CHAPTER XIX. CONTINUED.
THAT will do. observed Sturgis,
presently; "the old woman is coming
AZ fast as she cam"
'.What old woman?''s asked the de-
tectiye. $E ss..5s *SssSS.ss
II don't know Perhaps I ought to
have said an old woman. I hear her
hobbling on the stairs" .
The detective placed his ear to the
keyhole. After listening attentively,
he turned to the reporter with an in
credulous smile. =
''Well, Mr.. Sturgis," said he, IF you
can hear anything in there, your ears
are sharper than mine. That's all i
can say" LINN ,,.<rss;s ;.... .,,,-. ..,.s,.l. %,
She is on the second flight" J" replied:
the reporter, quietly. Vow she is ii
the second-story hall-and now you
can surely hear her, coming down the
last fight"
Bysthis time, sure enough, the sound
Of footsteps began to be audible to the
other three men; and presently the
door opened and disclosed the scared
face of an old Irish woman.
..And phwat might yez be wantin,'
gintlemin, to be after scarin' an ould
woman most to death wild yer ring

to his room. I'll go right up, and my
friends will wait for me here"
''Mister Thomuz Chathum, is it?"
said the old woman; "well, ye've come
to- the wrong house to see him, do Ike
thinkin', fer he don't live here.'
Come, that won't do," said the de-
tective, sharply; 1--WE belong to the po-
lice, and we saw Chatham enter this
house,
At the mention of the police, the old
hag's parchment face became shade
yellower and her eyes glistened.
"Sure, thin, if he do be hidin' here,
It's mesilf as 'ud know it," she said,
after short interval; "but yez can
foind 'um, if yez loike; yez can foind
'um.'
Whereupon she turned and hobbled
off, leaving the intruders to their own
resources.
They found themselves in a narrow
hallway. On the right was rickety
staircase leading to business offices in
the upper part of the building; on the
left, a door opening into the Office of
the Manhattan Chemical company, and
at the end of the hall another door,

that remained was to notice that one
Of the shelves was slightly soiled in
just one spot, as though by the re-
peated contact Of q hand. From this, /
urgued that the bolt must be attached
to this board. And twas. That is all. -
# As he spoke, the reporter entered q
dark and narrow passage.
Don't shut the door," said he to his
companion, who followed him.
At that moment, however, the artist
stumbled; and, instinctivsly holding
out his hands to save himself from fall
ing, he released his hold of the door,
which closed with slam. .4, 5.
'That is unfortunate said Sturgis;
I'VE may have to lose some time in
learning how to work the bolt from
this side. Hold on; it will be prudent
to keep open line of retreat, in case
of unforeseen emergencies. Hello! we
sare in luck, Nothing concealed on this
side; the bolt IN plain sighs;; works
easily. All's we'll Then let us 60 on;
unless am greatly mistaken, we shall
find another exit on the other side."
After following the underground
passage for some distance the men
climbed some steps and, reached a
square chamber, on one side of which
rose a stairway leading to door
above. The room was surmounted by a
skylight, which was wide open, admit
ting draught of cold air from the
outside.
Sturgis set down his lighted candle
and proceeded to examine his sur
roundings. In the middle of the room
stood a truck, upon which lay long
pine box. A table and chair consti-
tuted the only furniture of the place.
At one side there was long, low,
lead-lined tank, filled to the depth of
about two feet with dark viscous
liquid. Near it lay few empty car
boys. In the floor there was what
seemed to be hot-air register, of large
size and Of peculiar construction. The
walls were bare, unbroken, save by the
projection of the mouthpiece of a
speaking tube, and by set of shelves
filled with TASKS, crucibles, alembics
and the other paraphernalia of a chem
lists laboratory.
After the reporter had finished re-
connoitering he sat down upon the
long box in deep thought. Sprague OBJ
served him with silent curiosity for
awhile, and then, with growing impa-
tience:
II say, old man" he ventured at last
to ask, ''did you bring me here, armed
to the teeth, to see you go off into a
trance?"
Sturgis started like a man suddenly
awakened from a deep sleep.
'"Eh? What? Oh, yes-those conf
dences. Well, you start in with yours.
am trying to find the denouement of
my story. I feel that it is just within
my grasp; and yet I cannot seem to
see it yet. But can listen to you while
am thinking. Go on"
II have not any story to TELL" said
Sprague, somewhat offended at his
friends apparent Indifference to what
he had to say.
''Oh, yes, you have" retorted Stur-
gis, with conciliatory smile; ''you
said you had news to tell me. Well, tell
away. I am listening most respectful
~, in spite of my apparent absorp-
tiOn.''
"What a strange fellow you are, Stur-
gis," !" laughed Sprague, good-naturedly.

