Raton knelt on oue knee behind his
table; now he was wildly, exultantly
excited; Ida blood leaped holly to his

chances, lie had crossed the I’acinc,
the continent, he had schemed nnd
risked everything with the mere hope
of getting Into this room to discover
evidence with which to demand from
the world righting of the wrong
which had driven Idm ns n fugitive for
five years; nnd here he found the man
who was the cause of It all, before
him In the same room a few paces
away In the dark I
For It was Impossible that this wns
not that man; and 10aton knew now
that tills was he who must have been
behind and arranging nnd directing
the attacks upon him. Katun had not
only seen him and heurd Ills voice, hut
be had felt his grasp; that sadden. In-
stinctive crouch before a charge, and
the aavage lunge and tackle were the
Instnnt. nntiirnl acts of an old lines-
man on a championship team In the
game of football ns It was played
twenty years before. That lift of the
opponent off his feet and the heavy
lunge hurling him hnck to fall on his
bend was wlint one man—In the
rougher, more cruel daya of the col-
lege game—had been famous for. On
tin football Held that throw niiIIIcimI
to !;nock a helmeted opponent uncon-
scious; here It was meant, beyond
doubt, to do more.
Upon an tnueh, nt least, Raton's
mind ut once was clear; here was his
enemy whom he must destroy If he
himself were not first destroyed,

lations altered or overturned In their
hearing by the discovery of this man
bore—everything else could and must
wait upon the mighty demand of that
moment upon Raton to destroy this
enemy now or he himself destroyed.
Raton shook In Ids passion; yet
coolly lie now realised that Ills left
shoulder, which had takun the shock
of Ids fall, was numb. He shifted Ills
pistol over to cover a vague form
w hich had seemed to move; but, If It
had stirred. It was still again now.
Raton strained to listen.
It seemed certain that the noise of
the shot, If not the sound of the
struggle which preceded It, must have
raised an alarm. Hasil Santoine, as
Raton knew, slept above; s nurse
must he waiting on duty somewhere
near. Kntni| had ssen yie row of but-
tons which the blind man had within
arm's length with which he must he

house. So It could not lust much
longer now—this deadlock In the dark.
And one of the two, at leust, seemed
to have recognised that.
Raton had moved, warily and care-
fully, but he had moved; a revolver
flashed before him. Instanlly nnd
without consciousness that Ills Anger
pulled the trigger, Raton's pistol
flushed hack. In frotit of him, the
flume flushed nguln, and another spurt
of lire spat at one side.
Raton flred back at this he was
prostrate on the floor now, and

did not .vet know, or whether the

behind which he had hid. lie tired
again, holding his pistol far out to one
able to confuse the ultn of the others;
he thought that they too were doing
the innir and allowed for It In his aim.
He pulled his trigger a ninth time—
he had not counted his shots, hut he
knew he had had seven cartridges In
the magazine and one in the barrel—
and the pistol clicked without dls
charging. He rolled over farther
away from the spot where he had last
flred and pulled an extra clip of car-
tridges from his pocket

And exactly where or how badly he
had been hit. He Jerked the empty
cartridge elip front his pistol butt nnd
snapped In the other. He swept his
sleeve over his face to clear the blood
from his brows and eyes and stared
through the dark with pistol at arm's
length loaded nnd ready. Blood
spurted over hla face nguln; another
sweep of his sleeve cleared It; and
he moved his pistol-point back and
forth In the dark.
Surely now the sound of firing In
that room must have reached the man
In the room above; surely he must he

Raton listened; there was still no
sound from the rest of the house Hut
overhead now, he heard au almost lui
perceptible pattering—the sound of a
barefooted man crossing the floor;
and he knew that the blind man In
the bedroom shove was getting up.
CHAPTER XVII
Under Cover of Darkneas.
Basil Snntolne was over-sensitive to
eounl. aa are most of the blind; In
the world of durknesa in which he
lived, Boiinda were by far the most
significant—and almost the only—
means he had of telling what went on
around him; he pnsaed hla life listen
Ing for or determining the nature of
sound*. So the struggle which ended
In Eaton's crash to the floor would
have waked him without the pistol-
shots Immediately following. That
roused him wide-awake Immediately
end brought him sitting up In bed. for
getful of bis own condition.

