INSTALLMENT XVIIL OCKE could just make out the old man's form now as the other came through the door—and then in the darkness it was lost again. But the patter of footsteps ahead of him, hur- rying along, served as a guide. He followed the other to the end of the hall, turned into the covered passage- way, and was halted again by the old man, this time at the door of the aquarium. “Tee-hee!” tittered the maniac. “They think they are dealing with a fool. Wait! Wait, young man, 1 will see that the window shades are all down before we turn on the light—though there avill be no one here tonight ex- cept ourselves—tee-hee!—they will be somewhere else!” The old man opened the door and disappeared. And now Locke, as he aited, and though he listened, could not hear the other moving around in- side—what sound the old man made was drowned by the noise of running water through the pipes that fed the tanks, and, added to this, the low, con- stant drip and trickle that pervaded the place. Presently the lights went on. “Here!” cried the old man. over here!” Locke blinked a little in the light as he stepped forward. It reflected be- wilderingly from the glass faces of the tanks that were everywhere about. He joined the old man in the cente of the aquarium. Here there was an open space from which the tanks radi- ated much after the manner of the spokes of a wheel, and this space was utilized as a sort of luxurious observa- tion point, so to speak, for a heavy Oriental rug was on the tiled floor, and ranged around a table were a number of big easy chairs. From under his dressing gown now the old man took a package that was wrapped in oiled silk, and laid it on the table. 'Money!” he cried abruptly. “Hah! We know its power, young marf you and 1! He began to fumble with the cord that was tied around the pack- age; and then suddenly commenced to totter again, “Did I not tell you I was being followed, always being followed? Well, last night they followed a wrong scent. Tee-hee! Tee-hee! I told you you would see who was the fool! They are there tonight—digging—digging— digging. Tee-hee! Tee-hee! They will dig the place all up before they are sure it is not there.” Money! That package! tightened a little. “Come dollars at And what to “see”—the half-million last that Polly had seen? did the man mean by “wrong scent’ And “digging"? “Yes, of course. Mr. Marlin,” said Locke quietly, “Of course, they will! But who is it that is following you? The old man dropped the package from his hands and leaned across the table, his eyes suddenly ablaze. “If T knew. I would kill them!" he whispered. “It is everybody—every- body! “Perhaps you are mistake; Locke spoke in a soothing tone. " *“Did you see anybody following you last night?’ “It is not necessary to see''—the old madman’s whisper had become sud- denly confidential—“I know. They were there—they are always there— watching—eyes are always watching.” He broke into his insane titter once more. ‘Tee-hee, yes, yes; and we are being watched by thousands of eyes tonight—look at them—the pretty things—see them swimming all around you—but they look and they say noth- ing—and they do not follow me.” His voice was rising shrilly; he began to gesticulate with his hands, pointing with darting little motions at one tank after another. “Do you hear? You need not be afraid because they watch. They will not follow us.” Locke sat down leisurely in a chair facing the other across the table. He was rather curious about this myste- rious digging of last night, a little more than curious; but, also, it was necessary to calm the old maniac's growing excitement, “I am quite sure of that, Mr. Mar- lin,” he agreed heartily. “We should be perfectly safe here, especially as you say that you have succeeded in making whoever was following you watch somewhere else, That was very clever of you, Mr. Marlin. The old man put his fingers to his lips.

They think it's there. They think that's where I hide the money. And they’ll keep on looking there. It will take them a long while. They will be looking there tonight—and perhaps tomorrow night, too. And then they will begin to fol- low me again. But it will be too late— too late for many, many days, because the time lock will be set—ha, ha—God supplies the time lock, young man— you do not understand that—but can you imagine any one opening a time lock that God has made Locke took refuge in a cigarette. Apart from some mare's nest in an old hut, it was quite hopeless! The old maniac's condition was growing stead- ily worse. There was a marked change in even the last 24 hours. It did not require any professional eye to discern that. ‘I think,” suggested Locke, conver- sationally, “that you were going to show me something in that package, Mr. Marlin.” “Yes,” said the old madman instant- 1y, and as though quite oblivious of any digression. ‘‘That is why you are here. Listen! You will tell your fa- ther about it. I do not ask others to /do what I do not do myself. Your father must do the same. He must get all the great capitalists of America to do likewise—it is the only thing that will save the country from ruin and disaster. Look!” The old man ripped off the cord and wrapper, and there tumbled upon the table, each held together with two or three elastic bands, a half dozen or more small bun- dles of bank notes. “See! See! Do you see, young man?” Locke with difficulty maintained an impassive countenance. He had ex- pected something of the sort, but it seemed somehow incredible that a sum so great as Polly had named should be represented by*those few little bun- dles scattered there on the table in front of him. up and rifled the notes through his fingers. It contained perhaps a hun- dred bills—one hundred thousand dol lars. He laid the bundle back on th table. Others were of like denomina- tion; others again of five hundred. The full amount was undoubtedly there. “Do you know how much is there?" demanced the old man, sharply. Locke regarded the money thought- fully. To name the exact amount off hand might aggravate