 By the wax" said Beckwith. 'Fve sent word to Trafford that I'm back. and that we want this thing closed up and polished off.

Oh. here they are now. I guess Awful sorry if I've incommoded the doctor in asxing him. to come here he added. with a most scandaiously familiar wink to Judith.
 Really said Trafrord after greet .inGs had been exchanged. T don't think 1t was quite necessary for me to come. for I don't believe there's a thing that Mir. Beckwith couldn't ex- plain to you better than I'm able to-
 Possibly. possibly admitted Beck with. but. at the same time. there'll be a peculiar interest in hearing at first hand some account of your pro- cesses. and I shall be glad to submit them to an analysis such as only a lawyer can be expected to give them" |"
 Trafford smiled. and. went on:
 Perhaps it's time to own up that while. I never did have a shred of sus- picion regarding Mir. CaIden. I can't say that quite as strongly regarding Horace Still. almost from my first interview with him that vanished. and I saw that his whole trouble was that he suspected his father. and was lay ing out the ground. as he thought to step into his place if that suspicion was certified"
 'T shall never forgive myself those suspicions,' said Horace. penitently.
 s-Oh. yes. you will.'' Beckwith as- sured him. 'Why. do you know that but for my legal training might have fallen into the same error myself? There's really only one thing unfor- eivable. and that is to engage a coun- sel and not give him vour confidence. That strikes at the very foundation of society,"
 "Perhaps we were all a little foolish about the business said Mir. Calden. "and I'm free to admit thst I ought to have known Horace better than to have had a moments suspicion of him: but 1t was pretty hard lines for all of us. especially with Trafford here.

hanging ove- us like inexorable fate. ready to strike the first chance he saw. Perhaps. on the whole. we did as we'll as most folk would under the same circumstances.'
 But when did you get on the track of Clayton?'' asked Horace. He never quite seemed a surprise to you. MT. Tranord."
 "No. There were. too many points that none of the rest of you quite measured up to. Of course. it took time to strsighten you all out. Thus. for several days I thought it was Hor- ace who -telephoned. but when I came to fit it in with other things that I had got into their places it threw the whole thing out of kflter. But. of course. thePe never was a moment when that note and the appointment for Tuesday weren't before my eyes The very fact that I could get nothing regarding the visit. whether it had been made or not. whether it was at the house pr the usual place. was suspicious. as showing the extraordi- nary pains taken to conceal 1t. If visit there actually was. The stranger who gave the drink to Dsyid was also significant. In spite of all my preoau- tions against Dreconcefved theories I could never persuade myself that the Incident which took David away from the farm that particular night was a mere coincidence"
 But who was it gaves him the drink. after all?"
 Clayton. of course. Those papers. which. if we had them before. would have shown us. how Clayton had for years been threatening Altenburg and living on the money he extorted from him. would have been a tremendous weapon in Clayton's- hands. He was after them. and after the money as well. of course. He made his plans Tuesday night and he spent wednes- day in perfecting them. We, shall never know. but I'm clear he didn't intsnd to kill Altenbure. In fact. if he could get the papers and the money AItenburg was worth more to him alive than dead. That money was only a fraction of what Altenburg could com kinand and if Clayton was in posses sfon of the papers and could get away Altenburg would have been a gold mine. As it Is. Altenburg's accounts show that he had given Clayton near ly a hundred thousand dollars in the preceding ten years. By the way. it's interesting how AtenburE was bound

about those papers for?"
 Because" answered Trafford. they'll prove the innocence of a man accused or great crime that that dead wretch there committed: because they'll save wife and daughter. who've been faithful to the accused for ten years from sorrow and trouble. and because they're of no earthly use to you" Are you an offcer?"
 Yes. and one that would catch you if he could"
 Well. you're a trump. anyway" came back. They don't make 'em that way often and the breed ought to be encouraged. If we put the pa- pers there will you give us your word or honor you won't cross for ten min- utes that when you do you'll just take away the Ds pers and the dead man and that you won't attempt to follow us?"
 By God. mo-" roared the officer.
 Yes" called Trafford.
 'All right!" came back. That bloke don't count. anyway. An OK team couldn't get him across here. He isn't to come. anyway. If he steps foot on this side he's a dead man. Begin to count time!" The pole was thrust out. the papers i laid beside the dead body and Traf- ford stood on the bank. watch in hand. The officer walked back toward the bushes. but said to the chauffeur as he passed him:
 You'll so over and help them. The scoundrels won't hurt you. but they'll drill me. sure's shooting" At last Trafford cailed: Times upi We're comingi" No answer came and Trafford. Grim bleshaw and the chauffeur crossed the log. As soon as they reached the body. which lay stone dead. where it had fallen. Trarord seized the papers and passed them to Grimbleshaw.
 Keep them for Miss Judith" ke said If I know her. they'll be the best wedding present you can make her"
 But Grimbleshaw stood speechless. looking at the dead man. Twice be tried to speak and twice failed to find his voice Then. with a final effort. he gnsped:
 Who in Gods name Is this?"
 'This?" answered Trafford. "oh, this is John Altenburg. the murderer of Noah Clayton. I've known for a fort- night that it wasn't he who was killed at Lanceboro.'

by his old methodical habits. Why.
 his papers were almost a transcript of the Venezuela's transactions. and the greater part of them had no earthly value. excepting to endanEer him. Yet. evidently. he couldn't bring himself to destroy them"
 And he didn't even know that an. indictment was barred and that he
 could have defed Clayton for years. :
 said Beckwith. with clearly marked disgust.
 "Oh. lawyers are not the only ones who bank on the want of legal train i ing in the general public suggested
 Trafford. However. criminal indiet-
 ment was not the only thing that a man in Altenburg's position had to fear, and eenfainIy he'd have been. in a bad way if Clayton had got hold of those papers. Aside from the drink to David. the only possible indication bof stranger that could get was the
 evidence that some one had slept in the attic. and that might have been MT. Calden."

Hair RemOVerS

Ladies should be most particular in
choosing a hair remover and learn first
what reputable authorities know about it.
In treating superfluous hair it is of
vital Importance that the agent to be EN-
ployed should be absolutely non-poison-
Gus. antiseptic and germicidal because if
it Is not so with frequent use it will pro-
duce eczema or blood poisoning.
De Miracle is the only hair remover that
offers proof that 1t is harmless. safe and
sure. Don't be deceived by startling state
snents made by fake FREE advertisers
