He asked me to undertake the mission. to see all 1 could and if possible to secure the package of money. This last seemed hardly likely. At any 1 rate. I was to gather all the evidence I could.

I hesitated. "I had loudly proclaimed my championship of civic virtue. however, and here was a chance to serve Reuton. I acquiesced. The day I was to start up here poor Kendrick came back.

He. too, had been a student of mine, friend of both Drayton and Hayden. Seven years ago he and Hayden were running the Suburban together under Thornhill's direction. The two young men became mixed up in a rather shady business deal. which was more of Hayden's weaving than Kendrick's.

Hayden came to Kendrick with the story that they were about to be found out and suggested that one assume the blame and go away. I am telling you all this in confidence as a friend of my friends. the Bentleys, and a young man whom I like and trust despite your momentary madness in the matter of yellow locks. We are all susceptible. "Kendrick went.

Not long ago he discovered that the matter in which he and Hayden had offended had never been disclosed after all. He hurried back to the states. You can imagine his bitterness.

He had been engaged to Myra Thornhill, and the fact that Hayden was also in love with her may have had something to do with his treachery to his friend."

It way he who suggested to Hayden that was an absolutely secluded spot for passing this large sum of money would be the inn. The idea appealed to Hayden. tried to laugh him out of it. Cargan The mayor did not relish the thought of a visit to Baldpate mountain in the dead of winter, particularly as he considered such precautions unnecessary. Hayden was firm.

This spot, he But pointed out. was ideal. and the mayor last laughingly gave in. The sum at involved was well worth taking a little trouble to gain." Professor Bolton paused and blinked his dim old eyes. "So the matter was arranged," he continued.

"Mr. Bland. a clerk in employ, was sent up here Hayden's the money, which he placed in with the safe on the very night of our arrival. The safe had been left open by Rutter. Bland did not have the combination.
