best fit himself for the work OF his

theological student did not feel sure
that he knew as much about men as
he did about divinity.

than transitory uneasiness. Sober sec

faulty of continuing his journey
through the driving tempest. and after
stabling his horse he entered the tap

The atmosphere of the place was

liquor. With a feeling of increasing
disgust he seated himself as far as
possible from the smokers. who had
nodded perfunctorily upon his entrance

side. and whispered:
The men in the tap-room mean to
murder you, They are ware Of your
mission and intend to kill you for the
gold in your possession"
Ere the startled Sanderson could
frame a reply the girl fastened from
the room. leaving him a prey to the
most distracting thoughts. The In.
formation she had given him, needless
to say, reused in his breast the most
poignant approximations, for he realized
that his life depended upon the celebrity

aside his hat and overcoat and rub

Ever since the reported discoveries

have been engaged in turning out wit

before the discovery, a writer of hui

point that since the north pole is, af-
ter all, an imaginary spot, why should
it not be discovered by the magma
ton, thus saving much time and trou

temperature at the north pole. Now
in another part Of the globe there is
a place famous for its torrid heat,
the equator. Nobody denies-the geog-
raphies agree on the matter-that the
equator is an imaginary line.
"Why, this being the case, not have
the equator pass through the north

would become easy, and n Of the

entered. lie spied another. opening
into the yard. 1t yielded to his touch
and he stepped outside.
The storm had now somewhat abat-
ed and the landscape was %shrouded in
friendly gloom. Apparently it would
be but a trivial matter to step to the
shed, mount his horse, which was still
saddled, and be far away before either
the landlord or his villainous col

But SandcrsCn W&s soon to discover

whom he had to deal.
Ere he had ~travorsed a quarter of
the distance between the inn and the
shed he beheld, pacing to and fro be
fore the latter building, a man who
proved to be nonc other than the land
lord himself. Evidently Russell had
taken up his position there for the ex-
press purpose of frustrating just such
a move as was being attempted. To
left and right were other shadowy
sentinels guarding every possible ave
nue. Of escape.
With a feeling akin to despair San
derson FASTENED back to the dining
room, where he was met by the pretty
serving girl. From her he learned that
he was to be put in the loft, which was
approached only by a trap-door open
iEg from the tap-room. There, while
he slept, he was to be murdered by the
landlord and his associates.
Fearing that you were not fully

most effective in the battle which now
seemed inevitable. d not betray the

with the gratitude he felt for the per.

But go, before my father discovers

left the room.
Sanderson, after a moment, returned
to the tap-room possessed of a feeling
of GOODNESS that but an instant before
he had deSpaired ever of assuming.
At bedtime the landlord came to
him with an Apologize smile that re
vealed nothing of the Ubiquitous plot
seething in his crafty brain.
Il shall have to put you in the loft
he said. "All the other rooms are oc

The horrifylng suspicion that the
supposed drunken man had been select

gested itself to Sanderson. But tc
voice the suspicion would, he felt
needlessly precipitate matters. So, with
an inward shudder, he assented tc
the landlords arrangements.
Russell provided his guest with G
tallow candle, and then returned to his
game of cards with his villiainous-look

Ascending the rude ladder leading t.
the loft, Sanderson found himself in {
large apartment, whose rafters were
festooned with eobwebs and grimee
with the accumulated dust Of years.

the hot %droughts of summer. The
government recognized the need when
