they took her from the room and left
him alone again But there WAS
something left with him which they
could not take away; for I'm the
moment he had stood alone with her
and passionately pleading. something
had passed between them-he could
give no name to 1t, but he knew that
Harriet Santoine never could think
Of him again without stirring Of her
pulses which drew her toward him.
The following morning the relieving
snowplows arrived from the East, and
Eaton felt 1t was the beginning of
the end for him. He watched from his
window men struggling in the snow
about the forward end of the train;
then the train moved forward past
the shoveled and trampled snow where
rock and pieces of the snowplow were
piled beside the track-stopped,
waited; finally 1t went on again and
began to take up Its steady progress.
The attack upon Santoine having
taken place in Montana. Eaton thought
that he would be turned over to the
police somewhere within that state,
and he expected 1t would be done at
the first stop; but when the train
slowed at Simons, he saw the town
was nothing more than little hamlet
beside side-track. They surely
could not deliver him to the village
authorities here.
1t made no material difference to
him. Eaton realized. whether the po-
lice took him In Montana or Chi
cago, since in either case recogni-
ton of him would be certain In the
end; but in Chicago this recognition
must be immediate. complete, and ut
terly convincing.
The train was travelling steadily and
faster than Its regular schedule; 1t
evidently was running us special,
some other train taking the ordinary
traffic; 1t halted now only at the
largest cities. In the morning 1t
crossed into Minnesota; and In the
late afternoon, slowing, It rolled into
some large city which Eaton knew
must be Minneapolis or st. Paul. The
car here was uncoIpled from the train
and picked up by switch engine; as
dusk fell, Eaton, peering out of his
window. could see that they had been
left lying in the railroad yards; and
about midnight awakening in his
berth, he realised that the car was
still motionless. He could account
for this stoppage In their progress
only by some change in the condition
Of Santoine. Was Santoine sinking,
so that they no longer dared to travel?
Was he, perhaps-dead?
No sounds came to him from the
car to confirm Eaton in any con-
cluslOn; there was nothing to be
learned from anyone outside the car.
Eaton lay for long time, listening
for other sounds and wondering what
was occuring-or had occurred-at
the other end Of his car. Toward
morning he fell asleep.

Eaton had sensed already what the
nature Of the message must be,
though as the conductor held 1t out
to him he could read only his name
at the top Of the sheet and did not
know yet what the actual wording
was below. Acceptance of 1t must
mean arrest, indictment for the
crime against Basil Santoine; and
that, whether or not he later was ac-
quilted. must destroy him; but denial
of the message now would be hope
less.
"It is yours, isn't itr connery
urged.
Yes; It's mine" Eaton admitted ;
and to make his acceptance definite,
he took the paper from Connery. AS
he looked DULY down at it. he read !:
''He is on your train under the
name of Dorne."
The message was not signed.
Connery touched him on the shoul-
der. Come with me, Mr.. Eaton"
Eaton got up slowly and mechan-
ically and followed the conductor. At
the door he halted and looked back !;
Harriet Santoine was not looking
her face was covered with her hands !;
Eaton hesitated; then he went on.
Connery threw open the door of the
compartment next to the washroom
and corresponding to the drawing
room at the other end Of the car, but
smaller.
You'll do well enough In here"
He closed the door upon Eaton and
locked 1t. As Eaton stood staring at
the floor, he could hear through the
metal partition of the washroom the
nervous. almost hysterical weeping of
an overstrained girl The thing was
done; In SO far as the authorities on
the train were concerned, 1t was
known that he was the man who had
had the appointment with Gabriel
Warden and had disappeared; and in
so far as the train officials could act,
he was accused and confined for the
attack upon Basil Santoine But be-
sides being overwhelmed with the hor-
ror of this position, the manner in
which he had been accused had
reused him to helpless anger. to rage
his accusers which still increased
as he heard the sounds on the other
side Of the partition, where Avery was
now trying to silence Harriet San
tofne and lead her away.

to you," Connery announced; and he
admitted Harriet Santoine and Avery,
and himself remaining outside in the
aisle, closed the door upon them.
''How Is your fathery Eaton asked
the girl.
He seems just the same; at least,
I can't see any change, Mr.. Eaton"
"Can Doctor Sinclair see any differ
ence?" Eaton asked.
Doctor Sinclair will not commit
himself except to say that so far as
he can tell. the indications are favor
able. He seems to think" The girl
choked; but when she went on, her
blue eyes were very bright and her
lips did not tremble. Doctor Sinclair
seems to think. Mr.. Eaton, that Fa-
ther was found just in time, and that
whatever chance he has FOR recovery

had Insomnia and wouldn't get to
sleep till late in the morning; so l.

chance at all for life'

CHAPTER X
Publicity NOT Wanted.


