CHAPTER xxxlil.
A Mendacious God.

A Mendacious God.
Here's a message for you, Jessie!
The man says he will wait for an an
swer. I'm just dying from curiosity"
Jessie Garden was reading when
Edith Hancock rushed into her room.
Too impatient to wait, she leaned
over. Jessie's shoulder The note bore
the letterhead of a hotel and was
written in firm but scrawling hand,
1t read:
Miss Jessie Garden,
"Mr. James Blake has been serious
ly wounded by pistol shot and may
not recover. He wishes to see YOU
If possible, come at once.
SAMUEL l.. ROUNDS"
When the purport of the message
paper from Jessie's hand and de-
voured it with straining eyes.
He may not recover! she moaned.
He may not recover! Oh what has
happened? l am going to him! He
shall. not die! Hurry, Jessie, hurry"
Two white-faced girls rushed in
upon General Garden. His lips COM
pressed as he read the message.
This is Morris work" he said.
Tell the messenger we will come at
| once"
The hotel entrance was blocked by
a mob when the Bishop carriage drew
up. The blue helmets of police of"
ficers formed a line which marked
| the edge of a struggling crowd.
One moment, sir" ordered an Of
ficer holding his baton in front of Gen
eral Garden. Make way for the am
bulance corps!"
The folding doors of the side en-
trance opened and four men slowly
advanced bearing stretcher. 1t con-
with a white cloth. Jessie chung to
her fathers arm.
With low cry Edith Hancock
sprang forward and raised the cloth.
She looked into the dead, staring eyes
of Arthur Morris. The bearers paus-
ed while she gaZed intently at the
face. She nervously replaced the COW
ering and turned to Jessie and her
father.
It's Arthur Norris He's dead.
Perhaps it is all a mistake about Mr..
Blake Find out general find out
at once! Well wait for you here"
oil ntI
ly conducted Jessie and Edith to a
room on the second floor.
A case of surgical instruments lay
on the center table, but the room had
70 occupant AS they stood hesitat-
ingly by the entrance, the door con-
Meeting an adjoining room opened
and a tall man with red hair, sharp
blue eyes and enormous hands enter
ed. Jessie recognized Sam Rounds.
"Heou dew ye do" he said softly,
advancing with an awkward bow.
Sorry tew meet you in such a place,
but the bitter goes with the sweet.
Jim's badly hurt, out he has chance
so the doctors say"
| In whispers the TOUR TAXED OF tne
tragedy. Sam mad entered the hotel
office just before the first shot was
fired.
1T all happened so quick couldn' t
do a thing" Sam explained. THE
second shot fired by Morris just miss
ed-some one else-some one Jim
was tryin' tew save-an' went
through the top of Mr. Hawkins hat
Morris was dead before he struck the
floor"
The door opened and grave-faced
surgeon entered the room.
Miss Garden may see Mr.. Blake
for few minutes he said.
In the dimly lighted room Jessie
Garden saw two figures-one propped
up with pillows so that only the head
and arms showed against the white
linen. The curling. black locks fell
back from the pale brow, and the
handsome face seemed chiseled In
purest marble.
