sured himself, as he chose a room
with care and intimated to the land
lord his intention of remaining a week.
But for i'll luck of having his baggage
marked he should have registered
himself falsely on the books of the
inn; but feeling that this was not

Ardmore entered the hotel deliber-

the door. Then he seized the little brown
jug, drew the stopper and poured out
a tumblerful OF clear white fluid. He
took a swallow and shuddered as the
fiery liquid seemed instantly to cause
every part OF his being to Jingle. He
wiped the tears from his eyes and
sat down. The corn-cob stopper had
fallen 10 the floor and he picked It
up and examined 1t carefully. It had
been fitted tightly into the mouth of

Ardmore had dropped the jugs care

surveying them critically when the
train started. The wheels were be-
