l-r- US' aft' The Trail of the Dead: TO THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE Of DR. ROBERT HARLAND By B. FLETCHER ROBINSON Md J. MALCOLM FRASER (Copyright 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles) CHAPTER XIII. (Continued.) I once, and, telling him curtly enough thn Friday, Nov. 27. I have quite nn lm- tho writing wns mine, went out to get portnnt niece of news to-day, Mr. DInry. tho ten. At tho kitchen door wns tho bo no more grumbles, please, about your smnll boy who brought us our letters nnd having sunk Into n weather report, les, papers from Pollevcn. Thcro wns only sir, I have met a stranger fancy that n visitor, In tho winter, at Pollevcn! Mr. Hermann for that Is his name has been n dabbler In science, he tells mo, all his life. I shall snare him be fore long nnd lay my spoil In triumph nt father's feet. Since tho weather has been so bad, it has been very lonely for him Indoors, poor dear, with only ignor nnt me for company. I am certain Mr. Hermann will be just the man for him. A good stiff talk will brighten him up won derfully. I chanced upon him this afternoon. He was struggling along the cliff edge in tho teeth of the wind. His age should one letter that afternoon, which I placed amongst tho teacups on tho tray which I wns carrying to the sitting room. As I entered Mr. Hermann stepped forward to help me. "I fear I am giving you a great deal of trouble," said he. "Please don't npologIie,,r I answered laughing. "I always do It when our ser vant is out" . "As she Is now?' "Yes." "Then you have no one. In tho house?' No one savo my father." "Indeed! Is thnt so?" He dropped Into a chair by tho fire nnd be about sixty, but he is very well pre- at staring Into the coals, his chin rest served. Ho is clean-shaven nnd close- ing on his hand. Certainly his behavior cropped and is altogether very neat In was extremely odd that afternoon. As his appearance. His eyes behind his he did not speak, I opened the envelope, glasses are absurdly young, If I can so which was addressed to my father. It describe them. They are so actlvo nnd contained a second letter, and a short clear that if it were not for the wrin kles above them, I should have knocked ten years off his nge. Ho asked me the way to Pollevcn, and as I was nouud for tho village, I took him in charge. note from the editor of the University stating thnt n person of the namo of Sir Ilonry Gradcn had called for "Can tab's" address, nnd inquiring whether he might have permission to disclose It. He On tho way he told me that he had just forwarded, he added, a letter from Sir taken a room nt the inn there. He is writing a book, it seems, and wanted a quiet corner. He will find it at Polleven! He speaks with but a slight accent, hav ing lived much In England, though his father was a German, as his. name de notes. This was his first walk, and he Feemed much impressed with the wild iiess of the scenery. I told father about him at supper. He said he would be very pleased to meet him. Saturday, Nov. 2S. I am filled with the triumph of success. Mr. Hermann Henry, which, ns he believed, contalued nn explanation of this request I have the original letter before me now. Tins Is how it runs: "Jerrold'a Hotel, "Strand, London, V. C. "To 'Cantab.' "My Dear Sir As Mr. Rolles, the editor of the University Review, has not seen fit to inform me of your name nnd present address, I have written this let ter on the understanding that It will bo forwarded to you Immediately. I should much have preferred to explain the mat nnd father are hard at it over their pipes ter personally, but ns I may not receive in the study. They do not seem to be opposed on nny big question, which is most lucky, for some very learned men get into dreadful tempers with each oth er when eontrndicted. It Is the butcher's day at Polleven, so your answer for several days, I dare not delay. It is my duty to inform you that Prof. Rudolf Maniac, of the University of Heidelberg, is now a fugitive from the police. The charge against him Is one of murder. I know thnt the man is I walked there this morning to give the guilty; I believe him to be the victim of orders. I met Mr. Hermann cominc un a homicidal mania. from the quay. He is very fond of sail iug, he said, nnd had engaged a small trawler and two men, so that he can have a good blow when the weather per mits. He kept on rubbing his hands nnd beaming upon me, ns if he had struck upon some new idea which pleas ed him. I told him I thought be had done a very sensible thing, and that In juy opinion a great many cieicr men would write the better for a dose of fresh nir taken daily. He laughed a good deal nt this and compliment d me on my wit My wit! Think of that! As I knew there were plenty of chops In the house, I asked him to lunch, saying that my father, who was an invalid nnd could not go out much, would be delighted to make his acquaintance. He accepted at onco nnd wo walked back together. Later. Father says that Mr. Her mann is unusually well read, and that be had had a most Interesting talk with him. Yet he did not seem very en thusiastic about him. I hope they did not quarrel. It rather spoiled my tri utnnh. Father did not seem to have anything definite against him only a general impression that he was a queer fellow. I think this rather absurd. Sunday, Nov. 29. Mr. Hermnnn sat behind me at church this morning. He sang the hymns in a high voice that would have been amusing under ordinary circumstances. Alter church he walked with me some distance up the hill. He condoled with me on my lonely life, and that always annoys me. Indeed, I am "His mania is of an unusual type, be ing directed solely against his scien tific opponents. In the University Re view of Aucust last you criticised his book with extreme severity. Ho saw that number, for I have in my posses sion a copy of tho nrticle covered with the most dangerous threats against you in his own handwriting. Two distin guished scientists, Von Stockmar of Ilei delberg and Mechersky of St. Petersburg, who similarly attacked him in the papers, have already fallen victims to his ex traordinary cunning. You will observe, sir. the logical conclusion. Until he is captured you will be in danger. "For your personal information I may tell you that he is a man of over sixty years of age. When last seen he had a long beard which was of a silky white. He wears glasses, but his eyes are un usually keen and intelligent His b.nus are small and beautifully made, his fin ger nails beiug apparently mauicured. In whaterer disguise he may assume, he will probably continue to keep them in good condition. He may change his appear ance in many ways; but if you are in doubt of any pleasant stranger, I beg you to note his hands. "On receipt of your answer 1 am pre pared to come to you nt once.

