Ringwold and Badog.
MWhne is Haiel, wife?'1
'8he hat gone to the 111."
"Did Captain Budlong go?"
"Ym, he went with oar llasel."
"Ik ia good. They would maka
ne match, wife. I would like to see
Haael marry well. 1 would dielike to
have tier marry a common fliherman.
Wife. I am not feeling well tonight. 1
fear that the young militia surgeon
doea not know the tiuth. I believe
that blood poisoning it setting In."
Thue spoke old Keadog to hit wife.
Strong as waa the constitution ol the
powerful man it had Iwgnn to yltdd
and he waa first to detect it. Ilia
blood buined in ita channels. A
weakening, nervous sensation took pos
session of him. At times he could not
distinguish the real from the imagin
ary, twadog was a teiy eit k man.
vera I times that night he had sunk
Into spasmodic slumber. He could
beat the dashing of the waves, the
cteakii g of the oara in their lucks, the
thouta of the fishermen and the crack
of rifles. Then he would atart with
a groan as the hot blood burned Itself
against the fevered particles which
were gradually decaying about the
wound in hi body. Then the poisoned
life-fluid would rush forth to the heart
furnace for purification, when it would
be sent out more sluggish than ever to
feed a burning system.
The heart beats increased . the fever
rose higher and higher. Old Hcariog
felt hia senses failing. The leal be
came mo-e fanciful and the imaginary
became more real 1st tc. He finally fell
into delirium. It was then that his
tongue spoke words that sounded
strange to his wife's ears
"Yea, Nelson Saarela, I won out over
yout I swore falmdy, but I wonl You
were sent to Siberia and I sained the
war's favor. I also won in the con
tested will case and brought the money
to America where I have invested it
well. You were druggist to the czar,
but the apprentice in the great estab
lishment drew the winning card
came near to losing it though. Those
hateful southsideral But Sankalat
She ia a brave gill. This burning in
my aidel Borne one ia prodding me
with a hot ironl Help, Help!"
'Husband I Hosbsndi" cried Mrs
8eadog. She seized her companion's
hands and rubbed them violently.
"What has happened?" inquired the
tick man.
"Yoa have grown worse. You said
euch stianife things."
"What did I say? I fear my condi
tion. wife."
"You spoke of Kelson Saarela and a
will
"Nelson Saarela! I have not ottered
the name for 20 years.
A gloom settled about the room that
caused the man to ask why the light
was so dim. A deadness in his limbs
caused Mm' to suspect that he was
growing worse. The sullen flow of
his blood told him that unlesa a change
came his hours were few for this earth.
"Wife, send fot eld Ringwold. After
all he knows more a' out medicine than
all of the doctors in this conntiy.
Send for old Ringwold and be shall tejl
me whether or not I am receiving
proper treatment."
One of the boys was sent to tvquest
. the aeed man to come.' It was the first
time in his life of nearly 20 years in
the village that he had been invited to
the Seadog home.
When left alone again the sick man
inquired of his wife:
"Did you Bay I mentioned Nelson
Baarela and a will?"
"Yes, and yoa said something about
Siberia and America and money," re
plied Mrs. Seadog.
The old man looked about the room
in. bewilderment for a few moments and
then dropped into a semi-conscious
state. His tongue began to give utter
ance to strange things again.
He SDoke of the ship which had
atranded upon the island nearly twenty
years before, the one which had
brought Sankala and old Ringwold to
the country. He spoke of some papers
which he had found aboard the wreck.
"I know he was lostl" he muttered.
"I know he was lost. It is too late
now to do him justice."
He continued in this strain until the
arrival of Ringwold. The feeble old
. druggist was conducted to the bedside
of the sick man, and sat upon the bed
from sheer exhaustion. In the. faint
gloom of the light he looked more like
a ghoot than a human being. His long
gray hair and beard concealed his feat-
ores. But his sharp, keen eyes glist
ened with onusual brightness.
The old man placed his trembling
fingers upon Seadog's wrist. Then he
moved his hand to the sick man's breast
and placed it ovei his heart. A fiend
ish smile lit op bis face as he felt the
flattering and spasmodic beating of the
organ
' He diew a byperdermio syringe from
his Docket and filled it with fluid
Then he injected it into Seadog's arm
Several minutes of silence followed
Ringwold kept his seat on the side of
' the bed. He finally broke the silence,
'Bring the lamp," he said.
, While young Seadog held the lamp
and the wife looked on with anxiety
Rinw&old shook the sick man. . He
pushed back the eyelids and exposed
th'e pupils which were greatly enlarged
"He died in Siberia and hia brother
went down at sa!" muttered Seadog.
Another smile lit up the countenance
of Ringwold. He placed hia hand over
the heart of Seadog again. He played
with the man as would a cat play with
a mouse. But the feeble little fellow
looked more like the nious and the
prostrate form of the wealthy Usher
man resembled that of a giant, in com
paileon.
"Old Ringwold has his eyes, but he
is not the man. No. he is not the
nranl" spoke out Seadog in plain
words.
Again the grlsiled old man smiled
almost to a stage villain's chuckle.
Mrs. Seadog turned pale. Young Hea
dog waa mystified.
Ringwold alowly bent his botly until
he could place his mouth near Seadog's
ear. He spoke in an ordinary toue oi
voice:
"Charlie, you neglected to sweep out
this morning!"
8eidog opened his eyes as if by mag
ic. He gated into the face of Ring
wold for a moment and then exclaimed:
