Mayor Penrose for creating a dis

himself a bad Indian, and was garnered
in by Marshal Shively after he had as

DeFrance went to Tama on the even
ing Northwestern passenger at 1880.
He had no sooner arrived that he
walked down the platform to where
Fred Bennett was talking with friend
and, without warning. struck Bennett
squarely between the eyes, causing a
severe confusion and breaking the skin
over the forehead. Marshal Shively
Immediately arrested him, and placed

CHAPTER v.

~1OR the space of a minute there
III was silence in the room; then
outside In the Still night three
clocks simultaneously chimed
IL, and their announcement was taken
up and echoed by half dozen others,
loud and faint hoarse and resonant,
for all through the hours Of darkness
the neighborhood Of Fleet street IS
alive with chimes.
Chilcote, startled by the jangle, rose
from his seat. Then, as IL driven by
an uncomfortable impulse, he spoke
again.
"You probably think am mad he
began.
Loder took his pipe out of his mouth.
II am not SO presumptuous," he said
quietly.
For o space the other eyed him 81.
lently, as IL trying to gauge his
thoughts. Then once more he broke
into speech.

night to make proposition. When l

self. Then you'll see Its possibilities.
as l did. Then" he paused and glanc-
ed around the room neryously, then
you'll accept it, as did," In the un-
easy haste Of his speech his words
broke Off almost unintelliglbly.
Involuntarily Loder lifted his head
to retort, but Chllcote put up his hand.
His face was set with the obstinate
determination that weak men some
times exhibit.
Before I begin I want to say that
am not drunk--that am neither mad
nor drunk" He looked fully at his
companion with his restless glance.
II am quite sane-quite reasonable"
Again Loder essayed to speak, but
again he put up his hand.

something Of your story. I'll tell you
something of mine. You'll be the

chance, and I chucked every chance
away"
There was strained pause, then
again Loder lifted his head.
"MorphiaY he said very quietly.
Chilcote wheeled around with
scared gesture. Flow did you know
that?" he asked sharply.
The other smiled. 1T wasn't guess
ing. 1t wasn't even deduction. You
told me or as good as told me in the
fog when we talked of Lexington.
You were unstrnng that night, and l.
well, perhaps one gets overobservant
from living alone" He smiled again.
Chilcote collapsed into his former
seat and passed his handkerchief
across his forehead
Loder watched him for space. Then
he spoke. "Why don't you pull up?'
he said. "You are young man still

Why don't you drop the thing before
1t gets too late?" His face was I'M
sympathetic, and below the question in
his voice lay note Of hardness.
Chilcote returned his glance. The
suggestion of reproof had .accentuated
his pellor. Under his excitement he
looked i'll and worn.
1'You might talk till doomsday, but
every word would be wasted" he said
Arritably. I'm past praying for by
something like six years"
"Then why come here?" Loder was
pulling hard on his pipe. "I'm not
dealer in sympathy"
II don't require sympathy" Chilcote
rose again. He was still agitated, but
the agitation was quieter. II want

The other turned and looked at him.

colby. You're either under a delusion
or you're wasting my time"
Chilcote laughed nervously. "Wait,"
he said. wait. only ask you to
wait. First let me sketch you my posi-
ton. 1t won't take many words"
MY grandfather was Chilcote OF
Westmoreland. He was one Of the
first Of his day and his class to recog-
nize that there was future in trade,

the family tree, he went south to Wark
