some indignation at the implied doubt
of me.
"Now about the investigation you de-
sire to engage in," Sonntag said,
changing the subject rather abruptly.
''What do you propose to do? How go
about it ?"
''Oh, hire some smart detective,"
replied. II suppose that will be the
only way. What else can I do?"
"Do you think the bank officials have
done nothing? Do you think you could
find any shrewder detectives than have
undoubtedly been working on the case?
If the bank with all it's tremendous re-
sources has not succeeded in running
the robbers down, how can you expect
to succeed when your limited means
would make your search merely a
superficial one?"
But, heavens, man! what am I to do ?
Carry this load to the grave? Why, Mr..
Sonntag, this suspicion of me, you can
not imagine what a horrible thing it is,
how it darkens my life!" I exclaimed,
in bitterness of spirit, as realized how
hopeless my case seemed.

was much impressed by the old fel-
lows words.
"You ought to have been detective"
I remarked, at which he turned his
sharp glance toward me and answered:
Eyes, might have done something
in that line. But prefer a quiet life"
Sonntag followed me out to the bug
gy. I took up the lines, but thought
occurred to me, and I delayed my de-
parture to voice it.
"Do you know Mr.. Morley?' asked.
mo, do not" was Sonntag's answer.
"Then where did you get your in
formation about that gentleman's de-
fense of me?"
"Oh, such news gets out sometimes.
Still, don't mind telling you. It was

tance, though. He comes here quite
frequently"
'How can he get away from the
bank?' asked.
"He is not employed there now.
Jackson has become quite wealthy, at
least SO he himself says. He has made
some big strikes speculating in coal
lands. He said he could not afford to
devote his time to the bank for paltry
salary when his interests outside had
grown so important. So he left about
five or six months ago."
'Then he did finally fulfill his threat

might expect his leaving at any timer"
remarked the lawyer, with a signifi-

II suppose so, or he would not have
reiterated his intention so frequently.
And he's become rich? No wonder.
He told me once he was interested with

CHAPTER TX,

After supper I lit cigar and walked
up and down in front of the house
During the meal Mrs. Snyder had KEEP
up an incessant chatter concerning the
mysteries about my house. I did no;
hear half her words, but nevertheless.
there was an element so foreign to my
thoughts in the few sentences caught
that was glad to escape her.
The evening shadows we're settling
over the valley, and the moon was ris.
ing in splendor.
Leisurely I tramped to and fro, Civ.
ing up my thoughts undisturbed to the
pleasant realizat ton of new-found hap
piness and to anticipations of future
joy in the constant companionship o1
my sweetheart.
The cigar finished, I repaired to my
room, with the intention of reading
But the evening was so fine that soor
blew out the light and sat down by the
window.
Then I remembered how, on rising
from the same chair the evening be-
fore, a tall, white specter had confront

thoughts caused me to glance some.

swaying to and fro in unison with the
motion of the rocking-chair in which
was seated.
Directly underneath was the cellar
whose solid walls, defying investigation
of the interior, had so impressed the old
nurse Sarah with an unreasonable fear
Even Sonntag, who, from his vocation
was accustomed to hold himself well in
hand against surprise, had exhibited
profound amazement when informed
of the circumstance.
1t was irritating to have thoughts
concerning the mysteries which seemed
to abound in the old homestead come
crowding up and play at atcross-purposes
with the happy state that the meeting
with Florence had induced.
The mysteries had seemed trivial in
the daytime, had been wholly forgotten
in Florence's society, but now that
was again alone and the night coming
on, the thought of the cellar came back
to me tinged with a shadow of fear
And the voice, the unearthly voice.

At1irstI had felt a hope that the vague
account given by Mrs. Snyder might
have something of truth in it. The un.
raveling of a chain of events which
seemed to border on the supernatural
would be a new experience to me, and
therefore furnish a diversion in the
quiet, uneventful life expected to lead
in Nelsonville.
But now I needed no such diversion
to lead my thoughts away from the rob
berry and it's blighting effect upon my
life and honor. I did not regard that
affair any longer as the one great bar.

ness, although the desire for exculpa.
ton was keener than ever.
I was sure of Florence's love and
trust, but I could not wish her sweet
self linked forever to one over whose
life cloud of suspicion hung. Her love
was an inspiration, an incentive; under
it's influence I hoped to accomplish re.
suits which even the vast resources OF
the bank had failed in.

energy possessed, to this one end was

with merry laugh, she gave her horse
