CHAPTER XIV.

The plotters feared the consequences
Of the discovery made by the spy who
had escaped them.
4 wonder how much of our conversa-
ton the fellow heard, said Weeks pres
emily.
Enough to condemn us, no doubt, if
he could prove what he heard. FOrtu-
nately for US, he did not secure the
money, which was undoubtedly his pur-
pose. Now we will conceal it and defy
him If he seeks to expose US. Our Oaths
would go as far as his in a court of law,
if il should come to that, replied Pratt
He was the leading spirit of the firm.
That Internal money has done US no
good yet, but on the other hand it has
brought US trouble, said Weeks queru-
lousy.
Thus they continued to converse until
Levi Kredge left them.
When he had gone they secreted the
marked money and then took their de-
parture from the office for the night.
The following day Paxton's agent,
who had resumed his task of shadOwing
Levi Kredge, reported to his principal
that the janitor had obtained leave for a
Gays absence and that he had purchased

He will leave by the first train in the
morning." said the detective agent.

journey may have no meaning for US, and
vet it may, on the other hand, be of
great Importance.
In accordance with his determination,
Paxton, well disguised as a fOppish
young man, and carrying a small travel
ing bag containing the material for an
other disguise, left the city on the same
train with Lew Kredge-
Whan thar deaffn affou was raachad
Levi Kredge proceeded directly 10 the
Office OF the real estate agent.
Paxton entered the same Office a mo-
ment after Kredge.
While a clerk gave Paxton his atten-
/ ton the latter saw a gentleman whom
he presumed to be the proprietor of the
cffice usher Kredge into an interior and
| private compartment Of the establish
ment.
The door was closed and in the pres
ence OF the clerk it was impossible to
play the listener at it, but still Paxton
meant to know what business Kredg6
had with the real estate agent.
He invented an excuse for his presence
/ and retired.
There was third-rate hotel opposite,
to which Paxton crossed, and engaging
front room, from the window of which

CHANGING about the brokers' ONCE,
Paxton said, in cracked. old mans
dice:
I've missed himi He amt herei"
Who are you looking for?" asked the
My son, Levi, answered Paxton.
At this, the gentleman whom the de-
tective supposed to be the proprietor
came out OF an interior Office.
Then you are Mr.. Kredge, I pre-
sume2" said he.
Yes, sir"
We'll. your son left here but mo-
ment ago."
Did he fix the business up2"
No. He did not positively agree to
purchase the property. He offered ten
thousand dollars cash, but our price is
twelve. Your son will find the place a
bargain at that figure, I assure you, :"
said the agent.
4 don't know. It's a good deal of
money! good deal of money. Well,
must find Levi. GOOd-day, gentlemen
It's good deal OF money, said Paxton.
In his quavering voice.
He was amazed, astonished. Here was
discovery that perplexed him.
1t was clearly evident that Levi
Kredge was in good faith contemplating
making purchase Of ten thousand dol
Z
man had not been worth a dollar in the
world prior to the murder Of John Oak
burn.
But he had received none of the
marked money-the proceeds Of the rob-
berry OF Jason GRrrisOn's safe.
The mystery was, whence came the
money he had offered for the real estate?
Mentally. Paxton searched for an ex-
PLANTATION OF this affair
He in review went over the cireum-
| stances OF the case in debate.
Suddenly he thought of one point up
on which he had not dwelt much. He
remembered that the savings Of a life
] time, which Marion Oakburn thought
her father kept in his little private safe,
/ had not been found.
In an instant Paxton formulated a
/ theory which seemed like the truth, OF
which was at least an explanation as to
how the treacherOus rascal might have
| procured the $40, 900 which he assumed
| TO have.

A baby manatee in tank on board
the steamer st. Augustine, plying on
the Indian River, attracts the wide
eyed admiration of all the passengers.
The baby is only few weeks old and
weighs $50 pounds. Its little bead
like eyes look through the glass and
express satisfaction with the new
quarters, where it gets an abundance
OF manatee grass and green oats,
which it devOurs with raVenOus avid
ity, but only at night.
Messrs. Hepburn and Miller, two
citizens of the Indian River country,
discovered the baby manatee one
night feeding peacefully on the banks
of the river among the tall manatee
grass. The gentleman approached
stealthily with muffied oars and
grabbed the baby by the tail. The baby
started on as il it had received an
electric shock and plOwed through
the tall grass, which bent and
cracked as the boat sped through
with comb of froth at the bows,
making dead for the open water and
the inlet, where the breakers were
rolling in great undulation and break
ing over the shore with a thunderous
sound.
Mr.. Hepburn held on like grim
death to the baby's tail, while Mr.
Miller steered the fast-hying little
boat safely by distractions which
came so near at times that death and
demolition were only escaped by a
miracle. They were determined to
have that baby at any cost. After a
mile-a-minute journey of fully six
miles the little manatee seemed to
tire of the struggle, not, however,
before he had rushed through the
first line of breakers of the inlet. AT
last he was beached and carried back
| in triumph to the other side of the
river Florida Times-TTniO

Of aquatic plants. Thousands are
