1--WE just brought letter for Mr.
| Willmarth, sir. That's all"
This unconscious jostling of death by
life thrilled each of the three men and
made them look ut each other silently
Evidently the girl knew nothing of tho
| tragedy. The detective was first to look
for possible advantage in her igno-
| rance.
II hardly think you can see him just
now. he said ip friendly. reassuring
tone. lie had IA little trouble, ana is
very much engaged at present.
Kitty did not know what to do
"My grandfather, she said, told
me to be sure to give the letter into Mr.
Willmarth's own hand"
II will ascertain if you can see him, +"
offered the captain, graciously stepping
into the parlor out of sight, but remain
ing near the door inside to listen.
The uniformed policeman, apparently
peering out through the tinted panes of
glass at the side of the door, affected to
be absorbed in observation of what was
going on in the street. Kitty was made
to feel that she was practically quite
alone with the friendly detective, whose
official character was of course unknown
to her. He reopened the conversation:
$50 the letter is from your GRANDPA
ther?" he asked.
Eyes, sir. And he'll be wanting to
beat the life out of me if 1 don't take
him an answer back. He was tearing
mad last night with waiting up until
IL O'Clock expecting Mr.. Willmarth,
who never came, and he's like divil
let loose this morning, sir.
'Oh, that's the way with these big
bugs. They never care how much they
make other people wait. But l take no.
tice they don't like it when they are
kept waiting themselves. 1t was no
doubt matter of important business
for your grandfather to see him last
night, suppose. -
"Oh, yes. He was to pay GRANDPA
Their lot of money"
"Sol What do you call "a lot?'"
well, l don't rightly know how
much it was, but it was t..ousands
heard them talking about. -
'Them?' Who? Your grandfather
and Mr.. Willmarth?"
"Oh, no, sir; grandfather and my
father, sir. Mr.. Willmarth didn' t
come"
At this jsncture the captain stepped
out of the parlor again, and addressing
her pleasantly said:
"Mr. Willmarth is not able to see
you, but you can give me the letter and
will take it in.
She did not even think of hesitating
about compliance with an order from
the captain and promptly handed over
the letter, with which he again retired.
Inside the parlor door he tore it open
and read
Dick willmarth:
You have broken your word to me. Maybe
you think you can defy me, but you can't. III
make it cost you dearer yet. It's not s., 600
you'll pay me today, but 81. 200, and tomorrow
1t will be 5000. You know well that can get
as good from the other side for what I'm able
to tell, and it will be well for you not to push
too far the patience of
MICHAEL MCCARTNEY.
A verbal reply was given to Kitty,
conveying the impression to her mind
that the matter upon which her grand
father had written would be attended to
by Mr.. Willmarth Immediately, and she
was sent home, an officer seeing her
through the crowd and well on the way
to prevent her being spoken to by any
one in the mob who might have impart-

nual convention In Omaha in 1903, and Score
tary Bowling at that time will still be holding
down his $4,000 job, most Of which, by tho way,
Ia still due him for his labors for tho present
year. When It was known that tho COMMITTEES

vention out in Dryan's State few doubted that
