IMMY BARTON'S knowledge of
J Richard Conley, plus my infor
mation gained from Madge and
Margaret, gave us a fairly complete
story and a very definite feeling that
'we understood the young lawyer with
all his lovable weakness. But there
‘was just one gap In our evidence-—one
&ap which nelther of us could bridge.
And that was later to prove a yawn
ing abyss before the feet of one or
two greatly surprised people.
As we made our return trip to Bluc
Cove Jimmy told me his part of the
story. Directly we suspected that
Conley was the man in the case. Jim
my had gone down to the law offices
of Conley & Conley and had sent in
his card requesting an interview,
Later that redoubtable Youth per
suaded me to involve myself in the
situation. Our position was desper
ate—and we fought fire with fire, as
you shall see,
“The interview” was readily grant
ed, but surprise swung to instant dis
may when Jimmy fairly hurled a
question at the younger man, “Do you‘
know Madge Minturn?” 3
Of course, young Conley swore he
had never heard of the girl—but as
tute Jimmy noticed that the match
with which the lawyer was striking
his cigarette had flickered out very
suddenly—but not before it burned
the trembiing fingers which were
holding it.
A tiny bit of evidapce that-—but
Jimmy, the sleuth, knew it was worth
following up, and when half an hour
later Richard Conley hurried into the
Grand Central and embarked on a
train for Blue Cove, Jimmy was close
on his tracks.
Jimmy Follows Conley.
Conley took the second of the town's
supply of ramshackle cabs, and Jim
my had to purchase an even more
ramshackle bicycle. As you know, he
u,-od me on my return to the sta
tion—but, as you do not know, he
turned to wave a farewell and blow
me an audacious kiss.
“That kiss didn't get me much, Miss
Beatrice,” laughed Jimmy. “Nothing
but an encounter with a stone and a
:a:ble which smashed none of my
but all of the bicycle's vital or
gans. I had to go on foot after that,
and by the time I caught up with my
‘quarry he was coming out of the
woods, and I concluded that he had
finished his Interview with the girl—
but I was in time to see another in
terview begin,
“Conley bumped into a queer look
ing chap. Say, do you know he looked
like some of those mental defectives
cn were working over this winter,
orse than that, he seemed tp me. 1

