story make, Harris
I can fall it out to half a column, an
swered the person to, looking up from
his desk.
"Make all you can ol it. We'll need
every bit we can pet.
It was just then that Marsh came in.
"Got a irood story here, Mr. Camp
bell; how much space can I have?" he
said, strippinc off his coat.
All you want," returned the city
editor, a half smile replacing tht
frown his face had worn. ".Now, that, .
what I call luck!" he added. "What'
it about?"
You remember the Kremer mur
der?"
"Yes, well enough!"
"Well, they've pot them; at least,
they think they have. The police in
the Twenty-third precinct arrested a
fellow to-day who turned out to be
Uoch, the German who was with
Kremer the nip ht the murder occurred;
and the circumstantial evidence is
stroncr, they say. Let's see; how lonj?
ago was it that the murder happened
Twelve years, I think."
"Just about," said Campbell, men
tally checking- off the time. "It ought
to make a good yarn. Do your best
with it."
Marsh nodded and fell to work.
For a time only the scratching of a
pen broke silence in the room. Then
the city editor suddenly said: "I say,
Marsh, s'pose you see the Sphinx about
that story. Ten to one, he has some
thing filed away about it. If he has
wnd can give a good history of the
crime, let him do it. You do the story
of the arrest and make it as circum
stantial as you can. We'll see if we
can't save thatfronV page from stagna
tion somehow."
"All right," answered Marsh, as he
dropped his pen and rose from his seat.
"Perhaps the old man can give us a
beat on the story," lie jokingly added,
as he turned to go.
The city editor laughed. The idea
of the .Sphinx supplying such a thing
as a "beat" was too absurd to take se
riously, for ho had never been any
thing but a machine, grinding out ad
denda and obituary notices in non
pareil type since he became a member
of the Globe staff three vears before.
He was, according to his fellow labor
ers, a "queer Jot." None of them pro
fessed to know him better after that
lapse of time than when he first came
among them and was given charge of
the newspaper clippings, which were
filed away daily and made use of again
whenever a new event recalled an old
subject.
Spiritless and silent, always faith
fully executing what was given him to
do, but never offering a suggestion,
and in no instance mingling in the
amusements or conversation of his
companions, he had been dubbed the
Sphinx before lie was in the ofiice a
week, and the sobriquet Imd clung to
him anil seemed thoroughly to fit him.
John Hardin was the way he was en
tered on the pay-roll, und the most
that anyone knew of him was that he
lived by himself In a bare room near
the Globe building and took his meals
at a neighboring eating-house. He
seemed in nave no relatives and no
ni'qiiaiiitatii-i'H, except of the uoddino;
sort.
Marsh walked over to the little
cubbyhole of u room the Sphinx occu
pied, quietly oiH'tied the door and
stepped inside. ir all the jukes they
iked at Hardin la-hind his buck, there
mn a certain Muiu-t hing nleiut liitn
which compelled rcr.ject when they
were In hi preMMice. And so Marsh
when this limn looked up from aome
clippinirH over which he was bending

in addressing the dreaded magazine
editor: "Mr. Hardin, I have the story

ginning with H that he hunted. "It
must be here!" he kept murmuring to
himself. "It ought to be here! Why
can't I find it?"
Then he ran the pages over again.
They fluttered from his withered
fingers winding. sheets on which were
written the names of those dead and
gone, of events recollection of which
had long since faded from the minds
of most men. But they did not yield
the name he sought. "It's strange,"
he said. "This is a complete record; it
has never been wanting before. Why
can't I find it? They must have known
about it when it happened."
Then, all at once, one of his hands
slipped from the biok, and his head
dropped among the leaves, crushing
them flat; and tears ran between the
thin fingers outspread there.
lie remained there for some time.
Only the clicking of the telegraph
instrument in the news room, a dull
hum of voices from the rooms beyond
where a discussion was going on, and
an occasional question asked and
answered in the local room came to
his ears; and even those lie did not
hear. Then a bell began to boom the
hour, and mechanically he counted the
strokes.
Eleven o'clock! The fact, dully im
pressed on his mind, awoke him to a
sudden sense of the work before him.
He raised .Vis head. His face was
drawn, and his eyes, swollen as their
lids were from tears, seemed to have
sunk in their sockets. He sat for a
moment, looking at the book before
him. The leaf that was uppermost,
was one that he had scanned many
times before. At its top was printed
the letter II.
A minute later he had drawn a large
bundle of copy-paper toward him and
was writing on it. He wrote slowly at !
first, almost laboriously. But soon his
pen jnoved more quickly, and sheet
aftei sheet of the paper was covered
and pushed to one side.
Hardin's pen moved unceasingly.
When midnight struck he was work
ing with a fierce energy which told of
a purpose that defied fatigue. Hut he
sent up no "copy" to the composing
room as he wrote; the pages acccutnu-
lated on his desk in a careless heap.
It was after 12:30 when he dropped
his pen and sunk back in his chair for
a minute. But it was only for a min
ute. Then he picked up the bundle of
copy, roughly rearranged it, wrote
I so all Hush at the ton of the first
sheet, and sent it upstairs by a boy.
He put on his overcoat, turned off
the incandescent ligh and walked into
the local room and to the city editor's
ileslt. ".Mr. t ampbell, he saiil. In a
low voice, I nave to go out. 1 guess
you won't need me any more
"No, not to-night," replied Campbell.
"You've sent up a great story of that
Kremer murder, Marsh tell me. In it
a lieat?"
'Yes, it's a a beat," said the other.
There was mingled sadness and bitter
nets In his tones.
"liimd night," Campbell answered,
not noticing anything.
"(iood night," repeated Hardin.
Then lie turned and walked toward
the door. But in the doorway he
paused, and then came back to Camp
bell a desk
"Mr. CampWll," he said, earnestly,
'I have never lied to you?'
"Why, no!" exclaimed Camptiell in
surprise.
"Well, and I'm not lying now. Re-
tnciiiWr, whatever you may think of
me, I have told the truth
"if course!" mi id the city editor,
Mursli's words recurring to him. Har
din certainly was losing bis grip. The
Sphinx turned awny. And this time
walked out the door and down the
stairway to the street.
Hull an hour later there was great
excitement In the t.lob ofiice. The
