IotIce the number of ne cab?- he

you notice the number of the cab7- he
asked
Yes. It was number I'LL
Find that cab in the morning, and
then report, ordered Paxton, and then
he dismissed his agent.
Sayer made an investigation relating
to the discovery Of cab No. iii, and the
result was that he obtained Trustworthy
Information that the cab licensed under
that number was not out at all the pre-
eeding night.
The detectives agent was forced to
tho conclusion that the cab in which
Marion had been carried away was one
OF those unlicensed vehicles called
Night Hawks" which in violation of a
city ordinance are driven by night, and
upon which a different number is traced
every night, or even more frequently, in
order to bafie the police.
AS usual Paxton received a call from
his patron, Mr.. StanmOre, the next day,
and the two discussed the situation now
presented by the perplexing mystery in
which they were both so deeply in
terested.
Stanmore seemed even more anxious
than ever for Marion's safety.
Paxton assured him that despite her
mysterious conduct at the house Of Mrs.
Kilt, the cashiers daughter was now
really a captive in the power Of Levi
KTedge and his cOnfederates.
knew she had been abducted "
cried stanmore.
Then Paxton told him of his brief in
terview with Marion in Marvin's house,
and he repeated her words exactly.
StanmOre sprang to his feet and ex-
citedly made the transit of the room
several times while he muttered:
would give all my fortune to save
heri"
All" thought Paxton. Il wonder
what your secret is, friend Stanmore.
It's clear you take a surprising interest
in this girl. If mistake not there is a
mystery Of the past behind your con-
duct.
Stanmore knew not that his thoughts
had found expression in words.
The interview lasted for come time.
While Paxton and les agent were
thereafter continuing the quest for Levi
Kredge and Marion Oakburn, Stuart
Harland was wandering about the city
day and night, hoping he might chance
to meet the supposed assassin who had
exchanged coats with him on the rail-
way train.

shouted Malvin. and he and Levi Kredge
rushed at Paxton.
The odds were more than three TO one
against the detective, including the serv-
ants.
II seem to desert you now, it is that
I may live TO save you, whispered Pax
ton TO Marion.
Then he wade leap through door in
the side Of the hall leading 10 the front
parlor, just as his foes were about to
close in upon him.
The detective at that moment Of peril
thought rapidly, and he had resolved
upon desperate attempt at escape.
Closing the door of the parlor the in
slant he had passed through it, he over
turned a table against it with a crash
and sprang 10 a window, which he opened
as Malvin and his confederates burst
into the room.
But the way of escape was not yet
open to Paxton.
A pair Of heavy shutters barred his
flight through the window.

IN some Suldll parishes Wner6 IQc
minister has no regular salary, but
depends upon the contributions of his
thin congregation for support, il I'M
doubtedly seems a little hard at times
that the parishioners are so much
more ready TO provide for the heather
in far-off lands than for the poor
clergyman who faithfully breaches to
and visits them year after year.
Parson Cliff had an invalid wife
and large family, but though some
Of his parishiOners were Well-tO-dO,
and respected him highly, they were
often, in their zeal for the heather,
forgetful Of their duty nearer home.
The old Westinghouse was badly
in want of repair, and the minister's
family were in need of many things;
but as the house could not complain,
and the family did not, the Burmese
Cleaners" society absorbed all the
zeal that was available in the parish,
could be raised.
They're only thoughtless, my
dear" the minister patiently eX-
planned to his wife one day. But I
think, perhaps, it viii do no harm,
now that matters have gone so far,
for me to give them a little hint
next Sabbath as to the way things
stand. 1 would not wish to take

the broken pane Of glass in the win
dow directly behind me weeks ago,
but no rags could be spared from the
family wardrobe. The collection for
foreign missions will now be taken
up, after which we will sing the mis-
sionary hymn!"
The pastor received a number of
calls during the week which followed,
in the course of which his heart was
made much lighter and his purse
heavier, and at the next meeting of
the Burmese Cleaners it was voted
that a portion of the sum raised
each month was to be reserved for
home missions. - Youths Com

CHATTER XII.

When Malvin ushered Paxton into the
apartment where half a dozen men, in
Guiding the janitOr. Levi Kredge, were
assembled, he introduced the detective
TO the company as his lawyer, Mr.. Ajax
Crawley.
The Introduction was mutually &C
knowledged in a most gentlemanly way.
Then Malvin drew Paxton aside, and
while the others resumed the eonversa-
ton, which had been interrupted by the
entrance OF the disguised detective,
Malvin said:
i expected you would drop me line
to-day
I wrote yon. Strange if you did not
receive my letter, answered Paxton.
We'll, I did not receive it. But tell
me, how about Andrews case2"
Paxton felt that he was in deep water,
but he knew that If he hesitated he was
betrayed, and so he promptly replied:
think We shall fix it all right, pro
rata"
Malvin regarded the detective with a
look of amaZement.
Paxton comprehended that he must
have made mistake In this answer.

A Ranchman's Horrible Death.

Dutch Henry's band of horse thieves,
which for years ranged through the
southern part of the United States and
Northern Mexico, in Arizona, recently
inflicted a terrible punishment upon a
ranchman, Henry Withers, who followed
up and shot three of its members after
a descent had been made upon his ranch
and his cattle driven away. Wlthers was
taken out on the hot sand beds and left
to lie naked for six hours fully exposed
to the rays of the sun. This was not
enough, and he was taken, still naked
and carried to bed of cactus bushes,
where he was laid On the sharp points,
He was bound tightly to a stake, and
then large ant hill which was near was
torn open with sticks, and he was left to
his fate.
The insects swarmed out and over
Withers' body. and within two hours he
was dead from their bites. The ants
did not leave him alone, however, until
every particle of flesh was eaten from
his bones. One of the prisoners of the
band was taken where he could witness
the whole AFFAIR, and turned loose and
told to tell the people that that would be
the future punishment OF all who tried
to kill q member Of the band.