The doctors were most particular in their instructions that nothing should over-ex cite him; I fear that the two might get Into some silly argument CHAPTER XIV. m .1 rn 1 TTnilr.v f l.to l.nn.l . diary Is a blank.

May God In His mercy help me, in His good time, to forget them! My father seemed no worse In the rooming, though by my persuasion he kent to his bed. His own room was on the ground floor for he had been for bidden to climb stairs and looked out upon the little garden nt the back of the cottage. Marjory had begged ofE for the after agreed, though this would into nlert activity. There may be many an English girl who loves her father ns dearly as I do mine, but there is never one of them that loves him more. I cau sar honestly that after that first great shock of fear my mind was swept clean of my own danger. For my father I was ready to meet death on his own ground, at his own terms, and try the issue. And yet my first act was ono of such folly that I can hardly bring myself to set It down. Perhaps it was that the anco? None, bo far ns I could see. "So I Imagine," I replied.

"She must suffer, then," ho muttered. "But If I had known! A girl It wns hardly worth the trouble." "Don't you think you had better go back to your inn?" I suggested. "Not until wo hnvo settled our littlo account together, dear lady. You aro young, yet young vipers can sting. Is it not better nt once to put nn end to their powers of mischief?" "let tho young can run where tho old cannot follow. I am nearer the door than you. At your first movement I shall bo clear of the house." "And leave your father as a hostage." Ills words struck me liko n blow. I swayed forward, gripping tho table with both hands. He could hevc seized mo then if he had wished; but he knew I wns in his power, nnd held away. "Do not forget thnt, dear lady," ho continued; "it must be either you or lilm. Thero Is no way of escape for both, I am afraid." I am writing down the facts as they occurred. I desire no credit for follow ing mv dutv. hat I did then, many thousands of girls would do to-day. For ! there remained no way out of tho pit into which we had fallen my father and I save one, and that I accepted gladly, readily. "Then take me," I said to him. "You have sadly upset my little ar rangements. I had not thought of so fair an offender. Let me see." He paus ed, softly rubbing his chin. There was a cat-like gratification about the creature as lie stood glancing at me from time to time, with a smile flickering on his thin lips; nnd nil tho while my soul wns searching, searching for tho way of escape that I could nut find.
