with anger, horror, resentment; he
was almost-not quite-sure now of
all that had taken place; of why
Warden had been murdered, of what
vague shape had moved behind and
guided all that had happened since.
He recalled Eaton's voice as he had

this, Warden had been killed. Then
Warden's death had caused Santoine
to go to Seattle and take charge OF
many Of Warden's affairs; Eaton had
thought that the information which
had been In 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
toine the information Warden had had
and which Eaton now required had
been brought into Santoine's house
and put In Santoine's safe. 1t was
to get possession Of this something"
before 1t had reached SantoIne that
the safe had been forced.
Santoine put out his hand and
pressed bell. A servant came to
the door,
"Will you find Miss Santoine," the
blind man directed, "and ask her to
come herei"
The servant withdrew.
SantOine waited. Presently the door
again opened. and he heard his daugh-
ter's step.

from the safe, HarrietT' Santoine
asked.
"Not yet, Father"

CHAPTER XXI
The Man Hunt.

The rolling, ravine-gullied land
where Harriet had left Eaton was
wooded thickly with oaks naples and
ash; the glare from the burning
bridge lighted the ravlne 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 ravine; and when, realiz-
ing that he was leaving trace easily
followed even by lantern-lIght, 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 saplings tripped him, and he
stepped into unseen holes which
threw him headlong, SO 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 shoul.
der.
When he had made, as he thought,
fully three-Quarters OF mile and
must be, allowing for the winding Of
the ravine, at least half mile from
his pursuers, he climbed to the brink
Of the bank and looked back. He was
not, as he had thought, half mile
from the road; he was not quarter

however, appeared to have beer
checked for the moment; he heard
neither voices nor any movement In
the woods. Eaton, painting, threw
himself down to recover breath and
strength to think.
There was no question In Eaton's
mind what his fate would be II 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 could
prove his story that he felt that he
would receive no credence. Blatch-
ford, who had seen 1t In the light in
the study, was dead; Santoine, who
would have seen 1t If he had had eyes,
was blind. Eaton, still almost stunned
and yet wildly excited by that sight,
felt only, in the mad confusion of his
senses, the futility of telling what he
had seen unless he were In 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 'was. very small. even II
escape had been his only object; but
Eaton's problem was not one Of es-
cape-it was to find those he pur-
sued and make certain that they were
captured at the same time he was;
and, as he crouched painting on the
damp earth, he was thinking only Of
that.

founded him to realize that Warden's
murder and all that had followed 1t
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. It
had been nothing open. nothing pal
pable; 1t 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 Blatchford had seen
was someone well known to him,
whose presence had been so amazing
that speech had failed Blatchford for
the moment and he had feared the
effect Of the announcement on San
tome. This could have been only the
principal himself.
Some circumstance which Santolne
comprehended only imperfectly as yet
had forced this man to come out from
behind his agents and to act even ut
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 man 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 it7' the blind man
suddenly asked the nurse.
ut is nearly noon. Mr.. Santolne."
"Will you leave me alone for few
momentsT 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 market7" he inquired.
There was something approaching
to 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.

and as soon as possible q desperate
attempt had been made against him,
which, through mistake, had struck
down Santoine instead Of Eaton.
Eaton had taken the train at Sc
attic because Santoine was on 1t; he
had done this at great risk to him
self. The possibilities were that Ea-
ton had taken the train to inform San
toine of something or to learn some
thing from him. But Eaton had had
ample opportunity since to inform
Santoine of anything he wished; and
he had not only not Informed him of
anything, but had refused consistently
and determinedly to answer any Of
Santoine's questions. It was to learn
something from santoine, then, that
Eaton had taken the train.

candidates for offices from president
of the United States down to the most
unimportant OF state offices n 10
delegates and alternates to the ma
tional conventions are proposed and
nominated. But in order to be nom

are apportioned by each county pro-
posalmen casting votes amounting to
one-third OF the total vote cast in his
county for his party's candidate for
governor at the last state election.
The majority ticket thus selected Is
filed with the secretary OF state and
becomes the majority ticket OF the
party in the primary Of next March

men may file another ticket before
the third Tuesday in December. This
would become the minority ticket.
