CHAPTER XXXVlI.
Behind the Blind,


The final cheers had been given, the
triumphant peal of bells had abruptly
ended in the midst of particularly
effective flourish, as though the ring
er had been stopped half way through
his unauthorized performance by a
ScandaliZed vicar or church warden,
and the crowd drifted back to the
cricket field and the game was re-
sumed.
For one at least of the spectators
who had stood on the lawn cheering
Pride O. Life's victory the cricket
match seemed to have no attraction
"a middle-aged man, quietly dressed,
who slipped off among the thick
growth of trees, and after detour
made his way cautiously towards the
side of the house.
He was dressed in quite different
fashion from when he had last been

Brewer had not noticed him among
the crowd; but this man was Detmold,
the detective from Fellsgarth, who had
followed Lathom on the night of his
escape from the theater to Mr.. Strang-
ways house, and had gone away with
the impression rooted in his mind that
Lathom was in hiding there, unavail-
ing though his search had been.

; DR.. Brewer led the way to the ex
tensive grounds of woodland and laWr
in which the old house stood, followed
by the two cricket teams and theil
supporters alike in quiet, orderly fash
ion. Not much of crowd actually
but probably never had so many PEG
pie at one time been assembled in the
Squire's grounds as now.
That's the Squire's ROOM" said one
man, pointing across the intervening
space at the room with the French
windows opening on to the garden
The room had somewhat the look OF
being built out from the house, for
above it was broad, covered bal
cony, over the white ratings of which
grew an interlacing green of Virginia
creeper. Behind the balcony the low
window of the room on this upper
story stood open, and drawn blind
tapped every now and then in the
faint breeze.
The summer sunlight fell slantingly
upon the windows of the room that
opened upon the garden, and in the
dim interior could be seen the familiar
figure in the old-fashioned dress of a
gentleman of fifty years ago that
Squire Strangways always affected.
He was sitting in the high-backed
chair by the fireplace. AS the crowd
made it's appearance on the lawn and
waited there expectantly, he looked
up; then with an effort he rose to his
feet. supporting himself by his stick.
The doctor, leaving the little crowd on
the lawn, walked across to his pa
tient. AS he did so, 1t seemed as
though he was watching the Tapping
blind in the room above with curl
Gus intentness.
The doctor opened the French win
dows and entered the room; he would
have supported the old man, who was
walking with the aid of his stock to
the window, but with an impatient ges-
ture that struck more than one in the
little watching concourse on the lawn
as characteristic of the Squire, the old
man refused the proffered assistance.
and walked unaided to the threshold
of the window; he bowed with a stiff,
old-fashioned courtesy as cheer after
cheer arose from excited Threats. And
in the midst of the cheering the bells
from the church tower suddenly rang
out in a clashing peal; the sexton had,
on hearing the news, rushed off to car
ry out his avowed intention in def
ance of the vicar.
The old, white-haired man bowed
more than once; stood there by the
open window in the shadow, just out
of the slanting rays of the sunlight,
looking across the garden for Sc
cond or two with wistful expression,
receiving the ovation of his friends,
who realized that this must be the
sweetest hour of his life. Then slow
ly he went back into the room and
sank into the armchair again as tho
overcome-this man who had lived to
see the desire of his heart fulfilled,
who had safeguarded his daughters
future, though the sands of his own
life were nearly run out.
In the room overhead the blind Of
the open window leading on to the
balcony was Tapping in the breeze.

Early to Bed.

The man who makes it the habit
of his life to go to bed at nine o'clock
usually gets. rich and is always reli-
able. Of course going to bed does
not make him rich-I merely mean
that such man will in all probable
ity be up early in the morning and
do a big days work, so his weary
bones put him to bed early. Rogues
do their work at night. Honest men
work by day. It's all a matter of
habit and good habits in America
make any man rich. Wealth is a re-
suit of habit.-John Jacob Aston.

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead. and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety if he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods
1t is guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of q
paint expert could be.
