dollars day for certain hours of
work expects no reward as a general
thing, and therefore more or less me-
chanically performs his work and
then goes to his home the same as
any other workman. I do not blame
him for it, but it illustrates the weak
ness of the system. In addition to
that, he probably has a dozen other
somewhat similar affairs in his mind,
and his work is more of a general
than special character If he is
running along the trail of one criminal
and strikes that of another which
seems a little warmer, he is likely to
be diverted, since all evil doors are
fish in his net. On the other hand, when

I did not disturb him, but presently

laughed lightly as backed away, tell

and that she should keep it for pin

She picked It up, folded it carelessly

whined the voice from the sheets.
Then as LeDuc, with an Indifferent
shrug of his shoulders, arose as II TO
depart, the lean hand of Uncle Abner
shot from beneath the coverlet and
hooked itself to the tails of his coat

LeDuc was half inclined then and
there to throw up the proposition IN
disgust I could tell by the curl of his
lip, but after a second of reflection
he turned to me with a little smile
which told me that he had made his
allowance for the nature of the man
with whom he was dealing.
Very we'll Sign this agreement
then" he commanded shortly, as he
handed the quibbler a paper and
fountain pen. Carefully Uncle Abner
ran his coicrless eyes over the printed
form, inserted the necessary words
and figures and affixed his signature.
LeDuc thrust it into his pocket, and
first having his new client repeat
what he had previously told the po-
lice, turned his attention to the room
without comment upon the statement.
The safe he examined with infinite
attention to detail The hole that
had been drilled in the combination
occupied his attention for at least ten
minutes in itself. He measured it,
peered into it as a terrier peers into
a rat hole, examined it by the aid of
a magnifying glass and actually
Gnelled of it. The shattered pieces of
lock he examined slowly, bordering
over them for many minutes as he
slowly turned them around and
around in his hands. AS for the room
itself, the floor and the walls, he went
over them inch by inch, and having
at last finished that task asked me
to show him the closet in which | had
found the old man. In the hallway |
saw him suddenly stoop and pick up
some small object which he thrust
hurriedly into his pocket without
showing it to me. Inside and out we
went over the house for a full hour,

Simply because the clock on the
mantle stopped at that hour. | gave
it little shake when I noticed that

the conclusion is what put it out of
