CHAPTER XIII.
Two Potent Aids.
AiS
Nelson stood In the darkness of
the room holding his breath he
felt the weight of the pistol in
his right band and the thought
came to him that should there be
only that one man—Michael Kearney
he would be tempted to slay.
On the blue nose of his weapon was
screwed a Maxim silencer. The voice
of death would be dropped to a whis
per. The end of the sleuth would
never be known by the outside world.
Before him loomed the brown horror
of a cell and sunless, skyless days.
The heart of Molly Bryan would be
broken as the heart of his mother had
been broken.
If he killed would it not be In self
defense and in the highest and fullest
meaning of the phrase? There are
things worse than death.
There was a slight sound against
the side of the house beneath the win
dow he faced Whoever this was.
coming as a thief in the night, would
soon show his bead over the sill. The
weight of the revolver in his hand
seeim 1 to increase He was no man
to take human life. He realized it
suddenly. Moisture exuded from his
fingers and blurred the steel of his
weapon in the dark.
He had said to himself that no one
would know of the death of the relent
less hound that had pursued him from
a pit of despond to Arcady. God and
his conscience would know it!
He crossed the room on his toes
rapidly and replaced the weapon in his
desk.
The terrible Injustice that had blast
ed his life at twenty-one. that had
scarred and branded him forever, thai
had sent his sweet, patient little
mother to a sorrowful death and thai
had penned him in a cage for the flrsl
five years of his maturity, had drawn
him closer to his Maker. A sound
came from the window sill and was
repeated It came steadily for a fe*
fceconds and ended with a snap as the
latch over the window sash gave un
der the upward pressure of a jimmy
The sash was raised slowly, cautiously,
Nelson's eyes, accustomed to the
darkness, recognized the heavy sboul
ders and the squat figure as the mat
entered.
"Bill!" he whispered, repressing a
cry of joy that rose from his heart.
"Kid!" came the answer.
They strode to each other and clasp
ed hands
"Is it safe, boy?" asked the old bur
glar "Is there any one else in th
House?"
"Not a soul."
"Thank God!"
"Come to the top floor. It will b«
even safer there."
Nelson took the old man to the at
tic, drew the blinds and switched on 8
light
He looked at the old convict for a
moment and then placed his arms
about his shoulders as would a son
embracing a father after long years
of separation Bill stood in the glare
of the light, scanning the face of the
younger man
"Boy," said the old probationer, "I
come to you because I knew you need
ed me. That hound at headquarters
turned me loose so that he could fol
low me and get you."
Nelson started.
"But don't worry," Hawkins assured
him. "for I'm an old fox and hard to
follow."
"Why did you come in by the win
dow?"
"It was the safest way," explained
Bill "Although 1 felt certain that no
one was shadowing me. 1 could not be
dead sure So I thought I'd come in
as a burglar, and if there was any
shadow after me he'd think I was back
In the old game. If I was caught
they'd get me for the old sin. The
shadow wouldn't know that John Nel
son was Jim Montgomery."
Hawkins dropped into a chair, looked
about the room and began studying
the bars, weights and trapezes.
"Them things?" he asked, with the
wave of a band.
"I work with them every day and
ha\e changed my measuiements," ex
'pi.uned Nelson. "I am taller and
bi odder, and my arms and legs are
longer."
Hawkins nodded.
"I doubt if they'd recognize you," he
said.
"How did you find me?" asked Nel
son. "1 was afraid to put a name in
the personal."
"After I reached Greenville it didn't
take me long to hear about John Nel
son," he replied. "I mingled with the
machinists as a laborer, heard about
your inventions and success and about
jour work with the poor people. When
I found out where your place was I
traveled on foot 1 got a bed and
lodging in a cabin two .miles away. As
soon as ever}'body was asleep 1 slipped
out of the cabin, and here 1 am."
They were both silent for a moment
"I know what you're thinking about
Kid," said Hawkins finally.
"The guilty man," Nelson said slow
ly.
"You want me to try to get him."
"Yes. I have plenty of money now.
but I did not dare hire detectives."
"They couldn't get him after ten
years."
"Can any one find him?"
Bill felt the anxiety and eagerness,
the hunger for a real hope, in Kel&on'*
voice.
