for the coming Of the thirsty beast OF
prey. What savage creature was it
which might steal upon us out Of the
darkness? Was it fierce tiger Of
crime. which could only be taken fight
ing hard with flashing fang and claw,
or would it prove to be some skulking
jackal, dangerous only to the weak and
unguarded2
In absolute silence we crouehed
among the bushes, waiting for what
ever might come At first the steps
of few belated villagers or the sound
of voices from the village lightened our
vigil. but one by one these Interruptions
died away and an absolute stiffness fell
upon us, save for the chimes Of the dis
tant church, which told us Of the prog
ress of the night, and for the rustic and
whisper Of a fine rain falling amid the
foliage which rooted US in.
Half past had chimed. and it was
the darkest hour which precedes the
dawn, when we all started as low
but sharp click came from the direction
of the gate. Some one had entered the
drive Again there was long silence,
and had begun to fear that 1t was
false alarm, when a stealthy step was
heard upon the other side of the hut,
and u moment later a metallic scraping
and clinking TIE man was trying to
force the lock- This time his skill was
greater or his tool was better, for there
was q sudden snap and the creak OF
the hinges. Then q match was struck.
and next instant the steady light from

Through the gauze curtain our eyes
were all rivcted upon the scene within
The nocturnal visitor was a young
man, frafl and thin. with a black mus.
tache, which Intensified the deadly
pallor Of his face. He could not have
been much above twenty years OF age.

who appeared to be in such a pitiable
fright, for his teeth were visibly chat
tering, and he was shaking In every
limb. He was dressed like a gentle

the corners. He returned with large
book, one of the logbooks which form

the table, lie rapidly turned over the
leaves OF this volume until he came to
the entry which he sought. Then, with
an angry gesture of his clinched hand,
he closed the book, replaced it in the
corner and put out the light. He had
hardly turned to leave the hut when
Hopkins hand was on the fellows col
lar, and l heard his loud gasp of ter
ror rs he understood that he was taken.
The candle was relit, and there was
our wretched captive, shivering and
covering in the grasp Of the detective.
He sank down upon the sea chest and
looked helplessly from one Of us to
the other.
Now, my fine fellow said Stanley
Hopkins, ''who are you and what do
you want here?"

At last we were getting something
positive, and yet 1t seemed long gap
between an absconding banker and
Captain Peter Carey pinned against
the wall with one Of his own harpoons.

THE CHIEF FAULTS Of
GIRLS IN BUSINESS.

II am in favor Of employing girls In
business" said commercial notability
in response to question. yet find
that some girls-not all Of them, mind

worth while to make the effort.

..You don't think they look at It in
that light? Well, don't wish to do
them any injustice, but l fear that some
of them do. Now, what always say
to girl In my employ when she has
not exercised her wits as she ought to
have done Is this: You wish to be

at is very probable. He came ex-
pecting to find the door open. He
tsaed to get i'll with the blade of a
very small penknife. He could not
manage it, What would he do?''
Come again next night with a more
useful tool"
$50 l should say. 1t will be our
fault if we are not there to receive
him. Meanwhile let me see the inside
of the cabin
The traces of the tragedy had been
removed, but the furniture within the
little room still stood as 1t had been
on the night of the crime. For two
hours with most intense concentration
Holmes examined every object in turn,
but his face showed that his quest was
not successful one. Once only he
paused in his patient investigation.
"lIave you taken anything off this
shelf, Hopkins:"
"No; have moved nothing"
Something has been taken. There is
less dust in this corner of the shelf
than elsewhere. 1t may have been u

been box. Well. we'll, can do moth
ing more. Let us walk in these beau
tiful woods, Watson. and give few
hours to the birds and the flowers. We
shall meet you here later, Hopkins.
and see if we can come to closer quar-
tiers with the gentleman who has paid
this visit in the night"
1t was past II O'Clock when we form
ed our little ambuscade. Hopkins was
for leaving the door of the hut open,
but Holmes was of the opinion that
this would rouse the suspicious Of the
stranger. The lock was perfectly
simple one, and only strong blade
was needed to push it back. Holmes
also suggested that we should wait, not
inside the hut, but outside 1t among
the bushes which grew round the far
Their window. In this way we should
be able to watch our man If he struck
a light and see what his object was in
this stealthy nocturnal visit.
1t was Il long and melancholy vigil,
and yet brought with it something Of
the thrill which the hunter feels when
he lies beside the water pool and waits

that the original seller had been Cap

Naturally, made some inquiries
about the man. 1 found that be had
been in command Of whaler which
was due to return from the arctic seas
at the very time when my father was
crossing to Norway. The autumn OF
that year was a stormy one, and there
was long succession Of southerly
gales. My fathers yacht may well
have been blown to the north and there
met by Captain Peter Carey's ship. II
that were SO, what had become Of my
father? In any case, If could prove
from Peter Carey's evidence how these
securities came on the market it would
be a proof that my father had not sold
them and that he had no view to per-
sonal profit when he took them.

Of the murdered man. whose gaunt and
deep lined face, with the furtive look of
terrier In the depths of her red trimmed
eyes, told OF the years Of hardship aud
Ill usage which she had endured. With
her was her daughter, pale, fair hair

her father was dead and that she bless

THE CARE OF SHOES.

No woman is well dressed unless her
feet are neatly shod, and it should be
borne in mind that it is not economical
to buy cheap boots or shoes. II posi-
BILE it is advisable to have boot trees to
keep the shoes in shape and to have
two pairs in use, so that the same shoes
need not be worn every day. When the
shoes are removed after being worn
they should be left to air, then put
away either In well ventilated box or
open shoe bag. Damp shoes and boots
ought not to be dried by the fire. but IN
a cool room. Flannel or old silk Is the
best material for shoe duster. Shoes
should always be kept clean. and when
they are not in constant use they
should be wrapped in tissue paper ana
kept in cardboard box.
