"It does" flashed Richard. You
thought I'd swallow that cock and

big as a football. Wen drop absurd

In vain Bills groveled at his mas
ter's feet, protesting his innocence with
sobs and tears. 1t was no use. The
evidence against him was too clear.
and, while Richard himself was the
real culpr.t In allowing the man to re-
main at Restmore at all. still, II he
ever hoped to recover the stolen prop

exhausted utterly. he took the terrified
valet by the collar and dragged him to
the door Of the bathroom.

terrible to Bills than any shout he had
ever heard. go In. ! say. and stay

The servant knew that his master
told the truth, so he sank down upon
the bare, cold tiles. where he lay in
limp distraction until such a time as
the terrible Texan came to pronounce
his doom.
Richard saw that the bathroom win
dow was far too small to admit Of the
mans escape. Then he closed and
locked the door. placed the back of a
chair beneath the knob and went
downstairs. In the lower hall he en-
countered Mr. Van der Awe, whose
mournful cast OF countenance seemed
but a foretaste of what fate had in
store for him.

The Texan crossed the lawn and
flung himself upon an iron bench. Then
he took his aching head between his
hands and cursed the English aristoc-
cracy from Alfred straight down the
glittering line to certain noble earl
who reposed In peace In comfortable
modern hospital with only broken
bone or two to cause him misery.

expressing his firm conviction that the
price was half the value Of the ma
chine and seven times the value of the
thief who drove it-and hurried into
the hospital. where he gave his name
and begged to be taken to his afflicted
son at once.
He was informed by the house sur

huskily. Then he opened the door,
closed It after him and tiptoed softly
across the room.
The father found himself In bare
walled little room that was scrupu-
lousy clean and neat. The shades were
drawn. yet by the dim religious light
he espied a bandaged form apparently
asleep upon narrow brass bed The
face of the patient was In shadow.
yet the Texan felt instinctively that
he had found his martyred son at last.
For a moment he could not speak His
emotions choked him, while two great
tears rose up and rolled unheeded
down his weather beaten cheeks. He
sank on his knees beside the bed.
stretched out his trembling arms and
murmured brokenly:

The Earl Of Croyland rolled over on
his back and stared at the sobbing APP
partition In wonder struck amaze. In
dropping into doze he had forgotten
to remove his monocle, which by years
of habit remained tight set In his no.
BILE eye.

Bill Williams still remained upon
his knees, his mouth wide open, into
which the two tears aforementioned
trickled UNDECIDED He was too be-
wildered fully to realize his ridiculous
position ali at once. That he had
travelled over 1000 weary miles for
the dubious pleasure Of kneeling by
the bedside of this glass eyed lunatic
was thought which at first refused
to percolate through his stunned cere-
brum. He returned the stare and an

The Earl of Croyland pulled the bell

In unruffied calm till the nurse APP

The nurse looked toward Bill Will

the visitor was otherwise disposed.
