CHAPTER V.—Continued.
Here was a burglar with the sense
of humor.
"What can I do for you?" 1 asked
blandly.
"Firstly, as they say, you might tell
nie what you and this lady are doing
In this lonesome cellar."
"Say 'sir,' when you address me."
"Yes, sir."
"The lady and I were playing hide
and-seek."
"Nice game, sir," —grinning. "Were
you trying to hide under the coal?"
"Oh, no; I was merely exploring it."
"Say 'sir,' when you address me."
"Sir."
"You're a cool hand, sir."
"1 am gratified to learn that our ad
miration is mutual. But what are you
doing here?"
"I was ascertaining if the law was
properly observed, sir," shaking with
silent laughter.
"But what puzzles me," I went on,
"is the fact that you could gather the
gems in that garb." For I was posi
tive that this was the Galloping Dick
every one was looking for.
"1 don't understand a word you say,
sir. I'm an inspector of cellars, sir,
not a jeweler. So yo' 1 and the lady
was playing hide-and-seek? Come,
now, what is your graft? Is all the
push here to-night?"
"That depends,"—cursing under my
breath that I wore a gown which ham
pered my movements. For, truth to
tell, I was watching him as a cat
•watches a mouse.
"Well, sir, we of the profession
never interferes with gentlemanly
jobs, sir. All I want of you is to help
me out of here."
"1 am not a burglar."
"Oh, 1 understand, sir; I understand
completely. A gentleman is always
a gentleman, sir. Now, you can re
turn to that coal bin. I was just about
to make for it when you lit that can
dle."
"Why not leave by the cellar
doors?"
"I have my reasons, sir; most satis
factory reasons, sir. I prefer the win
dow. Get along!"—his tones suddenly
hardening.
I got along.
"The lady may sit down, sir," he
said courteously.
"Thank you, I will," replied the girl,
plumping down on an empty winecase.
(She afterward confessed that if she
hail not sat down cn the box, she would
have sat down on the cellar floor, as a
sort of paralysis had seized her knees.)
I stepped into the coal bin and rested
fhe candle on the little shelf for that
purpose. I was downright anxious to
see the fellow safely away. There
wasn't room in that cellar for the
three of us. His presence doubly pn
dangered us and multiplied the com
plications. I was in no position to
force the gems from him. A man who
has ten thousand dollars' worth of
jewels on his person doesn't stop at
shooting; and i possessed a healthy
regard for my skin. 1 opened the win
dow and caught it to the ceiling by a
hook 1 found there.
"There i» a stout screen, my man."
"Take this, sir, and cut it out," —
handing me a pair of wire clippers,
holding his lantern under his arm
meanwhile. The muzzle of the re
volver, during all this time, never
wavered in its aim at my head.
1 went to work at the screen and
presently it fell inward.
"Is that satisfactory?"—with im
pressive irony.
"You are the most perfect gentle
man that I ever see, sir!"
The girl laughed hysterically.
"Now what ?" The fun was begin
ning to pall on me.
"Step out of the bin and stand aside.
Sit down by the lady. Maybe she's a
bit frightened."
I obeyed him to the letter.
"Thanks!" With the agility of a
.'at he leaped up and wriggled through
the window. He turned. "Good night,
sir. Sometime maybe I'll do the same
for you, sir."
"Goto the devil!" I snarled.
"My, my! What a temper, sir! I
wouldn't, have thought it of you, and a
nice lady in speaking distance!"
He disappeared.
The girl laid a hand on my arm.
"You have acted very sensibly, Mr.
Cornstalk. If you had not, it is quite
certain he would have shot you."
"It would have been a good thing
for me if he had. He has gone, and
the jewels have gone with him. I
/adn't the least chance; the wretch!
He probably came disguised as a
plumber, and nobody suspected him."
"But if he possessed the ten of
hearts, why should he have left this
way?"
"Possibly my idea was only an imi
tation of his. There must have been
at least a dozen tens of hearts. My
dear young lady, I would give a good
deal if you wore well out of this. I
believed ruy plan was for tile best, and
instead I have simply blackened the
case against us. I have been too ad
venturous. The situation looks very
serious just. now. Of course, in the
long run, we shall clear ourselves;
but it will take some fine arguing to
do it, and possibly half a dozen law
yers."
"It is a terribly embarrassing pre
dicament; but. since we started out
together, we'll hang together." She
held out her hand to me. "It will be
fun to extricate ourselves with full
honors."
"You're a brick!" And I pressed
her hand tightly.
"Now, I wonder why the burglar
didn't try those cellar doors?" she
murmured.
"By Jove, I'll soon rind out! Come
on! There's hope yet."
This time we reached the stone
steps without interference. 1 gave the
candle to the girl, cautiously put a
shoulder against, one of the doors, and
gave a gentle heave. It was not
locked. Through the thin crack I
looked out upon the bright world of
moonshine and crystal. Instantly I
permitted the door to settle into its
accustomed place. 1 readily under
stood the burglar's reasons. Seated
upon a box. less than a dozen feet
away, and blissfully smoking one of
the club's cigars, sat a burly police
man. So they had arrived upon the
scene!
"What is it?" asked the girl, as I
motioned her to retreat.
"The worst has come; the police!"
—dramatically.
"Gracious heavens, this is frightful!
We shall never get out now. Oh dear!
•What Can I Do for You?'
Why did I ever come? It will be in
the papers, with horrid pictures. We
ought not to have left the ball room.
Our very actions will tell heavily
against us. Awful!"
"Now, don't you worry. They will
not take any notice of you, once they
set eyes upon me. Homo sum! They
are looking for me. There's only one
superfluous ton of hearts. 1 have it."
"But I shall be found with you, and
the stupid police will swear 1 atn au
accomplice." She wrung her hands.
"Hut no jewels will be found upon
us," 1 argued half-heartedly.
"They will say we have already dis
posed of them."
"Hut the real burglar—"
"They will say that he came into
the cellar at our bidding."
This girl was terribly reasonable
and direct.
"Hang it! 1 know Teddy Hamilton,
the .\I. F. H. He'll go my bail, and
yours, too. for that matter. Come,
let's not give up. There must be
some other way out."
"1 wish I might believe it. Why
did I come?"—a bit of a wail stealing
into the anger in her voice.
"This is Tom Fool's Night. and no
mistake," I assented ruefully.
"But I am 8 bigger fool than you
are; I had an alibi, and a good one."
"An alibi? Why on earth, then, did
you follow me? What is your alibi?"
"Never mind now. We should still
be in this miserable cellar," —briefly.
What a night! A am so ashamed! I
shall be horribly compromised."
"I'll take the brunt of it all. I'm
sorry; but, for the love of Heaven,
don't cry, or I shall lose what little
nerve I have left."
"I am not crying!" she denied em
phatically. "My inclination is to
shriek with laughter. I'm hysterical.
And who wouldn't be, with police of
ficers and cells staring one in the
face? Let us be going. That police
man outside will presently hear us
whispering if we stand here much
longer."
There was wisdom in this. So.
once again I took the candle, and we
marched back. There wasn't a sin
gle jest left in my whole system, and
it didn't look as if there was ever
going to be another supply. We took
the other side of the furnace, and at
length came to a flight of wooden
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1907.
stairs, leading somewhere into the
club. It.was our last chance, or wa
should lie obliged to stay all night iu
some bin; for it would not be long be
fore they searched the cellars. If
this flight, led into the kitchen, we
were saved, for I could bluff the serv
ants. We paused. Presently we as
cended, side by side, with light but
firm step. We reached the landing in
front of the door without mishap.
From somewhere came a puff of air
which blew out the candle. I struck
a match viciously against the wall —
and blundered into a string of cook
ing-pans! It was all over, the agony
of suspense!
Blang! Rumpity • bumpity - blang
blang!
1 have heard many stage thunders
in my time, but that racket heat any
thing and everything this side of siege
guns.
Instantly the door opened and a po
liceman poked his head in. Before I
had time to move, he grabbed me by
the arm and yanked me—into the ball
room! The girl and I had made a
complete circuit of the cellars, and
had stumbled into the ball-room again
by the flight opposite to that by which
we left it. Cheerful prospect, wasn't
it? The adventure had ceased to have
any droll side to it.
"Aha!" cried the base minion of the
law. "Here you are, then! Hello,
everybody! Hello!" he bawled.
Caught! Here we were, the Hlue
Domino and myself, the Grey Capu
chin, both of us in a fine fix. Dis
covery and ejection I could have stood
with fortitude and equanimity; but
there was bad business afoot. There
wasn't any doubt in my mind what
was going to happen. As the girl said,
there would be flaring head-lines and
horrid pictures. We were like to he
the newspaper sensation of the day.
Arrested and lodged in jail! What
would my rich, doting old uncle say
to that, who had threatened to dis
inherit me for lesser tilings! I felt
terribly sorry for the girl, but it was
now utterly impossible to help her, for
I couldn't help myself.
And behold! The mysterious stran
ger 1 had met in the curio-shop, the
fellow who had virtually haunted me
for six hours, the fellow who had mas
queraded as Caesar, suddenly loomed
up before me, still wearing his sardon
ic smile. At his side were two more
policemen. He had thrown aside his
toga and was in evening dress. His
keen glance rested on me.
"Here he is, Mr. Haggerfty!" cried
the policeman cheerfully, swinging me
around.
A detective! And Heaven help me,
he believed me to lie the thief! Oh,
for Aladdin's lamp!
CHAPTER VI.
I stood with folded arms, awaiting
his approach. Nonchalance is always
respected by the police. I must have
presented a likely picture, however—
my face blackened with coaldust, cob
webs stringing down over my .eyes,
my Capuchin gown soiled and rent.
The girl quietly took her place beside
me.
"So you took a chance at the cel
lars, eh?" inquired the detective ur
banely. "Well you look it. Will you
go with us quietly, or shall we have
to use force?"
"In the first, place, what do you and
your police want of me?" I returned
coolly.
He exhibited his star of authority.
"I am Haggerty of the Central Of
fice. I want you for several things."
Several things? I stared at him
stupidly. Several things? Then it
came to :ne, with a jar like an earth
quake. Tlie story in the newspaper
returned to my vision. Oh, this was
;*JO much, altogether too much! He
took me to he the fashionable thief
for whom half the New York police
force were hunting. My sight swanj
for a moment in a blur.

