the other light, "a detective has life

the other light, a detective has life
time in which to correct blunder.'
A lifetime. 1t is not in accordance with
Mr.. Sturgis' usual practice to use SO
vague a term. A lifetime is not neces-
sarily very long time, Mr.. Sturgis."
During this trade Sturgis and
Sprague had remained standing with
their eyes fixed upon the cleaning car
buncles which peered at them from be-
hind the grated peephole at the top of
the stairs. The artist seemed to real
ize that the fight was lost. His attitude
was that of brave man accepting,
with calm despair, an unpleasant but
inevitable doom. The reporter had
drawn his revolver at the first sound
Of Murdock's voice, but had immedi-
ately returned it to his pocket upon
realizing that the chemist was protect
ed by bullet-proof grating. Now, pale
and collected, he remained inscrutable.
1t was impossible, even for the sharp
eyes of Murdoch, to determine whether
he was at last resigned to his fate, or
whether his active mind was still on
the alert for loophole of escape.
The bit of candle which he held in
his hand had burned so lo,. that at last
he was unable to hold it without risk
of burning his fingers. Whereupon he
coolly set it down upon the stone floor,
where presently the wick fell over into
a pool of molden paraffine, and the
flame sputtered noisily, sending fitful
CLEANS through the darkness.
WELL" continued Murdock's voice,
sit is at any rate a great satisfaction
to play a game with an adversary
worthy of ones steel. You have played
well, Mr.. Sturgis. / think you would
have won modestly; and you are losing
as / would myself have lost, had our
positions been reversed. Goodbye"
The cleaning eyes disappeared from
the grating and the sliding panel closed
with a metallic click.
"Now, then," said Sturgis to his COM
panion, 1.-The last chance lies in the
speaking tube. But first help me move
this box"
"What do you want to do with the
box?" asked Sprague, who, however,
did as he was bid.
III may nelp us 10 gam d uItle llLne'
Put it down here"
Sturgis struck match and pointed
out the spot.
ION the hot-air register?"
"On what looks like a hot-air regis
ter. Did you ever see a hot-air regis
ter with no apparent means of shutting
off the heat?"
Sprague, who stood almost over the
register, suddenly threw back his head
and gasped for breath.
You have discovered the secret of
this death trap" said Sturgis, observ-
ing him.
"Gas!" spluttered the artist.
Eyes, he is going to asphyXiate us.
Now, quick, to the speaking tube! The
box will somewhat retard the rush of
gas; but, at the best, it is only ques-
ton of minutes before the air becomes
so charged as to render respiration
impossible"

HAD A TOOTH TO PICK.
The LudIcrOus Mistake of an Oriental
Diplomat Whose English
Was Weak.

"In earlier days." said H. L. Wilson,
of Washington, d. c., relates the New
York Tribune, "a diplomat came to US
from out the east who was a source Of
joy and never ending pleasure while he
sojourned among us. His short, we'll
built figure was surmounted by head
out of all proportion to the body be-
meath, which to maintain a perfect
symmetry should have been joined to a
far larger trunk. This disproportion
of head to body led certain young
wit of the capital to remark on first
catching sight of the newcomer: He
looks as if he'd picked up his head on
battlefield, doesn't he? The visitor
from the orient signalized his advent
into the social life of Washington by
giving a dinner, at which, he being
bachelor, the wife of feilow-member
of the corps acted as hostess. To her
as she entered his house, adhering to
certain custom of the east, with a deep
salaam he presented salver upon
which rested some bread and'salt and
highly chased key of pure gold, which
supposedly gave entrance to his treas
ure chest, the whole combination tes-
tifying hospitality and confidence
Now, this key was very beautiful, and
the wife of his fellow diplomat, having
regarded it with covetous eye when
she found it presented to her, promptly
put it into her pocket, and left it there,
to the manifest and ill-concealed cha
grin of her host.
I'm his first days in Washington, but
after he had learned sufficient English
to maintain a running conversation, he
became ambitious, and essayed the idi-
ON of the newly7acquired tongue with
something of disaster to himself, for at
a ball one evening he went up to deb
utante and greeted her with: 'Ah ha!
I've got tooth to pick with you.'
"He has gone from us now, but he
has left a vacant place behind him, for
he was a good fellow, and clever as
well, and you were always sure that he
would furnish constant food for talk
the season through"

