Continued CHAPTER XIII 22 I know James, too 'Slim Jim ; and 'Codfish Ilart and Sleepy Annie.' A alee bunch you arel I looked yon all up the day I was In New York, but I couldnt be sure till I got the linger prints yesterday. I recognized your friend Rlckett at the first glance, by the way, he Interpolated. The district attorney of New York used to be a pal of mine, and I saw him send nickctt up the river five years ago. Thats why I got rid of hliu so promptly. I know about your operations In London bouses, too. But, though you're so good on the servant end, youre not half so clever a gang of crooks as youre reported to be. By the way, how about the cook and Violet? "Theyre dead ones. They dont know anything about us. I thought so. Now why didnt yon get off with the stuff before I came and while you had a chance? You had been here almost a month. "We were waiting for the foreign dame's stuff. We thought that leather bag was the ace, and at first we couldnt get bold of It Jenks answered He doggedly. seemed stunned by the turn of events. 'Are you a bull? he asked suddenly. No. Just a plain citizen; but a fairly Intelligent one, Jenks, and your goings on here attracted my attention. That reminds me, be asked suddenly. How about the leather case? You finally had a duplicate made. Dow did you arrange that? Annie got her lamps on It one day, and told me how It looked. So yen duplicated It and made the exchange, thinking you were going to get tiaras and such? And when yon found that the case held only manuscripts and papers you threw It back Into the lady's room? Twasnt no good .to us. . Tor the first time, the man on the floor grimaced. We gave you a good Jolt with It, to help things along, he mentioned with satisfaction. "I thought mebbe youd be sent away on the strength of that "So you did. And you threw In the locked door for good measure. But then, you saw that the lady got back the case without undue delay and nervous strain, which was very decent of you. As If moved by this tribute, the captive reverted suddenly to the personality of Jenks, the perfect butler. We never waste energy doing unnecessary things, sir, he said primly. And we never Injure anybody physically. That Isn't our method. That's why we wanted to get rid of you quiet like, with no harm done. And now, sir. since youve got the whole story, end since you got nothing on us but a little jqkc, sir. Im sure you'll have no objection to being a sport yourself and letting us make a nice, quiet It wont do you any good to put us In Sing Sing, sir. Terhaps not; but It would benefit the community Immensely, Renshaw pointed out. "However, thnts a mere detail at present. Let us contluue our conversation. When were you planwith the ning to make your money and Jewels? The night you came d n you, said Jenks, with sudden bitterness and forgetfulness of his role. Ill pass over your profanity this time. I can see how my Inopportune arrival must have annoyed you. So you postponed the coup till you could get rid of me; and then Campbell was taken sick, and with doctors coining and going, and Morris here at night, you decided to wait a few days -- - get-awa- get-awa- y floor where It had fallen during the fight, and went swiftly down stairs to the study. Hs had taken the precaution to doctor the tint pistol before he left It under hls pillow. It would be a disappointing weapon to the person who took it As he noiselessly hurrttd along the dark lower hall he heard a faint sound In the study. Hls grip tightened on the revolver In the pocket of hls He took out the smoking Jacket weapon as he nolselesly opened the study door. James and nart were In the room, In which one electric light burned dimly under a shade. They were kneeling, bent over aomethlng on the floor, and the backs of both men were toward him. He brought them upright with a word, their hands above their heads, their eyes rolling In terrified Incredulity. He moved slowly toward them, keeping them covered, bla eyes taking In the objects that lay at the mens feet. Several bags were filled with plunder, and scattered about the floor were bulky articles of silver brought from the dining room and apparently rejected at the last moment. Hls Interruption had been opportune. They were almost ready to recall Jenks from hls guard duty upstairs and depart Turn your faces to the wall. he ordered. You, James, move six paces to the right Ilart, Ill trouble you to take eight steps to the left Hurry up. That's right" He relieved them of the revolvers each carried, and also took an unpleasant-lookinknife from Hart. Greedy, Ji rebuklngly observed. "Where's all the Jewelry?" In the leather bag. It was Ilart who spoke, apparently realizing that the game was up. I'll have to Inconvenience you. Step Into that corner closet, Hart Be quick Hart obeyed without another word. Keeping hls eyes on James, Renshaw locked the closet door, and put tho key with the bathroom key In bis g 1 pocket Now, 'Slim Jim,'" he commanded briskly, face about and march into the hall. Really, this Is almost too easy. I wasn't sure I could pull it off alone, but I wanted to try." Slim Jim" obeyed hls orders With Hls nerve, of surprising alacrity. which he had little at the best was gone. Renshaw locked James Into the hall closet among the hats and overcoats, first carefully removing from bis pockets anything that might assist In forcing the bolt. He then shut and locked the study door. Keeping a steadfast eye on the study and hall closet doors, he took up the extension telephone from the hall table and, getting a connection with Walnley after some delay, summoned the law to hls aid. "I haven't yet called on the two men In the grounds, he explained to the chief. "Havent had time. But HI get them In now. Bring another man with you." He added a spontaneous tribute to the sex. "Weve got a woman to deal with, you know, and shes still at large. Ilow soon do you think you can get here? Fifteen minutes? Fine. I've had nothing but luck so far." Even as he spoke, something crashed down upon hls head from the staircase above him. The force of the blow would have floored him If It had fallen straight As It was, he staggered under a slanting stroke that almost broke his right shoulder. In the next moment he swung up over the stair-raiand, catching the wrists of the furious woman on the stairs, held her firmly. he said. Stupid of you, Annie, "Whats the good of trying, to brain me with a kitchen stool? You'd have landed In the electric chair for It. As It is, you'll have to languish In a prison cell for heaven only knows how long. Meantime, don't hiss at me like that. It doesn't look pretty, and It doesn't do me. a bit of harm. I'm feeling too fit in fact, I dont know when Ive felt so well or so chatty," he added peacefully. Oh, no, no; keep quiet. Of course J can't let go of your hands.

