Bristow didn’t bluster any; just smiled in that maddening, superior way of his and when I finished, condescended to explain. He had been humoring a lunatic, he said; my experience should have taught me the necessity of sometimes doing that. The story of the stolen jewels was pure dementia, but interesting as an example of unusual coherency % “He made the thing plausible enough, but it didn't sink in as he expected. I’d heard the two of them talk. There wasn’t any make-believe about It; they were right down to business. Actual names and addresses were given and written down. And the alleged patient was allowed to depart, free. "So I stood my ground, and bluntly told him that I didn’t consider the circumstances open to misinterpretation. “Bristow began tapping on the arm of his chair, but he was as cool as ever. ‘I looks as if your usefulness here is over,’ he agreed. ‘I regret it. Tou would have been a valuable man.’ ” “Si eak a ilttle lower,” she cautioned. “Thanks; I forgot for the moment. 'Veil, I left him then, and went up to siy room. I’ve told you how I attempted to get away and failed. After that I tried tc- get to Bristow again, but e.c wouldn't see me. So I turned to ilortc n.” “Morton?” she repeated interrogatively.

I didn't go into the whole thin* with him; Just told him I’d had v falling out with Bfistow and resigned, but that when I attempted to leave the place, I’d been prevented. • “He didn't show any surprise. He’d een primed. Just listened, and said now and then, 'l’m sorry,’ or ‘Too baa.’ I didn’t get attitude at the tiine. lly idea then was, that he was too keen on his job to take sides. But I gained a clearer light cn him when I finally talked to Bristow. "He was all. ready for me, and didn’t waste any time in laying his cards on the table. t “‘lt’s for your own sake that I have taken these restrictive measures,’ he said in his beat professional manner. ‘l’m not easily fooled, yet 1 confess I had no suspicion of you. But "your violent outbreak and the persistent way you have clung to ycur delusions leave only one course open to me. Do you remember any great shock or accident in your life?’ "I saw where he was heading, and boiled over. “ ‘No shock like finding you a scoundrel and a thief!’ I jumped up from my chair. ‘Of course I see your game, Doctor.

There may eventually occur—and I think I can help you in such a crisis—a struggle between the two personalities, and it will then devolve upon you to decide which one you wish to retain, definitely putting the other away. In the meantime, I feel it my duty to keep you under j observation.’ ” While he talked, Kelsey was aware that the girl was following his narrative with an almost feverish intentness, and he wondered again at her self-control. “Careful!” he warned quickly. "Miss Copley has come out and is looking for you.” He slouched back on the bench, looking more bored and gloomily abstracted than ever. The nurse crossed the lawn swiftly, her face darkening as she caught sight of the two on the rustic seat. “Vernal she called. “Verna!” There was an anxiety bordering on panic in her harsh, unmodulated voice. The girl did not respond at once. Then she started and looked about her, as if she had just returned from a far country and the present surroundings were unfamiliar. But at another, “Verna!” she rose* obediently and held out the note book and pencil. "Look,” she said; “see all I’ve written. He,” with a gesture toward Kelsey, “gave me the book and pencil.” “How nice.” The nurse was composed again. “Now give them back to him dear, and come in the house I have a hat I want you to try on.” CHAPTER IX j 1 UAKEZ Charlie was beginning || J to fell oppressed and -uneasy. J I Three days had passed since the hat was taken out of the Ranger’s car, and there had heen no succedlng developments. Again and again he had explored the straggling neighborhood where he lived, searching each fenoe-post and hoarding for another of those cabalistic communications, but wlth'but results. On the fourth morning as, after another fruitless hunt, he brought out the motorcycle which Ranger had insisted on his accepting in order to facilitate his movements, and prepared to start for town, he had the eir of a discredited prophet who has lest honor even with himself. As he drew up before the entrance to Lorlng’s office the outer guard to whbm he was now a familiar figure waved him along toward the office with the jocular announcement that the boss had been Just on the point of sending out a general alarm for him. Glumly he pushed up the corridor and opened the office door, then stopped short on the threshold and began awkwardly to back away. Inside. Ranger aAd Eustace Higby, the attorney were In earnest discus sion over a letter which Hlgby held in his hand; while over by the window stood Mrs. Ranger intenfcly studying a photograph. The slight noise made by Charlie’s intrusion and his mumbled apologies for blundering Into a family group roused the three from their preoccupation; and Ranger stepping quickly over, caught the retreating Juarez by the arm and drew him into the room.

“It’s come. Charlie”’ His eyes were shining. “Just as you said it would, old boy. A photograph and the demand for money. Found them on my desk when we came back from lunch.” He pulled Charlie across the room to his wife. “Mary Lou, this is Charlie.” She dragged her gaze from the snap-shot, and held the picture up for him to see. “It’s the hat all right.” He tried to throw some enthusiasm into his voice; but this atmosphere of jubilation left him feeling dry and meager. It was, as he told himself,' too darned premature. Charlie had his superstitions. “Yes: and It’s Hope, too,” Ranger declared. “We couldn’t be fooled on that point.” “Oh, yes; it is certainly Hope.” Mrs. Ranger’s voice trembled with emotion. “How can we ever thank you, Mr.—?” She hesitated, flushing faintly. She felt that she ought to know his name, and yet she could not remember ever having heard her husband use it. She compromised hastily on, “Mr. Juarez.” “I’m mighty glad to have, the chance of meeting you, too, Mr. Juarez.” held out his hand. “You’ve been the sole person to throw any light on the puzzle.” “That absurd hat!” Mrs. Ranger smiled deprecatingly. “And yet you ■were right about it. Mr. Juarez. It does prove conclusively that the picture was taken within a day or two, doesn’t it?” "They snapped her when she wasn’t expecting it. I guess,” Charlie explained; “and she’s laughing at herself in that sky-piece.” To Charlie's relief Ranger reminded him just then that he had not yet read the letter. He took it, ran over it perfunctorily, and laid it back on the desk without comment. “Well, what do you ..think?” Ranger was growing a little impatient at this., indirectness.

"Seems fairly plain,” he said. “They tell you. if you leave SIOO,OOO under a railroad crossing on the Lone Hill road at 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, your daughter will be returned; and they warn you that if you fail, or try to double-cross them in any way, you’ll never see her again. That’s about all there is to it, so far as I can see.” Higby, more astute than the others, realized that he was not going to be led Into expressing his real opinion in the presence of Mrs. Ranger, and tactfully succeeded in getting her to leave with him.
