CHAPTER II.
A MYSTERY.


 lodged in BaNter's wharf There was a hole in the side of the wall, under the stairs, for Ventilating the cellars, closed with an iron grating. One of the bars was gone, and through the narrow opening could just manage to squeeze-thanks to being a Ripper. Once inside I had the whole run of the warehouse. It was quite empty, but on the top floor some old sack ing had been left, and this served me for a bed. It was dry and good enough for an outcast like me, who knew nothing of com fort and still less of luxury. 1 slept there that night, and the next morning was lucky enough to get work (Sail mending) at ship chandler's in Cable street, for which he gave me my dinner and tea and paid me sevenpence halfpenny into the bargain.
 It was dark when 1 left there between : and s, and feeling safe with regard to Putty hurried down to Ferryboat stairs as quick ly as could-running part of the way. was anxious to know what was going on at the Mariners Joy. l had been thinking about it all day long-feeling a strange emotion within me such as I had never felt before, accompanied with n yearning to see Taras again-to get another kind look from him. l resolved if could to tell him of Drigo's second visit to the Joy and all had overheard, that he might be warned against the treachery which it seemed pret- ty clear his companion intended.
 Putty was lounging against the doorpost of the front door of the Joy, in Sweet Apple lane, under the flickerlng light of the gas lamp at the corner of Ferryboat alley. He had long clay pipe in his mouth, and l judged he was looking out for Taras and Drigo, who had not yet arrived waited in the shadow of m Archway until he knocked the ashes out of his pipe and turned into the house, yawning and scratch ing the back of his head. Then slipped down the alley to the stairs.
 There was no light to be seen at the back of the house. The passage door was shut, and the riekety shutters of the bay window were closed also for the first time in my re membrance Under the stairs found dry timber where could sit secure from observation, and there waited for Taras.

 was lazing on the rotten balcony before the busy front of the Mariners Joy when I first saw Taras. He came from Ferry boat alley. the passage running between the Joy and BaNter's wharf and leading to the steps where the old ferry used tu ply, be tween that part of Shadwell and Rother- hithc, and another man was with him named DriSo Tarss was a fine, big man, fair, with long tawny iau>tache and q short beard. He was dressed like a work man in a dark gray suit, a flannel shirt and n blue handkerchief fer a tic, but he didn't look like workman for all that-at any rate not such as you see dowE Shadwell way. He was too clean and active for that. DriSo was not a bit like him, being middle aged, meager, with a stoOp in his shoulders, and having a yellow face, with high cheek bones, a sparse black beard and slantinG eyes. Men like him are common enough about Wrapping and the Highway.
 They walked down to the stairs, and Dri- go pointed across toward the Commercial docks. but could not make out what he said. Taras nodde,l and they turned round and looked attentively at the Mariner s Joy and then at BaNter's wharf on the right and Juhnson's yard at the left, DriEo talking with great e1rneStnCSS in low voice all the while and TarnS listening gravely as he smoked his pipe and replying only with word CT a nod of hi head from time 10 time. couldn't make out what they found to interest them, for Baxter s wharf was shut up and had been shut up for yearS-and there was nothing in John sons yard but a great heap of ruSting boil CTS and old iron.

IL Is the general expectation that the
