Bareheaded, his bald dome of thought
shining in the candle-light, his round,
solemn face, with big innocent gray
eyes gazing at me, an apron about his

most ludicrous appearance. Somehow
my heart warmed to him, especially as
l perceived the tray, heavily laden,
which he bore easily en- one arm, and
the towel flung over his shoulder. And
as I stared at him his movements be-
came professional. Silently, solemnly,
his mind strictly upon his duties, he
wiped of the table top, and arranged
the various dishes thereon with the
Ereatest care, polishing cups and
glasses, ard finally placing one Of the
chairs in position. Stepping back, nap
kin sill upon arm, he bowed silently. I
took tie seat indicated, and glanced
up into his almost eXpressionless face.

CHAPTER XII.
Introducing Peter.

1t was new country to me that we
traversed, rolling country, but not
thickly settled, although the road ap'
peared to be a well-beaten track. The
gloom, coupled with the rapidity of
our movements, prevented me from
seeing anything other than those dim
objects close at hand, yet We were
evidently travelling almost straight
east. l endeavored to enter into con.
versation with the two fellows riding
on either side of me, but neither one
go much as turned his head in re-
sponse to my voice, and l soon tired
of the attempt. The night told me
little of who they might be. although
they were both in the uniform OF the
Queens Rangers, the one called Peter
on my right round, squat figure, and
bald-headed, his bare scalp shining
oddly when once he removed his
cooked hat; the other was an Older
man, with gray chin beard, and gilt
tering display of teeth.
The movements of my horse caused
the ropes to lacerate my wrists and
ankles, the pain increasing so that
once or twice l cried out. The fel
lows guarding me did not even turn
their heads, but the lieutenant drew
up his horse so as to block us.
What is the trouble? Are you
hurt?"
These ropes are tearing into the

If they were loosened a bit"

toward me through the darkness. ]
thought he drew quick breath as
from surprise, and there was mo
ment's hesitancy.
LET out the ropes a trife, Peter"
came the final order.
The little bald-headed man went at
1t without a word, the lieutenant rein
ing back his horse slightly, and draw
ing his hat lower over his eyes. In
the silence one of the horses neighed
and the boy seemed to straighten in
his saddle, glancing suspiciously about.
Ride ahead slowly, Tonepah," he
ordered. "IIl catch up with you." He
turned back toward me. "Who are
you. anyway"
Surprised at the unexpected Ques-
ton, my first thought was to conceal
my identity. These were Kings men,
and I was in ordinary clothes-the
rough homespun furnished by Farrell.
If, by any chance, was not the party
they had expected to waylay, l might
be released without search.
"Who am II" / echoed. DO you
mean you have gone to all this trouble
without knowing whom you hold pris'
oner?"

DESTROYED
By Fire Was A House Near
Hiawatha Park
All Household Goods Burned
Up...NO Insurance

The roof mass of flames and the
structure hopeiessly doomed, was the
condition in which the family of An.
son Sprankel discovered their home,
located just west of Hiawatha park,
Tuesday evening at about o'clock.
Mrs. Sprankle and her children were
in the house when they were sudden.
ly alarmed by . cloud Of smoke which
penetrated the room in which they
were at the tine. Fastening into the
yard they found that the entire up.
per part of the house was blazing and
that nothing could be done to extin.
guish the flames.
Mr.. Sprankel, who is employed at
the car barns at the park, was soon
notified and he hastened to the scene
accompanied bv a number of men
who made efforts to save at least part
of the household effects, but were un-
able to even enter the house owing to
the fire and smoke. Everything was
destroyed
1t is supposed that the blaze or
iginated from a defective fiue but the
real cause is not known. There was
no insurance 'yhatever on the house
or household goods.
