At the general conference OF

the privilege was given its mem
bers to dance if they so desire.
The church thus manifests a pro-
gressive spirit and enlargeS its
influence among the young peo-
pie. A resolution was also
adopted declaring that the Taft
administration has forfeited
all claims to the future franchises
of the Christian and sober man
hood of the nation" This knock
was prompted by Secretary Will
son addressing the national brew
ers' congress, which was a fool
ish move on his part and the
people have a right to resent.
Your uncle, Walter Roscoe
Stubs, present governor of Kan
sas, but who doesn't spend very
much of his time in the state at
tending to the states business,
is at present a very active candi-
date for the nomination for vice
president in case Teddy lands at
the top of the Republican ticket.
And in case Teddy meets defeat
in the Republican national con-
vention, then your uncle, Walter
Roscoe, will file his nomination
papers and run against Charlie
Curtis for U. S. Senator. Pa
pers must be filed at least forty
days before the primary, and
more than forty days will inter
vene between the Republican con-
vention and the date of the pr.
mary, so he will have plenty of
time. IF you have any idea you
can lose your uncle Walter Ros-
coe you are badly mistaken.

He came swinging down the street
past where | stood. AS he came closer
l was amazed TO note that his face
was not the unnatural color of the
morphine users that l expected, but
rudy with health. His eyes, however,
wore strained expression and his
brow was knotted with wrinkles. l
was strongly tempted to spring out
from where l stood as he passed, to
seize him by the throat and TO make
him tell me all | wished to know about
the hideous mystery. Yet better judg
ment withheld my hand. After all,
the evidence | had against him was
not Of the tangible sort that would
convict. Even though l knew of his
telephoning Katharine just before she
shot herself, even though General
Parrish had learned something about
him that barred him from the house,
even though we had found in his
rooms a hypodermic syringe and the
address in New Jersey where the third
suicide had taken place, even though
l myself had noted his suspicious ac-
tons there, there was nothing definite
enough to warrant selling him as yet.
l watched him as far down the ave
nue. as my eye could follow and then
turned toward the Parrish house. This
time ! was admitted without delay.
Apparently the maid had new instruc-
tons.
IN tell Miss Louise you are here"
she said as she showed me into the
reception-room.

should greet Louise. While there was
much that | might reproach her for,

fault. | knew she must be acting I'M

quest to me over the telephone must
have been made because she was dom
mated by the fear of this villain who
had brought disaster on her father and
sister Perhaps she feared that some
evil might befall me if l persisted in
trying to run him to earth. Possibly
she was afraid that still greater evil
might come to those she loved. l felt
that for her own happiness it was nee
essary that l should continue my
course. | would go on with my inves-
tigation and once for all free her from

to dissuade me from it.

CHAPTER x.
Who Was the Thief?

An unbidden and unwelcome guest,
jealousy came and sat by the altar of
my heart, stirring the fires of my love
for Louise into furious darts of flame
that SCARED my soul. That Crandall
for | was positive now that the Wis
itor who had entered the Parrish home
had been he-should have been admit
ted to the house with so many things
pointed to his guilt, while |, an ac-
cepted lover. and certainly Louise's
faithful servitor, had been barred with
such scant courtesy, filled me with
dumb unreasoning rage. l felt that
all claims OF friendship and of service,
even disregarding the still stronger
claims of honest love, entitled me to
far different treatment.
Yet even in the burst Of anger that
overwhelmed me there was not
single thought Of harshness toward
Louise. | felt that If l could but see
her she would explain everything sat
isfactorily. 1t was toward Crandall
that all my wrath was directed. Feel
ing as | did, sure that he was respon-
sible for Katharine's attempted sui
eide and for her poor fathers plight,
/ feared that his visit to the house
BODIED i'll for Louise. Undoubtedly his
malign influence had persuaded her
to bid me drop my efforts to solve the
mystery. He must have realized that
was close on his trail, 60 danger
ously close that with the effrontery OF
the daring criminal he had ventured 10
come to the house il one last effort
TO thwart my plans for his exposure.
