At Albany wa had luncheon In one of tho ,larga hotala to tho accompaniment of an trchoatra booming tha popular matte ef the Dement De-ment Bartley waa ao thoroughly aa comfortable that ha refused to apeak. It waa not until we were waiting for tho waiter to return with our ebaaga and he had lighted a cigar that ha became mora amiable. - He bowed to aome people ht know, thoa leaned toward ma aad apoka aoftly ao that those at tha next table would not hoar. "Pelt, wt cannot aay Juat wha. wa win find up at tha lake. I hart thought tha affair orer carefully, and tha mora I think of It tha moropoaatod I am.

Tho drat la' that those two men are innocent Tha second la that Sljrke knew who U waa that broke into hie bouse, hot had strong reasons for claiming he toald not recognise them. If his daughter could swear to the Identity of tha men that , wer: arrested, he should also hate been able to recognise theaa. Bat ho aaya ha did not, and, wa are told, ha wanted tho case dropped.' ; . He paused as the -waiter appeared with our change,' and we went back to oar cur. . ' Saratoga was only a forty-fire rnde drive from Albany.- Circle Lake waa ooreral miles nearer, u -f :4.!r.v ' I know Tery little aboot tho place except that it was a small lake out-aide out-aide of Saratoga where there were a number of large summei estates. Bob Currle, who had roomed with Bartley at Harvard, had a place there where he passed ' tho greater part of tha year..; --v-v-:-. . .' About an hour and a half, out of Albany, Bartley said suddenly, pointing point-ing to a email sheet of water In the dlstanea, That'a Circle laka" ; Wa were on tha top of a largo bin at tho moment, and, though tha lake waa sereral miles away,' it looked even smaller than I had expected. ' It waa not mora than a mile across, and i a : complete- drclo - except where a small bay broke Its' circumference. At the foot of tha hill, tho road ran beside tha lake for a little way, then ascended' another bill. Juat befort thla ascent began, Bartley left tha main road and followed one that ran for nearly a mile between leafy trees. At, length he turned his car down a long driveway that wound tta crooked way "In and out through a grove of great trees." When I bad began to wonder If wo should over escape from them, wo came out upon a green lawa that stretched for several acres, hav Ing in tta midst a large : rambling house, painted the whitest white I have ever seen. It was a cheery-looking house, one made to-live In, with a great plana stretching across tha front and gay-covered- chairs that gave to it a tropical atmosphere. Even as I waa thinking bow much I Uked It, a man came running down tha steps, three at a time. Whooping like a wild Indian and waving his arms at a.-: .; v -' Truth compels me to aay that Currle was, to pot It mildly, stout nor could anyone call him good looking. His big red' face, now almost purple from exercise, waa a kindly, tolerant one, filled with humor; his blue oyea warm with kindness. Down tha steps ha came and across tho lawa, yelling all tho time: ' , . "John Bartley. you old sleuth, dont yoa dare drive on my bow lawa!" With a laugh, Bartley made a wide circle .across tht grass before he stopped, Currle waa beside us and on tho step of tho car la a second, one arm thrown around Hartley's shoulder and his red face beaming; but all he aald was, "Well, well John!" Hartleys answer waa Just as short and had tho aamt deep friendliness. Then Currle jarned and greeted ma A second later, a servant came to takf charge of our things, and wo followed fol-lowed Currle to the' house. Wa entered by one of tho largest Ivlng rooms that I have ever seen. It stretched almost the entire length of the building and bad two fireplaces, both of which were lirrgi enough for a man to stand upright ta.

After a ten minutes walk wo came suddenly upon a house, a massive atone building, half covered with Ivy.

After greeting Currla, ha vu Introduced to as. : While Currle was talking with him about tht ttrip of land that ha had bought, I examined him closely. .

Ton could see, ta fact, .that be was wondering why Bartley had come, and wlahlng him a thousand miles away. ., Bartley himself, seeing how Slyka felt, said -with a friendly faugh, "It's bsrdly right to run In on yoa this way, Mr, Slyke. I was coming over to see you formitjly in the morning; but at Mr. Currle snkl lie hud some business with you this ufti-rnoon, I decided to puiio tv'th him" Sut Yov Wore Never Sure Thai They . - Wert Oullty.

Tho man made ao response to this, nor did he say anything when Bartley told him ef tht governor's Interest In tha two men bow la prison for tho burglary. When Bartley had finished, ho act ually snarled, "I am sick of tht wholt thing. Those mea had a fair trial and wort found guilty.

' , : "But , you yourself " said " that roa could not Identify them." - - "That may be so, bat there were others that did recognise them, oven though I could not," Slyke answered. , Bartley changed his tactics. When ho seta oat to win a person, there are row that can resist him; and la a moment mo-ment or two even Slyke thawed under bia emtio. , ' .. v , "I - can understand Bartley remarked, re-marked, "bow bored yoa most bt with tht wholt affair, but, as yoa probably know, Mr. Slyke, there Is a growing feeling that thoee men In prlsori are Innocent What I am to do Is to find out whether there la any ground for such a feeling. I know that yoa wQ bf the very first person to wish them pardoned if they are Innocent Can I come over', tomorrow morning and have' a talk with you about the burg-laryt burg-laryt My wide experience may help mo to see things that tha othera have overlooked. The governor asked mt to look Into the matter, yoa know." . : Btyko did not seem over-pleased at this suggestion, and muttered that ho waa going fishing la tho morning. Ho Anally agreed that his step-daughter Ruth could give Bartley whatever la-formation la-formation he wanted. Seeing that ao far at be. waa concerned, tho conversation conversa-tion waa over wo took our leave. . As we re-entered tho woods, Bartley Bart-ley remarked with a laugh. "He waa not what yon might .can keea to see us. That burglary for soma reason teems to bo a sort subject with him." When wo arrived at tha house.
