CHAPTER XXXI.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
7 ATER on it was brought out that
- the murderer had indeed proved
the rule about the fascination Of
the scene Of the crime fer the criminal.
He had hung about Deep Hole, haunt
ing the place almost day and night
Having been so nearly caught by
the station agent in Corn Centre when
he tried to cash Dicks express money
orders, he had returned to the pool and
hung around there until DICKS meeting
with him at the spot. He had remained
until the night before the grand jury
meeting.
The hearing had tempted him as be-
ing a sequel to his own desperate
deed. He had trusted to his disguise
to prevent his being recognized by any
but the prisoner. and had by some
means worked himself into the careless
ly guarded grand jury room
How he had managed to escape cap
ture so long remained a complete mys-
terry. While nothing could be wrung
from the criminal to prove the suspi-
cion the suspicion came to exist that
Sheriff Spratt had known something OF

Right at this point the meeting Of
the grand jury adjourned automaucal-
ly. The foreman had started to make
an official apology, but ended by apollo
giving personally, while the jurors and
witnesses pressed about to congratulate
the late prisoner and beg his pardon
for anything they had ever done or said
against him.
1t was while this process was. going
on that Dicks eye fell upon a fieeting
bit OF cloth that he recognized more
quickly than he had recognized the
face OF Colonel Thomas Martin. One
person was leaving the court room
from somewhere in the Tar rear, with
out stopping to shake hands with the
released prisoner.
That person was wearing the suit Of
clothes in which Dick Blake had landed
in Corn Centre.
Quick! quick Dick yelled. stop

~ THE FACE HE KNEW y

ted.
The only things that poirted TO any
intercourse between the sheriff and the
murderer were the criminals long inn
munlty, his knowledge of the time Of
ehe grand 'ry meeting, and the fact
tldt only haI- the money Robert Mar
I'm had drawn in Beattyville was ever
recovered, while Sprstt and Wright
ooth paid eff heavy mortgages on their
farms inside the succeeding half year.
1t was not enough to base an indict-
ment upon, or even an arrest But the
suspicion lost Spratt the reelection 10
oIlce In the fall, and IL is to be hoped
that Martinsburg gained a better sheriff.
But to GO back to the affairs Of Mr..
Richard Blake.
Col. Thomas Martin seemed unable to
satisfy himself in the matter of re-
pairing the damage he had wrought by
MS perfectly inculpable failure to rec
ognize Dick in the first place. He in
sisted that Dick go with him TO his
home and spend the remainder of his
vacation there
To Dick this seemed nothing less than
an imposition. He refused TO accept the
invitation untl the colonel made it
apparent that he would feel deeply
wounded by his continuing to refuse.
In yielding to the old mans earnest
desire Dick was in nowise slow to
realize the pleasant possibilities Of so
long a stay in Martinsburg. II Is hard
" necessary to add that he improved
those possibilities to the utniost:
on the night that was to be his last
in the State, If he would get back to
his work In New York. he summoned
the courage Of desperation and asked
Miss Louise. Martin TO promise to be-
come his bride.
He did this about as awkwardly.
miserably and hopelessly as It is usu-
ally done. When she gave the prom
ise without hesitation he was the most
surprised man in Kentucky.
There followed a long conversation,
the general import of which is perfect-
~ well known to every woman who has
ever become engaged to be married.
Most men have discreetly forgotten that
they were ever guilty Of such nonsense.
The grandfather clock mad struck
y nearly an hour before. Dick realized
that but a short time was left to him.
Not the first time you ever saw
me?' Dick was asking in surprise.
Why, that was when you helped ar
rest me for" He stopped without
mentioning the cause of the mourning
she wore. You thought I was muir
derer them
Il didn't help arrest you" the girl
protested. Il knew I could not prevent
your arrest. I knew l could offer no
reason for trying 10 do so. The moment
saw your face / knew you were-the
man. loved. I never even suspected
Not even when tLey told you I had
admitted knowing where the money
was hidden?" Dick half leased.
Mono. No, of course l didn't /
know [ didn't How could l. when /
With which unanswerable argument
duly dOwned, Dick took her into his
arms for one more embrace.

