 CHAPTER XIX.
Represented by Counsel.

Represented by Counsel.
 The outer door opened with Jack-in. the-box suddenness and Tom Blake stood at bay.
 Whats the matter?" he demanded of her eagerly. "The clerk just told me they'd sent for you to come up here. I was afraid it was about that wretched number. So came"
 You're a mind reader" she sneered nevertheless looking up at him with a gratitude very like adoration. They've lost the chance to harm one woman They're taking out the grudge on an other"
 "So it was about the number?"
 Tt was. But it isn't It's about my going to jail"
 "Whati"
 For breaking the connection a while ago when they were sending or. der. over the wire about the Standish story They've flashed Section 641 on me. Jail or fine. I'm to get bothi"
 You'll get neither, roared Tom You're a fine line of men, all of you, to bully and browbeat one poor kid oi a girl. We'll, you've done all of it you're going to. I'm here now. And rll-"
 "Oh, Tom" grunted Jim Blake in tired disgust, you're worse than 8 collie pup with fleas. Keep out ol this"
 Miss Kelly" formally asked Tom may I act as your counsel?"
 You bet you cani" was the girls fervid response.
 Since you insist on interfering Tom," said Robertson, T consent to recognize you as counsel for Miss Kelly. You are a lawyer and you know

 You can't force the situation like this," cried Tom. Its conspiracyi"
 'Is it? retorted Mark coolly. Very good. Since you choose to take that tone, we will simply call your bluff by arresting her. Neligan. go and get a plain-clothes man. Tell the captain it's for Jim Blake. Bring the man back with you and have him within call"
 We're kind of up against it, aren't we, Tom?" whispered Wanda as Neli gan departed on his mission.
 Miss Kelly" said Robertson, eying the girl sharply, T have conducted many cases, but confess this puzzles me. There is something in it I cannot understand. We offer you the alterna. tive of prlson-Mr. Blake has offered you money. And still you refuse us. There's some strong personal motive that makes you oppose use. Is-?"
 "Oh, Pve' got motive enough in op- posing the machine, if it comes to that!" interrupted Wanda 'In the first place, my father was Frank E. Kelly"
 Marks face stiffened with surprise. Gregg and Van Dyke glanced at each other, half-awed. Jim Blake alone gave no sign of disturbance. Glancing amusedly at Wanda from between his slitted eyes, he drawled
 Frank E. Kelly. hey? So you're try ing to get back at me, young woman?"
 Put it that way If you like" re- turned Wanda fiercely. "But there is more than that. I'm against you and all the dirty machine in every way. Why? Because I've got the bad luck to be one of the people. I'm"
 The telephone tangled into the rush of her talk. Jim Blake picked up the instrument.
 "Hello." he queried, "that you, Burns? Instructions. hey? gave 'em. Keep Winthrop talking till he drops. then get Mullins recognized and let him talk all night if he can; or till I'm ready to break in. Delay-thats the idea-delay! Hold the floor and delay. What? Oh, in little while AON, guess. DOH worry.
 Miss Kelly" said Mark, you still refuse to answer my questions?"
 q refuse everything" exulted Wan da~ You and the machine are licked to standstill. And I helped to do 1t. That's easy worth a good whole year in jail"
 Your motives for working against us?" he insisted. T mean, are you shielding anyone?"
 "Of course I am. I'm shielding the Woman you're after"
 Do you know who she is?"
 "No."
 Gregg ordered Robertson, turning to the highly-entertained Kansan, twill you go and get Standishe Ask him to come here"
 "All right" ruefully assented Gregg, making sadly for the outer door.
 Don't try to stick 1t out, girl" ex- horted Blake. You can't afford to get square with me at this price,"
 Cant I? Wait and see"
 Do you know Standish, personal ly?" called Mark.
 NO, don't"
 You want him to win, then, just for nolitical reasons"

VERY BADLY WOUNDED.
Shot by Eugene III. Wilkes, Mer.

nate Young Man for Burglar.

Laurens Special to The State, Oct.
ga specialist in surgery was
brought to Laurens today from Co
lumbia by special train to perform
an operation in an effort to save the
life of John Watts, only son of Rich
ard c. Watts, associate justice of the
supreme court of South Carolina.
Young Watts was shot and danger
ously wounded at 4 o'clock by Eu-
gene H. Wilkes when the young
man. then not recognized by Mr..
Wilkes, was discovered in the yard
of the Wilkes residence.
The bullet, 3S calibre, entered
the left side in line with the hin
bone and ranged upward, perforat-
ing the intestines in four places.
This was revealed by the operation
but the bullet was not located. The
wounded man is in serious condi-
tion tonight, but it is stated that he
has ar even chance of recovery. He
is at u sanitarium.
Mr.. Wilkes, one of the most prom
incnt men Of the city, is prostrated
at his home and expresses great re-
gret over the occurrence but saws he
feels he was justified in protecting
his home rom what he thought to be
a burglar
Some time before O'Clock Mr..
Wilkes and his wife were aroused
by the barking of the dog. Later
they heard noise in the back yard
which sounded like some one
scrambling over the fence Think
ing it was a coal thief. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilkes proceeded to the back door
and Mr.. Wilkes stepped out into the
yard. Seeing a figure of a man in
the darkness. Mr.. Wilkes hailed him.
Receiving no response, he fired, aim
ing at the lower part of his body.
| The man fell, then arose and ran
across the street and fell in the front
porch of b. l.. Clardy's residence.
Mr. Watts was calling for a doctor
and Mr.. Clardy went out and dis
covered who it was. The alarm was
given and the. young man was
rushed to the hospital. 1t is stated
that he appeared to be under the in
huence of liquor when found and
this probably explains his conduct
as he did not know where he was
going or what he was doing.
Mr. Watts is University of South
carolina graduate in law and Is
about 30 years OF age.
