So much for years Of caution and the
annual gift to Ssint Jude's.
AS a matter Of fact, the Agrarlan at
fair was calanitous in several ways. II
bore too close a resemblance to a ST.
Louis matter OF several years back, in
which Boro6ay had come under sus-
picion.
On Tuesday morning, the cash being
more than the bank cared to have about,
two hundred and ten thousand dollars
was sent to the clearing house. Two
clerks from the bank accompanied the
messenger, who went by taxicab.
There are two direct routes to the
clearing house; one along one Of the great
avenues, the other through tho newspaper
district. Here, at 10:S0 in the morning.
things are rather quiet, and except for
vans delivering rolls of paper, there is
little traffic.
The taxicab went by this latter route
Opposite the Record office, where the
presses stood. Ellent monsters waiting to
leap old Hilary Kingston was standing,
kidgloved AMI wearing the gray derby
hat he affected. AS the taxlcab bore down
toward him he halted II.
"Taxi!" he called.
The taxicab slowed down. Old Hilary,
seeing It occupied, waved It off with his
stick. But IL had come to a full stop.
There was an alleyway beside the Record
Building, and now three men ran out
from there, and thrust revolvers through

So Mr.. Ward climbed the hill, and
whistled. One may think while whistlng
He thought of the cricket club, and Of the
injustice Of his arrest the day before for
speeding his car From that to old
Hilary's French machine, and wonder
IL II would be sold now-and so to Elinor.
He was young and vigorous. and Elinor's
face had been but a temporary obsession.
Nevertheless, as he approached the house
his heart beat little faster. Boroday
met him in the hall. Old Hilary was up
stairs by that time, lying in his great
bed. All the doors and windows were
open, and sunshine filled the rooms. Ward
thought It an unusually sane house Of
mourning.
I'm glad to see the SUM-" he said 80

Miss Kingston wished things undis-
turbed."
II came UP to tell her-but I suppose
she doesn't care to see any one-the rec
tor is away on holiday. I'll wire him.
OF course"
Boroday led the way into the library,
where the rector had so recently received
his check. He turned and eyed Ward

asked. 1T is a little late for-the com

That would be It. Boroday eased his
