THE OLD DOCK.
A-Iyin' on the dock o'nights
"l'ou hear the water creep an' lap
Kelow the old warped planks, an' sltp
An' nurgle round the rotted piles.
While deep wet shadows reach fer
miles an' miles „
Between the campers' lights.
A-lyin' there, you're half asleep—
The lake Weeps whisperin' one song;
Aa' throbbin' like a 'cello, strong
t£ t soft, the marsh-things play their
notes;
The moon hangs in the water low, an'
tloals
A thousand fathoms deep.
An' then behind Pine Point you hear
The steady pad, pad. pad o' wheels,
An' out the dark a headlight steals.
The night-boat's gone—she trails a thin.
Sweet echo shoreward o' a violin
That kind o' haunts yer ear.
Out there In that big room o' night
You're like a child that's all alone
A-lis-nin' fer some sound o' home.
It hurts to wake an' see again
The gray o' Heartbreak road, that's
made fer men.
Stretch out before yer sight.

CHAPTER I. — CONTINUED.
"And where do I come in, in this
business?" asked the newly appointed
councillor nervously.
"Ah; you are business-like," replied
the chairman, with a smile. "Listen
The detective is to join Councillor
Number Seven, as we will continue for
the present to call him, at midnight,
on board the yacht I have told you of.
It will be our business to see that lie is
prevented from getting there, and you
may rely upon our doing it, for thc
resources at our command can ac
complish anything. We are going to
take you ashore with us in the dinghy
•when this meeting is concluded. There
a skiff will be waiting for you, in which
you will row out to pay a visit to
•Councillor Number Seven. In fact,
yon will go there impersonating his
expected visitor Detective Marten. He
has never seen Marten, and doesn't
•even know what he is like, which sim
plifies matters very much. You see this
india-rubber ball, scarcely bigger than
a marble? You will have no difficulty
in concealing it in the palm of your left
hand. You notice that there is a tiny
tube or pipe to it? Well, Councillor
Number Seven has a long story and
a dry one to tell you, and from what I
Inow of him, I can promise you that
he will offer you refreshment, and will
not want much pressing to join you
himself. You must make some oppor
tunity, when he is not looking, to pass
your hand over his drink. As you do
so, squeeze the ball, and if one drop of
what it contains goes into the whisky,
your business will be done. But even
if you can't manage the business that
way, you will have no difficulty in
•effecting his removal, for he has
arranged to give the detective a berth
for the night, and you can easily chlo
roform him when he is asleep. We'll
Buppij you with the drug for the pur
pose."
"And what do I do with the body?"
asked the new councillor. His face was
mow deadly pale, and his fingers were
picking at the braid on his coat while
lie spoke.
"That too we have arranged," was
the answer. "You see that brown
leather hand-bag on the locker? Lift
!L Rather heavy, isn't it? Let me
fchow you what it contains. This
weight attached to a chain is heavy
enough to sink two men. When your
business with Councillor Number Seven
Is transacted, you will slip the chain
round his ankle, fasten it so, and drop
the body overboard. Then haul up
the anchor, row ashore, and leave the
yacht to drift with the tide. She may
ro a long way out to sea, and the
farther the better.
"On the first of next month the
council meets again, when you will
make your report. Put this letter in
your pocket. It contains instructions
as to where we meet and under what
circumstances.
"And now about the disguise. You
received, before you came here to-
Eught, the clothes you are wearing, the
ialse beard and the rest of it, with in
structions in regard to 'getting up.' "
"Yes," said the recruit; "but I
didn't know that all the seven were to
be disguised alike, and it gave me a
turn when I first came down in the
cabin. It is tho cleverest thing I ever
saw, for belianged if the seven of us
nren't as like as two peas. If we were
ail shuffled together like cards in a
pack I don't believe I could pick out.
any one of us again to save my life.
Wfiat's it for, and how do you know
«ach other again?"
"We don't know each other again,"
■was the calm reply. "No man here
except myself, so far as I am aware,
knows the name of any of his fellow
councillors. Why should they? There's
no chance of my turning informer. If
I turned Queen's evidence a thousand
times over, it wouldn't save my neck.
What there is against me is too bad
and there is too much of it.for that
ever to be thought of. Hence we are
i nown to each other only by a number.
You are Number Seven and I am Num
ber One, as I ought to be, for I origi
nated the whole concern. Every man
:here has been invited to join us on my
responsibility alore. I do the thing
•tr.reftilly, you must admit. In your
-awn case, for instance, I knew what
your suspicions wen* about the council
and I had satisfied myself that it would
be safe to make overtures to you, or
else you would not have received the
invitation in response to which you
are here to-night. And yet you don't
know who I am, nor whether you and I
have ever met until to-night. Is that
so?"
