and nephew had been face to face
since their memorable interview at
Maple House.

lived hard and showed it, but there
was no weakness in his age and he
met Alan without compromise. He

j. US voice fell still lower. His
words hung and dropaed I'm the silence
OF the room like the far-away throb OF
a great bell on a stIi night. "Yester-
day Clem was crying because you had
not come to the house. I try to think,
Alan, that it's because Glenn Is there

Alan.
''Oidr' said the captain. "Huh, /

captain spoke with pride. He straight
ened his bullet head and poised 4 tot

captain swinging around his eyes.
"about women?"
Alan flushed angrily. He had no re-
tort for the old man. He sat sullenly
silent.
The captain colored too. That's
right" he said with surprising touch
OF choler. 'Sulk. Every badly broken
colt sulks ut the grip OF the bit. What
you need. young man, Is touch of
the whip and you're going to get It."
And then the old man revealed
surprising knowledge OF words that
could lash. At FIRST Alan was indif-
ferent, then amazed, and finally recog-
nized himself beaten at his own game.
He came out Of that interview thor
oughly chastened and with an alto
gether new respect for the old captain.
The captains code was peculiar, to
say the least, and held the passionate
pilgrim in ample regard but. as he
pointed out to Alan, 1t was code OF
honor. 1t played game within rules.
He further remarked that the hawk
was q bird of evil repute but person
ally he preferred him to the eagle that
fouls its own nest. There were other
pregnant phrases that hung in Alan's
mind for some time and half awak-
encd him to a realization of where he
stood. Many man. propped up by
the sustaining atmosphere Of narrow
world, has passed merciless judgment
on such sins as Alan's--metal, un-
proved, sitting in judgment over the
bar that twists in the flame. But the

SYNOPSIS.

Alan Wayne Ii sent away from Red HILL
his home, by his uncle. J. Y, as a moral
failure. Glenn runs after him in a tangle
OF short skirts to bid him good-by. Cap
tain Wayne tells Alan of the failing of the
Waynes. Glenn drinks Alan's health on his
birthday. Judge Healey defends Alan In
his business with his employers. Alan and
Alix meet at sea, homeward bound, and
start a Irritation. At home, Nance Ster-
ling asks Alan to go away from Alix. Alix
II taken to task by Gerry. her husband.
for her conduct with Alan and defies him.
Gerry, as he thinks. sees Alix and Alan
clipping, drops everything. and goes to
Pernambuco. Alix leaves Alan on the
train and goes home. Gerry leaves Per-
namhuco and goes to Piranhas. On
canoe trip he meets q native girl. The
judge falls to trace Gerry. A baby is born
to Alix. The native girl takes Gerry to
her home, and shows him the ruined
plantation she Is mistress of. Gerry mar
ries her. At Maple house Collingeford
tells how he met Alan-"Ten Per Cent
Wayne"-building q bridge in Africa

"Oh," said Alix. ut wasn't the baby.
Not altogether. You see, Mr.. Collinge-
ford, Gerry Lansing-I'm Mrs. Gerry
disappeared over a year ago-before
the baby came. He thought I didn't
love him. I might as well tell you
about it. I believe in telling things.
Mystery Is always more dangerous
than truth; 1t gives such q lead to
ina gination."
So she told him and Collingeford
listened, interested. At the end he
said nothing. Alix looked at his
thoughtful face. "What do you think
Isn't there a chance? Don't you think
he's probably-probably alive?"
The Judge was not there to hear the
meek appeal Of faith for comfort. Col
lingeford met Alix' eyes frankly. IF
l were you," he said, 81 would prob.
ably believe as you do. I've met toe
many dead men In Piccadilly looking
uncommonly well ever to say that q
man Is dead because he's disappeared
Then there's the other side of 1t. Bod.
sky says a man is never dead while
there's anybody left that loves him.
'"rne judge told me about Bodsky
He's the man that said there had been
lots Of murderers he'd like to take te
his club. He must be worth while
I'd like to talk to him."
II don't suppose" said Collingeford
absently, that Bodsky has talked to
woman since he killed his mistress"
Alix started and looked up from hel
work. Don't you think you had bet

1t was Collingeford's turn to start

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
ms scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. It
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hood S,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.
