CHAPTER XIII.
An Old Man of the Sea.

An Old Man of the Sea.
"Oh, Mr.. Orme, you are the man
most wished to see." The minister's
voice carried note of unrestrained
eagerness. He extended his hand.
Orme accepted the salutation, mus
tering the appearance of casual meet
ing; he must keep Alcatrante out of
the building.
81 was sorry that l could not be at
your apartment this morning. contin-
ued Alcatrante, and l hope you did
not wait too long"
"Oh, no." replied Orme. 81 waited
for a little while, but concluded that
something had called you away. Has
Senior Poritol recovered from his anxi-
ety."
why, no." said Alcatrante. But the
course of events has changed" He
linked his arm in Orme's and walked
along with him toward the center Of
the city you see," he went on, my
young friend Poritol overestimated the
Importance of that marked bill. 1t did
give the clue to the hiding place of
certain papers which were of great
value to him. What he failed to realize
was that the papers could be of little
Importance to others. And yet, so per-
turbed Is he that he has asked me to
offer a considerable reward for the re-
covery of these papers"
"Indeed?"
yes" Alcatrante sent a slanting
glance at Orme. "The sum Is ridicu
lousy large, but he insists on offering
one thousand dollars"
quite a sum-" said Orme calmly
He was interested in the minister's in
directions.
LAS for the events OF. last night
continued Alcatrante, stopping short
with a significant glance.
"Well?" said Orme indifferently.

81 trust that you did not think me
absurd for sending that detective to
you. That l did so was a result Of
poor Poritol's frantic insistence."
'Indeed?"
MY young friend was so afraid that
you would be robbed"
81 was robbed" laughed Orme, try
ing to make light of the situation.
why, how was that?" AlcatrantGs
surprise was we'll assumed.
"Oh, after said goodnight to you,
the two Japanese caught me while 1
was going through the tunnel to the
courtyard"
my dear Mr.. Orme!"
They are clever, those Japanese"
And afterward you went out
again?"
What makes you think that?"
Alcatrante bit his lip. Why" he
stammered, the detective reported
that you were absent when he ar
rived"
and therefore" remarked orme
coolly, he got access to my apartment
and, after rummaging through my
things, went sound asleep In my bed

returned"

He was not clever detective" con-
tinued Orme. "And as for Poritol,
don't you think he had better offer his
reward to the Japanese?"

have reason to think that the papers

we're already gone when they went to
look for them. Poritol Is really very
anxious"
Doubtless" added Orme.
Perhaps" added Alcatrante, after
short wait, he might even go as high
as two thousand"
Indeed? Then there will surely be
many answers to his advertisement"
"Oh, he will not advertise" Alca-
trante laughed. Already he knows
where the papers are. While waiting
for the clue of the bill, he discovered
what others had already availed them
selves of it,"
THAT is curious" Orme smiled
How did he discover that?"
In a roundabout way. won't take
time for the story"
They walked along in silence for
little distance. Orme was figuring on
an escape, for the minister's clutch on
his arm was like that Of drowning
mans. Finally he sought the simplest
means of getting away. 81 have an en-
gagement," he said. 81 shall have to
leave you, here. Thank you for walk
ing with me thus far" He disengaged
his arm.
my dear Mr.. Orme," said Alca-
trante, "why should we beat around
the bush?"
why, indeed?" said Orme.
"Poritol knows that his papers are
in your possession. Speaking for him,
offer you five thousand"
why do you drag Poritol into this?
said Orme. you know that he has
merely been your agent from the start.
You think he has bungled, but | tell
you, you are the one who bungled, for
you picked him to do the work. He
had bad luck hiring burglar for you.
He lost his head when he ran away
with another persons motor car and
had to hand the marked bill to coun'
try justice. He showed bad judgment
when he tried to fool me with fancy
lie. But you are the real bungler
Senior Alcatrante. Any capable dip
lomat could tell you that"
Alcatrante's yellow face grew white
about the lips. His eyes flashed bale
fully.
Curse you'll" he exclaimed. "You
know more than is good for you. Take
care!"
Orme laughed in disgust. ooh, droI
this melodrama. l am not afraid Of
cheap Machiaevallis. In this country
there are some crimes that are moi

The minister's teeth showed. "You
shall see. my young, friend"
Doubtless. But let me tell you one

friends will know where to look for

Alcatrante snarled. Don't be too
sure"
"If necessary" continued Orme, "a
word to certain persons as to the COM
mission for building warships-five
hundred thousand, is it not? by the
new arrangement-in gold"
Alcatrante, in ungovernable rage,
raised his light cane and struck. Orme
Tended the blow with his arm, then
wrenched the cane away and threw
1t into the street. A swarm of pass
ers-by gathered about them so quickly
that in a moment they were the cen
ter of a circle.
"You Ounce" said Orme. do you
want the police?"
NO." muttered Alcatrante, control
ling himself with a great effort. you
are right" He darted into the crowd
at one side, and Orme, quick to take
the hint, disappeared in the opposite
direction, crossing the street and jump
ing into an empty cab, which had