"It is."
The admission was made grudgingly
and reluctantly. But, blended with
something very like fear, there was in
the way in which the words were
spoken, the submission of one who
recognizes his master.
."As for your inquiry, 'What's It
for?' " went on the councillor who had
called himself "Number One." "I
should hardly have thought a man of
your acumen would have needed to put
the question. The facts about a con
cern of this sort can't be kept too
dose. Why should you put your head
into a noose of which others hold the
string? Don't you see it's safer for
each individual councillor if his ident
ity is kept a secret? This man whom
you are replacing on the council —if
he'd known who his fellow-councillors
were, it is very possible that he'd have
given all our names to the police and
that each of us would have had two
or three detectives on his track who
would have arrested us separately. As
it is, all he can tell them is that the
whole of us meet here to-morrow
night; but who we are and where
we hang out, he can't say: so that it
Is only now and then, and for a few
hours, that we run any danger. And
I need hardly tell you that we didn't
come here to-night until I had sat
isfied myself that no trap was being
laid to take us, and that there was
nothing stirring among the police
beyond what I have already spoken
of. Can't you see, too, what advan
tage this system of our all being dis
guised alike presents? You will have to
put your beard and wig in your bag
when you goto see Number Seven,
because you goto him personating
Marten. But you will resume the dis
guise wlieu the business is done. Sup
pose you are seen coming ashore after
accomplishing the job, and a descrip
tion of you gets into the hands of the
police. They will at once inquire at
the two railway stations if a man an
swering your description has been
seen, and they will be told 'Yes,' for
the six of us will be leaving Southend
—as far as possible by different routes
or by different trains—and the police
will be pelting all over the country
after us, leaving the course almost
clear to you. Don't you see how it
scatters the scent? And even if they
lay hands on one of us—which they
won't, for our plans are all prepared
beforehand —we have so arranged
things that it would be easy enough
for the one in question to clear him
self. That was how we managed the
duchess of Doncaster's business. The
man was seen—it was one of us here;
I needn't say which —and but for our
trailing a red herring across the track,
he might have been nabbed. But we
switched the bobbies off on another
scent, and a pretty fools' dance they
were led, while the real man got away
with the swag. The police are at a
disadvantage in fighting us. When we
bring oil any little job, they start,
knowing nothing about it, and what
they get to know they have to find out,
which takes time; whereas we start
knowing all about it, and with all our
arrangements made beforehand. In
fact, seven determined men with
brains, all working together as we
do, can snap their fingers at Scotland
yard: and it seems to me that there
is a big future for this syndicate as a
business concern. What say you,
Councillor Number Seven? Are you
still as strong as ever on joining us?"
"Yes."
"Very well. Let's get to business.
We'll go ashore now, gentlemen, and
arrange for the new councillor, Num
ber Seven here, to make his little call
upon Councillor Number Seven that
was."
He rose from his chair as he spoke,
and led the way to the deck, the re
cruit following closely behind him with
the bag. In a very few minutes the
clip of their paddles had died away,
and, cramped and chilled by my long
vigil, I crept, out from my hiding place
into the now empty cabin, wondering
how best I could goto work to frustrate
the villainy of this precious Syndicate
of Scoundrels.
CHAPTER 11.
HOW I WARNED A DOOMED MAN Ot
itis DANGER.
I was not long in making up my
mind. Had I known anything of
yachting, I should have set sail, hauled
up the anchor, and made for the shore;
but 110 First Lord of the Admiralty
knows less about a boat, than I did at
that time. Row ashore I could not, as
the rascals who had just left had
taken the dinghy, and I did not like to
call out for help, lest I should bring the
same crew of scoundrels back to the
yacht. Unless I made an effort to swim
to the pier-head I should have to re
main 011 board all night, and in the
meantime murder was being done.
Without more ado I slipped off my
clothes and dived into the water,
striking out with all my strength.
But it was not to be. The tide was now
setting seaward at a great pace.
Struggle as I would, I soon realized
that it was impossible to reach the
piet'-head; so I ceased swimming and,
turning on my back, I let the current
drift me, feet foremost, towards the
yacht which I had just left, paddling
meanwhile with my hands, that. I
might keep my body on an even keel.
