spot of 1t on the floor"
81 found that" said Santoine.
"There are bullet marks every
where-above the mantel, all about"
"How was the safe opened?"
1.-THE combination has been cut com
pletely away; there is an-an instru-
ment connected with the electric
light fixture which seems to have done
the cutting. There is a hand-drill,
tool think it Is hand-drill. The
inner door has been drilled through,
and the catches drawn back"
"Who is this?"
The valet, who had been sent to Ea-
toms room, had returned with his re-
port. "Mr. Eaton went from his room
fully dressed, SIR" he said to San
toine, Except for his shoes. I found
all his shoes in his ROOM"
During the report the blind man felt
his daughters grasp on his arm be-
come tense and relax and tighten
again. Then. as though she realized
she was adding to his comprehension
of what she had already betrayed, she
suddenly took her hand from her fa-
ther's arm. Santoine let the servants,
Mt his daughters direction, help him
to his room. His daughter stood be
side him while the nurse washed the
blood-splotches from his hands and
feet. When the nurse had finished,
he still felt his daughters presence;
she drew nearer to him.
"Father?" she questioned.
"Yes."
You don't agree with Donald, do
you?-that Mr. Eaton went to the
study toto get something, and that
whoever has been following him found
him there and-and interrupted him
aud he killed Cousin Wallace?"
Santoine was silent an instant.
"That seems the correct explanation,
Harriet" he evaded. "It does not
fully EXPLAIN but it seems correct as
far as 1t goes. If Donald asks you
what my opinion is, tell him it is
that"
He felt his daughter shrink away
from him.
The blind man made no move to
draw her back to him; he lay perfectly
still; his head rested fiat upon the pill
lows; his hands were clasped tightly
together above the coverlet. He had
accused himself, in the room below
because, by the manner he had chosen
to treat Eaton, he had slain the man
he loved best and had forced a friend
ship with Eaton on his daughter
which, he saw, had gone further than
mere friendship; it had gone, he knew
now, even to the irretrievable between
man and woman-had brought her,
that is, to the state where, no matter
what Eaton was or did, she must suf-
fer with him But Santoine was not
accusing himself now; he was feeling
only the fulfillment Of that threat
against those who had trusted him
with their secrets, which he had felt
vaguely after the murder of Gabriel
Warden and, more plainly with the
events of each succeeding day, ever
since. For that threat, just now, had
eliminated in his presence in pur-
poseful, violent action but Santoine
in his blindness had been unable-and
was still unable-to tell what that
action meant.

again the body OF ner cousin wallace
lying in its blood on the floor, with her
father kneeling beside It, his blind
eyes raised in helplessness to the
light; but she saw now another body
oo-Eaton's-not here-lying some
where in the bare, wind-swept woods
shot down by those pursuing him.
She looked at the face of the clock
and then down to the pendulum to see
whether it had stopped; but the pen
dulum was swinging. The hands stood
at half past one O'Clock; now she re-
called that, in her first wild gaze about
the room when she rushed in with
the others, she had seen the hands
showing n minute or so short Of
twenty minutes past one. Not quite
a quarter of an hour had passed since
the alarm! The pursuit could not
have moved far away. She reopened
the window through which the pur-
suers had passed and stepped out onto
the dark lawn. A half mile down the
beach she heard shouts and shot !:
she saw dimly through the night in
that direction boat without lights
moving swiftly out upon the lake.
Her hands clenched and pressed
against her breast; she stood strain
ing at the sounds of the man-hunt. 1t
had turned west, 1t seemed; 1t was
coming back her way, but to the west
of the house. She crossed the lawn
toward the garage. A light suddenly
shone out there, and she went on.
The wide door at the car driveway
was pushed open, and someone was
within working over n car. His back
was toward her. and he was bent over
the engine, but, at the glance, she
knew him and recoiled, gasping. 1t
was Eaton. He turned at the same
instant and saw her.
"Oh; it's you'll" he cried to her.
Her heart, which almost had ceased
to beat, raced her pulses again. At
the sound she had made on the drive
way, he had turned to her as a hunted
thing, cornered, desperate, certain that
whoever came must be against him.
His cry to her had recognized her as
the only one who could come and not
be against him; it had hailed her with
relief as bringing him help. He could
not have cried out so at that instant
at sight of her If he had been guilty
of what they had accused. Now she
saw too, as he faced her, blood flow
ing over his face; blood soaked a
shoulder of his coat, and his left arm
dangling at his side; but now, as he
threw back his head and Strengthened
in his relief at finding 1t was she who
had surprised him, she saw in him
an exultation and excitement she had
never seen before-something which
her presence alone could not have
caused. Tonight, she sensed vaguely,
something had happened to him which
had changed his attitude toward her
and everything else.
"Yes; it's I!' she cried quickly and

She touched his shoulder. you're

He pushed her back with his right
hand and held her away from him.

