CHAPTER XVI.

Tho Chief Of Police Visits Mr.. Gormly.
On tho evening of the second day
before the election Connell. dressed In
platn clothes and entirely unaccom.
panied. presented himself very late at
night at Gormly's apartment and de-
sired to see him. It was Somes who
admitted the ofiicial. Gormly's estab-
lishment was q simple one. and the
other servants had gone home for the
plight.
Somes knew very we'll who he was.
and while he had some OF the English
awe of the police he had all the ha-
tired of a jealous and devoted partizan
of his master, which he certainly was.
for the enemy. Therefore he re-
ouested the functionary to take seat
while he carried the request for an in
terview to the library.
Somes entered the library without
knocking, a most unusual course for
him, He also took occasion to turn
the key of the door behind him. Then
he stood at attention in his respectful
English way. Gormly had looked up
instantly the door was opened. and
had stopped his dictation. He was
greatly surprised at the valet's en-
trance, and more surprised when he
locked the door: but he realized that
something unusual was up and said
nothing.

II left him sitting out in the hall,
but l wouldn't be too sure as to where
he is, sir. He seemed to want to come
right in here without permission. and
that's why I locked the door. SIR"

Of amusement in his eye. II wonder

While Chaloner gathered up his

THE TROUBLE FOUND AT LAST

So far, the trouble with alfalfa
seed raising in Lincoln county has
been that no method has been per-
(ected for securing even and pay
ing results from one season to the
next. Last year one man might
raise no more than one bushel per
acre while another person had
yield Of ten or twelve bushels per
acre. And nobody has discovered
the reason for the different yields
from year to year or of different
fields for the same season. The
ranchers of the Hagerman Valley
are testing out this matter from
wear to year but so far they have |
reached no definate results. As a
rule alfalfa seed raising pays big
but now and then there
5 a fall down by several indivi-
iuals without any apparent reason.
I is hardly to be supposed that
his is a business that depends
Wholly on chance. There must be

The other day, being less wretchedly and fooishly busy than usual,

chatted with my dear old friend.
She told m about her rheumatism and her flower garden and about

Mr.. Grayman also shook hands with
me very warmly, and 1 felt my heart

There is little more that l can tell
you. Alfonso Payton was heard
of again.
His disappearance marked the end
Of n of the strangest chapters in the
history of crime. Polished, talented,
brave as q lion and such a master of
aeronautics as the world has seldom
seen, he could have risen to equal
eminence, l like to think, rad be
chosen to work with society instead
Of against it. The record of his ex-
ploits some day will possibly find its
way into print, as l have here set
down its conclusion. No work of fc-

cination.
Helen and l often talk Of him, and
sometimes we have wondered If, after
all, he escaped. On my part and | am
sure on hers there would be no regret
If we could believe that he did. for at
any ate his career of crime was end

1 should perhaps add a word to say
hat the survivors of the wrecked
Ekylark were safely brought home and
to explain what became of Payton's
lodge and what was the mystery of
the digging in the woods. The lodge
we set on fire-a vandal's act, perhaps
but we did not want it to remain as
a possible lurking place for Payton's
crew. Mrs Williams turned out to be
a crook well known to the New York
detectives, but as no overt act WIS
proved against her she was allowed
TO go.
The grave Of the bear was the
last resting place Of one Of Payton's
victims, possibly the "Mr. Green"
that he had spoken of. but he was
never identified. Other CHASTITY dis
~coveries were made In the woods
about the lodge. but no buried treas
ure was found.