board, and he rang at the same time
for ttte nurse outside hie door and
for the steward.
Snntolne did not consider the pos-
sibility of robbery of plate or Jewelry
long enough tp have been mild to con-
sider It at all; what he felt wns thut
the threat Vrhlch hud been hanging
vaguely over himself ever store War-
den's murder was being fulfilled. Hut
It was not Snntolne himself that was
being attacked; It wns something Sun-
tolne possessed. There wns only one
sort of valuable article for which one
might enter thut room below. And
those articles—
Snntolne pressed all the hells ngnln
and then got up. He had heard abso-
lutely no sound outside, ns must he
made by anyone escaping from the
room below; hut the buttle seemed
over. One side must huve destroyed
the other.
The blind man stood hnrefooted on
the floor, Ills hands clasping In one of
the bitterest moments of his rebellion
against, and defiance of, his helpless-
ness of blindness. Below him—ns he
believed Ids servants had been sacri-
ficing life fur him; there In tliHt room
he held In trust that which affected
the security, the faith, the honor of
others; Ills guarding thut trust In-
volved Ids honor no less. And partic-
ularly, now, he knew he was hound,
at whatever cost, to act; for lie did
not doubt now tint that Ills half-pris-
oned guest, whom Snntolne had not
sufficiently guarded, was at the bot-
tom of the atrnck. The blind man be-
lieved, therefore, that It wns because
of Ills own retention here of Eaton
that the nttnek had been made. Ills
servants lisd been killed, the private
secrets of tils associates were In dan-
ger. Undoubtedly there was danger
below; hut that wns why he did not

one else to run a risk for him.
lie put his hand on the rail and
started to descend the stairs. He was
almost steady In step and he had firm
grasp on the rnll; he noticed that now
to wonder at It. When he had aroused
ut the sound of firing, Ills blindness,
ns always when something was hap-
pening ahoitt him. wns obtruded upon
him. lie felt helpless because he was
blind, not because he had been In-
jured. He had forgotten entirely
that for almost two weeks he had not
Stirred from bed; he hnd risen and
stood and talked, without staggering,
to the door and to the top of the
stnlrs before, now, he remembered. So
what he already had done showed him
thnt he had merely again to put his
Injury from his mind nnd he could
go on. He went down the stairs at
most steadily.
The blind count stnlrs, and he had
gone down twenty-one—and realized
fully Ills futility; but now he would
not retreut or merely call for help.
"Who Is here?" he asked distinctly.
“Is anyone here? Who Is here?"
No one answered. And now Ran-
tnlne knew hy the sense which let him
feel whether It was night or day. that
the room was really dark—dark for
others ns well ns for himself; the
lights were not burning. So an exal-
tation, n sense of physical capability,
came to 8ant»lne; In the dark he was
ns tit, as capable ns any other man.
He stepped down on the floor, nnd
In his uncertainty ns to the position
of the furniture, felt nlotig the wall.
There were bookcases there, but he
felt and passed along them swiftly,
until he came to tile case which
concealed the safe nt the left side of
the doors. The hooks were gone from
Hint ciixo; his hare toes struck agnlnst
them where they hnd been thrown
down on the floor. The blind man, Ills
pulse heating tumultuously, put Ills
hand through the ense and felt the
panel behind. Thnt was slid hack,
exposing the safe; and the door of
the safe stood open. Snntolne'i
hands felt within the safe swiftly. The
safe was empty.
He recoiled from It. choking hnck
an ejaculation. The entry to this
room hnd been ntnde for the purpose
which he supposed; nnd the thieves
must have succeeded In their errand.
The blind mnn, In Ills uselessness for
pursuit, could delay calling others to
act for him no longer. He started
toward the hell, when some scrape on
the floor—not of the sort to be ac-
counted for by nn object moved hy
the wind—sounded behind him. San
tolne swung toward the sound nnd
stood listening again ; and then, grop-
ing with Ids liHiids stretched out he
fore him, he left the wall and stepped
toward the renter of the room. He
look two steps—three, four—with no
result; then his foot trod Into some
fluid, thick an ' sticky and not cold.
Santoine stooped and put a finger
tip Into the fluid and brought It near
his nose. It was what he aupposed It
must he—blood. He could hear now
someone breathing—more than one
person. Rrom the house, still shut
off hy Its double, sound-proof doors
he could hear nothing; but someone
outside the house was hurrying up to
the open window at the south end of
the room.
Thnt one came to, or Just Inside the
window, parting the curtains. He wns
breathing hard from exertion or from
excitement.
“Who Is ItT” 8anto!ne challenged
clearly.
"Basil I” niatchford's voles ex
claimed Ills recognition In amaxenient
“Uasll; that Is you I What ax* you
doing down here?” Blatrbford started
forward.
•'What brought you here?" Snntolne
demanded instead of reply. "You were
running outside; why? Whut was out
there? What did you see?"
“See? I didn't see anything—except
the window here open when I entne
up. Hut I heard shots, Basil. What
bus happened here?"
Santoine felt again the stickiness at
his feet. 'Three or four persons
fought In this room, Wallace. Souk
or one was hurt. There's blood on the
floor. There are two here I can henr
breathing; I suppose they're hurt.
I'roliHldy the rest are gone. Get help.
I think those who aren't hurt are
gone. They must lie gone. But—get
help flrst, Wallace.”
"And leave you here?" Blntchford
rejoined. He hnd not halted ngnln;
the blind man heard Ills cousin still
moving nlotig the wall. The electric
switch clicked, nnd Snntolne -knew
that the room whs flooded with light.
Suntolne straightened, strained, turn-
ing his head u little better to listen.
With the flashing on of the light, he
had heard the sharp, Involuntary stnrt
of Hlutchford ns lie snw the room;
and, besides that, Santoine heard
movement now elaewhere In the room.
Then the blind man heard Klk friend’s
cry. "Good God!”
"What Is It?" Snntolne cried.
“Good God I Basil I"
"Who Is It. Wallace?" the blind
mnn knew now that Ills friend's Inco-
herence came from recognition of
someone, not alone from some sight
of horror.
“Basil! It Is—It must be—I know
him! It Is—”
A shot roared In front of Snntolne.
The blind man. starling hack Rt the
shock of It, drew In the powder-gae