"Hurt Father? No."
"But Mr.. Blatchford-"
"Dead," she answered duly.
"They killed him, them"
~Yes: they She iterated. He
was telling her now-unnecessarily-
that he had had nothing to do with It;
1t was the others who had done that.
He released her and wiped the blood
from his eyes with the heel of his
hand "The poor old man." he said.
"-the poor old mani"
She drew toward him In the realiza-
tion that he could find sympathy for
others even in such time as this.
"Where's the key for the battery
nnd magneto-the key you start the
car with?'
She ran to shelf and brought II
to him; he used 1t and pressed the
starting lever. The engine started
and he sprang to the seat His left
arm still hanging useless at his side,
he tried to throw in the gears with
his right hand; but the mechanism of
the car was strange to him. She
leaped up beside him.
"Move over" she commanded. "It's
this way!"
He slipped to the side and she took
the driving seat, threw in the gears
expertly, and the car shot from the
garage. She switched on the electric
headlights as they dashed down the
driveway and threw bright white
glare upon the roadway hundred
yards ahead to the gates. Beyond the
gates the public pike ran north and
south.
(which way?" she demanded Of him,
slowing the car.
"Stop!" he cried to her. "Stop and
get out! You mustn't do this"
you could not pass alone" she
said. "Fnther's men would close the
! gates upon you."
The Glenwood post., 1923-03-22

was NO doubt THAT this must be the
pursuit from Santoine's house. Eaton
stood beside Harriet, who had stayed
in the driving-seat of the car.
"I'm going Just beside the road
here" he said to her, quietly. I'm
armed, Of course. II those are your
people, you'd better go back with
them. I'm sure they are; but I'll walt
and see."
She caught his hand. mo; no" she
cried. "You must get as far away

backed and turned 1t and brought 1t
again onto the road. He came beside
her again, putting out his hand; she
seized 1t. Her hands for an instant
clung to 1t, his to hers.
"You must go-quick" she urged
"but how am to know what becomes
of you-where you are? Shall hear

there now-they went to the beach
before! They must have heard some
thing there! 1t was their being there
that turned him-the others back.
They tried for the lake and were
turned back and got away in a ma
chine; followed-back up here"
Harriet Santoine glanced at the face
of the man beside her. She could see
his features only vaguely; she could
see no expression; only the position
of his head. But now she knew that
she was not helping him to run away;
he was no longer hunted-at least he
was not only hunted; he was hunting
others too. AS the car rolled down
upon the open gates and he strained
forward in the seat beside her, she
knew that what he was feeling was
a wild eagerness in this pursuit.
Fright or left-quick she de-
manded Of him. "I'll take one or the
other"
Right" he shot out. "There are
their tracks!" He pointed for her.
"How do you know those are their
tracks?' she asked him.
'I told you, / followed them to
where they got their machine"
"Who are they?"
1.-THE men who shot Mr. Blatchford."
"Who are they?" she put to him
directly again.
He waited, and she knew that he
was not going to answer her directly.
Suddenly he caught her arm. The
road had forked, and he pointed to
the left; she swung the car that way,
again seeing as they made the turn,
the tiretracks they were following.
now again was descending; the head
lights showed bridge over q ravine.
"Slow! Stopl" her companion COM
manded
She raced the car on; he put his
hand on the wheel and with his foot
tried to push hers from the accelera-
tor; but she fought him; the car
swayed and all but ran away as they
approached the bridge. "Give it to
mel" she screamed to him and
wrenched the car about. 1t was upon
the bridge and across 1t; they they
skidded upon the mud of the road
again, they could hear the bridge
cracking behind.
Harriet" he pleaded with her.
She steered the car on, recklessly,
her heart humping with more than
the thrill of the chase. "They're the
men who tried to kill you, aren't
they?" she rejoined. The speed at
which they were going did not permit
her to look about; she had to keep
when she knew within herself and
was telling the man beside her that
she from that moment must be at one
with him. For already she had said
It; as she risked herself in the pur
suit, she thought of the men they were
after not chiefly as those who had
killed her cousin but as those who had
threatened Eaton.
"What do l care what happens te
me, if we catch them?' she cried
"Harriet!' he repeated her name
again.
"Philip"
She felt him shrink and change a!
she called the name. 1t had been cleal
to her, of course, that, since she hat
known him, the name he had beer
using was not his own. Often she hat
wondered what his name was; nov
she had to know. "What should cal

Wrangell Is To
 Have An Express
 Office Very Soon
Wrangell Commercial Club Asks for Establishment of Agency Here and Gets Quick Action Agency Appointment Goes to Walker & Russell.

An express office is to be estab- lished in Wrangell within two weeks as result of efforts of the Wrangell Commercial Club.
 On Monday of last week the Club sent a cablegram to the American Railway Express Company calling attention to the urgent need of hav- ing an express office located in Wrangell to take care of the towns growing business, especially in the shipment of furs. The cablegram also stated that Walker & Russell would be willing to accept appoint ment as local agents, and that they had the hearty endorsement of the Commercial Club for the appoint ment. Before the end of the week the Commercial Club received a ca blegram from the American Railway Express Company stating that they are agreeable to establishing an agency here and that they would send a representative to Wrangell in about two weeks to install an agency here.

JAM ES MATTATAL ROBBED

James Mattatal, blacksmith for the Wilson & Sylvester Mill com pany, had between three and four hundred dollars stolen from him this week. George Robertson, who came to Wrangell recently from Se- attle was suspected and taken into custody by U. s. Marshal H. D. Campbell. Robertson at first pro- tested that he was innocent, but when $60 was found sewed in his under wear he admitted having ta- ken that much, but insisted that he took no more.
 A corner which had gotten torn from one of the twenty dollar bills in Mattatal's possession had been overlooked by the thief. The cor ner was turned over to Marshal Campbell, and it proved to be a val uable bit of evidence. Louis Olsen had received from Robertson a twenty dollar bill with the corner torn of. Upon examination it was found that the corner in the mar shal's possession fitted perfectly in- to the torn out corner of the bill which MT. Olsen had received from Rober tson.
 U. $. Commissioner Wm. C.. Thomas is now away on trip to IndiaCapolis. Tuesday evening Mayor Grant cabled Judge Reed re- questing that he appoint George H. Barnej a special U. S. Commission CT. The Judge replied he was send ing appointment of MT. Barnes on the Spokane and that Lester O.. Gore, Assistant U. S. District. At torney would arrive on the Spokane also, and be on hand at the hearing.
