\ fre used to talk in his sleep in the veel, and he'd often dream he was 4 VALUABLE CLUES. HORNE saw that he had reached risky “ground. He hedged carefully. ‘He dldn'ty exactly tell me," he qualified talking to Parrot and say something about paying for Dora. 1 couldn't! help -hearing"*— She studied him with cold apprais- ing eyes, ‘He meant my older sister, Dora," she said quietly. ‘Parrot ruined her husband and we think he knows where Dora is. We haven't heard of her since—since the trouble. We were following him up pretty closely when he tricked us, We thought we were hunting him and he was hunting us all the time. We'd never seen him, you know; we'd only heard about the affair from Dora's letters, and then, after she disappeared, from the pa- pers. And he managed things won- derfully—to get father out of the way for five or six years. You know we moved heaven:and earth to prove the truth. Father hadn't any reason to steal from his bank. Why, we were rich then, and we're rich yet! But he made it seem absolutely clear that father did it, and made it seom all the more contemptible, too, because we didn't need the money. No Governor would dare to pardon Dad." Thorne shook his head sympatheti- wally, The case began to neem less supportable than ever. To arrest a man for killing the villain who hnd destroyed his daughter—why, thought The Tracker, suddenly, in Lawton’s place he would have done the same thing and counted it a sacred duty. “We haven't made it easy for Par- rot, though; he must have had a frightful time of it ever since father's trouble. He hasn't moved without our following him; he hasn't been ablo to change his name and his looks with- out our knowing it and Jetting him know that we know. He must have spent those five years tn one continu- ous state of terror, ‘That was my part. I took Dad's place when they sent him to Hamilton." ‘Thorne’s eyes widened, “You mean you actually trailed Timothy Par- rot?” he said, incredulously, “You ismew where he was all the time? She shook her head. “I couldn't have told the police how to ake him,” she said. ‘I didn’t actually follow him, That was done for me. lt was very simple, really, You see, he had a servant—a man he took with him wherever he went, and who shared more or less in, everything he did. This man, George Merrick, was our friend, a» far as he dared be. It was through him that we found out that Parrot knew where Dora was, after father had been con- victed. He came to see me and helped me plan the scheme. “You see, Parrot had evidence that would have convicted George Merrick of murder; that was the reason he could trust him. I think Merrick must have been driven desperate to kill a man, for I never saw a milder, softer person in my life. But he was in deadly terror of Parrot, even when he risked coming to me. He hated him, of course, but he feared him even more. And Parrot kept telling him that if anything happened to him Merrick would be caught ‘and con- victed, So Merrick wouldn't help me unless I promised that Parrot should never be turned over to the police, The plan was to frighten him into telling us where to find Dora, or what had happened to her. “Wherever Parrot went, Merrick went, too, And some time before he changed his name Merrick would come to me and J'd write a letter, ad- dressed to him under the alias he was using, and telling him that he had two years or one—whatever it might be—before he'd pay for Dora Faulk ner. Merrick would slip the letter into Parrot’s pocket ‘or sen it to him through the mails. He promised me that when father got out we should have our chance to deal with Parrot; and that was the best he'd do. He was very much afraid; sy terrified that 1 can hardly understand how he dared to help us as much as he did. 1 hope this won't lead to his being caught—Parrot’s death, | mean. Poor old man!