"Seise Saarela. druitglst to the
csarl"
"Yes, and back from Siberia and on
to America that he might compel
Charles Seadog to render an account
ingt" fairly hissed the old nun.
The meeting waa too much for the
strength of either, Seadog iU into a
silent reUm and old Kipgwold drop
ped strops his body in a hysterical fit.
It was then that young Headog called
to a neighbor and sent him to the hll
room for aid.
CHAPTER XXIV.
A Fins'. Accounting.
With the dawning of morning there
were many rumors afloat In the village,
the story of Settdog'a relapse, the send
ing for old Ringwold, and the dying
condition of the two men had reached
the public ear. Stoiles of mysterious
disclosures weie also being told and
the people were wrought up to nnusual
excitement.
It was known that Captain Budlong
had remained at the place all night;
that Pankala was there and that the
militia surgeon had been kept busy and
that about daylight old Bumbo, the
lawyer, had been tent for. '
Sankala and Dan Lapham had also
been seen to visit the Ringwold cabin,
and they had taken a large bundle of
papers to the Seadog home.
The interior ol the Seadog house pre
sented an interesting picture. On a
bed lay old Headog calm and weak.
He waa breathing easily and his physi
cal suffering had been lulled by heroic
scientific treatment. Put the agony
which racked his brain ia indescribable
f t ia only those who have suffered with
a guilty conscience while looking death
in the face that could properly sympa
thize with Charles Seadog.
On another hed In the same room lay
the aeod Rinwgold. . He bad nnder
gone a complete change. The feeble
old form which had for so many years
responded to the appeals of life and
raised itself np as though coming from
the grave, had reclined to rise no tore.
II is woik waa over. Ilia mission was
ahont performed. Yet hia brain was
as clear aa aicll; Ilia eyea as bright
as youth.
Seadou a family hovered about him
The surgoen stood at hia bedside.
Bumbo, the lawyer, sat at a table near
by.
Bankala held her aged protector's
hand. Dan Lapham stood at the foot
of Ringwold'a bed. Captain Budlong
was at the door to answer the questions
of the curious.
"Tell the whole troth, Charles, tel
it all. I have proved to you that Ban
kala ia hia child. She ia entitled to
hia interest in the property. Do fair
by hei npon your soull"
Bo spoke old Ringwold, uebly but
encouragingly to Seadog.
"After my return from Siberia I
looked np the boy. I nad located yon
long before. When I got the papera
arranged I persuaded him to come with
me to America: but he had marrying
on the brain and would not come nntil
the ceremony waa perfomed and his
young bride was ready to come," contin
ued Ringwold. "We were all poor in
finances and had to take the old sail
boat. The voyage was a long one and
the child, Sankala, was born on board
the vessel. The surgeon of the craft
made out a birth certificate and Bumbo
has it there. I took it from the hands
of the child's mother aa the ship went
down and have kept it ever since.
"She is the only heir and entitled to
his share of the property. The other
papers will show what this ia. I re
ceived the final document yeatarday.
Bumbo has them. To justice, Beadog
do justice, upon yor.r soul, tell It all!'
Beadog'a very Momenta were num
bered. The Tound wbun ne bad re
ceived la the last encounter with the
southslde fishermen had developed
case of blood poisoning and no power
on earth now could save him. Of this,
be was fully Informed. While the fact
that he waa about to face the final trl
bunal where man la called npon to give
an accounting, may have had some
thing to do with softening Seadog
heart, he waa confronted with the evl
dence of his wrongs on earth and of the
Inst rights of others.
He told the story of how he had
wronged Sankala'a father ; how he had
willfully caused Bingwold's exile to &i
beiia and how he had fled to America
with hia 111 got ten gains. Of his err
molationa here, hia auditors already
knew. He had learned of the sailing
of SanleVa father and mother from
the old country and had found their
names on the ship's register, and know
ing that they were dead, and having no
knowledge of the birth of Ssnkala,
thought all trouble from that source
had ended.
When he had completed his story,
which waa i educed to writing by Bum
bo, he was completely exhausted, but
the merciless attorney Insisted on a
further statement.
"Seadog, you are in your right
senses, are you not?"
"ea," came the reply feebly.
"You realise that the end is ap
proaching?" "I do," replied the dying man.
"You make this statement as ynnr
dying declarat ion," Insisted the tech
nical hmo of the law.
"I do."
"Well, one moment more, Beadog.
There Is still more left undone. You
might as well make a clean breast of It
while you are at it. You remember,,
a a a . a r l.i ' '

Well, I have the evidence lea ly to
bring action to have it ant aside. You
know the old man was drunk and didn't
know what he was doing? You knw
there waa no money paid and no con- (
sideratlon for deeding the property to ,
you upon which this town is built?
You lememliei all of this, do you not,
Headog? Make a clean breast ol it, tall

of Ringwold was heard, as he made a

lasfiiug Sankala in his arm, he whie-
in-red "My mission Is performed and
Uhtice done at Ut." I
The deathly silence of the loom was
only broken by the sobs of the grief
stricken girl, as old Ringwold p.'d
nto the sleep that knows no waking.
Within another hour ( harlrs N-a-
og's soul had also departed from the
body, and such a spirit of gloom hung
over the little fishing village as had
never visited it before.
