Deborah Scoville reads ' the newspaper clippings telling the story A/' ~£f the murder of Algernon Etheridge by ( John Scovilie in Dark Hollow,. twelve '* JTears before. The judge and Mrs. Sco- J' ' JUle meet at Spencer's Felly and she •hows blip how, on the day of the mur- »er, 8hJ&s{few the shadow of a man, whit- • Cling a. litfck and wearing a long peaked , .flap.

That Sight she finds. In Oliver's room, a cap Vlth a peak like the shadowed one', and fe knife with a broken blade-point. Anon- * imou» letters and a talk with Miss JV'eeks increase her suspicions and fears. She finds that Oliver was in the ravine On the murder night.

The Judge shows Deborah a statement written hy Oliver years ago telling how he saw ller husband murder Spencer at Spen- ©er's Folly on the night the house was ! *l>urned. A vain attempt to silence the inonymouB letter writer is made. " . CHAPTER XIV--Continued. "I didn't ask to see the ladies," pro- sted Flannagan, turning with a slink- lg gait toward the door. If they only had let him go! If the . jfcdge in his new self-confidence had Sot been so anxious to deepen the ef­ fect and make any future repetition of j -jttie situation impossible! "You understand the lady," he In- / ! • ferposed, with the quiet dignity which %as so imposing on the bench. "She. iJiyas no sympathy with your ideas and «b faith In your conclusions. She be- r 'illeves absolutely in my son's inno- -'ience." 1 ^ ^ "Do you, ma'am?" The man had .filmed and was surveying her with the fogged impudence of his class. "I'd Hke to hear you say It, if you don't mind, ma'am. Perhaps, then, I'll be­ lieve It." "I--" she began, trembling BO, that ;i*ihe failed to reach her feet, although «he made one spasmodic effort to do •O. "I believe--Oh, I feel ill! It's lwen too much--I--" her head fell for­ ward and she turned herself quite away from them all. "You see, she ain't so eager, Jedge. as you thoqght." laughed the bill-pos­ ter, with a clumsy bow he evidently meant to be sarcastic. "Oh, what have I done!" moaned Deborah, starting up as though she s *k>uld fling herself after the retreating >llgure, now half way down the ball. She Baw in the look of the Judge as lie forcibly stopped her, and heard in tbe lawyer's whisper as he bounded past them both to see the fellow out: "Useless; nothiag will bridle him jiow;" and finding no support for her despairing spirit either on earth or, as She thought, in heaven, she collapsed where she sat and fell unnoticed to the floor, where she lay prone at the feet at the equally unconscious figure of the judge, fixed in another attack of Ms peculiar complaint. And thus the lawyer found them *hen he returned from closing the gate behind Flannagan. • • • • » * "I cannot say anything, I cannot do anything till 1 have had a few words With Mrs. Scoville. How soon do you tllink 1 can tpeak to her?" "Not very soon. Her daughter sayB she is quite worn out Would It not be better to give her 4 rest for tonight, J^dge?" . The Judge, now quite recovered, but strangely shrunk and wan. showed no surprise at this request, odd as it was, OB the lips of this honest but some­ what crabbed lawyer, but answered out of the fullness of his own heart and torn tbe depths of his preoccupation: "My necessity is greater than her. The change I sav in her is inex­ plicable. ^One moment she was all fire And determination, satisfied of Oliver's innoceqfce and eager to proclaim it. The piext--buf you were with us. You witnessed her hesitation--felt its tojffe and what its effect was upon _ phe damnable scamp who has our hon­ or--the honor of the Ostranders under his tongue. Something must have pro- diced this change. What? good friend, what?" ^ "I.don't know any more than yon AG, Judge. But I think you are mis­ taken about the previous nature of her feelings. I noticed that she was not at peace with herself when she came into the room," "What's that?" The tone was Short, and for the first time irritable. "The change, if there was a change, was not so sudden as you think. She looked troubled, and as I thought, ir­ resolute when she eam« into tbe room." '• v' •' "Yoiu don't know her; you dori*t know what passed between us. She was all right then, bnt--go to her, Black. She must have recovered by this time. Ask her to come here for a minute. I won't detain her. I will wait for Her warning knock right here." ^ The judge had declared his neces­ sity to be greater than hers, and after Mr. Black had subjected him to one of hij most searching looks he decided that this was so, and quietly departed upon his errand. The judge left alone, sat, a brooding figure in his great chair, with no light in heart or mind to combat the shadows of approaching night