The vintner had indeed heard some
thing. He knew not what this noise was.
but 1t was enough to set his heels to
flying. A phase had developed In his
character that defed analysis: suspicion.
suspicion Of daylight. OF night. Of shadows
moving by walls. Of footsteps behind.

room held q cot. a table and two chairs.
The winners wardrobe consisted of a
small pac-- thrown carelessly into a cor
ner. Out OF the drawer in the table he
took several papers and burned them.
The ashes he cast out of the window. He
knew something about police methods;
they were by no means all through with
him, All! A patch of white paper just
inside the door caught his eye He fetched
1t to the candle. What he read forced
the color from his cheeks and his hands
were touched with transient palsy.
The devil! What shall I do now?' he
muttered. thoroughly dismayed.
What. indeed, should he do? Which
way should he move? How long had he
been in Dreiberg? All. that would be
rich! What a joke! It would afford him

CAN'T PUSH KEY OUT.
Little Metal Bar Will Frustrate
Ahlest Burglars Efforts.

People who lock their bedroom doors

Illustrate their efforts in this direction a
