CHAPTER XIII
(Continued)

The young man watched the
stranger on the beach as he ad-
vanced rather slowly toward the
boat. The walk from the opening
in the woods whence he had
emerged to the waters edge was
about 100 feet. AS the man reach
ed the hard sand on the lower
beach he paused, and then, to Rog-
er's great surprise, started toward
a small promontory some 200 feet
nearer to the mouth of the cove.
Watch him now" said the de-
tective to Roger. HE walks to
that point to take a good look out
at sea; when he reaches it he will
be much nearer us. and then you
give the glasses to the attorney and
let him study the gentleman on
the sands"
HE has mighty fine looking
figure" cried Roger suddenly. "He
is very erect; he is very graceful;
heh is coming down the beach,"
STEADY. Steady" said Cakes.
How is he graceful, Roger? Is it
his figure only"
The young man took one more
look and started to speak. mo, his

stantly.
Give the glasses to the attor-
ney."
The lawyer took them, and TO-
cused them upon the rapidly ad-
vancing man. "By George!" he ex-
claimed in a moment or two. "I've
seen that walk before"
Yes" cried Roger, no longer
able to control himself. "It's the
walk; it's the walk"
Good" cried Cakes. "You both
agree now. What about that walk,
Mr.. Attorney"
The lawyer studied moment.
''It's very GRACEFUL long stride,
body erect, and carried easily"
How do the feet act?" asked
Quintus Cakes.
II really don't know; they don't
seem to rise much
Roger, what do the feet do?"
Roger took the glasses now.
"They come out far in 'front.'" he
cried. "They don't go so far back
as usual; his feet glide forward;
it's a curious walk"
That's it," assented the attor-
ney, that's it,"
Roger was now excitedly MUIR
muring to himself. His body
doesn't roll. It's the same, but it
isn't; it's the same-but the body

His body doesn't roll. bat the
legs step, glide just the same"
1.-THE same as what?" Queried the
attorney.
At that moment the man on the
beach reached the point and sud
denly jumped onto large fat rock,
looked around. and glided back,
half running toward his boat.
Roger dropped the glasses from
his hands, and turning, looked at
Cakes in amazement, his face pale
with excitement.
Its he-yet 1t cant be he; how
can It be-" He's dead!"
who is it--who is dead?" ask
ed Cakes in feigned surprise.

err; Its his walk; his run
The attorney spoke up: That's
it; it's his walk; there is where

Cakes looked at them both. Gen
tlemen, my case Is winning. 1t is
not Montgomery Stones walk; he
is dead. 1t is the prison walk, and
this man was in prison with Mont
gomery; the walk was common to
them. 1t is the walk that hangs to
a man after he has been in some
prisons-the long lasting evidence
that he once walked as criminal
with other prisoners"
In answer to a quick question
from Roger, Cakes brifly explained
that the peculiar, graceful, for
ward movement of the legs is &C.
quired when the criminals walk
behind one another, their hands
upon the shoulders of the man be-
fore them, their bodies erect. 1t
becomes necessary to glide the feet
forward, lest they tread on their
comrades heels. And instructive
ly they shorten their step in the
back-lifting it slightly quicker
than does an ordinary man. They
do this lest the man behind tread
on them-it becomes second ma
ture." =
Eyes, yes: that was the way
Montgomery did-but he rolled
sideways" said the attorney

modified by his seafaring life after
his liberation; then again, he was

Injected the man on the beach with
prison life. Look at him now?
What is he up to- He has, halted"
Theh man on the sands seemed
to be gazing across the cove out at
sea-he apparently noticed the cat
boat and the men within 1t, but
seemed satisfied that they were
only fisherman. 1t VS. the two boats
further out at sea that seemed to
rivet his attention mostly, and
those in the craft with Cakes saw
that the men in the whaleboat were
through with their fishing and APP

If he sails that he will be recOg-
nized-that he movements will be
too easily followed"
"Quintus Cakes raised himself to
his full height and peered intently
at the man on the beach. Captain,
the mans a bad man-but he is in
trouble; it's misery and anguish
that are making him walk the
beach like that. He was respected
man once-years go-heh is think
ling about 1t now"
Look" cried Roger, che is ex.
amining the boat now. He has
found the injury.
1t was true. The figure on the
beach was now STOPPING over the
side of the little craft and examin-
ing the bottom. There were rocks
of considerable size near the
waters edge, and he could be seen
looking at these and studying the
surroundings carefully. Then again
heb began to pace the beach, his
head bowed and his hands clasped
behind him, till turning, he disap.
peared into the woods whence he
had come.
"He has discovered the hole in
the bottom-he thinks the tide has
pounded the boat on those rocks"
said Cakes. Now let's return, cap
tain-there are only few hours
left.
The sail back was quick one,
the breeze was fresh and the light
house was soon rounded. The at
torney seemed to be too deeply alb.
sorbed in his own thoughts to par
take in the limited conversation.
Finally he spoke, addressing

Excluded? Why?"
"a doctor modern enough in edu-
cation to know Of this poison,
would be too clever to use it-he
would realize that the effect on the
appearance of the poisoned man
and on the heart would be too dis
tinctive, too conclusive, too suspi-
ciOus; he would know too much of

would take proper cognizance Of

LABoR-AND THE BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA


In these days when millions of men idle hear
