DONALD

DONAL

Copyright, 1C02, by Charles W. Hooke (Continued.) With the crude caution appropriate to his trade, Gillespie dragged, his chair closer to mine, and with an eye upon the doer and his lips close to uiy ear he whispered: "It's your man Donaldson who turn ed this trick." 'No. sir," said I; "that won't go." 'Wait a bit," said he, laying a hand upon my arm. "I won't listen to this charge except in Mr. Donaldson's presence," said I. "You don't inspire me with very much conlidence, to be frank with you. But if you have the stamina to make this charge to Mr. Donaldson's face, that will give you a sort of standing." "Very well," said he, spreading out his hands. I touched a button that rings a bell in the outer office, and when a boy entered in response to it I said: "Ask Mr. Donaldson to step this way." It happened that Donald had entered the outer office within a few minutes, and the boy thought that it was the son and not the father whom 1 wished to see. To my surprise, therefore, the door presently opened, and Donald en tered. He closed the door slowly and stood with his back against it. "How do you do, Mr. Gillespie?" he sa id. The detective was taken by surprise, but he masked it fairly well. "You have just undo a serious charge against my fa l her." said Donald. "Have you any proof i f it'.'" "I'll produce my proofs at the proper time." answered Gillespie. "This is the proper time," said I. "Produce the evidence now or forever hold your peaoe." "I say that he took the money," protested Gillespie. "He changed the packages on your desk. That I knew at the start, but it took me a long while to work down to what he'd done with the money." "Weir," said Donald, "have you worked down to it?" "I have," responded Gillespie, with precision. "lie played the same trick twiee. He put tin- money into another package and dropped it in his box at the bank." ' "Can you describe that package?" demanded Donald. "Well enough." answered Gillespie. And he gave details, adding. "I saw him take that paekage to the bank at a certain day and hour." And he named the day and the hour, whereby 1 knew for certain that, it was the Strobe! correspondence to which he referred. "Your case fails, Mr. Gillespie," said I. "Mr. Donaldson gave me that package of papers. It is now in this safe." Gillespie was staggered. He darted a keen glance at me and read clearly in my face that the facts were as stated. "He gave them to you?" said he. "How did he happen to do it?" "I asked him for them." I replied. "Well. :f you asked him for them he had to give them to yon. didn't he?" said Gillespie. "ITo couldn't refuse. He had to i;ive them to you and take Lis chances of getting the money afterward. Let's see the package." I was already busy unlocking the safe. Gillespie had hard work to re strain himself during this process, and when the safe was open I expected to see him dive into it, but he managed to stick to his chair. I took the package out and opened it upon the leaf of my desk. The various documents rolled apart. There was no money whatever in the package. "Who had the combination of that safe?" demanded Gillespie. "Myself alone." said I. "I changed it on the day when I put the package in there. It is an unquestionable certainty that nobody has opened the safe since then." Gillespie began to walk the floor, gnawing his lips. "Well, sir," said I. "If you are ready to make your charge, I will call Mr. Donaldson." "I don't think I'm quite ready," said Mr. Gillespie slowly. "Can you produce the money?" "Not this afternoon." he replied; "not this afternoon. 1 may have some thing to say about it tomorrow.' He stood looking at Donald for some seconds thoughtfully, then turned upon his heel and strode out of the room. Donald walked to one of the windows and stood there, moodily staring out. Not knowing just what to say, I busied myself in wrapping up the papers and returning them to the safe. "Can this be confidential, uncle," said Donald "everything that happens between us this afternoon? Why bother my father with it yet? Let's wait until we get to the bottom of it." "I'm willing, Donald." said I, "if you think it important." "It is indeed." he replied. "And now before you lock up the safe I'll give you this." He drew a great roll of money from the side pocket of his sack coat. "Mr. Gillespie was suspicious that the amount might be a trifle short," he

said. "It is. There's $5,000 missing "This Is my prediction," he analmost all the smaller bills." nounced, "and if you won't look at it 1 was. so overpowered by surprise tllLafterward I'll glve.it to y.ou uncle."

