Tempest was early brought into the bat

for DR.. Samuels. although he was given
not out by the umpire on two occasions
on appeals by Capt Warren. Had the
decision in either case been given against
the batter the result would have been
different. the first decision being made
after he had made three runs, and the
second after he had accumulated eight
runs.
The work OF these two batsmen, with
the ten runs made by Quinn. accounted
for the Baltimore victory. Quinn had his

conceded that Doyle was the gamer by

CHAPTER xI.
I Receive a Call.

Going to bed at three o'clock on
winter morning in house whose
ways are disquieting, after a duel in
which you escaped whole only by
sheer good luck, does not fit one for
sleep. When finally drew the covers
over me it was to lie and speculate
upon the events of the night in con
nection with the history of the few
weeks | had spent at Glenarm. Larry
had suggested in New York that Pick
ering was playing some deep game,
and !, myself, could not accept Pick
erings statement that my grandfath.
er's large fortune had proved to be a
myth. If Pickering had not stolen or
dissipated 1t, where was 1t concealed?
Morgan was undoubtedly looking for
something of value or he would not
risk his life in the business; and it
was quite possible that he was en-
ployed by Pickering to search for hid
den property. This idea took strong
hold of me, the more readily, fear,
since had alwaye been axious to see
evil in Pickering. There was, to be
sure, the unknown alternative heir,
but neither she nor Sister Theresa

hiring an assassin to kill me-
On reflection / dismissed the idea
of appealing to the county authorities,
and never regretted that resolution.
The seat of Wabana county was 20
miles away, the processes of law were
unfamiliar, and | wished to avoid pub
icity. Morgan might, of course, have
been easily disposed of by an appeal
to the Anmandale constable, but now

chance at Arthur Pickering, and in

gathered up the fragments of Nor
gan's lantern and went back to the IL
brary. The lights in half the candle
sticks had sputtered out. I extin-
guished the remainder and started to
my room.
Then, in the great dark hall, l heard
a muffled tread as of some one follow
ing me-not on the broad staircase,
nor in any place could identify-yet
Enthusiastically on steps of some sort
beneath or above me. My nerves
were already keyed to a breaking
pitch, and the ghost-like tread in the
wall angered me. Morgan, or his ally,
Bates, undoubtedly, o reflected, at
some new trick. l ran into my room,

off for Bates room on the third floor

Bates, the Incompatible cook, the per-
feet servant, sat at table, the light
of several candles falling on a book
over which he was bent with that
maddening gravity he had never yet
in my presence thrown off.
He rose at once, stood at attention,
inclining his head slightly.

The fellow turned and faced me
across the table.
"Mr. Glenarm, as | hope God may
be merciful to me in the last judg-
ment, don't know any more about it
than you do"
"You were here with Mr.. Glenarm
all the time he was building the house,
but you never saw walls built that
weren't what they appeared to be, or
doors made that didn't lead any

I summoned all my irony and con-
tempt for this arraignment. He lifted
his hand as though making oath.

"And Morgan, your friend, what

flung out of the room and into the IL
brary.
At II o'clock | heard a pounding
at the great front door and Bates came
to announce caller, who was now
stamping the snow from his shoes
audibly in the outer hall.

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.
here's a Reason. "

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a fam
lily, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. | for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
Unable to eat breakfast | felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything | happened to
find. Being writer. at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
when | read of Grape-Nuts began
eating 1t every morning, also gave 1t
to the children, including my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
Il wrote evenings and feeling the
need of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer of Grape-Nut
with milk, instead of my usual indi-
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night.
Il grew plump, nerves strong, and
when wrote my brain was active and
clear; indeed, the dull head pain never
returned"

the reverend Paul Stoddard, ST."
The chaplain of st. Agatha's was a
big fellow, as had remarked on the
occasion of his interview with Olivia
Gladys Armstrong by the wall. His
light brown hair was close-cut: his
smooth shayen face was bright with
the freshness of youth. Here was a
sturdy young apostle without frills,
but with a vigorous grip that left my
hand tingling. His voice was deep
and musical-a voice that suggested
sincerity and inspired confidence.
I'm afraid I haven't been neigh
borly, Mr.. Glenarm. l was called

He folded his arms easily and

as though politely specializing as to
what manner of man I might be.

He looked at me quickly to see

Mr.. Glenarm's will is matter of

PARSONS PET SERMON STOLEN
Pastor Must Scouree Money Changers
at Some Later Date.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Rev. DR.. w. T. Reid,
pastor of the First United Presby-
terrain church on Fifth avenue, the
largest church of that denomination In
the city, is as angry as his calling will
permit.
For two weeks he has been at work
on sermon on the topic Christ
Cleanses the Temple" expecting to
deliver 1t and later to have 1t printed
in the United Presbyterian. He has
been much worked up over the ffnan,
cial furry, and decided to make it the
topic of his sermon. Despite the fact
that his congregation includes many
wealthy persons, he handled the
money lenders severely.
DR.. Reid had the manuscript in the
desk of his study and intended to com
init it to memory. Some time during
the night robbers got into the church
through one of the memorial windows.
After robbing the collection boxes
they went to the pastors study and
looted his desk A number of papers
We're taken, among them the sermon.
DIR. Reid had to depend on a sermon
that has done duty before.
I've only one consolation" he
sighed; maybe the miscreants will
read the sermon and it may reform
them. Who can tell?"