Antiquities OF Baseball.

A north Missouri editor, who first studied
baseball rules while Sunday school boy,
enters into the following antiquities of the
national game: "The devil was the first
coacher. Eve stole first. Adam stole second.
When Isaac met Rebecca at the well she
was walking with pitcher. Sampson struck
out good many when he beat the Philis-
slew the y Esyptisns: Ca Cain nm made de- base hit at

Sturgis started at the name. II. II
"Chatham!" he calculated; what do
you know about Chatham?'' n
Is what, are you interested in Chat
ham?" asked the artist, curiously. It
know very little about him, only that
he is one Of my disappointed rivals" 81
And he .thereupon related to the re-
porter what he knew of Chatham's
suit. -. s
Sturgis listened with deep attention
tohis friends narrative, and Illuminated
in silence long after the artist had
ceased speaking.
AT last he started up with q sudden
exclamation, and, walking over to the
side of the tank, he looked into the
depths of it's oily contents, as if fas-
cinated by some horrible thing he saw
there.
Sprague came and stood beside him
and gazed curiously into the viscous
liquid. There was nothing there that
he could see.
"What is it ?" he asked.
Without replying, Sturgis took from
his pocket bone-handled knife and
carefully dipped one end of the handle
into the fluid in the leaden tank. At
once the liquid began to seethe and
boil, giving out dark, pungent fumes.
II thought so," muttered the re-
porter, under his breath; that man is
truly a genius-the genius of evil.'
"Who?" asked sprague.
Sturgis made no reply. His eyes
were wandering about the room, as if
in search of something.
"Hand me couple of those long
glass tubes from that shelf yonder,"
he said, earnestly.
The artist complied with the request.
Dipping these tubes into the oily
liquid, Sturgis, after considerable diff
Guilty, managed to seize with them a
small dark object which lay at the bot
tom of the tank. With infinite precau-
tion he brought it to the surface. 1t
had the appearance of fattened lead
en- bullet.
"What is it?" inquired sprague.
"Sit down." answered Sturgis, in a
low, tense voice. II have just found

PRIVATE OFFICE.
NO ADMITTANCE.

One of the detectives tried this door
and found it locked. Whereupon he
placed his shoulder to it and prepared
to force it in.
"Wait a minute said sturgis; "let
me see if cannot open it,"
The detective stepped aside with a
quizzical expression upon his face
II guess you will find it pretty solid
for your weight" said he.
The reporter took from his pocket
piece of bent wire, and, with few
dexterous turns of the wrist, he shot
the bolt of the lock.
"You would make an expert cracks
man." said the detective. II didn't
know you possessed that accomplish
ment in addition to all your other
ones."
The four men entered the private
office. The room was quite dark, the
shutters being closed and the blinds
drawn. AS their eyes became accus-
toned to the obscurity they were able
to distinguish the outlines of a desk,
table, and few chairs.
Sturgis went .at once to a door in
the corner. With the aid of his skel-
eton key he had soon thrown this
open. After peering for an instant
into the darkness, he took from his
pocket candle, which he lighted.
Then, beckoning to his companions,
he started cautiously to descend. The
other men followed him and soon
found themselves in the cellar, which
they proceeded to search
On the street side there was recess
extending for a few feet under the
ara in front of the house. The open
ing above was covered by an iron graf
ing, over which was a wooden cover
securely fastened on the inside by
chain and paddock. A number of car
boys were carefully piled along the
east wall to within a few feet from
the rear of the building. Here, in the
northeast corner, rose narrow shelv-
ing, on which were arranged collec-
tion of bottles containing q varied as
sortment of chemicals. = I
The detectives searched the cellar.
"Our man is not here, at any rate"
said the leader, when at last he had re-
turned to the foot of the stairs; "per-
haps he'll try to give us the slip by
way of the roof. Come along, Jim;
let's go upstairs now. Hello! what are
you doing there, Mr.. Sturgis? Think

''None so blind as those that won't

At the same time he placed his hand
upon one of the shelves and gave it q
lateral push. It responded slightly,
