The Junior member of private firm of
detectives In New York becomes Interestc!
In a deserted houss, opposite which he
happen to take a room. While wutchliiK
It during a convalescence from Illness, the
blind of on Of th window are opened
suddenly, disclosing 'the tlKUre of a siiia.ll
man who waver bU band and disappears.
Three day later the detective receive a
mysterious letter, -appointing an hour to
'.ca,l. lit look aot'0a at the deserted
house, shading; Ills eye with the letter.
The figure reappears and reptats It sig
nal. . That evening the detective arm
himself, pushe open the irou gate of the
deserted house and enters.
'PArtrif.
There was not ft glimmer of light In
front of me, but. a I advanced into
the passageway. 1 wan distinctly con
scious that I was not alone there.
Weakened as I Was by my Illness, and
at the disadvantage under which a man
must always be In a place which is
both strange and dark. I found mysTlf
for the moment quite ready to turn
tall and make a Rood retreat. I knew
well, however, that as great dmujer
(were danger' near) would attach Itself
to such a course as to going forward;
o I ' cursed myself lnuudlbly for a
coward, and, dashing aside thr drops
of perspiration which had gathered on
my face, rached out boldly and gave a
resounding rap with my stick upon the
nearest wall. At the same moment I
detected a soft movement near me, like
the swish of a woman's gown. Some
thing gently JOMcheT.ie and 1 wheeled
rapidly about. "My left hand instinc
tively sought my trouser s pocket. It
was empty. I tried the other. That,
too! Both my pistols were gone. For
the space of three or four minutes, as
It seemed I to me. I stood still and
breathless, not knowing what next
might come. And then, suddenly, a
burst of strong llKlit struck me full In
,the face i A door, against which I
should have been brought to a stafd
.sttll In a moment more, opened, and
upon the threshold stood the same fig
ure which I had already seen upon two
occasions, founded for and instant by
the sudden illuminutlon. my hnnd went
qulcklyto protect my eyes. The man
who confronted me went through the
rame performance. He then began to
back away from me Into the room be
yond, motioning me to follow. Once In-stda-dt.h
the door closed behind us,
he took In either hand a lamp from one
of the tables In the room and guided
me up a flight of steep stairs which led
from It to the room above. As upon the
former occasions, when 1 had seen him.
he was without coat or waistcoat, and
Still wore the cotton nightcap tied
closely under his chin, A pair of baggv
trousers, worn and shiny, completed
his attire. I noted that his hands were
die colored with staains of brown and
fellow, such as are left by contact with
chemicals of certain descriptions.
There was a slight, scarcely perceptible
limp In bis walk, end when he turned
toward me I saw that he had recently
lost the brow and lashes which proper
ly belonged to his left eye.
r N"o- word passed between us, but
now, as we reached, the top of the
stairs, my guide wheeled suddenly
about, and. flashing the light full In my
facei stood gaslng .steadily into It.
Then he turned and went on again,
muttering audibly to himself:
"Three times he has given the sig
nal." I heard him say. "Yet he should
notube trusted. They are growing care
less or desperate. They have " I
could not catch the rest of It. A sub
dued murmur of other voices reached
me from a room beyond. My guide
deposited his lamps upon a table near
at hand, and. pushing open the door of
this room, again motioned me to enter.
Once more the extreme brlliancy of the
light iWhlch flooded It struck my eyes
painfully, and again, to shield them, my
hand went swiftly up. The three peo
ple who were In the room languidly
mimicked me. and I began to perceive
another' light "Three times ne nas
given1 thO'iBtgaal," by late guide had
aid. Apparently I had now raised the
count to four. It was a handy thing to
knowflrtjfthls knowledge also Informed
rn'ithar, through some misapprehen
sloHI ltis looked upon by new ac
quaintance as a confederate. Should
I bo unable to keep up the delusion, it
occurred tp me that my situation might
not be an enviable, one, and I began to
haveiafliitiuicomfortable longing for my
revolvers. The room Into which I hud
entered was, apparently, the large
drawing-room bf the house. Itlch and
heavy draperies hung at all the win
dows, so arranges as to carefully pre
vent any ray of light from within be
ing visible from the street, and making
the air hot and stifling. This was fur
ther Intensified by the all-pervading
odsrr fof tTurkish cigarettes. Of the
three occupants, two were men In the
full regalia of evening dress, the third
was a woman whose superb white
shoulders fairly glistened above the
folds of black and gold lace which out
lined them. All wore half masks of
black satin and held cigarettes between
Hps and fingers.
