may tug at and not move; but press your foot on a certain stone, the whole dial swings round on a concealed turn table such as they have in garages, you know. You will have no difficulty in finding the right stone, because an inscription runs round the dial: Mas vale tarde que nunca; and the stone is directly opposite 'nunca. When you have moved away yoar dial you will see gently inclining tunnel, high enough for a man to walk in without stooping wide enough for two, and much better ventilated than the New York subway. That tunnel leads to secret door opening directly into the cellar, so skillfully contrived that it looks like an air-shaft. This door is only few feet from the shaft to the patio. We have found a bolt and put it on this entrance, but there wasn't any before nor did any one in the house know of the secret passage.
 The colonel went on to say that on questioning the architect he averred that he had never mentioned the secret passage 10 his knowledge-eX- cept that very recently, only few days before, at a dinner. he had barely alluded to it; ana one of the gentle men present. an customer had asked him where he get a man to make such a contrivanCe-it must take skill. lie had mentioned the name of the work man.

Otherwise, he's cold and keen as razor on frosty morn ing. He was convinced enough, now ever to discharge Atkins; the next news I had, he was trying to send hlm 10 the pen.

 "Very," agreed the colonel, dryly.
 By this time the warrior and the man of finance were on easy terms Warnebold remained three days. Be fore he left the patient had been pro nounced out of danger and had re- yiyed enough to give some succinct business directions. Mercer had been sent to look out for the cement deal and Keatcham appeared a little re lleved and brighter when he was tola that Mercer was on his way.
