Even my father couldn't have proved his claim in a test and he's dead. Let me go, Ahmad! Don't raise your talons against me." The wild flow of words died away, and for an instant the form in the shadow halted. Then it moved slowly forward again. "I tell you I'll go away, and nev- er return again. We never had any real proofs. Ahmad! Let me go!" And at that instant I felt Alex- ander's breath against my ear. "You heard, didn't you, Long?" he whispered. "Yes--" "Then the work's done." I felt the stir as his arm reached up to an electric switch on the wall. He pressed it. Unknown to me, the wrecked lighting plant had been repaired. All the great chan- deliers of the library flashed on at once. . The first impression was blind- ness, But as my eyes became ad- justed to the sudden glare, I knew at least part of the truth at last. ||The form of the tiger had been most real and convinelng at the edge of the dim and ineffective can. dlelight., But it was no more ter- rible than the counterfeit giraffes that the clowns parade in a circus ring, when the glare from the chan- deliers came down. Before us, stripped of all delusion, Ahmad Das rested on his hands and feet on the floor. He held his body low, his legs almost straight, to give the effect of length, Over him, in a rather ingenious way, was thrown a great, tawny tiger skin, The four legs were fastened with some sim- ple device to his ankles and wrists, and the great head, filled out with some light substance, rested on his, I leaped and seized Alexander's shoulders. "Good Heavens!" I yelled in his ear. "That's only part of it. That in- sane hoax couldn't have broken Hayward's neck!" But Alexander wriggled out of my grasp. "Of course it didn't hreak Hay- ward's neck," he sald 'The real aurderer of Hayword slipped one over on us--improvised some busi- ness that wasn't written in the play. I've got the real murderer of Hayward, dead, down in the boat." Alexander Pierce spent most of the rest of the evening answering questions. There were more things to find out than ever I thought I could possibly learn, First he took us down to the boat beside the water, and lifted the tarpaulin that covered the thing in the hottom. A dead animal lay therein--a creature large as the largest hound, yellow, with spots of black. It was a powerful animal, long-clawed and white-fanged; and my breath stopped at the sight of it. A tiger?" T demanded. Tiger, nothing!' Alexander an- i; |swered. "You ought to be enough of a naturalist to know that a tiger has stripes, This beast 'has spots, He weighs two hundred pounds, and a tiger twice as much. Besides you don't find tigers in Southern Florida, It's plain to me, old Doc Long, that you don't know the his- tory of Florida very well." "Evidently I don't I don't re- member reading about such a crea- ture as this--" 'Please speak respectfully of him I'd have much preferred to have left hinr alive, but we'll need him for proof of that wild story we have to tell the coroner's jury tomor- row afternoon. If you remember there was a time when Southern Florida was still the home of the jaguars--the greatest of American felines." I remembered that I had heard something about it, "Most of them were exterminat- ed a good many years ago. You can still find em in a few remote regions in Southern Texas. I sup- posed myself that they wera al! gone here--even in such a wild part of the State as this. Long, yeu see here what is probably the last of the Florida Jaguars--a creature as heavy as a leopard, and one of the strongest jawed and shouldercd felines in the world. "And since you won't rest ill I tell you the rest of it, I might as well says that this big cat was the base on which Abmad .and Southley worked out their plot. They knew about this jaguar. "When Hayward and his son bore down upon them here---aficr tracing themr all the way from England--Southley and Ahmand saw a chance to take advantage of this big. tawny creature in the swamp. I suppose you know by now what the Haywards were." "Blackmailers, of course." I ans- wered. Alexander gritted his teeth. "You've taken plenty long to guess it, but you're right at last. "Their real name is Strumburg. They are erooks themselves. The elder Strumburg was a confederate in erime in Southley's own youth. I use the world guardedly, Long, and I think jt js true. I haven't any doubt but that Southley's early life wouldn't bear investigation. But that doesn't matter now. It's a joy, my boy, to come to the aid of one who has come to his own aid. Southley rose above that other es THE Ti ET e. ER TRA "I think that he escaped after a particularly reckless crime. It wasn't a crime that benefitted him financially, he says; but yet the hue and ery that was raised scared him from his eriminal ways. A man was shot, and though there were extenuating circumstances, he certainly would have gone to prison for twenty years at least, according to the way men weére sentenced in those days. First he went to India and Africa, and made his fortune. Then he came to America, as An-| drew Lasson, And all the time he "Then the elder Strumberg found him out. He adopted the name of Roderick, and sent out inquiries for this Andrew Lasson. He offered a huge reward to be paid a year after we found him, and of course Lasson--or Southley as we call him now--was to pay the reward. He came here at last, with his vicious son, and the work of blackmail began. They told old Southley-- in the grey twilight of his days---- what to expect in case he didn't come through with their demands. "They said they had proofs that would put him back in prison. The terror of his long years came back as never before, and he didn't have the strength and judgment to fight it any longer. Old age was upon. him. He gave way, again and again. And even today he wouldn't be free if it hadn't been for the real hero of Southley Downs--his servant Ahmad Das, "Ahmad Das is a mystic. Long, you're a doctor, and you don't he- lieve in prenatal influence. You say it's all bunk. Yet it is true that Ahmad Das's mother was attacked by a tiger, that the creature died when Ahmad Das was horn--and it is true that Ahmad has the most remarkable, natural, catlike grace of any man I ever saw. Of course he Just pretended the rest--his pro- pensities toward