bodied men and armed? What can one
man do against two"
1T is not an open fight" said Stur-
gis, "but | am glad to see your spirit.
l do not give up; but l want you to
realize that we are in a critical situa-
ton, with the odds enormously against
u.s."
"Why, what can Murdock do?"
"Perhaps what he did to Chatham.
1t will probably not be long before we
discover what that was"
But there must be some way of
opening that door from the inside"
said Sprague.
There evidently is none," replied
Sturgis; ''he probably controls these
doors from the outside by electrical
connection"
The men were back in the square
chamber. Sturgis' eyes were rowing
restlessly over the walls, ceiling and
floor in search of loophole of escape.
There is no chance to reach the sky
light without a ladder; and even if we
could reach it, we should be no fur
ther advanced, as it would be impos-
sible to make any impression on the
steel shutters. That leaves the regis
ter and the speaking tube. While |
examine the register, suppose you try
the tube. If it connects with the Man
haitian Chemical company's office,
there is bare chance that we may at
tract the attention of the detectives
whom we left there"
Gas we were saying, Mr.. Sturgis-"
The words came in Murdock's mock
ing tones.
Sturgis quickly held the lighted can
die above his head and peered in the
direction whence came the sound. A
panel of the door at the head of the
stairs had been pushed up, revealing a
small opening, covered by strong and
losely-woven wire netting.
''As we were saying, murder will
out!' Nevertheless, it is sometimes
easier to weld chain, even of circum-
stantial evidence, than it is to pre-
dict who will be bound in it."
Sturgs and Sprague stood in the
glimmering light of the candle, silent
ly watching the glowing eyes behind
the screen.
''Mr. Sturgis, you are clever man."

THE LOOM OF GOD.

Days curtains blue are furled; their muf-
fling glare,
That shuts Infinity from eyes of earth,
as drawn aside; and now, august and bare,
The loom of God in majesty stands forth.
O swift and sure the shining shuttles fly,
Weaving apace the web of destiny;
Yet neither throb nor jar nor swapping
thread
tBreaketh the awful hush where God doth
tread:
And l. an atoms atom, still am hurled
Onward and onward with this fleeing
world.

sign
Benumbs, engulfs, each struggling thought
of mine
L tremble in the starry stiffness grand
That powerless | stand
Yet with the web a weft sublmer still
Is wrought-as flowers bloom on warp
and woof
So bloom Gods thoughts in man If he but
will,
Nor from his holy purpose hold aloof.
o. swift and sure as planets swerveless
flight,
Drawing the threads that bind 1he Infinite,
Our days go flashing-shuttles in the loom,
Weaving the web whereon Gods thoughts

The meaning give that doth complete or

The plan Divine; and whatsoever 1t be,
The mystic thread shall span eternity!
4 tremble in the stiffness, that one strand
l hold in mine own hand!

The late Leonard SWEET always prid-

to another as "a son of sea cook"
Mr.. SWEET turned abruptly about and
said: THAT expression is not correct.
You mean the son of a sekawk, which
is a perversion of the Indian name Sc
gonk, which means skunk, and is usu-
ally pronounced 'sekawk.' Few people

CHAPTER XXI.
THE DEATH CHAMBER.

Before the men had gone many
steps a grating sound reached their
ears from the direction of the sky
light. TGey looked up and saw slid
ing steel shutters slowly and ponder
ously close, like grim jaws; and sud
denly they felt themselves cut off
from the outside world.
Sturgis, taking up his lighted can
die, made his way to the door of the
subterranean passage and tried in
vain to open it; the heavy iron bolt
remained immovable in it's socket.
Inch by inch he scrutinized the door
with growing anxiety. At last he
abandoned the search and returned in
the direction of the square chamber
THAT explains why he wanted to
shut me in here when | was in his
Office" he muttered under his breath
What is the matter?" asked
Sprague.
I'VE are caught like rats in trap"
replied Sturgis. Then with feeling he
added: 81 do not know how this will
end, old man. / have bungled, and
fear the game is lost. If our lives are
the forfeit, you will owe your death to
my stupidity"
Sprague looked at his friend, as if
surprised to hear him apparently
abandon the fight.
Don't worry about me-" he said,
kindly; 81 came here of my own free
will. But" he added, as a vision of
Agnes Murdoch flashed upon his mind,
