But before the white teeth could
close upon me I saw a flash Of some
thing over the hounds head; it seemed
to my dazed mind like a fork of light

senses

BUT, then. he had saved my lite once,
and he undoubtedly knew human ma
ture well enough to satisfy himself
that there was no danger of my be-
traying him. He had in reality made
coup detat in rescuing me from the
fangs of the savage Dane the night be-
fore. He could easily have stood aside
and let the hound finish me, placing
me beyond all possibility of ever after
ward annoying him, but his interfer-
ence, coupled with my sudden change
of position which brought me daily In
to closer contact with him, convinced
me that he wanted to use me for some
purpose. Either he had some object
to attain through me or he wished to
make me his confederate in order to
dispose of the goods he must have col
lected, for / had no doubt that the Sc
ries of robberies In the neighborhood
had been committed by him.

ture developments with considerable
interest.

eyes. SO intent was that forgot to
be confused at my mishap. The Incl
dent occupied only minute, but in
that short space had read the char
acter of the man.
What sort of servants do you have
here, Charles?' he broke out savagely
when the dressing filtered down from
his coat sleeve to the floor.
My master looked annoyed and quick
ly apologized.
He is new man, doctor, and you
must overlook this accident"
The conversation flowed on freely
after that, and the mishap was soon
forgotten.
When the wine and cigars We're
brought, they retired to an open bal
cony just off the dining room. Through
the open window l could still hear
their talk. Most of it was of little
consequence to me, but finally the
words of the doctor made me prick up
my ears.
"By the way, Charles, you spoke of q
friend of yours having couple of
Dane hounds for sale. Can secure
them for a nominal price?"
Eyes, l can get them and make you
a present of them. But why do you
want two more? You have two of the
finest Danes ever saw"
"No, l haven't any
Haven't any" calculated both my
master and Miss Stetson.
mo; they are both dead" replied the
doctor slowly.
"Why, how is that? What killed
them?'
"They simply died. My man over
fed them, imagine, and they both
died yesterday of convulsions.'
"How strange"
"No, not strange at all. told my
man that he would kill them if he fed
them too freely while they got no ex-
crcise.'
You don't think he poisoned them?"
asked Miss Stetson.
"NO, certainly not. attended them
when they We're sick and cut open their
bodies afterward. There was no sign
of poison il their stomachs."
Then lie made arrangements with my
master to secure the two hounds from
his friend.
l did not listen to the descriptions of
the new hounds OF TO the terms Of the
agreement. My mind was more con-
cerned about the doctor's reason for
concealing the attca: pted robbery of

he not report the facts of the case to

wondered which she would select in
the end-the black or the white?
Promptly at . they returned, little
fatigued by the ride, but jovial and in
excellent spirits.
When the doctor came into the dining
room, scrutinized him carefully. He
gave me no particular notice, and this
left me to myself to examine him My
distant view through the fieldglasses
had been pretty correct, but on closer
examination he revealed the most dis
tinct features of his face-his coal
black, brilliant and restless eyes. These
eyes never laughed, not even when he
was convulsed with merriment. They
were always cold, penetrating and, as l
thought, sardonic. They seemed to
repel and fascinate at once. They cas-
lily dominated everything that came
under their sway.
He was talkative and lively to de-
gree, forming the life of the lnrty, but
the eyes that so attracted seldom took
notice Of me. An uncomfortable desire
to have them conferred on me for an in
slant to fathom their meaning seized
me. To accomplish this spilled some
of the salad dressing on his coat sleeve.
He turned wrathful look at me, and
had one long. steady gaze into those

and it was satisfaction to look at all
this wealth even though had no right
in any of it. The curious circumstance
over SO much treasure amused me and
induced speculations in my mind about
the uncertainties and Inconsistencies
of life. a man of my profession must
of necessity be something of Il philos
opher. How else could he accept the
continual risk of capture and convic-
ton and silence all qualms of fear and
conscience when engaged on delicate
and dangerous jobs: There are ups
and downs In every life, l suppose, but
none more SO than In that of the pro-
fessional burglar.
The second day of my installation as
butler in the house was marked by an
interesting event. DR.. Squires and
Miss Stetson both appeared at lunch.
This meeting was not premeditated
by my master. 1t was apparently
purely accidental.
About noon the two visitors appeared
at the house on horseback. My mas
ter did not see them at first. He was
smoking in his dressing room when
the clatter of horses hoofs on the hard,
gravelly drive attracted his attention.

time, removing the remnants of late
breakfast.
who's that coming, William?" he
asked.
1 was near the window and, looking
out, replied:
Miss Stetson, sir, and think the
man they call DR.. Squires. I've never
met him, but from what John said 1
Judge it is"-
A sudden exclamation from my mas
ter interrupted me, and I turned in
time to see his face deathly pale. He
recovered himself Immediately, how
ever.

Then with admirable composure and
with great tact he said:
ooh, yes; forgot to tell you, Will
Liam, that they We're coming here to
them at 81
Then he hurriedly changed his coat
and appeared in the courtyard in time

doors could hear their voices.
"How do you do, Charles? Ready
Tor early visitors? didn't believe you
were up YETI"
1t was the loud, gruff voice of the
doctor. Then feminine voice said
apologetically, thought:
"Good morning, Cnarles. 1 was OUT
riding this morning with my man, and
we met DR.. Squires. He insisted that
we should come around here. So I
consented provided he would promise
to make you go off for a ride with us"
Eyes, that was the agreement, and to
make my word good you must get
ready and 60"
well, hadn't thought of going out
this morning, but l will accompany
you if you will both agree to come
back here and take lunch"
That's the man Of business
laughed the doctor. HE e-.lcts fec
for everything he gives. He won't even
ride with us, Miss Belle, unless we
swear to return and lunch with him.
Well, as for my part / agree to it, for

could not hear the replies as they
moved into the parlor, but l knew
enough to convince me that my master
was very sensitive about his Jealousy
Of the doctor, and that not even to me
would he admit it.
A few minutes later saw them
going off together, Miss Stetson riding
a fine roam, with the doctor mounted