ereeping around on his hands and knees, It all lent toward the effect, He's a mystic, T tell you -- perhaps a believer in the theory of reincarnation of souls; and that dark oriental mind of his conceived an idea that I don't think most Anglo-Saxons would nave ever thought of, "He knew he couldn't kill the Haywards, That was murder, and would defeat their own ends in that it might draw attention to the past life of Southley., He knew that Southley couldn't satiate their rapacious appetites. They would cling and suck till the last cent was gone, Southley hought those clothes--paid for thelr cars, Other things were planned for this win- ter, So Ahmad Das conceived of the desperate scheme of scaring the Strumhurgs--or the Haywards as they called themselves -- from the estate by means of the tiger legend, "Ahmad Das had all the ma- terial in the world to work with. He knew it when he thought out the plan, This jaguar--a tawny streak In the jungle, and leaving its tracks in the mud--was of course his greatest card, His own natural feline grace and Hayward's naturally cuperstitious nature were cards, too. Wicked men usually are superstitious, Of course Ah- mad couldn't get the jaguar into the house; but it was a simple matter to rig up that tiger skin. Every day he put a piece of meat out in a certan flat rock on the hillside. It wasn't human bloou and flesh you saw there, It was good red beef; and Ahmad Das got blood stains on his shirt carrying it down there, And it wasn't any time at all until they got that hig cat so that he stayed around the jungle at the hase of the hill. Tae inside work couldn't be done in the bright light, so it was nece sary to pretend that tue lighting plant was broken. The faint light of candles gave just the proper atmosphere. "I'm crazy about the whole | Josephine and I found ourselves alone on the great veranda. "Let's walk down to the water's edge," she suggested. "It's drying up so qdickly., It will be gone in a few days more." "And I will be gone, too," I told her. She walked in front of me, down the narrow path. And I was strug- gling for words that wouldn't come, '" Did you know, Miss Southley, that Alexander was responsible for my invitation here?" 1 asked her at last, She did not even turn her head. 11 found it out tonight." "Do you see what that means? That I was sent here to serve, And all I did was make mistakes, "They started on the day we met--when I let you go without providing meaus of ever seeing you again," I went on. 'Fate protect- ed me then, I wonder if I can ask it to protect me now--after all the other mistakes I've made. And the worst of them all--the ones that hurt most--are the things that I said and thought of you." Her voice was scarcely more than a whisper when she answer- ed me, "They hurt me, too." "They showed me up as the poorer clay," I told her sadly, "They exposed me--a doubting and gdspicious man, and a blind man, too. One who is unable to believe in his finer instincts. Of course, I see now why you brought the pistol in your vanity bag. Tell me, Josephine! It was for no other reason than to protect yourself from Vilas Hayward, worse came to worst?" "I don't believe you are done doubting yet, or you wouldn't ask," she said, 'That was just part of the reason, Dr. Long. The other was that I was so afraid--so afraid, all the time," "You were with Vilas always as part of the blackmail your father paid; You were part of the price of silence, and you submitted be- cause you realized something of the power that the Haywards held over your father, What your father told the detective--that you were to be Vilas's wife---was from com- pulsion, not from choice," She nodded, it "And for the same reason you couldn't come to my defence that night in the den--when 1 had struck Vilas. And the reason that you told the detective of my quar- rel with Hayward that day as 1° was leaving was not that you were afraid Vilas would be implicated, but why was it, Josephine?" "I don't think you should ask me that. You've thought ill of me ~--S0 many times, The reason was--"' "Yea," "That I wanted you to stay, Dr Long!" We were silent a long time. And all the while I was searching about in a mind suddenly gone empty for the words I wanted to say. They simply wouldn't come, And then I became aware of something rapturous past words to tell, Something was stealing along my arm, so light that I could hard ly feel it through my coat sleeve, and finally it nestled at the hollow of my elbow, And then I found myself whirling, and speaking breathless words. "You'll forgive me, Josephine-- all those things I said--and did?" I pleaded. *Oh, sweetheart--" And no mortal eyes could believe the change in her that came when I spoke these words, It was one of the miracles of these latter days, At first she simply waited--as if for me to continue. And then, after a while she made me an answer, Part of it was just words. Part was the look that the moon- light showed on her face, But what was by a thousand times the big- gest part, the part no human be- ing could have been hopeful enough to believe, was a thing that her arms did, And then-- 'What happened then is a secret between us and the marshes; and the marshes are famous for not telling their secrets, One of their segrets is a ring that Vilas had given Josephine; and it lies in the mud of their bottom today, After a while a great owl hooted and called from the island, hoping to repeat his triumph of a few nights before, But Josephine turned her face just long enough to laugh at him, THE END Healthful Food in Perfect Form < = nothing taken away and easy digestibility added, Shredded and thoroughly baked for increased fiaver and healthSulness.

"And, lastly, how did you come Lo he involved in this affair at all? Did you come just because I seni for you?" "I'm a private detective, Long," was his quiet answer. "I don't work for the State, although the Slate employs me sometimes. Southley himself wrote for me to come--to help him out. I told him I couldn't at first--that was some weeks ago--but I knew a young man that would be the greatest as- sistance to him in the hour of need. That young men bad been in two or three bad messes hefore--the af- fair at Wildmarsh, and the story of the cobra curse, and the Mole.
