Gideon Hope started. Its mention aroused some bint, some vague memory o f the past. - It was an unusual nam e: where had be heard it before? under what circum stances connected with a dark chapter in the black life o f this man o f plots and cruelty ? Before his perturbed mind could focus and connect the loose ends o f the dim chain o f retrospect, a silken swish again swept the atmosphere. A shadow crossed the draperies, they pirted. The woman o f the tragic face and fathomless eyes stood in their presence, statuesque and im pressive as before. Uncompromising sternness was in the glance she bestowed on Kane. H e es sayed a fam iliarity that was uneasy de spite his audacity. “ This gentleman," he said slnrringly with a light gesture towards Hope, “ dis putes my statement that you are my w ife.” “ H e need not,” coldly returned the Toman. “ I*roof.

That is. he knew whp this woman was. he “ remembered.” the name “ Marsden” supplied the missing link— this woman was the daughter o f that unfortunate man. Gabriel Marsden. who intruding up on Kane at the acme o f his greatness with threatening fierceness, had been sent to jail on a trumped up charge, and, for all Kane knew, languished there nqw. or was a wanderer, a fugitive, with a broken life and blasted energies. And this woman— K lita— was the fair, innocent girl Kane had wedded in a dis tant Ohio town, deserted, placed in an insane asylum, and then, securing a di vorce by fraudulent means, forgot her, until the fateful day when her father brought him word to have a care for him self. for she bad escaped and was "on his t r a il!" A Nemesis, tr u ly !— dimfy. but with a half-suspicion that she was Kane’s gaoler. H ope began to read between the lines. “ Is that all?” fe’ l from the woman's lips in hard, metallic tones. “ Yes.” bowed Kane aimply. and d ie de parted w ith the same uncanny tread that had signaliaed her appearance at his hail. Hope drew a perplexed hand across bin clammy forehead. H e almost unconsci ously dropped to the chair that had been ¡»offered by Kane. Voidly he gaaed at the schemer who always seemed to bare some strong trump card in reserve. “ E x p la in !’ be said in cracked, dry tone*. Knne laughed jarringly. On the table near by was a skein o f silk, lying beside some fancy embroidery work, carelessly left there. It seemed, by some feminine worker o f the household. , W ith his deft, nervous fingers, Kane seised it. twirled, twisted, disarranged it. A hopeless mass o f mingled threads, he cast it into Hope's lap. “ A tangle— a rid d le!’ he scoffed— “ as soon hope to solve the enigma to which I alone ran furnish the key.” " A challenge?” cried Hope wrathlly. “ You fo r g e t: I have found y o u !

Even o f half o f that you robbed me— the severed bonk notes. — W ell, you had cut my daws, for without money I was at the law’s mercy. Still, I proved myself a resource ful man.

Hope gnashed bis teeth, but he tried to content himself for the sake o f ths facta Kane might divulge. “ I am going to tell you a little history," proceeded Kane, “ because I have a point to gain— because-I have a compact, a bar gain, to make with you.” “ N o !” declared Hope, uncompromising ly- “ But— yen. F or her sake, for Claire’s sake, you know P Hope was shaken. H e paled. He dis cerned the precipice towards which he was hastening— was being hastened by the sheer villainous force o f this man’s cool and calculating finesse. He had pulled this man down, and now be could at his will send him to the gal lows, he believed. Hia sworn holy duty bad been to run down this man. He had been baffled, circumvented. Now at the final ending he was diverted from his ori ginal purpose— for a woman’s sake! “ Speak !” he said mandatorily. “ V ery w ell," answered Kane, somewhat more seriously. “ I determined to abandon the field when you secured the half o f the bank notes, though I was not entirely penniless, and as I vaunted there was Claire. W hile you were resting on your oars in fancied security I had hastened to my pretty secretary. My will seemed to be her law— I only knew later your hideous plot in which hatred and revenge alone actuated her. I placed her in . the hands o f a trusted friend while I hastened my arrangements to wed her and fly the country and you. I had not heeded mad old Gabriel Marsden's threat. Yon might say at the very altar Klita, the woman you just saw, confronted me. She Was my Nemesis. She had learned o f the pre carious position I was in— she was armed. I t was exposure, betrayal, death— or I must wed her. Worse than that, she had baffled me concerning Claire. She bad lured her away to an isolated place, bid put her in charge o f an accomplice, a wo man knitted to her by ties o f unwavering fidelity. Thus was I baffled. She brought me here— I dared .not defy her— and I knew she had proofs— that is, the disposi tion |o doom me by the law if I resisted her commands. Thus far she combined with m e: to • have you imprisoned, in hopes o f securing the half o f the severed hank notes that you had secured posses s I ob of. I promised1 to go with her to some foreign country If she succeeded. But she she did not trust me. She has made me a continual captive, as you see.” “ And C laire?” eagerly insisted Hope, with lustrous eyes o f anxiety— and love. Kane shrugged bis shoulders. “ W ell.” he said, annoyedly gnawing the ends o f his moustache, conscious o f being a baffled, beaten man, “ She has the per severance and fierceness o f a tigress— in fact, she has kept Claire, too. a prisoner.” “ W here?” Kane smiled provokingly at the ingenu ous eagerness o f the other. “ Do you suppose I would tell yoa that?” be inquired sardonically. “ A fte r all the wrongs yon have done M m C H A P T E R X X II.

Hope felt the spur o f action like a sudden dag ger thrust. The unsuspected agent o f destruction repotted, according to the dynamite agent, in a closet in a room at the Vandyke House at M urryville, now about ten miles distant, and when it exploded acores — a hundred— lives might be blotted o u t! The urgency, the horror o f the affair consumed Hope— he unceremoniously dashed from the room, leaving Kane a stal ed at the motive o f hia audden evanish- ment. H e heard Kane call out sharply to the 'wom an: “ E lita— It Is Hope, that man. Rouw yoar friends. H e knows a l l !’’ And a minute later, as he sped by the window outside, Hope shot a glance past its waving curtains to see the woman roused to excitement and rushing Into the apartment occupied by her husband to learn more o f hia meaning. “ I f they have accomplices in reach, 1 shall be pursued.” reasoned Hope. So he did not pursue the open road, but striking through the dense brnah- esti mated the precise direction in which Mur ryville lay, and amid the vigor o f intense excitement and resolution disdained all obstacle^ that lay in his way. A strange, new sense of exultation po* sessed his soul as he dashed madly on— coherent, cjear-cut purposes were out lined in his thoughts, o f tactical, logical sequences. Thus, he seemed to see the work o f a forward twelve hours all mark ed out and executed through time and en deavor— he would' secure, dispose o f the fearful explosive out o f harm’s way. Then a bold, uncompromising descent on the lonely haunt o f the strangely mated bus hand and wife. And then— C la ire! There was the star o f hope at the eon o f the long venture.

The end was nearer, tragically nearer, than Gidaon Hope fancied. It was an uncanny hour when, torn by briers and mud bespattered and bruised from frequent folia, he entered the silent town o f M urryville. A t the hotel, a light horned only in the office, where half slumbered the tired night clerk. Warren . Gideon’s fellow captive In the private madhouse, had fully equipped him for the contingency o f haring to proceed alone for the satchel o f dynamite. ( T o be continued.)

THE WEEKLY Eggs are SO cents a dozen, because the hens don’t )ay. Th e inpin reason why they don’t lay is because this is not tne natural laying season.
