"It has occurred to me," the chief | went on, "thut that little town has been pretty busy lately. There was that matter of the country dub, you know, and Inst Thursday night the parish i house burned down." "Yes," said Boroday, politely. "And now something else has hap pened and--" Huddenly the chief bent ; his desk with hts list—"I am pretty sick of It." Under perfect control as he was at critical moments, the Russian's hands had a way of twitching. So now he flicked the ash from his cigarette and was politely Interested. "What happened last night?" he in quired. "Ï think you know. If you don't, IH tell yon. Yesterday morning a tremendous collection was taken up at the church of Saint Jude's to build a new parish bouse In place of the one that burned down. The rector has been away : the assistant rector took charge of the money." "I see." "Of course you see. What I would like to know is why you fellow Boroduy spread out his hands in UIb foreign way. "I fear you give me great credit. I do not deserve It." "—Why you fellows," the chief went on resolutely, "waited to do this Job until the rector, who Is old and In firm, hud gone away and left a husky young assistant in his place. And that Isn't all I want to know." "In any way that I cun assist you—" "What the devil do you mean," yelled the chief, "by shooting a man down und then going away and leav ing the money In his pockets? It's— It's crude—It's wusteful !" The Russian's Angers twitched In spite of him. The chief saw It and smiled under bis heavy mustache. "Do you mean that somebody shot this— er —assistant you speak of? That Is rather Mud. Was there—much money?" "Seventy-eight thousand dollars," said the chief, and put his cigar back In Ids mouth. "There Is u story be hind It, Boroday, and it's that story I am going to get. I'm warning you be muse you've played pretty square with me, I needed tlmt pearl In my busi ness." Boroday rose. "All right, chief," he said. "I am sorry about young Ward. I hope ho wasn't killed." "He wasn't killed," replied the chief. "And I haven't said his name was Ward. If you haven't hnd your break fast yet. we might breakfast together. I overslept und haven't had time for anything." In ly of ly an ber ly a n a of * * Ward came hack to conaclousnesa In the grout four-poster bedstead In which old Hilary Kingston had lain In state.

He could uot remember what It was. Ther* was a uniformed nurse by the bed. He hail n curious antipathy to asking her anything. He hud made a promise of secrecy to someone— about wliut? Toward evening he had managed to evolve out of hts reviving conscious ness seme faint memory of what had happened to him. He remembered that he was walking down a hill and that he hud fallen forward. For quite a half-hour, late In the afternoon, ho struggled to remember why he hud gone down the hill. Then he got It, He had been up nt the hall to see Elinor. It was Elinor who hud gone out of Ills life. Elinor I Elinor! lie slept very little during the night, and us his fever rose, he called the nurse "Elinor," and begged her fran tically to tell him that somethlug *vaa not true. "Of course It Is not true," sntil the nurse, who was accustomed to being called various things. "You did not mean It nt all?" He eyed her wistfully. The nurse was large and plain, with a wide, fiat face. "You, with the eyes of a saint," wild poor Ward, "to try to tell me that you are wicked. I see that It Is Impos sible. I think I can sleep now." The nurse put her hand, which was large and 111 shaped but very light and tender, on his head. Aud so he went to sleep. When he was quite settled, the nurse went out Into the hall where Elinor w , mt „g on a straight chair.
