PRELUDE TO TRAGEDY
CHAPTER XXI
lBY MORRIS MARKEY

N1AfA4 II EN- <A<A4
Thus you have been witness,
good people one and all, to the ac-
eomplishment Of my LIES purpose.
You have seen the manner of it.
Perhaps you would care to hear the
method Of it. Perhaps, too, to I'M
derstand the reasons for its under
taking.
It follows, then, that you must
listen yet awhile:
And go to a day not long after
the ending Of the First World
War - to snug cabin in the soar
ing forests Of the Cascade Noun
tains in the State Of Washington.
It was q beautiful cabin, set be-
side a rushing river. And there
were five people living in it. One
of these was John Frye. Three
others were John Fryes wife, and
his growing boy, and his infant
daughter. She fifth and last was
Norman Tinker. John Frye and
Norman Tinker were equal part
ners in lustrous enterprise.
Norman Tinker was the man
whom you have met in my writ
ing, and seen die therein, under
the name of Wesley Hope Merri-
wether called Colonel.
John Frye and Norman Tinker
were different sorts of men, al
together. Their partnership had
come about in a manner which
was, at least to John Frye, sur
prising.
Frye had come back from the
wars in France to his wife and
his SON and his very new daugh-
ter, and he had brought with him
certain disabilities of the body
which would not be helped by the
resumption of his job in the ana
1ytical laboratories of Northern
smelling company. His doctors
told him to look out of doors for
health and a long life. People
told him - one man here and an
other there - that Norman Tinker
was the fellow for him to see.
Tinker was a college man like
himself, they said, but with a
crazy passion for prospecting in
new fields gold. silver, platinum,
anything. He had found some
success, here and there, too. At
least he was not working on a
Ehoestring. He was the very man
Tor John Frye to look up.
SO John Frye did look him up
and found him in Chicago; found
a keen-eyed, quiet-voiced man
somewhat older than himself. a
man who was cool, and distant. and
O little difficult to know. Their first
talk together was not greatly pro-
ductive. Norman Tinker said that
he had no new projects at the mo-
ment. He might, II he found one

lions with the greatest possible
discretion. Again, the reason does
not matter. And so make you
proposal:
"You and I will go to this coun-
try I speak Of, and explore its
possibilities. And you will be
written in for one-third Of any
thing we find"
Which was a generous thing to
do, indeed.
John Frye was immensely
pleased. He was not man OF
force and he had never been sea-
soned to many of the stern reali-
ties. Life had accommodated him
to philosophy of acquiescence,
and to light shock of surprise
when any fortune fell his way If
Norman Tinker had offered him a
decent weekly wage, he would
have been satisfied. How wonder
fu Ito become partner!
1t would not, perhaps, be exag-
geration to say that John Frye
was a weak man, Not morally, of
course, but temperamentally. He
was easily led by stronger men.
But, like all people who are called
weak, he had a perverse alloy Of
the thing which is known as stub
bornness. And now this stubborn
ness took fire in condition which
he offered to Norman Tinker.
He was overjoyed at the oppor-
tunity. But he would not think
of going OH the expedition unless
he could take his family with him.
This was not in Norman Tinker's
book. and he scoffed at the notion.
1t was absurd, and furthermore
it was dangerous he said. John
Frye said, in reply, that his wife
and children were absolutely
necessary to him after his year
in the wars.
So the strong man and the
stubborn man wrestled the mat
ter, and the strong man surren-
dered because he, also possessed
of stubborness though of a diff
ferent weave, was determined that
John Frye was his man.
I remember that cabin as if a
precisely detailed painting of 1t
were upon the wall before my eyes
at this moment. It was like para
disc. The Douglas frs that reached
their magnificent spires toward the
sky, the swift cold water, the beasts
that come down to stare at US, the
trout and the salmon that smelled
so fine against the smell Of coffee
in the evening.
And remember as wildly that
night John Frye came In, very
tired, with sack full Of new
samples. They were. he said.

bench which they had built In the
end Of the room, and got down
vessels and tools and bottled
chemicals, while at the other end
OF the same room Martha Frye
hummed TO her baby girl and the
kissing OF the frying pan was loud
In the air.
The next thing, two men were
staring az each other and saying.
Good Lord. man - that can't be

The new and curious Outcrop-
ping which John Frye had found
was q thing OF lnestimable worth,

rich indeed, and the excitement Of
that knowledge was a grave thing
to bear lightly.
Martha Frye joined eagerly in
their excitement, opening bot
tie of red wine which she had
saved against an illness and shar-
ing the toasts to fortune which
were lifted in loud voices. Even
the boy - which boy was I -
caught more than a touch of the
fever and grew red with avarice,
with the sudden, fabulous assur-
ance that here were white ponies
hitched to basket carts, and soda
pop beyond all dreaming. and
buckets of candy, and a tolerant
generosity toward the lesser men
of the school back home.
1t was a night of hurly-burly,
with the lad trying to understand
when these mysterious creatures,
the grown-ups, urged each other
to be calm urged that there
might yet be flaw in the great
discovery.
There was no flaw. The next
days exploration, and the next
days, fortified every hope.

New Baseball

The baseball which the major
leagues viii probably adopt for
the coming season promises 10
he definitely livelier than the
dead pellet which was in use in
the big time at the end of the
1912 campaign
Chief change in the proposed
official ball will be A center
composed Of a composition of Ba-
lata rubber and cork. with a
casing Of rubber composite. Pure
rubber for baseballs is out for
the duration.
In appearance the ball will be
the same as IL was in former
years. There will be no change
in the weight and circumference.
Special attention will be paid TO
the way the yarn is wrapped,
since this controls TO a percepti-
bic extent the springiness Of the
spheroid.
Dissatisfaction with the off
cial baseball was rather general
in the waning weeks of the past
title chase. The long g-distance
clout artists moaned audibly as
they watched blows that once
cleared the outer ramparts de-
scend into the outfielders' hands.

Angus Macdonald in discussion
of recent statements made in the
Quebec Legislature.
The Minister reiterated that navy
records show 20 ships sunk in the
ST Lawrence area last year. in
reply to Onesime Gagnon, who said
in the Legislature at Quebec that
more than 30 ships had gone down.
He added that if MI Gagnon

ships were sunk it was his duty
to give it to officials for investiga-

list OF names of ships and dates

My department cannot have this
information on ghost ships having

Minister.
Referring to other statements at