For a moment they scrutinized me
With Insolent coolness, the taller of the
two men taking the cigarette from be
tween his lips and emitting a delicate
wreath ,of smoke which curled and
curled Into ever widening, swaying
rings. We watched It In Hllence until It
had all disappeared, and then, coming
forward leisurely, he addressed me:
1 "You may as 'well sit down," he said.
I I deposited myself upon the nearest
chain My guide remained standing
near the door.' Madam of the White
Shoulders tossed aside her cigarette and
leaned forward In an attitude of strained
attention. The other man fumbled alm-
leasly about the mass of papers which
littered the piano. My Interlocutor had
stationed himself upon the stuffed arm
of a lounglng-clialr In front of me.
"You have the correspondence with
Jrou?" he said. .
I .answered simply "No" waiting my
cue.
"Then where Is It?" he continued.

"It was not given to me finally, "I re
plied, at rundom.
"And your instructions?"
"Merely to wait for a chance to tell
you this."
They seemed surprised, and madam
made some rapid remarks to the other
In a tongue with which I was unfamiliar.
Then, moving with a long, graceful step,
which mude no sound upon the heavy
rugs with which the floor was covered,
she came In her turn and confronted
nie.
"Why did you come armed?" she de
manded. She was standing before me, her mag
nificent figure, drawn up to its full
height, and I arose und faced her before
answering.
"I thought It only a proper precau
tion, and one which I habitually take."
"Then you should ulso take care to
be less easily disarmed," she proceeded,
with some impatience. "How long have
"If You Have imrcd to Sjcok. Yoar Own
llullct Shall Itcpoy You.
you been waiting for this opportunity
to tell us that you have to disappoint
us after all?"
1 told her ten days the length of time
I had been In the house over the way.
"From whom did you receive the sig
nal?" she demanded.
For a moment, as her eyes flashed
Into mine, something Impelled me to
throw up the game I was playing and
confess my Impostershlp, but a second
thought nerved me to go on.
"It is better," I replied, "even here,
to mention no names."
She shrugged her white shoulders
slightly. "Your caution is admirable,"
she suld. "See that you continue It.
Meanwhile will you explain yourself
more fully. The message announcing
your arrival with the letters we ex
pected you to deliver tonight, was re
ceived two weeks ago. You have
watched your chance to communicate
with us well, and with commendable
caution. Hut now that you are here
you bring us nothing. Kxplaln, if you
please."
I stammered blindly (for I could not
see which way matters were tending),
that it had, at the last moment, been
considered unsafe to send the commu
nication for which they were looking:
that certain things were discovered:
that another message must be waited
for. Madam regarded me for a mo
ment with, no attempt toward conceal
ing her suspicion, anil 1 saw her eye
flash darkly through the black mask.
1 stood narrowly watching the three
people before me, my back towards the
door and both nanas neninu me grasp
ing the blackthorn stick of which I had
kept a jealous hold. As I saw the
glances which they exchanged, my
hands Involuntarily tightened their
grasp. At the same moment a touch of
cold steel made itself felt against my
wrists and a sharp click broke the
momentary stillness of the room. I tried
to separate my hands and foifnd that
they were cuffed. 1 made no struggle,
for I knew In other cases, where I had
been the operator and another the vie
tltn. that the man who submitted quiet
ly to his fute stood the chance of best
treatment from his captors. I turned

stained hands moving back to his place
by the door, and then, without a word,
brought my eVes back to meet ma-
dame's. She let a low, deliriously rip
pling bit of laughter escape her lips.
"You take It well." she said. "Now.
Jackson, search him!" The stained
hands made a rapid exploration of my
pockets, but, thanks to the precaution
I had taken Derore stoning out, noin
ing of a nature to excite further sus
picion of my good faith was discovered.
The search, however, seemed scarcely
to satisfy their fears, for they held i
hurried and somewhat excited conver
satlon together, -.wherein the two men
seemed to hold an opinion differing
from that- of madame. She finally
turned from them and commanded the
man she had addressed as Jackson, to
release me. -
"I hav for you a further commis
sion," she began; the words falling
quickly and tersely from her lips, mak
ing the slightly foreign accent with
which she spoke charmingly perceptl
ble. VTomorrow you wUl take the
train which leaves the Grand Central
station at ten o'clock for P . In two
hours you will arrive there. You will
be met by a man to whom you will give
the usual signal. You will And him
awaiting you with a light wagon and
a pair of black horses. He will take
you to a certain house whither further
orders will Be conveyea to you wunin
that time, you are at liberty to return.
