He was a man past mid- dle age, stout of ï¬gure and stem of feature. I realized that he was a man not easily turned from any course which he considered just. He bowed stifï¬y upon entering and said: “I haven’t the pleasure of knowing you. I believe.†I was dressed in a new suit of clothes, and I flattered myself that I would pass for a gentleman among strangers. “No. sir. but that is not necessary,†I said bris klxa ‘I'm with the air of one of authmity. “I have come to tall: with you about last night’s robbery." He st? 'uted visibly and then said sunï¬nxly “Ah I see! You’ re a detective!†I made no dilcct Ioply t9 this, but added: “I think the robbers who have re- cently been terrorizing the neighbor- hood wili soon he cornere e.d †He smiled again :mds lid: “Possibly. I kmm something about it that may lead to important results.†“I know that,†I answered, “and that is why I have come thus early to see you.†â€How do you know it?†he respond- “That isn't the point. I not only knowthat you know a good deal about it, but I know exactly the information that leads you to think you can expose the robbers." A He looked \aisitively at me and then said frm‘. . .-.;.-'1y: “What is it that I know or that you think I know?" ed. I looked around the room as if I ex- pected somebody might be listenin". "We are alone,†he said shortly. “You recognized the burglar last night before you shot at him,†I said impressively. H gave a stammered: “Who told youâ€"has my Wife told anybodyâ€"she was the only oneâ€.â€" “Never mind that,†I replied, wav- ing my hands. “I know. That is suf- ï¬cient for my present purpose.†“Ah, I sec! You’re a, dctccti'vc!†A. look of suspicion entered his face, and, probably thinking that I was merely leading him on, he asked: “If you know so much about it, please tell me who it was I recog- nized.†“Certainly. I’ll whisper it in your ear: “it was Charles Goddard Whom you recognized in your house last night and at whom you shot.†“The last exï¬ression of doubt left his face, and he could only agid slowly: I drew near to him and said impressâ€" lvely: "ï¬'ell, well, I don’t understand how you found it out.†. 'The man was completely mystiï¬ed, as I hoped he would be, and I contin- ued with a smile on my own face: f “Now, if you believe that I 15.an what I’m doing we will enter into the details of my mission here this morn- EGO on. I’m ready for anything.†“First, then, What did you intehd to do with this information?†“I hadp’t made up my mind,†he said doubtfully, taking a seat in an easy chair near me. “Wen, you either intended to inform the police or accuse Mr. Goddard ot the crime to his own face.†“Yes, one or the other, but mpst likely the latter. Mr. Gogï¬ard’s fath {r and I were great frien s. I shogng hate to see his name stained with (11%- honor.†“I thought as much,†I replied, “and it is to prevent you from making a mistake that I have called this morn. ing. I know more about this matter than you do.†“Probably. You seem to know all that I do. It’s wonderful how you knew it, for I swear I never men- tioned the matter to any one except my wife, and she’s seen nobody but the servants.†“That’s true. I never thought of that. Did some of my servants see “But other eyes may have recog- nized the man,†I said suggestively. “Don’t worry yourself,†I interrupt- ed. “The person who saw him will not mention it further. I’ve ï¬xed all that.†“Well, well; so early. in the morning, and you seem to have arranged every- thing before I could decide upon the ï¬rst step.†“But Mr. Goddard is not the only one concerned in these robberies. There is another and 1 think a more dangerous neighbor Who is implicated in the crimes. But he is too wary to be caught easily. He directs the whole matter, but keeps in the background. He must be caught at least and pun- ished if Mr. Goddard is to suï¬er. It would be a sin to let him escape and the lesser criminal punished.†“Yes, yes, of courseâ€"by all means.†“Then we must work together; - I’ve laid a plginhby which I can prove the guilt or. other_pa,rty.; If muwill “It’s lily business,†I added. Then continuing I said in a low voice: n ,, startled look at me and L- v ‘ Pl . I.» . ,. , “Anything that you think best. Pro- pose your plan.†“Well, ï¬rst, I. want you to keep the matter strictly quiet and not mention to a living soul that you recognized “So much the better. Let her con- tinue to think so and pretend that you think you might mare been mistaken. Then next Tuesday night I shall ask you and another person who is more Interested In Mr. Goddard than your selfâ€"Miss Stetson, in shortâ€"to accom- pany me to one of your neighbor’s houses. He will be away that night, and I .will show you some of the se- crets of. his little game that he con- ceals in his house. When he returns late at night, we can confront him .With the crime. I shall then leave it .With you and Miss Stetson as to what course to pursue. If we arrest the man, Mr. Goddard will have to be im- plicated; if we banish him from the place with the threat of exposure, we can shield Mr. Goddard and give him another chance. That, in short, is my plan. Will you co-operate with me?