Nathaniel thought Of Arbor Croche
and Obadiah--the two men who al
ways knew what the king was doing.
II he could find the sheriff alone
If he could only nurse Obadiah back
into sane life again! He thrust his
pistol into its holster. There was but
one thing for him to do and that was
to return to the old councillor. II
would be madness for him to go down
to St James. He had lost-Strang
had won. But his love for Marion was
undying. II he found her Strang's
wife 1t would make no difference to
him. 1t would all he evened up when
he killed the king. For Marion loved

words which the woman had spoken
to him back there in the sixth cham
Der.
And as he was about to take the
first step in that long race back to
the mad councillors he heard behind
him the approach of quick feet. He
crouched behind clump of bushes
and waited. A shadowy form was
hurrying through the grove. II passed
close to him. mounted the castle steps

back for an instant IN the direction of

CHAPTER tx.
The Hand of Fate.

Like panther Nathaniel crouched
and watched the man ON the steps.
His muscles jerked, his hands were
clenched; each instant he seemed
about to spring. But he held himself
back until Strang had passed through
the door. Then he slipped along the
log wall Of the castle, hugging the
shadows. fearing that the king might
reappear and see him In time to close
the door. What an opportunity fate
had made for him! His fingers itched
to get at Strang's thick bulllike
throat. He felt no fear, no hesitation
about the outcome of the struggle

with this giant prophet Of God. He
did not plan to shoot, for a shot would
destroy the secret of Marion's fate.
He would choke the truth from
Strang; rob him of life slowly, gasp
by gasp. until In the horror of death
the king would reveal her hiding place
would tell what he had done with
her.
Then he would kill him.
There was the strength of tenn
pered steel in his arms; his body,
slender as an athletes. quivered to
hurl itself into action. Up the steps
he crept SO cautiously that he made
no sound. In the intensity of his
purpose Nathaniel looked only ahead
OF him-to the door. He did not see
that another figure was stealing
through the gloom behind him as eau
tiously, as quietly as himself. He
passed through the door and stood
erect. Strang had not seen him. He
had not heard him. He was standing
with his huge back toward him, facing
the hall that led to the sixth cham
ber-and the woman. Nathaniel drew
his pistol. He would not shoot, but
Strang might be made to tell the
truth with death leveling itself ut his
heart. He CROPPED behind him, found
<he door. and slammed 1t shut. There
would be no retreat for the king!
And the man who turned toward him
at the slamming Of that door, turned
slowly. coolly, and gazed into the
black muzzle of his pistol looked, in
deed. every inch Of him a king. The
muscles Of his face betrayed no sur
prise, no fear. His splendid nerve
was mistaken. his eyes unfaltering as
they rose above the pistol to the face
behind It. For fifteen seconds there
was strange terrible silence as the
eyes Of the two men met. In that

The Shadow of Science.

II Is hard to believe that a shadow
IS probably the origin of all astrono-
nical. geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
STAFF perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and tho
Arab of today who plants his spear In
the sand marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. It Is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. 1t is from the shadow OF
a gnomon that the Inhabitants Of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours Of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs

space of earth between sunrise and

shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the prim-
tive foot rule.
