I way SHOWN through me opposite WIN
dows and dimly illuminated the inte-
rior.
Lamar saw q woman closely yelled
She was reclining in a corner, but when
the door opened she started forward and
calculated in a tremulous voice:
"Johnp'
DR.. Lamar knew that voice. A shiver
went through him. There was dull
feeling at his heart. He did not utter o
word. He did not move a muscle. There
was dead silence.
The veiled figure shrank back with
an instructive fear, and the light from
the street lamp fell upon his face A
piercing scream came from behind the
veil.
The figure sat quite motionless upon
the seat.
"FostelleW said Lamar in q low tone.
Maxey answered the knock at the
door instantly. The doctor was very
pale, but he was perfectly calm.
"Where have you been so long?" cried
the artist.
Bidding goodby to an old friend, I"
was the solemn response. "Maxey, let
this man go. There is nothing at all
against him.
DR.. Lamar turned to the coachman
and added in low voice, "Go, John,
and drive your mistress home"
When an officious parsonage, who
would not tell the servant his business,
called at Mrs. Forsythe's house the next
morning, he found the place in confu-
sion. After some persistence he was
shown into the presence of the house
keeper, Of whom he desired to learn
when he should call again.
mot at ALL" returned the house.
keeper coldly. MADAM has gone away
on long visit. She sat up all night
making arrangements for the settlement
of her affairs here. The furniture is to
be stored, and all the servants have been
given months pay. The house will
positively be closed"
There was another person in the city
who went quietly to bed overnight, but
who in the morning could not be found.
1t was the pretty Miss Stevenson.

"Oh, for Gods sakel' the fellow
pleaded, in voice Of terror. "Let me out
Of this! shall be killedW
"Indeed! Who will kill you?''
The man at once became mute, but
he trembled.
"Now, John," said the physician in
quiet tone, ''you are going to tell me
the truth, or you will lose your situation
tomorrow. You know this man Dyer"
81, sir?" the man exclaimed, with an
air of astonishment.
"It is useless for you to affect sur
prise. You are caught you see. What
were you doing here?"
"Only looking around, sir. That is
all, sir, as hope to live"
Hum. Well, now, John, it is of no
use. Twill tell you plainly that it has
long been known to us that somebody in
Mrs. Forsythe's household was in corre-
spondence with this Leander Dye. We
have only been waiting to lay our hands
on the right man. We have found him
at last and unless he is very, very care
full he goes at once to the police. Do
you understand me?"
"Yes, sir. -
"What do you say?"
The man shut his lips tightly togeth-
er. and then answered:
Nothing, sir. ;"
There was something Of a grim reso-
luton in his face which made Lamar
uneasy. Nevertheless he persisted:
Every well, then, you will come in
here with me, and I will lock you up
until we can get an officer"
The man began to expostulate in gen.
uine alarm.
Lamar cut him short:
Enough of thatl Will you tell me
what / ask, or must l do as I threaten
ed?'
The man seemed to be greatly dis
tressed. He looked at Lamar, and he
looked a. the wall. He appeared at O
loss for words. Suddenly he uttered a
despairing cry:
"Well, doctor, you let me drive my
team home, and I will come back anG
stay as long as you like.
"Your team, Gil? Perhaps you will,
point out this team to me?"
"Oh, no, mol That was mistake,
sir Let anybody go with me and SEE
that l come back safe. haven't got
any team"
Lamar at once turned back into the
room, dragging the unfortunate coach
man by the collar.
"Maxey," he asked, edo you fee
competent to deal with this MANI"
The artist smiled grimly.
"Very we'll, keep him here till I come
back. l shall be gone but moment.
The door was closed and locked. La
mar ran down into the street.
A single glance to the left and thu
right along the lighted way showed hin
that the place was wholly deserted. Tht
cold night wind from the river smott
him in the face. He hurried down thu
steps and up to the main avenue.
A number of vehicles We're passing il
either direction, but there was no car
riage standing by the curb as far as hi

Still he did not feel quite satisfied
He went along to the next street, extend
ing to the river, parallel with Balla

ner, his pulse gave great leap.
A close carriage was drawn up by tn,

river. The horses were covered will

why's, ledIleSS Vi anything On
four legs or two, bold and ac-
complished riders. and deeply
versed in the ways Of savage
people. The story Of their ex-
periences among the Mataheles
begins thus:
Letters from Buluwryo con-
tain frequent references to the
dsshing exploits of two Yankee
scouts, as they are termed,
named Ingram and Durham
both San Francisco boys-who
have been attached to Forbes
column during the Matabele
campaign. These two men were
attracted to South Africa by the
news Of the gold discoveries, and
an the breaking out of hostili-
ties volunteered for service.
One letter says: while we were
ten miles from Buluwayo Burn
ham was sent ahead to see what
the Matabele were doing, and he
made his way through numbers
of the enemy to within three
miles OF Lo Bengula's strong
held. He was seen several.
times by the Matabele, but was
too tricky for them and manag-
ed to escape"
Burnham, it is said, is an ex-
pert plainsman, having had con-
siderable experience as a cowboy
on Western cattle range, and is
physically an ideal scout, capa-
BILE of enduring long and difficult
rides little food or water, and
nervy in the last degree. These
qualities made him valuable
accession to the little band of
regulars and volunteers which
did the real work in breaking
up Lo Bengula's strong war par
ties.
After Forbes little. band had
into and occupied Buluwayo
Burnham and Ingram were Sc
lected as the men best fitted to
ride through a rough country,
full of hostile natives, with i'm
| portant dispatches to be wired
to the outside world. The dis
lance to be Travelled was 100
miles, and the chances Of both
couriers getting through alive
seemed l-opelessly small. Their
first encounter with the hos
tiles was fraught with danger
and gave them a chance to dis
play their superb horsemanship.
They had not ridden many
hours from Forbes camp when

they suddenly came in sight of
an impi. or war party
1t was in the heat of midday
and the Matabele warriors were
resting from a long hard march.
Many OF them lay asleep and no
one was on the lockout. The
edispatch-b bearers said that any
attempt to make a detour would
be useless, owing to the fact that
they were in an open streth of
country and could not hope to
avoid detection and chase. They
spent few moments in studying
the situation and in looking ov-
er their horses, and then, steal
