TIE Kindness OF
Goddard 60odGnougl.
By JOHN ]. A'BEoKET.

Goodenough was thoroughly aroused
now. Of course it could have been the
lady's brother or some male relative,
but the mans appearance had not been
as conN incing an Endorsement Of char
acter as the lady's.
With a sudden resolve the worried
young man crossed over, mounted the
steps and tugged at the bell. The house
was perfectly dark. He got no answer
to his ring, nor TO the others which he
gave. Leaving the house, still more
perturbed in his feelings, he encoun-
tered the policeman whose beat it was
and inquired of him who lived in the
house.
"The cook across the way" said the
policeman, "says it's foreigner and
his wife. They've only been there about
amonth. The house was unrented when
they took it. He's tall, black feller,
but his wife amt q bad locker. She's
delicatelike, but she's got a pair OF
eyes in her head. She can use 'erl, You
bet!''
The policeman swung his locust and
grinned as If the lady had vouchsafed
him a glance or two.
:'Black eyes, suppose?" ventured
Goodenough as O feeler.
"Black nothingp' retorted the officer.
"'Green-green like q cats, and they've
got grip to 'em, too, like a cats claws.
Friends of yours?''
sNo," replied Goodenough hastily.
ST probably mistook the number of the
house. I never heard of this couple.
Good night, officer!"
He turned and walked away. He was
pretty we'll ratified now, and his con.
fidence in Mrs. Wheeler was thoroughly
shaken. He had recognized her beyond
the possibility of a doubt. He had been
accessory to he knew not what. He
went round by Wheeler's rooms. There
was light in the windows on the tor
floor. He must have come home about
the time she had said. This looked 9
little better, but Goodenough was still
troubled enough to act on plan he had
thought out On his way, one rather
screditable to SO quiet and conventional
young man. He rang the bell with 9
sense that he was getting pretty well
mixed up in other peoples affairs.
After time enough to admit of some one
coming from the top floor the door was
flung open. "A tall, handsome young
man of about 80, modishly but quietly
dressed, stood regarding Goodenough
with clear, penetrating gaze. He had
to Goodenough a foreign American look.
t'Is Mr.. Wheeler imp asked Good.

eyes, 1 am he,' replied the Other
tersely.
This was encouraging. Mr.. Wheeler
had materialized all fright. Goodenougt
proceeded on the lines he had mapped
out.
"I am from the -" he said witt
some assurance, mentioning one of the

leading daily papers, and would like
to see you for a few minutes if con.
venient."
The young man had the air Of not
understanding the reason Of this and
was not particularly cordial. But he
evidently made up his mind quickly,
for he replied, with hardly any hssita-
tion: Every we'll. Will you come up
stairs to my room? Though don't see
what the - can want of me. f"
He led the way to his sitting room
and invited the reporter" to be seated.
Goodenough selected chair which
commanded a view of the bedroom and
the bed. In swift glance he saw thatthe
box was there and also saw that it must
have been remarked and moved BY Mr..
Wheeler, for it was several inches near
or the side of the footboard than he had
left it. He breathed more freely. It was
probably all right, and he was half
sorry he had come. He must not
queer" the poor wife and spoil all he
had done in her behalf by any false
move.
Mr.. Wheeler" he said, with the
easy, somewhat familiar air he imagin-
ed reporter would assume, there has
been report handed in at the Office
that some important move is meditated
by large estate of which you are one
Of the executors. Can you give any de-
tails about the matter for publication?''
The other young man had sat perfect
ly motionless, his eyes fixed on Good
enough unwaveringly. He kept them
still more .steadily-in fact, rather
pdercingly-fxed on him as he replied,
with some decision: ''You will have to
be more specific. I haven't the least
idea to what you refer =
The report was that you and theoth-
er two executors had withdrawn impor-
tant documents from the safety vault
and were to arrange the details of this
transaction with the heirs very soon. -
