THE RED CIRCLE
By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE
Author of “The Fighter,” “Caleb Conover.” “Syria From the Saddle.” etc. Novelized From
the Pat he Photo Play of the Same Name by Will M. Ritchey.
(Copyright, Itlt. by Albert Pay son Tsrhuss).
JUDGMENT DAY.
Os course, It wih a drvittn— a vi
sion bred of terror, of suspense, of
lung-continued nerve strain. At
least no June always tried, In later
days,, to make herself believe.
Hut she had not teen aware of
falling asleep. She was sitting there
In tlie squalid little living room of
the flat, brooding miserably over the
future; and. seemingly, wide awake.
Yet, unconsciously, as she sat there,
she mi) have doled.
For. as clearly as ever In her life
she had beheld anything, she saw.
“Circle Jim'* Borden come Into the
room
lee “Circle Jim” Borden, whose
mortal body had been lying in the
poiiers* held this many a day.
June did not cry out. She did not
stir Once she sought to speak, to
question the apparition. Hut her
tongue and her lips were paralysed.
And now the stern and firm set
lips of the apparition moved. More
with her heart than with her eara,
June heard the words that the
specter lips formed
‘■.Tunc,” breathed the wraith's
voice ' I am jour father —your fath
er who died There Is no death,
save to the body And I have come
back to you I have come hark, be
cause I cannot lest You alone can
give me rest, by daughter."
He paused And still that strange
psrnlvsts held June spellbound
"l sought to wipe out forever the
Red Circle curse I sought It by end
ing the lives of those who bore that
curse But l failed You escaped
me ’*
There was something so sinister
In the words that June felt a thrill
of terror tingle at her heart. The
voice was tinged with a tender long
ing as again the wraith spoke
"June—-my lltile girl, whom I nev
er knew, in Ilf**—-you must help me.
You. and you alone, can aid me now.
I cannot rest until the clrrle is for
ever gone While the curse endures,
m* torture must endure 1 long for
rest —for eternal sleep. But there
can he no rest for the dead while
their evil deed's live on My wins live
on In you. poor daughter of mint*.
And you alone can crush the awful
power of the Red Circle and give me
rest Your fate In In your own
hands. Not onlv your fate, but mine
You have the power. If you will but
exert If. to— *’
He checked himself and turned
his fierce gme in angry Impatience
toward the door The door opened
and Mary looked in
Returning from her purchase of
Supplies, the old nurse had met Max
Umar, who had learned of June’s
whereabouts and had hastened to
her. leaving l.aroar in the adjacent
dining room, Mary had come to toll
June of his visit
Now, entering the room, she saw
the girl lesnlng bark In her chair
with closed eyes This she saw. and
nothing else. Khe had no hint of
the wraith’s presence
The obi woman tiptoed back to the
dining room, shutting the door soft
ly behind her.
“The poor dear Is asleep, * she re
ported to 1-amar, In a whisper, I
won’t disturb her She needs It.”
As soon as Mary left the room,
Borden drew close to the moveless
June once more.
“It is In your power to save us
both, daughter.” he said, eagerly.
“Y’ou can save us You alone. You
ran give me the rest I crave.
"I was brought up to crime—to
rerklovsnevH to the companionship
of outcasts." went on Borden
"There were hut two clean Influences
in all mv life —mv mother and the

wife I adored My mother died be
fore I could understand how much It
would have nit ant to her If I had
learned to live the life she wished
me to. My wife could have saved
me. through love. But she died She
died when you were horn And after
that nothing mattered to me I went
on and on, 10 the end ’’
A spasm of pain marred his rug
ged face.
"W’iih you It was different Prom
babyhood, you were surrounded by
every influence for good. Every pow
er of environment warred valiantly
against the herttary curse And that
saved you from committing sordid
crimes, when at Inst the curse over
took vou. You sinned But always
you sinned that others might hap
py Never once did you < ommlt
crime for your own profit always to
help others This much the good
Influences accomplished for you.
They could not wholly ward oIT the
curse, hut they made your sins a
blessing to many unfortunates And
those same good Influences will save
you now —If you will help them."
"You can conquer the curse by
willpower" urged Horden "Y’ou
can destroy the evil that Is in you.
Y’ou ran save yourself and me You
ran do this. It will he a fearful con
flict, hut If .you exert all vour will
power, you can win Will you do this,
June? Answer me!"
June longed to rrv nut to him that
she would make the lighi ; that she
would strive with hll her might to
stamp out the rurse of the Red Cir
cle But she could not speak
The glowing eyes, peering down at
her In su< h frantic appeal, took on a
look of baffled rage.
"lon will not •■peak’’ You will not
help iiie” You will not help your
self”’ stormed the wraith "You nr*-
so dead to your better self thst you
will not make the effort which could
save ii? both?"
June writhed inwardly, trying to
tell him he was wrong—that h»
cruelly misjudged her that she
would do as he had bidden her
And now the weird voice whollv
lost its gentleness, its note of tender
entreaty Into it crept a bulldog
snarl of menace.
"My pie., cannot move you”" he
rumbled, "Then then is inly one
way to end it Even a I hoped once
b* fore to destroy the Rea Circle an 1
Its curse Then. I killed myself and
the lad I thought was my ?on If I
had known 'ou were my daughter,
you should have died, too, even a?
now, you shall die"’
The gnarled hands clutched at
June's full, white throat In murder
oun fury Rot the -.po.tral hand*'
bodiless, shadowy were harmless
against her wsim, living flesh.
Slowly Hie impotently murderous
hand? withdrew their grip.
"My- mv spirit hands have no
power against your human body!"
lie snarled "I am helpless It is
my punishment.'*
He bowed his head In his arms,
his phantom body twitching with
emotion *1 hen turning abruptly,
without so much .is a backward look
at the trance held girl, lie melted
through the closed ooor aud "its
gone.
For s moment June remained as
he had left her Then she shudder
**d from head to heel Her dark eyes
gradually opened They were horror
filled and wild.
Instinctively she raised her right
hand to her throat as If she had act
ually felt the pressure of the
wraith's murderous fingers. The
hand she raised was free from all
trace of the circle

