breach beyond the healing that opera

big centers. The company could not ope-

GETS FRANCHISE FOR
FIRE ALARM

The council last night granted a
franchise for an auxiliary fire
alarm, burglar and messenger serv.
ice to H. d. Merritt and his asso-
ciates. By the terms of the fran
chise the company must give the
city 8 per cent Oh the gross earn
ings. The franchise terminates in
1880 All poles must be erected in
alleys wherever possible and in the
residence districts must be put
underground. The Gamewell patent
will be used. 1t is this same patent
which the fire department now has
in use.
Some little opposition arose when
the proposition was taken from the
committee for final passage. Coun-
Gilman Estep insisted that before
he would favor it, the unsightly
poles should be put in the alleys.
He said the city was now disgraced
by the poles already erected. 1t is
understood that Merritt is organic
ing a local company to back the
proposition. He said this morning
that work would probably be start
ed within 60 days.

HOW TO MAKE HARD TIMES.

Gompers, before the National Civic Federation urging
employers not to reduce wages at this time
The president of the American Federation of Labor de-
ced that he had been approached by Of money who
had declared that wages must come down.
'.And turned to these men,, said Gompers, 'and
asked them whether the soil of country is less fertile
the treasures beneath the soil less valuable mems minds
less active the laborng less Industrious Wherefore
asked Them is there reason necessity to thus attack
the American stanandard of our workingman?'
We make hard times, just have made our
prosperity, if determined to have them. If cut

cut off sales.

CHAPTER XXXIII
(COntinlledl

1t was getting near II o'clock De-
fore the trio, accompanied by
Perks, made their way in the dir
rection of the common. They lay
quietly on the turf there till a dis
tant church clock struck IL, then
Venables jumped to his feet and
declared that the time for action
had arrived. There was no trou-
bles in getting to the back of the
house.
Now that the pinch had come
Perks was by far the most conf
dent of the party. He coolly pro-
duced a dark lantern and turned
the disc of flame down, so that it
shone alone upon the bag of tools
which lay upon the grass. He pick
ed out one presently, and proceeded
in perfectly noiseIess fashion to
cut out disc of glass to which he
had previously fixed sheet Of
brown paper by the aid of the tai
low from a candle. The glass cut
away, Perks had no difficulty in
placing his arm inside and pulling
back the catch. The window was
now open, but it was sufficiently
small to make entry into the house
matter of some difficulty.
81 think you had better try first"
Venables whispered to Walter
"You are the most agile. Just work
your way through and 60 round to
the front door and let us in.
don't think you need stay any long
err, Perks
81 am not quite so sure about
! that, SIR" Perks grinne0. l,"It is a
common practice with people to
fasten their scullery and kitchen
doors. l think I'd better stay here
till the gentleman has made sure"
A grim, silent moment or two fol-
| lowed. Then, surely enough, Wal
ter came back with the whispered
information that the kitchen door
was locked Perks chuckled to him
self as he snatched up another in
strument and squeezed through the
window. He set to work in bust
nesslike fashion, so that the kitch-
en- door was forced at length with
out the slightest noise, and the way
to the hall was clear. H.
In the strange, unfamiliar dark
ness, Walter stood for ar moment
until his eyes should become accus-
toned to the objects about him.
Then he proceeded, filed with a
stern resolution to succeed or lose
his life in the attempt He knew
that Silva would not hesitate to
shoot him down like a dog if his
presence were detected
He cautiously made his way in
the direction Of the front door. II
was not difficult to draw the bolts
or take down the chain. But the
door was also locked, and the key
had vanished. Therefore, any idea
Of admitting his companions that
way had to be abandoned.
Still, there were the windows
and French windows at that. But

