Drainage Bill Interests Farmers.

M d i n.-Asse mblymen repre-
senting agricultural districts are re-
ceiving numerous letters from con-
stftuents asking for copies of the
drainage bill and it Is very likely that
the farmers of the state will be heard
from in no unmistakable manner in
regard to these measures. There is
a good deal of opposition on the part
of farmers to any extensive change
in the drainage code and some lively
arguments over the drainage bills
may be expected when they come up
for hearings.

CHAPTER XXlX.-Continued.

We crowded out of the elevator at
the fourth floor, and found ourselves
in rather theatrical hallway of dra-
lperies and armor. 1t was very quiet;
we stood uncertainty after the car
had gone, and looked at the two
or three doors in sight. They were
heavy, covered with metal, and sound
proof From somewhere above came
the metallic accuracy of a piano

we could hear-or feel-the throb of

We were late. My watch and Hotch-
kiss agreed at nine o'clock, and, with
the discovery that our man might
have come and gone, our zest in the
adventure began to flag. Mcknight
motioned US away from the door and
rang the bell. There was no response,
no sound within. He rang it twice,
the last time long and vigorously,
without result. Then he turned and
looked at us.

The apartment, save in the hallway,
was unlighted. BY one Of those freaks
OF arrangement possible only in the
modern fiat, found the kitchen first,
and was struck a smart and unex-
pected blow by a swinging door. l
carried handful of matches, and by
the time l had passed through a but
ler's pantry and a refrigerator room |
was completely lost in the darkness.
Until then the situation had been
merely uncomfortable; suddenly it be-
came grisly. From somewhere near
came long-sustained groan, followed
almost instantly by the crash of some
thing-glass or china-on the floor.
I struck a fresh match, and found
myself in narrow rear hallway. Be
hind me was the door by which must
have come; with keen desire to- get
back to the place I had started from,
opened the door and attempted to
my sense of direction, but l crashed
without warning into what, from the
resulting jangle, was the dining table,
probably laid for dinner. I cursed my
stupidity in getting into such a sit
uation, and I cursed my nerves for
making my hand shake when I tried
to strike a match. The groan had not
been repeated.
I braced myself against the table
and struck the match sharply against
the sole Of my shoe. It hickered
family and went out. And then, with
out the slightest warning, another dish
went of the table. It fell with
thousand splinterings; the very air
seemed broken into crashing waves

the table, holding the red end of the
dying match, and listened. I had not
