LITTLE MISS SNOW, SPINSTER.
J-iltle Miss Snow Is on the trot
From cud to end of tin- village street.
Whenever you open the blind you meet
ili r sunny face and her smile so awcel,
1 wonder If she Is here to stay,
To visit the sick and poor alway'.'
A leaded bag dangles down beside
Tin trim little iigure trotting along.
J wonder il' it's unwise or wrong,
Tu ask did she ever hear lover's song?,
l'crhups—but then it was lons ago;
i*'ur now she is just our little Miss
Snow.
11 \ try door is open to her.
She with her step so short and quick,
She with her shoes that cllckety-cliek
Along Ihi ■ walk for the poor and sick.
She with her way so soft and mild.
Soothing the grown folk and the child.
L'nder her little gray cloak is hid
A heart that's tender and good anil true;
t'nder tile peak of her hood of blue
A pair of clear eyes look out at you.
nd sh.' smiles when passing, when
ever you find
Iter face when you look beyond tin}
blind.
'The tap of her lingers is soft and low
When sin- comes to the door where sick
folks are.
She never brings bother, or fret, or jar—
.Nothing to hurt and nothing lo mar-
Only quiet, comfort, release
From brooding pain—and her medi
cine's peace.
Many a day and many a year
Out of the shadow she comes to delight,
Out of her cot that and white,
Out of her gate in the dead of
Out of her garden of roses to bring
A smile to drive away sorrow and
sting.
1/ittie Miss Snow, our spinster sweet.
Tender and good and true—and great!
Open her door and wide her gate,
Kver on hand, early or lat"
You scatter sunshine wherever you KO,
Dear little spinster, little Miss Snow!

