllm Hid Maia By William Mac Hani, Edwin Baliner "It's occupied hy his daughter." "We'll take him in there, then." The four men lifted the inert figure of Hasil Santoine. curried it into the drawing room and laid it on its back upon the bed. "I have my instruments," Sinclair said. "I'll get them; but before I de cide to do anything, I ought to see his daughter. Since she is here, her consent is necessary before any opera tion on him." "Miss Santoine is in the observation I car," Avery said. "I'll get her." ! The tone was in some way false I Katon could not tell exactly how. ; Avery Marled down the aisle. "( ne moment, please. Mr. Avery!" said the conduclor. "I'll ask mi Hot to tell Miss Santoine before any i j other passenger that there has been j an attack upon her father. Wait un- til you get her inside the door ot tins i car.'" j "You yourself --aid nothing, then. that can have made her sits; t it.' Katon asked. ('oimoi'v shook his head; the con ductor, in doubt and .anxiety over ex actlv what action the situation called 'Can You Do Anything for Him Here.

His eves shifted from the face of one to another, until he had assured hims. If 1 hat all agree, 1. As Av erv left the c;ir. Katon found a s.-ai in "I f the end se. -lions near the draw ing room. He did not know whether to ask to leave the ear. or whether he ought to remain; and he would have gone except for recollection of. Har riet Santoine. Then the curtain at the ,-nd ,f the ear was pushed further aside, and she came in. She wais verv i.ale. but (Piite con- I trolled, as Ka'on knew she would he. She looked il t Katon, hut did not speak iis she passed: she went di- recily to the door of the drawing room, opeia-d if ..ml went in, followed h Aver;..

The eondrndor n came the door of the drawing ; room and sen' tl port.-i- r vv; ...,. and clean linen: Katon heard the rip! across from Katon He seemed leen- ' ly thought ful so deeply, indeed, as to be almost unaware of Katon's pres ence. Ami Katon, observing him, again had the sense that Avery's ab sorption was completely in eonse iplenees to himself of what was going on behind the door - in how Basil Siinto'me's death or continued exist- ein-e would affect the fortunes of Don ald Avery. A long time passed how long. Ka- ton could not have told: he noted only that during it the shadows on the snowbank ..inside the window ap preciably changed heir position. Ki nally the door opened, and Harriet Santoine came out. paler than before, ami, now not , piite so steady. Katon rose as she approached them; and Avery leaped up, all con cern and sympathy for her immedi ately she appeared. He met her in the aisle and took her hand, "Was it successful, dear';" Avery asked. She shut her eyes before she an swered, and stood holding to th back of a seat ; then she opened her eyes, saw Katon and recognized him and sat down in the seat where Avery had been sitting. "Doctor Sinclair says we will know in four or five days." she replied to Avery; she turned then directly to Katon. "He thought there probably was a clot under the skull, and he operated to find it and relieve It. 9 There was one, and we have done all we can; now we may only wait. Hoe tor Sinclair has appointed himself nurse; he says I inn help him. but not just yet. I thought you would like to know." "Thank you; I did want to know," Katon acknowledged, lie moved away from them, and sat down in one of the seats further down the car. Soon he left for his own car, and as the door was closing behind him, a sound came to his ears from the car he just had left -a voting girl sud denly crying in abandon. Harriet Santoine, he understood, must have broken down f,,i- the moment, after the strain of the operation; and Ka ton halted ,-ts though to turn back. feeling the blood drive suddenly upon his heart. Then, recollecting that he had no right to g to her. he went on. CHAPTER VII Suspicion Fastens on Eaton. Katon found his car better filled than il had been before, for the people shifted from the car behind had been scattered through the train. Keeping himself To his section, he watched the car and outside the windows for signs of what Investigation Connery and Avery were making. Whoever had attacked Santoine limst still be upon the train, for m one could have escaped through the snow. No one could now escape. Avery find Connery and whoever else was making investi gation!) with them evidently were not letting anyone know that an investi gation was being made. Katon went fo bin.h; on his way back from the diner, he saw the conductors wiih pa pers in their hands .piestioning a pas senger. They evidently were starting systematically through the cars, exam ining each p.-ron; thev were making the plea of nooe-sitv of a report to the railroad oth.es ,,f names and ad- dfe-s.-s of all held up hv the of thr train. Katon started .n toward of the train. "A '."!!:. ni . -' r ! " Vniiorv !: '"!) hab.d. The 'on.bn from, d him. lie reat' tl- "Your liatce. e. sir- I o! !;.'!'. a si, I'd. "1'hi'ip lh Ka'oii."

