Into the hall to the ~head of the stairs,
where he looked down and listened.
From here the sound of some one moving
about came to him distinctly; he
could see no light below, hut when he
ran down to the turn of the stairs It
became plain that there was a ve
dim and flickering light In the library.
He crept on farther down the staircase.
His hands were cold and moist
from his excitement, nnd his body was
hot nnd trembling.
Whoever It was that was moving
about downstairs, even If he was not
one who had a right to he there, at
lenst felt secure from Interruption.
He was going with heavy step from
window to window; where he found a
shade np, he pulled It down brusquely
and with a violence which suggested
great strength under a nervous strain;
a shade, which had been pulled down,
flew up, and the man damned It as
though It had startled him; then, after
an Instant, he pulled It down agnln.
Alan crept still farther down and at
last caught sight of him. He was a
big, young-looking man, with broad
shoulders and very evident vigor;
Alan guessed his age at thlrty-flve; lie
was handsome?he had a straight
forehead over daring, deep-set eyes;
his nose, lips nnd chin were powerfully
formed; and he was expensively
nnd very carefully dressed. The light
by which Alan saw these things cnnio
from a flat' little pocket searchlight
that the man carried In one hand,
which threw n little brilliant circle of
light as he directed It; and now. as
the light chanced to fall on his other
hand?powerful nnd heavily muscled
?Alan recollected the look nnd sl?o
of the finger prints on the chest of
drawers upstairs. He did not doubt
that this was the same man who had
gone through the desk; but since he
bod already rilled the desks, what did
he want here now? As the man num-d
out of sight, Alan crept on down as
far as the door to the Horary; fhe
man had gone on Into the rear room,
nnd Alan went far enough Into the
library so be could see him.
He had pulled open one of the drawers
In the big table In the rear room
and with his light held so high as to
show what was In It, he was tumbling
over Its contents and examining tliem.
He went through one after another of
the drawers of the table.,,like (his;
after examining them, he rose nnd
kicked the last one shut disgustedly;
he stood looking about the room qucs(lonlngly,
then he stnrted toward the
front room.
He had, as yet, neither seen nor
heard anything to nlnrin him, and as
he went to the desk In the front room
and peered iinpntlontly Into the drawers,
he slammed them shut, one after
another. He straightened and stared
ahout. "P?n Ren ! D?n Ren !'' he
e.1neulnted violently and returned to
the rear room. Alan, again following
him. found him on his knees In front
of one of the drawers under the hookeases.

through the drawers, his Irritation heVeek

attention:' he liepnn rending it closely,
then snapped It hack into the drawer.
crammed the rest on top of it, ami
went op ro the next of the files. II
searched in this tnanner through half
dorep drawers, plainly llndlnp notl?
Inp at fill he wonted: he dragged souk
of the hooks from I heir eases, tilt b?
hind them and shoved hack seme of
the hooks but dropped others on the
floor and blasphemy hurst from him.
The beam of light from tin* loreli i:i
his hand swayed aside r.nd liaok and 1
fortli. Without warning. sinldenlj/ It
caupht Alan as he stood in (he dark
! of the front room; ami as the din.
white cirele of llphl pleanieil Into A' i
nn's face, the man looked that way j
and saw hint.
The effect of this upon the man was
so stranpe and so bewildering to Alan
i that Alan could only stare at hlni.
The hip man seemed to shrink into
himself and to shrink hack and away
from Alan. He roared out something
In a bellow thick with fear and horror;
he seemed to choke with terror,
i There was nothing In his look akin to
mere surprise or alarm at realizing
that another was there and had been
seeing and overhearing hlni. The
light which he still gripped swayed
back and forth and showed htm Alan
again, and he raised his arm before
his face as he recoiled.
The consternation of the man was
so complete that It checked Alan's nisi
toward him ; he halted, then advanced
silently and watchfully. As lie wen*
forward, and the light shone upon his
face again, the big man cried out
honrsely:
"D?n you, d?n you, with the hole
above your eye! The bullet got you!
And now you've got Bon! But you
can't get me! Oo back to hell! You
can't get me! I'll get you?I'll get
you! You?can't Rave the Mlwaka !"
He drew back hi* arm and with all
his might hurled the flashlight at
Alan. It missed and crashed somewhere
behind him, but did not go out;
the beam of light shot back and wavered
and flickered over both of them
as the torch rolled on the floor. Alan
rushed forward and, thrusting through
the dark, his hand struck the man's
chest and seized his coat.
The man caught at and seized Alan's
arm; he seemed to feel of It and
assure himself of Its renll'y.
"Flesh! Flesh!" he roared In r?v
lief; and his big arms grappled Alan.
As they struggled, they stumbled and
fell to the floor, the big man underneath.
His hnnd shifted Its hold and
caught Alan's throat; Alan got an nnn
free and, with all bis force, struck the
man's face. The man struck back?
a heavy blow on the side of Alnn's
head which dizzied him hut left him
strength to strike again, and his
knuckles reached the man's face once
more, but he got another heavy blow
in rcium, i ne mini iviis grappling
no longer; ho swung Alan to one side
nnd off of him, nnd rollod himself
nwny. Ho sernmhlod to his foot nnd
dashed out through the library, noro- s
tho hnll, nnd into tlio service- mom.
Alnn got to his foe*; dizzied nhd not
yet fnmlllnr with tho house, ho hlundorod
ngnlnst n well nnd Imd to fool
his wny nlong It to tho sorvloo room;
ns ho sllppod nnd stunihled down Iho
stairway, n door elosod loudly nt iho
ond of tho oorrldor ho lied soon nl '
tho foot of tho stnlrs. Mo ran along
tho corridor to tlio door; It had closed
with n spring look, nnd seconds passed j
while ho felt In tho dark for the catch:
ho found It nnd torp the door open,
nnd emiio out suddenly Into tho cold
nlr of tho nlglit In n paved passageway
beside the house which led In one
direction to the street nnd in the
other to n gnte opening on the alley.
He ran forward to the street and
looked up nnd down, hut found It empty;
then he rnn hark to the alley. At
the end <ft. the alley, where It Intersected
the cross street, the figure of
the man running away appeared suddenly
out of the shadows, then disappeared
; Alan, following an far *an
the street, could see nothing more ef
him; this street too was empty.

probably had been pnle before wltli

there was n round Mack mark. Alan
looked down at Ms hands; a ll'tle
si.In wns ort one; knuckle, where h?
had struck the innn. and his finger*
were smudged with n black and sotty
dust. He had smudged them on the
pupsrs r.|>stalrs oi* else In feeling Ida
way about the dark house, and nt
oine lime he had touched his forehead
and left the black mark. That '
had been the "bullet holt.**
The i*es*. that the man had ??ld had
been a reference to some name; Alan
had no trouble to recollect the name,
and, while he did not understand lfc.
at all, It stirred him queerly?"the Mlwaka."
What was that? The queer
excitement, and questioning that the
name brought, when he repented It
to himself, wns not recollection; for
he could not recall ever having heard
the name before; but It was not com- .
pletely strange to him. He could define
the excitement It stirred only In
that way.
Slierrlll hadsbelieved that here In
this house Renjainln Corvet had left?
or might have left?a memorandum, a <
record, or an account of some sort
which would explain to "Alan, his son,
the Might which hung over his life.
Sherrlll bad said that It Could have
been no mere Intrigue, no vulgar personal
sin; and the events of the night
had nmde tlint very cortnlri; for. plainly,
whatever was hidden In that house
Involved some one else seriously, desperately.
There was no other way to
explain the Intrusion of the sort of
