out from the smoking room to help
them. He aided in taking the body
from the car and helped to carry 1t
into the living room and lay 1t on a
couch; he remained until it was cer-
tain that Warden had been killed and
nothing could be done. When this
had been established and further con-
firmed by the doctor who was called,
Kondo and Mrs. Warden looked
around for the young man-but he
was no longer there.
The news of the murder brought ex-
tras out upon the streets of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland at ten o'clock
that night. Seattle, stirred at once at
the murder Of one of its most promi-
nent citizens, stirred still further at
the new proof that Warden had been
power in business and finance; then,
as the second days dispatches from
the larger cities came in, it stirred a
third time at the realization-for so
men said-that this was the second
time such murder had happened.
Warden had been what was called
among men of business and finance
a member of the "Latron crowd"; he
had been close, at one time, to the
great western capitalist Matthew La
tron; the properties in which he had
made his wealth, and whose direction
and administration had brought him
the respect and attention of other men,
had been closely allied with or even
included among those known as the
"Latron properties; and Latron, five
years before, had been murdered. La
irons murderer had been a man who
called upon him by appointment, and
Warden's murderer it appeared, had
been equally known to him, or at least
equally recommended. OF this as
much was made as possible in the sug-
gestion that the same agency was be-
hind the two.
The statements Of Kondo and Cor
boy were verified; it was even
learned at what spot Warden's mur-
dererNhad left the motor unobserved
by Corboy. Beyond this, no trace was
found of him, and the disappearance
of the young man who had come to
Warden's house and waited there for
three quarters of an hour to see him
was also complete.

She stared at him with only pride
then; she was proud Of his strength,
of his ability to fight, of the power
she knew he possessed to force his
way against opposition. "Why, you
would fight them"
you want me to fight them?"
"Of course"
mo matter what it costs?"
She realized then that what he was
facing was very grave.
"Cora," he said, 81 didn't come to
ask your advice without putting this
sQuarely to you. If I go into this
fight, shall he not only an opponent
to some of my present friends; shall
be threat to them-something they
may think it necessary to remove"

might kill you?"
"Should that keep me from going
in?"
She hesitated. He went on: would
you have me afraid to do a thing that
ought to be done, Cora?'

All right, then. That's all had

he's downstairs. I'll tell you all /

He went directly downstairs as he
passed through the hall, the telephone
bell rang. Warden himself answered
it. Kondo overheard Warden's end of
the conversation. Apparently the
other person wished to see Warden at
once. Warden finished, "All right; I'll
come and get you. Wait for me there"
Then he hung up.
Turning to Kondo, he ordered his
car. kondo transmitted the order and
brought Warden's coat and cap; then
Kondo opened the house door for him
and the door of the limousine, which
had been brought under the porte
cochere. The chauffeur was Patrick
Corboy, a young Irishman who had
been in Warden's employ for more
than five years; his faithfulness to
Warden was never questioned. Cor
boy drove to the place Warden had
directed. AS they stopped, young

CHAPTER |
A Financier Dies.

Gabriel Warden-capitalist, railroad
director, owner of mines and timber
lands, at twenty cow-puncher, at
forty-eight one of the predominant
men of the Northwest coast-paced
with quick, uneven steps the great
wicker-furnished living room of his
home just above Seattle on Puget
sound. Twice within ten minutes he
had used the telephone In the hall to
receive the same reply-that the train
from Vancouver, for which he had in
quired, had come in and that the pas
sengers had left the station.
1t was not like Gabriel Warden to
show nervousness of any sort; Kondo,
the japanese doorman, who therefore
had found something strange in his
telephoning. watched him through the
portieres which shut off the living
room from the hail.
Warden turned suddenly and pressed
the bell to call a servant. Kondo
entered the room; he noticed then
that Warden's hand, which was still
holding the watch before him. was
shaking.
"a young man who may. or may
not, give name will ask for me in
a few moments. He will say he called
by appointment Take him at once
to my smoking room, and ! will see
him there. I am going to Mrs. War
den's room now"
He went up the stairs, Kondo no
.hn Lal trh
In his hand.
Warden controlled his nervousness
before entering his wife's room. She
talked with him casually for a mo-
tnent or SO before she even sent away
her maid. When they were alone, she
suddenly saw that he had come to her
to discuss some serious subject.
"Cora," he said, when he had closed
the door after the maid II want your
advice on business question"
"a business question" She was
greatly surprised. He was one Of
those men who believe all business
matters should be kept from their
wives.
IT mean It came to me through some
iness-discoveries."
"And you cannot decide 1t for your
selfY'
"I had decided It," He looked again
at his watch. II had quite decided
1t; but now 1t may lead to some
result which I have suddenly felt that
I haven't the right to decide entirely
for myself"
Warden's wife for the first time felt
alarmed.
"You mean It affects me directlyY'
He seized both her hands In his
and held her before him.
'"Corn," he said, "what would you
have me do II you knew l had found
out that a young mana man who
four or five years ago, had us much to
live for as any man might-had been
outraged In every right by men who
are my friendsf Would you have me

