when he awoke and reviewed the
events Of the day before.
What he had to do he must do
quickly, for 1t seemed that he was
not altogether safe himself, and he
felt that he could not trust Ellison.
"Once he is free" referring to tho
school teacher, land the young peo-
matters with that old rascal,
shall go back to my old home with q
smiling face" he said to himself, as
he made his scanty toilet. Thinking
over plans for the future made him
alternately merry and sad, but the
controlling feeling seemed to be one
Of satisfaction.
UP his mind that he would try and
find out how Dick had Jared since
his experience of the night before,
and whether they had taken any
precautions against his repeating his
nocturnal ramble.
He approached the building from
the back, concealing himself behind
the bushes that had sheltered him
on his last visit. He had a good view
was confined, and noted that the
window was now protected with new
iron bars, instead Of the aimsy ones
that had been there formerly.
AS Job watched, an utter stranger
to him appeared at the window and
peered out. Though he stood there
for an hour. or more, he did not see
the young school teacher and at last
turned away. believing that he must
have been removed to some safer se-
clusion.
That prank of his may cost him
dear, in the loss of privileges that
he enjoyed before" feeling disap-
pointed in his visit. well. guess
he thinks it paid. 1t will brace him
up-that stolen visitor all that he
may have gone through"
Approaching the front of the con-
stables house, he found a venerable
man whiting q stick on the steps
q gaunt parsonage, whose garments
seemed to have partaken of the
| earthly color Of the land in which he
worked
AS Job came up, the aged loafer
eXpectorated with deadly precision
said, without waiting for the other to
begin:
"Ef yer waitin' to see Blivens. he

Indeed"

Rather sudden, wasn't it?" asked
Hendricks.
Wal. rayther," with a hoarse
chuckle. I'VE see. the young caty-
mount got SO obstrepulous that Their
want no lseepin him in place like
this. and SO Sin-thats my son-he
! jest thought he'd get shed of him by
! putin him away in the county Jail,
where he'd be safe. Stranger In these
parts, take it?" looking Job over from
head to foot.
Yes; stranger I'm much obliged
to you," and then moved off, to the
evident disgust of the patriarch, who
was minded to get some amusement
out of the stranger, as travellers were
a scarce variety In that peaceful farm
ing neighborhood.
Job. deep in thought, had mechan-
ically pursued his way in the direction
of James Ellison's estate. and he did
not apparently think about where he
was until the big lions by the gate
| doomed up before him.
He stood for a moment cogitating
what to do, and then entered the
i smooth carriageway leading to the
/ house.

CHAPTER /,
JUST A PIECE OF PAPER.

Job Hendricks passed an uneasy
night, for he constantly was haunt
ed by the belief that there was some
one In the corridor moving back and
forth, and occasionally paused to
take look at him as he lay there
In the moonlight.
Once or twice he had risen and
gone to the door to peer out, but
found no one, and then stunbIed
back into bed. blaming himself for an
old fool to be in such a constant
state Of fear over nothing.
Finally he fell asleep from sheer
on and the sun was high
