I found that I had Rained tho yard,
or small court, which properly bcloiiK-1
to ever New York house. Knrloseil
h It was on three sides with Its IiIkIi,
miiuotii iallni?s, and on the fourth by
the lions- from which I had but Just
escaped. It seemed at first Rliince as
Neat a Imp as a mun could well wish
himself out of. 1 slopped for a moment
to listen lor any sign from my pursuers,
but till lay still and dark behind me.
They would, I thought, scarcely ven
ture from a house which was sup
posed to be utioccuoled. Into a place
where so many windows iiuld look
flown lf!in them. 1 remembered that
the hoiise stood not many numbers
from the street corner, and that the
avenue tinon that side had no btlild
Inys to face It. The row of yards-'
lay Inclosed only by their white pul
Iiiks. Any escape, therefore, meant no
morn, after all, than the xrnlinK of some
I en or a dozen of -these fencings, and
my assailants naturally would con
sider that I could easily accomplish
this, not knowing how strength was
ulready wasted. 1 crouched, mean
while, to rest In the deen shadow cast
1- the house, beiiiR- invisible from any
of the windows, unless a light were
held. This I knew they woulu not dare
Jo do any inorx than they would engage
In a struggle to bring me forcibly burn,
since by o doing they must inevitably
uttract notice to themselves.
I do not know how Ions I lay crouch
ing there. The summer air that night
had an evil chill In it w hich crept grad
ually Into my bones. A kind of apathy
came over me which made mo oblivious
to the surrounding strangeness. Kor
the moment the twinkling lights in the
houses atxiiit, the soft sounds of chil
dren' voice utiil the chattering
tongues of the servants, borne above
the dull roar or the streets, nad little
meaning- for me. The danger 1 hud
passed through was forgotten: to tne
danger 1 was still In 1 was oblivious.
was awakened to It by the sound of
n window being slowly and carefully
raised somewhere above my head.
Uhlftlngr slightly my position, so that I
could look up and still remain unseen,
1 saw-Jackson peering cautiously down
Into (he shndow. He drew In his head,
and again looked out. apparently but
half satisfied with the poor opportunity
his position afforded him. Some one
Inside whispered an Inaudible direction
to him, and the window was lowered.
No doubt he wns preparing to come
down. 1 Rot to my feet, therefore, and
felt my way along the wall until my
hand came In contnet with the paling.
It was covered In the corner nearest
the avenue with a straggling, but long
limbed creeper of some sort, which
clung partly to the brick wall of the
house Itself and partly to the wood. It
was but n poor support, but by grasp
ing with my hands the top of it. I was
about to let myself down into the next
yard, when a sound of voices whisper
ing together somewhere near, arrested
my attention. A little above me was
the last of the row of three windows
In the second story of the House with
r.roen Blinds. Hy getting my feet upon
the-top of the fence and standing up
right. I could see that the glass was
lowered slightly from the top. The
blinds Inside were closed, go that the
room beyond was invisible. I had not
a moment to decide upon which course
1 should pursue, for below me I heard
Jackson coming nlong the passage to
make his exploration of the yard.
Again clinging lightly to the vine, I
stretched out my foot until It touched
the stone coping of the window. A
light push of the other against the pnl
Ing. a little more dependence upon the
creeping idant, which happily had fast
ened .itself strongly against the wall,
and I was standing upright In the shal
low recess or the window. As Jackson
came out of the shadow In which I
had ju3t been lying, 1 could see him
plainly. ' He was followed by the taller
of the other two men, and they made
the round of the yard together, coming
even to stand close under my feet nnd
looking up at the vine. Satisfied, ap
parently, that I had made my escape
nt this point, they then returned to the
liousv.-
I heard thorn set up the broken door
against Its hinges and goJack along
the passage. The drawing-room In
which I hnd so lately been evidently
connected with the room from which
my window opened, for by putting my
ear close to the aperture I heard the
two men enter and announce the surety
of my escape. -They went on then to
.talk rapidly In the language they had
ised together, madam's voice ever ris
ing distinctly and calmly above the ex
cited tones of the men. Finally, how
'ever, she aeemed to take things into her
:'own hands. for her voice alone became
audible, the sentences dropping crisp
ly from her lips as when she had given
me her commands. All iiint I could
gather of their conversation, however,
(were the words "Tuxedo," followed by
the name of the man who keeps a great

establishment there. Then, after a few
more apparently decisive directions, i.ie
party seemed preparing to separate. I
could hear nothing more of the girl
who tittu saved my life. Her voice had
not joined in the colloquy, and 1 de
cided that she hail not been present
while It was in progress, and that prob
ably she hud left the house as (Uieuy as
she had come. There seemed nothing
farther to be gained by remaining in
my present position, I let myself back,
therefore, to my former place upon the
top of the paling and roni there la
boriously made my way, with what aid
I could find, front one yard to another
until once more I found myself upon
the street. Weary as I was, I could not
yet allow myself the luxury of rest. As
1 walked rapidly along toward the goal
to which I was bound 1 forced niyseit
to think rapidly over my adventure und
some circumstances with which it was
connected. The chief of them was my
familiarity- with madam's wonderful
voice. A peculiarity in the human
voice was something I had trained my
self never to forget. I hud no dUltculty
In recallliiK the time anil place In which
a voice singularly like hers, but pro
ceeding apparently from a very dif
ferent source, hud llrst attracted my
uttentlon.
