Of hla eonacions feelings, the terror that she would be brought to believe with the others that he bad struck tho blow against her father waa the most poignant. Avery ¿railed forward one of the leather chairs for her to »eat herself end took another for himself facing \ Eaton. "Why did you ring tbe bell In Mr. i Hantolne'« berthF Avery directed the attack upon him suddenly. “To call help," Eaton answered. “Tou had known, then, that bo needed helpF “I knew It—saw It then, of course." “WbenF “When I found him.

"When I came back It didn't look right to me; Its position had not been changed at all. and It hadn't looked right to me before.

"And having looked In and seen Mr. Rantolne Injured and lying as he was. you did not call anyone, you did not bring help—you merely leaned across him and pushed tbe bell and went on quickly out of the car before anyone could see youF “Tee; hut I waited on the platform of the next car to see that help did come; and the conductor paased me, ■nd I knew that he and tbe porter must And Mr. Santolne. aa they did.” “Do you expect ns to believe that very peculiar action of youra was tbe act of an Innocent manF “If I had been guilty of the attack on Mr. Santolne, I'd not have stopped or looked into tbe berth at all.” “If you are Innocent, you bad. of course, some reason for acting aa you did. Will you explain what it waaF "No—I cannot explain.” With a look of triumph Avery turned to Harriet Santolne. and Ea ton felt hie flesh grow warm with gratitude as he saw her meet Avery's look with no appearance of being con vinced. Avery made a vexed gesture, and turned to Connery. “Tell her the rest of It," be directed. Connery, who had remained stand ing back of tbe two chairs, moved slightly forward. “Where shall I be- glnF he asked of Avery; he was look ing not at the girt but at Eaton. “At the beginning," Avery directed. “Mr. Eaton, when you came to thia train, the gateman at Seattle called m.v attention to you," Connery began. “Old Sammy has recognised men with criminal records time and again. He's ' got seven rewards out of It.” Eaton felt hla pulses close with a shock. "He recognised meF he asked quietly. “No. he didn't; he couldn't place you," Connery granted. "He couldn't tell whether you were somebody thnt was 'wanted' or someone well known —someone famous, maybe; bnt I j ought to hnve kept my eye on you because of that, from the very start.
