CLYDE JAYNES DOES NOT CARE
TO PROSECUTE

We'll, how are you this morning."
! Jaynes STROBE into his sons room
bringing al air of business alertness
into the peaceful quiet. He signaled
to the nurse to withdraw by a slight
motion of the head.
'The doctor says you are we'll
enough to talk a little this morning,
! Clyde" He drew a chair to the bed
and sat down with his large hands
| over his knees, looking earnestly at
his son.
Il want to ask IL you have any
idea who shot you. The detective
working on the case has discovered
nothing. He thought you might be
able to furnish some clue"
Clyde frowned. Tell him to drop
it, Dad. What is the use?" The tone
was irritated.
I'VE surely do not want to sit
down and let the would be assassin
escape unpublished" said the father
with some heat
I'VE do not want the thing made
more public than it already is II
nothing Is done about it, the thing
will cease to be a nine days wonder
and be forgotten" replied the boy.
Have you any idea who it was?"
persisted the father
Il have an idea, but no proof, and
if my idea Is right I want more than
ever to hush the thing up Clyde
drummed nervously on the white
spread with his long pale fingers

had some such idea myself till I had
seen the brother of the girl. When I
spoke OF money he knocked me down."
Good" applauded the father.
Then I offered to marry her. She
was a fine girl, all right. The fellow
insulted me. Said he would see his
sister dea before he would see her
married to such a fellow as I was;
that the earth was too good for me
to walk on and all that rot
And you think he came on here
and shot you?' asked Jaynes, lean
ing forward to look into the boys face.
HE threatened me, that Is all +
know" The tone was urely.
Jaynes gathered his lower lip be-
tween his thmub and finger and re-
garded the boy thoughtfully. why
do you want to do nothing about the
NATTER" he asked.
II do not want to drag the girls
name before the public. hSe has had
the worst of 1t already"
II am glad you have that much
decency left" was the hearty answer
we will drop the matter then. I will
tell the detective that you have no
clue to the mystery and discharge
him." Jaynes dropped his head In
his hands and sat for some time In ST.
lence. When he raised his head and
rose to go even Clyde noticed how
pale and ,haggard he looked.
ave will talk of this matter again

took his leave.
Marjory noticed the haggard look
In the fathers face as he passed out
