ALDSON. JR

Copyright, IC03, by Charles W. Hooke (Continued.) CHAPTER XVII. DON ALU'S DISCLAIMER. THE room was now empty except for Thorndyke. Bunn. Donaldson and myself. Archer's outburst had not been understood except by the members of our group, and so the other men who had been present at the meeting had escaped as soon as possible into the cooler air outside. "Bunn," said I, "tell me the straight truth." "I took the money," he replied. "I was hard pressed with that land company deal and other matters." "In heaven's 'name," cried Donaldson, "why didn't you hold on with the land company, as I told you? We've turned the corner with it in these last few days. The company is more than all right." "My luck." said Bunn. "I thought that there was no way out; that I was ruined. Yet I hoped with that money to make myself whole. I meant to return it fe!t sure that I could. You know how I got it. I saw the parcel of bills on your desk and made a dummy to take its place, which you put in the safe. I hid the money. You know that row of box letter files? I put it in the oldest one. There was no chance that it would be discovered. But it was. Some one got it; stole it from me; robbed, the robber. Meanwhile I'd used "i took Vic money" he replied. about S.'.OOO. I'd got out of the land scheme. I seemed to be in better shape. I felt that I could restore this money and that nobody would ever know. Then, suddenly, it was gone. Do you wonder that I went crazy?" "Who took it?" I demanded. "I only know what Donald says," replied Bunn. "But I don't see how there could be better evidence than his. He knows everything. He has told me the inm- st thoughts of my heart. He says that Archer took the money from my hiding place." "Well, there can't be much doubt about it," said I. "One day in your office at noon Archer accused me of being the thief," continued Bunn. "That was just after Gillespie came here as Professor Severn. He was in Archer's pay as a detective. I suppose that he found the money. When Archer accused me, I did not know that it was not still in the letter file. You can understand what I felt who-ri this charge was brought against me. It meant it meant just what he aanl two minutes ago; that I'd die in a cage like a rat. Yet when he told me what he wanted me to do; that I must redeem my stock from you and vote it against you at this meeting. I declared to him that 1 would take my punishment before I would do such a thing. I said that I would return what was left of the money and raise the balance somehow to make all square with you. "'All right,' said he, 'but do it now, or I'll expose you.' "Y'ou, Mr. Harrington, were standing outside the office at that moment. I made my choice and went to get the money. It was gone. I accused Archer of taking it, but he denied the charge In such a way as to convince me that he hadn't done St. I believed that some thief had found it. I suspected Tim Ilealy everybody. Archer promised to help me recover it. lie had me in his power, for what could I do without ttmoney? "More and more this man got me under his thumb until I half agreed that if the money could be found I would allow it to be thrust upon Donaldson. I had known all along that Archer was plotting against him. Carl used to walk the floor in your office at noon and say over and over again: 'Donaldeon, Donaldson! I'll have him under my foot!' He used to do this even before my crime. I overheard him once as long ago as the early spring. I had opened the door suddenly when his back was toward it." "Why didn't you tell me. Jim?" said I. "Tell you?" he echoed. "Would you have believed it?" ...

By HOWARD FIELDING I was silent. Therein had lain the weakness of the case both for Bunn and for Donald. They knew that I would not be convinced of Carl's real character. "Archer told me that Kelvin would furnish any amount of money that might be required," continued Bunn. "Kelvin was to know nothing about any robbery. It was merely that the money was needed. Now, what was I to do, Mr. Harrington? I never would agree to vote my stock against you. Not even the threat of prison could make me do that. But I did at last agree to absent myself from the meeting. If you want to know just what I really meant to do," he cried, rising and seizing me by the shoulder, "I meant to go to New York and kill myself in a hotel there, where no one would know me. But I had their pledge that the money which I had taken from you should be refu;i!cd." "Considering that they h.-ul $r5.".000 of it already." said Donaldson, "it wasn't much of a price to pay f jr the control of the branch road, with my disgrace and ruin thrown into the bargain. They probably relied on Gillespie to manage that." "I will tell you how they relied on him." said I. "and how they failed to count up i! Donald: but, Jim, what changed this crazy plan of yours?" Bunn shiv.hlered. "More and more." said he. "throughout all these terrible days I have come to fear Donald. I had no faith in him at first, but that night at Kelvin's I saw my own fate in it. Well, let me finish. Last evening I went quietly across to Solway to take the train for New York. No man can know what misery I endured. A traitor to my best friend, a ruined man, a suicide at my age, unable to bear the weight of the year or two that would be granted me at the best! I was insane, truly insane. I walked across to Solway. and as I stepped up on the platform of the railroad station there I came face to face with Donald. " 'Ah. Mr. Bunn,' said he, I was waiting fi.r you.' "I would have fallen if Le hadn't caught me in his arms. He iified me into a wagon, and wl;cn I got my senses I found that Isaac Thorndyke was there. We rode slowly back to Tunhridge. and upon the way Donald told me everything that had happened to me in these dreadful weeks. He told me what I had said to Archer and what Archer had said to me in our most private convert:-. t'ons. He knew my crime- ar.d" :::y 'ci:; pi a Lions and my sufferings as they are known in heaven. Do you think it's any wonder that not only I, who was at his mercy, but Thorndyke also, who was merely a spectator, agreed t do precisely as Donald directed? 1 was hidden in Thorndyke's house, and Donald drove me over here this morning. We were hidden across the street. Thorndyke signaled to us from the window when I should come over." "So far as my part of it is concerned," said Thorndyke. "this is all strictly true. Of course I could have no part with Kelvin when such business as this was doing." And he entered into a weak explanation and justification of his previous conduct. He was interrupted by a sound of confusion outside. We ran into the hall and saw men looking from the window down into the street. As we went toward them Donald came flying up the stairs. "l.'ucie." lie cried, taking my arm in a grip that nearly broke it, "don't you believe this! Don't you believe it! Father, tell him that I had no knowledge of it. I didn't mean that the man would die!" "Not Gillespie?" I cried. "Yes," answered Donald, with white lips. "He's dead. He's been sitting in his wagon before the door here for hours stone dead, and no one suspected it. He was there by agreement with Archer to stop Jim Bunn in case he should not keep his word in case he should not stay away from this meeting, as be had promised." "Dead!" I exclaimed. "It's heart disease." said Donald. "Uncle, j-ou won't believe that I knew it? I have no such powers. I am a fraud an absolute fraud and when I told Gillespie to denounce me yesterday because today would be too late I meant that I should confess everything openly today, and I'm going to do it. I have merely been playing tricks." "You're excited, Dou ild," said his father, trying to soothe him. "This man's death should not affect you so. You are In no way responsible for it." We made our way to the street. Gillespie's body had been taken into a store, and the doctor who had pronounced him dead was just coming out again. "The fellow had a weak heart," said he in answer to my question. "The blow which he got by falling against that hitching post weakened it still more, and liquor combined with the heat of this noon finished him. There's nothing unusual in the case." "Isn't there, eh?" said u voice behind me. I turned and saw Kelvin, who raised his right hand and shook a finger at Donald.

