HE room was now empty ex cept for Thorndyke, Bunn, Donaldson and myself. Arch er's Outburst had not been un lerstood except by the members of our roup, and so the other men who had een present at the meeting had escap d as soon as possible into the cooler ir outside. "Bunn," said I, "tell me the straight ruth." "I took the money," he replied. "I vas hard pressed with that land com anry deal and other matters." "In heaven's name," cried Donald on, "why didn't you hold on with the and company, as I told fou? We've urned the corner with it in these last ew days. The company is more than 11 right." "My luck," said Bunn. "I thought hat there was no way out; that I was uined. Yet I hoped with that money o make myself whole. I meant to eturn it-felt sure that I could. You now how I got it. I saw the parcel of ills on your desk and made a dummy o take its place, which you put in the afe. I bid the money. You know that ow of box letter files? I put it In the dest one. There was no chance that : would be discovered. But it was. ome one got it; stole it from me; rob ed the robber. Meanwhile I'd used 11z t t c 1.: f t "I took the money," he replied. bout $5,000. I'd got out of the land heme. I seemed to be in better shape. felt that I could restore this money nd that nobody would ever know. hen, suddenly, it was gone. Do you onder that I went crazy?" "Who took it?" I demanded. "I only know what Donald says," re- ? lied Bunn. "But I don't see how there uld be better evidence than his. He nows everything. He has told me the t imost thoughts of my heart. He says at Archer took the money from my ding place." "Well, there can't be much doubt bout it," said I. "One day in your office at noon Arch accused me of being the thief," con- I nued Bunn. "That was just after< ~illespie came here as Professor Sev- I n. He was In Archer's pay as a de ctive. I suppose that he found the I oney. When Archer accused me, IE id not know. that it was not still in the 2 etter file. You can understand what I lt when this charge was brought .gainst me. It meant-it meant just I hat he said two minutes ago; that I'd I ie in acagelke arat. Yet when hei old me wthat he .wanted me to do; that mist redeem my stock from you and I ote It against you at this meeting, I 2 Leclared to him that I wou.ld take my unishment before I would do such a I ing. I said that I would return what as left of the money and raise the I alance somehow to make al! square I ith you. "'All right,' said he, 'but do it now,3 I'll expose you.' "You, Mr. Harrington, were standing ' iutside the office at tha: moment. I nde my choice and went to get theC noney. It was gone. I accused Archer if taking it, but he denied the charge I such a way as to convince me that I e hadn't done it. I believed that someI hief had found it. I suspected Tim ealy-everybody. Archer promised to I ielp me recover it. He had me in his )ower, for what could I do without the noney?1 "More and more this man got me un ler his thumb until I half agreed that f the money could be found I would llow it to be thrust upon Donaldson. had known all along that Archer was lotting against him. Carl used to 'alk the floor in your office at noon .d say over and over again: 'Donald ;on, Donaldsoa! I'll have him under y foot:' He used to do this even be ore my crime. I overheard him once is long ago as the early spring. I had ~pned the door suddenly when .his ack was toward it." "Why didn't you tell me, Jim?" said I. "Tell you?" he echoed. "Would .you ae believed it?" I was silent. Therein had lain the r'eakness of the case both for Bunn nd for Donald. They knew that I 'ould not be convinced of Carl's real ~harac ter. "Archer told me that Kelvin would ~urnish any amount of money that ight be required," continued Bunn. Kelvin was~ to krnow nothing about ny robbery. It was merely that the n'y was needed. Now, what was I o 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 meet ing. 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 my self in a hotel there, where no one would know me. But I had their pledge that the mroney which I had taken from you shculd be refunded." "Considering that they had $35,000 of t already," said Donaldson, "it swasn't much of a price to pay for the ontrol of the branch road, with my disgrace and ruin thrown into the bar ;ain. They probably relied on Gilles pie to manage that." "I will tell you how they relied on a True Record and Explanation of the Seven steries Now Associated With ls Name ti the Public M d, and of an Eighth, Wlch Is the Key of the Seven ON, JR. By [HOWARD FHDING ount- upo-n D16nald; D-ut, Jim, wbt -hanged this crazy plan of yours?" Bunn shuddered. "More and more," said he, "through ut all these terrible days I have come :o fear Donald. I had no faith in him tt first, but that night at Kelvin's I aw my own fate in it. Well, let me inish. Last evening I went quietly teross to Solway to take the train for sew York. No man can know what nisery I endured. A traitor to my )cst friend, a ruined man, a suicide at ny age, unable to bear the weight of he year or two that would be granted ne at the best! I was insane, truly nsane. I walked across to Solway, Lnd as I stepped up on the platform >f the raiLroad station there I came ace to face with Donald. "'Ah, Mr. Buna,' said he, 'I was vaiting for you.' "I would have fallen if he hadn't aught me in his arms. He lifted me nto a wagon, and when I got my enses I found that Isaac Thorndyke as there. We rode slowly back to unbridge, and upon the way Donald old me everything that had happened o me in these dreadful wee%:s. He old me what I had said to Archer and rhat Archer had ~said to me in our nost private conversations. He knew y crime and my temptations and my ufferings as they are known in heav n. Do you think 'it's any wonder that Lot only I, who was at his mercy, ut Thorndyke also, who was merely spectator, agreed to do precisely as )onald directed? I was hidden in horndyke's house, and Donald drove e over here this morning. We were dden across the street Thorndyke gnaled to us from the window when should come over." "So far as my part of it is concern d," said Thorndyke, "this is all strict y true. Of course I could have no part ith Kelvin when such business as his was doing." And he entered into a weak explana ion and justification of his previous onduct. He was interrupted by a ound of confusion outside. We ran to the hall and saw men looking rom the window down into the street. Ls we went toward them Donald came lying up the stairs. "Uncle," he cried, taking my arm in .grip that