BECOME A PAVEMENT ARTIST
 As the council was to meet again in seven days, the probabilities were that Number Two would take no further action until he had had an opportunity of consulting his colleagues.
 But | knew him to be 8 consequent tial parsonage, ever ready to act on his own responsibility: and what was more likely than that so ambitious a man should go further than his in- structions, and seek to strengthen his position as candidate for the chieftainship by some master stroke which would confound and astonish his colleagues? If at the forthcoming meeting he could inform the council that not only had Yhe performed the task entrusted to him. and had ob- tained possession of the dynamite, but that he had actually put the explosive to the use for which 1t was intended. and had blown up the house of the of lending nobleman, his zeal in tho cause could not fail to win the com mendation of the executive.
 In view of such a contingency. I deemed it wise to keep an unwinking watch upon the condemned house; and did not think could better effect my purpose than by buying out the bus mess, goodwill and stock-in-trade, of pavement artist" who had installed himself not far from Lord Cranth orpe's residence, but on the other side of the way. Plantagenet Square consisted of a circular space, laid out in grass plots and gravel paths, and bordered by trees and shrubs. The whole was framed in by four rows of solidly built, but ex- ceedingly English looking and ugly houses, which constituted the Square" the central enclosure being surrounded by high iron railings, that had broad pavement running around them. Here 1t was that the artist in question, by dint of much chalxing and finger smearing, had succeeded in producing Q highly-finished picture of a purple faced and apoplectfc-looking person in widows weeds, which bore the loyal and not unnecessary legend, God save the Queen" Much as this portrait of Her Majesty was admired by patriotic passers, the most critical were of the opinion that, as likeness, 1t was not quite up to the level of a portrait of mackerel, which formed the companion picture.

CHAPTER VII.

HOW CAUSED A HORSE TO RUN AWAY AND THEN RAN AWAY MY SELF.
 My first business after leaving the wagon next morning was to regain possession or the uead mans Dag, which I was disappointed to find con- tained nothing more important than a false beard then took the train to London, and after hurriedly changing my clothes at my chambers, I made my way to No. ss. Fassett Square, Dals- ton, the house where the dynamite was concealed.
 As turned the corner of the square, brewers dray drew up at No S9, and man wearing red cap and an apron of brown saclking jumped down and knocked at the door. It was opened by another man at the moment I was passing. Both looked curiously at me, and then the driver of the dray said, in what thought was an unnecessarily loud voice
 ''l've called for the empty barrel, and to know if you have any orders for our firm.''
 Had I not heard his voice I should 4 LAW &0CS1E0 I4ksL AO WcS5 Councillor Number Two, and that the asking for sorders' and mention of calling for the empty barrel" was a mere blind with which to deceive the casual passer-by. The man inside the house was, had little doubt, Council Tor Number Three How he had ef- fected an entrance I did not know, Sut this driving up in open daylight of q brewers van in which to take away what was apparently an empty barrel vas piece of "bluff," which, if only Dy virtue Of it's very impudence, might we'll have been carried through to a successful issue.
 "Oh. yes. that'll be all right" said the man who had opened the door. You'd better come down into the cell lar and fetch It.
 No one happened just then to be ap- preaching. so the instant the door was closed upon this precious pair of scoundrels. struck the horse that was harnessed to the dray under the belly with my stick. making at the same time that peculiar clucking sound which signifies in the language cur rent between horse and man "Go on.' As had intended, the animal plunged,

MUSIC BOXES.
More Sold Than Ever Despite the
 Monographs Competition.

fnonograpnS Competition.
 Now, you'd tnink,n said the man in the music store, 'that photographs and gramaphones and mechanical piano players had cut into the music box business. They haven't; on the con- trary, there are more music boxes man. ufactured now than ten or fifteen years ago when the photograph was only wonderful new invention which no one could use and the new mechan- ical piano player was never thought of.
 "There has been only one change. We don't sell So many of the big, ex- pensive boxes as they used to. There was time about fifteen or twenty years ago, when they were costing as high as $1,500 or $2,000. Those boxes were as big as a piano. They had all kinds of arrangements of bells and drums anl string effects. Some Of them were combined with mechanical toys. For instance, there would be line of little drummers to ring the bells and they'd wriggle their heads in lifelike manner as they wriggled their drumsticks. The makers were trying to get as near the effect of full or chestra as they could by mechanical means.
 .sWhen the phonograph was made practical, some six or seven years ago, it knocked the pins out from under these makers. The photograph could reproduce n whole orchestra of sixty or more pieces, and the music box was nowhere in the game. The makers gave it up. Nowadays about $4O0 Is the limit price.
 s'The demand for ordinary boxes costing up to $150 has kept up stead fly and even gradually increased. l suppose that the phonograph got peo- pie into the habit of using mechanical music makers.
 "Music boxes are now made on the disc plan. A whirling disc catches the teeth in little holes punched in the sur face. The tone is not so good as in the cylinder boxes, but the discs cost only 50 or 75 cents The best boxes are still made on the cylinder plan.
 "1Although there are factories in New York and New Jersey, by far the great, CT part of the worlds supply comes from Switzerland They are called Ge- neva boxes, because that town is on the line of tourist travel, but they are mostly manufactured i'll St CroiX back l in the mountains.
 ..The Swiss make the best, and the poorest boxes, too. They make the very high priced ones, and also those cheap little half dollar affairs which l are given to children to smash at Christmas The American boxes run through the middle grades

 Once they were gone began to ex- plore the house from the top down. wards. Tn a cupboard of the front bedroom I found packet of plans and papers, which commenced to overhaul. Some of them puzzled me not little, so much so that must have spent more time boring over them than was aware of, for the two conspirators had not been gone very long before I heard a latchkey turn in the lock downstairs.
