InHntte cnullen lie slid out of bctl nnd
itoed up. He took no step, but waited
(or the bellying walls te sober down nnd
Hit violent hammering against nw bkuii

itipii Ida eyes closed, nmi went tnreugii

fdy. Except ter liie Kcjrtng, mere was
nothing in his peclu'ts; even Ills dollar
Wteb was gene. He staggered back

Tlth a flnnl elTert lie get under the
covers and tried net te think. Ity nnd
by the racking pains fell te the level
if dullness.
The money, the emeralds nnd the
witch were none. Somehow, lliis nil.
ftntura did net Jein up with what he
hid a right te expect from n man se
TWWtllc as Stun nit. l'eur thugs ntit
of in alley seemed te come from nnethcr
book. And one of I hem base enough te
ttrlke a woman. This bhet his thought
into a new clnnncl. Why hadn't Nnncy
tlken te ler liccls? Ills first thought
bid been te bold the rogues In check te
fire her time. Hut nfiet n blew or two,
tlien and glim, he Iiud fought for the
thrill and tliu fun of it, believing that
Nincy had run for lieti. .'mrd D.v, or
for help. ItiHteml. flic Imil conic te his
aid, ih"ciilly. ami must tlioughtieislv.
He reasoned thus, licenitxe none of the
iliillnntn. without Bufllclcnt i'uuhe, the
fight being In doubt, would have ribked
Dien-ai .Minc.v.
Wanning thought, shot with shnme!
While Nitiirj hud risked much te help

of it ! lleceii'.c she liked him because
he meant Femcthing te her! Trem the
hick of his tlirehbliiR head cntne the
recollection of mi old comic ftnnn

Be away uith your I.atln, away

All the learning jnu need Is te

Tis the HluRgern, net scholars, who
hirrest thn dollars,
And the wreath's en the head of
the museum freak !
But nh? In what manner would
hit death benefit Stewart? lln wna nl
will coining back te that. The circle
bid no bieak in it. Hut te rob him of
hll ftkh. which couldn't be pawned
fte hits! He ought net te think
efthw: tliiiips, but he could net help
hlaidf. If this mnn Stewart had been

Difjcrs. Well, that wna nevel: nnd
the ejpietntlen, daily in his thoughts,
ef finding another dagger nnd Mill