nearly broke it, "don't you eleve tills! Don't you believe it! Fa her, tell him that I had no knowledge f it. I didn't mean that the man rould die!" "Not Gillespie?" I cried. "Yes," answered Donald, with white ps. "He's dead. He's been sitting in is wagon before the doer here for ours stone dead, and no one suspected t. He was there by agreement with trher to stop Jim Bunn in case he hould not keep his word-in case he hould not stay away from this meet ag, as he had promised." "Dead!" I exclaimed. "It's heart disease," said Donald. Uncle, you won't believe that I knew t? I have no such powers. I am a raud-an absolute fraud--and when I old Gillespie to denounce me yester .ay because today would be too late I :eant that I should confess everything penly today, and I'ma going to do it. I ave merely been playing tticks." "You're excited, Donald," said his fa her, trying to soothe him. "This man's Lath should not affect you so. You are n no way responsible for it." We made our way to the street Gil spie's body had been taken into a tore, and the doctor whio had pro Lounced him dead was just coming out igain. "The fellow had a weak heart," said ie in answer to my question. "The >low which he got by falling against hat hitching post weakened it still nore, and liquor combined with the Leat of this noon finished him. There's Lothing unusual in the case." "Isn't there, oh?" said a voice behind I turned and saw Kelvin, who raised ts right hand and shook a finger at )onald. "I've got no cause to take sides with ou," he said, "but one thing I'm will ig to admit: You are a wonder, a -onder! That's what you are." "Mr. Kelvin," cried Donald in a voice f agony, "I have confessed" "Confess all you want to," answered elvin. "I heard what you said to hat man, and I know what has hap ened to him. That's enough for me." "But don't you see," exclaimed Don id, "a coincidence was bound to come. .t was certain. I couldn't go oa In the vay I was going without having some. hing of this kind happen sooner or lat. r. I never meant that. he would die." Kelvin was turning away, but Donald ~prang after him and caught his arm. "Let me toll you," he pleaded. "The liamonds! I knew where they were. some one told me. Some one in your iouse hoard a noise In the night and ooked out of the window. And there vas Cobb digging a hole in the ground. t was dark, but she knew him by his xtraordinary shape. Of course she ad no idea what he was doing it for, )ut when the dinnmonds were missed he understood. Meanwhile she'd men loned the incident to me. I'd confided n her days before. I had told her that knew there was a plot against my lather and that Archer was in it, but ir. Harrington would never believe be truth unless some awfully queer ;hng was done to impress him. Well, ;he agreed to help me. She saw in the lobb affair a chance for me to shine. she'd mentioned the incident to me in :he morning before the diamonds were nissed. She knew that I would know~ .vhat it meant So when Mrs. Kelvin nsisted upon coming over to see me Amy chimed in with her. And you can anderstand the rest." "This may all be true," answered elvin, "but it doesn't change my pinion in the least" "When Cobb was let out of jail," ontinued Donald eagerly, "he went traight to your house and climbed in through the library window. You caught him taking down some books. What was the absolutely certain in~ erence? 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 nt 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 Lt was certain that Cobb, having been prevented by you from getting the deed woul eludeaedy and return. "Je- Harvey; -us wuerlr ift-erslood, .was in this plot to blackmail you by making a pretense of producing an i heir of Walmsley and then selling you the deed. He had put up the bail for Cobb. When Cobb escaped from Ree dy that evening, he got into your libra ry and found that the deed was gone. What could he do? Tell Harvey and go back to jail? Not at all. He skip ped, 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 scar on the table, I fixed up my story." Kelvin sawed the air with his fin ger. "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," sa4d 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. I knew nothing about the robbery. That's flat. I'm not oversqueamish, but I don't make part nerships with thieves. In the first place, It is not safe." "I'll take your word for it, Mr. Kel vin." said I. [To nE coTIuED.1 ECCENTRIC METHODS. Why Alexandre Dumas Did Not Suc ceed as a Publisher. The Mousquetaire, a Parisian jour nal founded by Alexandre Dumas, grew and flourished for a short time and then became extinct. It was car ried on during a brilliant existence with an astonishing disregard of busi ness methods commonly in vogue. Its staff was the largest and most varied ever known. Persons would walk into the office, propose working for the pa per and find themselves at once ac cepted. "What will you allow me?" a new man would ask. "Whatever you like, my boy," Du- 1 mas would return. "By the way," he would explain to every new aspirant, "we must understand one thing: I mean you to be handsomely paid. You must have 1,000 francs a month, and if you should want a month's pay in advance now, don't scruple to ask for it."1 Everybody was dazzled, and Dumas I himself more than all the rest. No I business enterprise, however, could ex ist on such a basis, and the journal be gan to languish. Then a man named Boule proposed taking the speculation out of Dumas' hands. He offered the great man 100 francs a day, which meant more than $7,000 a year. "Here," said Boule, is a checkbook full of those little tinted leaves you are 1 so fond of. Every morning you have only to write your name at the foot of one, send it into the office and touch your 100 francs. Iimas loved money, and his face beamed with delight. "But suppose." said he, "that some day I should want 300 or 400 francs?" '"Well, all you have to do is to send in three or four of your checks. Noth ing is more simple." The book lay on the author's desk, a delightful and ready resource. Did a creditor call? A slip of paper, and he was paid. A poor woman was about to be turned out into the street. A few wore slips, and she was relieved. At the end of the week nothing was left4 of the book but the cover. Then B3oule changed his mode of procedure. Youth's Companion. A straight Tip.

Then she'll be your sister same as she was mine. But, I say, don't you do anything she doesn't like, for, if you do, she'll bang you about awfully when your mamma and papa ain't looking.