Doctor Morris, responding at once to the hurry call sent him, had successfully treated Verity and Maof dame Ilvoeslef for the after-effect- s chloroform.

Now, In Campbells big chair before the rebuilt fire In the living-roohe listened to Morris admiring tributes, and thought of the way Ver. ity had looked when be left her. off, a was "It great stunt you pulled old man." . Renshaw laughed. It was rather Interesting," he admitted. Morris hesitated. I wonder If I dure to tell you that I know who you are?" he murmured. The other nodded. Of course you may. Every cne will know In a few days." Then" Morris dared tho question you feel that you are all right your own man again? , I know I aiu I The words were spoken quietly, but with entire conviction. Morris nodded. I know It, too," he conceded. "And Stanley knew it before either of us. He knew you were well when he sent you here.

You're going to look In on Miss Campbell again before you turn In, arent you? Yes." Ill go up with you and hear yonr final report. He wulted at the half-opedoor of Veritys room, hls heart pounding fiercely. He heard the doctors voice, that of the nurse, and then the most wonderful voice In the world:. Is Mr. Renshaw there? I want to see him for a moment." He went In and bent above her, the doctor and nurse moving away to make room for him at the bet's! de. All right now? he asked gently. Yes, I I think so. But would It be too much If I asked you someHer voice was almost Inthing? audible. Nothing lu the world you could ask me would be too much." "Then then, will you. If youre not too tired stay somewhere near?" Her voice broke. "I'm afraid when you're not near, she admitted, with a childish gulp. He pressed the hand that lay on the coverlet. It clung to hls as It had clung In the black hole of the closet. They're all out of the house and on their way to Jail. Of course you know that. But I am going to sit just outside your door the rest of the night," he added gently. Oh!" Her face grew luminous, then clouded. Its horribly selfish of me to let you. Its abomlnnble, really when youre so tired. But when you are not near I feel as If her ilps as if I were In a nighttrembled mare." You have passed . "You were. through several nightmares this week.

