charging. ne ro1ed over farther
away from the spot where he had last
fred and pulled an extra clip Of car
tridges from his pocket
The blood was flowing hot over his
face. He made no effort to staunch
1t or even to feel with his fingers to
find exactly where or how badly he
had been hit. He jerked the empty
cartridge clip from his pistol butt and
snapped in the other. He swept his
sleeve over his face to clear the blood
from his brows and eyes and stared
through the dark with pistol at arms
length loaded and ready. Blood
spurted over his face again; another
sweep of his sleeve cleared It; and
he moved his pistol-point back and
forth In the dark.
Surely now the sound of firing in
that room must have reached the man
in the room above; surely he must be
summoning his servants.
Eaton listened; there was still no
sound from the rest of the house. But
overhead now, he heard an almost i'm
perceptible pattering-the sound of a
barefooted man crossing the floor !;
and he knew that the blind man in
the bedroom above was getting up.
The Glenwood post., 1923-03-15
CHAPTER XVI
The Fight in the Study.

Eaton dismissed the man who. had
been waiting In his rooms for him; he
locked the door and carefully drew
down all the window shades Then he
put his overcoat, folded as he had
been carrying 1t under his arm, on
the writing table In the center of the
room, and from its folds and pockets
took "breast-drill" such as iron
workers use in drilling steel, an auto
matte pistol with three clips of car
tridges, an electric flashlight and a
little bottle Of nitroglycerin. He
loaded the pistol and put 1t in his
the other things.
He raised a shade and window, and
sat in the dark. The night was
cloudy and very dark. He gazed Mt
the south wing of the house; the win
dows of the first floor were closed and
the curtains drawn; but tonight there
was no light In the room. Then In the
dark he moved to the table where he
had left his overcoat, and distributed
in his pockets and within his clothing
the articles he had brought; and now
he felt again In the overcoat and
brought out short, strong bar OF
steel curved and flattened at one end
a Jimmy" for forcing the windows.
Eaton slipped off his shoes and went
to his room door; he opened the door
and found the hall dark and quiet.
He stepped out, closing his door care
fully behind him, and with great eau
tion he descended the stairs. He went
to window in the drawing room
which was set In recess and so
placed that 1t was not visible from
other windows In the house. He
opened this window and let himself
down upon the lawn. He gained the
south corner Of the wing, unobserved
or at least without sign that he had
been seen, and went on around 1t.

pulled the trigger, Eaton's pistol
flashed back. In front of him. the
flame flashed again, and another spurt
of fire spat at one side.
Eaton fired back at this-he was
PROSTATE on the floor now, and
whether he had been hit or not he
did not yet know, or whether the
blood flowing down his face was only
from n splinter sprayed from the table
behind which he had hid. He fred
again, holding his pistol far out to one
side to confuse the aim of the others /;
he thought that they too were doing
the same and allowed for It In his aim.
He pulled his trigger ninth time
he had not counted his shots, but he
knew he had had seven cartridges In
the magazine and one in the barrel
and the pistol clicked without dis