†Work with me and do as I tell you, we can face him with his guilt in spite of all his skillfulness.†the burgla; last night. Let the detec- tives work on the case as usual, but warn your Wife not to commit herself. Is she brave enough to do this?†“Yes; Ellen is'only too ready to shield \Ir. Goddard. I cannot con- wince her that I was correct in recog- nizing him.†“With pleasure. It’s an admirable arrangement. I believe we ought to give Charles another opportunity. I can hardly ï¬nd the heart to have him arrested.†“Well, I leave that entirely to you and Miss Stetson.†I had learned through an accident that Dr. Squires would be away on Tuesday and that he would not return until late at night. I did not know {what his mission was or where he (was goinn‘. All that concerned we was that he would be absent and the house would he left in charge of his old servant. I said nothing in reply, but after giving a few more directions I With- drew, promising to call for him on the evening Speciï¬ed to conduct him to the house of his unknown neighbor. CHAPTER XIX. ITH the danger of ex- ' posure of my master removed, I returned home with a lighter heart. I reached there in time to have the lunch served to him. He had not noticed my absence, and 1 congratulated myself upon a shrewd piece of work. I had at last deter- mined to. bring matters to a climax. It was two days after this before I got the opportunity to call upon Miss Stetson. I wanted to redeem her prom- ise made on the day of her horseback accident. It was the knowledge of this that made me anxious to appoint Tuesday for the little experiment 1 had in mind. When I reached the Stetson man- sion, I \"113 int'omned that Miss Stet- son \1 11s engine ed. The servants knew 110 by this time and While they did not ex \uctly tre 1t me as one 1’ their number they lid not accord me 1111 the courtesy due :1 gentleman. I \‘dS told to take a seat until the person who was with Miss Stetson had gone. My name was not even carried up to her, but I was too much preoccu- pied with my thoughts to resent this incivility, and I made the most of it by taking a comfortable seat in the waiting room. This room opened right off the front parlor, and just back of that Was the library. For seine time i remained seated there busily occupied with my own thoughts. but as time passed I became restless and anxious to make a change. Not hearing any voices, I rose from my seat and valked quietly into the parlor to look at some of the beautiful pittures hanging on the walls. This liberty, I knew. Miss Stetson would not resent, As I stepped into the parlor I heard the sound of voices proceeding from the library. I would have retreated to the waiting room if the voice of Dr. Squires had not arrested my attention. I could not resist the temptation to lis- ten to him, for. knowing What he was, I thought anything was fair enough for him. and I played the eavesdrop- per. The portieres between the parlor and library were drawn. and through their thick folds I could just catch the words of the two. The ï¬rst words of the doctor informed me that I had reached the place at a critical moment. “Miss Belle, you do me injustice to say that I do not like pleasant sur- roundings and that I am not like other men in my tastes. No man appreciates a home more than I do.†“I did not mean to insinuate that, doctor,†Miss Stetson replied. “I mere- 1y said that I thought it so strange you should like to live in that old de- serted, haunted mansion.†“1 do not like to live there. It was not a matter of ehoice with me. I was poor and had to in order to carry out my experiments." ("But~ couldn’t you ï¬nd more congen- ial quarters Without gbing to any more expense ‘2†5N0â€"that is, none that would suit my purpose.†' Thereâ€"was a short pause, then the doctor centinued: “But, Miss Belle, my time in the old haunted mansion is short. I’m going to leave it. My fortune has improved. and I shall seek better quarters. †“Has your discovery proved success- ful so that you can realize some money on it?†she asked eagerly. “No. not exactly that," he stam- mered. “But I have been fortunate “And Miss Stetson will agree with in another way. A flistant relative has died and left his money to me. It is not much, but enough to keep me in comfort for the balance of my life. It will amount to about $100,000.†“Indeed! I’m so glhd to bear it, doc- tor. Nobody will congratulate you more heartily than I, for I think you deserve it†“It is kind of you to say it.†he said slowly. "but there is one other thing necessary to complete my happiness.