At $3.50 the two men met at the rice
mill, nor had they long to wait, before
they could see the Sunshine rounding
q curve, as she came putting down Che
river. She passed the Kendall landing
without halting, but at Orton drew up
to the pier.
"Yes," said Tom, "he'll visit our house
before going home, and probably re-
main there, at least until nine o'clock;
Fannie Is there. and they will ride home
together"
At $3.50 Gordon and Tom stepped to
the door at the Kendall mansion. 1twas
unnecessary for Gordon to knock, as
Aunt Mag had been listening at win
dow, and heard them step on the piazza,
she opened the door, and admitted them.
They proceeded at.once to the library.

master stopped at Orton."

THE first thing to do, Mr.. Hill" sail
Gordon, ais to take off our Shoes" and
following his words, he pulled off his
own.
"Why Is this necessary" asked Tom.
"As precaution against noise; your
shoes off, then one OF us will take .
position beneath that sofa, while the
other will stand in this bookcase. Thus
we cannot only hear, but see every
thing that transplres in this room"
THAT looks like taking mean all

''The end, young man, iustifes the
means. Do not hesitate, If you would
save the honor of your family"
"Marse Tom, If you wants to find out
who kill my ole marster, find out now,
before it is too late"
Tom took off his shoes, and two min
utes later was safely ensconced under
the sofa, and when the fringe had been
dropped 1t would have been impossible
to discover him, while he could readily
see every object in the room.
Hugh Gordon took his stand in tbs
bookcase opposite, after having ar
ranged the curtain in such a manner
as would enable him to see,
Mag locked the door and handed him
the key through the broken glass.
They had been In their respective
positions but short time when car

IN o moment more Herbert Clarence

Clarence little dreamed that bis

A STRONG PROTEST. The people of
Delaware City are indignant over the
dumping of the material dredged from
Cherry Island Flats and Schooner
Ledge in the western channel of Della
ware River opposite Wilmington. This
has been going on for over a year, and
the channel, which is used by boats
pound to the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal, which formerly contained plen-
ty OF room and water, has become so
filled up that even boats of moderate
draught find difficulty in passing.
This week the scOws of rock and mud
were dumped the end of Washington
street, not over $50 yards from the
shore. The shad fishermen of Della
ware City and New Castle, who use
this channel as their drift, will find that
they are in constant danger of having
their nets caught on the rocks and torn
to peices. 1t will cost several thou
sand dollars to dredge out what has
