But the alternative open when the stranger demands an alibi for the murder of “Spider” Schlitz is the exposure of the past crimes of the apparently recpectable docter. Charters, wondering if Waye knows he stele from Schlitz and Chink Porson their shares of the St. Clair diamond loot, plans to have him adjudged insane. Waye tells Dr. MacAdoo, Char- ters' associate, to demand a half ghare of the “Lauderdell 10,- 000 pounds;” apparently refer- ring to a patient, pretty Mar- jerie Latiderdell, whose aunt, Mrs. Lauderdell, was the “evil genius” of Charters’ earlier life. After a talk with the appar- ently honest Dr. Studley, Waye overccmes Mr. James, ally of Charters, when, stung by Wayc's allusions to his past, he draws a pictol. Dr. Charters ruches up and calls Waye a | madman. H Chapter 11 | “'FRISCO FANNY’ Ex-squadron Sergeant-Major| Willlam Levitt, late of the Queen’s Bays and present gatekeeper to Dr. Charters, wheeled Sister Wel- don’s bicycle out from the gate- house and produced his keys. “Thank you, Sergeant” smiled! Sister Weldon, as she set forth onl her seven-mile ride to Herepath, of | which village, her brother, the Rev- | erend Laurence Weldon, was Vicar. At the sound of the opening of | ‘ his parden-gate, the Reverend Lau- refice Weldon, with a beaming smile of welcome, rose up from his chair under the huge chestnut tree that shaded the Vicarage lawn. “Dear old Angela!” he thought to himself as he advanced to meet| his “sister. | The enduring love that existed between this brother and sister was based upon sympathetic under- standing, each knowing the well- concealed philanthropy and prac- tical goodness of the other. He, of how his sister devoted her .income| to helping the poor, and her abili- ties to nursing the sick. She, of! how he devoted his life to the lit- eral cure of souls. “Well, Angela! How nice of you to devote you ‘afternoon off' to visiting your brother, instead of to ‘walking out’ with Dr. Studley or with some other nice young man. Or are there no other nice young men, just now, at The Monastery?” “Oh, a lovely one, my dear” laughed his sister, kissing him warmly. “Let me take your bicycle, and you come and sit down. We'll have | tea out here. “And who's the lovely young man?” asked Laurence Weldon. “He came while I was away for my holiday. Apparently Dr. Char- ters thought he could do something for him, but it's hopeless. And.the annoying part is that Sir Bernard Matthieson doesn't agree and won't certity him. And Dr. Studley sup- ports Sir Bernard. “For when Sir Bernard came, our lunatic was as sane as you are,and it, appears that when he visited Sir Bernard in Harley Etreet he only complained of being generally neu- rotic. Dr. Charters can't' very well call in any other doctor, immedi- ately, in order to get the man' cer- tified. . ., Not just after Sif Ber- nard has declared him perfectly sane, and Dr. Studley has Support- ed him. 2 g Charters, especially when he only took him in from motives of the He’s dangerous.” “Oh! That's bad in a place like Phe Monastery. Didn't they tell Sir Bernard?” . “Yes. It was rather peculiar. Dr. Charters sent for me, and there were Sir Bernard and Dr. Studley Dr. MacAdoo talking to this Mr. Waye, the lunatic, and you'd haye thought he was absolutely as sane as they were. And by the time the consultation was over, 1 myself felt there was nothing for it but to declare he was sane enough then—whatever he had been before.” . “How had he shown his madness before?” “How hadn’t he shown it?

The Vicar laughed. “Yes, I laughed too,” continued “Fancy me as “'Frisco Fanny' “Ah, that's your too golden halr, my dear,” smiled the Vicar, “and your lovely coloring.

And you don't know whoj Dr. MacAdoo is?’ “I assured him that I ddn't:... But he didn’t believe me.” “How did it end? Has he still these delusions about you?” “Oh, while he was referring to all sorts of weird people and places, that nice child Marjorie Lauderdell came up and asked if I couldn't bring her over to talk to you. I somehow don't think she likes me very much, Laurence, but either you made a very favorable impression when you came over and I introduced you, or else it was an excuse to get out of The Mon- astery.” “I don't see why shouldn't let her come. . good. . . . “He wouldn't hear of it, I'm sure Strict rule of the house. . . . Well— directly my lunatic heard that T not only had a brother in the neighborhood, but that he was ac- tdally Vicar of the parish where we's lived all our lives, he accept- ed my statement that I was not "Frisco Fanny, apoligized humbly and said he could not blame him- self too severely for not realizing the moment he first set eyes upon me, that I was Catherine the Great who was the well-beloved of Ad- miral Nelson.” A hearty peal of laughter shook the Vicar and his creaking chair. “It's & shame to laugh" he said “but it is really very funny.” “Yes,” smiled his sister. “It would be funny if it weren’t so ter- rioly pathetic. . . . And a little wor- rying. . . . For he came to me ¢ day or two later and, with every appearance of sanity and solemni- |] ty, tried to put me on my guard |l against Dr. Charters himself.