with his breath; but the bullet wns
not for him. Instead, he heard his
friend scream and choke and hulf call,
half cough.
“Wallace!” Snntolne cried out: but
his voice was lost In the roar of an-
other shot. This was not flred by the
same one who had Just flred; at lenst,
It was not from the same pnrt of the
room; and Instantly, from tjnntner
side, a third shot came. Then. In the
midst of rush Hnd confusion, another
shot roared; the light was out again;
then all was gone; the noise was out-
side; the room wns still except for s
cough and choke ns Blatchford—
somewhere on the floor In front of the
blind mnn—tried agnln to speak.
Basil Santoine, groping with hts
hands, found him. He wns still con-
scious. Santoine knew that he was
trying his best to speak, to say Just
one word—a name—to tell whom he
had seen and who had shot him; hut
he could not.
Santoine put his hand over a hnnd
of his cousin. Blntchford’s Ungers
closed tightly on Santolne's; they did
not relax hut now remained closed,
though without strength. The blind
man bowed and then lifted his head.
Ills friend was dead, nnd others were
rushing Into the room—ttie butler, one
of the chauffeurs. Avery, more men-
servants: the light wns on ngnln. and
amid the tumult nnd alnrms of the
discoveries shown by the light, some
rushed to the windows to the south
In pursuit of those who hnd escaped
from the room. Avery and one or
two others rushed up to Snntolne:
now the blind man heard, above their
cries nnd alnrms, the voice of his
daughter. She was beside him. where
he knelt next Ihe body of Blntchford.
nn<l she put hack others who crowded
about
"Rather! What has happened? Why
are you here? Oh, Rather, Cousin
Wallace!"
"He Is dead,'' Santoine said. "They
shot hlmt They were three, at lenst.
One was not with the others. They
flred at each other. I believe, after
one shot him." Santolne's hnnd was
still In niatchford's. "I heard them
below." He told shortly how he hnd
gone down, how Blatchford had en
tered and been shot.
The blind man, still kneeling, heard
the ordering and organising of others
for ths pursuit; now women servants
from the other part of the house
were taking charge of affaire tv the
room. There bed been ne signal
He heard bis dough-
henrd, Santoine waa told, upon any
of the belli which he hud tried to ring
from bts room. Raton was the only
person from the house who was miss-
ing.
"They came, at least some of them
came"—Santoine had risen, fighting
down his grief over hts cousin's death
—"for what was In your sufe, Har-
riet.”
"I know; I snw It open."
“What Is gone?" Santoine de-
manded.
lie heard her picking up the con-
tents of the snfe from the floor and
carrying them to the table and ex-
amining them.
"Why—nearly all the formal paper*
seem to he gone; lists and agreement*
relating to a dozen different things.”
“None of the correapondence?”
"No; thut all seem* to be here."
Snntolne was breathing quickly; the
trust for which he hud been ready to
die—for which Blatchford had died—
seemed snfe.
“We don’t know whether he got It,
then, or not I" It w as Avery's voice
which broke In upon him; Santoine
merely listened.
"He? Who?"
ter’s challenge.
“Why, Raton. It la plain enongh
wlint happened here. Isn't It?" Avery
answered. "He came here to this
room for whnt he was after—for what
he lias been after from the first—
whatever thnt may have been! He
came prepared to force the safe and
get It I But he was surprised—”
"Ity whom?" the blind mnn asked.
“By whoever It Is that has been fol-
lowing him. I don't attempt to ex-
plain who they were. Mr. Santoine;
for I don't know. But—whoever they
were—In doing this, he laid himself
open to attack hy them. They were
watching—saw him enter here. They
attacked hltn here. Wallace switched
on the light and recognized him; ao
he shot Wallace and ran with what-
ever he could grab up of the contents
of the safe, hoping that by luck he'd
get what he was after.”
“It Isn't so—It Isn't ao I" Harriet de-
nied.
Her father checked her; he atood
an Instnnt thoughtful "Who Is di-
recting the pursuit, Donald T”
Avery went out at once.
“Now, Hurrtet," he commanded.
She understood that her father would
not move till she hod seen the room
for him.
"There was some sort of a struggle
near my safe," she said. “Chair*—
everything there Is knocked about."
"Yes.”
'There Is also blood there—a big
spot of It on the floor."
“I found that,” said Santoine.
"There are bullet marks every-
where—above the mantel, all about”
“How was the safe opened?"
"The combination has been cut com-
pletely away; there Is an—an Instru-
ment connected with the electric-
light fixture which seems to have done
the cutting. There ts a hand-drill,
too—I think It la a hand-drill. The
Inner door has been drilled through,
and the catches drawn back."
“Who Is this?"
The vulet, who hnd been sent to Pin-
ton’s room, hnd returned with his re-
port. "Mr. Raton went from his room
fully dressed, sir,” he said to Snn-
tolne, “except for his shoes. I found
all his shoes In his room."
During the report the blind man felt
his daughter's grasp on his arm be-
come tense and relax and tighten
again. Then, as though she realized
she was adding to his comprehension
of what she had already betrayed, she
suddenly took her hand from her fa-
ther's arm. Santoine let the servants,
at hts dnugliter’s direction, help him
to his room. Ills dnngliter stood be
side him while the nurse washed the
blood-splotches from his hauds and
feet.
"Rather?" she questioned.
“Yes.”
“You don’t agree with Donald, do
ymr?—that Mr. Raton went to the
study to—to get something, and that
whoever hns been following him found
him there and—and Interrupted him
and he kilted Cousin Wallace?"
Santoine was silent an Inatnat.
“That seems the correct explanation,
Harriet," he evaded. "It does not
fully explain; but It seems correct as
far as It goes. If Donald asks you
whnt my opinion Is, tell him It Is
that.”
He felt his daughter shrink
from him.

