The end of the chase—A plunge and an attempted murder—cA telegram and a new trail — Face to face again! N the river's brink Hereward paus The night was pitchy dark in contrast to the recent moonlight. Judg- ing by the clouds there was little pros pect of the moon's reappearance for an- ether half hour. To plunge fullclad tnto the biuck Wailers cf 4 river to pursue @ man whom he could not see, whose Present location he could not guess, who had gained a long start on him and who had proved himself to be an expert ewimmer, was nothing short of sheer madness. Hereward, even through his consum- fag rage. realized this. and reluctantly he retraced his steps to the street he had quitted Then, for the first time, he remem- bered how suddeniy he had left Beck- ‘with and Fay, and understood how wor- ried they must have been at his non- appearance. Hurrying down Relay place to At- Jantic Square, he cdught a belated trol- ley car down Atlantic street to the sta- Won, only to learn that no train for Bridgeport was due to pass through Stamford for nearly two hours. Hereward sank down on a bench tai the empty station, his head on ‘his breast. The reaction had set in, The murder- ous wave of wrath that had 60 pos. sessed him was passing away, leaving hin dull, apathetic, inert. He could no longer even feol the former keen regret @t having been so utterly outwitted and at having caused by his absence such anxiety to the girl who loved tim. A railroad station at midnight {s not the most cheerful spot on earth. The Mghts burned drearlly and the big bare Foom, almost devoid of “human life, looked bare and gloomy in contrast to Ms usual workaday liveliness, The ticket seller drowsed behind his wicket, and the occasional purring cliok of the telegraph instrument transmit- ting routine messages along the line ke doletully on the stillness, The news stand in the cornur was @>sed and empty. A heavy, dusty at- mosphere pervaded the place. A ragged, unshaven vagabond stag- gered in, like some {ll-favored moth that is lured through the open window by a candle flare. Ho was very 4 ack and Yery hanvy He announced loudly that he would like to kiss everybody in sight, and then broke into an alleg- | ed song, wherein he tearfully and quav- eringly exhorted one Jennie to “wait GT the clouds roll by." The station agent roused himself from his nap, shouting angrily buc meeplly: “Git out o' here, you bum!" The vagrant departed weeping bit- (whom he had never before seen) that he had always loved him like a father, ‘Then silence settled again on the | Mr. At This Point Hereward Resumed the Trail—Scene, the Armory at South Norwalk, Conn. practically (= young nareotics to the Iad’s tited brain and body. Ho nodded; his head sank lower, and five minutes later he -had joined the slumbrous station agent in the land of dreams. . re OS Ba So a2 | “Sey!” catled a gruff volce, and Miles started up from a dose to see @ roughly dréssed boy shaking him by the shoul- der, “Say! repeated the boy, “is your name Hervwardt’ Miles nodded and the other thrust « yellow, envelope into his hasd. “Telegram for you. It just came-te uptown office and the bogs sent me down with it on my way home, Fifty cents, please.” Hereward produced @ half dollar and boy shuffled out.cf the station, Jeav- ing Miles to open the arimy envelope, wyich bore slens of much handling. ‘The message on the ruled telegraph form read as follows; E> South Norwalk and walt for me et Mahack~ emo Hotel, Walt two days if necessary, Imperative Will explain. “CHARLES BECKWITH." Hereward's trust in his uncle's jidg- ment was unbounded and he would cheerfully have obeyed @ far more ar- Ditrary command than that conveyed m the telegram he had just received. He Jooked at the address on the ea- velone: “Miles Hereward, Esq, Walting in RR Station at Stamtord, Con.” “Whatever his plan is,” he thought, Bridgeport, stopped st @ station on the way and sent mé thie despatch, He foresaw I'd comé Gack to the station after I'd finished whatever business took me away, and he arranged to have BY ROY &.
