this. Warden had been killed. Then
Warden's death had caused Santoine
TO 90 10 Seattle and take charge o,
many OF Warden's affairs; Eaton had
thought that the information which
had been Ia Warden's possession
might now be In Santoine's; Eaton
therefore. had followed Santoine onto
the train.
The inference was plain that some
thing which would have given San
tome the information Warden had had
and which Eaton now required had
been brought into Santoine's house
and put in Santoine's safe. II was
to get possession OF this something
before II had reached Santoine that

The servant withdrew.
Santoine waited. Presently the door
again opened, and he heard his daugh-
ter's step.
"Have you listed what was taken
from the safe. HarrietY' Santoine
asked.
"Not yet, Father"
The blind man thought an instant

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotteng The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who rave been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmeris Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 30 large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who rave
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Roob is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it ful6lls al
most every wish In overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid

founded him to realize that Warden's
murder and all that had followed II
had sprung from the Latron case. He
recollected that he had been vaguely
conscious ever since Latron's murder
of something strained, something not
wholly open, In his relations with
those men whose interests had been
most closely allied with Latron's. 1t
had been nothing open, nothing pal
pable: II was only that he had felt
at times in them a knowledge Of
some general condition governing
them which was not wholly known TO
himself. Whoever B%latchford had seen
was someone well known to him.
whose presence had been so amazing
that speech had failed Blatchford for
effect of the announcement on San
tome. This could have been only the
principal himself.
Some circumstance which Santolne
comprehended only imperfectly as We.
had forced this man Il come out from
behind his agents and to act even at
the risk Of revealing himself. 1t was
probably he who, finding Blatchford's
presence made revealment inevitable,
had killed Blatchford. But these cir
cumstances gave Santoine no clew as
to who the a might be. The blind
man tried vainly to guess. The only
circumstance regarding the man of
which Santoine now felt sure was
that he was one OF the many con-
cerned In the Latron case or with the
Latron properties
"What time Is 1T" the blind man
suddenly asked the nurse.
"It Is nearly noon. Mr.. Santoine."
'Wfll you leave me alone for a few
moments7 7" he directed.
He listened till he heard the door
close behind the nurse: then he seized
the private phone beside his bed and
called his broker.
How is the marketY" he inquired.
There was something approaching
to a panic on the stock exchange. 1t
appeared. Some movement, arising
from causes not yet clear, had dropped
the bottom out OF a score of important
stocks.

CHAPTER XXI
The Man Hunt.

The rolling, ravine-gullied Land
where Harriet had left Eaton was
wooded thlckly with oaks. naples and
ash; the glare from the burning
bridge lighted the ravine for only a
little way Eaton had gained the bot
tom Of the ravine beyond the point
where this light would have made him
visible and had made the best speed
he could along 1t away from the lights
and voices on the road. This speed
was not very great; his stockinged
feet sank to their ankles In the soft
mud of the ravlne; and when, realiz-
ing that he was leaving a trace easily
followed even by lanternlight, he
clambered to the steep side and tried
to travel along its slope, he found his
progress slower still. In the dark
ness he crashed sometimes full against
the tree-trunks; bushes which he could
not see seized and held him, ripping
and tearing at his clothes invisible,
fallen sapllngs tripped him, and he
stepped into unseen holes which
threw him %headlong, Sc that twice he
rolled clear to the bottom of the
ravine with fierce, hot pains which
nearly deprived him Of his senses
shooting through his wounded shouis
der.
When he had made, as he thought
fully th~ree-quarters Of a mile and
must be, allowing for the winding of
the ravine, at least half a mile from
his pursuers, he climbed to the brink
of the bank and looked back. He was
not, as he had thought, half a mills
from the road; he was not a quarter
of a mile; he could still see plainly
the lights of the three motorcars upon
the road and men moving In the fare
of these lights. He was certain that
he had recognized the figure of Avery
among these men. Pursuit of him
however, appeared to have beer
checked for the moment; he hearc
neither voices nor any movement IL
the woods. Eaton, painting. threw
himself down to recover breath and
strength to think.
There was no question In Eaton's
llllu NHdt IlS Aakc NOoiu bc he
surrendered to, or was captured by
his pursuers. What he had seen In
Santoine's study an hour before was
so unbelievable. SO completely unde
monstrable unless he himself coulc
prove his story that he felt that he
would receive no credence. Blatch-
ford. who had seen IL In the light In
the study, was dead; Santoine, who
would have seen 1t II he had had eyes
was blind. Eaton, still almost stunned
and yet wildly excited by that sight,
only, in the mad confusion of his
senses, the futilIty of telling what he
had seer unless he were In a position
TO prove 1t. Those opposed to him
would put his statement aside with
the mere answer that he was lying;
the most charitably inclined would
think only that what he had been
through had driven him insane.
Eaton understood that his POSSIBLE
ity OF escape vas very small, even II
escape had been his only object; but
Eaton's problem was not one of -
cape-it was to find those he pur
sued and make certain that they wers
captured at the same time he was;
and. as he crouched painting on the
damp earth, he was thinking only q
that.