/ The jury, in amazed indignation,
called the prisoner to order. But Dick
was gazing at the sudden red which
had mounted the coloners cheeks, and
did not hear the stern reproof Of the
foreman.
What do you mean?" the sheriff
rOared. still more angry that his au-
thority seemed not even to interest the
prisoner.
I mean that / met Col. Robert Mar
tin in New York on the night that this
murder was committed Dick shouted
in triumph
But his triumph was quickly changed
to astonlshment as he saw the colonel
wriggling uneasily IN his chair ana
getting steadily reddeT in the face. In
his mind there vas nothing but horror
for the occasion Of their having seen

Colonel Martin" the foreman asked
gravely, is this true?
The old man seemed about 20 choke
before he could bring himself TO reply.

Don't you know whether you have
met this prisoner-whether you met him
on the night in question:
I know / never heard OF him be-
fore-but / might have seen him. The
colonel still squirmed.
What were the circumstances The
judge put this question looking at Col.
Thomas MartiS. but, getting no re-
Spouse from the respected member Of
the community, turned 20 Dick.
Last Saturday night. in New York

pleased TO discover that there was an
other man of sufficient decenCy to be
Disguised with the exhibition. His whole

cleanness.
He looked at me only once during
the descent of the elevator, and / do

KNOWLES REFUSES

- y the Saturday evening previous
70 Dicks last Sunday in New
York he had asked Jimmy
Whately to so with him TO a
show.
He had let the clerk select the play.
lie himself was usually more inclined to
spend the hot summer evenings on a
bench along Riverside Drive than in
show places.
When, therefore Jimmy had suggested
that they take in the Eldorad0 Roof
Garden. he had readily acquiesced,
knowing nothing about the character Of
the entertainment.
He had stayed through two Of the
vaudeville acts, growing more Disguised
with each OF them The third had been
such that he wondered its production
was permitted. At the middle he got
up and started for the elevator, telling
Jimmy he could stay If he wished
AS he had waited for the car 10 come
up he had noticed an elderly gentleman
approaching, evidently with the same
purpose as his own, and, if the look Of
disguised approval told anything, for
the same reason as had prompted Dick
10 leave.
He had been more especially impress
sed by the fact that the broad-brimmed
hat and gray frock coat Of the stranger
indicated his having come from far out
Of town.
MICtlCE justly or not the impression
has gone abroad that the cOuntryman
on visit to the city gets a huge
amount of enjoyment from the less
reputable acts in the playhouses. Per-
hapa this is merely a jest of the Rialto;
perhaps the notion has arisen like hun
dreds Of other ill-founded hearsays.
Dick had had little opportunity TO
know Of the sporting tastes Of country
men, and naturally took the newspaper
stories for about their face value. To
see a man, obviously from distant parts,
exhibiting a very decent disgust with
a quite indecent show had surprised and
impressed him.
The old man had shown his shame by
keeping his eyes glued 70 the floor or
the garden and that of the elevator.
Dick had had good opportunity to study
the fine features Of the face.
Only once had the country gentleman
glanced up and met Dicks eyes. He
had instantly let his own fall again.
Perhaps the reader does not need 10
be told that the face which thus
stamped itself upon Dick Blacks mem
ory was that OF Col. Thomas Martin.
II had taken that look of disapproval,
Of Well-nigh disgust with. and shame
for, his niece's conduct TO bring back
TO his mind IN a fash the whole cir
cumstance of where he had seen the
face before.
And the sudden knowledge. with its
out Of all his difficulties, caused Dick
TO forget entirely the dignity of the
grand Jury, the place in which he sat
everything but that for which his mind
had been searching so long in vain.
II have it, have Il" he had cried.
