Then when I said that I coveted not the reward but the fame of finishing up a difficult case, and intimated what comfort the restored wealth would bring to her father, she became my true friend. I had not seen Dan Haley since he entered the penitentlary. I was shocked at his aged appearance. He stooped and walked feebly. There was none of the buoyancy and eager- ness one might have expected from a man who was about to reap the rich rewards of secrecy and patience. Another thing, he seemed lost in his new environment. The free afr, the bright sunshine and varied crowds did not inspire him, they rather confused. I saw at a glance that he wae a bro- ken man. His first move with the money the prison authorities had given him was to board a train for the town where he bad formerly lived. He was a widow- er. Haley proceeded to the site of the house where he had once lived. It was easy to shadow him. In his dis- pirited way he seemed indifferent to surroundings. The house he expected to find had been burned down for two years. A new one was now In course of con- 0000000000000 000 DAN HAD FORGOTTEN By AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER- WIN. I had been the employe of a certain private detective agency for ten years when Dan Haley was released from the state penitentiary., That was an event I had been waiting for all that period of time. I had been advised of the day—nay, the very hour when he was to be released. It was a balmy June morning when I was welcomed to the office of the warden. “I fancied you would be on hand,” observed the prison official with a comprehensive smile. “Naturally,” I responded, “inasmuch as I have not lost sight of this vital moment through all the years.” “You expect it to lead to something, then?" “It will if Dan Haley does not sus- pect he {s being watched when he leaves this place, yes.” The warden fixed a serlous look upon me, He had been always accom- modating, even indulgent with me. I traced friendly interest in the way he now regarded me. . I stood outside the yard “See here, Blake,” he said, “you ::hr;iwlmwatched him wander around have been a good man in your line it.

He transcribed some words written there, memory that later overtook him. I traced those telltale words later. . They were: “Under the woodshed flcor.” Then I was on his trail again, I took him in charge as he returned to his native town. Then I visited the shed.
