My little lad is wrapped in sleep,
His face is glad and glorifed;
But as he sleeps he reaches out
His hand to feel me at his side.
Some night I, too. shall fall asleep
While angel songs are in the air;
And in my slumber l shall smile
To feel my Heavenly Father there.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Confession of Mr.. Tom Jackson.

The Confession of Mr.. Tom Jackson.
Ut happened that the small bedroom
occupied by Jules during the years
i when he was head waiter at the
Grand Babylon had remained empty
since his sudden dismissal by Theodore
Racksole.
No other head waiter had been for
mally appointed in his place; and, in
deed, the absence of one man-even the
unique Juies-could scarcely have been
noticed in the enormous staff Of place
like Sthe Grand Babylon.
The functions of head waiter are
generally more ornamental, spectacular.
and morally impressive than useful. and
it was so at the great hotel on the
Embankment. Racksole. accordingly
had the excellent idea of transporting
his prisoner, with as much secrecy as
possible, to this empty bedroom.
There proved to be no difficulty in do
ing so: Jules showed himself perfectly
amenable to a show Of superior force.
| Racksole took upstairs with Inn an old
commissionaire who had been attached
to the outdoor service Of the hotel for
many years. a gray haired man, wiry as
a terrier and strong as maStln.
Entering the bed room with Jules,
whose hands were bound, he told the
commissionaire to remain outside the
door.
Jules bedroom was an ordinary apart
ment, though perhaps slightly superior
to the usual Accommodations provided
for servants in the hotel of the West
End.
IL was about fourteen feet by twelve.
1t was furnished with a bedstead, a
small wardrobe, a small washstand and
dressing table, and two chairs. There
! were two hooks behind the door, strip
| of Garnet by the bed and some cheap
ornaments on the iron mantelpiece;
there was also one electric light.
The wirdOw was a LITTLE square one,
kign up from the floor. and It looked
| on the inner quadrangle. The room
was on the tcp story, the eighth, and
| from 1t you had a view sheer to the
ground. Twenty feet below ran mar
| Tow cornica about foot wide; three
| feet or so above tie window another
and wider cornice jutted out, and above
that was the high. steep roof Of the
hotel, though you could not see II from
| the window.
AS Rarksole examined the window
! and the outlook, he said to himself that
Jules could not escape by that exit, al
! any rate. He gaze a glance up the
| chimney. and saw that the flue was fa3
I too small to admit a mans body.
! Then he called in the commissionaire,
and together they bound Jules firmly
| tC the bedstead, allowing him, however.
! to lie down. All the while the captive
never opened his mouth; merely smiled
! a smile of disdain.
! Finally Racksole removed the orna-
! ments, the carpet, the CHAIRS and Ale
| books, and wrenched away the switch
/ of the electric light. Then he and the
| cOmnissionaire left the room, and Rack
| sole locked the door on the outside ami
! put the key IN his pocket.

Through a whim Theodore Racksole'

Meantime Miss Spencer, the head bureau
clerk, leaves abruptly. and Nella, from
whim, takes her place. To cap all, hes-
inald Dimmock is found dead, and before
the case can be Investigated the booy
nysteriously disappears.
NeIla's interest in Prince Aribert grows
daily, and he, reciprocating, conf1des In
her before leaving that Prince Eugen. VINO

the Babylon, has disappeared and no trace
can be found. Nella next becomes inter-
ested in IA baroness who turns out TO De
Miss Spencer disguised. and the impuL-
Sive girl follows her to Ostend. where she
confronts her. BY producing a tiny re-
volver NelIa forces Miss Spencer to con-
fess that Jules-or Tom Jackson-is her
husband, and that he has very strong
Ieasons for keeping Prince Engen out OF
London.
To the CONSERVATION Of the prince he
nnds. when he returns TO London. It
IS too late to borrow the million pounds
he needed.
Meanwhile Racksols Is planning a fur
ther campaign to clear up the mystery.
While walking along the London streets
he meets Felix Babylon. the man from
whom he bought the hotel. To Racksole's
surprise. Babylon tells him Jules Is In
London.
After Jules is discovered in a wine cell
lar by Nella Mr.. Racksole pursues him,
and finding reason to believe he had

barge boy, who probably had no
more right on the barge than Jules
himself, Racksole had won his game.
For the first time for several weeks
the millionaire experienced a sensation
of equanimity and satisfaction. He
leaned over the PROSTATE form Of Jules
and Hazell's professional skewer was
in his hand.
What are you going to do with hin
now?" asked HAZEL.
Wen row up to the landing steps
in front of the Grand Babylon. He shall
be well lodged at my hotel, I promise
him"
Jules spoke no word.
Before Racksole parted company with
the customs men that night Jules had
been safely transported into the Grand
Babylon Hotel; and the two watermer
had received their ten pounds apiece:
You will sleep here" said the mil
lionaire to Mr. George Hazell 1T is
late"
with pleasure" replied HAZEL.
The next morning he found a sump'
tuous breakfast awaiting him and In
his table napkin was a Bank Of Eng
land note for a hundred pounds. But
though he did not hear of them TIL
much later, many things had happened
before HAZEL consumed that sumptuous
breakfast.
