Griswold puzzled over it for mo-

Don't you? Well, I'll tell you. If

"Why should she?"

laughed Griffin. IF you can be Ned

"By Jove!" said Griswold, as one
incredulous; but little later, when
he got up to take his leave he
thanked the observant one.
Don't mention it," said Griffin.

the very irony of chance that some

making him miscall the month and
so give Griswold 30 days more Of res

grew hard; and then a slow smile
took the hardness out of them. He
turned away to climb the stair to the

THE LEG AS AN ORGAN.

mon lobster furnishes one of the best
possible illustrations of curious
principle that finds expression in the
organization of animals whose bodies,
ike ITS own, are composed of a sue
cesslou of segments with iointed ap-
pendages, or in other words, animals
belonging to the great sub-kingdom
of arthropoda. The principle in
question is that the paired append
ages of the different segments,
though all constructed upon the same
plan, may become so modified in
form as To be adapted to the dis
charge of the most diverse functions.
"One OF the strangest and most un-
expected of the uses To which we
could imagine leg as being pu. is
that Of an organ of hearing. Yet
such seems To be one at least of the
functions of the forelegs in the crick-

the outer side of the tibia small
oval space may be seen in which tho
strong armature which covers the

leg, are the ends of "A nerve, and il

CHAPTER XXUT.

1t was late in the afternoon Of one
of the matchless summer days when
Griffin became an involuntary Crusoe.
II was in the second week of the
strike and the fourth Of his soiourn
I'm WahaslSa, and being no nearer the
solution Of his problem than he was
on the day Of theory-framing when
he had made sure that Charlotte
Farnham's robber-loycr would in due
time make his appearance, he had
fallen into the way Of killing time
In a rowbuat on the lake. II was
weary work, this waiting for man
who might never turn up, and there
was limit 10 the satisfaction To be
gotten out of prying into the affairs

might read as he ran. So Griffin
took 10 the rowbnat aud the lake,
pulling aluw-ruces against time,

curiously. 81 thought you were a
newcomer" he said.
81 am; but / was here before the
strike began, and I've looked into it
a little-just for idle curiosity's sake,
you know. There's a good-sized mig
ger in the woodpile, and I've been
wondering if you and Raymer knew
about it,"
Griswold glanced around to make
sure that no one else was within
hearing. THE men were stirred up
to it, you mean?"
Griffin nodded.
"Raymer said as much, but ]
couldn't believe it,"
It's fact" said the detective
with the same air of assurance; "a
fact susceptible of proof"
Griswold came awake to the posi-
bilities in flash.
could you prove it?" he asked.
perhaps; if | wanted to.
The defender of the rights of man
puffed thoughtfully at the good ci-
gar for a moment. Then he said:
"Who are you, anyway, Mr.. Griflin|

than grimace. Perhaps l am the

81 know the boat" was Griswold's
rejoinder. And: II hope you are
not nervous"
Not at all; I've sailed little my
self"
"Good. Well get it decentiy fresh
when we are out in the open, but
We'll make it all right"
The prophecy was fulfilled in both
halves, but the detective held his
breath more than once before the
cat-boat had thrashed its way
through the perilous middle passage
of the open lake to the calmer water
in Wahaska bay. At the pier he
helped his rescuer make fast and
stow the sail, and they walked up
town together. At the hotel en-
trance Griffin introduced himself by
man whom he meant to bring to JUS
tice.
Il owe you one, Mr.. Griswold," he
said, at the hand-grasp, "and I'm
afraid | shall never be able to paw
it in kind"
Griswold laughed. "It is not very
heavy obligation. At the worst you
might have had an uncomfortable
night of it,"
perhaps it wouldn't have been any
worse than that. Well, maybe / can
save you an uncomfortable night
sometime. Won't you come in and
smoke a cigar?"
Griswold thought at first that he
would not, and then changed his
mind. He was invited to dinner at
DR.. Farnham's, but it was yet early.
Now there is nothing like good to-
bacco for speeding an acquaintance
between two men, and Griffin's single
extravaganza ran to fine brands of
cigars. So the chat in the hotel Of
flee went hither and yon, and finally
came down to the topic which was
at that moment engrossing the town
the strike at the iron works.
"They are n hard-headed lot of
fools" said Griswold, not without
warmth, when he came to speak of
the strikers. "They are just like
all the rest; they don't know when
they are well off. We meant to go
into the profit-sharing with them
next year, but the way they are act
ing now you would think that Ray
mer and | are their sworn enemies"
"Violence?" queried the detective.
"Threats of it; plenty of them"
"What will You do?"
eve haven't decided yet, but my
idea is to import what labor we need
and go on.
"That will be pretty sure to make
trouble, won't it?"
"Oh, | suppose so. But we've got
to fight it out sooner or later"
'No chance for a compromise, eh?"
Not in the least, now; in fact,
there never was any. Their demands
were most unreasonable"

