CHAPTER vi
What Every Man knows--

What Every Man Knows--
/ wasn't gone very long on this sec
ond excursion into the woozy-woozies,
though it was nighttime, and the
shaded electric light was turned on
when 1 opened my eyes and found
Mrs Sheila sitting by the bedside.
The change in Mrs. SheiIa sort of
made me gasp. She wasn't any less
pretty as she sat there with her hands
clasped in her lap, but she was diff
ferent; sober, and with the laugh all
gone out of the big gray eyes, and a
look in them as if she had suddenly
become so wise that nobody could
ever fool her.
"You are feeling better now?" she
asked, when she found me staring at
her.
told her l guessed ] was, but that
my hand hurt me some.
"You have had great shock of some
kind-besides the burn, Jimmie" she
rejoined folding up the bed covers SO
that the bandaged hand would rest
easier. "The doctors are all puzzled.
Does your head feel quite clear now
so that you can think"
ut feels as If l had a crazy clock
in it," / said. "But the thinking part
is all right. Have you heard any
thing from Mr.. Norcross YETI"
"Not word. We have been hop
ing that you could tell us something
when you should recover sufficiently
to talk. Can't you, Jimmie?"
Remembering what Maisie Ann had
told me just before went off the
hooks, ! thought / might tell her a
lot If dared to. But that wouldn't
do. So just said:
IT told Maisie Ann all knew about
Mr.. Norcross. He left the Office some
little time before did-with Mr.. Rip
ley. / didn't know where they were
going"
"They went to the hotel" she helped
out. "Mr. Ripley says they sat in the
lobby until after ten o'clock, and then
Mr.. Norcross went up to his rooms"
OF course, / knew that Mr.. Ripley
knew all about the Hatch ruction /;
but if he hadn't told her, wasn't go
ing to tell her.
"There was some trouble In con-
nection with Mr.. Hatch that evening,
wasn't there?" she asked.
'Hatch had some trouble-yes. But
I guess the boss didn't have any,"
replied.
'Tell me about It," she commanded;
and told her just as little as I could;
how Hatch had had an interview with
the boss earlier in the evening, while
| was away.
ut wasn't a quarrelT she suggested.
"Why should they quarrelT /
asked.
She shook her head. "You are spar

subpoena can find me when I'm
wanted"
"That's all nonsense, and you know
tiff you're not too much Of kid to
know anything" he snapped, shooting
out his heavy jaw at me. 81 merely
wanted to give you a chance to get
rid of the railroad collar, if you felt
like 1t. l like a fighting man; and
you've got nerve. Take a night and
sleep on It. Maybe you'll think diff
ferently in the morning"
Here was another chance for me to
get off with a whole skin, but by this
time l was completely lost to any
sober weighing and measuring Of the
possible consequences. Leaning across
the desk end / gave him a final shot,
just as he was getting up to go.
Listen. Mr. Hateh,' I said. you
haven't fooled me for a single minute.
Your guess is right; l heard every
word that passed between you and
Mr.. Henckel that Monday morning in
the Billiard lobby. AS l say, l haven't

ing to drive into me began to take
hold, just little, in spite of what l
knew--or thought l knew. Was 1t
barely possible, after all, that there
had been foul play of some sort?
In the first place, something had
been done to me by somebody: it was
sure thing that hadn't crippled and
half-killed myself all by my lonesome.
Then they had said that the boss
stayed up with Mr.. Ripley that night
until after Ten o'clock, and had then
gone up to go to bed. That being tho
case, how could anybody have got to
him between that time and the leav-
ing time Of the midnight Fast Mail to
tell him about Mrs. Sheila?
Anyway It was stacked up, 1t made
a three-cornered puzzle, needing some
body to tackle it right away; and
when I finally went to sleep it was
with the notion that, sick or no sicks
was going to turn out early in the
morning and get busy.
was well enough to get up the next
morning, and when / phoned to Mr..
Van Britt he sent his car out to the
majors to take me down to the office.
Just before I left the house, Mrs.
Sheila waylaid me, and after telling
me that l must be careful and not
take cold In the burnt hand, she put
in another word about the boss dis
appearance.
II want you to remember what /
said last night, Jimmie, and not let
the others talk you over into the be-
lief that Mr.. Norcross has gone away
because he was either discouraged or
afraid. He wouldn't do that: you
know it, and / know it. We are his
friends, you and !, and we must stand
by him and defend him when he isn't
here to defend himself"
1t did me good to hear her talk
that way. I had been sort of getting
ready to dislike her for letting the
boss get in so deep and not telling
him straight out that she was mar
ried woman and he mustn't; but
when l saw that she was trying to be
just as loyal to him as was, 1t pulled
me over to her side again.
Though the boss disappearance was
now four days old, things were still
in a sort of daze down at the rail-
road offices. Mr., Van Britt, being the
general superintendent and next in
command, had moved over into the
boss office, and Fred May was doing
his shorthand work. They wouldn't
let me do anything much--I couldn't
do much with my right arm in q
sling-so / had chance TO hang
around and size up the situation. If
You want to know how it sized up.
you can take 1t from me that 1t was
pretty bad. People all along the line
were bombarding Mr.. Van Britt with
letters and kilograms wanting to know
what was going to be done, and what
the change in management was go
ing to mean for the public, and all
that. You see, Mr.. Norcross had laid
out mighty attractive program in
the little time he had been at the
wheel, and now 1t looked as If 1t was
all going to be dumped into the ditch.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1921-05-13

$50 Hatch did make a threat thenF
Can you add anything more"
I could, but ! didn't want to. Mr..
Van Britt didn't know anything about
the Sand Greek siding hold-up, or 1
supposed he didn't, and / didn't want
to be the first one to tell him. Besides.
the whole business was beside the
mark. AIaisie Ann knew, and | knew,
that the boss, strong and unbreakabls
as he was In other ways, had simply
thrown up his hands and quit because
somebody had told him that Mrs.
Sheila had a husband living. SO /
just said:
Nothing that would help out and
after he had talked a little while
longer our only millionaire went down
stairs again.
It's so funny how things change
around for a person just by giving
them time to sort Of shake down into
place and at themselves together.
After a while the chin edge Of the
wedge that Mrs. Sheila had been try
