"It must hove happened while 1 was
crossing," lie paid slowly. "1 have
seen no reference to li In any of the
papers. Ilow did he make his break?"
"liraitis, my boy," said Clarke. ''I
didn't think his conventional sort had
It in him. He decided to go on a

to see the Head Nut of u society ot

Sutton, upper-cm htm. got into his
abandoned clothes passed out in them
and esca|ied."
"Sutton did that?" Trent laughed.
It was i he type of exploit he enjoyed.
"Two weeks'? start is pretty useful."
"They'll get him," Clarke declared.
"They'll gel him because they'll know
where to look for him. He's after
I'ayson Grant, and (Jraut Isn't sleeping
well at night, believe me. Sutton's
watching his opportunity."
"Know anything about bis brother
Campbell?"
"Not a thing. Do you?"
"Slightly. He's u college professor
type, with a uasiy little mincing way
of talking, and a nose that stands
away from tiabby, yellow cheeks at an
Impossible angle." Trent reflected.
"And yet there Is something—I sup-
pose it's a family trait—thai reminds
me of his brother. I'm going to see
him tonight." Trent's face was grim.
"1 think I shall iell him I'm through."
Trent could not le^ve without a long
talk with Mrs. Suuer, and he did not
reach his aparttneni until dusk, but It
h:id been a profitable afternoon.
The fragrance of his special brand
of cigar greeted him. Campbell Sut-
ton looked up from a book.
"Did you bring an evening paper?"
he asked.
"No," said Trent. "1 have been too
much occupied to think of It. I went
through that interesting pile of stone
which i lie world calls Sing Sing."
Campbell Sutton put his book down.
"After what I told you?"
"in spit*' of It. You will find that
1 do not take orders readily. Your
brother was glad to see ine. He sent
his love to you. He apologized for
your manners, and said you were one
of those uncomfortable creatures who
meant well."
Campbell Sutton considered the mat-
ter before answering. "Of course you
didn't see my brother," he siiid. "He
isn't there."
"He will he before long. According
to the Hvenlng World he has been ar-
rested In Wilmington."
Although Trent's keen eyes were on
the other's face there was no alarm or
anxiety to be seen. Instead Campbell
Stilton smiled.
"That I will never believe," he said.
"My brother Is hidden where none
will dream of seeking him, and It Is
nowhere near any of the Wliming;
tone."
"Why did you deceive me?"
"1 felt I had to. Regard it ns a
precautionary measure, Mr. Trent.
Captain Sutton depends wholly on
your courage und energy. Do not let
him suffer for excess of caution on his
brother's part."
"Where Is he?" Trent asked.
"Kor the moment I dare not tell
you." Campbell Sutton meditated a
little. "Perhaps when you have made
your plans a meeting may be arranged.
I will bring It about."
"If he isn't captured meanwhile,"
Trent answered.
"That wouldn't relieve you of your
adventures."
"1 wwm't thinking of that," Trent
said. "The police will look for him
at Deal Beach It Grant Is still there
The vendetta Idea, you understand?"
••They will look In vain," Campbell

"And he thinks I shall be able to dis-
cover proofs of an organi'/ed. con

ness in his tone.
"Not exactly that. You are needed
for subtler work than that. M.v brother

ties should be utile to get I'ayson
Orant Into such a position that a full
confession could he forced from him.'

"I think I shall go down to Deal

still a member of the golf club, so
ii will not be going as a stranger. I
may run across Grant there, us you
tell me he plays."
"II won't be easy to meet him."
Campbell Sin ion declared. "He Is es

as a guest you would have either to
be one of his old friends or otie of
Ills new aci|uaintances. You cannot

