HAMMOND MAN
PROVES HIS METTLE

Christian Brown, S07 Alice street
proved himself hero shortly before
noon today when he saved the life of
Morris Hawley. aged 13. who was about
to ride his bicycle in front of thd
Monon passenger train which passes
through this city at 11:23
Young Hawley was on his bicycle
and evidently did not notice the ap-
preaching passenger train and did not
hear the warning shouts of the watch
man.
Just as he was about to ride in front
Of the train Brown grabbed him by the
shoulders and drew both the boy and
the wheel from his position of peril
Brown says the gates were down
and that the boy was given every
warning. The engineer of the train
seeing the danger of running over the
boy, stopped his train just beyond the
point where the boy would have been
struck If he had not been saved by the
watchman. The accident happened at
the Holman street and Plummer ave
nue. crossing.

CHAPTER XIV.
Tracing the Crime.

Bromley Manor was busy the next.
morning with the departure of all the
guests. Gervais was in the hall to
wish each one farewell, and make
excuses for Dorothy, who was not
well enough to leave her room.
1nere was an air of suppressed excite
ment about the household; the SER
wants were to be seen in knots of twos
and threes, eagerly discussing the
murder-for that it was murder
there was now no doubt whatever.
The dead man had been attacked
from behind, and stabbed in nearly
a dozen places. DR.. Waters was of
opinion that he must have tainted
and fallen from loss of blood, and
that the murderer had then struck
the final and fatal blow that had
pierced the heart.
The fact that a silk scarf was tied
around the left arm of the corpse
was puzzling to the medical man, as
1t argued that there must have been
some pause between the attacks. or
that the murderer had himself bound
UP the arm. which last supposition
seemed absurd on the face of if.
I1ere was no mark of any sort on
the scarf, so that the theory that it
had been used to throw the scent in.
any particular direction fell to the
ground, though DR.. Waters had some
ideas on the subject which he kept to
himself.
On a second examination of the
body he confirmed the impression he
had come to at first, namely, that
the wound in the arm was in all
probability struck some little time
before the others, as the strapping
Of the handkerchief tightly around
had not only caused the flow of blood
to cease, but had pressed the sides
of the wound-which was a clean,
deep flesh cut-close together.
GerVais, after she had seen the last
Of the guests depart, turned with a
sigh to go to the library, where DR..
Waters and the local police were
t,aiting for him.
Have you found any trace of the
man you suspect, Mr.. Reynolds?"
was his first question to the inspector,
'No. my lord; but it's early yet
He cant be gone far. for, according
to Mr. Lawler, the landlord of the
Groombridge Arms, he was a tramp,
my lord, with no money or nothink."
But by this time, remember, in
all probability he has what would be
to him a perfect treasure" said Dr.
Waters, sharply; 'the dead man has

doubt, and his murderer has gone off
Very true, sir" replied the in

but all the same. sir. | don't count
on that doing him much good. Ey

Continued.

ut Is my dear lady, especially such
case as this. On my life, 1 don't
wonder your friends are flying from
Bromley while the villain is still un.
found; but we must surely trace him
Tomorrow. Suspicion points to that
man who was seen with LaXon earlier
IN the day at the Groomsbridge
Arms. Several people say they were
heard having quarrel; but then the
landlord declares that Laxon walked
with this man afterward to the rail-
way station, saw him into the Lon
don train and parted from him most
amicably.''
"What sort of a man." questioned
Dorothy, nervously.
Gervais drew her closer to him; /;
they were alone in the drawing room,
except for Enid-who sat gazing into
the fire, longing to be alone, yet
dreading the night before her-and
Sir Gregory Martin.
"It Is the old proverb, give dog
bad name and hang him. he said,
speaking lightly, yet not without
some veXation; sit seems there is a
general opinion about that the mur-
derer is one and the same person as
your old friend, the man whom Vir-
ginie called a thief the other night"
D. rothy's breath almost stopped.
She had feared this, but when the
fact came it overwhelmed her.
Ridiculous! she gasped, pain
fully. Poor old man-why-"
she broke off suddenly-"but 1 can't
bear to hear more about it tonight.
Come, Enid, let us go 10 bed and
leave these gentlemen to indulge in
horrors to their hearts content"
Enid rose at once and Dorothy, !
after they had shaken hands with Sir
Gregory, put her arm round her
cousin and went away. AS they went
up the stairs Enid saw that the per-
spration was standing on Dorothy's
brow like beads, yet her hand was as
cold as Ice. At the door they parted,
but as Enid was moving on Dorothy
stopped her.
Enid, have one request to make;
II l should be taken ill 1 wish you to

eyes," said Enid YEARLY.
"And you promise?" Dorothy's
white face looked terribly worn and
wretched.
Without thought to herself Enid
promised, then the door was closed
and she walked slowly on to her own
room. Here she found Maria watt
ing for her, shivering.
"Oh. Miss Enid, I'm too frightened
to sleep all alone tonight. You
know, miss, I'm up in the tower?
May | sleep on the sofa in your
studio. Miss, but l daren't sleep
alone"
Enid gave gentle consent and
even helped the girl to make a COM
Portable bed; then as she was quite
alone she buried her face in her
hands and fell on her knees by her
bed.
Twice had she intended to leave
Bromley Manor, and each time she
had been thwartedI Was it Fate
that kept her near. to be with Ger
Sais at this time of trouble?