’thnt boded very little good for your
friend, Miss Madge Minturn!”
I remember my glimpse of the
man’'s sullen, evil face, with its loose
lipped animal outh and its furtive
eyes., .1 remembered, too, how weak
Richard Conley’'s good-looking face
had seemed to me ns I glimpsed it in
passing ———, and sudden fear took
hold of my heart.
Mrs. Woods had not seen Madge
for all the long hours during which 1
had gone 1o New York, interviewed
Margaret Payne, and made the trip
back to The Journal office.
Again my terrified fancy leaped to
the portentous question, “Where was
Madge Minturn?" And hard upon it
followed a second question of equal
portent, “What affairs could Richard
Conley and Harry Wilkins, the village
ne’er-do-well, be discussing?”
“Do you remember just where Con
ley and Wilkins went?” I asked.
“Yes, and that's where we're bound.
You're going to see a tumble-down
little cabin which houses an absolute
renegade. And I think there'll be a"
rather startling denouement and a
crusher for the plans of Wilkins, Con
ley and Company.” And more than
that, Jimmy refused to say, though
I begged him to tell me exactly what
he did expect to discover when we got
to Wilkins' cabin.
In a lonely nook of the woods we
came upon the cabin. It had a brood
ing, sullen look strangely Jike the ex.
pression on the face of its master.
Jimmy hid me behind a clump of
bushes and hurried forward alone.
For a minute I permitted him to man
age the situation to suit himself,
Suddenly a sound came to my ears,
It was a woman's shriek—a call for
help in a voice which sounded defi
nitely familiar,
Automatically I rushed out from
hiding and hurried toward the cabin,
As Jimmy turned the knob of the door
there was one wild, agonized scream,
which became suddenly muffled and
was followed by a thick pall of silence
—silence unbroken and sinister—si
lence suggesting tragedy of the most
evil sort,
One moment the woods had boon‘
alive and thrilling with agonized
sound; the next moment they were
stili—and deaqa.
1 stumbled forward with hot tears
smarting in my eyes and my heart,
1 felt tha! terrible harm had gcome to
the girl who had written to me with
such pathetic pleading tnat I help
her get a name for a baby.
A Fearful Struggle.
While Jimmy and 1 were going
about things in a methodical, plodding
way, forces of which we knew nothing
might have been at work, and Madge
Minturn had perhaps suffered greater
evil than that from which he had
begged me to free her.
As these thoughts raced across my
brain 1 was forcing my body to race,
100, and a second later I followed Jim-
Iny across the threshold of the cabin,
A second more and 1 was the wit
ness of a wild struggle. Wilkins was
fighting with the physical strength a
man whose mental ability is far below
par often displays. It took all Jimmy's
sclence to master him. But at last he
conquered, and Wilkins became utter
ly cowed—subdued and frightened—
and entirely respectful In his attitude
toward the man who had been able to
gain physical control of him.
In a corner of the cabin crouched
Madge, sobbing violently that we had
come just in time, and that if we had
been a minute later there would have
been nothing for her to do but kill
herself,
“But my baby, Miss Falrfax—make
him find my baby. If anything's hap
pened to little Richard, I'm going to
kill myself. I couldn't bear it—noth
ln{ matters but just baby. If he's
only alive and well, everything will be
all right.
“Don’t you know where your baby
is, Madge ™ ] asked a little severely,
_ “No-he stole my baby—Williams
did. Oh, Miss Fairfax, do you think
he's done him afly harm?
“Wilkins,” sald Jimmy sternly, “it
will be just as well for you if noth
ing unpleasant has happened to little
Richard—first, we'l! find him, and then
you'll give a little explanation of your
rformance this afternoon. 1 think

been, but 1 won't do any guessing.

And as Madge watched him the
agonized fear on her face showed that
she wondered what sufferings this evil

Picked Up Here and There
The Humble Shawl
The working women ana girls of Lan
cashire and Yorkshire regard the shaw!
A 8 & necessity, and especially is this
the case In the colllery districts: A
writer in The Miligate Monthly says:
“Domestic duties, performed in varying
temperatures, on washing days and
cleaning days, In the house or about the
yard, are rendered safe under the pro
tection of a shawl. The mill girl could
soarcely get on without it. It shields
her between the mill and home, winter
and summer, in snow or rain. It is eas
-Ily donned and doffed. It is the handl
est of all articles of wearing apparel,
and, as made in England today, Is mod.
erate In cost. A warm, soft shawl
would save many & racking cough and
stave off incipient pulmonary troubles.
It is a tried and proved sanitarium, and
is growing In patronage and popularity
with ladies of the upper middie classes.”
The Monk's Wit.
An excellent story is recorded of a
‘monk named Mainus, who, in the reign
of Francis 1 of France, owed his first
advancement to a clever retort. The
king was very fond of the game of ten.
nis, and was playing a match one day
with Malnus. The monk finally ended
the hard-fought game with & brilllant
stroke.
The king was somewhat out of humor
on account of his defeat.
“Remarkable!” he exclaimed sarcas
tieally., “To think that such a stroke
should be made by & mers monk!"
“But, sire” replied the monk, who

Charm of Manner
l“G OOD manners are the pleas
ant way of doing things,™
| says an aphorism well worth
noting.
In the rugged democracy on which
& good many people pride themselves,
charm of manner has lost its ancient
prestige. We have a Bohemian way of
announcing that conventionality doesn't
count with us, that we act as we feel,
that we believe In simplicity and nat
urainess. That all sounds rather fine
and independent. But it won't do.
We have all to adapt ourselves to
an ever-varying stream of eclreum
stances. And If we learn to adapt our
selves gracefully we shall at once save
ourselves friction, annoyance and an un
necessarily awkward appearance.
“Don't be affected,” says many a
well-meaning adult to an impressionable
child. And the child who was probably
only trying to be gracious and pleasant