CHAPTER XXII I.— Co N'T is L*K JJ.
When it was all over, there was a
fV-adly silence for half a minute, and
then we knew that tlie game was up.
"Did you hear that, Stocker?' sail
a voice in the room below. "Did you
bear that? And if so, what d'ye make
oi it?"
Stocker's mumbled reply was not ]
audible, so we were not enlightened
respecting his views.
"Quite so," went on the voice. "It
didn't sound human, did it? And if I'd
beard it at night, I should have said
that this house was haunted, that's
■what 1 should have said. But being
ip the daytime, it can't be that. What**
that you say? Very likely a bird that's
trot a nest in the roof? Don't tell pie.
Birds don't make noises like that. No,
ii isn't a wild animal that Mr. Hall's
brought home from his travels either,
unless it's an animal by the name of
Hubboek. and he's wild enough from
all showing. Only I don't call him an
tmimal. I call him a murdering, sav
age brute. Anyhow, I'm going to see
what's under that roof, if I break my
r:eck doing «it. There's a ladder lean
ing against one of"the fruit trees in
th< orchard, and if we stick it up on
to}> of tlie portico, we ought to lie able
lo teach the roof. Anyhow, we'll havi
a try, so come along."
Councillor Number Six, the Silent
Councillor, Hall and myself must, I
suppose, while this was going on.liavo
been looking t lie reproaches which we
dare not speik, for as soon as the po
licemen were out of hearing, Hubboek
said snappishly—
"lt's quite incompatible that you
s-liould all look askance at. me as if
I was infected with African leprosy.
1 was in no way cognizant of com
mitting mischief."
"Quite so, Hubboek," assented Num
ber Two; "you couldn't help sneezing,
my good man, any more than you can
liclp getting tlie African leprosy, which
I trust you never will. The only mercy
i> you didn't yawn, for yawning, like
llie African leprosy, is catching, and
sneezing isn't. Hut the question we've
now to consider is, 'What's to b"
done?' "
"I think," said the appeased Hub
boek more deferentially, "if the coun
cil doesn't think the course too igno
n inious, that it would be advisable to
•ensconce ourselves under the table. If
tiie policemen climb up on the roof and
extract a tile to look in, they can't see
HP there, and they may conclude that
the room is uninhabited."
"By extracting a tile, our friend
doesn't mean annexing somebody else's
hat, explained Number Two good
h'imoredly; "all the same, I think he's
right. They couldn't see us under tho
table, and if they come to the conclu
sion that 1 lie room's empty, they may
decide to sheer off altogether, or to
leave one on guard here, while the
other goes 011 to Tarborough to re
port progress to the superintendent.
The situation is not very serious at tho
worst, for it would be the easiest thing
HI the world for us to overpower the
two bobbies, and either silence them
altogether or leave them here gagged
•and tied up. while we make off. 1
don't know that the former course
v.ouldn'l be the kindest, for the room
might never be discovered, and unless
they could manage to make themselves
beard, they'd stand a good chance 01'
<lying by slow starvation. But -if we
fan work things to gel clear away
without coming lo blows with the bob
bies. I'd rathei that it were so. They
may think this is only an ordinary
Milliard room that I've contrived up
befe for a fart, nnfl that they couldn't i
find tho entrance to.and that as Hub
bock and 1 scorned away, there's notli- j
ing to be done but wait until wr come |
hack to arrest our friend here. Ap- !
parently it's lie they want, not me, j
whom they still appear to look upon j
n. l « a reputable member of society. I
think our friends outside are propping
Ihe ladder against the wall, in which
case it will be time to adjourn lo un
der the table."
Before very long we heard the sound
of some one clambering from a ladder
to the roof, and cautiously picking his
way, apparently on hands and knees,
towards the top. Bv-and-by the
sound of a moving body ceased, and
then we heard the working and
wrenching, which told us that the new
i iinier was engaged in removing some
tiles. Meanwhile we "lay low," en
csonced ignominiously, as Hubboek
phrased ii. well out of sight under the
billiard table. The position was so
cramped that I was, if anything, re
lieved to know, by aii exclamation of
astonishment from the "extractor of
tiles" overhead, that the secret < ham-
Lei of Heath cottage was a secret DO
longer.
"Hi! Stockers! are you there?"
called an excited voice which 1 recog
nized as the sergeant's.
"I'm hero, sir," came the reply from
below.
"I always did think that Hall was
a bad lot, for ail his seeming so quiet
and respectable," said the sergeant.
"It's always the quietest ones as is the
worst. What d'ye think he's got up
here?"
"Fowls?" suggested Stocker lamely.
He was not a man of many ideas, and,
having lately covered himself with
glory by the brilliant arrest and con
viction of two small boys who were
robbing a henroost —the prevention of
poultry pilfering tilled a very impor
tant place in his conception of the
duties of a constable. "Yes, fowls, 1
expect," he added more confidently;
"least way, stolen ones that lie's kept
up there to be out of the way. It
s-ounded like fowls when we heard
that noise just now."
"Fowls!" retorted his superior of
ficer contemptuously; "fowls, you fool!
You've got fowls on the brain since
you got those boys convicted. No, it'a
something worse than fowls, I can tell
you. I always did think that Hall
wasn't all he should be. And him so
quiet too! Well! well! there's no