Civilization Without Dependable
Transportation.
There are now 11.1,000 miles of
paved or surfaced highways In th*
United States—more than there are or
ever were In any other country In the
world. They have all been built, too,
within comparatively few years. When
the system provided for In the federal
highway uot Is completed, the Agricul-
tural department reports, the Improved
mileage will umount to 180,000 miles.
The process will keep right on, with
accelerating speed, establishing new
trunk lilies across the continent and
up and down, In a transportation sys-
tem of ever-growing fineness and dur-
1 ability.
Imagine all this network of .good
roads swept away—the condition In
which It would leave the country and
I the deterioration that would follow.
Good roads are civilization. There
has never been a high at ate of civili-
zation without dependable transporta-
tion routes connecting every locality
with every other, nnd still less will
there ever be hereafter, says the Brat-
tleboro, Vt., Reformer. You can meas-

Sows must be well fed to raise good
piga, but this does not Include the day
before furrowing and the day after
farrowing. For 24 hours before and
after farrowing the sow should have

says Dr. L. C. Elgin, “Involving the

that the animals had access to filthy
lots that had been used for years. At
one place I found a large wallow at

organisms which cause this disease
thrive In aueh places and the way to
prevent the trouble Is to keep the
porkers on pasture and close up the

Good roads are vital to all aecttone
of the country. Contrary to common
conception, the wealthy tourists and
truck using corporations form only a

better highway transportation.
Better roads will benefit two great
clusses, 3,500,000 of farmers who nre
dependent upon their automobiles, and
as many more city dwelling fumlllee
with Incomes of less than $4,000, who
with the farmers own two-thirds of

HOSPITALS MADE ACCESSIBLE
Automobile and Improved Roads Have
Made It Posaible for Farmer to
Enjoy Advantages.
The development of the automobile
and the construction of hard roads
have made It possible In many sections
to equip and erect modern hospitals,
even In the smallest towns and cities,
and to iuuke these hospitals accessible
to patients through the use of motor
ambulances for distances as far as 30
and 40 miles. The old emergency
operation was performed on the rough
pine table; now. It may be done, In
many Instances, under the most mod-
ern of hospital advantages.
Greater Road Progress.
According to Thomas H. McDonald,
chief of the bureau of public roads,
greater progress was made on the na-
tion’s highways during the last year
than ln any similar period ln tho his-
tory of the country.
Incroas* Valus of Citizen,
Good roads are to be urged princi-
pally for the same reason lhat good
schools are maintained; namely, be-
cause they Increase the Intelligence
and value of the citizen to society.
