Haig’s dry, shrill voice was like the crack of a whip as he aimed a long, lean forefinger at Hamp- den. The latter recoiled as from a blow. Murchell did not look at Blake or Hampden. From under wrinkled brows his eyes were boring deep into John’s, seeking to test the strength of the lat- ter’s determination. He saw only one way out; boldly he took it. “You can see the books. Now?” “We may as well begin now. It wil! take some time, I suppose.” Hampden, vainly trying to regain an appearance of composure, trembling!ly sat down. For a minute Warren said nothing. When he did speak it was in a low, lifeless voice. “I can save you the trouble. The statement I have been preparing for Senator Murchell contains what you want, I think. This is it.” He pointed to the papers lying on his desk. Slowly, mechanically, as one walking in sleep, he gathered up the books on the desk and carried them from the office to the vault. John saw Warrep put the books in their places, then fum- | come to the end.” ble around in a corner of the shelf ‘Warren seemed to fee! his presence. for, hand still resting on the shelf, he turned to face John. Then the hand. grasping a black, shining thing, leaped from the shelf to his head. John’s cry and the shot rang out together. For an instant the body swayed then crumpled in a heap on the floor. Four stunned men, held in a horrible fascination, knelt by the ghastly thing. dumbly watching the struggle of that which is called life to free itself from fits prison of flesh. Of these men. three of them, each in anguish, was calling himself murderer. For nearly an hour—an eternity— shaken to the very center of their be- ings, they kept the death watch. There mvas a shiver that passed over the pwhole body—then stillness.

He touched Hampden, who fol- lowed him docilely and fell into a rhair. “I seem to be the only one with a trace of sanity left. And I,” said Haig frimly, mopping his brow with a shak ing hand, “Il am pretty far gone. God 1 didn’t know it could be so awful: But we've got to decide whether we'll let this—how and why it happened- come out. By some miracle nobody seems to have heard. If the luck holds ‘we may be able to keep it quiet.” He fooked at Murchell. But a great change seemed to have come over the politician during the racking hour. His face was ashen; he looked old as he never had before. All the firm self reliance, the habit of domination, justified through so many trises, seemed to have broken down in the presenee of sudden, violent death. ie shook his head in a hopeless nega tive. “There’s no use trying,” he said wea- ily, “if you go ahead with this investi- ” He turned to John. “It’s for yyou to decide. If this is kept quiet and you don’t go on I can save the bank— maybe. But if you do go on there'll be great scandal and I can do dothing. ‘And—you've got to understand the sit ation—you'll have to prosecute Ham) @en here.” —— RRR Mk Ache + {man’s face, GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, APRIL 46, 1913. John did not answer. He was star- ing at the face of Warren Blake. Haig mopped his forehead again. e es H His Rise | “Let’s get out of here,” he muttered nervously. “If I stay much longer witb —that—I’ll be a gibbering idiot.” He took the dead cashier’s keys from the desk, turned out the light and went to the door. The others followed. They forgot to close the vault But ft was well guarded. New Chelsea had been long asleep, the streets emptied, when Haig and Murchell, accompanied by the doctor and undertaker—stockholders in the bank and frightened into secrecy— drove a roundabout course by side streets and alleys to the rear door of the bank. Like thieves, they entered | and carried what lay there out to the carriage. Then they drove away, pray- ing that no untimely passerby had chanced to observe them. But the luck held. little, faded old woman become in an instant a foolishly smiling child—burnt | into their memories, Haig and Mur- | chell emerged from the home of War- | ren Blake. Haig stopped, looking up. “I wonder what John Dunmeade is going through just now? I can see the end. The good have no luck. There’s a curse on the man responsible for this night. Old man, do you say amen? You and I will have to discuss the matter of payment.” He caught the other by the shoul- ders, peered closely into his face and, laughing harshly, turned away. Through a night that seemed endless a man fought a battle old as sin itself. He had sought the solitude of the fields in a blind, vain wish to escape the issue and ‘the thing that filled his eyes. He had come so near to greatness. And now, at an hour when he seemed most to need stimulus and support, he was brought face to face with the temptation to desert. It was one thing in a moment of disheartenment to cry, as he had cried to himself, “I have It was far different when opportunity had come to revive a sinking cause to stay his hand. He knew he had but to reach out to dis- close, not an Excalibur rising out of the waters to lend invincibility to him who would wield it, but a new prod for a calloused people, one fact the more to add to the knowledge, whose cumulative power in the end would—must—carry the people for- ward, upward. It was Hampden, Katherine and John Dunmeade against the people. And what did he owe the people, the calloused fools whose knowledge, if not complete, was yet full enough to show them whither they were going and whither they must turn, but who trudged contentedly on. indifferent to all but the present profit, thinking only of self, repudiating and sneering at those