CHAPTER IX * The Doctor Makes a Discovery. When, after a drink of hot w:.;.r and a good rubbing, Shad ceased t<» shiver arid was lying comfortably in bed Colonel Dlake went to the sheriff s room. Algyre. tn the colonel's dry clothing, whs sitting by the bed. his feet shackled. He was In a bitter mood lie greeted the district attorney with foul and profane words. ‘‘■l'ou't be nasty just because you've been outwitted.” said Blake, “I'm goIng to treat you well as long as you're in my hands.” ■■ Algyre shouted angrily : “I'd rather be in h—l than spend another id:ty among the God <]—d hicks In this part o' the eoiintry." i “Well sir. exery' one In your Urie of busji. ss feels the same way about it.” Blake answered with a sittile of good nature, ’lf a mnn has anything ».<>n him It's about ttie most dangerous part of God's earth to be in? There was a moment ftf silence. The colonel went on: ("I happen to know that you’re tin aide chap. You oughtn't to be living the life of a fugit live. The best thing you can do is to clean your slate. Begin by telling what you know about the killing of Oscar Perry If you'll <h> that I'll-do what I can for you here and else where.” The answer of the unfortunate man wAs rather decisive. “Go to. h—l “he Auld. “I know noth Ing abont the Perry murder.'' The district attorney gave up. knowing that tm (wogress could be made while the criminal was In his present frame of mind. , The yacht had arrived at her dock In Ogdensburg. The party spent th' remainder of the night aboard Nev; day Shad, the colonel and the sheriff took the train to Canton with their, prisoner whose resentment hud not 1 abated. He was still sullen and abu she. That day Shad returned with more provisions to the little house at Brown's cove. "I knew you’d be a cornin'.” Bumpy shoute<l. "This tnornin' I see a, white swan In the sky. It means that h friend is cornin'. By Jeedlx 1 I've got suthln' good fer yer dinner an' don't you d*>ubt It. The day you ,eft,l stmt a wild goose on«>the marsh below here. I've been keepiu’ him lies in prime shape.” “Keep him til! totno;row s " Shad Stig gested. "It’ll be Sun fay. I’ll go up and git Bony to come down. ’ T'.vac'ly Bumpy exclaimed. “That's the caper. We dotil really need that goose. You've brought some beef steak.” They had.much to talk about. Shad told of his great adventure while they were at the table. “By .!<•• x! You ought to have fit at Gettysburg " said Bumpy “I ye would if you'd 'a' been born an' was old enough." ' -TTlcs place beats the world for good eating," Shad remarked, as he took unoiii. r helping of the grilled steak. \\ hen they had washed and put away the dishes Bumpy said: "If you're goln’ to be a lawyer you've got to study. Pdon't want to hear another word from you till night. I've got some wood to cut and 111 git out o yer way." That afternoon, sitting comfortably by a window in warm room. Shad began the reading of Blackstone's “Commentaries.” The colonel had let him take the first volume of the famous classic with the notion that it was like hitching a goaf to a plow. ■ “It will be. Interesting to see what he says about It." be remarked as he took the first volume from Its case. •*I wonder If the lad wHI surprise me •gain. I rather think that this will stump him.” ‘ * Shad was a courageous goat. When the light began to fade Bumpy came in. "How be ye gittin' along?” the old man asked. "Good, but there’s'aome words here that are not In toy dictionary. What does 'contravention* mean?" "I don't Just exac'ly know," Bumpy answered as .he put some wood on the fire. "I guess it has snthln' to do with politics. It's Ukb a snag in the river. When I run on to one I push my boat off an’ back up r. little an’ go 'ronnd It.” “I’ve put down a Hat o’ words that I’ve got to know about. I’ll go up to the Dam early in the morning and see the doctor.’ He’ll explain ’em to me. ’ Shad lighted the reeding lamp, tie found the story in which he and Bumpy had become Interested and said: “Let's see what Pip and old Joe are doing." •By Jeedtx! You wait till I draw my boot an’ loosen my belt an* git my pipe HL I want to be good an’ ready.” He drew his boot and lighted his pipe with a sliver at the stove hearth and hauled his armchair near the table, saying: “Now let 'er go." Shad began reading. Meanwhile the parrot stood holding his head down near the bars, of his cage on the win-dow-sill and saying In a low gentle voice: “Hello, darling. Bello,Are you happy? Praise the Lord I" It was as if some unseen hand were petting him. Shad paused a moment, up at the bird with n smile of amusemenL Turns, ain’t ItF said Bumpy. ••Betsy Brown to there rabbin to* fee«d

just as site used to. He sees her plain. He can feel her hand. I guess parrots' eyes can see things that we can't." "Do you mean that her ghost Is here?'' Shad asked with a tingle tn his nerves. “I don’t call it that. It's a kinrt’of mean word, h ain't friendly. I'd say angel was the word. Don’t mind it. Go on with yer rvadln's. She'll enjoy It as much as I do " Soon they were both absorbed in the moving tale and’smiling <,r laughing at Ils quaint humor, for more than two hours they sat entranced In that’magic World of the great storyteller. The dock stnek seven. The boy closed the book. “I'm tired arid hungry." hesald “Let's have a little snack of cold rlctunls." “I could smash the clo<k." said Bumpy "1 didn't know book readin' could grab hold o’ ye an' hang or. so. Come to think of it. I'm hungry too." Bumpy brought a snack of cold meat, doughnuts and cheese and & pitcher of eider fr«m his keg In the cellar under the floor. They finished lheir snack and read on until bedtime. Bumpy as usual put heavy sticks on the fire, turned the damper, covered his bird with a shawl .nd bung the cage on a hook fastened