As I neared the yacht I ralwl my head
a little and squinted across my chest
to my toes, to make sure that I should
not be carried past her. In doing so
i caught a glimpse of another smail
vessel that lay some quarter of a mile
out to sea and in direct line of the
current. It.was no doubt the very boat
on which the crime was to lie commit
ted. With the tide in my favor it
would not be difficult to reach Ler, 00
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER io, 1903
I turned on my chest again, and pass
ing under the yacht's counter, I struck
out boldly for the farther craft.
By the time I reached her I was
quite exhausted, and when somo one
jumped up suddenly and called out, "Is
that you, inspector?" I thought it bet
ter to say "Yes," and to get on board
as soon as possible, than to expend
what little breath still remained in
my body by entering upon what un
der nny circumstances would be a
difficult explanation.
"Well, I've always heard that you
were a tricky one. Marten," said my
new friend. "But I'll be hanged if this
doesn't beat cock-fighting. Fancy
your swimming all the way out so
that no one should know where you
were going to. I guess you're blown a
bit, aren't you? We'll go below and
have a drink, if you'll wait here a min
ute while I light the lamp."
My swim from one yacht to the
other had been undertaken in such a
hurry that I had no time in which to
speculate upon the probable appear
ance of the person whom I had come
there to warn; and I was therefore
quite unprepared to find, when I
joined him in the cabin, that he re
sembled in every way the seven mys
terious beings whose extraordinary
and uncanny likeness one to the other
had so startled me an hour ago. Had
I given the matter a moment's thought,
I might have known that there was
nothing strange in the fact that he was
still wearing his disguise. But the
events of the night had made me sus
picious, and a3 I stood there staring
MOTIONLESS UPON THE TAULE.
at him I could not help asking myself,
"What if I am too late? What if this
is not the man who was marked out
for murder, but the murderer himself?
Why did he bid me wait while ha
went down to light the lamp? and why
was he so long about it? Can it be
that I surprised him at his devilish
work, and that while I was waiting
shivering on the deck he was putting
the body out of sight and clearing
away the evidence of his crime?"
While all of this was passing through
my mind my companion had been star
ing back at me in a way which showed
that he too was ill at ease.
"What's the matter, inspector?" he
said, looking about him nervously.
"Any one would think you had seen a
ghost. The cold swim has affected you
a bit, hasn't it? Help yourself to a
whisky. That'll put life into you
sooner than anything."
He pushed first a spirit-decanter and
then a water-bottle towards me with
one hand, pointing with the other to a
rack on my right, where some glasses
were neatly arranged.
I poured off a liberal allowance, and
tossed off the half of it at a gulp.
"Why shouldn't this child have a
drink too?" my companion said, with a
feeble pretense at jocularity, stretching
a hand across my tumbler to get at the
decanter.
There was nothing in the action to
arouse suspicion under ordinary cir
cumstances; but as 1 thought of the in
dia-rubber ball,small enough to be con
cealed in the palm of the hand, and
of the deadly poison it contained, a
sudden panic seized me, and, scarcely
knowing what I did, I snatched up my
half-emptied tumbler and dashed its
contents on the lloor. The man sat
staring at me with a look in his eyes
that to my dying day I shall not for
get. His mouth dropped open all awry,
like that of a paralyzed man. His face
went grey, his lips white, then scream
ing out, " Voti're not lnsi>ector Marten
at all! I knew it from the first. You
are one of those infamous seven—one
of those devils from hell —come here to
prevent me handing you over to jus
tice!" he sprang forward, mouthing
and gibbering at me like a monkey,
and with outstretched, twitching fin
gers pointed at my throat.
I was on my feet in an instant, more
anxious to explain the mistake into
which he had, not unnaturally, fallen
than to defend myself. But neither
course was necessary, for the next in
stant his arm dropped to his side, and
with a great groan he fell forward
motionless upon the table. Agitation
had brought on syncope of the heart.
The man whose life I had come there
to save was dead.
CHAPTER 111.
I FIGHT FOR MY EIFE.
"You've made a mess of it, Marten,
haven't you?" said a voice behind me,
and, turning, I saw framed in the door
way a tall, clean-shaven man. He was
holding the very brown bag which had
been handed to him in piy presence
only an hour ago, but had he been
without it 1 should have known that he
was the newly appointed councillor.
One surprise had succeeded another
so rapidly on this eventful evening
that I was less taken aback than might
have been expected. And now that 1
Knew how unscrupulous was the man
1 was dealing with, and what was the
errand that brought him there, I real
ized at on«:e that, naked and unarmed
as I was, I should have to play my
cards very carefully if I was to get out
of the business alive. My only chance
lay, so it seemed to me, in keeping up
the role that had been thrust upon me.
So when the new arrival said, "You've
made a mess of It, Marten, haven't
you?" I replied as naturally ae if I had
answered to the name Marten all my
life.