who offered honest service and counsel? The balance was all against them and in his favor. Let some one else now take up the task to which John, Dunmeade had been unegua!! He saw Stephen Hampden cowering, a suddenly broken, fear palsied man, before the death agony, looking with }a kind of wistfulness on the dying as though in Warren Blake’s example he saw a way out of the tangle. A troop of miserable, piti- | able figures marched before him—Slay- ‘ton, Brown, Parsons, Sheehan, Blake | men whom he had punished, whose lives he had shattered or taken in his crusade—to what end? Their places had been.taken by other men of like kind, the" world no better, no wiser, }so far as he could see. Behind the | troop marched a regiment of men and women, his neighbors, whose little | savings would be lost, did the bank | fail through his disclosures, but might | be preserved if Murchell’s promise to intervene was kept. Was there not more virtue in mercy than in punisb- ment? For long, in the fear of the man who knows himself weakening, he refused to face the crucial fact. But he had to come to it—to her—at last. He saw her as he had last seen her, the rose in bloom, a strong woman re fined and-softened by some heart pro- cess of which he knew nothing. If he went forward he must cloud the splen- dor and beauty of her womanhood with disgrace and suffering. He re volted against the thought—why must she, innocent, and at his hand, be made to suffer the penalty that others had earned? Could he strike the blow? It made no difference that she had flouted him for unworthy things. As once before nothing that she could say had added to the temptation that lay in her very existence, so now noth- ing that she had done could take from the fact of his love. For it lived. He could find through the years in unceas- ing work an anodyne to deaden the ache, but on this Mount Olivet it lived again. a throbbing passion that sub- merged all things else. He had not the strength of God, he told hjmself. He could not be so merciless to her, to himself. He fied homeward in the waning light and prayed feverishly for daylight. By his window. as once he had watched a dawn of promise, he saw it come, but without promise. At last, the battle ended. tog tired to seek his bed, he fell asleep in the chair. CHAPTER XIX. The Vulnerable Heel. OHN was awakened by the ringing of a church bell. Sa 6: It was a clear morning, the an sun shining brilliantly. The peace of, the Sabbath lay over all. Along Main street moved, with sedate stride, the: weekly processfon of church- Not even the news which they would receive in church, that Whrren Blake had dropped dead of heart fail Later still, with another picture—a | ure—grim jest!—would disturb their gravity. For the news would be ac- | companied by assurances from Senator Murchell and Stephen Hampden that the bank would be in nowise affected. John rose from his seat by the win- | dow and, obedient to the command of habit, made his morning toilet. When be was dressed he returned to the win- dow. He was very tired. His will, as though worn out by the scene and | off the heavy mental and physical lassi- | tude that oppressed him. Once he tried to recall the horror he had seen, but his inert mind balked. With sluggish curiosity he watched the figure of a woman walking down the street. Not until she turned in at the gate did he recognize her. There was no glad start. On the contrary. a muttered, querulous protest escaped him. He did not wish to see her just then. | Reluctantly he rose and went down to the library. She was standing at a | southern window through which the sun poured a golden flood. She heard him enter and turned. He halted just within the door. For a moment, silent, | they looked at each other across the | sunlit room. It was she who, with the brave di- |rectness that had always been hers, first broke the silence. “I have heard what—what happened last night. And I have come to ask you to do nothing that will harm my father.” Unconsciously his face darkened. It was not because of her request, but because of the picture she recalled. “I suppose it was for that. You have’— He would have said, “no need to ask.” But she misunderstood and interrupted quickly. “I have no right to ask this—or any- thing of you? I know that, more clearly than you can tell me. I put you in the way of unhappiness and then chose against you for things—for things of no value. It may give you some satisfaction to know that they are gone—though you can hardly be- lieve that the taste for them went first. “I—my father and Senator Murchell, the men who will profit by your silence, deserve nothing at your hands, at anybody’s. I can’t pretend that they would show mercy to you. But my father, at least, is a broken man. Last night took away his courage. He believes that he is responsible for War- ren Blake’s’”— “No!” She saw him shudder and draw back. “No! I, with my rash- ness, am to blame for that.” “Ah! you mustn’t say that.” She took a step forward, eager in his de- fense. “I know what you've been through and how it must have given you the horrors. But you mustn’t say that. Nobody could think it. You only did your duty. But I’m afraid for him. He is half crazed from fear and shock, I think—I couldn’t endure many more nights like last night. I’m afraid, if it all comes out, he'll take Warren Blake’s way out”— “Don’t! he cried roughly, as if in pain. “I’ve gone over it all.” “I’m not trying to frighten you. And |I didn’t want to—to come to you.” The | steadiness was leaving her. She jthought she saw in his