Denmark Claims Nelson.

The Danes maintain that Admiral
Nelson was one of their race, despite
the fact that he was born in England.
They point out that the name is Dan
ish and that many Danes were settlers
in East Anglia. They consoled them
selves over their defeat at the battle
of Copenhagen with the thought that
the victor was II Of their own race.
At least one scandinavian historian re-
fers to his family as zone of the most
brilliant examples of noble English
families descended from the North

that we had chiefly relied In the matter
OF the genuineness Of the Desborough
contract. It was to him | now carried
Il with the singular request that he
should prepare for me the best posi-.
BILE forgery.
During the time necessary for this
work Hammond once visited the safety
deposit box and missed the document.
but I satisfied him with the falsehood
that Il had been in my possession. On
the evening of the same day my father
laid two copies of the Desborough con.
tract before me and asked me to Judge
between them; but, though had learn
ed many secrets from him, | could not
distinguish the new from the old.
After I had substituted the false for
the genuine contract 1t was necessary
only for me to visit the Central's vaults
at the close Of every day. When Ham
mond should be ready to consummatc
his corrupt bargain | could not fail to
know.
1t fell upon a Saturday, and ut mid
night I followed Hammond to the house
upon the o street whence | had seen

rooms. T had removed the wig ana

knew me and stared Mt my shabby at
tire. Mr.. Hammond, he said, had just
returned. I went to his apartment and
knocked. and he answered in a hoarse
voice, "Who's there?"
"Let me In" l called. 81 must see
you at once"
There was n brief silence and then
n loud. sharp sound. l set my hand to
the door and found it unlocked, but OBJ
structed by the body Of the man who
for so many years l had called my
friend. He lay dead at my feet, n re-
volver upon the floor beside him.
l learned subsequently that he had
received a blow upon the head. doubt

had been found wandering in the
streets not far away. While being led
home he had recovered and had insist

prosecution for this affair. The secrets
of his house were undiscoverable. Be-
yond my own evidence as to Ham
mond's entry by the private way l
could offer nothing. That did not prove
the manner of the assault upon him.
When Stendhall found that he had TAX
en- a worthless document from Ham
mond he offered a satisfactory settle
ment Of the DeSborough suit, and with
that l was forced to be content. The
facts about Hammond found their way
into print, but that they frightened or
even annoyed Stendhalf in the slight
est degree l cannot give myself the
pleasure of supposing, but l know upon
excellent authority that the trick Of the
forged contract cut him to the marrow.

about, and 1t was the same with the
elder of my companions. Often 1 was
aware that she shuddered and started
as II waking from no pleasant dream.
Then l knew that she had beer think,
-Akg-6f-0Hf-alxesSary Richard Stcnd-
hall, whom she feared with the sim
pllclty Of superstition as though he
were the devil. Sometimes In such mo-
ments she would cast n quick glance
Mt me as If l were her sole reliance in
this just contention.
Upon the whole, 1t was a highly emo
tional evening for me and for this rea-
son keenly delightful.
When 1 had parted from Mrs. Des-
borough and pretty Miss Alice after a
bit of supper it was past midnight,
mild, clear and with a growing moon
now falling toward the west. l was in
no mood for sleep. My mind refreshed
itself upon its own delight, and so it
happened that / took d long detour to
pass by Stendhalrs home-the 'Iron
House" as 1t Is called, because of the
abundance of that strong metal in and
around 1t.
There is a tall iron fence upon the
avenue side, and the black arch over
the great gate rises twenty feet at
least. The cumbrous bolts were al
most on a level with my eyes. The up
right bars which l took hold upon were
bigger than my hands could clasp.
This formidable structure, seemingly
designed for giants, dwarfed me in
body, yet enlarged my spirit, for in
the dark mass of that great house there
was n single lighted window in the
second story, and l believed that Stend-
hall burned his lamp so late to seek for
refuge against my attack.
This was by no means the first time
l had stood before his gate. His house,
so ponderously defended, the courtyard
always deserted by day and crowded
with black shadows by night, had ex-
ercised a strong fascination upon my
mind long before l dreamed that the
man himself would ever be more than
a name to me, His home fitted him 50
well! His iron hardness of heart, his
long defiance Of the law, his incredible
wealth locked up in steel behind the
doors Of banks, the mystery of his
ways-these and many other images l
had enjoyed years ago, when the scene
was new to Inc and Stendhall charmed
my fancy as n type Of the most mon
strous product of our era, the throned
brigand Of industry.
The broad window whence came the
light in a wavering tracery around the
edges of the curtain had once been
pointed out to me as belonging to the
room where Stendhall received the most
intimate OF his visitors and c~oncocted
his most intricate conspiracles. He, in
deed, formed many alliances and seem
ed to have no need of caution, distrust
ing all men, but fearing none, scorning
t%reachery, often betrayed, yet never to
his hurt.
AS l watched, the light was slowly
lowered. Frugal ~Stendhall, being about
to leave the room for u little while, had
turned down the gas. Presently / saw

guised as an old man with q white wig
and beard. When Hammond entered
the suspected house ] was quito close
to him, and l observed that he gave m
summons. There wes no visible at
tendant. The door, seemed to open OF
Itself, and / observed a similar phe-
nomenon q few minutes later when a
shadowy form which | could not doubt
to be Hammond's passed along the dim
arcade to the unllghted portal Of Stend-
halls residence.
Immediately an almost insane curl
osity took hold upon me. My desire to
see the meeting between Stendhall and
Hammond was so strong that 1t re-
lleved me Of the necessity Of planning.
l proceeded upon pure animal instinct.
1t was no great feat to climb the iron
fence, but l will not describe, and, in
deed, shall never clearly know, how l
scaled the side of Stendhall's house.
Once at the window, my difficulties
were over. There we're a fair footing
and n hold for my hands, but l could
see nothing. The window was n little
way open, and the draft was outward,
so that the curtains edges seemed
glued to the casing. My excitement
was m~addenlng, and the minutes were
endless. Then suddenly the current of
air changed. The curtain swung some
inches inward, and l could see into the
room.
Stendhall stood with his back toward
me, looking across a broad table to the
door, which an Ill favored fellow who
seemed to be n servant had Just open
ed. There was Il folded paper in his
hand. He advanced and gave it to
Stendhall, who glanced at 1t and nod
ded several times. The servant with
drew, and not a word had been spoken
upon either side.
l slid down from my perch without n
thought for my neck, ran round inside
the yard to the front door and pressed
the electric button. Upon the front the
house had a conventional and inhabited
look. l expected n prompt response to
my ring. Instead there was n long
wait, during which had q strange
sense Of being scrutinized by hidden
eyes.
Upon the farther side of Stendhall's
house there was a carriage way closed
by heavy gates, which suddenly were
rolled aside. A closed carriage rolled
out into the road, and thought I heard
a mufled cry from within it. Clearly
they were taking Hammond away, hay
ing robbed and gagged him. What fur
Their violence was meditated / knew
not, but a strange survival of loyalty
to this traitor swept over me, and / ran
to his relief.
Through many dark streets l pursued
the vehicle, and at last it stopped be-
side the curb. ! ran up to it and
wrenched open the door. The coach
man upon the box remained absolutely
motionless, paying no attention to me.
The carriage was empty. I had been
neatly trlcked.
1t was useless TO return to Stend-
halls, and upon a chance / went to
the house in which my partner had his