A rich but universally respected
western man is murdered in his
automobile. The crime Is accom-
plished with such stealth that even
the chauffeur is not aware of 1T
Some months previously am eastern
business associate, but not an inti-
mate Of the western man, had met
death in an equally mysterious
manner. There is absolutely no
clew to the murder and no apparent
motive for the second crime.
Basil Santoine, a blind lawyer,
with that remarkable inner percep-
ton frequently developed by the
sightless, while travelling. on an
eastbound train from Seattle in the
company of his daughter and his
confidential secretary, Is murder
ously assaulted in his berth. Some
features of this assault are more
mysterious than either of the other
crimes.
There Is no superdetective nor
scientific investigator to deduce in
fallible theories fastening the guilt
upon the right party or parties.
Police efforts are futile and sue
ceed only in fouling the trail, in
VOlVlnS innocent pRrtleS ana III
creaslng the complica ations. The
only tangible clews seem to point
to one Philip Eaton. a mysterious
young man. who was aboard the
train. There is also a suspicion
that he may have been connected
with the murder of the rich man
In Seattle.
Apparently against all dictates of
sense and safety, Eaton is made a
guest in the sumptuous home of
Santoine. Here the mystery deep
ems to an extraordinary degree and
the big queries arise: Who is Phil
ip Eaton: what is the past of this
strange man; what intuition or rea-
soning draws the blind man to him
in face of the danger of his pres
ence: in what way us Eaton con-
nected with the Sinister events
which afterward occur N the San
tome home; what explanation is
there for the growing interest of
Harriet Santoine in the man who
Is believed to have made an at
tempt upon her fathers life?
Here are mystery and romance
different from anything you ever
have encountered. The outcome of
events and solution of the mystery
are as unexpected as anything you
possibly can imagine.

man of less than medium height,
broad-shouldered, and wearing a
macintosh, came to the curb and
spoke to Warden. Corboy did not
hear, the name, but Warden immedi-
ately asked the man into the car: he
directed Corboy to return home. The
chauffeur did this, but was obliged on
the way to come t. complete stop
several times, as he met street-cars or
other vehicles on iutersecting streets.
Almost Immediately after Warden
had left the house, the doorbell rang
and kondo answered it. A young man
with quiet and pleasant bearing in
quired for Mr.. Warden and said he
came by appointment. Kondo ushered
him into the smoking room, where the
stranger waited. In about forty min
utes, Corboy drove the car under the
porte-cochere again and got down and
opened the door. There was no mo-
tion inside the limousine The chauf-
feur looked in and saw Mr.. Warden
lying back quietly against the cush-
ions in the back of the seat; he WIS
alone.
! Corboy noticed that the curtains all
about had been pulled down; he
touched the button and turned on the
light at the top of the car, and then

cap was Off. and the top Of his head

Snake Had Its Venoeance.

While travelling at 80 miles per hour
in Mildura, Australia, motor-cyclist
ran over a tiger-snake. Ten minutes
later his leg became itchy, and shortly
afterwards. feeling giddy, he started
back to the local hospital. he made
very wobbly passage and collapsed at
the hospital gates. He was bad for
week, and was told that If the reptile
had not struck him on the bone he
would never have reached the ward

of speaking to Eaton and so betray-
ing the presence on the train of
traveller whose journey his superiors
were trying to keep secret.
"You need of course, hold the train
no longer" Dorne said to Connery.
"Yes, sir; I received word from Mr..
Jarvis about you, Mr.. Dorne. I shall
follow his Instructions fully
AS he went forward again after the
train was under way, Connery tried
to recollect how it was that he had
been led into such u mistake, and de-
Tending himself, he laid it all to old
Sammy. But old Sammy was not
often mistaken in his identifications
If Eaton was not the person for whom
the train was held, might he be some
one else of Importance? Now as he
studied Eaton, he could not imagine
what had made him accept this pas
senger as person of great position.
1t was only when he passed Eaton a
third time, half an hour later, when
the train had long left Seattle, that
the half-shaped hazards and guesses
about the passenger suddenly sprang
into form. Allowing for a change of
clothes and different way Of brush
ing his hair, Eaton was exactly the
man whom Warden had expected at
his house and who had come there
and waited while Warden, away in his
car, was killed.
Connery was walking back through
the train, absent-minded In trying to
decide whether he could be at all sure
of this and trying to decide what he
should do If he felt sure, when Mr.
Dorne stopped him. Il
Conductor, do you happen to