settling heavier and heavier up­ on the room and uppn himself with every slow passing and intolerable minute. At last, when the final ray had de­ parted and darkness reigned supreme, there came a low knock on the door. Then a troubled cry: ""Oh, judge, are you here?? "Don't come any nearer; it hrnot necessary." A pause, then the quick question ringing hollow from the dark­ ness: "Why havetsyour doubts re­ turned? Why are you no longer the woman you were when not an hour ago and in this very spot you cried, 'I will be Oliver's advocate!'" Then, as no answer came--as minuteB passed, and siill no answer came, he spoke again and added: "I know that you are ill ?md exhausted--broken be­ tween du^ty a^d sympathy; but you must answer me, Mrs. Scoville. My affairs won't wait. I must know the truth and all the truth before this day is over." "You shall." Her voice sounded hol­ low, too, and, oh, how weary! "You allowed the document you showed me W/MM where she will be safe /rum the utorra which bids fair to wreck us here. No. don't speak; Just ask Mr. Black to re­ turn, Will you?" When Mr. glack 're-entered the study, it was to find the room lighted c.nd the Judge bent over the table, writ­ ing. "You are going to send for Oliver?" he queried. The judge hesitated, then motion­ ing Black to sit. said abruptly: "What is Andrews' attitude in this matter?" Andrews was Shelby's district attor­ ney. Black's answer was like the man. "I saw him for one minute an hour ago. I think, at present, he is inclined to be both deaf and dumb, but if he's driven to action, be will act. And, judge, the man Flannagan isn't going to stop where he is." : * "Black, be merciful to my misery. What does this man know? Have you any idea?" "No, judge, I haven't. He's as tight a* a drum--and as noisy. It is possible^ --just possible that he's as empty. A few days will tell." "I cannot wait tot a few days. I hardly feel as if I could wait a few hours. Oliver must dome, even if--if the consequences are likely to be fatal. An Ostrander once accused cannot skulk. Oliver has been accused and --l?end that!" he quickly cried, pulling forward the telegram be had written. Mr. Black took up the telegram and read: Come at once. Imperative. No delay and no excuse. ARCHIBALD OSTRANDER "Mrs. Scovillo will supply the ad dress," continued the poor father "You will see that it goes, and that its sending is kept secret. The answer, if any is sent, had better be directed to your office. What do you say. Black?" "I am your friend, right straight through, judge. Your friend." "And my boy's adviser?" "I'm a surly fellow, judge,* t have known you all these years, yet I've never expressed--never said what I even find it hard to say now, that-- that my esteem Is something more than esteem; that--that I'll , do any­ thing for" you, judge." "I--we won't talk of that. Black. Tell Mrs. Scoville to keep* me informed --and bring mo any message that may come. The boy, even if he leaves the first thing in the morning, cannot get here before tomorrow night." "Not possibly." "He will telegraph. I shall hear from him. O God! the hours I must wait; my boy! my boy!" It was nature's irrepressible cry. Black pressed bis hand and went out with |W telegram. She Lay at the Feet of the Uncon­ scious Figure of the Judge. to remain a little too long before my eyes. That last page--need I say it?" "Say it." "Shows--shows change. Judge Os­ trander. Some words have- been erased and new ones written in, They are not many, but--" "I understand. I do not blame, you, Deborah." The words came after a pause and very softly, almost as sofUy as her own, but which had sounded Us low knell of doom through the darkness. "Too many stumbling- blocks in your way, Deborah; too much to combat. The most trusting heart must give way under such a strain. That page was tampered with. 1 tam pered with it myself. I am not ex at forgery. I had better have left as he wrote it." Then after another silence, he added, with a certain ve­ hemence: "We will struggle no long­ er, either you or I. The boy must come home. Prepare Reuther, or. if you think best, provide a place for her tam- xp*rt •ft It. CHAPTER XV. * • '• 1 • • . He Must Be Found, Next morning an agitated confab took place at the &ate, or rather be­ tween the two front gates. Mr. Black rang for admittance, and Mrs. Sco­ ville answered the call. "One moment, Mrs. Scoville. How car I tell the judge! Young Ostrander is gone--fled the city, and I can get no clue to his whereabouts. I have been burning the telegraph wires ever since the first dispatch, and this is the reoult. Where is Reuther?" "At Miss Weeks, i had to coipmand her to leave me alone with the Judge. It's the first time