"Whnt'a that?"
"I wns thinking out loud, Mr. Bnell."
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 was
mero inclined toward n bench sea' In
Union Square Park, In the sunshine,
with the brown leaves pleasantly danc
ing In the fresh breeze. He had come
upon n great truth In life;, that the
only possible way te become happy ia
te make, ethejs vn. '
Te roe Mrs. Heme's face, when she
epensd the letter and beheld the check !
Bancroft would have given much te

Bancroft observed a clock In the dis
tance ; it was three. 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

he the janitor had never heard of Silas
Bancroft? That was unusuui. Had it
any significance?"
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

He will have the emerald company in

story. Hvsult, ids puizlcment will be

I can't untlcipote that. If he ap
proaches Geerge as Bancroft, every

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 !

of the exterminating quality of it, Ban

conclusion. Up founts himself mere or