other shot. This was not fired by the
same one who had just fired; at least,
1t was not from the same part Of the
room; and instantly, from another
side, third shot came. Then, in the
midst of rush and confusion, another
shot roared; the light was out again;
then all was gone; the noise was out
side; the room was still except for
cough and choke as Blatchford-
somewhere on the floor in front of the
blind man-tried again to speak.
Basil Santoine, cropping with his
hands, found him. He was still con-
scious. Santoine knew that he was
trying his best to speak, to say just
one word-a name-to tell whom he
had seen and who had shot him; but
he could not.
Santoine put his hand over hand
Of his cousin. Blatchford's fingers
closed tightly on Santoine's; they did
not relax but now remained closed.
though without strength. The blind
man bowed and then lifted his head.
His friend was dead, and others were
rushing into the room-the butler one
of the chauffeurs, Avery, more men
servants; the light was on again. and
amid the tumult and alarms Of the
discoveries shown by the light, some
rushed to the windows to the south
In pursuit Of those who had escaped
from the room. Avery and one or
two others rushed up to Santoine;
now the blind man heard, above their
cries and alarms, the voice Of his
daughter. She was beside him, where
he knelt next the body of Blatchford,
and she put back others who crowded
about.
"Father! What has happened? Why
are you here? Oh, Father, Cousin
Wallace!"
"He is dead" Santoine said. 'They
shot him They We're three. at least.
One was not with the others. They
fired at each other, believe, after
one shot him" Santoine's hand was
still in Blatchfords. 81 heard them
below" He told shortly how he had
gone down, bow Blatchford had en-
tered and been shot.
The blind man. still kneeling, heard
I the ordering and organizing of others
for the pursuit; now women servants
from the other part of the house
were taking charge of affairs In the
room. There had been no signal
heard. Santone was told upon any
of the bells which he had tried to ring
| from his room. Eaton was the only
person from the house who was miss
ing.
"They came, Mt least some of them
came"-Santoine had risen, fighting
down his grief over his cousins death
for what was In your safe, Har-
riet."
II know; saw 1t Open"
"What is gomez" Santoine de-
manded.
He heard her picking up the con.
tents Of the safe from the floor and
carrying them to the table and ex-
amining them.
"Why-nearly all the formal papers
seem to be gone; lists and agreements
relating to dozen different things"
"None Of the correspondence"
mo; that all seems to be here"
Santoine was breathing quickly; the
trust for which he had been ready to
die-for which Blatchforti had died
seemed safe.
ITO bs eontinusd)
The Glenwood post., 1923-03-15

which he supposed; and the thieves
must have succeeded In their errand.
The blind man, in his uselessness for
pursuit, could delay calling others to
act for him no longer. He started
toward the bell, when some scrape on
the floor-not Of the sort to be &C
counted for by an object moved by
the wind-sounded behind him. San.
tome swung toward the sound and
stood listening again; and then, CROP
ing with his hands stretched out be-
fore him, he left the wall and stepped
toward the center Of the room He
took two steps-three, four-with no
result; then his foot trod into some
fluid, thick and sticky and not cold.
Santoine stopped and put a finger
tip into the fluid and brought 1t near
his nose. 1t was what he supposed 1t
must be-blood. He could hear now
someone breathing-more than one
person. From the house, still shut
off by its double, sound-proof doors,
he could hear nothing; but someone
outside the house was hurrying up to
the open window at the south end of
the room.
That one came to, or Just inside the
window. parting the curtains. He was
breathing hard from exertion or from
excitement.
"Who is it?- Santoine challenged
clearly.
"Basllw Blatchford's voice ex-
claimed his recognition in amazement.
Basil; that is you! What are you
doing down here?" Blatchford started
forward.
"What brought you hereT' Santoine
demanded instead of reply. you were
running outside; why? What was out
there? What did you see?'
"See? l didn't see anything-except
the window here open when I came
up. But I heard shots, Basil. What
has happened here?"
Santoine felt again the sickness at
his feet. 'Three or four persons
fought in this room, Wallace. Some
or one was hurt. There's blood on the
floor. There are two here l can hear
breathing; suppose they're hurt
Probably the rest are gone. Get help.
I think those who aren't hurt are
gone. They must be gone. But-get
help first, Wallace"
"And leave you here?" Blatchford
rejoined. He had not halted again;
the blind man heard his cousin still
moving along the wall. The electric
switch clicked. and Santoine knew
that the room was flooded with light
Santoine Strengthened, strained, turn
ing his head little better to listen.
With the flashing On Of the light. he
had heard the sharp, involuntary start
of Blatchford as he saw the room !;
and, besides that. Santoine heard
movement now elsewhere in the room
Then the blind man heard his friends
cry. Good GOd"
"What is itY' SantOipe cried.
Good Godl Basllv
"Who is 1t, Wallace?" the blind
man knew now that his friends inco-
herence came from recognition Of
someone, not alone from some sight
of horror.
Basil 1t is-it must bel know
him! 1t is"
A shot roared In front of Santolne
The blind man, starting back at the
shock of 1t, drew in the powder-gas
