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
he saw that Warden was dead; his
cap was of, and the top Of his head
had been smashed by heavy blow.
The chauffeur drew back. gasping;
Kondo, behind him on the steps, cried
out and ran Into the house calling for
help. Two other servants and Mrs.
Warden, who had remained nervously
in her room, ran down. The stranger
who had been waiting, now seen for
the first time by Mrs. Warden. came
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
couch; he remained until 1t was GER
tain that Warden had been killed and
nothing could be done. When this
had been established and further con-
frmed 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, 1t 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
tron's 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; 1t was even
learned at what spot Warden's mur-
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
Warden's house and waited there for
three quarters Of an hour to see him
was also complete.

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 to a complete stop
several times, as he met street-cars or
other vehicles on intersecting 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

"All right, then. That's all had

He went directly downstairs; as he
passed through the hall, the telephone
bell rang. Warden himself answered
1t. 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. Walt 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, young Irishman who had
been in Warden's employ for more
than five years; his faithfulness to
Warden was never questioned. Cor

CHAPTER l
A Flnaneler Dies.

~ 0uV&ItStSl 0tVos
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 of the living
room from the hall.
Warden turned suddenly and pressed
the bell to call 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
q few moments. He will say he called
by appointment. Take him at once
to my smoking room, and will see
him there. am going to Mrs. War
den's room now"
He went up the stairs, Kondo no
decd, still absently holding his watch
In his hand.
Warden controlled his nervousness
before entering his wife's room. She
talked with him casually for . 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, II want your
advice on 4 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.
II mean 1t came to me through some
business-discoveries
"And you cannot decide 1t for your

81 had decided It." He looked again
at his watch. II had quite decided
IT.; but now It may lead to some
result which have suddenly felt that
I haven't the right to decide entirely
for myself"
Warden's wife for the first time felt
alarmed. ID.
"You mean 1t affects me directly?"
He seized both her hands in his
and held her before him.
Cora" he said, "what would you
have me do II you knew had found
out that 4 young mana man who,
four or five years ago, had as much to
live for as any man might-had been
outraged in every right by men who
are my friends2 Would you have me
fight the outfit for him? Or would
you have me-lie down."
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 themw
"You want me to fight themr'

She realized then that what he was
facing was very grave.

A common grain ration for the ma.
ture bull after complete growth is:
Three parts cornmesl.
Three parts ground oats.
Three parts wheat bran.
One part linseed meal.
Along with this ration should be
fed leguminous roughage and some
corn fodder or stover. To keep the
bull in excellent condition, but not
fat, exercise is factor that must not
be forgotten. II the bull cannot have
access to yard at all times, he should
at least be tied outdoors each day
and allowed to go back and forth by
a cable.
