CHAPTER VII.

Lampllin did not see the detective
again till late in the afternoon of the
cay thus begun. He met Hendricks as
ne sprang from a cab in front of Grace
church, on Broadway.

''Ah, a good idea, of course. Have
you read the papers?"
"Only the headlines. They are
enough for me. Denham's star is in the
ascendant, but it will sink eventually
into a mud-puddle."
''He seems not to have got word out
of Gielow's servant" replied the doctor.
'He didn't know how to do it,

Summit of White Pass Finished.

SKAGwAY, Alaska, Feb. 16, via Seat
tie, Wash, Feb. 21.-The task of build
ing a railroad along the p"ecipitous
side of the canyon from Skagway to
the summit of White pass, an elevation
of nearly 1000 feet, has been COM
pleted. The first car load of freight
was delivered on the Summit yester.
day. The event was made the occasion
of an exchange of courtesies between
the railway and Canadian officials.
From the summit of Lake Bennett

The doctor nodded.
''All of them point to Gielow's love
affair and his recent flight. They make
Miss Huntington disagrseably con-
spicuous."
''And blasted shame, too" NUT
tered Hendricks. "She belongs to the
swell gang and all that, and was born
with the proverbial spoon in her pretty
mouth, but all the same she is a credit
to womanhood-the stuff mothers of
great men are made Of"

They Were Plain and UnpretentiOus,
But They Had the Hearts
of Heroes.

Smith, a gunner in the. service of the
East Indian company, was known as
the sweep" a derisive name given to
mark some eccentricity, for the man
was a character. He had charge of the
boats belonging to the military sta
ton, and one day wrote the brigade
major, asking: "When shall 1 have
the bote ready?" The major replied:
Have the boat ready at such an hour"
When the major went down to the
river with a party of ladies, he asked
Smith how he spelled boat" Una
Dashed by the presence of ladies, Smith,
without symptom of nervousness. an
swered the officer: Some people spells
it boat, but spells it b-o-t-e."
But Smith, Notwithstanding his
hooking nickname, wasnot man to be
laughed at. One day the roof OF the
building which held the ammunition
caught fire. There was panic; even
the best disciplined soldiers lost their
heads. But ''the sweep" mounted the
roof, pulled off the thatch, poured buck
cts of water over the flames and saved
the magazine. 1t was as pluclIy a thing
as it was possible for man to do; for
there was powder enough in the build
ing to wreck the station.

One day fire broke out on the vessel

softly to the door, unlatched it, and
glided out into the dimly-hghted cor
ridor. He turned corner, and, going

heard what I'll bet the police will never
get out of the artists servant. Iheard
iim tell Miss Huntington that Gielow
had confessed to the murder"
AS they walked away through the
lonely streets Hendricks recounted
infinitely what had taken place in the
studio.
He'll never hang for it if he is
caught" was the doctors comment
when his friend had concluded. "It is
plain that he is as mad as march hare"
The detective reserved his opinion on
that point, and Lampkin studied his
face in no little surprise. Hendricks
paused, struck a match on a wall and
lighted a cigar. He held two in his
hand, but he was too much absorbed to
offer the remaining unlighted one to his
friend.
"You certainly think Gielow did the
killing, don't you?" questioned Lamp
kin, taking the cigar as it was travelling
back to Hendricks vest pocket.
"Oh, beg pardon:" exclaimed the de-
tective. Il was not thinking of what 1
was doing. AS to your question, it is by
far too early to pronounce the artist
| guilty, sane or insane. If l did that,
there would be nothing left to unraveI,
and I don't operate that way" He
heaved a big sigh. doctor, mark my

The vast mystery with which the rascal

The old mansion is reputed to have been
the headquarters of a gang of thieves of
long standing, and when they were dis

about the place. One of the thieves

GUNB0AT HELENA AT MANILA
Four Other Similar Vessels Are On the
Way to Join Adm. Dewey's
Asiatic Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Adm. Dewey
informs the navy department that the
gunboat Helena arrived at Manila
Monday morning, with all on board
well. The Helena left Boston Novem-
Der 8.
The Helena is the first of the United
States vessels built particularly for
service in Asiatic waters that has
reached that station. Her remarkably
light draft enables her to navigate mar
row and crooked streams eight feet in
depth, while her armament. was ar
ranged altogether with view of pre-
serving order ashore. She has an ar
mored military mast in which machine
guns are mounted so feet above the
waters. Those guns are able to reach
the country for miles around. Espe-
cially are they useful where the river
has high banks. The naval officials
say she can ascend the Pasig river
well within the insurgent lines, and
besides she can reach within striking
distance of Malolos and other insur-
gent strongholds 1t is the belief
here that Adm. Dewey will put her to
work at once in concerted operations
with the army.
-Four other gunboats similar to the
Helena are now on the way to join
Adm. Dewey and will reach him with
in the next two weeks,
MANILA, Feb. 21.-After four COM
panies of the California regiment and
two companies of the Idaho regiment
retired to San Pedro Macati from
Guadalupe, under orders from Gen. E.
S. Otis Sunday, the insurgents became
encouraged. They followed the Amer
leans at safe distance as they retired,
and during the night they kept up a
deSultOry firing. Several of their shots
penetrated the headquarters of Gen.
King, which is in the building former
ly occupied by the rebel, Gen. Pillar.
The unusual number of the enemy
who have beer seen to the northward
causes a suspicion that they are plan
| ming an attack on Gen. MacArthur's
| division. In the city here matters are
progressing much as usual. The milf
tary authorities are keeping close
watch upon the natives and whatever
apprehensions were felt by foreigners
of danger from this quarter have now
been dismissed.
The rebels in the country in front of
the American lines are closely scan
ming every move made by the Ameri-
can troops, but they apparently fail to
realize the significance of some of
them. Their alleged sharpshooters
take advantage of every opportunity
to pick off our men at long range, but
they seldom succeed in hitting any OF
| them.
When the troops left for San Pedro
Macati Sunday the enemy believed
them to be retreating, for they opened
a weak attack For the first time since
the battle of February 5 the rebels
used artillery. They only fred two
! shots at the Americans. both of which
fell short. The Utah battery replied
to the fire and few shots silenced the
enemy's guns.
