It seemed quite possible that I might slip In unobserved, and pass among them unrecognized except through accident But the risk of discovery was too great I must find some other point of entrance. The private doorway through which Wine had disappeared gave me the thought that there might also be others. I dare net follow after him, but If there was another opening to be found I was perfectly willing to explore Into Its mysteries. The search was brief, yet the very nature of the rough board wall made concealment Behind the dangling coats Impossible. I uncovered what I sought, and not a moment too soon.

Tlie fellow gave me little opportunity to either act, or think. A mutch flared, and was held aloft to a gas Jet which Instantly broke Into a dull flume, sufficient to render visible the full extent of the small room In which we st ' kkI. In gome' way I was aware of Imre walls, of a small table opposite with some writing materials on It, and a short bench covered by a blanket. I suppose I saw these things, yet all that I seemed to perceive was the man fronting me, who stared In my face, a quizzical mnlle ca his lips, as tliojgh still half uncertain of the reality of my presence. lie was tall, a trifle angular, but exceedingly with closely trimmed Iron-grabeard and peculiar eyes deeply set In a rather chalky face. He broke tlie silence, evidently Inclined to look upon this meeting as a Joke. Dout recognize me, I reckon? Well, that aint to be wondered at, for likely enough you never saw me before.
