CHAPTER VII,

A week went by. The body Of Richart
N. Strong had been buried, and Alfred
WILDLY was considered the legal posses
sor Of his effects. WILDLY had not beer
seen on the streets or at his club since
the murder. It was on the eighth day
after the burial that Col. Warrenton
called to see him. He was shown up ia
Whidby's room.
The young man rose from the table
at which he was writing, and shook
hands with his friend. He was pale,
thin and nervous. His eyes were sunk
en-, his hair and dress untidy.
"Still up here in your new quarters,
said the colonel, sweeping the rather
small room with a glance. II thought
you'd move back to your old ROOM"
WILDLY shuddered. II don't care to
sleep there; by Jove, don't believe
could close my eyes,"
The two men had taken seats oppo-
site each other, and the lawyer empha-
sized his next remark by laying his
hand firmly on Whidby's knee. "My
boy, this will never do. You'd never
make soldier. You've got to rouse
yourself and shake it off. You'll lose
your reason II you go brooding over
this thing. TO tell the truth, you are
looking worse and worse every day,
Did you sleep last night?
"About two hours. all told" replied
WILDLY. 81 know am in bad shape. |
can see 1t and feel it."
Look here, my boy" the colonel
slapped Whidby's knee soundly, II
want you TO pull up and take a trip to
Europe. 1t will give you change of
scene and something else to think
about. You'll be a new man in month"
WILDLY rose and began to place his
papers in order on the table. I'D never
be able to think Of anything else, no
matter where ! was; and then it would
be like running away; by Jove, it would
be rlinning away. | am sure that I've
done wrong in keeping back that matter
from Hendricks. It's cowardly."
"You could tell them nothing that
would help them. and it would only
place you under deeper suspicion" the
lawyer replied.
"My God! I'd just as soon be in a
prison cell as here under the awful un-
certainty as to whether ! did it or not"
what did you say? What do you
mean?"
WILDLY walked slowly from the table
and laid his hand on his friends Shout

"Are you fool enough to think you

without being conscious Of theact? Be-
sides remember the smile on Strong's
face; you're obliged to admit"
That's exactly what puts me on this
line" WILDLY interrupted. ~ noticed

here Thursday that Mr.. North died ct Re-
no Tuesday morning. His health had
