on his chest, pegging out his arms
on the turf. He tried struggle
or two, but he soon saw that l was
far the stronger man, and so lay
painting, with a hopeless despair in
his face, that, in a man of his age
was shocking to witness. He had
tried to kill me, but, on my honor, l
felt sorry for him.
"Well, Mr.. Hearne,", l said, "and
what does this meant"
"Too DID," he gasped. "Twenty
years ago-different. How did you
suspect? 1t was justice-nothing but
bare justice, by Heaven!"
"Now, what in the world do you
think ann" l asked him, in great
surprise. -,
"a detective. You couldn't deceive
me-"
/ got to my feet with a curse at
the middle l had made of it, and he
sat up staring at me as if he thought
l had gone clean crazy of a sudden.

though I was fool enough to believe
you were one"
"Then why did you follow me to-
night" he asked, with a quick sus-
picion.
"Why did you try to kill me?" l
said. THE truth is, Mr.. Hearne, you
and l are playing risky game. Is
it to be cards on the table, or are we
TO separate and say no more about
it?"
He sat watching me fer time with
a puzzled look. Plainly he was in
great uncertainty of mind.
Perhaps l have nothing to tell"
he said at last.
GA man does not attempt to MUIR
der detectives unless he has a crime
to conceal"
'"That is true" he said, nodding his
head; Every just and true"
There was nothing to be gained by
a long bargaining of secrets with
him. Whatever his business, he could
speedily discover mine if he chose.

He burst into scream of hysteri-
cal laughter, swaying his body to and
fro, and pressing his hands to his
sides as if trying to crush the uncan-
ny merriment out of him; and then,
before l guessed what he was about,
the old fellow was upon me, with his
arms about my neck in mad en-
brace.
Welcome, comrade,' he cried. az,

Princetown Jail for Julius Craig"
1t took good five minutes and a
pull out of flask to get him back
to hard sense Then he told me his
story sitting on fallen stone under
the old cherry tree.
Craig was dearer to him than any
brother, he said, with burst of open
sincerity. There was that between
them that he could never forget while
life remained to him. He had heard
how the man had come under prison
discipline, and had come to help him
escape if that were humanity possible.
OF me or my London employers, he
knew nothing whatever.
He had been shown over the pris-
on, having obtained pass from an
influential friend, and while there
had learned the place where Craig
was daily employed. Yesterday from
the cairn hill he had satisfied himself
that the convict was working in the
gang.
He had crept out this evening to
examine the stream and hedge which
divided the new enclosure from the
moor. When he saw me on his track,
his suspicious as to my business were
confirmed. Either he must give up
his project or my mouth must be
stopped. So he tempted me into the
ruined farm. The rest l knew.
He spoke in an easy, pleasant voice,
with a perfect frankness and good
humor. 1t never seemed to occur to
him that he had done anything I'M
reasonable, anything to which q level
headed man could object. | stared at
him in growing amazement.
There seemed, indeed, only one So
luton before me--that he had become
partially insane.
"You must understand my position
Mr.. Kingsley" he concluded. ~ am

must admit that, as a detective, your
presence was excessively inconven-

/ told him as we walked back to the
inn. He expressed himself an admirer
of their simplicity as we parted for
the night. Mad or not, had found
an assistant who would be of great
help to me. So I let it stay at that
