The VANISHED
MILLIONAIRE
(Continued.)


woke with start that left me sit
ing up in bed. with my heart thump-
ing in my ribs like piston-rod. l am
not generally light sleeper, but that
night, even while l snored. my nerves
were active. Some one had tapped at
my door-that was my impression.
I listened with the uncertain fear
that comes to the newly walked. Then
heard it again-on the wall near my
head this time. A board creaked.
Bone one was cropping his way down
the dark corridor without Presently
he stopped, and a faint line of illu-
mination sprang out under my door. 1t
winked. and then grew still He had
ut a candle.
Assurance came with the streak of
light. What was he doing. cropping in
the dark, II he had candle with him?
crept over to the door, opened 1t, and
stared cautiously out.
About score feet away man was
standing-a striking figure against the
HIGHT he carried. His back was to-
wards me, but l could see that his
hand was shading the candle from his
eyes while he stared into the shad-
uvs that clung about the further end
Of the corridor.
Presently he began to move forward.
The picture gallery and the body Of
the house lay behind me. The corri-
dor in which he stood terminated In a
window, set deep into the stone OF the
old walls. The man walked slowly,
throwing the light to right and left.
His attitude was of nervous expecta-
tion-that Of a man who looked for
something that he feared to see.
At the window he stopped. staring
about him and listening. He examined
the fastenings, and then tried a door
on his right. 1t was locked against
him. AS he diS so | caught his pro-
flle against the light. 1t was Harbord.
the secretary. From where stood he
was not more than forty feet away.
There was no possibility Of mistake.
AS he turned to come back retreat
ed into my room, closed the door. The
fellow was in a state Of great agita-
ton, and | could hear him muttering
to himself as he walked. When he had
passed by peeped out to see him and
his light dwindle. reach the corner by
the picture gallery, and fade into re-
hection-a darkness.

The problem was beyond me. AS for
Inspector Peace, he did not indulge In
verbal speculations.
It was in the central hall that we
encountered the secretary on his way
to the breakfast room. The man
looked nervous and depressed; he nod
ded to us, and was passing on, when
Peace stopped him.

The Sioux Falls Press in a column
write up says: Wagner would accept
a non-partizan nomination for Judge"
How such a thing car be done at the
March primaries is a question At
this election only party tickets are
voted and each voter must vote
either the Republican CT Democratic
ticket. he eau not vote d part CT
each. No non-partizan ticket can be
voted. Each voter takes with him
into the booth a party ticket and he
a vote no other. Hence, Mr.. Wag-
ner as a non-partizan has no place in
a partizan election. Mr.. Wagner's
appearance In the judicial contest In
this circuit does not recommend itself
TO the intelligent voters. He has
been a resident OF this circuit hardly
six months and to ask to be made its
judge Is at best, presuming thai the
lawyers who have practiced so long In
the circuit, are not the proper one to
be elected. Mr.. Wagner's name has
been mentioned in connection with
the senatorship and the factions have
considered his attitude, and there is
grave doubt whether he is a majority
a minority man and 1t looks as II
this judge 10y was to get him out OF
the way. The gentlemen who have
so long been publically announced
will STAY In to the end. It looks too
much like fixing things for Mr.. Wag-
ner to come out at this late date
Our Lincoln county candidate is the
equal Of Mr.. Wagner In every respect
and his superior in training and ex-
perience and II Mr.. Wagner does
come out, he will get very few votes
In Lincoln county. Judge Kennedy
will carry 1t solid.
