thea. He aided in taking the body
from the car and helped to carry it
into the living room and lay it on a
couch; he remained until it was GER
tain that Warden had been Killed and
nothing could be done. When this
had been established and further con-
f1rmed 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 ut
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
member of the 'Latron crowd; he
had been close, at one time, to the
great western capitalist Matthew La
iron; 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
Wardens murderer, 1t 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 MUIR
derer had 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
Wardens house and waited there for
three quarters of an hour to see him
was also complete.

CHAPTER I
A Einancier 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
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 hall.
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 a name, will ask for me in
few moments. He will say he called
by appointment. Take him at once
to my smoking room, and l will see
him there. am going TO Mrs. War
denis room now"
He went up the stairs. Kondo no
ticed. still absently holding his watch
in his hand.
Warden controlled his nervousness
before entering his wife's room. She
talked with him casually for a mo-
ment 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, 81 want your

men in eastern finance who had been
brought west by Warden's death. AS
the car disappeared, Connery gazed
off to the sound.
The March morning was windy and
wet, with a storm blowing in from the
Pacific. From Eliot bay reverberated,
the roar of the Steam-whiStle of some
large ship signaling its intention to
pass another to the left. The incom-
ing vessel doomed in sight and showed
the graceful lines. the single funnel
and the white and red-barred flag OF
the Japanese line, the Nippon Yusen
kaisha. Connery saw that it was, as
he anticipated, the Tamba Maru, due

by bad weather over the Pacific. 1t

in time to permit passenger to catch

or kidnapped person for whom a great
reward would be given. His position

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 it.
Some months previously an eastern
business associate, but not an init
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, blind lawyer,
with that remarkable inner percep
ton frequently developed by the
sightless, while travelling on an
esstbound 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
coed only in fouling the trail, in
volving innocent parties and in
creasing the complications. 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 is Eaton con-
nected with the sinister events
which afterward occur in 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.
