Chapter 39 CROSSED PATHS WINTERING the" Inn one evening to buy a drink and bear more ot the local gossip, ere going up to my room, I came suddenly face to face with a very broad, tall, strong man whose bard face, cruel mouth, and broken, flattened nose were vaguely familiar. I had never seen him before, but I had most certainly seen either his photograph or a newspaper repro duction thereof, obtained for me by William, and enclosed In one ot the many letters that bad awaited my arrival at Uncle's. I was, moreover, word-perfect, from William's de tailed description of this man, as I was ot tue three other miscreants whom I hoped and Intended to bring to Justice mv justice. ' . Luckily, be was glancing at tbe evening paper,' and 1 bad plenty ot time in which to pull myself to gether, decide upon my course of action, and remember the invalu able histrionic teachings ot Mr, and Mrs. Williams H. William. And then was played as thrilling a little scene with a thread ot com edy In Us grlmness as any in tbe tragic drama of my quest. For, ere long, Cblnk Dorson was warily and cunningly questioning me as to tbe character, reputation, habits, way of life, comings and goings, of Squire Theophllus Webb of Wltb erby End his old acquaintance. Spider Schlltz! Yes, I was actually being cross examined by Chink Dorson, prize lighter, burglar and gunman, whose cunning subtle brain and cold de termined courage bad brought him to tho top of his profession as the right-band man ot tbe notorious Englishman, Doc Simon. Who was I? . . . Oh, just a very ordinary middle-class Englishman, staying at Wltherby End tor some fishing. 'Hadn't tried it bere before, but sbould certainly come again.' Yes, Squire Webb bad tbe rights and was very generous about them Did no-flailing himself. Yes, Wltherby Stream ran right through bis grounds, and one could go the whole way In a punt, right through bis park, once one had ob tained hi" fishing-permit. A good landlord and a regular fellow. Yes, lots ot scandalous stories about blm, his guests, bis house hold, and tbe goings on, there. ' la residence now? Yes. And many more questions, grad ually narrowing down to those con cerning. Mr. Webb's dally life, ways, habits, customs, comings and go ings. I gave the fellow all the Informa tion 1 could, and every possible help, short of seeming to know too much. For a magnificent new scheme, or rather enlargement ot my original scheme, was forming In my mind. It, as Williams H. William had written to me, Simon had probably been released from prison before the others, and had then gone to Uncle, collected The Cnsetting Sun and other loot that was the com mon property ot tbe gang, and bolt ed with It to England It was more than likely that Spider Schlltz had followed blm In the hope ot getting bis share, and that Chink Dorson, having served his term and been released, waa now In hot pursuit ot both of them. It this were not the situation, why should Cblnk Dorson be here at Wltherby End. cunningly collecting the sort of Information that any burglar gathers before "cracking a crib"? It Chink Dorson's intentions were any but the worst possible, why didn't be drive straight up to his old friend's front door, and, being shown lito his presence, extend tbe glad right hanij of friendship, and gather him In brotherly love to his broad and palpitating bosom? No. Adding together the sound deductions that William bad made, and my own deductions based on Chink Dorson's present conduct, I felt pretty confident, nay cer tain, 'that he was it Wltherby End neither for his own health nor court Is In session. And they are ob jects eagerly sought by souvenir hunt ers. In fact, they are so prized as aou ve nire that court attaches find it dif ficult at times to keep an adequate supply on hand. When the court re. convened the other day after an ex tended recess, a new supply hod to be purchased. '' CAPITOI. GLIMPSES: ' General Pershing entering a fash ionable hotel on Sixteenth street just before luncheon on Sunday morning. . . . And Seoretary of War and Mrs. Hurley, Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Hyde and former Senator Phlpps of Colorado following a bit later, all attending a luncheon party being given by the general. ... John McDuffle. Democratic whip of the house, and Albert Vestal, Repub lican whip, conversing earnestly in the capltol restaurant after word of Nick Longworth's death had been told them. . . . Senator Austin, the new senator from Vermont, strolling through the corridors of the capltol. And Senator Sheppard of Texas sitting alone In the senate restau rant apparently in ueep uiuukhi. that ot Spider Schlltz, but for his own enrichment and thaLjmnlBh. ment ot one of the two men who bad double-crossed and robbod him. How utterly splendid: what wonderful and beautiful example of poetic justice It would be II these two wolves destroyed each other, leaving me free to deal with the remaining pair! For the weak spot In my scheme, the weak link In my chain ot ven geanceand the one that kept me anxiously awake at night was the danger that I might be arrested and tried as the Blayer of the first or second of my victims, before I had time to deal with the third and fourth... After that. It would would not matter. Nothing would matter. But I scarcely dared to contem plate the horror ot failure and my being banged before my work was finished; or at best, sentenced to life-long imprisonment In England, as I bad been In America. I had to bear In mind that my lite sentence still awaited me In Amer ica, and that I might easily receive one In England If 1 escaped hanging. So what a grim and lovely jest It I could a little help Chink Dorson to kill ' Spider Schlltz, and then greatly help the English law to kill Chink Dorson for the murder! Both would be punished without endangering my freedom to pursue tbe other two. Both would, In a measure, be pun ished by, and through, me. And they would wholly and en tirely be punished on account ot me through their killing of my daughter and their stealing ot my diamond, the bone of their conten tion and the cause of their mutual destruction ... Could 1 recommend decent ac commodation to my newly arrived acquaintance? He would only need it for a few days. He just wanted to have look at Wltberby End and Its en vironment. He was thinking of set tllng down In the country and hav ing a bit ot sport; and this place had been recommended to him. I could. What was wrong with this Inn? 1 had found It very com fortable ... Could one get In without a lot ot fuss, at nlgbt. If one happened to be a bit late? And Mr. Cblnk Dorson winked heavily, as one gay dog to another. Why, certainly. ... I myself often went nlgbt-Ushlng, and all one had to do was to walk In at the back door. Very confiding people, those country folk. Honest ani "simple. Crime absolutely unheard ot here abouts ... , ' To cut a long story short, I shad owed Chink Dorson with a skill and tenacity born of my burning lust tor vengeance. I watched him from afar, by day, and from near-by at night; and In tbe end, at long last, as I sat In the dark shadow ot a great Cedar ot Lebanon, I saw Chink Dorson, wLom I had followed and, by a short-cut over the park wall, forestalled creep quietly from tree to tree, up the moon-lit drive that led to Squire Webb's big house. Whether Cblnk Dorson, with the burglarious skill that had made him eminent and famous, himself opened tbe door by which he entered the house, or whether It had been left open for him by a servant whom he had suborned or whom he had planted there. I do not know. What I do know Is that. In a state ot exultant exaltation, I followed him and, guided by tbe sound of voices, came straight to the door ot the room which proved to be Mr. Webb's library. . Hearing the sounds ot a struggle, which were followed by a dead si lence, 1 cculd not forbear to open tbls door, to see with my own eyes the consummation ot the first part ot my dream ot revenge. On the floor, obviously dead, lay Spider Schlltz, The first of my enemies had paid the penalty. He had received the punishment directly due for steal lng my diamond, the act which led to the death ot my daughter. And now for the punishment ot the second one. Softly closing the door, I tiptoed away to where the shadows ot the landing were darkest, and crouched down beside, and partly behind, the pedestal ot a ghostly looking statue. A minute later, the door ot the library opened, softly closed again, and the figure ot Chink Dorson passed between me and the moon lit window on the other side ot the broad landing.
