CHAPTER xxvIll.
ATramp and the Toothaehe.

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 I thought Gertrude knew or at
least suspected that Jack had done It.;
the next 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 I
was disposed to throw all those sus-
picions aside, and fix definitely on the
unknown, whoever that might be.
I 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. I told Gertrude, then,
about the telegram to Louise when she
had been ill before; about my visit to
DR.. Walker, and my suspicious that
Matte Bliss and Nina Darlington were
the same. She thought, as did, that
there was little doubt of it.
I 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 1 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 queer
pair, for Alex was almost as disrepu.
table as the tramp, and he had badly
swollen eye.
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 is eyes sharply on Alexis pris-
oner. For that was the situation as it
developed.
He was 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 1 don't think
ever asked him why he went off with
out permission the day before.
"Miss Innes," Alex began abruptly,
this man can tell us something very
important about the disappearance of
Mr.. lines. I found him trying to sell

and put it on the table. It was Halsey's

the roar and rush of the wheels
seemed to sing the words. "Nina Car
rington, N. c." And I then knew,
knew as surely as If had seen the
whole thing. There had been an N. G..
on the suit case belonging to the wom-
an with the pitted face. How simple
it all seemed. Matte Bliss had been
Nina Darlington. It was she Warner
had heard in the library. 1t was some
thing she had told Halsey that had
taken him frantically to DR.. Walkers
office, and from there perhaps to his
death. If we could find the woman, we
might find what had become of Hal
sey.
We we're almost at Richfield now,
so kept on. My mind was not on my
errand there now. 1t was back with
Halsey on that memorable night. What
was it he had said to Louise, that had
sent her up to Sunnyside, half wild
with fear for him? I made up my
mind, as the car drew up before the
Tate cottage, that 1 would see Louise
if had to break into the house at
night.
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
l noticed that some of the anxious
lines had gone out of her face. She
looked young, almost pretty.
II am glad you have come back"
she said. II think I will have to be
honest and give you back your money"
"Why?" I asked. "Has the mother

mot very young. About 40, I sup
pose. She was small and fair-haired,
just little bit gray, and very sad.
She was in deep mourning, and, I
think, when she came, she expected to
go at once. But the child, Lucien, in
terested her. She talked to him for a
long time, and, indeed, she looked
much happier when she left

OPPOSES AN
ENDORSEMENT
Governor Harmon Will Not
Try to Boss the Con-
vention.
RY nnlicd Press Wire

Columbus, o., May 27.-Unless
Governor Harmon changes his mind
between now and June 81, he and his
friends will go to the Democratic
state convention opposed to the pro-
position of endorsing u candidate for
United States senator in the conven-
ton.
William Jennings Bryan's demand
ON Harmon, through the Commoner
that he come out in the open and ad.
vocate the nomination of ase Material
candidate by the state convention.
is considered a hard jolt to-Harmon,
because it indicates Bryan's hostility
to OhiO's governor as presidential
possibility.
Governor Harmon doesn't believe 1t
good politics to nominate senatorial
candidate in the state convention. He
believes the nomination of any one
aspirant would Kill in host of other
aspirants an incentive to get out and
work hard for the success of the
ticket this fall He believes that the
good of the party demands that the
senatorial proposition be left until
the state and the Legislature have been
carried; that the forcing of the sena-
torial issue into the campaign might
cause the loss of both the state ticket
and the legislature,
Harmon argued this proposition
With ex-Mayor Tom Johnson of Clevc-
and when he visited the latter city
several weeks ago, Johnson's posi-
tion is Identical with Bryan's; and
some are suspcctlng that Johnson may
nave persuaded Bryan to demand of
Harmon that he advocate the nomina-
tlon of the senatorial candidate in the
convention.
on the other hand, Harmon has
taken the position that IL the state
convention wants, to nominate th'
senatorial candidate II may do s.
without any interference from him
gut he doesn't think 1t good poll
les.

The trade was so vast and confusion
so great that individual operations
did not count, Big operators threw
great blocks of wheat on the mar
ket. Lower foreign cables, good
wheat weather and heavy stocks I'm

the demoralized wheat bulls.
AS the session wore on, 1t was ev.

Weak cables from Liverpool contin-
ued a strong factor and the bear
traders claimed that a drop of 10c
bushel would come before there il
a substantial halt in the downward
tendency. Patten and the leading
bulls are credited with the bulk OF
the selling. The bull interests to
minimize their losses, are believed to
be selling in large quantities and in
terposlng small buying orders TO poll
ster up the market when it shows
signs of too great weakness.
When the market opened, Patteu
was credited with still holding line
