"No; I'll come.'

"Thanks::"
The word was followed by discon-
Meeting click, and mechanically Dozy put
up his own receiver.
What was he in for now? He looked
at the time. Ten-forty. Thank heaven
it was raining and there would be no one
out, and with rain-coat collar up and his
hat-brim down he would hardly be recOg-
nized if he were seen.
He was ready to start in two minutes,
and spent the next three in such disquiet-
ing conjectures that it was relief to his
mind to get out and use his legs. The
street was not so deserted as he had
hoped, however. A couple of motors slid
by the house as he was leaving it, two
umbrellaless girls scurried past, and there
were several men with up-turned collars
and down-turned hats hurrying along.
He noticed in passing, that the Welles-
Hewitt house was dark. The body of the
dead man had been removed and accord
ing to Nose, the belongings of the late
occupants had all been taken away. But
to Dozy the place still presented a glover
ing. sinister aspect which increased his
sense of Tia seriousness of his errand.
What servic might Brown not ask of
him?
Turning northward along the park wall.
he gazed sharply ahead. Several blocks
away a figure could be seen coming rapidly
toward him. Was it Brown? Probably;
for there was no one else coming that way.
But behind himself there was somebody
he could hear the heel-taps; and after
a moment, looking back, he saw a man
with his hat over his eyes, walking briskly.
Dozy slowed down little, thinking it
might be better to let the man pass him
before he met Brown. But no, he in
stantly reconsidered, that might attract
attention. To dawdle along on such a
night would look queer, not only to the
man behind him, but to any patrolman
who happened to notice. He could see
the big form of one now in the entrance
of an apartment-house across the street,
and there would be others along the way.
The thing to do was to act naturally,
and when he met Brown to pretend to be
surprised. Accordingly he quickened his
pace again.
The meeting occurred near lamp
post, to DoZy's disgust. But at sight of
Browns face, so haggard and gray and
strange that under other conditions he
would hardly have known it for Browns,
he forgot his plans for caution and silently
reached out an eager sympathetic hand,
which the other silently gripped. But the
next moment, remembering the man be-
hind him, Dozy said anXiously: "Come
on. We cant stand here in the rain; it'll
look funny and, turning, started on
again.
FOR IA dozen PAGES neither spoke; then
Brown himself broke the awkward
pause.
81 felt sure you'd come, Cullop, he
said gratefully; "but before ask you to
do anything more | want to tell you some
thing. | can imagine that you haven't

MAGAZINE SECTION for March e5, 1917

Lars Johansen smiled family.
"Well, know it has occurred to you,
Miles,
"Of coursel Look at the eridence!
There's the similarity of the blow. If the
motive was revenge, that was Intentional.
Then there's Mrs. Gils story of Browns
hatred of Welles-Hewitt. The boy may
have had that instiLied into him by his
mother"
Il doubt that, Miles, Johansen an
swered. "If she had been Spaniard or
Italian, yes; but she was English. 1t
isn't likely that she would have poisoned
her child's mind in such a way
perhaps not. But there's Miss
Yznaga's story of her meeting with
Brown, his refusal to come to her home,
for reason he would not explain. If
his father killed her father, wasn't that
reason enough? And why should he go
to Spitzen to look up the history of the
McRaes if he is not the son?'
Here Scarborough spoke:
"The point think important about
that Spitzen inquiry is that Browns in
terest seems to have been mainly in the
mentality of the two McRaes-in their
queerness. There are the questions he
asked about the boy Roderick: was he
different from other boys, and did he
ever act strangely? Isn't it possible that
he may have been trying to trace some
mental eccentricity of his own in his
father and grandfather
Redding looked puzzled.