, knowing what any one's character is
till he's found out. It's a harem, that's
what it is. I've seen a'picture of one
in the Windsor Magazine, and recog
nize it easy. There's hanging lamps
that don't look as if they was meant
to burn respectable oil in decent
houses. And there's couches without
any legs, like a bed made up on the
floor —divans, don't they call 'eni? —
ail in stripes and gaudy colors, and
heaped lip with soft pillows. Down
light heathenish, I call it. There's a
big table in the ni» idle that's got a big
white cloth thing over it as if there
v.as something on it that was too
wicked even for Hall to look at long.
We shall find something pretty there.
I'll promise you, when we get down
Well, well, it's a wicked world we live
in."
"Is there any women there?" in
quired the intelligent Stocker, with
li.ore interest than lie had previously
manifested. "A harem's a place where
they ker-p a lot of lovely women, ain't
it? I've seen one at the 'Quarium
when 1 went to London. They had
golden hair, and wore trousers made
of gold and stuff, and lay about on
couches and looked cross."
"No, that's what 1 can't make out,"
i(plied his chief. "There ain't no wo
men, but there soon will be. you mart,
my words, llall and Hubboek have
gone to fetch 'cm now they have got
il all ready. That's why there's no
(ne at home to-day. A pretty pair of
rascals they are, a bringing their Ko
maiul Catholic ways into a Christian
country. I'll harem 'em before I've
done. You go and see if you can find
me a bit of rope so as I can fasten it
to the chimney stack and let myself
down into the room. I'm going to see
vhaf ; ou that table, harem or no
harem."
The seanh for a rope was appar
ently successful, and as the sergeant
had in th 3 meanwhile been working
hard to make the bv>le in tlie roof
large enough to admit his body, he
bade fjtocker come up and hold onto
the end which was hitched to the chim
ney stack, while he lowered himself
into the room.
Curiosity getting the better of dis
cretion, I very guardedly inclined my
j head outward an inch or two beyond
the projecting rim of the table, and
| twisting my neck round, looked up.
| The sergeant, hanging onto the rope,
! had just got clear of the hole in (lie
j roof, and was preparing to lower him
j self down hand-over-hand. Through
the opening ovwr his head, the red
and bovine face of Stocker was star
ing. He was watching the sergeant's
progress with eager interest, but the
movement of my withdrawing head
apparently attracting his attention, he
craned through the aperture, and
J catching sighl of me, pointed down
i with an excited yell to where 1 was
lying.
Whether the shout so startled the
: sergeant as to cause him to lose his
; hold, or whether what happened was
j caused by the letting go by Stocker
!of the end of the rope which was
i hitched around the chimney stack, I
! cannot say. All 1 know is that the
j unfortunate serseant fell with a crash,
| pulling down with him one of the
lamps that lighted the table. This
lamp, though of oriental and ancient
nianuiacture, hail been prostituted by
Hall to so base a use as the burning
of paraflln: and as artificial light was
a necessary, even during ilie day-time,
in our prophet's chamber, the lamp
was unfortunately burning at the time.
As it fell it struck tho edge of the
table ami cannoned--a terrible tongue
of fire —against the wall, which, as
the reader knows, was draped, lenl
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, • THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1904
wise, from floor to ceßlng with some
Indian fabrics. The room, being di
rectly under the roof, was always hot,
and this fabric bad evidently become
as dry and inflammable as tinder.
CHAPTER XXIV.
"FIKJS!"
There was, as I have twice already
mentioned, a strong wind blowing out
side, and this doubtless played no lit
tle part in bringing about what fol
lowed.
1 remember that as the lamp fell, a
licking tongue of fire ran—like a
monkey running up a rope—along tlio
drapery, and that before I had time to
get out from under the table, almost
before the gaping face of Stoeker had
disappeared from the hole overhead,
the entire roof was one sheet of flame.
I learnt afterwards from Number Two
that lie had the house retiled before
be and Hubbock had set. about con
structing the secret chamber. The in
telligent British workman to whom the
task was entrusted hail made a heavy
additional charge in the bill for what
lie called "weather-proofing" the roof,
by a method of his own inventing,
ui)on which lie greatly plumed himself.
111 the matter of keeping rain out. this
system of weather-proofing gave Hail
every satisfaction, lint, viewed from
another standpoint, it caused him con
siderable uneasiness, for lie had re
cently discovered that the material
used for wadding the interstices oe
tween the tiles, was a kind of skein
oaktrfn, which, being saturated with
tar, was highly inflammable. Like
every wise man, Number Two had a
horror of fire, and he at once decided
to substitute an asbestos preparation
for the oakum. The asbestos had been
procured, and the work of substitution
commenced, when the unexpected ad
vent of the conspirators, and tlitir in
stallment. a! Heath cottage, put a stop
to a work which the fates had de
creed should never be finished, for
within three minutes from the falling
of the lamp, the upper part of Heath
cottage was a royal roaring furnace.
"Warm work, that!" gasped Number
Two, breathlessly, when lie, Hubbock,
the silent councillor, Number Six,
and myself—coughing and choking and
not all unsinged—found ourselves out