†Another pause followed in which 1 could imagine their exchange of looks. "1 would not mention this. Miss Belle, if 1 did not have your own word for it that you would never marry Charles.†the doctor began again in a labored voice. "But when you told me that you would not marry him 1 «‘hmwht that there was no longer anv reason Why I should curb my own love for you; Miss Belle, I loved you before that, and I love you now. 1 an: no longer floor; I‘m not rich. but I'll have a competency enough for lmtix of n.1, I love you, and your love alone will make me happy.†trembled mo 0 than the doc-to: to catch the ropls. “Pl‘ease don’t talk to me like that, doctor.†she 8: id in :1 voiw 1‘ mt had a piteous ring to it. “It IS inmussible.†â€Why impossible? Nothing is impos- sible,†he answered ï¬ercely. “I’ve learned to believe that anything can be accomplished if we but will it. Vhy can you not love mo and 111:11'1'3' me?" “You do not understand, doc-tor. Please do not nmntion it again. It is veryâ€"hard for me to say his.†“But will you not give me your rea- sons?" he continued passionately. "You will not Ix‘uu'ry Charles?" “No, never.†“Not even if I cure him of every taint of leprosy?†ry Inc? “No; I would be afraid to. I would forever think of iiâ€"drmd itâ€"holiovo that it would Show itself again in our children.†“"hcn why cannot you love meâ€"mar- There was a slight rustle of her dress as if she had risen to face him. Then she leplied $10“ 13, but (- ahulyz “Because, doctor, I still love Charles. I cannot marry him. but that does not alter my love for him. I still love him and always shall love him. Is not that an answer to your question? Would you ask me to marry you when you knew I loved another man?†An almost inmï¬culate sound es- caped his lips. He also rose from his seat. I heard him move toward the portieres, and I withdrew rapidly to the waiting room. There \ 'as a murmur of their voices for a few moments, and then the por- tieres parted and they entered the par- lor. 1 coughed purposely to attract their attention. Miss Stetson moved toward me, and I arose to meet her. "I fear the maid did not send up my name,†I said in reply to her inquiring look. “She said you were engaged and that I could wait here.†asked. “No; only half a minute.†I replied boldly. “You have a message from Mr. God- dard for me?†“Yes, a private 01 9, but I can wait.†The doctor walked out of the parlor and gave me a elOse, scrutinizing glance, but I was absorbed in studying the ceiling and (lid not meet his eyes. He passed toward the front door and bid his hostess good day. Then I walked into the library to take his place. They Paid the Price. The corporation of the city of Glas- gow wanted to purchase the Whistler portrait of Carlyle and in due course waited on the master of the gentle art of making enemies about the price (1,000 guineas). They admitted it was a magniï¬cent picture, but “DO you not think, Mr. \W’histler, the sum a wee, wee bit excessive '2†“Didn’t you know the price before you came to me?†asked the master with suspicious blandness. “Oh, aye, we knew that!†replied the corporation. Corrosive Ink. With an impatient grunt the book- keeper threw away his pen and put a new one in the holder. “It’s terrible,†he said, “how ink eorrodes pens. In sii‘ or seven hours a new pen will be- gin to scratch. It keeps me busy chang- ing the blamed things, let alone the ex- pense. There’s money in it for the man who will invent a noncorrosive ink.†An old man. a bill collector, re- marked to him: “My young friend, I’ll tell you a sure way to stop your ink from corroding your pen. Take a few rusty iron nails and put them in your ink well. The ink’s corrosive acid will play itself out on the nails. and in con- sequence your pen will escape. ' A pen that only lasts you a day now should, with my method, last at least a week.†“Very well, then.†said Mr. Whistler in his suavest tones, “let’s talk of something else.†And as there was nothing else of interest to detain the “corporation†they paid the price andâ€" trust a Glaswegianwmade an excellent bargain. Hospitality Pays. Cities and communities frequently expend large sums of money in enter- taining conventions, conferences and other public gatherings, both because of a spirit of hospitality prevailing or through a sinister desire to “advertise the city.†After the aflair is over and the visitors have gone their several ways the people ask one of the other, ° Does it pay to spend money thus?†There never was a case of public hos- pitality that didn’t pay, if not in dol- lars and Eents, in the extension and broadening of thatï¬nest of all senti- ments the brotherhood of mam. . .H‘ Cave you been \ aiting long "’1 she 9:) [To BE CONTINUED.) g. 5;“? “u“ J12: 4.2 mm mm; mm W.WWRAASLEMBDCDK§ 4 .1"; . 1.6†:I‘ Shewei FU RNETURE UNDERTAKENG our day and o'eneration.
