II have told you my name-Jack
Keith" he replied, quietly. Doctor
Fairbain knows something of me, but
for your further information l will add
that when we met before | was Cap
tain Keith. Third Virginia Cavalry.
and bearing dispatches from Long
street to Stonewall Jackson"
The gruff old soldier, half-crazed by
the news of his daughters peril, the
CLEAN of his eyes still revealing I'M
controlled temper. stared at the young
or face fronting him; then slowly he
held out his hand.
"Keith-Keith," he repeated, as
though bringing back the name with
An effort. by God, that's sold JEFF
ferson Keith's boy-killed at An
hetam. And you know Hope?"
Yes, General"
He looked about as though dazed,
and the sheriff broke In not unkindly.
We'll. Waite, If we are going to
search for your daughter we better
be at it. Come on, all of you; Miss
Maclaire will be safe enough here
alone"
He took hold of Keith's arm, ques-
tioning him briefly as they passed
down the hall. On the stairs the lat
ter took his turn, still confused by
what he had just heard.
Who is Miss Maclaire?" he asked.
Phyllis Gale"
"Of course, but who is Phyllis Gale?
What has she to do with General
Waite? His daughter has told me she
never heard Of any one by that name"
We'll, Keith, the old man has never
told me very much; he's pretty close
mouthed, except for swearing, but I've
read his papers, and picked up a point
or two. reckon the daughter, Miss
Hope, maybe never heard a word
about 1t, but the boy-the one that
was shet-must have stumbled onto
the story and repeated it to Hawley.
That's what set that fellow going. 1t
seems Mrs. Waite's maiden name was
Pierpont, and when she was seven
teen years old she was married to the
son of rich North Carolina planter.
The fellow was a drunken, dissolute,
good-for-nothing. They had a daugh.
ter born-this Phyllis-and when the
child was three years old her father
in fit of drunken rage, ran away, and
to spite his wife took the little girl
with him. All efforts to trace them
failed, and the mother finally secured
divorce and. two years later, mar
ried Willis Waite. Waite, of course
knew these facts, but probably they
were never told the children. When
the father of Mrs. Waite's first hus
band died, he left all his large proper
ty TO his grandchild, providing she
could be found and identified within 6
certain time, failing which the proper
ty was to be distributed among Ger
tain designated charities. Waite wa!
named sole administrator Well, the
old man took as much interest in it a!
though it was his own girl, but made
mighty little progress. He did dis
cover that the father had taken tn,
child to St. Louis and left here Their,
with woman named Raymond, bu
after the woman died the girl com
pletely disappeared"
Then Miss Maclaire Is Hop
Waite's half-sister?"
That's the way 1t looks now"
And Hawley merely happened t
stumble on to the right party?"

condemnation Of him, he went to
Charles H.. king of England, and In
vented a. story Of a Jesuit plot to MUIR
der the king and to start general
massacre. His tale was an absolute
lie from first to last, and it was
so awkwardly devised that the king
in few careless questions exposed 1t
as not, only false but utterly absurd.
Oates was not discouraged. Failing
TO convince Charles of the falsehood,
he went before a magistrate named
Godfrey and publicly took oath that
hiss charges were true. The govern
rlent and the people at large seemed
to forget that Oates hadsalready been
convicted Of perjury and that his
whole life was that of a man whose
word was not to be credited. Panic
struck statesmen and popslace alike.
They believed their kings life was
really threatened. No proofs to the
contrary nor appeals to their sanity
could check this belief. The nation
was made with excitement, Charles
aloneXthe supposed plots intended
vlctim--remained calm'and laughed at
the entire affair as hoax.
Nearly 1000 innocent persons we're
arrested on Oates false testimony as
members of the conspiracy. Brave,
honest, loyal Englishmen were tried
and unjustly put to death on the same
charge. A reign of terror
set in. No ones life seemed safe

b'es alike swelled the rapks of VIC

had neglected and ill-treated--of con-
spring to poison King Charles. The
public once more howiad with fury.
Parliament tried to force the queen
to leave court, Charles had the de.
cency to put n stop to this tale by, de-
claring his wife innocent.
Later, when Charles ii. died and his
brother, James H., came to the throne,
Oates was convicted OF perjury. A
strange sentence was passed upon
him. For state reasons 1t was deem.
ed best not to execute this "conspir-
acy inventor" who had caused so many
better men to die. Instead, 1t was
decided to put him to death in anoth-
er fashion. He was sentenced TO pay

and then to be imprisoned for life, be.
ing taken from his cell five times
year to be pilloried again. As Oates
was sixty-fiye years old, 1t was thought
the terrific beating would kill him.
But he was tough. He received 1900
lashes OF the whip and was somangled
that he had to be dragged back to pris-
on on a siedge. In spite of this treat