man Is who took Section Three in the
car forward?"
Connery gasped; but the question
put to him the impossibility of his
being sure of any recognition from the
description. "He gave his name on
his ticket as Philip D. Eaton, SIR"
Connery replied.
SIS that all you know about .him?'
"Yes, sir"
eff you find out anything about him,
let me know" Dorne bade
Eyes, sir" Connery determined to
let nothing interfere with learning
more of Eaton; Dorne's request only
gave him added responsibility.
Dorne, however, was not depending
upon Connery alone for further infor-
nation. AS soon as the conductor
had gone, he turned back to his
daughter and Avery upon the seat op-
posite.

us he entered the next car on his way
back to the smoking compartment of
the observation car, where he expect
ed to compare sheets with the Pull
man conductor before taking up the
tickets. AS he entered this car, how
ever, Avery stopped him.
"Mr. Dorne would like to speak to
YOU" Avery said.
Connery stopped beside the section,
where the man with the spectacles sat
with his daughter. Dorne looked up
at him.

asked.
"Yes, SIR" Connery replied.

RET dy and too assured assumption
The Glenwood post., 1922-12-28
that the man for whom the train had

that the man for whom the train had
been held was now on board.
Connery went out to the train. The
passengers who had been parading the
platform had got aboard; the last five
to arrive also had disappeared into the
Pullmans, and their luggage had been
thrown into the baggage car Connery
jumped aboard.
The three who had passed the gate
first-the girl. the man with the
glasses and the young man in the cut
away-it had now become clear were
one party. They had had reservations
made, apparently, in the name OF
Dorne; the girls address to the spec
taeied man made plain that he was
her father; her name, apparently, was
Harriet; the young man In the cut
away coat was "Don" to her and
"Avery" to her father. His relation,
while intimate enough to permit him
to address the girl as Harry" was
unfailingly respectful to Mr.. Dorne;
and against them both Dorne won his
way; his daughter was to occupy the
drawing room; he and Avery were to
have sections in the open car.
'You have Sections One and Three,
sir" the Pullman conductor told him.
And Dorne directed the porter to put
, Avery's luggage in Section One, his
own in Section Three.
The Englishman was sent to Section
Four in Car Three-the next car for
ward-and departed at the heels of
the porter. Connery watched more
closely, as now it came the turn of the
young man whose ticket bore the
name of Eaton. Eaton had no reser-
walton in the sleepers; he appeared,
however, to have some preference as
to where he slept.
"Give me Three, If you have one,"
he requested of the Pullman conduc-
tor. His voice, C2nnery noted, was
well modulated, rather deep, distinct
ly pleasant. AT sound of 1t, Dorne,
who with his daughters help was set
Ting himself in his section, turned and
looked that way and said something
In n low tone to the girl Harriet
Dorne also looked, and with her eyes
on Eaton, Connery saw her reply in

"That1l do very well,' Eaton an
swered in the same pleasant voice.
AS the porter now took his bags.
Eaton followed him out of the car
Connery went after them into the next
car. He expected. rather, that Eaton
would at once identify himself to him
as the passenger to whom President
Jarvis short note had referred. Ea-
ton, however, paid no attention to him,
but was busy taking off his coat and
settling himself in his section as Con-
rery passed.
The conductor, willing that Eaton
should choose his own time for iden.
tifying himself, passed slowly on, look
ing over the passengers as he went.
He stood for few moments in con-
versation with the dining-car conduc.
tor; then he retraced his way through
the train. He again passed Eaton,
slowing so that the young man could
speak to him If he wished, and even
halting an instant to exchange a word

Girls Game Ends in Dispute.

The seventh inning of the girls
game Friday between Morris and
Glenwood found the two teams dead
locked in a dispute over how many
"men" were out. The scorers diff
fered in this respect so both teams
agreed to call the game a tie and play
it off insthe near future at Glenwood.
Both teams seemed to be able to
run bases with ease and dispatch, the
runs for each side totaling IS or 10,
varying with the scorers record.
There seemed also some irregu1arity
in the personnel of the visiting team
as it was said they had two girls
from Hoffman in their lineup.
Players for Morris lined up as fol-
lows: Mary French, pitcher; Clara
Lang, catcher; Julia LeSage, first
base. Gladys Richards, End base;
Myrtle Garberick, 3rd base; Julia
Anderson, shortstop; Alvera Hoenk,
left field; Theresa Sullivan, center
field; and Mary Sullivan, right field.
Gladys Richards made two base hit.
