A Kna.v,, 4, Of
Conscience
By FRANCIS LYNDE.
Copyright 800, BY Francis Lyvke.1
CHAPTER XXI.

II tell you, Griswold, there is no
doubt about it; we have Jasper
Grierson to thank for every move in
this block game of ours. Every dol
lars worth of work that we have
lost has been taken away from us
by his orders: and when we shall
come to the heart of this strike bust
ness we shall find out that he is at
the bottom of that"
private office of the iron works, dis
cussing the discouraging outlook in
general and the ultimatum of the
workmen in particular, and thus far
Griswold had been unable to offer
any helpful suggestion.
II don't like to believe that, Ned"
he protested. 1T is terrible charge
to bring against any man. Besides,
what motive could he have?"
1.-THE one motive he has for every
thing he does-greed. He meant to
swallow me whole when he lent ME
the money for the enlargement of
the plant. You stepped in and
sIoPPeu tnaC, ana now ne means to
swallow both of u.s."
Griswold shook his head. 81 can't
conceive the hardness of it, Ned"
IF you should accuse him of hard
ness it would make him laugh in
your face. He would say it was
business. But that is nothing to
him. He is something more than a
driver on the Juggernaut-car of
business. He is a robber, out and
out, and one who sticks at nothing.
Have you heard of that deal he is
engineering with the old banker from
New Orleans?''
what banker?"
"Old Andrew Galbraith, of the
Bayou State bank"
If Griswold did not turn pale at
the mention Of Andrew Galbraith's
name it was because his facg was al
ways colorless. Yet he forced him.
self to ask the question:
II haven't heard of it; wh,* is it?"
Jefferson is about to stick the old
Scotchman for cool million in the
Red lake pine lands. You know
what they're worth-or, rather, how
utterly worthless they are"
"Oh, think you must be mistaken,
Ned. It would be sheer robbery"
II am not mistaken; it came as
straight as a string. It is family
matter and I ought not to mention
it even to you. Young Blanton drew
up the papers and, as you may have
guessed before this, he and Gertie
have no secrets from each other.
The deal is all but closed"
Griswold went silent at that. Sit
ting quiet for so long that Raymer
wondered a little, and would have
wondered a great deal if he could
have known what lions net of re-
sponsibility his bit of information
had flung over the silent one.
Truly, of all men living, Kenneth
Griswold should have been the last
to feel any conscientious promptings
toward the saving of the man whom
he himself had robbed; and yet the
promptings were there, full-grown
and insistent. He was still wrestling
with them when the noon whistle of
the iron works Jared generously
upon the air, and Raymer got up and
walked to the window commanding
view of the gates. And it was
Raymer's voice that broke his rev.
erie.
1T has come" said the ironmaster:
and Griswold quickly joined him at
the window.
The men were filing soberly out
at the great gates with their dinner
pals and other belongings. The
strike was on.

CHAPTER XIII.

1t was late in the afternoon of one
of the matchless summer days when
Griffin became an involuntary Crusoe.
It was in the second week of the
strike and the fourth of his sojourn
in Wahaska, and being no nearer the
solution Of his problem than he was
on the day of theory-framing when
he had made sure that Charlotte
Farnham's robber-lover would in due
time make his appearance, he had
fallen into the way of killing time
in rowboat on the lake. 1t was
weary work, this waiting for man
who might never turn up, and there
was limit to the satisfaction to be
gotten out of prying into the affairs
of q small city whose history one
might read as he ran. So Griffin
took to the rowboat and the lake,
pulling slow-races against time,
wrestling with his problem mean
while, and calling himself hard
names; saying that it was only the
inertia of the place, and not the
hope of success, which was keeping
him.
In the afternoon of the Crusoe
hazard he had pulled out to the islet
in the middle of the lake, had drawn
the light boat up on the sand and
had climbed the low bluff to smoke
the pipe of reflection in the shade
of the trees. It was here, with his
back to the bole of a great oak, that
sleep found him, shifting the pipe
from his teeth and blotting out the
hour in which the sun was sinking
behind the western hills and the
wind was rising. From this sleep
unawares he was awakened by the
whipping Of the branches overhead
and the crash of tiny breakers ON
the beach; and when he came alive
to the realities he sprang up quick
~ and ran down to the little cove
where he had left the boat; ran and
looked and congratulated himself
ironically; for the boat was gone.
by Jove! ought to have leath-
or medal for this, and I'll get it if
they ever find out at headquarters"
he jeered. '*Hello, there! Boat
ahoy!" -. ~.
A small cat-boat with two women
and q man in it was scudding down
the lake, and the involuntary Cru
soc yelled himself hoarse. But the
wind was against him, and the cat
boat held its course toward Wa

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED

From apostrophising the man to
observing his movements at long
range was but step, and Griffin
whipped a field-glass from his pocket
and focused it upon the boat and
the Farnham pier. He saw the big
sail SILVER down, and moment later
Griswold handed the two young
women up to the pier. There was a
little pause, apparently of expostu-
lance, on the part of the women,
and then the big sail went up again,
Tapping and shivering in the wind
like a huge white flag. The cat-boat
edged away from the pier, fell of,
came about, and pointed it's sharp
cutwater straight for the island.
Griffin shortened the glass and
dropped it into his pocket.
"Well, now; that's more than good
natured," he muttered. "You may
be a robber of banks. Mr.. Griswold,
but you've got kind heart in YOU
When the rescuer's purpose to
bring up under the lea of the island
became evident the castaway scram-
bled down the low bluff and made
his way around the southern point,
to be ready to climb aboard. The
boat doubled the northern sand-spit
and it was waiting for him in the
sheltered cove behind the island

Griffin could make it and did; and
moment afterward the cat-boat
shot out from the island shelter, put
her lee gunwale under and showed
her bottom strake to the setting sun
Griffin crawled aft and balanced him

The prophecy was fulfilled in both
halves, but the detective held his
breath more than once before the
cat-boat had thrashed it's way
through the perilous middle passage
of the open lake to the calmer waite,
in Wahaska bay. At the pier he
helped his rescuer make fast and
stow the sail, and they walked up
