questions Of the attorney
Shortly after the afternoon session

AT the close of the first installment

price over his head and forced him to
do his will. took this view Of the
question for several days, upholding
my master and reviling the doctor, at
tributing all sorts of evil things to
him. Certainly he was as great a
criminal as Mr.. Goddard, and if one
was ever caught in the act of robbery
the other would have to be implicated.
l felt that the doctor was accepting
the easy part of the job, staying home
to receive the stolen goods while my
master ran the risk Of capture and
even of being killed.
In the event of the latter's arrest l
knew that DR.. Squires would suddenly
leave the neighborhood, and my mas
ter would be left to suffer the penal
ties of their mutual crime. Incidental
ly l decided to prevent any such un-
just punishment by being on hand
when the doctor found the place too
hot for him. I knew enough about
their partnership to have him SEN
fenced to the state prison for good
long term.
My old hatred of the doctor returned
with double force. l had more tangible
reason for dislilling him now than
wien first suspected him of attempts
to Kill my master with poisons. My
suspicious that he was not all above
board in his lorely life in the haunted
mansion were now confirmed. l would
make it point to investigate the prem
ises in spite of all opposition.

volver tightly, determined to make a

A moment later nE feelings were
considerably relieved. The steps ap-
preached nearer and nearer soft,
stealthy, delicate steps that might have
been made by child. Then the figure
of q man koomed up within three yards
cf ne and moved swiftly toward the
house.
But in that momentary glimpse
caught the features of my master. In
his hands he carried a clumsy bundle
or article which failed to make out.
Then for the first time the shadow on
the porch moved. The two met at the
top of the steps and quickly disap-
peared in the house, the door closing
noisalessy behind them.
l would have given much just then
to have had the power to penetrate
behind those wooden walls or to have
raised the shades and looked into the
doctors office. where l knew that a
light must be burning. But felt that
my quest was ended for the night and
that further work would be useless.
After waiting around another half
hour l quietly stole out of the yard
and hurried home to reflect over the
strange occurrences of the night.

Washington, March IL Senator
Morgan secured the first material con-
cession that has been made to him
by the senate in connection with the
Panama canal treaty with Colombia.
This consists OF an agreement to at

the treaty. This change was made in
compliance with request presented
by Senator Lodge during the eXecu-
tive session of the senate after the
necessity for it had been discussed by
Mr.. Morgan and other members of the
senate committee. 1t was specifically
stipulated. however, that this conces-
sion did not amount to an amendment
of the treaty. Senator Morgan con-
sumed the entire time of the remain
der of the closed session. discussing
the canal question from various points
of view. Most of his speech was
written and when Senator Cullom
asked him if the speech he was read.
ing was new one or an old one, he
replied with some manifestation Of
vexation that it was new, adding that
he did not have to repeat his adj
dresses. He discussed particularly
the attitude of the isthmian canal
commission OF which Admiral Walker
is the head. and criticised to some ez-
tent the change of view taken by
that commission in its last report.
