chapter VIII
—6—
The point of vit*.v is 'ni^°rtant In
our life—-especially the Idea that you
yourself hold of yourself. This being
held in trust—a prisoner sentenced to
an indefinite term of solitary luxury—
was one thing—a very weary thing
Indeed; but on the other hand how
different, and how much more sinister
the life sentence of a prisoner insane
—to be held till death for the necessi-
ties and unknown purposes of Sixty
Million.
Judged insane! By some court, no
doubt! If so. some one must have se-
cured the judgment—and that some
one was not far to seek. This man
who had Just left her was one person
Interested, quite obviously—and Jas-
per Haig must be another. She was
certain now of what she had so long
suspected, that no appeal was possible
to him.
She had In fact very little Idea
where she could turn next, when on
another evening not Ions afterward,
she observed the peculiar actions of
her dog, standing at the outside door
of the empty study on the second floor
again. When she saw khis, with a
curious mixture of fear and adven-
turousness she snapped on the light
again and opened the heavy door. It
was a surprise, and yet not entirely a
surprise, to find there, the unknown
young man of the former evening—the
tall, quite handsome man with pleas-
ant eyes and agreeable address.
"Hello, Adelaide,*' he said. "You
see, I had to run In to see how the
world was treating you once more.
How are you, my dear?" he asked and
shook hf»r hand warmly. Yet his eves,
she felt now, had underneath the sur-
face kindness a deeper hardness in
them.
"Shall we be alone here," he asked
her, "for a little while?"
"Why, yes," she said, and In spite of
the natural caution demauded by the
circumstances, she shut the door be-
hind her.
He kept looking at her, studying
ber all the time with those eyes of
bis with their curious double expres-
sion ; those naturally kindly eyes with
the hard judgment showing always
underneath.
"You'll wonder," he said, "Adelaide.
*'hy I am so attentive, why \ came
again so soon, why I took the chance.
Vou see, It's this way; I rather won-
dered if you hadn't something that
you wished to tell me."
"I!" she answered, a little startled
1 y the look that he was giving her as
well as by his question. "I I" she said
Again—anrl her voice was very uncer-
tain. "What would I have to say?"
"Don't you know?" he insisted.
"No," she answered finally.
"Perhaps," he said, "we do not un-
derstand each other yet. Perhaps 1
should make myself a little plainer.
I'll try it, anyway. Let me ask you
something," be said; "your advice on
a matter In which I have a personal
Interest. It Is about a man—"
"Yes," she said uneasily when he
stopped.
"And a woman In great danger*"
"Yes!" breathed Adelaide Ruther-
ford.
"While the man knows that she Is
on the verge of being accused of a
great crime."
"Of what crime?" asked Mrs. Ruth-
erford. her voice now scarcely above a
whisper.
"Of murder!" said the stranger, pat-
ting the rough-headed Rags, who stood
beside hirn.
Adelaide Rutherford did not move
now nor speak; her fuce entirely
bloodless.
"Strangely enough," the man went

"Murder!" murmured Mrs. Ruther-

she said no more.

after wattlug, "that possibly he eould

time, might help hint to know what he j
must eventually tlnd out. And yet one
thing apparently makes this ini:
slble."
"What?"
"Her attitude. T wont go Into that
at length. That situation is too com-
plicated too," he said again. "And I
can't entirely. I'm not allowed to. Hut
1 can tell you this much: the whole
affair might be simplified, dyne away
with perhaps, if she would only „ive
her confidence to him. Vou see?"
She did not see, nor answer. It was
very awkward. Adelaide Rutherford
was a^-out to faint. She did, in fact,
almost. All that she remembers, very
dimly, is the figure of the young man
going out the door Ju±t before the
servants—led by that woman who was
with her so much n nv—came in
It was a strange and tin -terlous
business—this being the mistress of a

A strange
sensation came
over the guL
the Gorgam Trust there was no desire I
now but one—escape from this gloomy
house, from tfcia sinister fortune, at
once.
"I'll try It. anyhow." she said to her-
self toward morning. Kor she cooid
appreciate already how difficult escape
would be. though up to then she had
merely made small tests u/ the pos-
sibility of it.
That nUht she made her first at- 1
tempt at go ax—a.i attempt doubly un- j
successful. The thought had cocne te
her to try that door—the entrance
through which the strange visitor had
twice appeared. She had indeed no
exact knowledge of where it led. bat |
it must certainly end outside some- ■
w! ere—evidently upon the side street
She h 1 iii t tried it before, having
the feeling that she was bein; more
and more closely watched; but now,
this night, she must.
She stood In the dark silence of the
great room; all black, but for two old-
blue ra hes of high wind is she

CHAPTER IX
Night brought small counsel to the
ward of the Gorgnm Trust. I.ike
many others, much w iser than herself,
caught In the widespread web of the
purposes of Great Money—of the cor-
porations and trus's and great legal
supermen which embody it—she
turtyd and re-turned all night long en
deavoring to understand her situation
—how eutirely she was caught, and
what she could possibly do next.
On the one side—If she still stayed
as she was—she thought she could see
the certainty f imprisonment for life
on the ground of insanity. And with
It—a menace from whose shock she
had never yet recovered—was the ac-
cess of that man—that great bru'e.
her husband—to her house, her very
rooms.
On the other si !e. If she stayed, was
the other man w lvii she^l: I not know
but who w ;s obviously Interested,
bringing against her the charge of
murder.
"It isn't true. It Isn't true I know
It:" said the new Adel: |e Rutherford,
tossing in her great bed.
But that s e knew- herself that this
charge aga': her «as not true did
not answer the fear bulged In her
mind. She might possibly hare been
—now that she reviewed the situation
—an uncons. us accomplice in a plot
of murder. She did not think so BM
that she was an accomplice in some
plot—not unlikely criminal— she now-
felt sure: and she felt confident It
might very pMI I !y be charged, and
that a Jury r ght not Impossibly be
convinced up. . the evidence that
there had bee® lnurder
In any case the situation was not a
matter of weeks or months. It was
closing alout her immediately—If she
stayed in the midst of ;''e purposes
and counter-pun- -is which were com-
ing together about this great'fortuue.

Any pain or cold relief med-