I ever spoke un­ kindly to her. Have you the messages with you?" He bundled them into her hand. "I will hand them in to him. We can do nothing less and nothing more. Then if he wants ycu, I will tele­ phone." "Mrs. Scoville--•" she felt his hand laid softly on her shoulder--"there is some one else in this matter to con­ sider besides Judge Ostrander." "Reuther? Oh, don't 1 know It! She's not out of my mind a moment." "Reuther is young, and has a gallant boul. I mean you, Mrs. Scoville, you. You are not to succumb to this trial. You have a future--a bright future-- or should have. Do not endanger it by giving up all your strength now. It's precious, that strength, or would be--" "He must be fotind! Oliver must be found!" How the words rung in her ears. She had handed in tbe mes­ sages to the waiting father; she had uttered a word or two of explanation, and then, at his request, had left him But his last cry followed her: "He must be found!" Mr. Black looked serious. "Pride or hope?" he asked. "Desperation," she responded, with a guilty look about her. "Possibly, some hope is in it, too. Perhaps, he thinks that any charge of this nature must fall before Oliver's manly ap­ pearance. Whatever he thinks, there is but one thing to do: Find Oliver." "Mrs. Scoville, the police have started upon that attempt. 1 got the tip this morning." "We must forestall them. To satisfy the judge. Oliver must come of his own accord to face these charges." "It's a brave stock. If Oliver gets his father's' telegram he will come." "But how are we to reach him! We are absolutely in the dark." "If 1 could go to Detroit. I might strike some clue; but I cannot leave the judge. Mr. Black, he told me this morning when I carried in his break­ fast that he should see no one and go nowhere ti}l I brought him word that Oliver was in the house. The hermit life has begun again. What shall we do? Advise me to this emer­ gency. for I feel as helpless as a child --as a lost child " "You saj you cannot go to Detroit. Shall I go? Court is adjourned I know of nothing more important than Judge Ostrander's peace of mind--un­ less it is yours. I will go if you say so." "Will it avail? iit me think. I knew him well, and yet not weir enough to know where he would be most likely to go under impulse " "There is some one who knows hint better than you do." "Reuther? Oh, she nUfstat be told--" "Yes, she must. She's our one ad- viter. Go for her--or send me." "It won't be necessary. There's her ring at the gate. But, oh. Mr. Black, think again before you trouble this fragile child of mine with doubts an'* questions which make her mother tremble." "She has scurees of strength which you lack. She believes atwolutely in Oliver's integrity: It will carry her through." "Please let her In, Mr. Black. I will wait here while you tell her." Mr. Black hurried from the room. ^Wlieh his form became visible on the Walk without, Deborah watched him- from where sho stood far back in the room. A staff had been put in her hand, rough to tha touch, b~t firm under pressure, and she needed such a staff. But she forgot gratitude and every, lesser emotion in watching Reuther's expression. The young girl, running into her arms, burst t>ut with the glad cry: "Oliver is no longer in Detrpit, but he's wanted here, and Mr. Black and I are going to find him. I think 1 know where to look Get me ready, mother dear; we are going tonight." "But," objected Deborah, "If you know where to look for him, why take the child? Why go yourself? Why not telegraph to these places?" His answer was a look, quick, sharp and enigmatical enough to require ex­ planation. He could not give it to her then, but later, when Reuther had left them, he said: "Men who fly their engagements and secrete themselves, with or without a pretext, are not so easily reached. We shall have to surprise Oliver Os­ trander, in order to place his father's message in bis handB." "You may be right. But Reuther? Can she stand the excitement--the physical strain?" 