raped at the door, and q hidden voice
shouted: "Come in." Alonzo stepped
inside, and at once gave a gasp of sur

white curtain across the middle of the
room, dividing it into two apartments.

my good man, will you bring that right
up to 536? I'm in hurry for It,"
The man who had spoken-evident-
ly Mr.. Horatio Gillespie was tall and
pale, with piercing black eyes and
rather long hair. His ulster overcoat
was buttoned tightly about him, and
his height was emphasized by silk hat
which had been rubbed the wrong way
In two or three places.
"I'll get it there if the elevathor don't
break with it," said Larry. "Y' moost
have armor plate or cannon balls in
there"
"Very we'll bring 1t up at once," said
Mr.. Gillespie, paying no attention to
Larry's remark as to the contents Of
the trunk.
AlonEo had been locking at the
stranger with considerable interest.
Room No. 5ae was on his floor, and Mr..
Gillespie would be under his charge.
Alonzo had the entire world divided in
to two classes-those who gave him
something for his services and those
who did not. Mr.. Gillespie did not

myself eating with my own brand-new
knives. forks and spoons. I stared at
them very hard: there could be no
mistake, for l could see the fresh
monograms. l was drEadfully dis

thing. When reached home I told
my husband, rather tremblingly, for
was quite sure they had been stolen.
To my amazement he only laughed.
and said: "Oh, you will get used 20

many guests you will find that, instead
Of asking you to get more supplies. the

eight guests in to dinner only half an
hour before the usual time Zone for

he had shot, that there appeared later

no mutton, for earlier In the day the