"What | mean is this, said Scar

Tim paused, glancing at his listeners.
He was on the point of telling them of
his talk with Brown about dual person.
alty, and of Dozy's theory that Brown
himself had a second personality. All
the way back from Spitzen he had toyed
with the bizarre hypothesis until it no
longer appeared impossibly fantastic.
But the words he was about to speak
seemed suddenly to slip down his throat.
He saw the idea now as he had seen it
first, and as the two shrewd, practical
men before him would see it. So, to
cover his false start, he merely added:
"What l mean is that. having talked
with Brown, | can't quite bring myself
to believe he is the murderer"
"That's how | feel about Gill, said
Johansen. "Absurd as his story of the
signed papers seems to be, he sticks to
it, and l am inclined to believe him
But where are his papers?" Redding
demanded. "Welles-Hewitt didn't de-
stroy them if, as Gil says, he meant to
give them to him for his twenty thousand.
And why steal them? They're no good.
"Oh, don't ask questions, Miles," pro-
tested Johansen. "We can all do that.
THEY fell then into general talk about
the case, reviewing it in its different
aspects. The time passed rapidly. Ten
O'Clock struck unnoted. Johansen lin
gered, waiting for an opening, and when
it suddenly came he took advantage of it.
"Theres one thing sure, Redding said.

we get Brown"

why. Without reason he felt nervous;
and, against his will, he began to walk
faster. If only Brown would tell him
what he wanted him to do, and let him
go! But he didn't want to broach the
subject himself, to seem anxious to get
away. He couldn't be heartless; the poor
chap looked as if he had been through hell

ruptly, simply forced by his nervousness
to speak.
"Thank you. I gathered that you had,

"Thanks, said Brown again; and, as
if divining the others impatence, he con-
tinued:
81 don't want to keep you. What |
want to ask you to do for me is this:
l have some papers that would like to
have put in a safe place. They're private
papers, and | should hate to have the
police or the newspapers get them fl
should be arrested-or give myself up
He waited for moment, hoping, per-
haps, for response, but, getting none,
went on again, little falteringly:
81 thought you-might be willing to
put them away for me somewhere-where
they would be safe and-I could get
them-later."
HE stopped again, and it was plain
now that he expected an answer; but
for time none came, The word spa
pers' had startled Dozy. 1t was omnous,
with all Gil's talk about his papers.
81 can give you my word of honor that
the papers are mine, Brown said sud-
denly.
"Of course!" Dozy exclaimed, embar-
rassed at having been read. yet relieved
by the assurance Il guess | can do
that all right, he added.
AT once Browns hand went into an
inner pocket and brought out thin
white package, and held it out to Dozy,
pocket of his own.
Its no use my trying to thank you,
Cullop," Brown began, speaking in
tirmer, somewhat louder tone, which
Dozy instantly hushed with warning
whisper:
Ssh! Don't talk so loud. That mans
right behind us.
"What."
lnvoluntarlly Brown turned his head,
and the next moment they had both
wheeled and sprung back; for from the
man following them there came a sharp
order:
Hands up!"
1t was TIM Even the two quick
words were enough to tell Dozy that.
Tim! What did it mean?
Hands up!" Scarborough repeated.
But nothing was farther from Dozy's
thoughts than to obey. Almost auto
matically he turned and ran.
"Stop!" Scarborough called. "Or I'll
shoot!'
But Dozy did not stop; he knew Tim
would not fire at him. And. even had he
not been sure of it, he would have kept
on. For the horrible fear had come to
him that Brown must think he had be-
trayed him. What else could he think?
And the one way to prove himself was
to save those papers from the police
That he would do at any cost.

"What's that?" Redding sat up. "A
message from BrOpn?"
Johansen repeated Mrs. Gils story,
ending with the description of the mes
senger: "About nineteen, slim and not
tall, has red hair and Southern accent"
At the final words Scarborough gave
an almost perceptible start, and Redding
said crisply:
"Well, that IS news! Heard anything
of that before?" he inquired of Tim.
@Not word" said Tim.

