opportunity to slip down the ladder and con-
ceal himself in the basement.
But burglars are sometimes as obstinate as
other people and don't do what they are ex-
pected to do. 81,
Morl was prudent operator and he nelth-
er went back to the safe nor used his voice 10
inform Lon of the disappearance iron, the
berth of the "spooney" Doubtless he did not
like to run the risk of speaking out loud SO SO
near the front door, for policeman might be
resting his bones on the front steps.
Very likely Morl had ideas of his own, ana
had come to the conclusion that the lnohen-
sive youth who slept under the counter. could
not have gone far. Possibly he expected to
find him crouching, in his terror, in some cor
ner of the store, expecting to be shot or BRAN
ed without a moments notice of his fate. AT
any rate the blunder of the burglars, including
Peach, was in underwriting the prowess of the
Young watchman, who had been employed In
the store only few weeks.
Morl walked to the end of the counter; and
by this time Bryan had nearly reached the
same point. The burglar could not help see
ing the open trap-door. OF course it suggest
ed to him that the spooney had made his es-
cape from the store in that way, if there was
any exit from the basement
He dropped upon his knees, and bending
over, looked into the space beneath. He
could see nothing but darkness, deep and
dense as the poets ever painted it. He could
hardly expect that even timid fellow, as

Your pluck was giving out, and you want
ed us to put off the break till some other
time. We had to give you something to keep
your courage up"
I'VE are losing time" interposed Morl, inn
patiently.
Are, you going to work, or not, Peach?"
demanded Lon.

"But | say you shall work. If you don't
weNwill leave you here with broken head" !"
threatened Lon.

the noise of the drill, or whatever the imple

tones. eve shall have hole through in fif,
teen minutes if you work sharp"
Fifteen mnutes!" thought Bryan. It was
time for him to be doing something All he
had to do was to make his way to the back
of the basement, ascend the stairs, and pass
out into the side street by the rear door. But
things do not always work exactly as they are
planned.
Bryan made his way noselessly along to-
ward the open trap-door, holding on with both
hands at the counter on which the showcases

rested. His experience 80 far had increased
his confidence in his ability to move about
without being discovered. He had brought
from the berth the iron mace; but on his way
to the middle of the store he found it impeded
his movements, and he had left it on the coun-
ter till bis return.
He was looking in the direction of the
burglars, when he reached the place where he
had left it, and he did not see it., Possibly
he touched it with one Of his hands, but he
was not conscious of doing so. At any rate,
the heavy mace rolled off the counter and fell
upon the floor.
OF course, it made tremendous noise, COM
paratively speaking, and the operators suspend
ed their work on the instant, for, the sound Of
the tools ceased. Bryan felt as though he had
fallen into tub of hot water. But he had
been trained to emergencies in his athletic
education, and he did not give up the battle
as lost yet. There was still room for big
fight in a good cause.
He raised his head high enough SO that he
could see over the showcase on the counter.
The trio of operators stood motion1ess in
front of the safe. They seemed to be par
alyzed by the interruption; but probably the
two outsiders were not. If Peach was. and
were merely waiting for further developments.
Nothing came of the noise; no other sound
followed it, and no one appeared to inter-
rupt the work. Lon spoke, and Bryan saw
Morl move toward the front of the store,
sent, he supposed, by the leading spirit of the
trio. Lon and Peach resumed their work, but
they stopped again moment later,
Look in the berth, Morl, and see if that
spooney has fallen out on the floor" said the
chief burglar. loud enough to enable Bryan
to hear him.
The professors son realized that there was
likely to be very lively scene in the course
of the next minute and half. Morl would
find the berth empty. and call his companions
in crime.
Bryan felt that he had no time to lose, and
he moved with all the haste consistent with
a silent retreat towards the trap-door. If
Morl went to the safe to inform his compan-
ions of his discovery, it would afford him the

Peach had painted Bryan's character to his
associates in crime, would take the trouble to
announce the place of his concealment.
Morl could not see anything in the black
hole beneath him. He began to rise, and
Bryan saw that he must face the music the
next instant. AS soon as the burglar was on
his feet he would go to the safe to inform his
companions of the absence of the late occu-
pant Of the berth. Morl turned, and with a
start discovered Bryan.
The burglar moved toward him, intending to
lay violent hands on him. The professors son
delivered one tremendous blow in Morris face,
and he went over backwards, falling through

the floor below.
Morl was the weaker man of the two burg
lars; and it was plain enough to Bryan that in
another moment he must confront Lon Blink
er or get out of the way.
In accordance with his standard rule to run
rather than fight, he had decided to retreat
long before the other burglar could put in
an appearance at the scene of action.
Leaping down upon the ladder, he caught
hold Of the trap door and lowered it as he de-
scended. Before Lon and Peach, who had
paused moment to listen before they start
ed, could reach the front Of the store, Bryan
had disappeared, and the trap-door was closed
over his head.
The young watchman went down only far
enough to enable him to close the scuttle
The body of Morl must lie at the foot of the
ladder. He could not know whether the de-
feated burglar was dead or alive. At present
he was not ready to inform himself on the

Another mystery has been solved, or partly solved, by the finding of the body Of Captain Lennon under the Pa cifc Coast company's dock at Juneau. The Captain disappeared in that city some time last fall; no one knew what had become of him. He just dropped out as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed him, only, the earth hasn't the habit of opening up in this vicinity. Now his body has been found under the wharf, but the mystery deepeus. How did he get there? The fair name of the capital city would be still fairer if that question could be an- swered.

The Ketchikan Daily Miner is serious. ly concerned that the subject of home rule for Alaska receives so little atten- ton. But what's the use? The major ity of those who read aud think for themselves were long ago convinced that Alaska should be self-governing, that we are big enough and good enough and have brains enough to make our own laws, but what's to be done about it? The fellows down at Washington, D. c. either don't think so or don't care a rap about it, and will not give it to us. That's all there is to it, so what's the use keeping up steam all the time and snorting like an engine on an up- grade just because we know something that we can't help. After a while, when Uncle Sammy gets through fixing up nigger difficulties, he will turn his at tention to the common white trash of Alaska.
