I will tell you, however, where he spent the night; he drove to Kennisburg a larger town than Lambert Corners, where an unusual letter would create no comment and mailed the bonds to a Washington firm of brokers with whom he has had some dealings.
I was dropped in Kennisburg to attend to the legal formalities respecting Radnor's release, while Terry appropriated the horses and drove to Mathers Hall. His last word to Mattison and me was not to let a whisper reach Radnor's ear as to the outcome of the investigation. He wanted a spectacular dénouement. The sheriff assented very soberly.
"Would you rather go the short way over the mountains by a very rough road, or the long way through Kennisburg?" I inquired. "What's that?" he asked. "Oh, the short way by all means but first I want to call at the Mathers's." "It would simply be a waste of time." "It won't take long and since Radnor won't talk I've got to get at the facts from the other end. Besides, I want to see Polly myself."

"He evidently had no use for my will nor for Kennisburg street railway stock I don't blame him; it wouldn't sell for the paper it's written on."
He sent word to Kennisburg, the county-seat, for the sheriff to come; and then having called a doctor and three or four other witnesses, we set out again for the cave.

He stationed two men at the entrance of the cave to keep the crowd from pushing in.
I sifted the papers again, thoroughly and painstakingly, but found nothing that would throw any light upon the mystery. While I was still engaged with this task, a message came from the coroner saying that the formal inquest would begin at ten o'clock the next morning in the Kennisburg court-house.
But Mose's suddenly taking to seeing ha'nts precipitated matters. Realizing that his father's patience had reached its limit, and that he couldn't keep you off the scent much longer, he determined to borrow the money for Jeff's journey back to Seattle, and to close up his own investment. "That same night he drove Jeff to the station at Kennisburg.