1 "You have the harder task of tbe two, Mrs. Scoville. Leave the little one to me. She shall not suffer." Deborah's response was eloquent. It was only a look, but it made his harsh features glow and his hard eye soften. But his thoughts, if not his hopes, receive 1 a check when, wkb every plan made and Reuther in trembling anticipation of the journey, he en­ countered the triumphant figure of Flannagan coming out of police head­ quarters. His jaunty air, his complaisant nod, admitted of but one explanation. He had told his story to the chief authori­ ties and been listened to. Proof that he had something of actual moment to tell them; something which the dis­ trict attorney's office might feel bound to take up. , - • • • ' • • • A Bight of stars, seen through sway* ing treetops whose leaves crisping to their fall, murmured gently of van^ ished hopes and approaching death- Below, a long, low building with a lighted window here and there, sur­ rounded by a heavy growth of trees which are but the earnest of the Il­ limitable stretch of the Adirondack woods which painted darkness on the encircling horizon. Within, Reuther seated In the glow, of a hospitable fire of great logs, talk­ ing earnestly to Mr. Black. As they were placed, he could see her much better than she could see him, bis back being to tbe blase and she. In Its direct glare. He could, therefore, study her fea­ tures without offense, and this he did steadily and with deep interest, all the while she was talking. He was look­ ing for signs of physical weakness or fatigue; but he found none. The pallor of her features was a-natural pallor, and in their expression, new forces were becoming apparent, which gave him encouragement, rather than anxiety, fo** the adventure whose most trying events lay still before them. This is what she was saying: "I cannot point to any one man of the many who have been about us ever since we started north. But that we have been watched and our route followed, I feel quite convinced. But, as you saw, no one besides ourselves left the cars at this station, and I am beginning to hope that we shall re­ main unmolested till we can take the trip to Tempest lodge. How far is it, Mr. Black?" .

He placed them on top of the refrigerator in the back hall. That was a good place for them to spend the night. It was along toward midnight that the son came home. The rest of the family was abed and asleep. As the son stole into the pantry for his usual forage before retiring he heard a crash and then a crawling, sickening scrim­ mage that started his hair upright. He eneaked quickly through the kitchen and up the stairs to his father's cham­ ber. "Hey, dad!" in a husky whisper, that brought awakening by its very tense­ ness, "pass me your gun." "Huh? What's up?" asked his father as he reached for and handed over the weapon. "Burglars," whisgered the son in awe-struck tones. "They've got in at the back door and are trying-to open the door Into the kitchen." "Dad" followed his son softly down the stairs without stopping for further arguments or garments. Son walked cannily ahead with leveled revolver: and pale face. They reached the kitchen and, listening, could hear strange sounds in tbe back hall. Lights were flashed and then with caution and ready for the shock of discovery they opened the door.

FOR IDEAL OF RECREATION - v tabject That Is Worthy of Much More ^ Study Than Is Generally, :7;r-\ ~ Given to It W.i'f ' ---- : What women throughout the coantry need is ft freer association with other women whose standards, social. Intellectual and moral, are higher than their own, writes Anne Morgan in the Woman's Home Companion. As a peo­ ple we are too inclined to seek a lower standard for our recreation, to level 4*wn. We seek a companionship where no intellectual effort is neces- chccse a theater where the entertainment furnishe^ is a popular musical comedy, rather than a play with literary merit, interpreted by tal- anted actors. Certain popular maga- sines with large circulation contain stories and articles utterly valueless til Quality; oth<;r publications contain­ ing literary and historical contribu­ tions by Berious authors reach but few htunes. In our recreation, as in our work, we want immediate results with a minimum of effort; to be entertained CSMrftUy mcMft to be relaxed. The tV ««ry: splendid rest and refreshment that comes witb'a great, but different, intel­ lectual or physical effort is known oniy to the few.

Head Bookkeeper Must Be^ Reliable* The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee and tea did for him: "My wife and I dra*nk our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way: "I had an attack of pneumonia, which left me with dyspepsia, or neu­ ralgia of the stomach. My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea. but 1 became convinced, aftfr a time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give f%8tum a trial. "Next day it came, and we liked it so much that we will never change back; for I am a well man today and have used no medicine. "My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co's branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my cof­ fee drinking days I was subject to nervousness and the 'blues' in addi­ tion to my sick spells. These have left me since I began using Postum and I can conscientiously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exei^ tion."
