CHAPTER 39 CROSSED FATES Entering the inn one evening to buy a drink and hear more of the local gossip, ere going up to my room, I came suddenly face to face with a very broad, tall, strong man whose hard face, cruel mouth, and broken, flattened nose were vaguely familiar. I had never seen him before, but I had most certainly seen either his photograph or a newspaper reproduction thereof, obtained for me by. William, and enclosed in one of the many letters that had awaited my arrival at Uncle's.

I was, moreover, word perfect, from William's detailed description of this man, as I was of the three other miscreants whom I hoped and intended to bring to justice my justice. Luckily, he was glancing at the evening paper, and I had plenty of time in which to pull myself together, decide upon my course of action, and remember the invaluable histrionic teachings of Mr. and Mrs. Williams H. William.

And then was played as thrilling a little scene with a thread of comedy in its grimness as any in the tragic drama of my quest. For, ere long, Chink Dorson was warily and cunningly questioning me as to the character, reputation, habits way of life, comings and of Squire Theophilus Webb, of With erby End his old acquaintance, Spider Schlitz! Yes, I was actually being cross examined by Chink Dorson, prize fighter, burglar and gunman, whose cunning subtle brain and cold determined courage had brought him to the top of his profession as the right hand man of the notorious Doc Simon. Who was on, just a very ordinary middle class Englishman, staying at Witherby End for some Hadn't tried it here before, but should certainly come again. Yes. Sauire Webb had the rigms and was very generous about them.

Did no fishing himself. Yes. Witherby Stream ran ngnt through his grounds, and one could eo the whole way in a punt, ngnt through his park, once one had obtained his fishing permit. A good landlord and a regular fellow. Yes, lots of scandalous stones about him, his guests, his household, and the goings on, there.

In residence now? Yes. And many more questions, grad ually narrowing down to tnose con cerning Mr. Webb's daily life, ways, habits, customs, comings ana go1 taes I gave the fellow all tne unorma tlon I couia. ana every pussiuie help, short of seeming to know too much. For a magnificent new scneme, or rather enlargement of my orig inal scheme, was forming in my mind.

If, as William H. wuuam naa written me, Simon had prooaDiy been released from prison before the others, and had then gone to Uncle, collected The Unsetting Sun and other loot that was tne com mon property of the gang, and bolted with it to England it was more than likely that Spider Schlitz had followed him in the hope of getting his share, and that Chink Dorson, having served his term and been released was now in hot pursuit of both of them. If this were not the situation, wny should Chink Dorson be here at V7itherby End, cunningly collecting the sort of information that any burglar gathers before "cracking a If Chink Dorson's intentions were any but the worst possioie, wny didn't he drive straight up to his old friend's front door, and, being shown into his presence, extend the glad right hand of friendship, and gather him in brotherly love to his broad and palpitating bosom? No. Adding together tne sound deductions that William had made, and my own deductions based on Chink Dorson's present conduct, felt pretty confident, nay cer tain, that he, was at Witherby End neither for his own health nor that of Spider Schlitz, but for his own ennenment ana tne punisn ment of one of the two men who had double crossed and robbed him. How utterly splendid; what a wonderful and beautiful example of They ship upon a freighter, do our hero and the Bun; 1 They work to earn their passage, and it Isn't any fun.

They scrub the deck and paint the boom and peel a raft of spuds, And when they reach hte Philippines they've worn out all their dudsl poetic justice it would be If these two wolves destroyed each other, leaving me free to deal with the remaining pair! For the weak spot in my scheme, the weak link In my chain of vengeance and the one that kept me anxiously awake at night was the danger that I might be arrested and tried as the slayer of the first or second of my victims, before I had time to deal with the third and fourth. After that it would not matter. Nothing would matter. But I scarcely dared to contemplate the horror of failure and my being hanged before my work was finished; or at best, sentenced to life long imprisonment in England, as I had been in America. I had to bear in mind that my life sentence still awaited me in America, and that I might easily receiv one in England if I escaped hanging.

So what a grim and lovely jest If I could a little help Chink Dorson to kill Spider Schlitz, and then greatly help the English law to kill Chink Dorson for the murder! Both would be punished without endangering my freedom to pursue the other two. Both would, in a measure, be punished by, and through, me. And they would wholly and entirely be punished on account of me through their killing of my daughter and their stealing of my diamond, the bone of their contention and the cause of their mutual destruction Could I recommend decent accommodation to my newly arrived acquaintance? He would only need it for a few days. He just wanted to have a look at Witherby End and its environment. He was thinking of settling down in the country and having a bit of sport; and this place had been recommended to him.

I could. What was wrong with this inn? I had found it very comfortable Could one get in without a lot of fuss, at night if one happened to be a bit late? And Mr. Chink Dorson winked heavily, as one gay dog to another. Why, certainly I myself often went night fishing, and all one had to do was to walk in at the back door. Very confiding people, these country folk.

Honest and simple. Crime absolutely unheard of hereabouts. To cut a long story short, I shadowed Chink Dorson with a skill and tenacity born of my burning lust for vengeance. I watched him from afar, by day, and from nearby at night; and in the end, at long last, as I sat in the dark shadow of a great Cedar of Lebanon, I saw Chink Dorson, whom I had followed and, by a short cut over the park ftaDn0 eimitMedl it The best car for you to buy is the one that includes, at the lowest price, the things you are entitled to in an automobile assuming that it will be economical to operate and maintain and that it will be long lived.

What I do know is that, in a state of exultant exaltation, I followed him and, guided by the sound of voices, came straight to the door of the room which proved to be Mr. Webb's library.

Hearing the sounds of a struggle, which were followed by a dead si lence, I could not forbear to open this door, to see with my own eyes the consummation of the first part of my dream of revenge. On the floor, obviously dead, lay Spider Schlitz. The first of my enemies had paid the penalty. He had received the punishment directly due for steal' ing my diamond, the act which led to tne death of my daughter. And now for the punishment of the second one.

Softly closing the door, I tiptoed away to where the shadows of the landing were darkest, and crouched down beside, and partly behind, the pedestal of a ghostly looking sta tue. A minute later, the door of the library opened, softly closed again, and the figure of Chink Dorson passed between me and the moon lit window on the other side of the broad landing. A snake on the floor! No wonder that tomorrow Waye kicks it, as eagerly he plans a stranger fate for another. (Copyright, 1931, by Frederick A.