lack of re- sponse a hostile determination. “I have no right to ask a man—such as you are—to sacrifice himself, his con- science for such a man. I can offer no—no adequate return. But he is my father and it is not—it can not be ‘so very wrong to err on the side of mercy. And once you~ said—you cared”— “It was true. It has always been true! What I will do will not be because | you ask it. but because it is for you. And not for a price. And—you haven't thought it out very clearly, have you? —what you mean ts impossible in any case. If I went on with the investiga- tion you couldn’t love the man who was prosecuting your father. And, just because you understand what is right in the case and are what you are, you couldn’t respect and so couldn’t love the man who weakly did what was wrong for him—even for you. And just now—you are very anxious to save your father.” The fiood of crimson ebbed. She looked at him strangely. “Do you be lieve—that?” “Il know it. But you needn’t be afraid any longer. Your father is safe so far as I am concerned. That was settled before you came.” She turned from him in an immeas- urable relief to look out of the window. The voice of the congregation rose again in the closing hymn, “Onward, Christian Soldiers.” The hymn ended. She raised her head and faced him, unshed tears in her eyes. “John Dunmeade,” she cried, “I don’t know yet how much of what you have said is true. And I don’t know whether you have been weak or strong. But there are finer things than the strength of heartless justice. One of them is—must be—to be merciful, to want to show mercy where you owe none, where you believe you can gain nothing, as you have done. I can’t—1 shan’t try to thank you. But I shall always be praying for you all the good things you have earned as you go— and you will go—onward.” He merely repeated an old saying. “I haven't thought as far ahead as to- morrow. And now you'd better go be- fore church lets out. If people saw you here'it might set them thinking.” Warren Blake’s body was buried and his tragedy with it The luck had held to the last. No suspicion of a lurking mystery had been breathed. And Wil- liam Murchell returned from the fu- neral to a birth. His enemies have called him inhuman, lacking in moral sensibility. There are episodes in his career which sup- Port the charge. But deep down with- struggle of the night, could not shake | in him had always laid something that, long pregnating, now fought to win to the light. He was suddenly arraigned before himself, become by the tragedy most pitiless of judges. The vigorous mentality that had hungered and thirsted for action, lusted for sharp combat, sought insatiably for power and ever more power, now turned upon himself, with precise, merciless strokes dissected his life for him, revealed its essential ugliness, disclosed overlooked potentialities. It was the evening after the funeral. He was alone in bis library. But he was not reading. He was angrily watching the gathering of a belated force in his existence. He frowned when from the hall came the sounds of altercation, heated on one side and coolly confident on the other. Then the door was thrown open, and Haig. followed by the prot- estamt man servant, entered. The nov- elist briskly crossed the room and planted himself in a chair before Mur- chell. The involuntary host greeted him inhospitably. ‘I told Jim 1 would see nobody tonight. What do you want?” “You remember, Saturday night I said you and I would have to discuss the matter of payment? ‘The time has come, the walrus said.’” “Well?” “Senator Murchell, have you a con- science?” “Are you trying to be impertinent, young man?” : “How impertinent? I’m merely try- ing to verify an impression. The oth- er night, while you were watching Warren Blake die, I got the notion that you had one. Now Warren Blake is out of the way. Hampden won't be disgraced. There’s to be no scandal. Your plans to save the bank are un- der way. Other plans of yours are no longer in jeopardy. So it’s time to think of payment. I have just come from Dunmeade. He isn’t a very happy man, Senator Murchell. He’s oppressed by the knowledge that he has been weak. He has lost his pride, his belief in himself, his sense of ab- solute honesty—call it soul for short. The poor fool even thinks he is to blame for Warren Blake’s shooting himself. You and I know better. We know who killed Cock Robin.” Haig laughed insinuatingly. “You have a strange sense of hu- mor. Just what are you trying to in- sinuate?” “I mean that we know that the man who killed Warren Blake was the man who killed Creighton, Hawkins, Delehanty, Burns, Schneider, Larkin and Blake. And he’s the fellow that created an atmosphere of dishonesty in political banks and public treas- uries, made opportunities for thievery. encouraged and profited by peculation —in short; the man who devised and built the machine whose creatures and victims have paid the penalty of their crimes with suicide. Do I make my- self clear?” Murchell sat up angrily. “That isn’t true. I’m not responsible if a few weaklings aren’t able to resist tempta- tion and take the easiest way out” “It was Cain, I believe,” Haig pur- red, “who first pleaded that excuse.” “See here, Haig! If you have any- thing important to say, say it. Other- wise”— Haig leaned over, interrupting men- acingly, tapping the senator’s knee to emphasize his words: “I’d advise you to listen. Will you?” “Go on.” (To be Continued.) The concluding chapters of. this story are now at hand, and will be continued without interuption until the end.
