seated themselves cOntentedly by theiyaca-
ted table. Now to avoid obscurity which
we must confess we do detest, it will be well
enough to mention here that the former OF
ii ese two is Dick Morrow, an individual
not enyiable by repute, nor known outside
of his door-whom Leroy and Strawson
always engaged to help them through with
the schemes Of their employer.

FIFTY apiece for thus night, and five a.

soliloquized Leroy Immediately after Nor
row had closed the door.
In a few minutes the host returned ac.
by Strawson, who in the mean
time had arrived. Quatling another draught
Of the lEebriatng fire, and providing them
selves with a willow flash Of the same, the
trio issued from the doggary.
The night was clear and still. Luna was
high up in the heavens, swaying
with that calm, unrufiled influence, that
casts such sensation Of laugushment upon
the beholder, and adds such Il serene beau
ty to every object Of earth. Following the
several streets and alleys that lay between
them and their destination they stopped be-
fore large house, standing back from the
pavement and surrounded by green yard
in Which several GoHated trees stood, whose
darkling shadows cast a sombre silence over
and about the edihce. This was corner
Judson's residence. After, silently recon
ncitering the premises, they concluded to
enter by a back window, that looked out
from the second floor. Having gained an
ascent to the roof of back porch, the win
dow was quietly hosted and each stealthily
clambered in. Here they found themselves
in a large hall.
"This is the identical hall he mention
ed" whispered Strawson walking noislessly
towards a flight of steps.
"Who mentioned?" inquired Dick.
"Mor.on."

ed Leroy, "turn up these stairs bows" -
Having ascended the steps he said .
"Now we are out of hearing, oil Nor
ton says they all sleep down on the floor"
(Which way now?" inquired Dick as they
stopped in another hall Immediately above
the first one they entered.
"l4et me see------yes here's the door
he mentioned to the right, that opens into
u narrow passage
Ozark as h--ll by jove!" calculated Le-
roy rs they opened the door
"lIe said this door would be locked"
observed Strawson as he passed through.
"The more's unlocked the better, ,''re-

"IIore: we turn through this door'''