A glance back showed Orme that

At a distance was Alcatrante. He
had seen Orme's escape, and was look
ing about vainly for another cab. But

street entrance. In the lower hall he
removed the felt slippers and tossed
them into corner.
he was amazed at the loudness of
the street noises, and the glare of the
sunlight as he stepped to the sidewalk.
He stood there blinking for moment,
until his eyes became accustomed to
the light. The foot-procession Of the
city streamed by him.
Suddenly a man turned in toward
the doorway and, with a startled ex-
clamation, stopped short. Orme found
himself looking into the cleaning eyes
of Alcatrante.

CHAPTER XII.-continued.

The silence that followed these prep
arations grew oppressive. The clients
were waiting for the right current"
and Madam Ala, Orme had no doubt,
was using the interval to free herself
from her bonds.
In a little while some one started
the hymn, "Over the River They Beck
on to Me-" and the others took 1t up
womens voices, chiefly, struggling
through the melody in their trebles,
with the mumbled undertones of one
or two men.
A draught of cooler air struck
Ormes cheek; hand found his Shout
der; voice whispered Under cover
of the singing Madam Ala had opened
the panel. Her lips were close to his
ear. In the creepy tension OF the
waiting Orme had almost forgotten
that Madam Alias ghosts were a
cheat, and the touch Of her hand made
him start, but her first words brought
him to himself.
"Hush!" she whispered, You'll get
your chance in a minute. Put on a
pair of black felt slippers. Here"-she
+, groped along the floor, and gave him
the slippers. They were large, and
went easily over his shoes.
Now the black robe, just behind
you"
He took it from it's peg, and slipped
into it.
Cover your head and face with the
hood"
He did as directed, finding the eye
holes with his fingers.
Hide your hands in the sleeves.
Now, listen. I'm going to keep them
busy looking at the curtains. When
you hear a gong ring three times, come
through the panel, and go between the
curtain and the wall-hanging, on the
side toward the window. The gas is
down to pin-point, Those folks think
they can see lot more than they do.
But they won't see you, unless you
show some white. Anyhow they'll be
watching the cabinet. Keep outside

There are hangings there; go through
them. You'll find light enough In the
next room to get to the door in the
hall. First stuff the robe under the
sofa. You'll find your hat under there.

Their Floating illustrates a Curious
Property Of Water.
Many simple experiments show that
the surface Of water possesses a prop
erty which causes it to resist the pas
sage Of bodies either from above or be-
water. but of the cleanest and purest
water as WELL A sheet Of fine gauze
tends to float because, its weight be-
ing widely distributed. each of the nu-
merous separate wires is resisted by
the surface film so that the water can.
not readily pass through the meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact
in many interesting ways. Some
water plants whose leaves float on
the water have very simple con-
trivance to keep the upper surfaces of
the leaves dry. This consists of a
great number of minute hairs covering
the tops Of the leaves. Water cannot
penetrate among these hairs even
when the leaves are forced down be-
meath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats
set affOat on the water are kept from
sinking and from being upset through
this same principle. The tiny eggs
have their points all upward. and they
are glued together so closely that,
while there is open space all around
the point of each egg. yet the width Of
these spaces is SO slight that water
cannot readily pass through. You may
again and again upset such an egg
raft, but it will right itself every time.
and the upper surface will remain dry.

0LD-1'|ME REMEDY
DARKENS THE HAIR
Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and
Gray Hair-Dandruff Quickly
@~ Removed.

From time immemorial, sage and
sulphur have been used for the hair
and scalp. Almost everyone knows
of the value Of such a combination
for darkening the hair, for curing
dandruff and falling hair, and for
making the hair grow.
In olden times the only way to get
a hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace, method
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready-to-use pro-
duct, skillfully compounded in per-
fectly equipped laboratories. The
Wyeth Chemical Company OF New
York put up an ideal remedy of this
sort, called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, and authorize
dru ggists to sell it under guarantee
that the money will be refunded if it
fails to do exactly as represented.
If you have dandruff, or if your
hair is turning gray or coming out,
don't delay, but get a bottle of this
remedy today, and see what a few
days treatment will do for you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. .5....

On Beinq Calm.

One of the finest things within reach
of the average individual is calmness.
It is also profitable.
Calmness is the twin sister of COM
fort. The man or woman who has
formed the habit of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are un-
comfortable.
Nor is it such difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become member Of the family!
For calmness is about ninety per
cent freedom from fear.
As rule, the person who is not calm
Is afraid Of something or somebody.
Afraid of self. perhaps. And that is
the most disconcerting sort Of fear.
The way to be calm is to be calm.
