The side room was eminently salts
factory. 1t was exactly the kind of a
room that Mr.. Emley had often, with
pangs of envy, seen other men sleep
in. To sleep in one himself had seemed
an impossible dream, but IL was fast
assuming a reality, common sure
ness, that charmed him.
Would you like something to eat,
sir?" suggested the servant.
II am hungry, and ah-ah-"
"Jenkinson, sir"
Thanks. If you have something to
drink, Jenkinson? 1t is trifie raw out
doors. And-by the way, has there any
mail come for me lately?"
This was an excellent stroke of di-
plomacy on Mr.. Enjoys part. He was
anxious to know who he was. The ad-
dress on the envelope would tell him.
"A letter came a week ago, sir, but
we forwarded IL Immediately to Paris
II must have missed it. How was
it addressed?'
"Just f. 1. Smith, The Grange, Cir

vertisement."
Probably. II take the lunch here.
And perhaps something hot-oysters,
now?"
''Yes. sir. Twill be ready in a few
minutes sir"
The servant departed and Mr.. Emley
gazed about with a fast swelling air
of pompousness.

When the luncheon was finished and

that burglars are very daring in this

BY noon the next day the whilom
master had in a large degree overcome
the strangeness of his situation. He no

impulse to gather to his bosom all the
fit through the nearest window. But
it was still a novelty to step out of the
front door in full sight of the servants

of drawing a revolver or taking to his
heels. IT was a delight to his artistic

That such was the case there was
TO room to doubt. Until the horrid
sounds of massacre had died gradually
away, and been succeeded by a silence
that was only partly reassuring, Loo
Lao and her companies listened anx-
iously. They had stopped beneath the
portico of an empty shop.

Leaving their place of shelter, the
three set forth again. The ominous ST.
lence continued, broken by occasional
faint sounds, as they made one turn
after another, steering their course by
the fiame-glow on the southeast hori-
zon. They were drawing near to a
cross-street, which they believed would
lead them to the immediate vicinity
of the temple, when they heard rapid
footsteps, and almost as quickly saw
dark figure start up in front of them.
There was light enough to reveal the
mans Boxer uniform and the lance
that he carried on his shoulder.

pected bloody encounter, waited for

scarcely credit the evidence of their

saw Alec and the Boxer clasp each

He asked her to dance, and was
charmed with her conversation and
manner. They danced together several
times as was noticed, and remarked
upon by the eagle-eyed matrons. Miss
Lormers dancing was beyond criticism
and she had an artless way of accom-.
panying her statements with an APP

money-or, that is, ran up bills. Alto
gether, his path was one of roses, and
he went on his way rejoicing.
1t was at a ball that he met the wo-
man in the case. Two of the precious
four weeks had flown by on swift
wings, and festivities were at their
hight. Mr.. Smith had flung himself
into the new life with all of the pent-
up energy of his strong nature. 1t was
his first taste of this kind of social
pleasures, and there must have been
a hidden strain of refinement in his UNI
known parentage, for he easily adapt
ed himself to his new surroundings.
And 1t was no wonder that under the
smile of Fortune he forgot he was
wanted by the police of almost every
large city in the country and walked
through the ball room with head held
proudly erect.

did the introducing. How strange you
did not meet her over there, Mr..
Smith"

town, you know" said Mr.. Smith.

Lormer. looking up with earnest eyes.
She was a sweet, pretty little creature,