side. "Warm for the bobbies, too,
poor devils The man on the roof was
in the thick of the lire, and must be a
cinder by now. I think the other chap
hurt himself when lie fell; anyhow,
he hasn't got out, and never will now.
We'd better be off, and by separate
ways. The neighbors will be here ift
110 time. But we must settle some
place of meeting first. Where shall
it. lie. and when? To-morrow morning
at 12, by the bookstall at St. Pancras
station. I'll secure a carriage to our
selves by the Southend train, and we
can talk things over going down. No
one will notice us there, and if they
do, they'll only think we are going
to a bean-feast party. So we are, for
we're going to give some of them
'beans' before we've done with them —
aren't we? Now I'm oil', and you'd
'letter do the same."
As tiie other four struck across the
field I made for the high road. I had
snatched up my hat when leaving the
cottage, and as there was nothing if
my dress to attract attention, and I
hat! 110 reason to believe that I was
known personally to, or wanted by, the
police,l thought my safest plan would
be togo boldly ahead.
After I had walked n mile or so, I
met a black-bearded man dressed as if
for bicycling and wearing a cloth cap.
"Can you tell me." lie said, politely,
"which is tiie shortest way to a house
called Heath cottage, in the occupation
of a Mr. Hall?"
"No," I replied, "I can't."
"Then you are a stranger in this
neighborhood ?" he asked.
"I'm a stranger to you," I said, curt
ly, resenting his inquisitiveness.
"I see. Then when you said just
now that you couldn't tell mo my way
to Heath cottage, you meant that you
didn't want to?"
"11' you like," i answered. "Take it
either way. It's none of your busi
ness."
"Oh. yes, it is," was his off-hand re
ply. "1 happen to be a police officer,
you see, and i shall have to trouble
you to return with me as far as Tar
borough."
Then he burst into a laugh. "Don't
upset yourself, Number Seven. I only
wanted to satisfy myself that tiie dis
guise was ail right, and it certainly
seems to be so, since yen didn't recog
nize your chief and late host."
"Yt.>.< took me by surprise," I said,
feeling and looking rather foolish,
"and gave nie a bit of a fright into the
bargain. I recognize you now easily
enough. But to meet you coming in
this direction and in a disguise was
enough to deceive any one. How on
earth did you manage it in the time?
You haven't been into the cottage
again, surely?"
"Easiest thing in the world, my dear
fellow," he said, lightly. "My motto
| is, 'Always be prepared for an emer
j gency.' \\ hen you saw me last, some
; 20 minutes ago, 1 was wearing a pep
! per-and-salt coat and trousers. But
my clothes are all made with two sides
jlO them. There's nothing unusual
I about this coat, is there, except that it
j is buttoned close, as all my coafs are.
| But. if you turn it inside out. it would
I be pepper-and-salt again instead of
blue serge. I always wear stockings
instead of socks, and the arrangement
iof my own by which I can change
j trousers into knickerbockers is simple,
and works so well, thai I think of pat
. enting it one day. The beard and ihe
cap I carry in my pocket, so I made a
dressing-room of the first secluded
place I came to, and here I am, very
much at your service.
"Now look here. Number Seven." he
went on. changing his tone abruptly.
'I slipped across the fields to intercept
vou because I want a word with you.
This council is getting a ghastly farce.
You and I and Hubbock can work to
gether iiil bat lue other two are
simply deadheads. Perhaps Its my
fault. 1 begin to realize that I was
mistaken in thinking I could handle
the team as Number One did. That
man was a positive genius. His organ
izing power was marvelous. The six
of us worked together under hint like
oarsmen in a boat. There was no
waste effort. He used the whole of
us, and put out his men when he had
any little scheme on, like a captain
placing his team in the cricket field.
Now everything's changed. One or
two of us bring the brains and do the
work, and the rest just look on, and
take no risk nor pari in the business
except sharing the profits. It's not
like tin? same thing it used to be. You
weren't a member of the syndicate in
those days. Then it was a power in the
world. Then tilings were planned and
carried out on a big scale. Number
One was a genius and worked the six
of us, for what, we were worth, so that
we were all like so many wheels in one
big perfectly acting machine. Now we
are just a gang of vulgar criminals,
with nothing in common between us
either in mind or methods except that
we share the plunder alike. The syn
dicate lias gone to pieces since the
chief's death. I thought I could step
into his shoes, and take it up and carry
it 011 from the point he left it at; but
I've found out my mistake by now, and
1 can see no good and a precious lot of
danger in our hanging together any
longer.
"But I'm going to make just one
more attempt, to carry a big scheme
through, upon the lines the chief used
togo upon, so that each member of
the council bears his part. If it fails,
I shall chuck it, and retire from the
syndicate altogether. You and I and
Hubbock could run the show better
without the other two men than with
them, and thrre'd be only three instead
of five "to share the profits. I fancy
you'll see your way to join us, and to
throw those two fools over. That's all
I have to say to you, and I'm going
now. But think it over, and if you feel
inclined to stand in with 11s, put a
floVer« of some sort in your button
hole to-morrow."