"If any one can get him I'm the one,"
he replied slowly. "I'm gonna get him
too. 1 gotta get him, boy. I owe you
something more than a few years out
of 'stir.'" His voice quavered with
emoQon.
"Yon put a God In my brain and
heart," he went on. "You made a soul
come to life in my old body." In his
sunken eyes there was a luster that
made beneficent the deep lined face.
"I found my old girl," he continued,
after a pause in which he mastered his
feelings. "You made me want to find
her and, thank God, I found her a good
and patient woman and glad to have
her man back. I'm some different Kid.
I'm some different, and I owe it to you.
I'm going after that man who let you
be sent up for life, and I'm going to
get him and drag him to the office of
the district attorney, if I get there with
my head caved in."
Nelson took bis wallet from his
pocket.
"Here is plenty of money, Bill," he
said. "Take it and use it it isn't a
loan or a gift. What is mine is yours.
Spend all that is necessary. I am a
rich man. You were the means of my
achieving wealth."
"Guess I'll need some of it," the pro
bationer said. "I'll take it, anyhow,
and when all comes out right I'll ac
count to you for it. Then my old VM
man and 1 will come down here and
work for you."
"Does a son let his father work for
him?" asked Nelson. "No! I'll work
for you. Bill, many years, God willing."
A storm springing from Carib seas
had swept northward along the Flori
da and Georgia shores. Down from
the north came the tail end of a big
blizzard the two met off the Carolina
coast. In the wild rush of tempera
tures seeking normal levels, heat and
cold mingled in the South Carolina
mountains and a deluge of rain re
sulted.
Mighty Caesar's Head, King's moun
tain and Paris mountain were washed
clear of snow by the torrent The
wind skirled in leafless boughs and
branches, howled through ravines and
gorges in mountainsides, and the flood
made the Saluda pick up its bed and
rush away even as did the man who
lay ill ai was made well by a mir
acle.
The mountain roads were torn and
ripped by the flood. They gave up the
frost in them and the red clay was
turned to a series of twisted ribbons.
With the clatter of a dozen rapid
fire guns came a low swung automo
bile with unusually heavy tires, high
mud guards and huge oil tank toward
the crest of Paris mountain from the
west. A screen of mud and water half
obscured the driver. Big goggles bid
his eyes.
On the top of the mountain, standing
in a runabout type of machine, a girl
waited. She bad torn a racing mask
from her face, and It lay caked with
red clay on the driver's seat behind
her. Her abundant hair had fallen
from its fastenings, and the wind play
ed with it as a great cat would play
with a loose bank of golden yarn.
The onrushing motor made the crest
of the mountain wifh a heavy lurch
of a great beast in attack, came to a
stop and shivered, sending flecks of
mud shooting to right and left as the
driver pulled himself from the wheel
seat
Molly Bryan lifted her right hand
high in the air in the unconscious sa
lute of ancient times
Stripping himself of great coat and
goggles and tossing them into his ma
chine. John Nelson hurried to her.
"I saw you when you started down
Glassy mountain." she said. Her face
was pale. "I did not know whether
yon would make it safely." Her left
hand went to her heart.
His beard was splashed with clay.
In his eyes was the effulgence of the
stars. He had come, perilously cours
ing up and down the mountains, to
ask her aid In buying Christmas gifts,
in the shops of the little city nestling
below them, for the little children of
the poor in the Dark Corner. He was
the unconscious instrument of one of
the beatitudes, "Blessed are the poor."
The look in her eyes, the trembling
of the band she extended to him, the
quaver in her soft voice, the quick
flush that replaced the pallor of her
cheeks as she read the love message
in his look, gave him the hint that she
expected his tongue to utter the
thoughts that filled his mind.
But he held back the words. He
was still master of his tongue, but no
man with love in his heart, in every
Gber of his being, can master his soul.
He held up a hand to her. She took
it and started to step from her car.
Her heel slipped on the wet running
board and she fell against his breast
Her bead lay on his shoulder and,
with the world far below them and
the clouds lowering about them, their
lips met in the kiss of betrothal.
With Molly Bryan's kiss on his lips
and sweetening bis life. Nelson found
himself on the other side of the chasm
he had shrunk from with dread in his
heart
The thought that his stanch friend,
the old convict, was off on the hunt
for the man he dared not himself seek
brought him a measure of assurance
for his still troubling conscience.