away, she shrieked aloud and reeled
to the floor 1n a dead faint.
Mary and lamar, at sound of her
cry, rushed headlong Into the room.
They flew to her aid, applying; such
restoratives as were within reach.
Presently, the swooning girl came to

Charles Gordon. In the lounging

•’Guilty or not—she saved me from
prison No girl with eyes like hers

He glnn< ed up quickly. A man
had hurried Into the room and was
speaking excitedly to a little knot of
idlers who sat near the door
•’Well!*' Gordon heard the newcom
er saying. “1 think Silas Farwell has
about paid his debt to those em
ployees of his that he’s been swin

"What’s up”’* asked Gordon, Join

”1 heard this morning that a crowd
of them tried to storm his office
again, to n.nke him settle. He had
a lot ot roughneck guards, who scat

the door behind him.
He was shaking with fear
Then Gordon, recognizing the
value of *ho psychological moment,
leaped forward and seized Farwell

“Confess!'* ordered Gordon again.

stupidly into the sternly compelling

But one of the bystandefs laid a
detaining hand on the advancing
chief‘a arm, and stopped his progress
toward the center of the group. Al
len paused s moment, Irresolute.
And in that moment he heard Gor
don repeat;
"Confess your charge against me
was a He!”
Under the blaze of Gordon’s hyp
notic look, Farwell’s nerves went
w holly to pieces.
“I—I—” he sputtered
“Tell the truth!'* demanded Gor
don. “or I'll drag you by main force
out of this club and throw you to the
mob of men outside there! The
men you’ve robbed, aud who will
kill you If they—“
"I —1 confess!*’ croaked Farwell,
in stark terror. I— **
“You confess—wbat?” Insisted
Gordon, again shaking his foe back
and forth as a puppy might shake a
rag.
" —l—confess I framed’ you," bab
bled the terrified Farwell. “I—I —the
charge I made against you was —
was false I —oh, for God's sake,
Gordon'*' he howled In abject terror,
"don't let those devils out there get
hold of me. They’ll— **
“One thing more”’ broke in Gor
don, eurtlv; his face alight at his
victory and at the complete mastery
which, for the moment, he was exert
ing over the panic stricken man.
“One thing more: Will you retract
your robbery charge against Misa
Travis, and vindicate her? Will
you?**
"Hold on there”’ broke In Chief
Allen’s peremptory voice, “You’re
going a step too far, Mr. Gordon. 1
didn’t butt in. while you made him
clear your own name. And I'ui
mighty glad you were able to. But
I can’t htve you Interfering with
the Red Circle case. That’s a mat
ter for the poitce. Let It alone'
And let Mr. Farwell go."
At Hound of the chief's voice, Far
well’s vanished courage returned to
him with a rush.
“Am I going to withdraw the
charge against the Travis girl?" he
sneered "Os course I’m not. I’m
going to prosecute her to the bitter
end. The thief!"
Chief Allen imerposed his muscu
lar bulk between the two men. Just
In ilme to prevent Gordon from fly
ing at Ills enemy’s throat.
Next morning a? soon as he could
find out where she was living. Gor
don went to June's apartment and
offered his services as her counsel
in the approaching trial. Gratefully.
June accepted the offer; being
familiar with the reports of his legal
skill.
He cut short her thanks by say
ing:
"And now. if you don't mind, Misa
Travis, we’ll gc over the case, to
gether; step by step. If Farwell is
the only complainant against you.
I've a notion I can shut him up by
threats of a perjury charge You
know he swore falsely against me.
If there are no other complaints
(you are as good as freed.''
But there were other complain
ants Plenty of them, as Max Ia
mar and Chief Allen were at that
very moment finding out
Max had dropped Into the chiefs
private office for h chat wdth his old
friend; and to try to erMst his aid
in June’s behalf. But he found A1
len as firm as a rock, in the matter
of bringing the R«*d Circle criminal
to Justice.
“I’d like to see It your wav, Maax,"
said the chief "But I ran t I’m an
officer of the law. The law has been
violated. And It's up to me to do all
1 can to punish the violator. I'm sor
ry.. You’ve got eloquence enough to
move anyone but a veteran thief
taker. But I— *'
"No. I haven't," denied
miserably. "1 can’t even away the
feeling? of one cranky fool of a wo
man "
’’What woman?" asked the chief,
curiously.
"Mrs. Travis." growled Ijunar