Her Heart IN Mimical.
Prof. Ileitter of Vienna, recently
astonished the medical society of that
city by saying, that one of his pa
tients had a musical heart. She is a
woman, and ever since her fourth year
she has suffered from, palpitations.
While stil! very young she noticed that
a harmonious and thrilling sound camo
from her chest whenever she breathed,
and a year or two later this music
became so distinct that any one who
was in the same room with her could
hear it. As she grow older it became
more shrill and closely resembled a
hum in voice. At present this curious
music consists of only two notes, which
are described as being very sweet and
clear. Prof, lieit ter and the other mem
bers of the medical society are now
studying this singular phenomenon,
and the result of their investigations
is awaited with interest by physicians
throughout Europe.—Stray Stories.

Canon Marriott, of Bermuda, spent
the latter part of the summer at hen

fond of music, and his acquaintance
with musicians is extensive.
The canon told one day a story
about Offenbach.
"Offenbach," he said, "once had an
unusually good valet. The man could
shave, cook, tailor, market, doctor
horses —do, in a word, a thousand
things. Offenbach nevertheless dis
charged him.
" "Why,' his friends said, 'did you

my door he would never keep in

Monsignor O'Hea, the wealthy Ito

a French general), and he himself was
originally intended for the military
profession. Once he was greatly dis
pleased at the smallncss of tlie collec

N' xt Sunday he soundly rated the con

A Wonderful Discovery.
Rroadland. S. Dak.. March 28. Quite a
Sensation has been created here by the i
publication of the story of (J. W. Gray, |
who after a special treatment for Citri c j
months was prostrate and helpless and j
given up to die with Blight's Disease. J
Blight's Disease has always been consid
ered ineuianle, but evidently from the
story told by Mr. Gray, there is a remedy ;
which will cure it, even in the most ad
vanced stages. This is what he says:
"I was helpless as a little babe. My j
wife and 1 searched everything and read !
everything we could find about Blight's
Disease, hoping that 1 would be able to j
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that 1 should try Dodd's j
Kidney Bills. 1 praise God for the day '
when 1 decided to do so, for this remedy j
met every phase of my case and in a
short time I was able to get out of bed, ;
and after a few weeks' treatment I was a
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills 1
saved my life."
A remedy that will cure Blight's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. ;
Dodd's Kidney Bills are certainly the \
most wonderful discovery which modern j
medical research has given to the world, j
