Belknap tossed the cigaret from

he spoke.

stepped into the moonlight on the

and faced him again. He was in the
shadow beneath the rose-bower; she
stood in the light outside of it-and
at that instant Bingham Harvard
from the veranda, where he had gone
to seek her, saw her; saw her and
thought nothing of it, then.

THIS STARTS THE STORY.

A weekend house party is be-
ing held at inquest, the country
home of Katherine and Bingham
Harvard. A card game is in
dulged in by a group of the men
guests, among whom are Tom
Clancy, Harry Archer, Danford
Damming, Horton Sears, and
Conrad Belknap. Belknap is dis
covered cheating at the cards by
Katherine. He has come to her
home as a newly-made friend of
the Archers. In the absence of
her husband Katherine tells Bal
kuap that he must leave her
home at once He laughs scorn-
fully at her demand and refuses
to do so. Katherine is about to
tell her husband, upon his arrival
from the city, but hesitates. Bel
knap seems to exert a peculiar
influence over her. which makes
her all the more determined to
ferret out his real identity, as she
is convinced of her deception. 1t
IS revealed that Katherine has
had a former experience as a po-
lice headquarters detective and
had been known as Lady Kate
Of the police. She intercepts a
telephone call of Belknap's and
learns that he is setting some
scheme afoot. Belknap, realiz-
ing that he is suspected by
Katherineb threatens to expose
a event in her past life.

she perfectly well knew that he would
do to Conrad Belknap upon the in
slant that he was made to understand
thoroughly the situation. 1t was Bing
HarvardS temper that she feared
the tremendous, the superhuman, the
awful strength and the uncomfortable
temper when once reused of the man
who had once borne the alias of "The
Nigt Wind"
She knew, just as we'll as she knew
that it was a d~esplcable scoundrel who
threatened her at the moment, that
Harvard, the instant he was made TO
understand the situation, would be-
come transformed into a silent and
implacable fury; that he would seek
Belknap in a rage which nothing could
stay or hinder, and that with his great
strength like unto hat Of Sampson
of old, he would seize the man with his
hands and rend him limb from limb.
In a word, Katherine knew that if
she should tell her husband that this
man had dared to threaten her, his
wife, Bing would kill him-kill hUl
with his hands-crush the life out Of
him.
We ask-you and why not?
Such a killing would be justifiablt
under the circumstances; the worlC
would be well rid of such a contempt
IDLE person; justice, when the facts
were known, would deal gently will

in was the rub-to say nothing Of thu

tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through n
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
It is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loOsens the bowels, thus breaking
up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from

everything to her husband, which she
knew to be impossible even while she
considered it; impossible because she
knew what he would do. She could
not tell Bingham about her brother,
now, at this late date, without dis
closing her reason for telling-with-
out d%enouncing Belknap; and if she
did that, the tempest would be let
loose, the long-stilled Night Wind
would be ~unleashed.
= That was the consequence that she
dreaded greatly, although almost as
terrible in its effect would be dis
covery by her father and mother that
Roderick's body did not rest in the
grave that was marked by his name,
at their Kentucky home. Years had
come and gone since that grave was
made; and now to exhume the living
from it-such a circumstance was not
to be thought Of.
During the day that followed-it
was Sunday-she avoided Belknap as
much as possible without the appear
ance of it. She did so manage that
she was never alone with him for an
mother came, and Bingham went with
her to the station to meet them.
1t happened just before bedtime
that Katherine, longing for a moment
of solitude, stepped through an open
window to the veranda and glided
noiselessly and swiftly down the side
steps and along a seclued pathwty
toward a rustic bench that was half
hidden beneath a bower of climbing
crimson-rambler.
She passed inside of it before she
discovered that the place was already
occupied; that Belknap, whom she
supposed had gone to his room, was
there, exactly as if he were awaiting
her. Yet. she knew differently, be-
cause he could not have known that
the rose bower was a favorite retreat
of hers.
He stood up and bowed, cody po-
lite; insclently sure of himself.

lucky. That was the hardest rub of
all, for this exposure that Conrad
Belknap threatened to make would
stab both of them to the heart, would
bow with whitening shame the tall
and stately form of that proud old
man, and would crush, even unto the
grave, the stately, yet delicately
sweet mother whom Katherine adored
with a devotion and love that was be-
yond words.
For the white, set features that
would be made to stare between the
bars of a prison window belonged to
Katherine Harvard's brother; her
brother-Roderick=the first-born of
her parents-their son whom they had
once so profoundly loved, who had
begun so bravely and so proudly, and
who had ended so miserably-their
only son, whom both believed to be
dead, and whose mistakes and fail
ures had been forgotten in the men,
cries of his childhood and promise.
The mere suggestion that either of
them should ever be made to know
that their son Roderick Maxwilton

death-a living one-behind prison
bars, was not to be considered, no
matter what sacrifice should be fixed
as the price of avoidance of such a
calamity.
Katherine knew as well as if Bel
alone knew that her brother was
alive. She had, up to the very in
slant Of BeIknap's uttered threat, had
no thought that another person in all
the world harbored any doubt Of Rod

cided as to whether our whole eco
nomic system shall be developed or
revolutionized; and the collateral is
sue as to whether American institu-
tons shall be maintained or wrecked.
Here is the real issue-the profund
and elemental issue-of the times.
The sound principle of government
regulation of nationwide business ac-
tivities, is that exploitation of the peo-
pie shall be prevented but during the
Wilson regime this sound principle of
governmental regulation was extended
to the point of governmental interior
ence with the most minute details of
transportation and trade, of produc-
ton and exchange.
Restrictive Laws
Working on the theory that most
business men are scoundrels at heart
with no idea of serving the public, but
intent only on robbing the public, the
Wilson regime enacted restrictive
laws, establishing meddling bureaus
and commissions and did everything
that anybody could think of to burden
business and hamper commerce.

and the thousands forms of economic
activity which constitute our industrial
civilization. 1t is this investment of
private capital that makes business

for itself a large part of that capital

eminent necessarily checks business.

should also be discontinued. "Ameri
can transportation must be freed from
the iron hand of artificial and arbitrary
governmental direction and placed
once more under the control of econ
omic law" said Mr.. Beverage.
The speaker concluded with brief
reference to foreign affairs and made
the declaration that, I'VE stand by the
traditional policy so long maintained
that it is now a vital element OF
American institutIons-the policy best