I've got no cause to take sides with you," he said, "but one thing I'm willing to admit : You are a wonder, a wonderl That's what you are." "Mr. Kelvin," cried Donald in a voice of agony, "I have confessed" "Confess all you want to," answered Kelvin. "I heard , what you said to that man. and I know what has happened to him. That's enough for mo." ."But don't you see," exclaimed Donald, "a coincidence was bound to come. It was certain. I couldn't go on in the way I was going without having something of this kind happen sooner or later. I never meant that he would die." . Kelvin was turning away, but Donald sprang after him and caught his arm. "Let me tell you," he pleaded. "The diamonds! I knew where they were. Some one told me. Some one in your house heard a noise in the night and looked out of the window. And there was Cobb digging a hole in the ground. It was dark, but she knew him by his extraordinary shape. Of course she had no idea what he was doing it for, but when the diamonds were missed she understood. Meanwhile she'd mentioned the incident to me. I'd confided in her days before. I had told her. that I knew there was a plot against uiy father and that Archer was in it, but Mr. Harrington would never believe the truth unless some awfully queer thing was done to impress him. Well, she agreed to help me. She saw In the Cobb affair a chance for me to shine. She'd mentioned the incident to me In the morning before the diamonds were missed. She knew that 1 would know what it meant. So when Mrs. Kelvin insisted upon coming over to see me Amy chimed In with her. And you can understand the rest." "This may all be true," answered Kelvin, "but it doesn't change my opinion in the least." "When Cobb was let out of jail," continued Donald eagerly, "he went straight to your house and climbed in through the library window. You caught him taking down some books. What was the absolutely certain inference? Why. that the deed was in that room and somewhere near those books. Cobb had found it weeks ago and had left it there because he could not think of a safer place. I told Amy. and she smuggled me into the library. We found the hiding place, with the deed and other documents In It. We took them all out. Of course it was certain that Cobb, having been prevented by you from getting the deed, would elude Reedy and return. "Joe Harvey, as we all understood, was in this plot to blackmail you by making a pretense of producing an heir of Walmsley and then selling you the deed. He had put up the bail for Cobb. When Cobb escaped from U"edy that evening, he got into your library and found that the deed was gone. What could he do? Tell Harvey and go back to jail? Not at all. lie skipped, just as any other rascal would have done. Then I went and bought a skeleton hand of a young doctor over in Solway, and, with the aid of that old se.tr on the table, I fixed up my story." Kelvin sawed the air with his finger. "That doesn't explain the finish of Mr. Gillespie," said he. "But don't you see." cried Donald in agony. "Nothing can explain that. It's luck. luck. It's mere chance. It was certain to come some time. I was playing with fire." "You play with it too blasted well to suit me," said Kelvin, with decision. "Now, Mr. Harrington." he continued, "you understand that I didn't know anything about Jim Bunn except that there was a string on him and that a little money would keep him away from this meeting. 1 knew nothing about the robbery. Thai's Hat. I'm not oversqueamish. but I don't make partnerships with thieves. In the first place, it is not safe." "I'll take your word for it. Mr. Kelvin," said I. 1 (To be Continued.)
