CHAPTER XVIII.
Tramp and the Toothache.

A Tramp and the Toothache.
The bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed
to grow with time. Never popular, his
memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing, but who were filled
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping
avarice
But, like everything else those days,
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We did not
mention Jack Bailey; l had found
nothing to change my impression of
his guilt, and Gertrude knew how
felt AS for the murder of the bank
presidents son, I was of two minds.
One day l thought Gertrude knew or at
least suspected that Jack had done it;
the next l feared that it had been Ger
trude herself, that night alone on the
circular staircase. And then the
mother of Lucien Wallace would OBJ
trude herself, and an almost equally
good case might be made against her.
There were times, of course. when |

picions aside, and fix definitely or the

l had my greatest disappointment
when it came to tracing Nina Caring
ton. The woman had gone without
leaving trace. Marked as she was,
it should have been easy to follow her,
but she was not to be found. A de-
scription to one of the detectives. on
my arrival at home, had started the
ball rolling. But by night she had not
been found l told Gertrude then.
about the telegram to Louise when she
had been i'll before; about my visit to
DR.. Walker, and my suspicious that
Matte Bliss and Nina Darlington were
the same. She thought, as l did, that
there was little doubt of it.
l said nothing to her, however, of
the detectives suspicious about Alex.
Little things that had not noticed at
the time now came back to me | had
an uncomfortable feeling that perhaps
Alex was a spy, and that by taking
him into the house l had played into
the enemy's hands But at eight
o'clock that night Alex himself ap-
peared, and with him a strange and re-
pulsive individual They made a queer

|. Gertrude had been sitting listlessly
waiting for the evening message from
Mr.. Jameson, but when the singular
pair came in, as they did, without cere-
mony, she jumped up and stood staring.
Winters, the detective who watched
the house at night, followed them, and
kept his eyes sharply on Alexis pris-
oner. For that was the situation as it
developed.
He was a tall lanky individual,
ragged and dirty, and just now he
looked both terrified and embarrassed.
Alex was too much engrossed to be
either, and to this day l don't think
ever asked him why he went off with
out permission the day before.

Almost exactly the same scene as
before greeted my eyes at the cottage.
Mrs Tate, the baby-carriage in the
path, the children at the swing-all
were the same.
She came forward to meet me, and
noticed that some of the anxious
lines had gone out of her face. She
looked young, almost pretty.
