this, Warden had been killed. Then
Warden's death had caused Santoine
TO go TO Seattle and take charge or
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 Santolne 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. 1t was
to get possession Of this something"
before it had reached Santoine that
the safe had been forced.
Santoine put out his hand and
pressed n bell. a servant came to
the door.
"Will you find Miss Santoine," the
blind man directed, "and ask her to
come here?"
The servant withdrew.
Santoine waited. Presently the door
again opened, and he heard his daugh-
ter's step.
Have you listed what YEAS taken
from the safe, Harriet?" Santoine
asked.

The blind man thought nm instant.
Harriet, something has been brought
into the hOuse-or the manner of
keeping something in the house has
been changed-within n very few days
since the time. l think, when the
attempt TO run Eaton down with the
motor car was made. What was that

His daughter reflected. "The draft
OF the new agreement about the La
tron properties and the lists Of stock
holders in the properties which came
through Mr.. Warden's Office she re-
piled.
"ThOse were In the safe?"
"Yes; you had not given me any in
structions about them, so | had put
them in the other safe; but when l

correspondence in my own SAFE"
Santoine lay still.
"Who besides Donald knew that you
did that, Daughter" he asked.
"No one"
THANK you"
Harriet recognized this rs dismissal
and went out. The blind man felt the
blood beating fiercely in his temples
and at his finger-tips. 1t amazed, as.

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 ravine for only a
little way Eaton had gained the bot.
tom Of the ravine beyond the point
whore this light would have made him
visible and had made the best speed
he could along it 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 q trace easily
followed even by la~ntern-light, he
clambered to the steep side and tried
to travel along it's 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 invisixp2,
fallen saplings tripped him, and he
stepped into unseen holes which
threw him headlong, so hat 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 Shout
der.
When he had made, as he thought,
fully three-Quarters Of a mile and
must be, allowing for the winding Of
the ravine, at least half q mile from
| his p%ursuers, he climbed to the brink
not, as he had thought, half a mile
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 flare
of these lights. He was certain that
he had recognized the figure Of Avery
among these men. Pursuit Of him,
however, appeared to have been
| 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 If he
surrendered to-, or was captured by,
his pursuers. What he had seen In
Santoine's study an hour before was
so unbelievable, 81 completely undo.
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 seer 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 a position
to prove it. 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; blu,
Eaton's problem was not n 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 it
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 Latrou's. 1t
had been nothing open. nothing pal
pable; it 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 we'll 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 Santoine
comprehended only imperfectly as ye.
had forced this man to come out from
behind his agents and to act even at
the risk Of revealing himself. 1t was
probably he who, finding B%latchford'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 81
which Santoine now felt sure was
that he was one Of the many con,
cerned in the Latron case or with the
Latron properties.
