He looked at Amy, smiled and
strolled over to gaze at photograph
In the far corner Of the room. Amy
glided after him, to stand by his side
and fondle his hand in silent sym
pathy. Ellen looked hngingly at the
couple, but fingered to hear what her
father was saying to the official.
"This charge of conspiracy clearly
indicates his delusional predlsposition.
You have my word, sir, that he was
and Is mentally irresponsible for his
actions, in the full legal senses Of the
term"
The official looked his concern. "Sor-
ry, doctor, but in the case of a war
rant"
"Very true" agreed the physician.
HE must be kept in custody, unless
admitted to bail. That does not pre-
vent you from deputizlng me and plac-
ing him In my custody. What he re-
qulres is sanitarlum treatment. Con-
finement in Jail would probably shat
ter his mind beyond all hope Of recov-
cry. The sanitarium, on the con-
trary, may restore him to his old self
and enable him to remember how he
lost the bonds"
BENIN smiled suavely at the police
official. "Ah. In that case I venture
to request you to accede to Doctor
Klrkland's suggestion. feel sure you
may safely mtrust Mr.. Lowrie in his

for It; but considering the circum-

When BENIN drove up to the Kirk

he found Clinton doing in a swing
bench, and the girls on guard over
him. Each had her charming nose in
a magazine that she might not be
