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
into the midst of sudden devastation
and ruin.
"Where-where is my nephew" his
lips framed, rather than uttered.

"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 l 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 mil
liOnaire on a 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. Fill in for any amount, only
save-save my family from shame"
And the plates?" gently but firm
ly persisted Marvel, waving back the
proffered check.

We saw that he was going into an
other sinking spell. Marvel hastily
summoned the physician. and we

was, would proceed in a case where
the sure criminal trail led straight
from the portals of common prison
to this abode of luxury and wealth.
A servant answered a question put
by Marvel, and ushered him into a
majestic reception room, took his
card, and we both arose as man

apartment with an easy, old-fashioned
sense of courtesy that charmed me.

the leaping animal and walked to the
fence, as if expecting that the ami

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.

and beckoned me to join him.

1t was no task to locate the front
of the lot where the dog had run to