the old ma- niac's already suspicious frame of mind. “I can see that there is a very large sum,” he answered cautiously. “A large sum!” echoed the madman aggressively., “And what do you call a large sum, young man?” “Well, at a guess,” sald Locke, quietly, “and basing it on that pack age I have just examined, I should say in the neighborhood of haif a mil- lion dollars. The old maniac thrust his head for- ward across the table, stared for an instant, and then suddenly burst into a peal of wild, ironical laughter. “Half a million!” He rocked upon his feet, his peals of laughter punctu- ating his word “Bah! There are five millions, ten millions, fiity mil- | lions there He shook his finger un- der Locke’s nose. ‘Do you hear what 1 say, young man?” The blue eyes had become alight with a mad blaze; hectic spots began to burn in the old madmn's cheeks. Locke nodded his head in a slow, de- iberate manner as the most effective thing he could think of to do by way of calming the other. The whole place, the surroundings, the grotesque shapes swimming around in the tanks everywhere he looked, the eyes of the queer sea creatures that all seemed to be fascinated by that fortuna which lay_upon the table, the constant drip and trickle of water, the crazed old man who rocked upon his feet and laughed, were eerily unreal. The sea horse in the tank that faced him from [ just beyond the other side of the table, for instance, seemed to be a most bi- zarre and unnatural creature both in shape and actions, even for one of his own species! Half past 2 in the morn- ing, in an aquarium with a madman and a half million dollars! Again, by way of appeasing the other, he nodded his head. “Listen!” cried the old maniac, flercely. “You must help me. Men are blind, blind, blind! Europe is crumbling, nations are bankrupt— chaos—chaos is everywhere. Every- thing else is decreacing in value; only the American dollar climbs up and up and up. Sell, sell, sell while there is time! Commercial houses are totter- ing, dividends are not being paid, the employment of labor becomes less and less—the end is near. And fools cling to their business enterprises, and their capital shrinks and is swallowed up and lost. Lost!” The man was work- ing himself into a fren: His voice rose to a shriek. “Lost! Do you not see? Do you not understand? Money alone has any value. And the less money there is left in the world, and the more that is lost, the greater will be the value of what remains. It will multiply itself by the thousandfold. Look! ~Look what is on the table here! It will hecome a wealth beyond counting in any case, and if no one will believe me, then the more it will be worth, because there will be the s money to compete with it. Mil- lions! Millions! Hundreds of millions! But T am not selfish. I don ot wish to see the ruin of the world. And vou! You will now be respons will not_listen to me because ay I am mad—I, who alone have sion to see and the courage to But your father will listen to | |vou and he will believe you, and the great financiers of America will follow our father, and—-" Subconsciously Locke was aware that the old maniac was still talking, the crazed words rising in shrieks of passionate intensity—but he was no longer paying any attention to the other. He was staring again at the glass tank, behind and a little to one side of the o!d madman, that contained | the sea horse. The creature was most | strange! It was only a small and di- | minutive thing, but, unless he were | the victim of an hallucination, it had taken on an extraordinary appearance. It seemed to possess human eyes. to assume almost the shape of a face— there was a shadow across it. The water rippled a little. The sea horse moved to the opposite corner of the tank, but the eyes remained in exactly the same original spot. Locke leaned nonchalantly back in his chair, though his lips were com- pressed now into a thin, grim line. They were human eyes, and the shadow across the face was a mask. Where did it come from? He began trying to figure out the angle of re- flection. The face of each glass tank, | of course, with the deeper-hued water behind it, was nothing more or less than a reflecting mirror. What was that dark straight line above the eyes? To begin with, the reflection must come from somewhere behind him and well to one side of him. Taking into consideration the position in which Mr. Marlin stood, it must be the left- | hand side. The tanks, then, that would seem to answer that require- ment became instantly limited in num- ber—it must be either the first or sec- ond tank of those that formed the left- hand side of the alleyway nearest to where he sat, and that, like the spoke of the wheel, led obliquely to the wall. } He could not see the wall, but—yes, he There was a window there. That dark line above the eyes was the window shade—raised 6 inches or so from the sill. It could easily have been accomplished—even if the old madman had carefully drawn every shade and shut every window in the a The drip and trickle, the running water, would have deadened any little sound made in forcing the window, and after that to reach in and manipulate the shade would haye been but child's play. Locke's eyes shifted now to the old He picked one of them | | Locke, “listen— By Frank L. Packard duthor of “The Miracle Man,” “Doors of the Night,” “Jimmie Dale,” Eto. Copyright, Geo. H. Doran Co. madman. What was to be done? The other, still rocking and swaying upon his feet, still flinging his arms about in mad gestures, his facial muscles twitching violently as he shrieked out his words, was already verging on & state of acute hysteria. Even to hint at the possibility that they were being Watched would not only have a prob- ably very dangerous effect upon the maniac, but would in itself defeat any chance of turning the tables on that watcher outside the window! Whose |eves were those, whose face was that | behind the mask? Intuitively he felt he knew—the trail went back, broad ‘nnd well defined, to London. New- combe! Capt. Francis