Chapter 42 RETRIBUTION Sorely was 1 tempted at times tos take the risk and go out of hiding—taking Marjorie with me— without waiting for the arrest, trial and condemnation of Chink Dor- son. ~But I resisted the temptation partly because the police were seek- ing a man answering to my appear- mance (on the evidence of the sta- gion master at Witherby End), partly because I had not known Marjorie long enough.to ask her 40 trust herself to me and partly because some weeks at least must elapse ere I could receive from Uncle a sufficient sum of money fér theapwrposes of safe and dis- tant flight as well as for the pay- ment of Willlams H.

So we'll postpone this eon- férence and slide out of the win- dow. When ‘Jimmy' gets tired of walting, he’ll but-in here and get the surprise of his life.” Whereupon he unwound his knot- ted cord from beneath his dressing gown, slipped its steel hook over the inner window-ledge and led the way to the turf, 20 feet belo *Mrs. William then dropped the eord down to us, and we re-entered the house by way of the window of Willlam's ground-floor room. Sure enough, James flung open the door and entered half an hour iater and got, as William had said, | the surprise of his life. ' Albeit desperately anxious, I de- cided that, so long as I was alive, ‘Marjorie was safe. 3iBut nevertheless I took every pos- | sible precaution and exercised the ! most unceasing vigilance. Among | the former were efforts te sow mus | tual distrust among members or; the gang, to mystify and frighten| them and to find faithful friends| @ngd a safe refuge for Marjorie. “This last I contrived to do after making one of those ridiculous mis- takes the memory of which makes one blush with shame.

At my wit's end I paid a visit to to this mamn, summed him up for what he was and then, having re- vealed myself to him, laid before \y His reply was: | “I do believe you and I will help.” | “Then,” said I, “will- you tell your sister everything that I have !tcld you and that you are abso-! | lutely convinced that every word of it is true?” “I will . . . But why not do that yourself?” he sald. | " “Because,” I replied, “she would { listen with patience, pat my hand | with kindly sympathy and see that (1 had a good bromide sleeping- {draught that night . . . | “You sce,” I added, "I have been at scme pains to acquire a repu- tation as a harmless lunatic.” Laurence Weldon smiled. “Of course!” he said. “You're the | ‘madman’ of whom my sister has itold me diverting stories. D'yon 'know I absclutely forgot all that las soon as you started telling me | your history.” | “You're in no doubt now,” I smil- led in return. " “None, whatever. Nor will my sister be—when I've finished talk- | ing to her. It will be a most fright- ful shock tp her when she realizes i the truth about Charters. She has the greatést respect for him. Her {work in that Nursing-Home is her life . . . By the way, I suppose {Dr. Studley is all right?” . “Absolutely. ~He's in the dark as to the past history of Char- iters, MacAdoo and Mr. James. /Studley js one of the bast, and with a blameless record.” “I'm sure of it, but how do you { know?"” v | “oh, 1 have a splendid chap who has been working here—under the name of Campball—for a very long {time, and who has looked up his record pretty carefully. There's no- body there who isn't exactly what 1 he or she scems to be, except Char- {ters and his son, their two wives and MacAdoo . . . When you've | told Sister Weldon, and cgnvinced | her that I'm no more insane than | you are, Tl tell her all I've told |you, and convince her of my san- ity. When the time is ripe, I shall get Marjorie Lauderdell out of The | Monastery and, as you have sug- lgesbed, bring her straight here.” “It won't be easy to get her . mused Weldon. “No,” I agreed, “it won't. But Tl get her away, all right, when ! opportunity offers—providing your sister will help me, which, of course, she will.” “But, hang it all man,” he eéx- pleded, “why not go Straight to the police at once? We can . . .” “We can't,” I smiled. “As far a Marjorie’'s case is concerned, there is not one shred of evidence . . . and that Nursing-Home is a place of unblemished reputation, approy- ed by some of the most eminent doctors in England. And as for myself—going to the police would be an easier matter than coming away from_them. Remember, I am a hunted Criminal. “But get your sister on my side, and Il save Marjorie—and deal with Charters, James, MacAdoo and Co., afterwards.” “Yes," agreed Weldon. “Admir- lably conducted as The Monastery }is, and with a splendid staff that includes Dr. Studley and my sister, it can't be allowed to go'on . . . under its present regime, anyhow.” A great weight was lifted from |my mind now that I knew that 1 | had found for Marjorie a safe ref- {uge and the staunchest of friends. Sister Weldon's position was dif- ficult and rather terrible for, if my tale were true, her world was crum- bling about. her. | Her attitude increased, if pos- sible, my admiration for her, ‘for {she decided to. suspend judgment, to wait and to wateh, and then to act with the utmost promptitude in the event of a crisis, and the con- firmation of the truth of my story. Should Charters, MacAdoo, Janes the Matron and Nurse Jones prove {to be what I accused them of be- |ing, nothing should prevent her | immediate denunclation of them, Inor induce her to work anothe: | | Meanwhile, neither believing nor —in deference to her brother’s ad- mired judgment—wholly rejecting my story, she decided to watch and wait; to increase, if that were pos- sible, her vigilence, and to view any strange happenings, if not with suspicion, at any rate in the light of what I had told her. Again to shorten my story, the arch-enemy, the one whom I had hated ten times rore than I had hated Charters himself, the one who had sinned most against Rose- mary, was how the one who sinned most against Marjorie and, in so doing met his death. The man of them all whom I would most readily kill with tor- ture but whom, softened by my love for Marjorie, I would have spared, brought about his own dreadful punishment in trying to kill Marjorie. Charters, his father, broken- hearted and fearing exposure and arrest, fled, taking with him his partners in crime, his wife, his daughter-in-law, and the man Ma- ¢hado. ‘What became of them I neither know nor care. Of the four criminals who kid- naped Rosemary, three have died dreadful deaths in consequence, and I am now content to leave the punishment of the fourth, their leader, in the hands of God. Nevertheless, in the very act of leaving The Monastery in urgent haste and for ever, Marjorie and Bister Weldon being safely outside its walls, I spared a few minutes A LAW T'MARE MApmAei—)—/"/ fer the arch-rogue of this gnng.‘ and, T believe, of benefit to man- | kind.
