The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1917-10-06

most instantly a stout woman, evil
IDENTIFY servant, crossed my range of
vision. She caressed and talked to
the leaping animal and walked to the
fence, as If expecting that the anil
mails arrival prefaced that OF its ex-
pected master. She came directly up
to Marvel, the fence between them.
He spoke to her and she answered
him, took a look down the al
ley, and, turning, went back towards
a pretentious appearing mansion
facing the avenue.
Drive to the next street and wait
for u.s." Marvel said to the chauffeur,
and beckoned me to join him.
I'VE will get around to the front
Of the house." he remarked, as we
completed the length of the lane. and
turned to carry out this plan. That
Is the home of the dog. l asked the
woman you saw If the dog belonged
there"
And she said yes?"
with the addendum that It's owner
she wondered why he did not come
home with the animal, as he usually
did"
It was no task to locate the front
of the lot where the dog had run to
cover. 1t was an imposing stone
structure. We halted in front of it,
and my friend read aloud the name
engraven on the broad old-style sill
yer plate on one of the ornamental
front doors:
Arnold Buckingham"
Then Resilius Marvel looked at me,
and my eyes meeting his expressive
glance, full of wonder, reflected some
what manifest surprise, IL not a
positive shock in his own.
There was not q better name at the
banks than that Of Arnold Bucking-
ham. Resilius Marvel knew it from
hearsay, and / from practical knowl-
edge of a financial responsibility rated
way up In the millions. There could
not help but be a direct challenge in
my face. My companion simply
shrugged his shoulders.
Come" he said, his course Of pro-
cedure boldly formulated in his mind
within the space Of a minute. and he
led the way up the steps, rang the
front door bell and stepped inside the
vestibule.
l wondered what strange freak Of
fate had led US to this lordly mansion,
to the presence of a man retired from
active business with royal fortune,
his honored record a syaoRym for
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1917-10-06

| terfeit 500 treasury notes on the
city banks"
The old man, his hands grasping
| the arms of the chair, tried to hold
himself together. He directed one
look at Marvel-reproachfu pleading.
a lost look. His were the eyes of a
man who saw stranger enter his
presence and bring a stately fabric
into the midst Of sudden devastation
| and ruin.
"Where-where Is my nephew" his
| lips framed, rather than uttered.
How came he to find the notes."
1t was an admission, and I noted
Marvels lips settle grimly-a point
scored, start made.
II you had the notes in this house"
he ventured audaciously, what Of the
| plates from which they were print
ed?"
You know all! Then it is-ruin!"
broke in despairing cry from the
old mans lips.
"Quick, call someone" directed
Marvel, as Buckingham fell to one
side. A spasm convulsed his frame
and he lay rigid and speechless. My
| friend had lifted him to an easier posi-
ton, while fastened to the hall and
| advised the servant there of his mas
ter's condition.
We waited until after a physician
had been called. He shook his head
seriously while they placed the mill
liOnaire on couch. Then he went
to work on him. His attitude be-
came more reassuring as the patient
recovered consciousness and looked
| about him in a bewildered way. Then
as his eye fell on Marvel the old
fright or fear, terror or apprehension.
or whatever it was, came back into
his face.
Take" he urged. "a blank signed
check. FIJI in for any amount, only