Johansen rose His purpose accom-
plished, he saw no reason for remaining
any longer, especially as the discussion
of the case was about finished
"Ill say good night, Miles," he said.
"If there is anything | can do, you'll call
on me-about the extra men, | mean.
Or anything else, for that matter
"Yes, thanks; I'll think your offer
over, said Redding. Good night. You
off too, Scarborough? All right. I'll see
you in the morning. Good night"
1t was raining, Tim found, as he
emerged from the house. He buttoned
his overcoat and raised the collar, then
pulled his hat firmly over his forehead.
Now for Dozy," he said to himself.
"VOU is wanted at de telephone, Mis-
ter Dozy."

"I'll bet it is.
Dozy started reluctantly for the tele-
phone. OF course it was Tim! All after
noon-ever since he had known of Valentin
Gil's arrest-Dozy had been expecting
to hear from Scarborough.
Following his call on Miss Yznaga the
morning after the murder, he had been
summoned to Police Headquarters to de-
scribe again his meeting with the mur-
derer; but since then he had been left
alone. the inquest having been postponed.
But Gil's arrest had worried him greatly,
bringing him the first misgivings he had
Until then his knowledge of Browns Sc
cret had seemed to justify any help he
could give the poor fellow. But now,
with another man-innocent, perhaps
under suspicion he was not sure.
He caught up the receiver.
"Well. what is it?" he said, trife
beligerently. Why couldn't Tim leave
him alone, anyhow?
There was silence on the wire, still

Supernatural grace is hers; it
watched over her cradle, has followed
her in all her ways through all her
centuries, and has not forsaken her
yet. She is not, like Professionalism,
concession to the negative spirit, an
unholy compromise with naturalism.
Everything about her is positive and
transcendant; she is the bearer of di-
vine truth, the representative of d.
vine order, the supernatural living in
the very heart, and before the very
fact of the natural. The saints, too,
are hers, and the man she receives
Joins their communion, enjoys their
sgodly fellowship, feels their influence,
participates in their merit and the
blessings they distribute. Their earth
ly life made the past of the Church
illustrious, their heavenly activity
binds the visible and the invisible in
to unity, and lifts time into eternity.
To honor the saints is to honor sane
tity; the Church which teaches man
to live holy, helps him to love holt
ness. And the fathers are hers; their
laborings, sufferings, martyrdoms,
were for her sake; she treasures their
words and their works; her sons alone
are able to say: 'Athanasius and
Chrysostom, Thomas Aquinas, and
Duns Scotus, Cyprian and Augustine,
Anselm and Bernard are ours; their
wealth is our Inheritance; at their
feet we learn filial reverence and di-
vine wisdom
But rich as she is in persons, she
is richer in truth; her worship is a
great deep. Hidden sanctities and
meanings surround man; the sacra-
mental principle invests the simplest
things, acts and rites with an awful
yet blissful significance; turns all wor-
ship into a divine parable, which
speaks the deep things of God, now
into a medium of His gracious and
consolatory approach to man, and
mans awed and contrite, hopeful and
prevailing approach to Him.

hard work got us on our feet again;
but l never shall forget the lecture
to which the driver and myself were
treated by her ladyship, and, I'm sorry
to say, that at the end of it we did
not think to pass the hat.
About 6 P. M. we reached Church S
Ferry. There we found that the rail-
road company had not yet been able
to clear the track; it was only on the
following morning that the first train
from the east went through. Some
passengers who got off told us their
experience. They had been on the
train Wednesday evening and were
showed in at Niagara, North Dakota,
where they remained till Saturday
afternoon. On Friday neighboring
farmer had brought them some food
after they had entirely cleaned out
the pantry and buffet on the dining
car. On Saturday they were taken to
the next town east and remained there
till Sunday night.
Monday night a train took me final.
ly to Devils Lake, and thus was home
again eight days after starting on my
trip, having needed a whole week for
marrying a couple, but the experience
of the trip, especially it's humorous
side, was worth while.
