feared his mind was affected, so 1
watched him through the curtains for
awhile after he went into the room

in deep thought, and then threw the
envelope into a waste-paper basket,

fully away"
"Ah, 1 see. Good, so far" exclaimed
Hendricks. 'Do you think you would
know that letter again."
81 don't know; perhaps so. 1t was in
large, square, blush envelope, and
the sheet was of the same color, and of
letter-paper size"
81 am glad you remember those de-
tails" said Hendricks. "Now let's in

laugh. I'm glad he isn't famous de-

long ago."

THE AMERICAN BOOK CON.
PANY INDICATED.

The suit for libel brought by the
American Book company against the
Kingdom Publishing company in the
United States court at Minneapo-
his, Mimi. for the publication of
pamphlet entitled "a Foe to Amer
lean Schools" by George A. Gates,
president of Iowa college. Grin
nell, Ia, in which the American
Book company was charged with
bribery and corruption in securing the
use of it's school book publications by
teachers and school officers throughout
the country resulted in verdict of
libel against the Kingdom Publishing
company, and the jury awarded the
American Book company substantial
damages.
The teachers and school officers
throughout the whole country are in
terested in this vindication of the
American Book company, because the
pamphlet intimated that many of them
accepted brides from the agents of this
company, and as it's publications are
used in a very large majority of the
public schools, it is surely gratifying
to the army of educators using them
10 De tuuS renewed from the suspicion
of corruption of which they are directly
accused by the author of the pamphlet
A striking feature of the evidence
presented at the trial was the apparent
connection of rival publishers with the
charges made by President Gates in the
pamphlet. These rivals or their agents
evidently fabricated some of the stories
out of whole cloth. During the trial
it was disclosed in the testimony of
H. w. Gleason, business manager for
the defendant, that 1000 copies of the
first edition of the said pamphlet were
furnished to the office of CHM q Co.,
Chicago, ILL.,, by order of President
Gates, the author. This and other like
facts impaired to the case strong in
dication of conspiracy to injure the
character and business of the American
Book company for the benefit of a COM
petitor.
1t is understood that the American
Book company has already instituted,
or proposes to institute, similar legal
proceedings against other parties in
strumental in the preparation and cir.
culation of this pamphlet.

CHAPTER XIII.

Hendricks called a cab at the door
and drove to the office of Capt. Welsh.
He found Welsh pacing The floor in a
fever of Impotence.
81 thought you would never turn up
in the world" said Welsh, as they took
seats. ct seems to me that everything
is at standstill. The city is wild with
excitement and demanding that some
thing be done.''
Hendricks shrugged his shoulders as
if he had only half heard the remark
and had been disturbed in some train of
thought. He reached for a cigar in a
box on the captains desk, bit the end
of it, and then seemed to sink into a
reverie again.
Welsh stared at him a moment in
vexation, then he said:
81 was on the watch myself at the
mayors last night. About ten o'clock
saw Mrs. Walters slip out on the lawn.
She came very cautiously from the
rear Of the house. saw her stoop to
pick up something near where your UNI
brella was left, and then she returned
by the front door,"
Hendricks nodded slowly, but did not
look up from the spot on the carpet
at which he had been staring for sew
eral minutes. Welsh flushed slightly
and went on awkwardly:
81 had expected to find out lot about
her early life from lady friend OF
mine, but, as bad luck will have it,
the lady has left the city for the sum-
mer, and 1 don't exactly know where
ho hos I Of
ing her up and going to see her, if you
think"
Hendricks rose abruptly.
81 must write a letter." he said. ''Give
me some paper, please"
Welsh's face fell as he rose and drew
some writing materials from a drawer
and put them before the detective.
"Do you want me to cease my investi-
gations?" he asked, impatiently.
Hendricks dipped a pen in the ink
well, and as he did 50 he looked up and
caught sight of the captains face.
"Oh. hang it all, captain!" he said
pardon me; have not heard half of
what you were saying. I only caught
enough at the start to know that you
were not on the right track. Let the
| woman alone for awhile. Do you re-
member said that if discovered GER
tain things about mysterious
stranger in the city I should have to
begin all over again?''
| "ies. certainly, but"
Il have begun all over again." And
Hendricks began to write hurriedly.
Can help you in any way?"
Il am afraid not now, captain. a
little later, perhaps; but time is too val
liable just now for useless explana-
tions; every minute must count. This
is the hardest nut I ever tried to crack -
| Welsh said nothing further He sank
into a chair and looked out of a win
dow till Hendricks had finished and
sealed his letter.
/ Now" said the detective, as he rose
and grasped his hat, 81 am going out
for little lunch, and then I have an
appointment. I shall see you later

At two o'clock Hendricks rang the
bell at the Strong homestead. WILDLY
himself opened the door.
SIS Miss Delmar here?" asked the de-
teetive.
answered WILDLY. "She is in the IL
brary."
"Good!" said Hendricks. 'Now for
business" he went on, cheerily, as he
entered the library and bowed to Miss
Delmar. 'Move up your chairs, both
of you. There, that will do. Now,
here's what 1 want to get at. Col.
Warrenton was good enough to put me
on to little circumstance which he
says he has not mentioned to you, Mr..
WILDLY, but which we must sift to the
bottom. 1t may lead us to a motive
for the crime, and that is what we
are looking for. Do you happen to
know if your uncle had an enemy of
any sort?'
WILDLY shook bis head thoughtfully.
81 can't think who it could be, if he
had one," he said. "On the contrary,
uncle seemed to make friends with
everyone"
''You don't know much about Mr..
Strong's early life which he spent in the
mines out west, I believer"
''No, don't. He did not speak of it
cften."
ct is possible, you know, for him to
have an enemy even that far back.
remembers your uncle's having a
strange visitor here year or so ago,
while you were at the seashore. 1t
seems that Mr.. Strong had sort of
quarrel with him, and, for some reason
of his own, he requested Matthews not
to mention the visitor to you. Now,
we must find that fellow if we can"
But how are you going to do it?''
asked Miss Delmar.
''That's what I'm here for" replied
Hendricks. "And you are both going to
help me. Now, that visitor came here
and threatened Mr.. Strong about some
thing, so Matthews says, and one who
will threaten a man to his face is apt
to do so in other ways. Mr.. WILDLY,
do you remember ever having seen your
uncle receive any letter which seemed
to disturb him at all?''
WILDLY reflected a moment, then he
looked up with a start.
Yes; L had not thought of it before,
but my uncle has once or twice acted
peculiarly after receiving letters. About
month ago he opened a letter at the
breakfast table and seemed almost to
turn sick over it. He was white and
trembled all over. 1 asked him what

him, and wanted to send for doctor,
