Santolne pressed one of the buttons beside his bed to call a servant; but before the hell could be answered, Harriet got Yes. Eaton thought a minute. That Is all I wanted to know, then, he said. Harriet opened the outer door and knocked on the Inner one. Eaton heard Snntolnes voice at once calling them to come In, and as Harriet opened the second door, he followed her Into the room. she Am I to remain, Father? asked. Yes," Santolne commanded. Eaton waited while she went to a chair at the foot of the bed and seated herself her clasped hands resting on the footboard and her chin upon her hands in a position to watch both Eaton and her father while they talked; then Eaton sat down. Good morning, Eaton, the blind man greeted him. Good morning, Mr. Santolne," Eaton answered. Santolne was lying quietly upon his back, his head raised on the pillows, his arms above the his finger-tip- s touching with the fingers spread. You recall, of course, Eaton, our conversation on the train, Santolne said evenly. Yes. I want to call your attention In a certain order to some of the details of what happened on the train. You had rather a close call this morning, did you not? Rather, I was careless. You were careless?" Santolne smiled derisively. Perhaps you were In one sense. In another, however, you have been very careful, Eaton. You have been careful to act as though the attempt to run you down could not have been a deliberate attack; you were careful to call It an accident; you were careful not to recognize any of the three men In the motor. I hnd no chance to recognize any of them, Sir. Santolne," Eaton reI did not see the car plied easily. coming; I was thrown from my feet; when I got up, It wns too far away for me to recognize anyone." Perhaps so; but were you surprised when my daughter recognized one of them as having been on the train with us? Eaton hesitated, but answered almost Immediately: Your question doesnt exactly fit the case. I thought Miss Santolne had made a mistake." "But Juu were not surprised ; no. What would have been a surprise to you, Eaton, would have been if you had had a chance to observe the men to have found that none of them-no- ne of them had been on the train I Eaton started and felt that he had IIow much did Santolne colored. know? Had the blind man received, as Eaton feared, some answer to his Inquiries, which had revealed, or nearly revealed, Eatons Identity? Or was It merely that the attack made on Eaton that morning had given Snn totne new light on the events that had happened on the train and particularly Eaton guessed on the cipher telegram which Santolne claimed to have translated. i Know, expected him to attack you. want I that, ing that, Eaton knowing to call your attention to the peculiaron the ity of our mutual positions were train.

In the night, the second sleeper the car next in front of yours was cut oft from the train and left behind. That made me occupy In relation to the forward part of the train exactly the same position as you had occupied before the car ahead of you had been cut out. I was In Section Three In the third .sleeper from the front. Eaton stared at Santolne, fascinated ; what had been only vague, half felt, half formed with himself, was becoming definite, tangible, under the blind mans reasoning. His hands closed Instinctively. In his emotion. What do you mean? You understand already, Santolne asserted. The attack made on me was meant for you. Someone stealing through the cars from the front to the rear of the train and carrying In his mind the location of Section Three In the third car, struck through the curtains by mistake at me instead of you. Who was that, Eaton?" I dont know, Eaton answered. You mean you prefer to shield him? Shield him?" That is what you are doing, is It not? For, even If you don't know the man directly, you know In whose cause and under whose direction ha murdered Warden and why and for whom he Is attempting to murder you. Eaton remained silent. In his Intensity, Santolne had liftWho Is ed himself from his pillows. that man? he challenged.

He fought to compose himself. It is perfectly plain, Santolne said It was believed at first patiently. that I had been fatally hurt; It was even reported at one time I understand that I was dead; only Intimate friends have been Informed of my actual condition. Yesterday, for the first time, the newspapers announced the certainty of my recovery; and today an attack Is made on you. They did not hesitate to attack you In sight of my daughter.

Not only this, but and this seemed quite conclusive to them you admitted that you were the one who had called upon Warden the evening of his murder. It seemed likely, too, that you were the only person on the train aside from my daughter and Avery who knew who I was; for I had had reason to believe from the time when I first heard you speak when you boarded the train, that you were someone with whom I had previously, very briefly come In contact; and I had asked my daughter to find out who you were, and she had tried to do so, but without success." Eaton wet his Ups. Also," the blind man continued, there was a telegram which definitely showed that there was some connection, unknown to me, between you and me, as well as a second or rather a previous suspicious telegram In cipher, which we were able to translate. Eaton leaned forward. Impelled to speak; but as Santolne clearly detected this Impulse and waited to hear what he was going to say, Eaton re considered and kept silent. You were going to say something e about that telegram In cipher? Come here!" What? said Eaton. Come here close to me, beside the bed. Eaton hesitated, and then obeyed. Bend over! Eaton stooped, and the blind mans hands seized him. Instantly Eaton withdrew. Walt! Santolne warned. If you do not stay, I shall call help. One hand went to the bell beside his bed. Harriet had risen; she met Eatons gaze warnlngly and nodded to him to comply. He bent again over the bed. He felt the blind mans sensitive fingers searching his features, his head, his throat. Eaton gazed at Santoines face while the fingers were examining him; he could see that Santolne was merely finding confirmation of an Impression already gained from what h had been told him about Eaton. Santolne showed nothing more than this confirmation; certainly he did not recognize Eaton. More than this, Eaton could not tell. Now your hands," Santolne ordered. Eaton extended one hand and then the other; the blind man felt .over them from wrists to the tips of the fingers ; then he let himself sink beck against the pillows, absorbed In thought. You may go," Santolne said at last Go?" Eaton asked. You may leave the room. Blatchford will meet you downstairs." Santolne reached for the house telephone beside his bed receiver and transmitter on one light bar and gave directions to have Blatchford await Eaton In the hall below.
