B o e g ot a2 o R — MRS GGV oI JRRSR TR AT THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, VlAY 15, tfiltflPILED IEHUIL!LIE'II' SYNOPSIS: Nathan Hyde, antique dealer, finally admits that the famous Alex Peterson revolver, which he sold to John Peebles, was brought to him by Furie, descrt-rat, who visited Andrew Ogden a few hours be- fore Ogden was slzin. Hyde then reveals the startling fact that Ogdeén had demanded to know what he had done with the weapon. A coroncr’s jury charges the fugitive Jerry with killing his father. Henry Deacon, chief of police, makes an amazing dis- covery— another Peterson re- volver, gold-mounted and load- ed with gold bullets—in Ogden’s desk. Chapter 15 SHADOWS OF OGDEN'S PAST | I scarcely heard what MacNair tonished my moral sense, for all day the trend of evidence had been Charles G paid.

Mac- Nair (mulnucd ruthlessly, “that | Dillon blackmailed Ogden because |of something that happened when Ogden was Alex Peterson; that the man ‘Jerry’ was a close relation—a brother, perhaps—or close friend of Peterson’s (so close, in faci, that |Ogden called his own son after him); and that the poker chips and the deck of cards symbolize the indiscretion for which Ogden was blackmailed.” “Sounds reasonable,” Deacon ‘gro“lcd. | MacNair bowel ironically. “By |the way,” he resumed, “I wonder if | cither of you have forgotten the so-called legend of the ‘poker game that cracked the town'?” I jumped at this. “You mean that Most all residential fires Made of natural ashestos fireproof and everlasting. of semi-fireproof or fire-r: Do not confuse asbesto, have roofed for the last | troubles forever if you cover the roof with | . ’ Asbestos | You will time and can forget roof are roof fires.

I was merely dropping a seed into the ground made fertile by our recent dis- | coveries. I{ that poker game should {prove to be a fact it might have | had something to do with Ogden's | death.” “It isn’t a fact,” I said dogged- sn't so sure, for he ly. But I w had carried me along\ with the sweep of his logic. “What about those pieces of quartz?” I demand- s coming to them. One | specimen was in Ogden’s desk; fhc; other was in Hyde’s. I believe Furie | could tell us something about them. | At any rate they bring Hyde into the affair—this lawyer, Roy Ham: | mond too, perhaps. For all 1 know Hyde may be Dillon, but it | doesn’t follow because Dillon black= | mailed Ogden that he also killed {him. But to return to the quartz. | You told me something about this “Two Brothers mine of Ogden's. I| wonder why O;an called it the| Two Brothers.’” You said young Jer- | ry wanted to open the mine and | that Ogden refused to let him louchw it. Interesting situation, don't you | think?” | “You are trying to bulld their: difference of opinion into a mo- tive!” I charged. | MacKair grinned. “Don't fume ® so, Peebles. The cost of mining gold has gone down, but for this reason Ogden should have let his son open the mine unless he had a better reason for keeping it closed ‘bu_v the real reason.” Henry nodded. “It looks that way to me.” “Now, take these specimens of | gold-bearing ore,” MacNair went on. “Suppose they came from the |“Two Brothers'—perhaps from a new |vein Ogden didn't know of—" | “That won't do,” I objected. “The | mine is closed. Half the mountain- side slid down in front of it years ago.” “There may be an exposed vein somewhere. Let us assume Jerry found it. Naturally, he would want to exploit his discovery. His father refuses to let him touch it and gives no adequate reason for doing go. They become angry. Anger |turns to rage, and, well—there you are.” “Yes! I exploded. “Nowhere at all. In the first place, if these two specimens came from a new vein in the ‘Two Brothers, Hyde also, knows of that vein; in the second place, you yourself expressed the opinion that Furie was an old pros- |pector and that he knew something about specimens, too; in the third place, you haven't got rid of Dil- lon yet. I don't see why the greed motive shouldn’t be as strongly operative in one man as in anoth- er.” ! “Neither do 1,” he said, “but un- fortunately for your argument, which expresses my point of view so far as it goes, the other evidence implicates young Ogden and not Hyde or Furie. As for Dillon, I'll show you him dead or alive, before I am through. There’s Mrs. Lundy, tco. Ogden didn't give her $1,000 for nothing.” His arguments were sound, but| before I could reply Deacon spoke. ! “There’s sense in what he says, ! John. You might as well admit | it. I'm sorry, but I can’t get it out | of my head that the boy did it. Hei may have come to blows with An- drew abdut the mine.” | “He wouldn't have stabbed his| father in the back while he sat at| the telephone!” I retorted indig-/ nantly. “Get your hands on James | Dillon and you'll have Ogden’s mur- | derer, Henry. And don't forget| that Polyandria marked your man.” | (Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co.) | Where is Jerry? Can Lucy ‘\ and her uncle prove his inno- cence?
