Bancroft dlacevcrcd that lie was, for tee first time In his life, contentedly happy. There was no urge te violent ex pressions, te Elnr, dance, shout.

He must errlve in JSlnth street ut four, or he would lese his chance te engage the one room va cant; for In this Instance he was net the owner but Jeremiah Colllngsweod. Se he rose from the bench and started across town. The Shadow following at n respectable distance. He noted with pleasure the well-bcrub-bed marble and the fresh mirface of the ruddy lir.'eK the genteel quality of the neighborhood. It was quiet, tee ; such nelsen an he heard came from a distance. He would de very well here. "e mounted the steps and rang the jan itor s bell. That person nppearcd shortly and even grumpily. 'My name In Colllngsweod.

At seven o'clock that evening The Shadow reported te his employer that Bancroft was domiciled, and calculated upon remaining in his new quarters for several mentlu,. Alse, that the voting man had visited hia lawyers, made the rounds of banks, nnd had, later, entered the offices of Brown & (Je., Investiga t0'"t1 et ,he Deportment of Justice. wwu wHm.

Hvsult, ids puizlcment will be magnified many diameters. In n few daya he will be Interviewing Gcenre. I can't untlcipote that. If he ap proaches Geerge as Bancroft, every thing ii arranged for his reception ; but If he advances under his assumed name Geerge will have te use his wita, which is my reason for employing him." After the Shadow had gena his way the professor fell te pacing the room. Ironies! They came up as thickly as the r'abled dragon teeth of Jusen. That boy, new, in that house ! "Beet and branch!" he cried, his fingeis clesini; convulsively. "Reet and branch!" Unaware of this menuee, or rather of the exterminating quality of it, Ban croft pursued his affairs te a happy conclusion. Up founts himself mere or less comfortably situated.