By HOWARD FIELDING that f did not at first notice this new instance of the accuracy with which Donald could quote remarks which were not made in his presence. lie had repeated Gillespie's suspicion precisely. "You have found it!" I exclaimed. "I had to," replied Donald. "This man was coming to make this charge against ray father. It was absolutely necessary that I should find that money. Put it away, please. Quick! Some one is coming." Donaldson and Jim Bunn entered, the former waving his hand, in which there was a letter. "The proxy from Silas Harrington!" he cried. "The branch is safe. We can win now by fifty shares even if Thorndyke votes against us." "If Mr. Thorndyke votes against you." said Donald gloomily, "you will lose by fifty shares." We all stared at him. that out." said Donaldson. "I don't figure it out." said Donald: "I know it. Yet what 1 know is not what will happen. It is what would happen if I didn't know it. Is that clear?" "As clear hs nfud." sakl his father, laughing. ''I Eli XV. ;:,) of dcatii. once mere how the iisds." said I. "Practi cally every share of the whole lO.uon can be placed now." I sat down by my desk and made out a table, which I will present here somewhat abridged. It is not necessary t'b include the names of the small stockholders whose position was perfectly well known to us. nor of those whose proxies were held either by Kelvin or myself. The event proved that we were right about this matter to the last share. Therefore the list may be given in this form: HARRINGTON. John Harrington 4,iro Donaldson .- HK) Archer W bunn too feilas Ilarririicton (proxy "W Proxies and small holders Sio 5.02D 3. !)') 225 850 4.975 KELVIN. Kelvin Thorndyke Proxies and small holders. Harrington's majority. '0. There was considerable discussion in regard to the smaller holders who would personally vote and in regard to the proxies, for. though Donaldson and I were perfectly agreed, .lim Elunn differed from us very widely. He believed that of the SoO shares which 1 had credited to Kelvin in the above table at least one-half would go to us, thus making the result of the election sure. 1 don't know how he could so far deceive himseif. but he was perfectly sincere in his opinion and persisted in crediting us with the votes of men who were as sure to vote the Kelvin ticket as Kelvin was himself. Among them were two members of the present directory of the company. It was they who had objected to moving the oliit -e. as I mentioned somewhere in the arly part of this narrative. It will be remembered that Donald had made a startling prediction, in regard to P.unn and that it had been verified by Iiunn's redemption of his stock which had stood in my name. Put I had received Putin's solemn pledge that this stock should not pass out. of his control, either by sale or proxy, and Unit it should never be voted against me. He was a stockholder of record at the date prescribed, before the election, and I counted upon him with the same certainty that 1 counted upon Donaldson or Archer. When my table had been made up and sufficiently discussed, I showed It to Donald. "This may be all right, UnVe John," said he, "but I wili bet a million dollars against a teaspoonful of cast wind that it won't come out that way. However, if you win you don't care what the vote is." "I'd like to know what you think it's going to be," said I. "I'm ashamed," said Donald. "It's silly for me to pretend to know anything about, it." Punn was hitching about in his chair. "I think it would be very interesting," sit id he. "I'd like to know whether you think the same way that I do about it." "Your opinion is far the worst of the lot, Mr. Putin." responded Donald jokingly. "You're not right, even about the 'grand total, without regard to the way the votes fall upon one side or the other." "No. no. Donald," said I. "Mr. Punn figures as we do, thatvery share will be voted." The boy looked surprised. "I thought he estimated them a hundred short." said he. Bunn slowly raised himself frprn his chair. "I must get back to my work." said he. Donald meanwhile was writing on a slip of tjaper.

r:i. i TIIU r::::i;:c 111 lyr s;'(' m tlliSt:

"All right, my boy," I replied. And when he had sea Jed up the prediction In a very small envelope I put It into my waistcoat pocket.' In the course of the next day or two I had several opportunities for exerting my powers of persuasion upon Mr. Isaac Thorndyke. He was evasive, but his Intent was clear. The man could be counted absolutely with the Kelvin party. What Inducements Kelvin offered him 1 have never learned, but I have suspected that they consisted in promises to invest money In a crazy invention which Thorndyke controlled and in which he had Just sense enough not to sink all his own money. No change occurred in the situation up to the day before the election. On the afternoon of tuat day Donald and I were walking along the business street of Tunbridge, where most of the stores are and the principal-, hotel, a sorry place of entertainment, I regret to say.

I As we approached it I saw Detective Gillespie come out. He paused upon the edge of the upper step, and I noticed that he was a trifle unsteady, as if under the influence of dri: !:. 1 had had no interview with this man since the day when he had made his extraordinary and baseless charge against Donaldson. I knew that he had,remained in town, and I had taken some pains to make sure that he " you liavc anything to any upon this matter, speak now." was not repeating his accusation. Had he done so I should have made trouble for him. But so far as I could judge his main business was to drive about the town in a light top buggy and look mysterious. The vehicle in question was standing before the door of the hotel, and the horse was fastened to an iron hitching post. As we approached the spot from one side Kelvin and Thorndyke came up from the other, so that it seemed likely that there would be a rather interesting encounter before the door of the hotel. Gillespie remained poised upon the step, and ass we came near Donald bowed to him. "Aha, the wonder-boy!" said Gillespie. "What sort of weather are we going to have next Christmas?" "The weather is fine today." replied Donald, pausing. "Be content, with that." Gillespie turned to me. "I've got some interesting facts for you, Mr. Harrington," said he. "They won't please jour young friend there very much. "I would suggest that this is hardly the place to disclose them." said I. "No." he answered, "and I'm not quite ready yet." "That was t he trouble with you the other day," said I injudiciously. "Y'ou fired off the gun before it was loaded." It is a fault of mine that I am always impatient with a drunken man. Nothing else makes me so angry as foolishness, and at the head of all follies stands inebriation. On this occasion Gillespie was seized with the sudden and absurd anger which often marks a certain stage of intoxication. "If you want me to talk right here," said he, "I'll show the whole business up. I'm dead on to this boy. I can tell you the whole game from A to Z." . (To be Continued.)