THE "SHARK PAPERS"
DESTROYED IN THE RECENT
EARTHQUAKE AT KINGSTON.
Documents Found In Fish's Belly
Which Convicted Captain of Amer
ican Brig of Carrying Contra
band of War.
When the earthquake, and the lire
which followed, devastated Kingston,
Jamaica, there was destroyed, among
other things, a relic and reminder of
by-gone days which is of special in
terest to Americans. Few perhaps
of those living to-day, or even of
those who have visited Kingston
itself, know the story of the famous
"Shark Papers," and how they brought
conviction to an American sea captain,
it is a sort of Jonah and the whale
story, with the corroborating evidence
of the truth of the story to be found
in the existence to-day of the head of
the shark which figured so prominent- '
ly in the case, and which just in the
nick of time supplied the evidence
needed.
If the papers, which the accommo
dating flsh swallowed as they were
thrown overboard, and later gave up
after it had been caught by an Eng
lish gunboat are destroyed, there still
remains the jaws of the flsh to bear '
their mute testimony to the truth of as j
remarkable a sea tale, with its almost
miraculous coincidences, as was ever
told.
For over a century the Institute of
Jamaica has treasured the famous pa- !
pers which have probably been dei
stroyed in the fire which followed the
wrecking of the building by the earth
quake.
The story of these cherished ship's i
papers is worth repeating, especially
to an American, who is always able
to appreciate a good story, even if it
is one on his own countrymen. It
seems that in 179!) the American brig j
Nancy had been causing the British !
a deal of trouble, and was suspected !
of carrying contraband of war, but |
had always been able to escape detec- ,
tion, and in the last case in which her j
captain was convicted and the brig
confiscated by the triumphant English- j
men she would have escaped again j
had not circumstances stranger than '
the wildest fiction combined to place !
in the hands of the court at Kingston j
the evidence which was needed to con-1
vict of the violation of international j
law.
It seems that the Nancy had been !
overhauled and brought into Port I
Royal under suspicion of being en- |
gaged in the carrying of contraband i

