were blown to splinters and heaped IN
confused masses Of debris.
Flames began to creep through the
structure. and huge clouds Of smoke
rolled eastward. before a rising wind.
Editor Cole and Matthew Brand,
busily engaged in preparing additional
reform copy for the next mornings
edition, did not escape the effect Of
the miscreants act.
A piece Of wall struck Cole and
knocked him insensible. Brand, struck
down by falling plaster and cut by
flying glass. reeled backward to the
floor with a broken arm.
Police and firemen, soon to the scene
Of the catastrophe, took many bodies
from the ruins. Brand and Cole and
several other members Of the staff
were still breathing when dragged
from the suffocating smoke.
One of the bodies found, which was
to be silent forever, was that Of the
loathsome Duncan.
He had paid the price for his crime
and cheated the law of its right to do
it for him. The wages Of sin is death
Duncan's messenger of destruction.

of defective mechanism.
Emmcrson Boyd. appalled, by the re
suit of the conspiracy now that it was
actually consummated, was prOstrated
at his home.
He was forced to drug himself in or
der to sleep. And in sleep grim spec
ters pursued him. haunted his brain.
He saw a great graveyard. The tomb
stones were marked "Sacc-OzOne" and
'Multikurol," and skeletons and ghosts
of men. women and children parad-
ed before him. They pointed accus-
ING fingers Mt him. They heaped curses |
on him. They wept. Then they would
dance. ljeering at Boyd in hysterical
laughter. Sometimes he thought he
could hear the rattle of arm and skull
joints.
He awoke. A great transformation
had transpired in the heart and soul OF
Emmerson Boyd. Penitent tears
streamed down his cheeks. He knelt
at his bedside and prayed to Almighty
God for forgiveness. He would devote
the remaining years'of his life laboring
for the welfare Of Everytown.
The papers endeavOred to connect
him with the crime when one Of the
dead was recognized as that Of Dun
can. The accepted theory, however,
finally was that Duncan was In the
building to have another conference
with Brand, if possible.
The editor and his hacker, now In
the city hospital, were found to be
seriously but not fatally hurt. Their
recovery was assured, and a bulletin
to that effect issued by the hospital
staff gave widespread joy among the
public.
Eleanor, strengthened by the treat
ment Of her physician, was soon able
to be up and around for a few days
and prepare to go to the sanatorium.
She noticed that a great change had
come over her father. He would sit in
his library and gaze out Of a window
for long periods, evidently In a pro-
nouneed reflective mood, most unusual,
she knew. for that big. active brain
and body that for years had been al
most superhuman in physical energy.
Eleanor sent for Brand to say good
bv before she left for East Tarrytown
and to talk to him about the trans
formation in her fathers attitude. She
felt that she knew the reason for it
She wanted Brand to be informed on
he subject and now she felt instine-
lively that he and Brand could be
together in friendly bonds.
