No one seems to entertain any
doubts that Governor Davis will be
reelected or that Harding will carry
Idaho by an overwhelming majority.
If one candidate, running on the demo-
cratic and nonpartizan tickets in 1918
could not defeat Davis, how can two
candidates, dividing the vote, hope to
defeat him? 1t looks like cinch Tor
Davis and for every republican who
is opposed by two candidates, split
ting the vote against him.

She hardly even knew how 1t hap
pened. The little place was so small
that she never saw the hole until 1t
had engulfed two OF the trio; the third
explorer, Mr.. Drinkwater himself had
very courteously turned her out of the
library before following the others
And he had said so very little before

prevented Cazalet from saying any
thing at all, that she simply could not
think what any Of them were doing

Under her very feet she heard them
moving as she waited bit in the hall;
then she left the house by way of the

holding any communication with those

Mr. Drinkwater should have requested
her not to do so.

She turned her wholesome mind to
dogs which in some ways she knew
better and trusted further than men.
There was a dog at. Uplands, and as
yet she had seen nothing of him; he
lived in a. large kennel in the yard,
for he was large dog and rather
friendless. But Blanche knew him by
sight, and had felt always sorry for
him.
The large kennel was just outside
the back door, which was at the top
of the cellar steps and at the bot
tom of two or three leading into the
scullery; but Blanche, Of course, went
round by the garden. She found the
poor old dog quite disconsolate in
more canine kennel in a corner of the
one that was really worthy of the
more formidable carnivora. There was
every sign of his being treated as the
dangerous dog that Blanche, indeed,
had heard he was; the outer bars were

fully to show you how it's DONE
Cazalet excused himself with deci-
sion. He had full morning in front
of him. He was going to see Miss
Macnair's brother son of the late head
of his fathers old firm of solicitors,
and now one of the partners, to get
them either to take up Scruton's case
themselves, or else to recommend
firm perhaps more accustomed to
criminal practice. Cazalet was always
apt to be elaborate in the first person
singular, either in the past or in the
future tense; but he was more so
than usual in explaining his consid-
cred intentions in this matter that
lay so very near his heart.

Savage said this with a pleased and
vacuous grin, looking Cazalet full in
the face; his rheumy eyes were red
as the sunset they faced and Cazalet
drew deep breath as Blanche and he
turned back toward the river.

Cazalet.

must have known something, or else
it's bully fuke in his favor"

I'm thinking of finger-prints. If
he'd just've laid those things right
down, he'd have left the print of his
hand as large as life for Scotland

"The devil he would" exclaimed
Cazalet 81 wish you'd explain" he
added; remember I'm wild man
from the woods, and only know of
these things by the vaguest kind of
hearsay and stray paragraphs in the
papers. / never knew you could leave
your mark so easily as all that"
Toye took the breakfast menu and
placed it face downward on the table

down" he said, and don't move it
for a minute"
Cazalet looked at him a moment
before complying; then his fine, shape
ly, sunburnt hand lay still as plaster
under their eyes until Toye told him
he might take it up, Of course there
was no mark whatever, and Cazalet
laughed.
"You should have caught me when
l came up from those foundations,
not fresh from my tub" said he.
"You wait" replied Hilton Toye,
taking the menu gingerly by the edge,
and putting it out of harms way in
the empty toast-rack. "You can't see
anything now, but if you come round
to the Savoy I'll show you something"

Saturday afternoon in the summer hol-
idayC. l came in here from the gar
den as my father went out by that
door into the hall, leaving one of
these mahogany doors open by mis-
take. It was the chance of my life;
in | slipped to have a look. He came
back for something, saw the very door
you've broken standing ajar, and shut
it without looking in. So there | was
in a nice old trap! l simply daren't
call out and give myself away. There
was a bit of loose oilcloth on the
floor"
There is STILL" said the satellite,
pausing in his task.
Il moved the oilcloth, in the end;
hawked up one end of the board duck
lily they weren't groove and tongue),
sawed through the next one to it, had
it up, too, and got through into the
foundations, leaving everything much
as | had found it. The place is so
small that the oilcloth was obliged to
fall in place if it fell anywhere But
l had plenty of time, because my.
people had gone in to dinner"
You ought to have been a burglar,
sir" said Mr.. Drinkwater ironically.
$50 you covered up a sin with a crime,
like half the gentlemen who go
through my hands for the first and
last time But how did you get out
of the foundations?"
"Oh, that was as easy as pie; I'd
often explored them. Do you remem-
Der the row I got into, Blanche, for
taking you with me once and simply
running your frock"

Blanche.

conversation; immediate develop
ments not only put an end to the fur

Then the gong went-there may even
have come knock at the door-and
there was that cupboard standing open
at his elbow"
with a hole in the floor that might
have been made for him?"
GAS it happens, yes; he'd search
every inch like a rat in trap, you
see; and there it was as I'd left it
twenty years before"
"Weu it's a wonderful warm" ex-
claimed Hilton Tove, and he lighted
the cigar that Cazalet had given him.

Nobody could have minded this par
ticular embargo less than Hilton Toye.
He saw Cazalet off with a smile that
was as yet merely puzzled, and not
unfriendly until he had time to recall
Miss Blanche's part in the strange
affair of the previous afternoon.
Say. weren't they rather intimate,
those two, even if they had known
each other all their lives? He had it
from Blanche with her second re-
fusaD that she was not, and never
had been, engaged. And a fellow who
only wrote to her once in year
still, they must have been darned in
innate, and this funny affair would
bring them together again quicker
than anything. r --- ,.sst..a ,yga
SAY. what a funny affair it was when
you came to thing Of it, Funny all
through, it now struck Toye; begin
ming en- board ship with that dream of
Cazalet's about tho murdered man,
leading to all that talk of the old
grievance against him, and culminat-
ing in his actually finding the imple-
ments of the crime in his inspired eff
forts to save the man of whose inno-
cence he was so positive. Say, if
that Cazalot had not been on his way
home from Australia at the time!

thought like lightning and had reached
