speak SO boldly"
"That may all be mere bravado."
"And he would take no money!
"That is a poser. Didn't want any
money!"
"Not a cent, even when it was Of
fered to him."
'That astonishes me-what can the
fellows object be?''
"I'm afraid we shall have to wait
and find out" muttered the man with
his back to the window.
"And he made no declaration of
what he intended to do?" asked the
lawyer, after a moments pause.
"No, nothing of the kind, except
that he seems to be interested in the
young school-teacher."
"Know him?"
"Says he never saw him but once
in his life, but he wants him to be
free for some reason Or another.
Urged Jim to do all he could, and
threatened things if he did not"
''That man, whoever he is, will bear
watching" was Henslow's comment
as he resorted to his glass again.
A chuckle came from the chair
where the other was seated.
"Bless you, we don't intend to lose
sight of the chap while he is in the
neighborhood."
Job clinging to the window, still
smiled quietly to himself.
"Then I wasn't wrong in thinking
that 7 was being watched"
He had no chance to hear any
thing further of what was being said
in the room, for the visitor had
risen and now moved to the door.
The two men stood there for a mo-
ment in deep conversation, but
though he listened intently, Job
could not catch a word of what was
being said.
He dropped to the ground from his
uncomfortable position, for he was
anxious if possible to catch sight
of the visitor when he came out.
With this intention he slipped
around to the front of the house and
in the shadow waited.
Presently the door opened quietly,
man popped out, his hat pulled
down over his eyes so that the eager
watcher had no opportunity to get a
good glimpse of his face. Then the
man stepped into the middle of the
road, looked about him for mo-
,nent, and set off at brisk pace
down the street.

her toward him and kissed her.
There's nothing ghostly about

ing as If the shadows OF she bars had
never separated them.
"Come, you don't seem glad to see
mel" as she did not speak.
"Glad? That is faint word to
use. But it all seems SO strange that
you should be here"
"Strange, but true"
"Then they have set you free ?''
eagerly.
"No such luck. I freed myself.

around wonderingly; then said: "But

Job Hendricks had taken advantage
of the meeting to slip away in the
dark.
