with a farewell look at the distorted

The doctors study door was open as

The locked writing desk. which prob
ably contained the only clew to Alicia's
retreat that | was likely to find, was in
It's usual place on the table. There was
no time to break it open on the spot. I
rolled it up in my apron, took it off
bodily under my arm, and descended to
the iron door on the staircase. Just as
l was within sight of it. it was opened
from the landing on the other side. I
turned to run upstairs again, when a
familiar voice cried, Stop and, look

We scaled the wall easily by the
help of a ladder. When we were
down on the other side, young File sug-
gested thai the safest course for us
was to separate, and for each to take
his W way. We shook hands and
parted. He went southwark, toward

hin. ask in his most cheerful tones.
IF you want to eat and drink, order
the victuals at once" replied one of
the runners sulkily.
He moved back to the orner pulled
aside something in the wall, disclosed
the mouth of a pipe which was a per-
feet novelty to me, and called down it,
"Mosesi"
1t was the first time I had heard
that name in the house.
"Vho is Moses?" inquired the officers
both together, advancing on him sus-
piciously.
"Only my servant" answered the
doctor. He turned once more to the
pipe, and called down it:
What was 1 to do next? The minutes
were getting on. and l had not heard a
word yet, through the peephole. on the
subject of the reserve of Bow street
runners outside. Would it not be best
to risk everything and get away at
once by the back of the house?
"On1y oblige me with my hat, and I
shall be quite ready for you" the doc
tor said-paused for one moment, Then
repeated the words, quite ready" in a
louder tone-and instantly disappeared
through the floor!
I saw the two officers rush from OPP

a common, burst through a. hedge and
came to a halt, on the other side, in a

Carlyle's Curious Study.

Thomas Carlyle. the noted English
philosopher and historian, had q curl.
Gus study. 1t comprised the entire
third floor Of his narrow brick house
ct Chelsea, q London suburb. The
walls of the study were Of double
thickness. to prevent street noises
from annoying the master while at
his work, and a skylight afforded the
light. Just how fresh air was fur
nished the room was not apparent to
the visitor. There Ia nothing about
the room to suggest comfort only
close, thick-walled, skylighted long
apartment where the great dyspeptic
worked and worked ceaselessly, and
from where he hurried to the kitchen,
in the basement Of the house, as soon
ss his days labor was done. In the
kitchen he received his most intimate
friends, and there they smoked their
pipes together.

An island Of Massacres.

Hayti, the West Indian island, to
which public attention has Just recent
ly been directed. has been the scene
of more massacres than any other
place on earth.
They began with the coming Of Co
lumbus and the rabble rout that fol.
lowed him. In o few years Its 3,000..
900 Of gentle, brown-skinned inhabi.
tants had persisted utterly, exter.
minated by fire and sword and BY
forced labor in the mines.
Next the buccaneers seized the I'm.
happy island and wreaked vengeance
on the Spaniards. Presently came the
French, and for brief space there
was some semblance Of peace. But In
1893 the negroes revolted and muir.
dered practically all the whites.
On account Of these atrocities,
frightful reprisals took place when
France, in due course, reconquered the
island. But the negroes bided their
time, and presently rose again under a
ruffian named Dessalimes. This time
they did the thing thoroughly. Not
only were all the Europeans put to
death, but all having any admixture
Of white blood in their veins suffered
a like fate. In all It Ia computed that
100000 men, women and children
have met with violent deaths on this
island Of massacres since the inrtuding
white man FIRST set foot on Its palm
fringed strand.

know that shall not be believed yet

fellow men on account Of the moral
connected with It."
Everybody put on a grave face and
prepared to listen, and after clearing
his throat the Bostonian continued:
Five years ago was eating dinner
at Chicago restaurant. Just as rose
up I put SO gold piece In my mouth
to hand to the waiter. At that minute

house came up and slapped me on the
back and I swallowed the gold. ! con.

There were winks and mods and
knowing looks. but the relator had
truth on his side and there wasn't
tremor in his voice as he went on:

entered restaurant for good meal,
but before sitting down felt for my
