was Theodore Charters, conduc- ted with the help of none cthel than Dr. Manoel Machado whosl acquaintance he had made a; Uncle's, while I was abroad
 Himself disguised, William had in Chicago, shadowed Charter: and Machado and also Charters former confederate, Spider Schlitz with whom Charters seemed tc have quarreled.
 The former pair, he had, as l have said, followed to England and while himself a patient" in i Charters's Nursing Home, had seen Spider Schlitz visit the house.
 Promptly William had slipped out i from the Nursing Home, gone to 1 the one and only railway station at the neighboring village, picked up Spider Schlitz, followed him on his return journey, and located a fine old country house in which he was living as a country gen. tleman. Having learned all tha. was necessary, he had returned as the penitent prodigal back from a drunken debauch, full of apolo- gies and promises of reform-if the good Dr. Charters would take him back once more.
 William wrote that both he and his wife felt sure that Charters, Machado and Gryde must have one or more confederates among their large staff, but had been un- able to identify any of them. On the whole, they rather suspected the chief Nursing Sister, but only on the strength of her somewhat florid appearance.
 In reply to cable in our own cipher, William sent me plan of the house and grounds, and de- tailed account of the daily rou- tine of the Nursing Home, and more particularly of Charters ha- bits and everything else which would possibly be of use to me for carrying out the scheme slowly developing in my mind.
 In pursuanc of this scheme, sailed for England as soon as had obtained passport; taking with me as much money as I was likely to require, and making ar arrangements. through the invaluable Uncle, for yet further supplies, should. they be necessary.
 Arrived in England, MT. John Wave, a grim-faced, gray-haired -shaven man who bore, per- haps, a slight resemblance to the long dead millionaire, John Dacre Wave Vanderleur St. Clair, visited the famous specialist, Sir Bernard Matthieson, who diagnosed pretty accurately a bad case of neuras- thenia- with complications in the man who had carefully refrained from food and sleep for three days, and had taken certain heart affecting and erve-shattering connections well-known to maling- ering convicts.

DEER, 0H DEAR!

LOS ANGELES, April 29.-"He used my car to hunt for deer" said Mrs. Gertrude Schuman. But what he bagged was more like dear remarked the angry woman. His hunting horn was never heard be- ycnd the crowded section. His weapon was a snappy word, like Bound in my direction?'
 NO antlers grace our fire place; the elks don't even greet him, and he would race for each deer face on which a smile was fleeting.'
 Judge Scott looked down with thoughtful frown upon the nim- rod Schuman. He said, T fear your type of deer was much, oh much too human"
 Your good wife's plea for this decree I'll grant with spirit will ing, because the deer you ven- tured near were eager for a kill ing" His words had force and spelled divorce and ended Schu- mans hunting"
 There was no plea for custody of any baby bunting.

his new patients suggestion that he should take a thorough rest cure in one of the best country Nursing Homes.
 MT. John Wave also did a l.tt.e business with a courteous and helpful bank manager and with q certain solicitor not unknown to crooked American ladies and gen. tlemen in London, who are also in trouble, or who anticipate that they shortly well be in trouble.
 All things methodically arranged Win careful and -blooded de- liberation, he set about the con- summation of his first act of ven | genance-the punishment of Spi- der Schlitz.
 [ I will not call it murder, for 1 this was, if ever, case of kill ing no murder'-an extermination of reptile vermin
 My plan, in outline, was to kill Spider Schlitz, and flee, instantly, direct to the sanctuary of Char ters' Nursing Home
 Here, without making myself known to him, I should be safe if were safe anywhere, for, with out knowing who I was, he should pretty promptly know that my discovery and arrest would pre- cede his by but a few hours.
 Of Williams H. William I had been the industrious apprentice, the indefatigable and not inapt pupil, and I do not think he would have been ashamed of my playing of my part at Witherby End while was studying the lie of the land and the habits of Squire Theoph- illus Webb-as Spider Schlitz was there known and admired.
 Nor do I think that any of the Best Burglars would have been genuinely scornful of my recon naissances of Squire Webb's man sion and grounds.
 What needed was to make my silent entry into the house and, unseen by any, make contact with that worthy. Let me but come face to face with him, unheard, and I would undertake that he tco would be unheard-that he would die without a word, a sound, my hands upon his throat. My strength is as the strength of
 ten
 Because my heart is pure"
 Fah! My strength should be as the strength of a hundred because my heart was a hell of seething hate and vengeance.

Chapter 38 SIMON'S NEW PATIENTS

A few weeks later, Williams n. William heard a rumor in the Underworld that the man known, among other names, as Doc Eng lish, Half hung Simon, and Limey Simon. had been illegally released from iail and had been seen at San Francisco in the company Of one of his accomplices, SD d e r Schlitz. whose one-year term of imprisonment had expired at about the same time.
 Hurrying round to Uncle's for further news-the matter to be mentioned most casually in the course of idlest conversation, of courze-wa learnt that the man Schlitz was staying openly at the Kearney House in San Francisco, while Simon was in hiding in Rio de Janeior. Gunman Gryde was reported to be still in New York, and Chink Dorson still in Columbia Jail. where he had four years yet to serve.
 After a council of war, we decided that we would once again separ- ate. William going to San Fran cisco. his wife to New York, while I to Rio de Janeiro.
 Should the gang assemble in one of these three places, we three would do the same, and lay our plans accordingly. /
 What I really wanted to do to them, and what really hoped for, did not know-beyond some kind of terrible punishment and re- yenge.
 What constantly visualized, and what constantly caused me to awake from sleep-with my hands cIutching and fleX d-was the thought of my hands upon the throat of each one of these suo- human devils in turn. Dorson l would some day kill with my bare was a packet of heavily sealed hands: from Simon, apparently their leader, I soon would choke the life; and, oh, slowly. slowly would I, with iron fingers, strangie the man Gryde, that Jimmy whose name my daughter nad shrieked in terror.
 ], In Rio de Janeiro l lived my miserable life-sick at heart ana in of body, drifting to breakdown and probably madness, for l could find no trace of the man simon, though I was able to learn hls history thoroughly.
 And then, again, l got renewed hope in a letter from Williams Ii. William, who was certain that he was on the trail and would write again-great news
 But before hearing from him aaain I-clever fellow-was myself off on a new deal and red-hot trail that led me right across the continent; thence to Seattle, ana finally across the Pacific to Shang- hai-there to run to earth, al last, the gang of white siavefs whom I had been pursuing, only tc find that they were not our gang at all.
 At the end of my tether, men tai. moral and physical, l crawieo back to Chicago.