Some IS months before I had been In
Kiigland. where I had been so fortunate
us to gain the friendship ami. esteem of
a man whose pleusure It was, with the
genius which had been given him and
the great skill which he had acquired,
to unravel the mysteries and to discov
er the duimers which too often sur
round our fellow men and women. At
the time of my visit he had been en
gaged in unearthing an atrocious plot
which had threatened the existing gov
ernment. The scheme hud developed
ulmost to the point of the perpetration
of a great crime, when my friend's fore
sight succeeded in capturing and
bringing to the bar of justice the ring
leaders themselves. With the usuul
caution and eonservntlveness of the
Kngllsh nation, the whole u flair had
been handled with extreme secrecy and
fear of public knowledge. Helng kept
almost entirely out of the newspapers,
few people knew anything of it and the
details of the case went little further
time the court. Through tho interest
of my friend, by whose sagacity the
plot had lieen discovered. 1 was priv
ilege!, to wllncsa the trial, fine of the
prisoners hnd strangely Interested me.
He was singularly prepossessing In ap
pearance; a curling mass of dark hair,
worn rather long: eyes that burned like
veritable fire; the contour of his face
lengthened by the addition of a well
groomed beard, cut closely In the
French fashion; his hands and feet
small and finely cared for; his figure
slender. In fact the very opposite In
personality and trnditlon to the usttnl
ly accepted anarchistic Idea. Yet de
votion to the cause ho had adopted
seemed the very breath he drew. His
voice, high In quality of tone for a man
ns was hers low for a woman, was. as
T recalled It, very strangely similar to
that in which niadame of the White
Shoulders hnd but lately nddressed me.
1 distinctly remembered the particu
lars of tbe trial and Its strange out
come. The boy ho seemed scarcely
more had been convicted and sen
tenced to life Imprisonment nt hard
labor, with other members of the gang.
They were taken at once to Ports
mouth. 1'pon the third morning after
their Incarceration, his cell, together
with those fit one or two of the others,
was found empty. The bars had been
neither filed nor broken, but simply un
locked. Suspicion attached Itself to
one of the jeilers. who. In turn, was ar
rested, tried for conniving at the es
cape of the several prisoner, found
guilty upon strong clrcumstantlnl evi
dence, (although stoutly protesting his
Innocence), and condemned to a long
term or imprisonment. The only trace
MsriiIscJ. ,
of the convicts which could he found
was the several suits of prison stripes
which they had exchanged in a small
clothier's shop In Portsmouth (luring
the night for more modish costumes.
There was but one link connecting
tills affair with the one in which I was
now implicated a human voice; but
yet, to me, from the study I had given
the subject, it was a slight connec
tion. I had seen enough to know that
a plot of some grave import was hatch
ing In the House with Green Hlinds,
and that my own appearance upon and
disappearance from the scene w'ould
by no means retard matters. What
ever the nature of It might be (and I
had my own opinion as to this) I had
seen and heard enough to know that
they could .scarcely draw back now.
There was no time to lose, therefore.
My goal was the shop of a man well
known to our profession a customer
nnd secret dealer In professional dis
guises. In half an hour I issued from
it as well set up a clersryman as one
could wish to see. , My next move was
to trace the girl who had spoiled
madam's aim, and In doing so had un
doubtedly saved my -life. I had no
ticed,, as she stood under the brilliant
glare of light in the drawing-room of
the House with Green Hlinds, that her
hat and veil and grown were covered
with shining particles of black dust
a kind which collects rarely but dur
ing n railway journey. She had en
tered the room hurried and breathless,
as though she had been walking rap
Idly. Had she come In from any sta
tion other than the Grand Central,
which was but a few blocks away, It
seemed to me, from her evident de
sire for haste, that she would scarcely
have taken time for walking. I pos
sessed myself, working upon these sup
positions, of a time-table, and found
that an accommodation train which
had P (whither madam had com
manded me to go the next day) for one
of Its stations, had arrived but a few
minutes before the time of the gtri 8
appearance at the House with Green
minds. No other for tne same sta
tion was scheduled to depart within six
hours. It was now nearly 12 o'clock.
and there remained but one thing to do
before allowing myself a few hours of
much-needed rest. This was to have
an Interview with my chief nnd explain
to him the details of an affair which
It had grown out of my power to con
trol unaided. 1 found him Just leaving
his elub. and explained the thing to
him carefully, together with my own
plans and ideas. He was kind enough
to commend them and to allow me to
go on as I had Intended, leaving prac
tically the entire management In my
hands, but giving me the benefit of his
advice and placing whatever assist
ance I desired nt my disposal. I sent
Kay. of the department, therefore, to
gether with another young fellow from
our own olflce, to my rooms to watch
whatever might go on In the opioslte
house and to dog anyone who might
Issue from It. though the latter seemed
to me a needless precaution. .
