When they reached the house the
elder lady gave little sigh and fell
back upon her usual solace in times Of
anxiety.
Il think we shall both feel better"
she chirped, as she carefully opened
the front door with her latch-key,
"when we've had a cup OF tea"
1t was about a couple of hours after
the termination of the scene between
Jem Sffckels and the two ladies. and
the clock of the tower of st. Martins
ct Stroan had just chimed n quarter
past eight. when a small boy burst
into the bar parlor OF the Bell Inn.
and startned the company by the
scared expression OF his face. He lad
been running fast. and 1t was some
moments before he could a-ticulate.
In the meantime the questions put to
him were so many that the confusion
of tongues delayed the lads announce
ment still further.
II was Hemmin.. the London de-
.ective, who finally drew the boy out
of the curious group and made them
wait for him TO speak.
With another scared look the lad at
last painted out:
There's a man lynn out there on
the road-the Courtstairs read, 4 little
way past the big house. An see him
iayin'-an' I speaks to imam he
didn't answer. an he didn't move.
An'-an'-an' so run right away. an

1t seemed pretty evident that the
boy had not said all he knew or
guessed. There was a rush for the
door by the occupants of the bar par.
| lor, and in a few moments there was
q stream OF people trickling out In the
| darkness along the little quay by the
little river, past the barges waiting to
be unloaded. past the ancient stone
! gateway of Streams prosperous days.
Over the brand-new bridge they went,
| i'm twos and threes, and out upon the
| fat road over the marshes. taking as
| their rightful leader the detective
Hcmming. who, being afraid that the
| frightened boy might give him the slip
! held his arm as IL in kindly comrade-

Hemmirg's nearest followers held a
| lantern, which threw n ray OF dancing
light to right and left upon the white
road, the ditch on either side. the wide
stretch of marsh to the left. and the
dull line of the sea far away on the
right.
Just past the "big house" lonely
mansion standing in fat. wind-swept
grounds between Stroan and the sea,
they came upon the man. lying. as the
| boy had described. by the side Of the
road, with his head hanging over on
the grassy bank that sloped into the
ditch.
"There-there he Is" whispered the
boy, hoarsely.

who was general manager Of the Car

The story is that Capt. Jones at that
time needed the services OF an expert

of the draughting department for .

Capt. Jones went away.The next day
an order was issued that to complete q

draughtsmen should work two hours

without pay. All Of the draughtsmen
grumbled except one man. Capt Jones

From that day the young draughts-

From what we can gather there is
q feeling Of hopefulness among State
Department officials in regard 10 the
chances for saving the life Of the mis-