Newcombe! Who |else could it be? His jaws clamped {hard together now. How turn intui- | tion into a practical, visible certainty, {by stripping that mask from the other’s face? The eyes were still there in the tank, His mind was working keenly, swift- Iy now. Suppose he made some ex- cuse to leave the aquarium and stole |around outside to that window? No; that would not do. In the first place, he probably could not get away from the old madman. And if he could, he dared not, for the length of time it would take him to accomplish any such purpose, leave the other alone with that money on the table and sub- Ject to attack from an open window |only a few feet away. There was only | one thing to do. The man outside the | window there, unaware that his pres- ence was known, would naturally not consider that he, Locke, was a factor to be reckoned with when, say, the old {madman left the aquarium here to | return the money to its hiding place, wherever -that might be. And there- { fore, if he, Locke, could manage to keep ward over Mr. Marlin without | being seen himself. the man out there would almost certainly rise to the bait and bring about his own downfall. The money was in evidence for the first time, its whereabouts known, and the man in the mask would be illog- ical indeed if he allowed it to be re- stored to the security of a secret hid- ing place without making an attempt to get it when an opportunity such 8 this apparently presented itself. But against this was a certain risk to which the old man would be subjected; if not a physical risk, then a mental one—which latter, to one in Mr. Mar- }Hn'u condition, would probably be the more dangerous of the two. And then there was the chance, too, that if luck turned an ugly trick the money itself might be in jeopardy. The old ma- niac’s unconscious co-operation must ‘M secured. The hiding place was iiomc\\‘hera outside the house. That was obvious, both from Mr. Marlin's nocturnal habits and from the even more significant fact that the old mad- | man, in coming to this appointment here tonight, had brought the money with him from somewhere outdoors. Also it seemed to be no secret that Mr. Marlin roamed abroad at night. Polly had spoken of it without reserve. It was therefore but fair to presume that one interested as was the man outside the window, and particularly if it were Newcombe, was in posses- sion of this knowledge. And being in possession of it, was equally capable of putting two and two together and would expect the old maniac to go out again tonight—with the money. If, then, without unduly alarming him, Mr. Marlin could be persuaded to re- main in the house with his money to- night, it would not only be the safest thing the old madman could do, but would afford him, Locke, an excellent chgnce to trap the man in the mask '@ the latter waited for his prey to o out. cke leaned forward now, crossed on the table and nodded his estly at the old maniac. One corner of the table at least was dis- tinctly visible from where the window would be along that little alleyway be- tween the rows of tanks, but he was careful not to glance in that direction. The reflection of the masked face still showed {n the same place. What was the old madman saying? Well. it didn‘t matter, did it? He interrupted the other now. “You are right, Mr. Marlin," he said gravely. “I agree with everything you have said. It is a most serious situation. I had no idea thatthere ex- isted any such vital and immediate necessity of realizing cash for every description of asset that we can lay our hands upon. And I had no idea of the immense potential value that this money here on the table, for in- stance, possesses. As you say, when the crash comes it will be wort told millions—a fabulous amount. “Yes, yet agreed the old man ex- citedly. He began to pat and fondle the bundles of bank notes. “Millions! Millions! Hundreds of millions!" “The amount is so vast,” said Locke, still earnestly, “that I cannot help thinking about what you said in ref- erence to being followed out there in the woods last night. I don't think you should risk any chance of being followed tonight when you have all this great wealth with you, even though you are quite sure you have put whoever it may be off the scent, and that he or they will be busy some- where else. I don't think, if T were vou, I would go out of the house again tonight.” The old madman straightened up and for a moment stared at Locke, and as he stared the red spots began to overspread his cheeks and the pu- pils of the blue eyes seemed to enlarge and darken. And then, with a sudden sweep of his arms, he gathered the bundles ‘of bank notes together, wrapped them up frantically in the viled-silk covering and thrust the package under his dressing gown. “Hah!" His voice rose in a wi'd and savage scream. *You think I should stay in the house, do vou? Hah! I see! Isee! Thatis what you want me to do, is it? You want to trick me! You are one of them—one of them— one of them! You could never find the money where I hide it! You could never open God's time lock! So you want me to keep it in the house to- night where you can get it! And vou think that I am a madman and can- not see what you are after! “You are one of them—one of them that follows—follows everywhere—and watches—and watches!” He burst into a wild peal of laugh- ter—another and another. He clutched flercely at the package under his dressing gown. His face was distort- ed. His free hand pounded the table, aliva showed at the corners of his | | | 8.

Locke’s chailr overturned with a crash as he sprang to his feet, and, darting around the table, started to follow; but the old maniac by now was already at the door. He saw the other’s hand snatch at the electric light switch. The aquarium was in sudden darkness. He heard the door slam. He groped his way to it and | wrenched at it. The old madman had locked it on the outside. (Continued in Tomorrow's Star) s RIVALS TAKE TO PISTOLS. Killed, ‘Another Reported Dying—Jealousy Over Woman.
