 whether he were glad or wretehed Al

 On account of them he was grateful l for this refuge But, on the other hand,
 he experienced a growing alarm over this intimate relation with Vain wright, the renowned foe of criminals such as he. There was something mon strOus to Walter in the fact that he, the thief, was here posing openly, if not boldly as the brother-in-law of the most effective district attorney New York had ever possessed. whose popu- larity thus secured bade fair now to make the man the chief executive of the state. This association with Vain
 wright kept the youth in constant tremor of apprehension lest the worst befall He expostuated in vain with

 On his part. Walter. drawn by her | 1afnt. face and demure manner, was inclined to think that he might make

 IL was otherwise with LueeHe Tue burden of guilt drained her forces. She had pleaded with Andrew in vain for the privilege ot open confession, of Che whole truth concerning her past life, to her husband. Such cahdor had been the instinct of her innocence, and that instinct was never slain, though choked to silence by the spacious sophistries of the Master Mind. He succeeded. however, in convincing her superficially that perfect frankness to her husband would repeI. would drive the lover from her arms. If Wainwright was the one most happy in wholesome wise it was the Master Mind himself who found an | unholy happiness in the bizarre situa-  ly for the ultimate accomplishment of his revenge. Thus far in truth his success had been unequivocal. There had been no failure anywhere in the processes he had evolved for the con summation of his revenge against the man he hated.
 
 In tie drawing room of the Vain wright mansion Blount was pacing to and fro somewhat nervously breeding over many things and wondering nightly as 10 when he should be per mitted to return to the tranquil pleas ures of Laramie, Wyo.. where he knew not fear and where he was respected of all men.