"I've seen it played more than you

Grant does. It happened that when I
was in England 1 fell by accident Into
what was the 'top-hole' set. I met
dukes and marquises, earls and cab-
inet ministers. I met Americans
'whose names bad been household
words to me, and found them all,
muriiulses and millionaires, some of
the nicest men I'd ever struck."
Anthony Trent mentioned the names
of families which plainly tmpressed
Ids listener.
"It seems Incredible," Campbell
/Sutton murmured. "I'm sure my
brother had no Idea you were a so-
ciety man."
"I'm not," said Trent promptly. "1
tell you it was all unpremeditated.
I've never hud social ambitions. When
our ambassador told me there were
prominent Americans gnashing their
teeth because I—who wusn't even In
I he Social Register—was mixing with
the tilled throng and actually staying
In an enrl's castle, I was amused."
"I'd like to hear about It," said
I'ampbell Sutton.
"That you most certainly will not
do," Trent said decisively, his face
hardening. Nothing could have In-
duced him to tell this man, whose
personality Jarred upon him, of those
entrancing days now so remote and
alien. They were nays when Anthouy
Trent felt hlmselt safe and had
known supreme hupplness. There
were memories which came thronging,
fragrant, tender and too sacred to
share. He felt, iu that moment, be
had said more than be need.
"If what you claim Is borne out by
facts. It would make u meeting with
I'ayson Grant less difficult than 1 im-
agined."
"I am making no claims," Trent
said coldly.
"Mrs. Grant is always on the look-
out for clever and entertaining men.
I have never looked upon you as pos-
sessing social talents, but tiiere's no
reusou why you should not."
"Thanks." Trent said acidly.
Campbell Sutton was smlliug. An
idea bad amused him.
"If you should be recognized by
any of your former victims while a
guest of the Grants, you would wound
them Incurably."
"You are certainly kind and
thoughtful," Trent exclaimed.
The idea was disquieting. The ad-
venture seemed to lie growint in dif-
ficulty. It would 'it- an Ironic ending
if. In the moment of victory, as yet
highly problematic, this man de-
nounced him. Trent did not think
hu had a normally minded man to
deal with. I'erhaps Campbell Sutton
guessed of what lie was thinking.
"I wish I dare tell you everythirg,"
said Sutton He looked at the other
man anil set nieil in though about to
Impart some Million tiling.
"1 am not anxious to know more
than I do," Trent said, rising to his
feet.
"Some day you will understand."
said Campbell Sutioii His aggressive
manner was gone. "My experience
with men has not allowed me to take
anyone on trust."
Although Trent was up at half-past
seven next morning. Campbell Sutton
had finished his breakfast and was
reading the papers his host hud
brought In the previous evening.
At half past eight the buzzer in the
passage rang three times.
"It you don't wain to be seen."
Trent said, cotuiiiu Into the front
room, "you'd bettei go aft."
'Who is it?" the other demanded,
betraying visible agitation.
"how do I know?" Trent snapped.
•'! don't claim second sight.
'You can l know till you've opened
the door." Sutton whispered, "aad
then It may be too late "
"I don't open the door till I know,"
Trent told him.
Long ago he had made a littl peep
hole through which a view of visitors
could be obtained. He sighed with
relief when he beheld only David
More.
"it's a friend," he said, "but you'd
better not be seen.'
More handed his report to his em-
ployer, but would not sit down, as
he was In a hurry
Trent sat down In the chair so re-
cently vacated by Campbell Sutton

tempts to get Information at Sutton's
former office bad resulted only In find-
ing that all the old staff was dismissed.
Those who remained were Grant men.
convinced their employer was in the
right.
Trent read the document through
twice. Those who knew him well
might have Judged that what he had
perused hart uwnkened him to anger.
His mouth was n thin line and ills
eyes had no longer any good humor
about them.
He put the envelope In his pocket
and then set about what seemed a cu-
rious and unnecessary rearrangement
of the furniture, dragging hack the
comfortable chairs so that the center
of the room was left bare hut for a
Royal Bokhara rug of unusual size.
Campbell Sutton came In Just as he
had finished.
"What are you doing?" he asked In
astonishment.
"I'm setting the stage," Trent ex-
plained.
"For what purpose?"
"I think you'll regard It as a trag
edy."
"I don't know what you mean."
"You will," snld Trent, coming
closer. "It's simply this: I was willing
for two reasons to run the risk attend-
ant on helping your brother. One was
that you threatened to denounce me
to the police If I did not; the other
was because I liked Sutton and owed
him a great deal."
Those two reasons still exist," Sut-
ton reminded him.
"But you don't," Trent had a dan-
gerous, sneering laugh. "Put up your
hands, man, for I'm going to hit you.
Captain Sutton never had a brother
or sister, and you're nothing but r
d—d fake."

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts If Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder is
Troubling You
No man or woman can make a mis-
take by Hushing the kidneys occasion-
ally, says a well-known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at-
tended by a sensation of scalding, be-
gin drinking a quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of .Tad
Salts from any pharmacy; take i
tabiespoonl'ul in n glass of water be-
fore breakfast and Iti n few days your
kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com-
bined with litliia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
.Tad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithla-water
drink which everyone should take
now and then to help keep the kid-
neys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby often avoiding serious
kidney complications.
