SYNOPSIS: Amazement and surprise are stamped on Tom Grenofen's face when he first sees Veronica's fugitive, whom Toms mother has named Cou- sin John Merryweather. But Cousin Johns ragged clothes, hair cropped close to his head, unshaven features, demands for utmost secrecy and his mysteri- ous black bag are not compara- ble to the shock Tom receives the following day. For the morning paper carries an as- tonishing headline: "D airing Escape of a Convict" and a description that leaves no doubt as to his guests identity. More disconcerting is the news that the convicts acc0mplices in- clude woman--on the very morning of Veronica's unex- plained absence from the home of a friend, whom she was visiting.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-30

When the long inquest was over and the jury had given the police a clear field to run in anybody they chose, MT Fotherbury took me aside into his study. I thought he was a shade more formal than usual
 MT. Grenofen, do you know my son?" he asked, looking at me cold ly.
 "Yes-and mo-" I replied, feeling some embarrassment. The truth is, MT. Fotherburg. hadn't met your son till last night, and then we had a-well, rather unfortu- nate introduction"
 I've heard about it. I am told the cause of it was a quarrel be- tween you over Miss Seabroke."
 Perhaps it might be so ex- pressed" I said
 "He is fool to quarrel with anybody over Miss Seabroke. I do not approve of any advances by him to Miss Seabroke. I'll be quite candid with you, MT. Grenofen. I have not word to say against the young lady. l am aware that she has no part in the scheme-whose author I need not mention-for making her the heiress of New

two sentences-a question and an answer:
 Most remarkable said Laxton, an you've no idea where he went?"
 T can't be sure, because I was Ia bit foxed," said the cub, but I'm pretty content he went off along the cliff path towards Hollam Bay"
 Perhaps it was not surprising that by the second day I had &C., quired certain distaste for Cou- sin John. I detest furitiveness of all sorts, and Cousin John made me furtiye. People learned through LaXton, I suppose-that We had relative staying with us, and remarked that they hadn't seen him. I lied glibly about the un- fortunate influenza that had kept him in bed.
 LaXton never saw me but he asked after my cousins health. This lasted three days.
 I saw Veronica only once during those three days She said that as had visitor staying at Wood cot, l must necessarily be much preoccupied, and said it with a cer- tain undertone. I did not seek out Veronica again.

place. So that you will not mis- understand me when I say that ] deeply regret and resent the vio- lence you used towards my son last night"
 The mere contentious words con- vey no real idea of the air with which the old gentleman made this pronouncement-it was Il 10 hin g less. I told him he could hardly expect me to describe the details of the encounter or admit I acted wrongly from my point of view; but I was quite willing to say how sorry I was that his own feelings had been injured.
 He answered with ineffable dig nity
 T put it all aside, MT. Grenofen But I am sure you will remember in future that MT. Fred Fotherbury is my son."
 We talked of other things, the tragedy or Pell, the notorlety It gave Newplace. Several times MT. Fotherbury seemed on the point of a personal question to me, but it never came to anything more than, T was going to ask-hut never mind"
 The second incident-or rather observation-o ccurred as I ap- preached the gate-house on my way out of Newplace. Three men walked slowly in front of me down the avenue, in close converse.
 Marling, the cub and Professor Laxton turned off by the church and went into Markings house be- fore I reached them and without seeing me.
 But not before I had overheard
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-30

But I saw far too much of Pro lessor Laxton. He haunted WooG cot on any and every preteXt. Or Wednesday he was there twice. Or Thursday he left us alone till sup per time and then suddenly ap- peared with an invitation for me to take an excursion with him on Friday to London.
 I politely declined his suggestion without giving any specific reason He seemed greatly disappointed.
 I found it hard to divine what Professor Laxton was, but perfect ly simple to divine he was not a professor of archaeology. Some day would discover his real profes- sion. The scene in the cloisters on that Sunday night and the sub sequcnt hobnobbing of Professor Laxton and Marling, when put to- gether, gave me an uncomfortable feeling that I had been fooled to the top of my bent.
 In the same three days, I saw d good deal, also, of Cousin John. In the quietude of the guest-room at Woodcot, he underwent rapid change. He lost some of his feroc- ity. He civilized his appetite. He softened his voice.
 When he had discarded the tramp outfit and put on some of my clothes, Cousin John was relative I need not have been ashamed to display to the whole village But he firmly refused to be displayed to anyone except my mother and me.
 He would not leave his room. He asked for books and read good deal He asked me to buy him a pipe. He smoked my tobacco. He was glad to talk to either of us, and would talk intelligently about everything but himself, On his own identity, on his past, on his in- tentions for the future, he was as dumb as turnip.
 The only spark of light I struck out of him by accident came when he let slip the fact that he knew Blackwater and the district very we'll. Having seen that I chewed

this over, he tried hard to confuse my impression by displays of will ful ignorance.
 He asked for the newspaper each morning and studied it thoroughly. If he read about himself, he made no allusion to it.
 It seemed on the third day as though Cousin John had been liv- ing with us a century and was like ly to be there for a millennium.
 But the total duration of his visit was only three days and bit It had begun sensationally; it end- ed in a burst of excitement far more intense.

The P. S. company and its kept
officials were able to mobilize only
the votes of the most 'eactionary

vote was faxed. 1t is clear that the

claring the vote for the old agree
