NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XXVI, "Then, I shall have to apeak plain- ly," said Riggs "You don't place your late uncle on quite so high a pedestal a8 his sister does?" "No--to be equally frank--I don't. I never liked my uncle, but aside from that, I always felt he was--oh, pshaw, 1 hate to e2y it--was a little--" "Go on." "Well, understand. I mean thought, I feared rather, that there | were some traneactions in which he; was engaged that wouldn't stand the epparent friends--and over he had such a fearful hold that they were forced to pay him his price or be ed." - "This is strong talk, Mr. Pelton." "But it ie true talk.

"And, too, for your aunt's sake, you hesitate to bring forth this new mean, these bed | side to the tragedy?" "Oh, partly for aunt's sake, but more because I feel this way about it. It seems to me that the men my uncle made miserable suffered enough, answer for a murder that they didn't commit.

T know of two or three, but there may easily be more whom I do not know. Any one of them may be the murderer." "Complicated situation. And yet, have we a choice. in the matter?
