Mr. James is killed by an accidental drink of the poi- son he had prepared for her, and James's father, Dr. Char- ters, fleeing to America with Waye’s stolen passport, is there by identified and imprisoned to scrve Waye's term. Who is this Waye, an asylum for whem Charters had dared not refuse? Waye had lingered with him until after Chink Dorsen, im- plicated by a “confession” Waye had placed beside the body of “Spider” Schlitz, hang- ed for the murder. Schlitz, Dorson, James—all dead now, and Waye's strange words had indicated that he saw the hand cf retribution shaping their fates and those of Dr. Char- ters, Dr. MacAdoo and the cther crocks. Perhaps Waye's own story will clear the mys- teries. Chapter 28 JOHN WAYE'S STORY My real name is John Dacre Waye Vanderleur St. Clair, my father was Dacre Vanderleur St. Clair, the multi-millionaire rail- way, oil and mining magnate. He made his millions quite hon- and provided work for near- ly as many thousands of men as he amassed thousands of dollars. But, as apparently upon all vast wealth, there was a curse upon his | money, a curse inherent in it by reason of its very magnitude, and his life was almost as unhappy as| my own has been. ‘To me, his sole heir, he left our, | famous family diamond, The Un- seiting Sun, and that portion of his wealth that remained after he had dispersed much of it in pro-} schemes. attributable moting philanthropic My first misfortune, to my wealth, was my marrmge“ 557 Rabs Thaly Sbein tintlove within a couple of years of our wedding, that she had married me for my ! money and for nothing else.

I hoped ,and I almost believed, that, by that time, she would feel it impossible to leave Rosemary— and I felt that if she could still find it in her heart to leave her baby, the child would by then be fitted to face life without her mother. I had a horror of the thought of a sick or suffering child, too young to speak, unable to describe its pain and say what its symp- toms were, and what it wanted. It was quite a foolish idea of mine, of course, because, after all. lone can obtain the services of | truly excellent women who can give a child almost everything it I needs, and understand it quite as !well as a mother could, perhaps. Give it, in fact, everything but mother-love, the one thing that it really wants. 1 have not said, and I hardly need to say, that I stipulated that, if Alicia left me, Rosemary should remain in my charge, though of course Alicia would be free to see her whenever she wished to do s0. Well, Alicia wext, and I believe, and earnestly hope, that she was thoroughly happy with her sol- dier. And there again sne, poor girl, ame under the curse of my fath- er’s wealth. Had it not been for the money which I had settled upon her on our wedding, she would have been unable to marry her lover after she divorced me, as I allowed her to do, and they would : not have been able to purchase | the yacht which was the cause of their death. Well, they lived happily to- gether, and they died together. And T was left alone with Rose- mary. I will not attempt to do that impossible thing, describe what Rosemary was to me. I had never been in love up to this time, and once in my life. . . . But, oh, how I loved Rosemary! Of course, one can love with all one’s heart and soul, mind and strength, without actually being “in Jove.” I take it that, in the per- fect marriage, the man and woman are, at first and for a long time, “in love,” and, after that, for the rest of their lives, they love. So it would be absurd to use the expression, “I was in love with Rosemary,” but I so loved her that she literally filled my life. My first walking thought was of Rosemary; my last thought at night. Day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year she grew more wonderful to me. I can hardly say more lovable. And though I provided her with the best hired mother that money could procure and with every sort and kind of governess and nurse and servant, I grudged every hour that she spent with them and con- trived that she spent most of her waking hours with me. I should become wearisome if I continue longer in this strain, as, no doubt, I was wearisome to SHOES, SAMBO! to see her, again as usual, when FORMER LOCAL PEACE Louthbound samimg and proceed she was in bed. And that was the last time I ever saw Rosemary as the bright, ! happy, charming, delightful little human-angel that she was. That night my hous¢ was bur- glarized and with extraordinary skill and cleverness. Dogs were poiscned, the watchman was sand- bagged and, in spite of that, not a soul was disturbed. And what of value was stolen by the burglar or burglars? 1 Nothing. 3 Only Rosemary. The thing of value ten thousand | times greater than all the rest of my possessions put together. } Can you imagine the condition that I was in when I realized that my Rosemary had been taken from her warm bed out intp the cold' night, like a horse from a stable? Of course, the possibility of some cne making an attempt to kid- nap my only child had occurred to me when, from time to time, I read accounts in the papers, of the children of wealthy and prominent | people being kidnaped and held for | ransom. | But it had not been an ever-| present fear, partly because Rose- | mary lived so much under my own eye and partly because she was! constantly surrounded, by a fal?.h | ful and devoted circle of her own personal protectors and servants— the lady-housekeeper in whose per- sonal charge she was, the nurse, the under-nurse, her English gav- erness, her French governess, her groom, her chauffeur, the boy who looked after her dogs, any one of whom, I verily believe, would have laid down his or her life to save Rosemary from .harm. i When I realized the child was gone, utterly gone without a sound. or a sign, T had to take tight hold | upon myself. But in the most secret depths of | my innermost soul I swore that I would leave no stone unturned, no dollar unspent, . first, to recover Rosemary, and secandly, to pun- ish those who had been guilly of this outrage, this infamy, of ter- rifying, stealing, and thereby mal-‘ treating a child—for the sake of money.

I owned four great houses, and moved from one to the other ac- cording td the season of the year, so that, as well as having the best of everything else that money could provide, Rosemary should have the best of climate. And thus, for a dozen years, we lived the most idyllic life, with the truest love and one of the love- liest relationships that ever exist- ed between two human beings. For, thank God, Rosemary loved me as I loved her; and I do not think she was ever really per- fectly happy out of my presence.
