Mr. Partington's
Secret
By ESTHER VANDERVEER
K il
One day • man appeared at Penlon
villa, a farming village, and opened
negotiations for a floor mill and water
power that bad long stood Idle. Ha
waa a melancholy looking man, never
smiling, otnr chatting fiunlttut^ vtth
those with whom be oame tn contact
and, above all, oncommmdcatlv* about
himself.
At first hi# reticence was not no
ticed, and no oce cared who be was
or where he came from, bat ae eoon
as It waa obeerved that these facta
were not forthcoming every one be
came curious a boat htm. Many a
covert move waa mmA» to iraw from
Mm some Information about htnealf.
but he panled thgia all so adrottly as
not to give offense and so t Mil folly aa
not to tell anything. The only thing
known about him was his name, Air
bert Partington, and when It became
known that be waa holding back In
formation about himself It was better
ed that even that waa sssmnori.
It lis a human trait whan people are
denied a knowledge about other per
sons' affairs to supply that knowledge
by Inference. Each persoe In Penton
ville who assumed usees* for Mi
Partington's antecedents did so on blc
or her account 'Hie woman account
ed for his mysterious appearance
among them on the ground of a love
affair. Borne of them believed that he
had been crossed In love, some that he
had wronged some woman and waa
hKllng from the vengeance dne him.
The men favored a theory that he had
married a vixen and was hiding from
her or that he had interfered with
some man's domestic affairs and was
keeping ont of the way of the Injured
husband.
xne uiung up cu um juui «mu uic
business matter* connected with It
were also kept la the dark.
All of a sudden Partington dlmppear
«d from PentonWlle, and It was no
ticed that from the day of his depar
ture all work on his plant stopped.
The property was left In chars* of
one Daggett Mr. Partington's right
hand man, who discharged every work
man, and a solemn stlllnwa settled
flown on what before was busy as a
beefclve. He resisted all efforts on the
part of Inquirers for an explanation.
A few days after Partington's depar
ture a handsomely dressed woman ap
peared In Pentonville and was driven
at once to the plant There waa blood
In her eye, but her llpe were drawn
tightly together as If she feared that
her Ire might lead her to say something
li would not be well to reveal. After
a long conference with Daggett she
was driven away, no one knew where,
and the theories of thoee who had
claimed that Partington's reticence was
occasioned by complications with a
woman teemed to have been confirmed.
That waa the last live episode In the
Partington affair. Daggett remained
awhile longer; then, turning the prop
erty over to a watchman, he too de
parted.
une u«j me wunu wu uiKKa uj
the announcement that Austria bad de
clared war against Bervia, and within
a short period there vrere more such
declarations. A week after the first
Mr. Partington suddenly appeared In
Pentonville, the work of preparation
..was recommenced, and there was far
more clatter than there had been be
fore. There was now no secrecy with
regard to the plant, bat every one con
nected with It wag so busy that he
had no time to answer questions. In
deed, since It appeared that the prop
erty was to be used for some kind of
manufacture connected with the war
in Europe curiosity was allayed.
There were thoee who remembered
the woman who had come to Penton
ville Immediately after Partington's de
parture and who claimed that, wheth
er or not he had come to the place pri
marily on business, he had certainly
been anxious to escape an angry wom
an. These persons received confirma
tion of their theory on the reappear
ance of the woman who had been
there before, especially since she ar
rived at 2 p. m. and Partington left
at 1:58, thus escaping her by only five
minute*.
Meanwhile men were working night
and day jetting the plant ready for
production. Then one day a commit
tee of ciflsens appeared at Mr. Parting
ton's office and told him that it was
being rumored that he was going to
manufacture goods that would endan
ger the lives of the people and prop
erty of the town. If so they desired
to enter a protest wherefore Mr.
Partington announced to them that
the plant was to be a powder mllL
The main part of the secret was out,
Mr. Partington having desired to man
ufacture an explosive in close proxim
ity to the PentonvOllang and, fearing
that if they knew what be was about
to do they would endeavor to stop him
by process of law, had kept his Inten
tion secret Considerable capital had
been subscribed by a rich widow.
Partington was disappointed in not
getting all the money he required to
, start his works -and was compelled to
suspend preparations. The woman
who had been Induced to furnish funds
under the representation that there
were ample funds, furious at having
been deceived, at once sought the man
who had deceived her. At her second
visit she happened to meet him.
The rest of the explanation was self
apparent The European war having
brought a demand for explosives,
Partington had no trouble in getting
all the capital he needed, and the
plant was at once completed.
