hEEn nE HENEGS

DEED OF DAEhNESS
Meanwhile, and in blissfnl Ignorance
of thc passing espionage of Rupert Ar
MIN, Mr.. Max Boydcn made his way
over to the extreme east side OF the city.
Having more than an hour to spare he
fore his appointment with Nicholas
Garland, he proceeded to sauntcr lcis
urely down Second avenue, the gloom
of the sparscly settled thoroughfarc in
that district according agrecably with
his present frame Of mind and atlOrding
him uninterrupted opportunity for
thought.
"All goes WE'LL" he said to himself,
with smile so complaccnt yet mirth-
less that the grimncss of his viciously
handsome face was increased a hundred
fold; "in my widest dreams l never
thought to light upon the girl so sud
denly. OF course she's IL dcuccd white
elephant on my hands, but still she
must be disposed of in some way, now
that l have her. While she is Mt large
she is an obstacle in my pathway"
He paused beneath lamppost, pro-
duccd II cigar, and struck IL light Then,
leaving the odor of fragrant smoke in
his wake, he walked on.
"The very existence of tho girl is n
menace at my future welfare" he con
tinued in Thought; but how to be rid
of her-that's the question! ] don't
want to soil my hands with her blood !;
she's a harmless brat enough, and
care no more for her death than | do
for her life. Fool! if she know what
was good for herself. she would marry
me and put herself out of danger. Lord
knows / would never trouble her.
Well, she has either got to consent to
become Mrs. Max Boyden, or get out
of the way for good and all. I'll talk
the matter over with Garland and see
what he has to propose. He's sharp
witted rascal"
Sunken in intent Thought, he scarcely
needed distant bell that tollcd the
halfhour and ten. Indeed he was only
made mindful of his proximity to the
place of rendezvous by being recalled
from his reveric by the grating of foot
steps upon the sidewalk of one of the
cross streets leading into the avenue.
Boyden glanced up casually and saw
the figure of Il man whom he did not
recognize; what he did not see, how
| ever, was that this same man paused
sharply Mt sight of him. and then
quickly slipped into the shadow of a
trec-truuk, to watch.
From that instant Boyden became a
marked man; though utterly uncon-
scious of the significant fact, he was
shadowcd by the stranger, whose figure
fitted after him with the silent persist
ence Of his own shade.
At the appointed corner, Boyden
deserted the ungainly figure of Nicholas
Garland awaiting him. The man was
leaning against the wall of the great
tenement that marks this corner of the
avenue, with the most innocent all
imaginable, and pulling away at little
black stub of pipe.
As Boydcn approached, Garland
touched his slouched hat, more from
force of habit than from any amount
of respect felt for his visitor, rs he re-
marked:
you're ahead of time
81 know it," replied Boyden, "but as
you are here, it makes no difference
docs it?"
Not the slightest. Follow me-"