ISefore 6 o'clock, having in the mean
time been refreshed by a few hours'
sleep at the Hotel H . I was strolling.
without apparently other aim than that
of waiting for my train, up and down
through the waiting-room of the Grand
Central station. It was not long be
fore my expectation was fulfilled. The
girl entered the waiting-room and went
immediately to the ticket otlice, where
she purchased n ticket to I' . What
set me back, however, was the appear
ance of the person who followed close
behind her. 1 could not have sworn to
his Identity, but the resemblance was
a marked one. The hair, escaping
from under his soft hat in wavy rich
ness: the well-groomed appearance;
the small hands and feet, were all In
I Saw That His Heard Wns I also.
evidence. The chief difference lay In
the fact that now his beard was worn
rather long and of a jet black color,
when; as the man whom I hnd seen
tried nnd convicted of a grave charge
in her majesty's criminal court some
is months before, had worn a light
brown imperial. This, of course, was
a matter easily changed by one who
wished to disguise himself, and after
1 had caught a glimpse of his eyes, as
they flashed for an Instant brilliantly
Into mine, the resemblance, even the
very identity of the man with the one I
had seen, was borne more forcefully
upon me. And yet, I had seen those
eyes, or others like them, more lately.
Through the holes of the satin mask
they (or was It but a resemblance?)
had questioned me not yet 12 hours be
fore, and the same strange attraction
In them held me now as then.
He did not seem to be In company
with the girl for whom I had waited
(for she took no notice of him at all,
and, nfter buying her ticket, stood
quietly waiting for the gate to open),
but. ns well as I could make out, was
there ns a spy upon her movements and
on the lookout for some one else. He
had stationed himself near her in a po
sition where everyone who went
through the gate must pass under the
searching of his eye. I had noticed,
however, that he had purchased no
ticket, and I perceived that my only
chunce of an interview with the girl
would be in following her on hoard the
.train. Had he been sent by the people
from the House with Green Hlinds to
see, without her knowledge, that no
one approached her and that she was
safely out of town without n chance
of betraying them (for that they mis
trusted her had been evident enough)?
He would scarcely allow n person
against whom he had the slightest sus
picion to follow her through the gate.
I had a knowledge of his being ac
quainted with my own appearance, and
yet, even while he might not have been
present the night before nt our inter
view, there had been plenty of time
for any member of the organization to
become familiar with my face while
they were watching me in my rooms
and before the signal had been given
to me by Jackson. My only hope, there
fore, was that my disguise would pass
muster. As it happened, chance fa
vored me in more ways than one. As I
was following the other passengers
through the door which led to the train
I passed very close to the man ns he
stood carelessly watching. The woman
in front of me nn old woman, laden
with a huge and heavy basket drop
ped a small pocketbook. He stooped
and picked it up. returning it to her
courteously, nnd In so doing I saw that
his heard was false. The next moment
I was through the gate unchallenged
and had assured mvself that he re
mained behind.
(To he continued.)
DEEPLY (jRIEVED.
But a Sudden ( hnnqc Cams Over llcr
Spirits,
Mrs. Swayback sighed when her
daughter had told her that Mr. Trlvvet
had nsked her to be his wife, and that
she had become engaged, says Judge.
"I suppose I ought not to feel badly
about It," Mrs. Swayback added, wiping
away a tear with the corner of her
apron. "It is woman's destiny to be
married. 1 left the home of my happy
girlhood to become Mrs. Swayback and
now you must leave to become Mrs.
Trlvvet. Still. I cannot help feeling my
loss deeply. A mother can never lose
her daughter with Indifference; she
can never give her up not even to the
best man in the world without deep
reluctance."
Hy this time Mrs. Swayback was
sobbing violently nnd her daughter was
trying to comfort her.
"F shall come to see you often moth
er darling." she said.
"Of course you will, but It Is a great
trial to part with you, my child. You
must not mind your fond mother's cry
ing a bit over It."
"Dry your eyes, mother. I'm sure
you couldn't get a liner young man
than Mr. Trlvvet for a son-in-law and
of course you expected me to get mar
ried some time."
Mrs. Swayback 's sobs broke out
afresh and for some time Bhe refused to
be comforted. Then she applied a
handkerchief vigorously to her eyes and
asked:
"When Is the wedding to be?"
"In nbout six months, mamma dear."
"Six months!" exclaimed Mrs. Sway
back, "What on earth does the procras
tinator mean by putting It off that
long?" Mary Ann, I don't believe he
Intends to marry you at all, so I don't!
If he did he'd Insist on having the wed
ding come off inside six weeks at the
farthest. -