Then he said something to the l'ullmun conductor, who replied iti the same low lone; w hat they said w as not audible to Katon. "You .-an tell us at h-ast where your familv Mr. KaP.n." Conne r v sirggestec "1 have no familv." "friends, then'.'" "I I have no friends." "Now here';" "Nowhere." Coimerv poipi.-red f.-r several mo ments.

"(live me the address, then, of the man win. sent the telegram." "I am unable to do that, either." Connery spoke again to the I'ullnian 'ondil' or, and they conversed inau dibly for a minute. "That is all, then." Connery said finally. He signed his name to the sheet on which he had written Katon's an swers, and handed It to the i'ullnian conductor, who also signed it and re turned it to him; then they went on to the passenger now occupying Sec tion Kmir. without making any fur ther comment. Katon told himself that there should be no danger to himself from this in quiry, directed against no one, but including comprehensively everyone on the train. When the conductors had left the car, he put his magazine away and went into the men's com partment to smoke and calm his nerves. His return to America had passed the- bounds of recklessness; and what a situation he would now be in if his actions brought even serious suspicions against him! He finished his first cigar and was debating whether to light another, when he heard voices outside the car. and opening the window and looking out. he saw Connery and thr brakeman struggling through the snow and mak ing, apparently, some search. Pres ently Connery passed the door of the compartment carrying something loosely wrapped in a newspaper in his hands. Katon finished his cigar and went back to his seat in the car. As he glanced at the seat where he had left his locked traveling bag, V V V V V" V V he saw that the bag was no longer there. . It stood now between the two seats on the floor, and picking it up and looking at it, he found it unfas tened and with marks about the lock which told plainly that it had been forced. He set It on the floor between his knees and checked over its contents. Nothing had been taken, so far as he could tell; for the bag had con- tained only clothing, the Chinese die - tionarv and the box of cigars, and these all apparently were still there. He had laid out the things on the seat across from him while checking them up, and now he began to put them back in the bag. Suddenly he noticed that one of his socks was missing; what had been eleven pairs was now only ten pairs and one odd sock. de sock This disappearance of a sin was so si range, so bizarre, so per plexing that- unless it was acciden tal--he could not account for it at al Xo one opens a man 's bn" and steals one sock, and he was quite sure there had been eleven complete pairs then earlier in the dav. (Vrtainlv then, it had 1 n accidental: the bag had I ti opened, ils contents taken out and examined, and in putting them back, one sock had been dropped un noticed. The absence of the sock. then, meant no more than that the contents of tht ag had been thor- ..uglily investigated. Hy whom? Ly the man against whom the telegram directed to Lawrence Hillward had w :i rned La t on ? Kver since his rceip f the te ;ram. Katon as he passed through the train in going to and from the diner or for other reasons- had been Irving covertlv to determine which. if an.vono, among the passengers, was the "one" who. the t eiogra in had warned him. was "following" him. for at first lie had interpreted it to e : mean thai one of "them'" whom he 1 had to fear must he .,n the iraiu.

"I am supposed to be resting," she explained quietly, accepting him as one who had the right to ask. "How is your father?' "Just the same; there may be no change, Doctor Sinclair says, for days, It seems all so sudden and so ter rible, Mr. Eaton. "You dog!" he mouthed. "Har ry, this is the man that did it."

Don't Let That Cold Turn Into "Flu" Rub on Good Old Mutterole That cold may turn into "Flu," Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con gested parts and see how quickly it brings relief. Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold. As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, it does the work without the blister. Just rub it on with your finger-tips. You will feel a warm tingle as it enter the pores, then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief. 35c and 65c. in jars and tubes.