to one <>f life <-ross Iwams. As Bumpy got into bed yawning the boy heard nlm saying to himself, . "And there lay round upon the ground great heaps of so "gers.” Always he was up before daylight in the morning, when he lighted his la’ s >’> started his fire, washed, and misted the furniture and swept Hie flour. When he shook Shad's shoulder in he morning the grateful odor of coffee and buckwheat cakes and frying sauwas in thy air. “Come. o|’ friend.” he called. “It's the next day. Breakfast is ready an' I warn ye it’s flf fer kings an' queens." Shad needed no urging. He leaped out of bed and dressed in a hurry and washed at the river's edge. “Hurry up an' comb yer hair,” Bumpy sputtered as he brought the hot platters to flie table. “It looks as If a mouse had made a nest In it." The boy had a great liking for hot cakes and maple sirup and snusnge. | Bunqiy seemed to find a sufficient re- I ward for his work in Shad's enjoy j ment. He kept an eye on him In the ' fashion of an Interested witness, "Don’t spill so much sirup on em." he Was 'wont to say. “By .leedixl You make 'em look like an .island in a red |H>nd. There ain't no sense in that. You don’t take tnore'n two swnller a s fer a flui'Juck. Anybody would think ye was mad at 'em." Bumpy's sputtering had a back ground of good nature. Shad enjoyexl It. After brenkfust he brought tn two pails of water and tilled the Woodbox Soon after seven o'clock tie set. out for Amity Dam with a volume of Blackstone under his arm. t “Be on baud foi dinner u jeetle be- ' fore two.” Bumpy called to him from the door, , Having arrived In the familiar village. Shadwent at once to the house of tiis friend the. doctor. The latter was reading In his office. . , s “1 am gtad.to see you, boy.” he said < without rising. “Sit down and tell me I . what has happened;* - | Shad told the doctor of the steps that led to the capture of Algyre and j of the prisoner’s; sullen attitude, j "Weil done!" the doctor exejaimed i with no change in the expression of his face. “It will yield no immediate result but “ft is a long step toward the truth. Soon or late the man may uncover it. He is a smart fellow. He . knows that Blake has not evidence i enotigb to hold him. We have as yet Only a suspicion. Even if he became • witness for the people, he could not escape life imprisonment or a long term for a crime so atrocious. He is a born gambler. He would rather take his chances in the West But If they have a good case against him and he should be convicted we may expect help from him. We may not have long to uast. Meanwhife. qjy dear boy. you Will, of course, gel a share of the -reward.” "I haven't thought of that. I wouldn't know what to do with It," Shad answered,. L "But you .would know what to do with an education.” Tm getting educated. I’m learning something every day. I'd rather the reward would go to you and Colonel' Blake." The doctor smiled and said: “Well, boy. If I am' entitled to any of It, which I question. It shall be yours. There to anotbef matter of which I ’ would speak. You are to mention it only to Colonel Blake Be careful that no one overhears you. I recall your telling me once of the handsome young lady who worked in the store in South Bolton. You had seen her one day at Bumpy Brown's shack. I < went to call on ’a patient in that vilI lage about ten days ago. I heard some gossip about her. it- was interesting but unkind. 1 went to the store. The girl was there alone. The took of her confirmed the gossip, it grieved me to see a beeuti fu) girl friendless and In fair condition. I talked with her a little. She didn't seem to know what was the matter. It was a sad cqae. 1 gave her my telephone number and told her that When i she needed help I would come “Familiar as I am with the process.

I always feel when I help to deliver a child as If I had had a humble part in a miracle The girl went to a tone ly settlement away back in the woods. There she got the help of a midwife. The child was born. Something went wrong. She began to fail and asked them to send for me. I went and found her in a critical condition. She will probably die. Some rotten hearted man who hns no share In her trouble has brought her to that pass. “1 am not preaching to you. my boy. 1 tell you these things only because I suspect that the girl has some connection, with our case. Hohert Boyce took her to the house of the midwife. He was often seen with her. Now, Royce Is the heir of Mrs. Doolittle. The theory has wine to my friend. Judge Swift, that Mrs. Doolittle did not like the girl; that she had threatened to disinherit the ybun4 man If he married her. Therein Is a double motive for getting rid of his mother." Shad shilled, saying: “I feel sure th'at Ih'yve Is rhe man And 1 think that Colonel Blake does." “I do not fes sure, nithough there Is much to Indicate it." tl.e doctor went on. “I know* Royce well. I WduM say that he is not the type of man we are seeking. Still it Is easy to he deceived." Shad/showed the volume hp had been stiKlyinc to the .doctor ahd the queries In his notelamk. The iparned man anaweced them, and said: “The time has come when yop no»»d a dictionary 1 will vol mine. I will have my man bring it to you at Brown s cove."? - k He looked through many pages of the “CoinnhUifaries" anil noted down the meaning of the unusual woHld and Latin irfirases.' lie gave the hoy » hook entitled "The Youth's History of England.” and recommvmled that he n 4 ad it carefully before continuing his study of Blackstone. The doctor arose. His horse and backboard were at the door. J “1 must be going," he said. “Please go and see Miss Spenlow. She has a deep interest in you.” The doctor set out on his rounds and Shad went to the boarding he use. (TO BE CONTIXI.’ED.) A MAIL TIPPECANOE ? J. L.