With contempt. All at onto he under under under

Hernet hlug about that contract he had

pretty genereu.
Would you like me te keep in eye en
this Stewart? It won't ceit you any
thing,"
It was a treat temptation. "Ne,
The affair ls'cloied."
" I'm thinking that this Kennedy Is
the very man who wrote that book en
antiques."
"That's n goe4 guess. If. I should
happen te need you again, I'll send for
you, Hetter go new. I'm groggy.
Get mixed up with some street thugs
last nllht, and they battered me up con.
SIdcrnbly. Geed -by nnd geed luck."
The detective gene, Unncreft's throb
blng brain tried te draw something con
elusive out or this information. . Ills
father Im.l wrlttpn "l'nid Kennedy in
Full" recently, while the mnn himself
had vanished nearly twenty years nge.
Hnncreft tjegnn te suspect that Instead
of solving the riddle hn had merely piled
Pcllen en Ossn. Still, Kennedy was
substance of n sort. He, Hnncreft,
wouldn't have te trouble his' brnln en
that scere ngnln. Hut In what mnnncr
had his father stirred the enmity of
Stcwnrt? The old circle, the old clrclel
Here the girls cnnin In, one with
toast nnd the ether with cocoa. Jerry
loved them both, differently. The
touch of their tender hands was the
sweetest tonic he hntl ever known. They
scolded him, nnd fussed ever him, ro re
newed the Huff te his pillews: nnd
one of them fed htm toast and the
ether het cocoa j and he knew that he
had nothing of which te envy the gedi.
"I'm going te get this way once n
week," he said.
"What?" cried Nancy.
"Yes, inn'nm. This Is worth all the
bumps n man could take in a single
night."
"Yeu peer nut," said Jenny; "If
Hen ever ceme In this way again you
go i'. th' hospital. We're through. We
haten't had any sleep yet en your ac
count." "Yeu mean you two sat up all night
with me? I wonder it I'll ever ap
preciate tnv luck? Supposing I'd mov
ed In soinewhcro else!"
"Horrible thought 1" said Nancy
lightly. "I didn't bring In the puppy.
He's full of pep nnd wants te romp.
Hut I'll bring him lu before I go te
the theater tonight."
"That'll be fun !" wondering
whether It was the puppy' threat or
his ears that she kissed ettenest. The
funny llttle codger 1 "New you two
run uleng nnd get some nleen. I'm all
right. Hick arc hard te kill."
"Did .ou Iere much?" nnked Jenny.
"Net enough te hurt," he answered.
He could lie easier these days, almost
blandly; that In, he could utter barm
k'Hs tlbs serenely, since these would
never react except upon himself.
"I wondered," snid Jenny. "They
might V -get jour whole roll."
"They didn't."
Nancy, retumini- alone te her room,
drew upon nil her com age und tele
phoned Craig's heme: but Craig had
net et returned from the country. Fer
n bhert time her thoughts were confus
ed. A strungc kind of lever, net te
telephone, net te send her even a note!
The deed must be done, It was Inescap
able; but for nil that her immediate
Hcnsatlen wns of relief, with an under
current of slinmc that she should wel
come this respite. The longer It was
delayed the harder te de. Hut one
dct'lMen she bad come te irrevocably;
bhc would net hide behind the telephone
or n letter; she would inn It e her miser
nble confeedon here In this room, face
te face with him. 'Kite ber self-re -pect
would always be n shattered
thin,?. She would net try te escape
miy hurt that was due her. But, eh, te
have it ever and done with, ever nnd
done with! Still dressed, she flung
herself upon the lounge nnd slept until
four.
The Doerplnte
Soen after becoming n tenant Ban
croft had had a bed lump installed.
This dny the janitor had rigged up
the key se that Bancroft could have
llxht or darkness merely by pulling a
ttring. At nine o'clock that night he
nli.it off the light and talked softly te
hlug Foe, who occupied a aide of the
pillow and snored frequently, because
nt certain angles it was hard for hnn
te breathe easily with that Jeke of n
nose. ,
"You're a lucky pup, Ling,"
Ling Foe's tall admltted th soft
Impeachment.
"She took a let of trouble for 'you
one night; mud nnd rain, and nil that,
no ou weuldnVt be thirsty."
Ling Foe remembered thnt night.
"Of course. I'm a feel."
Line Foe didn't knew about that.
"I haven't a chance In the world;
hut It's kind of hard. De yen think
she leres anybody else?"
"Me," said Ling Foe's tall.
"I mean, does she care for Craig V
I shouldn't blame bar. Craig has
everything. Be knows all th tricks
of attraction t and I'm only a poof
hick from the stleks, as Jenny would
say. Lord, hew the man can play the
piano! And I enn't pick out 'Yankee
Deedle' with one finger."
"Music tickles my cars," said Ling
Foe's tall, "and makes me sing."
"We human beings are funny, Ling.
T want te knew the future; and yet if
the eminent lady from Cumee entered
at this moment, ready te foretoll, I'd
hoot hpr hence. Why? Because hope's
the only thing 'worth having; and nil
hepe would vnnlah If we could knew
tmno.'rew. There wouldn't be any geed
Bterles either. A story la always some
body else's hope. Ling, I'm all bang
ed up becnuw) Cinlg's turkev choked
me. Sounds funny, doesn't It? Truth,
though. Well, let'H go te Bleep."
Ling Feed had long since been ready
for that, lln rose, turned nreund a
few times, thin curled up en the snot
he hml Just vacated, thereby executing
ene of these deg mysteries humans will
never solve. But scarcely had the pup
pv bejun te snore than a true growl
vibrated his llthn body.
"Sh!" whispered Bancroft, alert.
Out of the sllence cirne a slight click,
which Bancroft instnntly placed. It
enme from the lock In the deer.
"Come right In, Mr. Stewarti come
right in?" he cnlled, cheerfully, If
Ironically, through the dark.
The noise the clicking tn th key
hole censed Instantly. Ne ether sound
followed directly; though Bancroft
nt tuned his hearing te running feet, be
heard nothing; but a minute later there
cmuu thn sound of n deer reuchtv
cloned, Thern wouldn't be any dagger
or tewie unite tenignt.
But hard upon this thought came
nnethcr, ipilte bewildering. Stewart
had net known that his victim was laid
up in hed. New, what could that pot pet
r I hly hlgnlfy? Stewart wa thorough.
Hnncreft was assured thnt If Stewart
had mt thew) thugs In th alley h
would be most certain te And out what
they had accomplished. Again, tt had
net secmeil possible that Stewart would
sink te petty robbery. If th man baa
any scheme It would have breadth and
ericlnnllty. Chance medley, then:
ordinary thugs who would have pounced
upon any mnn well dressed, Sugges
tion; the Idea of the alley had been
suggested te him at the start a having
n new and peculiar Interest once the
Great Adventure contract wns signed.
