TO MAKE IT EASIER OVER THERE.

TO MAKE IT EASIER OVER THERE.
While Norris made his way TO the
porter's room, Mr.. Everleigh and Amos
Bergman secured tho services Of two police
officers, and the two parties met in the
hallway moment after the shock Of the
explosion had Jared the massive walls Of
the building. A few words sufIlccd to
mako the facts Of the case known to oil.
"Got the keys' That's bad. Wen havo

officers. 1.-TWO Of you watch the windows

Mr.. Everleigh put his hand in his pocket
"By good luck lngot returned mo

have no difficulty in entering by this side

toned watcher there, which isn't likely"
The gas was burning ut full head inside,
80 sure were the marauders In tho effi-
cheney Of the heavy shutters and the solid
bolts and bars they had drawn between
themselves and tho outside world. There
were but two, standing in breathless
pause, as the revorberating echoes Of tho
explosion died away; then one Of them
moved forward to continue tho work.
"Scems like ! heard something, Tom,"
muttered tho other. "That blowout made
more noise than we counted ON. I'm afeard
Of this Job. wish VIC hadn't gone into It,"
"Get out Of 1t, then, II you'ro aboard OF

Both men faced about, hraced either to
fight or to fly. In q twinkling the light was
out, there was rush, and Norris found
himself grappled with in the darkness,
tossed and shaken with strength greater
than his own, though not sufficient to quito

here I had heard the two talking when
they supposed me unconscious knew that
Lyman Childer had come into money and
bought an interest in tho firm, but there
was something wrong. He was too thick
with 1ngot, and he had never told you Of
the restitution I tried TO make. had one
old friend to whom went for holp, and he
gave me the means TO walt and watch here.
MY suspicious strengthened when found
how Childer remained night after night In
the bank. There was chink in ono Of the
shutters, where, by using o glass, could
sec the light burning until nearly morning."
Mechanically, he put his hand in his pocket
and drew out the night-glass he had used.
Mr.. Everleigh took II, as II determined to
test tho truth Of his words, walking to the
window, while Edison turned down the gas

II was not hard TO slipin unpcrcoived near
closing time that day"
Hc was interrupted by quick exclama-
ton from Mr.. Everlegh.
"Norris, your eyes aro younger than
mine. Tell mo II am wrong in believing l

Norris put the glass to his eyes. A
slender thread Of light penetrated ono Of tho
darkencd windows opposite, 80 small that
with tho naked eye IL would not have been
discerncd.
"Lyman is not there now; there Is no ono
who has tho right. Como, wo must see
what II means"
They went out in body, and after hasty
consultation, Norris made his way to the
back Of tho bank-building, and up inter-
minable flights to the little room under the
roof where tho janitor slept. There was no
answer to his knock, but the key was In the
door, and he entered to find Bijah In most
pitiable plight. Tied hand and foot, gagged
and helpless, the porter sat, his rugged
countenancc undergoing swift transition
from gloom TO delight as he recognized his
visitor.
Relieved Of the gag, he told what had hap
pcned, briefly, while Norris severed the
cords which bound him-how he had been
surprised and overpowcred by two ruffians
who had helped themselves to his keys and
loft him unable to givo the slightest alarm.