THE CUES T.

Luck tapped upon a cottage door,
A gentle, quiet tap;
And LaZiness, who lounged within,
The cat upon his lap,
Stretched out his slippers TO the fire
And gave a sleepy yawn:
"Oh, bother! let him knock again"
lie said; but Luch was gone.
Luck tapped again, more family stili,
Upon another door,
Where Industry was hard at work
Mendirg his cottage floor.
The door was opened wide at once;
Come lnr the worker cried,
And Luck was taken by the hand
And fairly pulled inside.
He still is there-a wondrous guest
From out whose magic hand
Fortune flows fast-but Laziness
Can never understand
How Industry found such friend;
Luck never came my way!'
He sghs. and quite forgets the knock
Upon his door that day.

CHAPTER XXI.

81 tell you, Griswold, there is no
doubt about it; we have Jasper
Grierson to thank for every move in
this block game of ours. Every dol
lars worth of work that we have
lost has been taken away from us
by his orders; and when we shall
confe to the heart of this strike bust
ness we shall find out that he is at
the bottom of that"
The partners were closetcd in the
private office of the iron works, dis
cussing the discouraging outlook in
general and the ultimatum of the
workmen in particular, and thus far
Griswold had been unable to offer
any helpful suggestion.
81 don't like to believe that, Ned"
he protested. at is terrible charge
to bring against any man. Besides,
what motive could he have?"
The one motive he has for every
thing he does-greed. He meant to
swallow me whole when he lent me
the money for the enlargement of
the plant. You stepped in and
stopped that, and now he means to
swallow both of us"
Griswold shook his head. ct can't
conceive the hardness of it, Ned"
''If you should accuse him of hard
ness it would make him laugh in
your face. He would say it was
business. But that is nothing to
him. He is something more than a
driver on the Juggernaut-car of
business. He is a robber, out and
out, and one who sticks at nothing.
Have you heard of that deal he is
engineering with the old banker from
New Orleans?"
'What banller?"
"Old Andrew Galbraith, of the
Bayou State bank"
If Griswold did not turn pale at
the mention of Andrew GalbraiLh's
name it was because his face was al
ways colorless. Yet he forced him
self to ask the question:
81 haven't heard of it; what is it?'
"Grierson is about to stick the old
Scotchman for a cool million in the
Red lake pine lands. You know
what they're worth-or rather, how
utterly worthless they are"
"Oh, ! think you must be mistaken.
Ned. 1t would be sheer robbery"
81 am not mistallen; it came as
straight as a string. 1t is a family
matter and l ought not to mention
1t even to you. Young Blanton drew
up the papers and, as you may have
guessed before this, he and Gertfe
have no secrets from each other
The deal is all but closed"
Griswold went silent at that, sit
ting quiet for so long that Raymer
wondered little, and would have
wondered a great deal if he could
have known what a lions net of re.
sponsibility his bit of information
had flung over the silent one.
Truly, of all men living, Kenneth
Griswold should have been the last
to feel any conscientious promptings
toward the saving of the man whom
he himself had robbed; and yet the
promptings were there, full-growr
and insistent. lie was still wrestling
with them when the noon whistle OF
the iron works Jared sonorously
upon the air, and Raymer got up and
walked to the window commanding
view of the gates. And it was
Raymcr's voice that broke his rev.
erie.
ut has come" said the ironmaster;
and Griswold quickly joined him al
the window.
The men were filing soberly out
at the great gates with their dinner
pals and other belongings. Tn,
strike was on.