As before, be. prompt, be sure, and, as
you value your life, be silent. Do not
think that a mistake on your part will
escape detection, or that a blunder will
pass unforglven. I will return to you
your pistols. When next you art In
clined to suspect a possible danger, take
better cn re of them." '
Her voice ceased and she stood close
before t.ie. her eyes blazing Into mine.
"I have seen you somewhere some
time," she added, slowly. "You will
be true either to ourcelve or to our
enemies. For your own sake, let It be
the former!"
She took out my -nlstols from a
drawer In the table near which she was
standing, and half held t'jam towards
me, when suddenly there pealed
through the room the long, shrill quiv
ering of an electric bell. Madam drew
back a revolver In either hand. We
stood In silence, staring Into each oth
er's eyes. She raised her right hand
slowly until the weapon covered my
face. '
If you have been false." she said.
"if you have dared to speak, your own
bullet shall repay you."
I bowed a silent answer. The revol
ver followed the bending of my head,
down and up. The bell pealed again.
this time In two short, quick rings
with a distinct pause between. One
of the men let fall an oath. The other
breathed a slch of relief. Madam low
ered her weapon and turned to my late
guide.
i nfasten the door, she saw. n
Is one of us. Perhaps a messenger
from the same source, with the letters
at last. There was no one to expect,
though, but this stranger. W hut-
She changed her speech to the strange
tongue she had used previously, for the
moment speaking earnestly to her com
panions. All four stood, listening in
silence. Presently the door opened,
and Jackson with his yellow hands
pushed a slender, girl-like figure Into
the room. The small gloved hand,
which trembled slightly, went twice
across her darkly veiled face. The
signal was quickly answered, and the
four, Jackson Included, collected In a
little group about the new-coiner, leav
ing me for the moment forgotten and
apart.
Whv are you here?" one of the men
began, abruptly.
"Through no wish of my oi." the
girl replied. Madam brought one ot
mv nlstols cnrelessly Into position, and
she shrank back. Again the laughter
rippled lightly from madam's Hps.
"You are a coward still! Always a
coward, and the child of a coward!"
she said. "Now, once more, why are
you here?"
The girl made an effort to control her
self. "I have a message," she replied.
Deliver it," madam Impatiently ue-
manded. , ,
I Faw through her veil, which she
had not rnlsed. that she glanced timid
ly In my direction, before replying,
"tt Is this." she said: "You are to
trust no one who comes tonight, or
any night, as a messenger, but bring
ing no message.
1 had thought my danger over, and
here it was just begun! I saw madam
turn slowly toward- me and as slowly
take aim with my own weapon. I saw
the three men, Jackson with his yellow
hands outstretched, start towards me
with fearee oaths upon their Hps. I
heard the girl who had warned them
against me to cry out for fear of mercy,
and saw her with a frantic effort throw
herself airainst madam s white arm.
Then, as the biting snap of ths pistol
ran.? through the place. I covered the
space which lay between myself and
the door, with a violent effort
wrenched it open, and, before madam
could get a second aim or the others
Interfere, hod gained tne passage anu
a short relief.
The lamps which Jackson had left
upon the tnble were still burning, so
that I could dimly see my way. It
seemed to me, as I afterward thought
of It. that I cleared the stairs at a single
bound, nnd that my hand touched the
knob of the street door at the same mo
ment that my late companions issued
from the room above. The door re
sisted my efforts to open It, and I saw
that It had been barred and bolted.
Long before 1 could undo the fasten
ings my four assailants would have
reached me. I had sense enough to
know they would not stop at murder
were there danger of my escaping with
any part of their secret. I could do
nothing, still weak as 1 was anu un
armed, against so many. Even my
Btick had been dropped In flight. An
Instant still I wavered, and then the re
membrance of a door I had noticed at
the other end of the passage, when
Jackson's first appearance with the
lamps had made surrounding objects
visible, returned to me. Turning back,
I groped for It blindly, for they hnd ex
tinguished in their haste one of the
lights above, and the other gave but a
feeble flicker. The men were rushing
headlong dowti the stairs, and madam's
voice rang out distinctly.
'No struggle," she cried. "Let here
be no noise. Stun him and bind him.
The police will be upon us."
My fingers touched the door. It was
fastened like the other. Frantically I
threw myself against It. It yielded
slightly. 'Once more, with all the
strength that comes at the need of a
desparate man. I put my shouldre to It
The wood creaked splintered gave
wajl A breath of soft night air struck
my face. A step more, and, looking up,
I saw that the stars were shining.
