Hampden, vainly trying to regain an
appearance of composure, tremblingly
sat down. For minute Warren said
nothing When he did speak it was in
low, lifeless voice.
81 can save you the trouble. The
statement have been preparing for
Senator Murchell contains what you
want, think. This is it." He pointed
to the papers lying on his desk.
Slowly, mechanically, as one walking
in sleep, he gathered up the books on
the desk and carried them from the
office to the vault. John saw Warren
put the books in their places, then fun
BILE around in corner Of the shelf.
Warren seemed to feel his presence,
for, hand still resting on the shelf, he
turned to face John. Then the hand,
grasping a black, shining thing, leaped
from the shelf to his head. Johns cry
and the shot rang out together.
For an instant the body swayed.
then crumpled in a heap on the floor
Four stunned men, held in a horrible
fascination, knelt by the CHASTITY thing,
dumbly watching the struggle of that
which is called life to free itself from
its prison of flesh. OF these men,
three of them, each in anguish, was
calling himself murderer
For nearly an hour-an eternity
shaken to the very center Of their be-
ings, they kept the death watch. There
was a shiver that passed over the
whole body-then stiffness.
Haig was the first to recover himself
He caught John by the arm and drew
him away "Come back here" He

drew John into the office and forced
him to sit down. And you two,
come"
Murchell seemed to come out of his
daze. He touched Hampden, who fol
lowed him docilely and fell into
chair.
81 seem to be the only one with a
trace of sanity left. And l." said Haig
grimly, mopping his brow with a shak
ing hand Il am pretty far gone. God,
l didn't know it could be so awful!
But we've got to decide whether We'll
let this-how and why 1t happened
come out. By some miracle nobody
seems to have heard. If the luck holds
we may be able to keep it quiet" He
looked at Murchell.
But a great change seemed to have
come over the politician during the
racking hour. His face was ashen; he
looked old as he never had before.
All the firm self reliance, the habit Of
domination, justified through so many
crises, seemed to have broken down in
the presence of sudden, violent death.
1e shook his head in hopeless mega
tive.
There's no use trying" he said wea-
rily, "if you go ahead with this investi-
CATION" He turned to John. "lt's for
you to decide. If this is kept quiet and
you don't go on l can save the bank
maybe. But if you do go on there'll be
| al do
And-you've got to understand the sit
uation-you'll have to prosecute Hamp-
den here"
John did not answer. He was star.
Ing at the face of Warren Blake.
Halg mopped his forehead again
Lets get out of here,' he muttered
nervously. "If l stay much longer with
-that-Pll be a gibbering idiot"
He took the dead cashiers keys
from the desk, turned out the light
! and went to the door. The others
followed.
They forgot to close the vault. But
it was well guarded.
New Chelsea had been long asleep,
;he streets emptied, when Haig and
Murchell, accompanied by the doctor
and MISUNDERSTANDING in the
bank and frightened into secrecy
drove a roundabout course by side
streets and alleys to the rear dooI
of the bank. Like thieves, they entered
and carried what lay there out to the
carriage. Then they drove away, pray,
ing that no untimely passerby had
CHANGED to observe them.
But the luck held.
Later still, with another picture-a
little, faded old woman become in an
instant foolishly smiling child-burnt
into their memories, Haig and Muir
chell emerged from the home of War
rem Blake. Haig stopped, looking up.
IL wonder what John Dunmeade II
going through just now? l can SEE
the end. The good have no luck

last night. Ehd' r. rTve come to ask
you to do nothing that will harm my
father"
Unconsciously his face darkened. 1t
was not because Of her request, but
because of the picture she recalled.
81 suppose it was for that You
have He would have said. mo need
to ask" But she misunderstood and
interrupted quickly.
81 have no right to ask this--or any
thing of you? 1 know that, more
clearly than you can tell me. l put
you in the way of unhappiness and
then chose against you for things-for
things of no value. 1t may give you
some satisfaction to know that they
are gone-though you can hardly be-
| lieve that the taste for them went
! first.
"I-my father and Senator Murchell,
the men who will profit by your
silence, deserve nothing at your hands,
at anybody's. 1 can't pretend that
they would show mercy to you. But
my father, at least, is a broken man.
Last night took away his courage. He
believes that he is responsible for War
rem Blakes"-
"No!' She saw him shudder and
draw back. mo! l, with my rash
ness, am to blame for that"
"Ah! you mustn't say that" She
took a step forward, eager in his de-
fense. 81 know what you've been
through and how it must have given
you the horrors. But you mustn't say
that Nobody could think it. You
only did your duty. But I'm afraid
for him. He is half crazed from fear
and shock, l think-I couldn't endure
many more nights like last night. I'm
afraid, If it all comes out, he'll take
Warren Blake's way OUT
"Don'h he cried roughly, as if in
pain. 1--WE gone over it ALL"
"I'm not trying to frighten you. And
didn't want toto come to you" The
steadiness was leaving her. She
thought she saw in his lack of re-
sponse a hostile determination. 81
have no right to ask a man-such as
you are-to sacrifice himself, his con-
science for such man. 1 can offer
no-no adequate return. But he is my
father and it is not-it can not be so
very wrong to err on the side of
mercy. And once you said-you
cared"-
"It was true. 1t has always been true.
What / will do will not be because
you ask it. but because it is for you.
And not for price. And-you haven't
thought it out very clearly, have you?
what you mean is impossible in any
case. If l went on with the investiga-
tion you couldn't love the man who
was prosecuting your father. And
just because you understand what is
right in the case and are what you
are, you couldn't respect and SO
couldn't love the man who weakly did
what was wrong for him-even for you
And just now-you are very anxious to
save your father"
The flood of crimson ebbed. She
looked at him strangely. "Do you be
lieve-that?"
'I know it. But you needn't be
afraid any longer. Your father is safe
so far as I am concerned. That was
settled before you came"
She turned from him in an immeas
urable relief to look out of the window
The voice of the congregation ros,
again in the closing hymn, Onward
Christian Soldiers"
The hymn ended. She raised he
head and faced him, unshed tears il
her eyes.

CHAPTER XIX.
Tho Vulnerable Heel.

Tho Vulnerable Heel'
EM W1OHN was awakened by the
E ringing of a church bell.
Esssg 1t was a clear morning, the
EESs2$J sun shining brilliantly. The
peace of the Sabbath lay over all.
Along Main street moved, with sedate
stride, the weekly procession of church
goers. Not even the news which they
would receive in church, that Warren
Blake had dropped dead of heart fail
uregrim jest!-would disturb their
gravity. For the news would be ac-
companied by assurances from Senator
Murchell and Stephen Hampden that
the bank would be in nowise affected.
John rose from his seat by the win
dow and, obedient to the command of
habit, made his morning toilet When
he was dressed he returned to the win
dow He was very tired. His will, as
though worn out by the scene and
struggle of the night, could not shake
off the heavy mental and physical lassi-
tude that oppressed him. Once he tried
to recall the horror he had seen, but
his inert mind balked
With sluggish curiosity he watched
the figure of woman walking down
the street. Not until she turned in at
the gate did he recognize her. There
was no glad start. On the contrary, a
muttered, querulous protest escaped
him. He did not wish to see her Just
then.
Reluctantly he rose and went down to
the library. She was standing at a
southern window through which the
sun poured a golden flood She heard
him enter and turned. He halted Just
within the door. For a moment, silent,
they looked at each other across the
sunlit room.
1t was she who, with the brave di-
rectness that had always been hers,
first broke the silence.