Basil Santoine dying! Blind mil
lionaire lawyer taken Ill on train!"
The alarm f the cry came to
answer Eaton's question early the next
morning He threw up the curtain
and saw vagrant newsboy, evidently
passing through the railroad yards
to sell to the trainmen. Eaton, hall

fore him and read that Santoine's con-
dition was very low and becoming
rapidly worse. But below, under a
Montana date-line, Eaton saw 1t pro-
claimed that the blind millionaire was
merely sick; there was Ito suggestion
anywhere Of an attack. The paper
stated only that Basil Santoine, re-
turning from Seattle with his daugh-
ter and his secretary, Donald Avery.
had been taken seriously Ill upon a
train which had been stalled for two
days in the snow In Montana. The
column ended with the statement that
Mr.. Santoine had passed through
Minneapolis and gone on to Chicago
under cure Of DR.. Douglas Sinclair.
Eaton stared at the newspaper with
out reading, after he saw that. He
had not realized, until now that he
was told that Harriet Santoine had
gone-for II her father had gone on,
OF course she was with hIm-the ex-
tent to which he had felt her fair
ness, almost her friendship to him. At
laO G ha hut eIv,o ch l. a
spoken to him after he was first ac-
cused Of the attack on her father,
he had not felt entirely deserted or
friendless till now.
But why, II Santoine had been
taken away, or was dead or dying,
had they left Eaton all night In the
car In the yards? Since SantoIne was
dying, would there be any longer an
object in conceallng the fact that he
had been murdered?
He dressed and then paced back
and forth the two or three steps his
compartment allowed him. He
stopped now and then to listen from
outside came the noises of the yard
but he made out no sound within the

the days previous, he must have heard
some one coming to the washroom ut
his end. Was he alone In the car
now, or had the customary moving
about taken place before he awoke?
Finally, to free himself from his
nervous listening for sounds which
never came. he picked up the paper
again. He read:
"The news of Mr.. Santoine's visit
of week on the Coast, II not known
already in great financial circles, is
likely to prove interesting there. For
years he has been the chief agent
in keeping peace among some of the
great conflicting interests, and more
than once he has advised the declar-
ing of financial war when war seemed
to him the correct solution. Thus,

to the Pacific coast was not purely

to adjust antagonisms such as charged
by Gabriel Warden before his death,

precipitate troubles which, living, his

been able to prevent"

'Mr. Santoine wants to speak to

This startling negation OF all lie

started up, then sank back for bet-

"Mr. Santoine is here, then?"
"Here? OF course he's here2"
"And he's conscious2"

she had not been completely con-

Harriet arose, and Eaton got up as
she did and stood as she went toward
the door.
Avery had reached the door, hold
ing 1t open for her to 90 out. Sudden
ly Eaton tore the handle from Avery's
grasp, slammed the door shut upon
him and braced his foot against it.

voice hoarse with his emotion. "for

him growing in her eyes; but II she

her father lay. She was watching
the face Of her father, and as Eaton
stood In the door, he saw her lean
forward and gently touch her fathers
hand; then she turned and saw Eaton.
Here is Mr.. Eaton, Father" she
said.
"Sit down. Santolne directed.
The blind man was very weak and

he had fully his sense Of hearing.
Harriets lips trembled as she
turned to Eaton; but she did not
speak directly to him yet; 1t was
Basil Santoine who suddenly inquired !:
"What is it they call you?"
'My name is Philip d. Eaton"
Eaton realized as soon as he had
spoken that both question and answer
had been unnecessary, and Santoine
had asked only to hear Eaton's voice.
The blind man was silent for a
moment, as he seemed to consider
the voice and try again vainly to
place 1t in his memories. Then he
spoke to his daughter.