Then, too. Molly took total posses
sion of him and banished from his
mind all concern except the moment's
concern. He felt the warmth of her
sweet woman's body and its soft pres
sure against his, the burn and tingle
of her flushed cheeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were anxiously
awaiting them when their machines
swung into the broad road leading
through the estate to the mansion
which crowned it
"Here's Santa Claus." Molly shouted
to her parents. "And I am Mrs. Santa
Claus." She clasped his arm and clung
to it as they made their way up the
piazza steps.
"Mother-father," she said, "John
and 1 love each other. He has asked
me to be his Wife."
"May I have her for better or for
worse?" he asked the parents.
Mr. Bryan's face bad paled. "You
must talk with her mother," he said.
"Will you join me in the library after
you have been to your room. Nelson?"
The wind puffed down the great
chimney and filled Mr. Bryan's library
with the fragrance of burning oak and
pine. The logs crackled above their
deepening ashen bed. The night bad
come, and the well shelved room was
snug with the glow from the hearth.
"Nelson," began Mr Bryan. leaning
forward in bis armchair, "you are ask
ing us for the best we have—our only
daughter. 5re you worthy?*
"1 have tried to be."
"You must know that you have been
the subject of gossip because you have
lived as a hermit."
"Yes."
"And you have admitted that there is
something in your own life which you
do not feel that I, Molly's father,
should share."
"I know It"
"Have you anything to bide from me
now?'
The eyes of the younger man stared
into the fire. The dancing flames cast
grotesque shadows on his bearded face.
"I cannot give you my confidence,"
he replied. "I cannot, now."
"Nelson, my measure of a man is by
his integrity and his intelligence," Mr.
Bryan urged. "You have brains and
Industry. Whether you were a found
ling at birth or a child of the streets in
the north will not weigh heavily in my
decision." His voice was kindly and
assuring.
"My boy," he said, "you must open
your heart to me. I cannot let my
daughter undertake to share your life
with her eyes blindfolded. Tell her.
Tell her everything. She is of the
stamp of her dear mother. She is a
young woman, but a brave and serious
one. She would countenance nothing
that would bring a touch of dishonor
to her or to her parents."
"Tell-her?" gasped Nelson.
"Yes."
Molly entered the library, coming
from her mother, radiant with smiles.
She paused as she saw the pallor of
her lover's face and the serious look
upon her father's.
"What is the matter?" she demanded.
Mr. Bryan rose from his chair.
"I shall leave you together for
awhile," he said as he left the room.
"John!"
With his name on her lips she went
to him, and he took her in his arms
and kissed her.
"Let us go outside on the piazza," he
said. "I feel as though 1 should choke
in here. There is something 1 must
tell you."
She turned from him and flung wide
a deep window. The night scowled at
them as they left the warm and light
ed room for the rain and the dark.
"I have something to tell you," he
repeated.
"That you love me?" she asked.
"Love you?" he repeated. "My heart
Is torn with love for you."
"Nothing else matters."
She crept to his side and clasped bis
hands In hers.
"Your father wants to know who I
am," he told her.
"I know who you are. You are John
Nelson, my lover."
"He wants to know whence 1 came."
"From heaven—to me," she answer
ed, with a little laugh of content as
she kissed him.
"From prison," he said. "1 am an
escaped convict 1 was sent to prison
in the north for life. 1 was convicted
of"
"I know what you were convicted
of," she whispered, smothering his lips
with her own. "You were convicted of
being too kind and too good to your
fellow man. Christ was so convicted
The words fell solemnly from her
lips, and they startled Nelson
"I was convicted of murder." he
said, "of murder in the second de
gree. I was innocent. I was sentenced,
an innocent man, to life in prison. My
name is James Montgomery, and the
police seek me."
She fell back from him for a mo
ment, the shadows enshrouding her.
But she did not leave him for long.
Her arms were again about his neck,
and her lips turned to his.
"I knew that you bad been hurt by
some one or something." she whisper
ed, pressing her cheek against his.
"You do not need to tell me of your
Innocence. I shall share your sorrows
and your joys until death do us part."
"I have no moral right to marry
you," be said.
"But you shall take me for your
wife." she cried "I shall live in the

they shall never take you as long as 1
