Chapter 38 SIMON'S NEW PATIENTS A few weeks later, Williams H. illiam 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 jail and had been seen ab San Francisco in the company of one of his accomplices, Spider Schlitz, who! term of imprisonment had expired at about the same time. Hurrying round further news—the mentioned most to Uncle's for matter to be casually in the course of idlest conversation, of course—~w2 learnt that the man Schlitz was staying openly at the Kearney House in San Francisco, while Simon was in hiding in Rio de Ja . Gunman Gryde was roported to be still in New York, and Chink Dorson still in Columbiz Jail, where he had four years yet to serve. After a council of war, we decided that we would once again separ- ate, Willlam going to San Fran- cisco, his wife to New York, while 1 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 I really hopzd for, 1 did not know—beyond some kind of terrible punishment and re- wvenge. What I constantly visualized, and what constantly caused me to awake from sleep—with my hands clutching and flexed—was the thought of my hands upon the throat of each one of these sub- puman devils in turn. Dorson 1 would some day kill with my bare was a packet of heavily sealed hands; from Simon, apparently their leader, I soon would choke ghe life; and, ch, slowly, slowly, awould I, with iron fingers, strangle the man Gryde, that “Jimmy was necessary, he had returned as the penitent prodigal back from ;& drunken debauch, full of apolo- |gies and promises of reform—if the good Dr. Charters would take him back oncz 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 themt. On the whole, they rather ecuspected the chief Nursing Sister, but only on the strength of her somewhat | florid appearance. | In reply to a cable in our own cipher, William sent me a plan of the house and grounds, and a de- tailed account of the daily rou- tine of the Nursing-Home, and more particularly of Charter’s 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 sailed for England as soon as I had obtained a passpori; taking with me as much money as I was likely to require, and making ar- rangements, through the invaluable Uncle, for yet further supplies, should, they be necessary. scheme, T Arrived in England, Mr. John Waye, a grim-faced, gray-haired clean-shaven man who bore, per- haps, a slight resemblance to th2 long-dead millionaire, John Dacre Waye Vanderleur St. Clair, visited the famous specialist, Sir Bernard Matthieson, who diagnosed pretty accurately a bad case of neuras- thenia-with-complications in i man who had carefully refrain from food and sleep for thréo days, and had taken certain heart affecting and nerve-shattering concoctions well-known to maling- ering convicts. cede his by but a few hours. Of Williams H. Willlam 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 I was studying the lie of the land and the habits of Squire Theoph- ilus 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 I 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.” Pah! My strength should be as the strength of a hundred because my heart was a hell of seething hate and vengeance. I had been about a fortnight or so in Witherby End when I sud- denly got one of the shocks of a lifetime not wholly devoid of in- cident and tense moments. Vengenace treads two paths temorrow, and Waye, halting in his own, sces the other lead to a fatal ending. —— e o NOTICE After May 1st ail bills .or ac- counts against the Olympic Pool Room will be paid by George Stebac.
