CHAPTER III.
The Crimson Hind.

David walked swiftly along his mind
in perfect whirl. Now that once he
had started, he was eager to see the
but stranger things had happened.
More than one correspondent with
queer persnal experiences had taught
him that. Nor was Steel in the least
afraid. He was horribly frightened at
disgrace or humiliation, but physical
was he not going to save his home and
good name?
David had not the least doubt on the
latter score. or course he would DO
nothing wrong, nor would he keep the
money. This he preferred to regard as
loan-a loan 70 be paid off before
long. AT any rate, money or no money,
he would have been sorry to have
abandoned the adventure now.
His spirits rose rs he walked along: a
great weight had fallen from his shout
ders. He smiled as he thought of his
mother, peacefully sleeping at home.
What would his mother think II she
knew? But, then, nobody was to know.
That had been expressly settled In the
bond.
Save for an occasional policeman, the
streets were deserted. 1t was a little
cold and raw for the time of year. and
q fog like pink bla nket, was creeping
In from the sea. Down in the Steine
the big arc lights cleaned here and
there like nebulous blue globes; IL was
| hardly possible to see across the road
| In the half-shadcw behind Steel the
statue Of the First Gentleman in Eu-
rope glowed gigantic, ghost-like in the
| mist.
IL was marvellously still there so still
that David could hear the tinkle Of the
| lebbles on lhe beach. He stood back
by the gate of the gardens watching the
play of the leaf silhouettes on the
pavement, quaint patterns of fantastic
| designs thrown up in high relief by the
arc-light above, From the dark, foggy
| throat of st. James street came the
| tnkle OF a cycle bell. On 50 still a
night the noise seemed bizarre and out
! of place. Then the cycle doomed in
| sight; the rider muff,ed and bumped

| ing dropped into the road, and the SIN
I gle word, "Come" seemed to cut like a
knife through the fog. That was ALL
The rider had looked neither to the
| right nor to the left, but the words
were distinctly uttered. At the same
| instant an arm dropped and a long fin
| ger pointed TO a cleaning white square
| in the road. II was like an instantane-
! Gus Photographic flash. and the figure
! had vanished in the fog.
This grows Interesting" steel NUT
tered. Evidently my shadowy friend
has dropped book OF rules in the road

It was only plain white card that
lay In the road. A few lines were typed
on the back OF 1t. The words might

will yield to you: there Is no occasion
to knock. The first door inside the hall
leads into the dining room. Walk into
there and wait. Drop this card down
the gutter just opposite you"
David read the directions once or
twice carefully. He made a mental note
OF 2ls After that he dropped the card
down the drain trap nearest at hand.
A little way ahead OF him he heard the
cycle bell uilling. as II in approval OF
his action. But David had made up his
mind to observe every rule OF the game.
Besides, he might be rigidly watched.
The spirit OF adventure was growing
upon Steel now. He was no longer hold
ing the solid result before his eyes. He
was ready TO see the thing through for
Its own sake. And. as he hurried up
North street along Western road. and,
finally. down Preston street. he could
hear the purring tinkle of the cycle bell
before him. But not once did he catch
sight OF the shadowy rider.
All the same, his heart was beating
little faster as he turned into Bruins
wick Square. All the houses were In
pitchy darkness. as they naturally
would be at o'clock in the morning so
II was only with great difficulty that
Steel could make out a number here
and there. As ne walked, slowly and
hesitatlngly, along. the cycle bell rung
impatiently ahead of him.
"A hint to me-" David muttered.
Stupid that I should have forgotten the
directions to read the number over the
fanlight. Also. 1t is logical to suppose
that / am going to find lights at No.
2lS. All right. my friend; no need TO
swear at me with that bell of yours"

The French minister Of finance has
lust issued an official statement show
ing that the quantity Of wine consumed
In France in 1891 was 9s5,e42, $50 gallons
as against 7ss. 6si, 1852 gallons in 1900 or
the enormous increase of 166 900 900 gal
Ions-over 81 per cent. This increase
is. no doubt. partly due to the abundant
vintage of 100, with the consequent fan
in prices, but the chief factor has been
in the abolition or reduction of duties
that took place under the law Of De-
cember 20. 1900, by which taxes on wine
and beer are equalized. The figures
above quoted indicate an annual con-
sumption Of wine for the whole popula-
ton of France of lat bottles per head as
compared with 121 bottles per head on
the previous year-an increase of TWEEN
ty-six bottles per head. In the United
Kingdom the entire annual consump-
ton of wine is less than three bottles
per head.-London Times
