UP his gangway he brushed the table at
which Carton sat in front OF the tray
of prizes. When the shooting was over
Dawkins read out the names of those
adjudged successful; the prizes We're
handed to the winners. and the enter
tainment was at an end.
This evening, no sooner had the last
visitor gone than Dawllins, with noise
and hustle. locked the front door and
called out in loud voice:
Ladies and gentlemen of the COM
pauy, ask you to give me few min
utes. viii all, please. step up TO the

The locking of the door and this
speech. delivered in impressive tones,
filed the dozen performers with amaze
ment. Chances of wonder were e1-
changed, and heads We're shaken.
When Broughton caught Dawkins
words he was taking down his overcoat
from peg behind the wing. He hung
up the overcoat again, came forward
on the platform, and resting his rife

back against the wall as far as the pat
form would allow from Carton, who
had not yet been led from his elbow
chair. In front of the Osseous-Eyed
Man lay the empty tray from which the
prizes had just been handed to the W 4
nerS by him.
Broughton folded his arms across his
chest and looked at the blind man
closely. and for the first time while he
knew Carton, saw color in the ivory
pallid check In his heart Broughton
prayed he might not be called upon to
speak. To h i'm the blush OF shame on

Broughton he said: "You are out of it,

his complexion of ivory pallor, his
appearance ghastly. When introduce
ing him, the first night of his en-
gagement, Frederick Dawkins, the pro-
prietor, said Carton had been blind from
birth. In ordinary men the substance
of the eyeball is horn; in Carton it was
common bone-bone without sight or
feeling. In proof of sightlessness
Dawkins waved piece of flaming,
dazzling magnesium wire close to the
staring yellow eyes; they never winlled.
In proof of his inscnsibility he thrust q
red hot needle against the orb; neither
the eyeball nor the man moved.
At the Pentagon one found legerde-
main, the speaking head, clairvoyance,
sword-swallowing plate-spinning, ball
tossing, singing, dancing, and, above all,
the marvellous shooting by Captain
Bill Broughton, the greatest marksmaE
of the age" The big posters repre-
scented Brough.on shooting an apple
off the head of beautiful Fife Fen
ton. Every one in the company knew
the handsome marksman was in love
with lovely Effie, that Fife favored
him, and that Dawkins had asked Fife
to marry him and that she had refused.
Dawkins, on getting his dismissal,
exhibited to no one any sign of disap-
pointment or anger, but in private he
ground his teeth and swore vengeance.
One day. few weeks afterward, he
met Broughton in the street and said:
Il hear you are the lucky man. l con-
graduate you. If ever I can be of serv-
your friend"
When Dawlins got back and was
alone in his Office at the Pentagon he
cursed, and swore, and shook his fist
with rage.
One evening, a week later he sought
Broughton before the show began and
said: you know l like you and trust
crowd. | have come to tell you most
unpleasant thing. The show is being
robbed by some one in the company"
Robbed" cried Broughton. Robbed!
That is a big word. Are you sure?"
Sure as I am alive / thought that
we should be all right when we salts
fed the audience by getting that blind
man TO hand out the prizes. But some
one is thieving One gold watch and
two silver ones. have been stolen off the
prize tray"
DO you suspect anyone?"
'Well, Broughton, I tell you, and l
wotld not tell another living soul, /
most strongly suspect Carton"
What, You think the blind man
steals the watches off the tray
'Who else of all the company, Bill
Broughton, would rob me? The rest of
us are old comrades. He is a fresh i'm
portation. I am sure he took the
watches. I want you to keep an eye on
him tonight. I'm going to put two
gold watches on the tray as if by acci-
dent. When you pass up and down see
If the two are there"
At first Broughton refused to act the
Setective, but Dawkins represented that
while the thief was undetected no mem
Der of the company was free from sus-
picion. Then Broughton promised.
Before the captains shooting came
''the great competition for valuable
prizes among amateurs of the audi
ence." There were prizes for dancing,
for singing, for recitations, for conun-
drums, for topical verses-the audience
declaring the victors by vote.
While the votes were being counted
Broughton did his turn, shooting in the

Behind the hand with which Daw-

smile of envenomed triumph as he
glanced from the face Of Broughton to
the watch glittering on the Ovcrcoat.
