apprehension asked me. Was 1t part
OF the plot to get the secret 1t was
supposed l held? Had Mother Borton
been murdered and the house seized?
Or had Mother Borton played me
false and was | now a prisoner to my
own party for my enforced imposture,
as one who knew too much TO be left
at large and too little to be OF use?

was evidently folly to bring my Jailers

breaking down the door, and turned to
the window and the light-well. An
other window faced on the same
space. not five feet away. II II were
but opened l might swing myself oyer
and through it; but II was closed, and
a curtain hid the unknown possibili-
ties and dangers of the interior. A
dozen feet above was the roof, with no
projection or foothold by which 1t
might be reached. Below, the light
well ended in a timed floor, about four
feet from the window sill.

myself in dark side-hall between

TO the main hall. and | recognized II
for the same through which had felt
my way in the darkness Of the night.

stairs, following the way that led to

in front yards, or the
yellow back novels dispensed at ex.

Battle Creek, Michigan, Just now
is shivering in the presence of the
National Purity congress, the
thoughts of whose members are not
pure by any means. Like all such
organizations, it adopts resolutions
which, of course, are as harmless as
they are powerless to accomplish the
benefits advertised in their captions
The harm is done by the freedom
with which nasty topics, ignorance OF
which is bliss, are banded about.
These purists are appalled, at con-
.ditions, which they find confronting
them, and do nothing to alleviate the
condition. except pass resolutions
while, perhaps. their own children
are making statistics for another
generation of purists.
Some Of the resolutions favor
special teachers. for sex education in
public schools, abolition of vicious
employees in hotels aud restaurants
strict laws to punish couples falsely
registering in hotels, press censor

laws 90 restrain the publication OF

events of the night were not a fan

There was, however no tim9 to

my watch It was close On 9 o'clock,
and Doddridge Knapp migat even nov

he had stationed me.
The saloons front doors were
locked fast. but the side door that led
from the stairway to the street was
fastened only with a spring lock, and
I swung it open and stepped ito the
sidewalk.
A load left my spirits as the door
closed behind me. The fresh air of the
morning was Ike wine after the close
and musty atmosphere had been

a three-minute stop to swallow cup
of coffee and a roll, and once more

opened the door to Number Is.
The place was in disorder. The
books that had been arranged on the
desk and shelves we're now scattered
about in confusion. as though they
had been hurriedly examined and
thrown aside in a fruitless search.
This was disturbing incident, and |
