It was not like Warden to \u25a0how nervousness; Kondo, the Japanese doorman, who watched him thru the portieres, three times Haw him go to Hi" window and, watch In hand, stand staring o>it.

Konilo entered the riiin, he noticed then that War- den* Imiid was shaking. came l>y appointment. Kondo ushered him Into the smoking roojn. The Jap did not announce this arrival, but several times la the next half hour he looked upon him. The stranßor had not moved. | In aliout forty minutes, Corhoy idro\o the car under the porto- 'corrhere, got down and opened the I door. There was no motion In- side. The chauffeur looked In and 'saw Warden lyinx hack quietly ftfalMt the cushions; he was alone. Warden was dead; the top of lilh Mead had been smashed In. The chauffeur drew back, Rasp- liik; Kondo behind him, ran Into the house calling for help. Two Otter servants and Mrs. Warden ran down. The stranger, now MM lor the first time by Mrs. Warden, came out from the smok- In,' room, lie uided in taking thn body from the car Into the living room; he remained until it was certain that Warden li:ul been killed and nothing could be done. When this had been established, Kondo and Mrs. Warden looked around for him—but he was no lonper there. The news of the murder creaf- ed a sensation, which deepened with the disclosure that this win the. Henond time such a murder "A \u25a0 mml- man who may, or may, not, give hih name, will soon ask \ for me. lie will say he called by ap-| polotment. Take him to my smok-i fag-room. 1 will see him there." Warden went up the stairs to hla Wife's room He had promised to aooornpuuy her to a concert; Hho thought he had come to hen; off. She suddenly Haw that he had come to her to discuss gome uerioue sub- ject "Cora," he said, when he had Olosed the door. "I want your ad- vice on a business question." "A business question!" She wan greatly xuprised. Sh was yearn younger than he; he usually kept all business matters from her. "I mean It came to me thru some buelnew—discoveries " "And you cannot decide (t for yourself?" "I had decided It; but now—lt may lead to a result which I have' felt I haven't the right to decide entirely for myself." Warden's wife felt alarmed. "You mean it affects me direct- ly?" "It may. For that reason I must do whnt you would have me do." He seized both her hands. "Cora," he said, "what would you have me do If I had found out that a young man had been outrag- ed in every right by men who are my friends? Would you have me fight for him? Or would you have me—lie down?" His fingers almost crushed hers In his excitement. She stared at tolm with pride then. "Why, you would fight them!" "No mattor what It costs, Cora," he said, "if I go into this fight, I •hall be not only an opponent to tome of my present friends; I shall be a threat to them—something they may think It necessary to re- move." "You mean some one might kill you?" "Should that keep me from 30- Ing In? Would you have me afraid to do a thing that ought to be done, Cora?" "No," the said; "I would not." "All right then. That's all I had to know. The young man is com- ing to see me tonight. I'll tell you all I can after I've talked with htm." He went directly downstairs. Tti* telephone bell rang. Warden answered. He spoke no names. Apparently the other person wish- ed to see Warden at once. Warden finished, "All right; I'll come and C«t you." Turning to Kondo, he ordered his car. Kondo heard Warden di- rect the chauffeur, Patrick Cor- boy, a faithful Irishman, to a drug \u25a0tore. Corboy drove to the place. A young man of less than medium height, broad-shoulder and wear- lac a mackintosh, came to the curb and spoke to Warden. Cor- boy did not hear the name, but Warden Immediately asked the man into the car; he directed Cor- boy to return home. The chauf- feur did this, but was obliged on the way to stop several times, be- cause of obstructions. Almost Immediately after War- den had left the house, the door- txell rang. A youni* man with a quiet and pleasant bearing lnquir- ! ed for Mr. Warden and said he I hnd happened. Warden had ktM close, at one time, to the great Western capi- talist.

