where those documents really were.
Hawley certainly had them In his pos
session the day before, for he had
taken them to Miss Maclaire to thus
convince her as to the truth Of his
statements. And Hawley was still
in Sheridan. However, it was not
likely the man would risk carrying
documents of such value, and docu-
ments connecting him SO closely with
that murder on the Santa Fee Trail,
about upon his person. At best. life
was cheap in that community, and
Black Bart must possess enemies In

to such degree-yet apparently he
was the only one working with the
gambler in this deal, the only one

Keith came to stop In the street at
the recurrence of the woman's name.
Why not? If she had been convinced,
If she really believed that these pa
pers proved her right to both property
and parentage, then she would guard
them as tigress does her young And
Hawley would know that, and must
realize they would be far safer in her
hands than in his pocket. She could
not use them without his aid and
guidance. and yet, whatever happened
to him they would still be safely be-
yond reach. True, this might not have
been done; the gambler might not yet
have felt that he had sufficient hold
upon the woman to trust her thus far,
but 1t was, at least, a possibility to be
considered, and acted upon.
Still wrestling with the intricate
problem, Keith entered the dining
room, and weaved his way, as usual,
through the miscellaneous crowd, to-
ward the more exclusive tables at the
rear. A woman sat alone at one of
these, her back toward the door. His
first thought was that it must be

and he bowed. recognizing Christie

CHAPTER XVI.
A Chance Conversation.

The opportunity thus so unexpected
ly afforded was not one to be wasted,
and Keith accepted 1t with swift deter
mination. The expression in the wom-
ans face was scarcely one of well
come, yet his purpose was sufficiently
serious to cause him to ignore this
with easy confidence in himself.
Il am. indeed, most fortunate to dis.

said. avoiding her eyes by a swift
glance over the table, "and evidently
at time when you are only beginning
your meal. May Join you?"
She hesitated for an instant, debat-

Gliding on disagreeable tactics.

and consequently have little choice

piled, her voice more civil than her
words. "Still. Mr.. Keith, am not

He smiled, holding his temper in
check. more than ever determined to
win.
Then. possibly, you may rather
welcome new diversion. can as

advantage OF Justice Gerard's offer TO
withhold filing the decision sustaining
the habeas corpus writ In order that
he might exercise executive clemency
to Folke r. Brandt, Gov. Dix said to-
day:
my final word for the present has
been given in the case
Atty.-Gen. Carmody said that he
would not appeal the Gerard order.
This action shows that there is a
break between the encouragement
and the governor, as the latter said
last night that he wanted to wait be
fore taking any further steps In the
case until the appellate court decided
whether Gerard had the right TO set
the decision aside.
The governors decision not to In
terfere followed verbal report made
by Commissioner Hand, who, IL Is un-
derstood, told the governor that his
investigation developed that Brandt's
sentence was predicated on an admit
tedly false report by the police. Hand.
however, did not make any recon-
mendstions for pardon, he said to-
sday.r@-
- Later Dix conferred with Alton b.
Parker. chief OF the Schiff attorneys
and then announced the case was out
Of his hands because or the Gerard
decision. This was disputed by both
Justice Gerard and District Attorney
whitman but their offer to withhold
the decision so that the governor
might pardon Brandt, was ignored by
Dix.
Atty.-Gen. earmody and Whitman
will confer with Justice Gerard IN
New York tonight. and then Whit.
man VIII decide whether he will take
an appeal on his own responsibility.