rooms on the ground floor We're
locked, and the keys ,aken away

made it quite impossible for me to
wait till tomorrow
The cab finally stopped and Silva
bade her get out. A wild idea of
appealing to the cabman for assist
ance was dismissed as she caught
sight of his face. There was a grin
upon it, and the driver unmistak-
ably winked at Silva Doubtless he
was a conspirator, too.
There was nothing for it but to
see the thing through to the finish.
So Vera followed Silva till he
paused at length on the steps Of a
house which appeared to be in total
darkness.
THE servants have gone to bed"
Silva explained, as he opened the
door with a latch key. "If you will
wait a moment I will turn up the
gas. If you desire anything"
Nothing" Vera said CURLY. "All
l want you to do is to show me to
my room. l wish to be alone"
Silva bowed politely enough and
showed her to room in the roof
of the house which appeared to be
comfortably, almost luxuriously
furnished and with every feminine
requirement at hand.
With absolute amazement Vera
saw her own silver toilet set laid
out on the dressing table, her hand
bag was on the floor, and in one
corner of the room stood the two
dressing baskets which her maid
had packed for immediate use on
board the yacht A slight smile Of
amusement flickered over Silvas
face as he noticed Vera's amaze
ment.
Everything has been done to
make you comfortable" he said.
at was my own idea to remove
your immediate belongings from
Waterloo station. And now | wish
you good night, with a thousand
pardons for the way in which |
have been compelled to treat you.
Tomorrow morning"
Silva paused significantly, then
closed the door gently behind him.
When the sound OF his footsteps
died away Vera tried the door, but,
as she had anticipated, it was fas-
tened on the outside.
There was nothing but to make
the best of 1t and wait on the course
of events. There were two bolts on
the inside of the door, and having
secured these, Vera felt easier in
her mind. She undressed slowly,
more for something to occupy
her mind than anything else. She
felt she would never be able to
sleep again. Yet, within 10 min
utes, Vera had fallen into deep
slumber from which she did not
wake until the sun was shining high
and the birds were singing in the
| trees.
The girl rose, dressed eagerly
and looked out, She was at her
barred window admiring the beauty
of the landscape when there came
quiet knock at the door, and after
| the bolts were drawn Silva came in.
81 am bound to intrude," he said
by way Of apology. 81 merely came
to show you where you could find
all the requisites for our breakfast.
Here is spirit lamp, so that you
can boil your own water. | am in
great hopes that before evening I
shall be able to give you what is
practically the freedom of the
house. Do not think too harshly Of
me-"
Vera made no reply: she was
only pleased to have the room to
herself again. so that she could
think the matter out.
1t was some time later when she
crossed to the window and looked
out. She saw three men busily en-
gagged in some occupation on the
lawn. She saw Silva come out and
address them. Then one OF the

There was no help for it but to
return and tell the others of his
discovery. Lord Ravenspur was far
too big man to squeeze through
the larder window, so the perilous
task would devolve entirely upon
Walter and Venables.
AS Walter stood there be be-
came conscious that feeble ray
of light was penetrating down the
we'll of the stairs. Acting on i'm
pulse he crept up the thickly car
peted stairs until he was in a po-
sition to command the landing.
The light penetrated from one of
the rooms, the door Of which was
slightly open. Walter saw that it
was only a night light, standing on
small table. Even from that dis
lance he could see that letter lay
by the side of the light, or, rather,
sheet Of paper with a message
upon it. Powerful curiosity drew
him on, and he snatched up the
sheet of paper. There were only two
or three lines, but Walter recog-
nized, with thrill, that they were
in Vera's handwriting.
He had no time to read before
sudden rush of cold air from
somewhere extinguished the feeble
light. Worse than this, the current
slammed the door to with bang
that shook the whole house. 1t
was so utterly unexpected, and the
darkness was so intense, that Wal
ter could only stand there utterly
lost as to his surroundings.
CHAPTER XXXIV
A Strange Homecoming.
Vera opened her eyes at length
Gradually the things that had hap
pened came back to her. She recog-
nized the futility of resistance. The
cab was still moving briskly and
her abductor sat opposite her, grim
and silent.
The feeling of languor passed
away at last and she found it i'm
possible to sit there without speak
ing.

guilty of a criminal offense? You

remarked

this question of Silvas had opened
up a new and painful train OF

asked.
