No more harping on that string, and no more read ing .f poetry. I'll never —” The rest was lost in his throat and was quite unintel ligible to the anxious listener. Self-revealing words, which an instant before would have aroused Sweetwater's deepest Interest! But they had suddenly lost all force for the unhappy listener. The sight of that hole still shining bright ly before his eyes had distracted his thoughts and roused his liveliest appre hend on.-. If that book should be allowed to lie where ft had fallen, then he was In for a period of uncertainty he shrank from contemplating. Any moment his neighbor might look up and catch sight of this hole bored in the backing of the shelves before him. Could the man who had been guilty of submitting him to this outrage stand the strain -of waiting indefi nitely for the moment of discovery? He doubted it. if the suspense lasted too long. Shifting his position, he placed his eye where his ear had been. He could see very little. The space before hint, limited as it was to the width of the one volume withdrawn, precluded his seeing aught but what lay directly before him. Hap pily, it. was in this narrow line of vision that Mr. Brotherson stood. He had re sume! work upon his model and was so placed that while his face was not visible, his hands were, and as Sweetwater watched these hands and noticed the del icacy of their manipulation, he was enough of a workman to realize that work so fine called for an undivided attention. He need not fear the gaze shifting, while those hands moved as wat ily as they did now Relieved for the moment, he left his post and, sitting down on the edge of his cot. gave himself up to thought. H deserved this miclmnce. Had he profited properly by Mr. Gryce's teach ing?. he would not have been caught like he would have calculated not upon the nine hundred and ninety-nine chances * 1 at bool, being left alone, but upon ibousandth one of its being the very one to be singled out and removed.

Write for Brotherson when he came to question him in regard to it. But now the whole thing seemed up! He had shown himself a fool and by good rights ought to ack nokledge his defeat and return to head quarters. But he had too much spirit ’ for that. He would rather—yes. he would rather face the pistol he had once seen ' in his enemy's hand. Yet it was hard to sit here waiting, waiting— , Suddenly he started upright. He would jgo meet his fate—be present in the room itself when the discovery was made L which threatened to upset all his plans. He was not ashamed of his calling, and Brotherson would think twice before at- • tacking him when once convinced that he had the department behind him. “Excuse me, comrade,” were the words with which he endeavored to account for • his presence at Brotherson’s door. “My , lamp smells so, and I've made such a : mess of my work today that I’ve just r stepped in for a chat. If I’m not wanted, say so. I don’t want to bother you, but you do look pleasant here. I hope the thing I’m turning over in my head —every ; man has his schemes for making a for ’ tune, you know will be a success some day. I’d like a big room like this, and a lot of books, and—and pictures.” Craning his neck, he took a peep at the shelves, with an air of open admira tion which effectually concealed his real purpose. What he wanted was to catch one glimpse of tliat empty space from his present standpoint, and he was both astonished and relieved to note how nar ' row and inconspicuous it looked. Cer tainly, he had less to fear than he sup posed, and when, upon Mr. Brotlierson's invitation, he stepped into the room, it was with a dash of his former audacity, which gave him, unfortunately, perhaps, a ! quick, strong and unexpected likeness to his old self. But if Brotherson noticed this, nothing in his manner gave proof of the fact. Though usually averse to visitors, espe ; cially when employed as at present on his precious model, he quite warmed to ward his unexpected guest, and even led the way to where it stood uncovered on ’ the table. “You find me at work.” he remarked. “I don't suppose you understand any but your own?” “If you mean to ask if I understand ’ what you're trying to do there, I’m free to say that I don’t. I couldn’t tell now, ' offhand, whether it’s an air ship you're planning, a hydraulic machine or—or —” He stopped, with a laugh, and turned to ward the book shelves. “Now here’s w’hat I like. These books just take my eye.” 1 “Look at them, then. I like to see a ' man interested in books. Only, I thought ’ if you knew how to handle wire, I would get you to hold this end while I work ' with the other.” “I guess I know enough for that,” was 1 Sweetwater's gay rejoinder. But when he felt that communicating wire in his hand and experienced for the first time the full influence of the other's eye, it took all his hardihood to hide the hypnotic thrill it gave him. Though he smiled and chatted, he could not help asking himself between whiles, what had, killed the poor washerwoman across the court, and what had killed Miss Chal loner. Something visible or something invisible? Something which gave warning of attack, or something which struck in silence. He found himself gazing long and earnestly at this man’s hand, and wondering if death lay under it. It was a strong hand, a deft, clean-cut member, formed to respond to the slightest hint from the powerful brain controlling it. But was this its w'hole story. Had he said all when he said this? Fascinated by the question, Sweetwater died a hundred deaths in his awakened fancy, as he followed the sharp short in structions which fell with cool precision from the Other's lips. A hundred deaths, I say, but witii no betrayal of his folly. The anxiety he showed was that of one eager to please, which may explain why ■ on the conclusion of his task Mr.- Broth | erson gave him one of his infrequent smiles and remarked, as he buried the model under its cover, “You’re handy and you're quiet at your job. Who knows but that I shall want you again. Will you come if 1 call you?” “Won't I?" was the gay retort, as the detective thus released, stooped for the . book still lying on the floor. “Paolo and Francesca,” he read, from the back, as he laid it on the table. "Poetry?” he queried. • “not!” scornfully returned the other, i as he moved to take dow-n a bottle and I; some glasses from a cupboard let into another portion of the wall. Sweetwater taking advantage of the i moment, sidled toward the shelf where ■ that empty space still gaped with the I ' tell-tale hole at the back. He could easily have replaced the missing book before Mr. Brotherson turned. But the issue was too doubtful. He was dealing with no absent minded foul, and it behooved him to avoid above all things calling attention to the book or to the place on the shelf where , it belonged. , But there was one thing he could do and did. Reaching out a finger as deft as Brotherson’s own, he pushed a second volume into the place of the one that was gone. This veiled the augur hole com- 1 pletely; a fact which so entirely re ; j lieved his mind that his old smile came - : back like sunshine to his lips, and it ( I was only by a distinct effort that he I kept the dancing humor from his eyes ’ 1 as he prepared to refuse the glass which Brotherson now brought forward: i I "None of that!” said lie. "You must , ] not tempt me. The doctor has shut , ■ down on all kinds of spirits for two , I months more, at lease. But don't let |me hinder you. I can bear to smell the I stuff. My turn will come again some I day.” I But Brotherson did not drink. Setting I down the glass he carried, he took up 1 the book lying near, weighed it in his hand and laid it down again, with an , air of thoughtful inquiry. Then he sud i denly pushed it toward Sweetwater. “Do you want it?” he asked. Sweetwater was too taken aback to i answer immediately. This was a move he I did not understand. Want ft, he? What I he wanted was to see it put back in its place on the shelf. Did Brotherson suspect ' this? The supposition was incredible; yet I who could read a mind so mysterious? Sweetwater, debating the subject, de ! cfded that the risk of adding to any such ! possible suspicion was less to be dreaded I than the continued threat offered by that i unoccupied space so near the hole which I testimony so unmistakably of the means I be had taken to spy ttpon this suspected man's privacy. So. after a moment of , awkward silence, not out of keeping with tit- character he had assumed, he calmly refused the present as he had the glass t'nhapplly he was not rewarded by see ing the despised volume restored to its shelf. Ii still lay where its owner had pushed it. when, with some awkwardly n-nttered thanks, the discomfited detective witliurew to Ids; own room.

That old tiling; site wouldn’t sing it! “The Little Brown Church in the Vale" was another favorite, he told her, cheerfully. She tried to remember that "Father is a good man," and said patiently that no one sang that these days.
