'All / wanted to, tell you-and you are
the first to hear of It's the, to me,
rather important fact that l am en-
gagged to be married"
You a1e?" exclaimed Sturgis, with
genuine pleasure. Il congratulate you,
old fellow, from the bottom of my
heart"
He seized the artists hand and shook
it in his hearty grasp.
"To the original of the picture you
wanted to show me yesterday" he
asked.
YES"
"Then she was not betrothed to the
other fellow, after ALP"
'No; that seems to have been a mis-
take
Il am glad of that. very glad" said
the reporter. "By the way, you have
not yet tod me the young lady's
name"
81 thought l had mentioned it yes
terday morning. Didn't l? No? My
fiancee is Miss Murdock."
At the sound of this name Sturgis
started visibly, and shadow crossed
his features.
Miss Murdoch? ?'' he echoed
"Yes." said Sprague. What is it?
You do not seem pleased"
Then, as sudden thought struck
him:
Il hope l am not treading on your
toes, old fellow" he said, putting his
hand gently upon his friends shoul-
der and trying to read his thought in
his clear gray eyes. "But how absurd!
Of course you cannot be rival for
Miss Murdock's affections, since you
do not even know her"
"No," laughed Sturgis, regaining his
composure, 81 am not your rival. As to
the other point, while l can hardly
claim an acquaintance with the young
lady, think l saw her not more than
a couple of hours ago"
"a couple of hours ago!" exclaimed
Sprague; why, was with her myself
then"
Il know that now, although 1 was
not aware of it at the time
What. were you at the Murdocks' at
the same time as l was?" asked
Sprague, surprised.
81 had just come from there when
I met you. l was in Murdock's study

I'm Murdocl1's study? How long
were you there?"
"About half an hour, I should judge"

replied Sturgis, land perhaps IS min
u:es more in the hall, while Murdoch
was engaged"
Il suppose Chatham was still with
him?' unused Sprague.
Sturgis started at the name.
"Chatham!" he calculated; what do
you know about Chatham?"
What, are you interested in Chat
ham?" asked the artist, curiously. Il
know very little about him, only that
he is one of my disappointed rivals"
And he thereupon related to the re-
porter what he knew of Chatham's
suit.
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 a sudden
exclamation, and, waking over to the
side of the tank, he looked into the
depths of its oily contents, as if fas-
cinated by some horrible thing he saw
there.
Sprague came and stood beside him
and gazed curiouxly into the viscous
liquid. There was nothing there that
he could see.
What is ii ?" he asked.
Without replying. Sturgis took from
his pocket bone-handled knife and
carefully dippeG 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.
81 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 il
in search of something.
"Hand me a 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 6
small dark object which lay at the bot
tom of the tank. With infinite precau
tion he brought it to the surface. II
had the appearance of a f1attened lead
en- bullet.
"What is it ?" inquired Sprague.
'Sit down." answered Sturgis, in {
low, tense voice. 81 have just found
the last link which completes my chair
of evidence; l am now prepared to tel
you such a story as you will scarcely
credit, even with the absolute proofs
before your eyes,"

"That will do" observed Sturgis
presently; 1.-The Old woman is coming
as fast as she can"
"What old woman?" asked the de-
tective.

have said an old woman. l 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
can say"
''She is on the second fight" replied
the reporter, quietly. Now she is in
the second-story hall-and now you
can surely hear her coming down the
last fight"
By this 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 cid Irish woman.

''Mister who, is it?"
Thomas Chatham. Show me the way
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, we've come
to the wrong house to see him, do be
thinkin', fer he don't live here"
"Come, that won't do" said the de-
tective, sharply; 1--WE belong to the po-
house."
At the mention of the police, the old
hag's parchment face became a shade
yellower and her eyes glistened.

after a short intervals; "but yez can

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

the upper part of the building; on the
left, a door opening into the office of

was evident. | sounded the back of the
shelving and found that il covered all

that remained was to notice that one
of the shelves was slightly soiled in
just one spot, as though by the re-

to this board. And it was. That is all
AS he spoke, the reporter entered a
dark and narrow passage.
Don't shut the door," sald he 20 his
companion, who followed him.
At that moment, however, the artist
stumbled; and, instinctiv.ly holding
out his hands to save himself from fall
ing. he released his hold OF the door,
which closed with a slam.
THAT is unfortunate" said Sturgis;
1--WE may have to lose some time IN
learning how to work the bolt from

to keep open line of retreat. in case

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 a door
above. The room was surmounted by
skylight, which was wide open. admit
ting draught of cold air from the
outside.
Sturgs 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-,ined tank, filled to the depth of
about two feet with a 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
speaking tube, and by set of shelves
filled with TASKS, crucibles, alembics
and the other paraphernalia of a chem

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:

to ask, "did you bring me here, armed
to the teeth, to see you go off into a

Sprague, somewhat offended at his
friends apparent indifference to what
he had to say.

gis, with a conciliatory smile; you
said you had news to tell me. Well, tell

"What a strange fellow you are. Stur-

"UNDER THE SUM-"

The men that have gone before US
Have sung the songs we sing;
The words of our ciamorouS chorus,
They were heard of the ancient king.
The chords of the Tyre that thrill u.s.
They were struck iR the years gone by
And the arrows of death that kill us
Are found where our fathers lie.
The vanity sung of the Preacher
Is vanity still to-day;
The moan of the stricken creature
Has rung in the woods alway.
But the songs are worth resinging
With the change of no single note,
And the sDcken words are ringing
AS they rang in the years remote.
There is no new road to follow. Lovei
Nor need there ever be.
For the old with its hill and hollow,
Lovei
Is enough for you and me.