But in this compar- ison Warden's statement to his wife was not borne out. Men of Ihlgh place In the business world all concurred In saying that, m far as Warden and his properties were concerned, the time was one of peace; neither attack nor seri- ous disagreement had threatened him. Investigation of the murder went on unceasingly. The statements of Komlo and Corboy were veri- fied; it was even learned at what spot Warden's murderer had left the motor unobserved. Beyond this, no trace was found of him. This disappearance of the young man who had come to Warden's house was also complete. No suspicion attached to this young roan. His disappearance seemed explicable. It was gener- ally credited that he, too, must have been killed; or, if he was alive, he saw in Warden's swift destruction a warning of his own fate if he came forward at this time. Thus, after ten days, no Infor- mation from or about him had beon gained. CHAPTER 11. j I \ i>t ••-•. Is Held for a Personage. Hob Conner>- special conductor, was surprised It breakfast on the 11th day to get from the presi- dent of his railroad an order in writing on private note paper, de- livered by special messenger. It read:— "No. 5 will run one hour late. Take charge prepared to run thru to Chicago. You will facilitate every desire and obey, when poa- sllile, any request which may be mini" by a passenger who will Identify himself by a card from me." As he went to work he saw, across the bay, the Incoming Jap- enese liner, the Tamba Maru, and the thought occurred to him: "Probably President JarvU has some mogul on that boat whom be wishes to coddle." In the Se- attle terminal he climbed aboard the waiting express and took a walk up and down. Travel was light that trip. There were but 14 passengers aboard. Connery got off and went to have a chat with old Sammy Sea- ton, the gateman. Just then a group of people crowded out to the gate, tbe baggage of some showing foreign labels The first io pass thru was a girl about 22. \ She was of medium Betfbt. slender and erect in figure. Slio had the air of a person of assur- ed position. Her fair cheeks were ruddy and her blue eyes bright; her hair, deep brown and abun- dant, wan cinulii back from her brow. Riving her a boyish look. Connory was certain he did not know her. He now gave hla at- tention to the first man—tall, strongly built, with a powerful patrician faca. His face and mus- tache were dark; his brows were black; hla eyes were hidden by smoked glassos. Connery found his gaze follow- ing this man; the conductor did not know him, nor had old Sam- my recognized him; but, unques- tionably, he was a man to he known. A trim, self-assured man of 30, wearing a cutaway cout, came past next. An Englishman, with red- vttluAd cheeks, fumbling, clumsy fingers, and serious, interested eyes immediately followed. He, plainly, bad "booked" at Hong Kong. A fifth person had Appeared suddenly. He had taken his place behind the four only after scru- tiny of them and of all around. His tioket was a strip which orig- inally had help coupons for the Pacific voyage; it was close to the date when it would have ex- pired. It bore the name "Philip D. 'Eaton." An American, and young, he made a profound Im- pression upon Connery. H« com- bined, In some strange way, ex- altation with weariness. Con- nery felt that it was by premedi- tation that he was the last to paM he gate. Connery stepped healde the old man. "Who Is It, Sammy?" he de- manded. The gateman murubled to him- self the names* of the famous, the great, the notorious, in his effort to fit one to the man who had just passed. If Baton were not the man's real name, old Sammy was un- able to find any other which fit- ted. Connery went out to the train. The passengers had got aboard; the last five to arrive had disap- peared into the Puilmani. Con- nery jumped aboard the observa- tion car and went forward into the next Pullman. In ltn aisle the five whom Connery had just' watched pass the gate were gath- ered about the Pullman conduc- tor, claiming their reservations. The three who had passed the gate first —the girl, the man wlfh the glasses and the young man in the cutaway—were one party. They had had reservations made, apparently, in the name of Dome, for a compartment and two sec- tions in this car, the last of the four Pullmans. The girl's ad- dress to the spectacled man made plain that he was her father; her name, apparently, was Harriet; the young man in the cutaway coat was "Don" to her and "Ay- cry" to her father. His relation while Intimate enough to permit him to addreee the girl as "Har- ry," was unfailingly respectful to Mr. Dome, and against them both Dome won his way; his daughter was to occupy the drawing room; he and Avery were to have sec- tionn. And Dome directed the porter to put Avery's luggage in Section One, hla own tn Section Three. The Englishman, unsupplied with a sleeping car ticket, accept- ed Section Four in Car Three- - the next car forward—and de- parted at the heeU of the porter. Connery watched more closely, as came the turn of Baton. Like the Englishman, Baton had no reser- vation; he appeared, however, to 'No More Kings, No More Wars' Lame Back First Sign of Food Preparedness By Edgar C.

There ar« actually three lillMd-is <>ii my left hand, and a blood blister and the muking have some preference aa to where he slept. "Give me a Three, If you have one," he requested of the Pullman conductor. His voice, Connery noted, was distinctly pleasant. At sound of it, Dome turned and looked that way and said some- thing In a low tone to the girl. Harriet Dome also looked, and with her eyes on Baton, Connery sajr her reply lnaudlbly, rapidly and at some length. "I can give you Three in Car Three," the Pullman conductor offered. "That'll do very well," Eaton answered. As the porter now took his bags, Raton followed him out of the car. Connery went after them Into the next car. He expected that Eaton would at once identify himself as the passenger to whom' President Jarvls' note had refer- red. Eaton, however, paid no at-1 tentlon to him. Besides E-aton, Connery sew hut half a dozen people In this oar; the Englishman in Section Pour; the young gtrls of about 19 and 20 and their parents- unobstru- sive, middle aged people who had the drawing room; and an alert, red-haired, professional looking man of 40, whose baggage Vas marked "I>. S.—Chicago." Con- nery stood a few moments, then he again passed Eaton, Blowing <k> that the young man could speak to htm If he wished; but Raton allowed him to pass on. As ha en- tered the next car batik, A very stopped him. "Mr. Dome would like to speak to you," Avery said. The ton* was like a command. Conner? stoppad beaidc the sec- tion, where the man with the spec- tacles sat with his daughter. Dome looked up at him. "You are the train conductor?" he askad. "Yes, sir," Connery replied. Dome fumbled In his inner pocket, brought out a card case, opened It and produced a card. Connery saw that It was President Jarris' visiting card; across Its; top wag written briefly in Jarris' familiar hand, "This is the pas- senger." Connery'a hand shook as ha tpok the card. He saw that hi* too ready assumption that Baton was the main to whom Jarvis' notehad referred, had almost led him into a mistake unpardonablej in a "trusted" man. of what will some iln.v Im- a rciii callous on tlie riylii. <mi you Iwihi iln- thrill that c is witli muddy finger nails — that comet* Sumlny evening when you hoar the rail for dinner and, with an appetite like a spare-ribbed hone, .straighten "tit your back, put the garden fork in the woodshed and make for the \\n-di bowl?

Nelther friends, associates, mu- tual business interests, nor fam- ily ties succeeded in breaking down the mysterious wall between the two men.
