awake all night in an effort to make q
correct deduction from the informa-
ton furnished. The next day he
cautiously endeavored to test the truth
Of Miss Endicott's vision. He met
Hendricks In the rotunda, and after a
polite salutation said: ut is impossible
for me to wander about In tn place
and not hear the men occasionally dis
cussing your affairs I have just heard
something that leads me to believe
that a wal vessel is watching the
bayou. Is that true3'
Eyes," replied Hendricks. 'She ar
rived yesterday morning. expected
her before"
He then walked away as If disin-
c1ined to talk further upon the sub
iect
So this piece Of information was abb
solutely correct. Calicot saw that the
affairs Of Hendricks and his men were
now too urgent TO leave them much
time to think Of him and the
and he resolved to improve the oppor-
tunity with Miss Endicott. Miss La
port made the task an easy one, for she
brought Miss Endicott into her apart
ment, gave her en- invalid chair and
admitted Calicot He observed hat the
girl did not suffer in herstrances when
the doctor was not present. She even
acknowledged hat the doctor fright
ened and panied her. but volunteered
to take the packet of hatr and tried to
do what Calicot desired. She closed
her eyes amomeRt, gave way to q little
tremor and then said: Eyes, there
they are. He Is reading the papers to
her" Calicot very soon discovered
that she could not repeat what she
heard, If. indeed. she heard anything
at all Whatever her special gifts
were they appeared TO be confined to
vision. She could read The title and
the type OF the paper in Jennings
hands and she saw his lips move. He
was undoubtedly reading to Mrs.
Hendricks, and she was Summarizing
the intelligence In dispatches to
Hendricks. 1t was not difficult to
direct the girls mind to the news in
front Of Fenning, and she read 1t off
with her body bent forward as II

object and speaking slowly like a child

What was CaIicot's establishment to
hear her, In this manner, convey the
import Of the matter before her strange
vision.
He learned that the success Of the
authorities In tracking the source Of
the widespread Junta conspiracy to
western Tennessee, had led to some
curious developments. The New York
police had succeeded in linking to-
gether several mysterious vents which
pointed to the fact that the master
spirit of this new danger to social
order was no less o parsonage than
the audaoious pirate who had robbed
the Atlantic steamship two a ago.
The United States government had
taken means to stamp out this social.

Here the girl stopped, and calicot
with allowable Impotence asked her
to go on: 'Fe has latd the paper

Day after day, as the girl revealed IN

began to arrange itself In his mind