Of course I will sleep If I know Her deyou are' taking care of me. as was on him outspoken pendence and as unselfconsclous as V would have been. Thats agreed." He kissed the little hand and released It Then, observing that the. doctor had left the room nnd that the nurse was tactfully occupying herself beyond hearing distance. he softly added : Im going to lie near you all my life, my darling, If only' you will let me." For an Instant more he looked down on her, watching the slow color Under hls flood her beautiful fuce. look her eyes closed, then reopened, nnd at last returned hls gaze.

' What he had always desired but had hardly dared to hope for,, what his mother and sister In their final moments of life hnd prnyed that he come might have to comfort him, had at lnt. But he hnd not "fallen In love." He seemed to feel the unfurling of mighty wings and he rose to love as a lark mounts to the open sky. Hls years of Illness, of loneliness, of darkness, were far behind 1dm, far below him. He could forget them now. Ahead of him once more lay life and work, as well as the rapture of the promise he had read In the eyes of the girl he loved. n THE END The Questioner much shall learn much, and content much; but especially If he apply hls questionsask-et-to the skill of the persons whom he for he sliull give them occasion to please themselves In speaking, and himself shall continually gather knowledge; but let Ms questions not be troublesome, for that is fit for a poser: other men and let him be sure to their turn to speaks Lord Bacon. ne that questloneth e 7?T Wlt?i N.w.pup.r Union.)

In going over the closets and drawers this spring, give sway to some one who can enjoy them the things that are too good to throw away or sell to the ragman. The bits of lace and ribbon, the flowers, and hat trimmings, old dishes, vases, In fact any thing that has passed its usefulness In your home pass on for some child or adult to- - enjoy and use. It takes will power to give up old heirlooms, but If they are to be kept In the attic, why not give them away and delight the heart of some one. When the final summons comes, us It will for all of us, do not leave the house full of things that might linve brought Joy to others, but give them where they will be appreciated, now. Ecn In homes that are very simple ns to furnishing nnd equipment It Is most useful to have an Inventory of Its contents, In case of fire. A list of linens, bedding, silver, china, books, etc., Is not difficult to prepare, and It Is a great convenience from year to yenr, Ilece bags with a list of the Important contents will save rummaging through other things to find that wanted. Tin the list on the bag. Label all boxen before placing them on the closet shelves. Even the most active memory will not always be able to in a hurry the article wanted. Another household convenience Is a card Index. This may be uaed for the Inventory as well as for recipes of various kinds. Have a set for leftover. For example, under tomato, give a few recipes In which varying quantities of tomato muy be used. Every little while you will find a new one to add to the list. Keep a list of foods that go well tomeal; when comgether, a hurry-u- p pany comes you fall to think of many things you might have served. If you had a list to consult. Faded hangings of silk or other materials which have become too faded to use may be dyed. Use s color which blends with the coloring of the room ; often nfter dyeing goods that has some design which still shows, the hangings will be prettier than ever. , If troubled with ants sprinkle s little tartar emetic around the places they come In; It will quickly drive them away. Keep the powder away from food or pets, as It is a poison. Delicate lace curtains that are very frail If washed one at a time and wrung through the wringer, even after the light starching, then pinned down to a rug or carpet will look like new. Spread a 6heet, marking the width nnd length and pin to those lines. The Ideal washcloth for the bnby Is a piece of gauze folded Into four thlcknesss and bound around with a soft finished crocheted edge. Mors Summer Dishes. Gelatin dishes are easy to prepare, are digestible and especbilly good for warm weather desserts. Tomato Juice, water, seasonings and gelatin make good Jelly In which to mold fish. Lemon Jello to which Is added any fresh fruit at hand, molded, and served with cream, makes a very dainty anc refreshing dessert for a warm dny.
