The Washington times., 1919-02-12

In reviewing the predicament, a
few months later, the adjutant was
certain the triangle had been cut
from the chart before the two
strange officers had entered his Of
fee.
His back had been turned'to the
door as he answered the telephone,
hearing the knob turn he glanced
automatically in that direction, saw
the officers crter, and at the same
moment noted that the chart on his
desk had been slashed.
When inconceivable things hap
pen to a man in broad daylight,
the psychic processes are much the
same. The mental graphing hooks
seem to suspend action for a few
moment, there is a blank, then la
boriousIy they take up the situa-
tion and begin to reconcile the i'm
possible with the probable. The
adjutant was in the thrOcs of such
a situation, when the two officers
stepped to his desk, where the
white chart stared up at them like
a curious eye with malformed
triangular pupil.
Their business was nothing more
important than an inquiry regard
ing a friend, recently stationed at
Fort Mysr, but now transferred to
another post. Immediately they
;ook their departure, leaving the
stunned sdjutant to ponder over
the situation of the slashed chart
and the scurrying brown mice. "a
brown mouse, who ever heard of
such a thing" he asked himself,
as the door opened a second time,
and Major Knowles, with Captain
Henderson, entered.
The adjutant, a reserved man at
best, surprised the two friends by
the enthusiasm of his greeting. The
atmosphere in the office had grown
a trife "spooky." He would have
felt almost like welcoming a Hun,
and the advent of his two old
friends seemed particularly oppor-
tune.
"Am I just coming out Of the
ether, or WHAT" and he related the
events of the past three or four
minutes, brown mouse and all.
did you know those two off
eers?" Henderson and Knowles ca
gerly inquired.

dows, nor anyone in sight. The NOV
ing trolley was more than three feet
from the ground and the motorman
declared no one had been on his
platform, nor had he seen anyone.
The conductor on the rear plat
form repeated the motorman's story
about not having seen anyone, and
added it would go hard with a pas
senger who jumped the car at that
point.
Kimball rejoined Madeline. 81
don't wonder that you begin to see
faces, dearest" The girl slipped her
hand in his and together they rode
in silence till they reached their des-
tination.
The trolley deposited them at a
tiny open shed and sped along the
converging lines of track, glimmer-
ing silvery in the moonlight, then
dropped behind the hill. 1t was a
beautiful rolling country of hill and
woodland, and the silence that en-
veIoped them as the trolley retreat
ed, beat at their ear drums like the
sound of waves on the shore.
where do we go from here boy?"
Madeline quoted with an attempt at
gayety she was far from feeling. The
woods seemed full of unseen menac-
ing figures; the darkness full Of
peering eyes that slanted; but she

Then followed, as a postscript, an
assortment of dots and dashes, SYM
bols of the Morse code that KimbalI
Knowles and Henderson had deter
mined, since coming together in this
momentous partnership, to use only
in case of emergency. The cryptic
signs spelled out an as o S" that
the officers had agreed never to dis
regard, no matter when or where It
should be given. That it was alb
solutely unknown to anyone but the
three, Kimball would have taken mis-
oath.

ing to disregard part of the letter
and leave you here, and investigate
this alone"
Madeline laughed up at him: Re
member, l have not yet promised to
love, honor and OBEY you, and am
not going to be left here alone. Look
at the things that have happened to
me when | have been left here, be-
fore. l am going out to that old
place in Virginia and you are going
to take me-

Are you willing to take chances
on leaving me here in your absence? 4?
What is the name Of the old placer"
It's known as The Chichester
place, and it was left to Knowles
quite Unexpectedly a year or two ago
by an eccentric old great-aunt Of his.
She was the widow Of a scientist who
had rigged up a colossal furnace for

mo; his hobby was something
quite different; it had to do with ra-
dium. When Knowles told me about
inheriting the old place he thought
it remarkable that it should have a
furnace capable of making our tests.

ct sounds highly interesting,
couldn't you throw in a ghost too
well, I'm going to put on my long
fur coat and be prepared for any
emergency" She waved him good
by and the waiting elevator bore her
upward.
In the meantime her lover sat por-
ing over the letter. The Morse
characters that met his eye spelled
out the sentence the three friends
had agreed upon to rap out, write,
or signal to each other in case of
direst emergency. OF the genuine
ness of the signal there could be no
doubt, but the strange handwriting
created a strong element of distrust
in Kimball's mind.
"Why had not Henderson written?
And why was there no mention Of
Henderson in Madeline's note?"
He was still pondering over the
situation when Madeline returned,
lovelier than ever in her furs.
There are two ways of going TO
the old Chichester place, there is an
uncertain trolley that starts from
Georgetown and usually breaks
down, or is subject to other ailments,
and there is, of course, a taxi"
81 distrust taxis after some of
our late experiences" Madeline said,
well take the trolley and put our
trust in Providence"
'I've doped it out" Kimball re-
marked, that we'll get off at the
station this side of the farm, rather
than the one just past it, which is
nearer-you know how to shoot, of
course, coming from Colorado?"
"I've got the trustiest little pistol
east Of the Rockies" the girl said,
tapping her pocket, lit hasn't failed

And without another word they
stepped out into the street. Kimball
looked about him, as it had become
second nature to do, but there was
no one following, nor did their ap-
pearance cause the slightest inter
est to the casual pedestrians. They
boarded an Avenue car, at the first
yellow lozenge, and rode as far as
Thirty-sixth street, and then pro-
ceeded to wait in a vast, shedlike
structure open at both ends to the

On receipt of the mysterious note
at the Raleigh Hotel Madeline start

more than half suspecting to find
Mrs. Thayer awaiting ner with some
excuse, more or less plausible. Kim

produced by the dramatic arrival of
the letter, followed. Whatever hap
pened, he had determined on one
thing-not to let the girl out of his
sight again that evening.

Madeline turned toward him a Duz-
zled face, 'the note is signed by
Major Knowles, though it is not in
his handwriting. He explains this
by an accident that has happened
to his hand"
"Are there any marks-dots and
dashes-on the letter."
YES" she answered scrutinizing
some signs at the end closely. Kim

and read the page she held up TO