lowed the Papers.
of war, but the examination of her !
papers brought no incriminating evi- j
dence to light and she was about to I
be let go when the British gunboat j
Ferret steamed into the harbor and j
changed the whole aspect of the case, j
While cruising off the mouth of the 1
harbor, the crew on the latter boat
had been relieving the monotony by j
Ashing for shark, which abounded in j
those waters. In the course of the ex- <
citing sport an unusually large fellow ;
was caught, and when he had been
hauled on board, the first thing done !
was to investigate the curiosity shop I
of his interior, for every sailor knows \
the stomach of the average shark is j
hound to contain evidences of his \
wicked and wayward life. And so it was j
in this case, for among other things I
found was a bundle of papers, the ap- ;
pearance and condition of which in- I
dicated that they had not been long |
in the stomach of the !<ig flsh, for the ;
inside of the roll was scarcely damp j
from contact with the water.
Lieut. Michael Fitton, commander of j
the boat, and into whose hands the I
papers were at once placed, instantly |
recognized their character, and sur- j
mising that they had been thrown
overboard by some brig when it had 1
been captured, he started immediately ;
for Port Royal.
Lieut. Fitton quickly acquainted the I
authorities with the new evidence
which had so miraculously come into
his possession, and the Nancy was
again taken into custody. The case
was tried at Kingston, where the true
papers of the Nancy were putin evi
dence, and as a result the brig was
confiscated and her skipper fined and
sent to prison.
So remarkable were the incidents in
connection with this case that, the pa
pers were preserved at Kingston.
Lieut. Fitton had the jaws of the shark
mounted. They were for some time
on display at Port Royal with this
label written by the lieutenant at
tached :
"Lieut. Fitton recommends these
jaws for a collar for neutrals to swear
through."
A few years later they were taken
to London, and are now in possession
of the United Service Institution,
where they may be seen by visiting
Americans who are interested enough
in the story of the "Shark Papers" to
look tliem up.