"Yes," I said wearily, "I suppose, as
you say, I've made a mess of it- But,
since you seem to know me, I call you
to witness that I laid no finger on
the man."
"Well," said Number Seven, "all I
know of the business is, that I had
only just set foot on the yacht's deck
when some one screeched out in the
cabin. I hurried down as fast as 1
could, but was only In time to see our
friend here throw up his arms and fall
back. I'll stand by you if anything
comes of it, however, and will swear
that you didn't lay hands on him.
But I know why he sent for you to
come here to-night, and what it was
he meant telling you; so before- wo
go any farther I'd like to know how
much he has told you and how much
he hasn't. You needn't be afraid to
speak out, for I was in his confidence;
besides, I know as much of the mat
ter as he did, and can very likely put
j ou right on a point, or two."
The fellow's motives in trying to
wheedle me into telling him what had
passed between the dead man and my
self were not difficult to diagnose. He
knew that Inspector Marten had prom
ised to visit the yacht that night, and,
finding me there, he had not unnatu
rally concluded that I was the wily in
spector, and that I had in some way
contrived to outwit the scoundrels who
had been so confident of their ability
to prevent the visit from taking place.
If Councillor Number Seven could sat
isfy himself that no communication
had been made to me by the dead man,
he would not trouble himself greatly
about my movements; but if, on the
contrary, he had reason believe
that I had been made acquainted with
the facts concerning the syndicate, he
would at once decide that I must not
leave the yacht alive. The villain had
come there prepared to murder, and
he was not likely to stick at a trifle
when his neck and the necks of his
l'ellow-conspirators were in danger.
"Oh," I said, "there isn't much to
tell. I had only just arrived here a few
minutes, and our friend there had told
me nothing of the business about
which he had summoned me. I swam
out to the yacht, as you see, instead
of coming in a boat."
• "Why did you do that?" interrupted
Councillor Number Seven, sharply.
"Why did I do that?" I repeated after
him, so that I might have a moment
or two's grace in which to frame some
plausihle explanation. "Why? Oh!
only because I thought I could slip
away from the shore unnoticed if I
swam, whereas if I hired a boat I
might attract attention."

In Simple to the Point of
Anceticlnm.
Labouchere, one of the richest men
in England, is simple to the point of
asceticism in his tastes, according to
T. P. O'Connor in Everybody's Maga
zine: "To this day he is almost a tee
totaler; and his indifference to food
has passed into a legend. One evening
he came home somewhat unexpectedly
to his house at Twickenham; there
was no dinner ready. 'Go,' said Labby
to his horrified butler, 'to the nearest
ham and beef shop and bring me back
some cold ham and beef.' The food
was brought back; he adds that it was
conveyed in an old newspaper—but
that is probably a little embroidery
of his own invention —and he says that
he seriously thought of dispensing
with cooks and having his food
brought from the neighboring shop
every night. He certainly could have
adopted this practice without any per
sonal sense of deprivation. He tells
how once a somewhat awed host
showed his sense of Labby's superiority
by presenting him with sandwiches
made of ham and sponge-cake! Lab
by ate the sandwiches with keen pleas
ure; the prospect of telling the story
was an additional condiment to the
meal."
Ho " Cured.
Carroll D. Wright, an authority upon
questions of labor, passed a good part
of his boyhood in the New Hampshire
town of Dunbarton. There used to live
near Dunba.rton a physician remark
able for his pigheaded stupidity. Mr.
Wright said of him recently:
"A good story about this physician
used to circulate in our town. Ac
cording to it, an old woman stopped
his gig one day, and pointed toward
a house with crape on the door.
" 'So, doctor,' she said, maliciously,
'Mr. Brown is dead, for all you prom
ised to cure him, eh?'
" 'You're mistaken,' ho said. 'You
didn't follow the progress of the case.
It's true Mr. Brown is dead, but he
died cured.' " —N. Y. Tribune.
Did Xi(t Want It Mentioned.
A certain officer in the army, who is
very much disliked by his men, was
returning to barracks recently when
he slipped into some deep water. A
private in his regiment happened to
see the occurrence and with great
difficulty pulled the officer out. The
latter was very profuse in his thanks
and asked his rescuer how he could
reward him. "The best way you can
reward me, sor," replied the private,
"is to say nothing about, it." "Why,
my good fellow," said the astonished
officer, "why do you wish me to say
nothing about it?" "Because if th«
ether fellows knew I pulled yon out
you can depend upon it they'd get even
with me by throwing me into the wa
ter."
