sort of chap in his younger days
his career might have taken a widely
different course.
As tho general tells it:

CHERISH PRECEDENTS
Precedents are cherished In the

But perhaps the most antiquated

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. ''

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.
