AS Kin2G1ury turned TO tie telr-
phone down the hall Trench stepped
close to the portieres which covered
the doorway leading into the room in
which Cruthers waited The politician
had heard sound faint, but one that
reused his interest.
He parted the curtains, and slow
smile touched his thin lips.
The front window was being raised,
and as the sash went up, Cruthers,
awkward in his haste, slipped through
and onto the front veranda.
Trench dropped the curtains. Then,
as Tom came down the hail, the poll
tician turned to the telephone.
Cruthers, not realizing that his es-
cape had been noted, hesitatcd a mo-
ment shielded by the vines His face
was a study. A look of ,,ctual fear
drew deep lines about his mouth.
The man was so palpably nervous
that he seemed without power to
move.
The front door was straight ahead,
and the lawyer turned in that direc-
ton. Then he wheeled and, climbing
the rail, dropped to the ground
With deep-drawn breath he swung
across the lawn, climbed the fence,
and lodged into the heavy shadows of
an elm.
His glance was on the house. Seem.
ingly treasured by lack of sound from
that quarter which would announce
that his absence had been noted he
turned and hurried across the street.
He covered block, going toward the
city, in long strides, and again and
again he glanced back toward the lit
tie cottage.
He was more himself now. BY the
time he had put dozen blocks be.
tween him and the scene of the trag.
edy. he was a good deal at his ease
And yet he hurried on as IL his life
depended upon his speed.
Dead, dead" he muttered again
| and again.
He caught a street.car, and was in
the center Of the city in short order.
3Swinging down, he started for his Of.
fice, still muttering to himself
/ once he halted, and his head lifted
with start
"He said there was nothing to show
my Bat can't take chances can't
IL can't" and he was on his way, al.
most at run.
As he was about to turn into the
building where his Offices were locat
ed man stepped out of the hallway
above.
Cmthers barely checked smother
ed cry. Then, as he recognized the
man, he seized him by the arm and
literally dragged him after him.
where in the name of heaven
have you been?" snapped Cruthers
once the Two were in the lawyers
ONCE.
where have | been? Well In
here now, and | want money--see~
There was q nasty sheer about the
fellows mouth, and Cruther's eye'
narrowed.