Indian's Answer a Real Triumph of

Vaux told a reporter the other day an
Indian story.
"There wa3 a certain commission

with rude scorn. One day a chief en
tertained this man in his tepee, tell
ing him over the tobacco many quaint
legends.
"One legend concerned a plague of
grasshoppers. The chief told elo
quently how grasshoppers overran
the land, eating the grain, and how
the medicine men averted a famine
by offering a silver grasshopper to
the Great Spirit, whereupon all that
deluge of grasshoppers disappeared.
"But the commissioner scoffed at
the tale.
"'Are you Indians such fools,' he
said, 'as to believe such rubbish?'
"'O, no,' said the chief, gravely,
'or we'd long ago have offered the
Great. Spirit a silver pale face.'" —

Mother Finds a Food for Grown-Ups

Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not

A Phila. lady, after being benefited

Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She

there is no acute disease but in which

That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills win.

Is no speculation but the fact has been
proved in hundreds of cases similar
to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1008
St. John St., Litchfield, 111. She says
"I never felt well after my first
child was born. I had a gnawing pain
in my stomach and could not hold any
food down. My head ached a great
deal and sometimes the pain went all
through my body. I had dizzy spells
so that I could not stand and seemed
to be half blinded with pain. Thesa
spells would often last for over art
hour. My blood seemed to be In a
very poor condition and my hands and
feet were like ice. I seemed to ba
growing weaker and weaker and could
not get around to do my work In

and the least excitement would bring
