1t was past II O-clocK wnen 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 a strong blade
was needed to push it back Holmes
also suggested that we should wait, not
inside the hut, but outside it among
the bushes which grew round the far
Their window. In this way we should
be able to watch our man II he struck
light and see what his object was in
this stealthy nocturnal visit.
1t was a long and melancholy vigil,
and yet brought with 1t something of
the thrill which the hunter feels when
he lies beside the water pool and waits
for the coming Of the thirsty beast Of
prey. What savage creature was Ii
which might steal upon US out Of the
darkness? Was 1t a 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
unguarded?
In absolute silence we crouched
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 fine rain falling amid the
foliage which rooted US in.
Half past 2 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 l had begun to fear that it was a
false alarm, when stealthy step was
heard upon the other side of the hut,
and moment later metallic scraping
and cllnking. The man was trying to
force the lock. This time his skill was
greater Or his tool was better, for there
was sudden snap and the creak of
the hinges. Then match was struck,
and next instant the steady light from
candle filled the interior of the hut

were all riveted upon the scene within

Washington, D. c., April 10.-The
principal topic OF political converse
tion in the national capital at the
present time is the way that Presi-
dent Roosevelt does things when bis
desires are thwsrted by the Senate.
He was stuck on having that Santo
Domingo treaty fixed up before the
Senate adjourned its extra session,
but the Senate refused to do so, be-
cause the Democrats stood together
for once In the great food OF years
and baked the scheme to make Uncle
Sam the collecting agent for the
debts Of all she countries and graitsrs
on the face Of the globe. But, as the
two polecats said to one another as
the automobile passed them and they
got q vhiif OF that breeze that follows
ID
the bepzine buggy, "WhGt's tho use?"
Nowadays whsn the Congress of the
nation does not do all the President
wants he just goes ahead and does
things to suit himself. They would
not give him the Panama Canal
route, 90 he went to work and got up
arevolution down there, stole Q piece
Of the territory Of the Republic ol
Colombia and fixed up q government
with which he could enter into Q
treaty.
Now, when the Senate refuses to
give him q treaty with Ssnto Domin.
70, 90 be can collect the debts Of Q
lot Of his political friends, be waits
until the Senate adjourns and then
flxes the thing his own way and will
send down his own collectors. II the
people do not like It what are they
going to do about 1t? As the late
lemented Tim Campbell, OF New
York, once said to a member OF Con.
