But before an answer could be

fiereely inside, and the scramble was
renewed, amid which George heard

No. Neither was he the speaker.

We want the speaker. If the boys
get him, we're all right; but If they
don't-wait, l must make the matter
sure"
And with a bound he yaulted
through the window, whistling in a
peculiar way. George, thus left quite
alone, had the pleasure of seeing his
sole protector mix with the boys, as
he called them, and ultimately crowd
In with them through the door which
had finally been opened for their ad-
mlttance. Then came wait, and then

The sleet which had stung their
faces in the streets of New York had
been left behind them somewhere on
the bridge, but the chill was not gone
from the air, and George felt greatly
relieved when Sweetwater paused in
the middle of long block before a
lofty tenement house of mean appear

Sweetwater seeiued to decide for

walls above him. Another tenement

George shook his head. He could
not rid himself of the old impression
he had formed of the man in the

George felt non-plussed
But surely" said he, the gentle
man named Brotherson doesn't live
here"
THE inventor does"
"Oh!"
"And-but l will explain later"
The suppressed excitement con-
tained in these words made George
stare. Indeed, he had been wonder
ing for some time at the manner of
the detective, which showed a curious
mixture of several opposing emo
lions. Now, the fellow was actually
in tremble of hope or impatience-
and, not content with listening, he
peered every few minutes down the
well of the staircase, and when he
was not doing that, tramped from end
TO end of the narrow passage-way sep
arating the head of the stairs from the
door he had pointed out, like one to
whom minutes were hours. But when.
after some half hour of this tedium
and suspense, there rose from below
the faint clatter of ascending foot
steps, he remembered his meek COM
panion and reckoning him to one side,
began studied conversation with
him, showing him notebook in which
he had written such phrases as these:
Don't look UP till he is fairly In
range with the light.
There's nothing to fear; he doesn't
know either of us.
If 1t is face you have seen before
if it is the one we are expecting to
see, pull your necktie straight. It's

but instinctively Georges hand had
flown to his necktie, and he was only
stopped from it's premature. rear

pered the detective.
Suddenly the steps below paused,
and George heard Sweetwater draw in
his breath in irrepressible dismay.
But they were Immediately resumed,
and presently the head and shoulders
OF a workingman of uncommon pro-
portions appeared In sight on the
stairway.
George cast him a keen look, and
his hand rose doubtfully to his neck
and then fell back again. The ap-
preaching man was tall, very well-pro-
portioned and easy of CARRIAGE but
the face-such of it as could be seen
between his cap and the high collar he
had pulled up about his ears, con-
veyed no exact impression to Georges
mind, and he did not dare to give the
signal Sweetwater expected from him.
You're not sure?" he now heard,

There was no hesitancy now. Ris-
ing, he leaned over the table and read
the few words the other had spread
out for his perusal. Then he slowly
rose to his full height, as he an
swered, with some slight display of
conjunction:

Pray finish, Mr.. Brotherson."
THAT you are not seeking to es-
tablish a connection between this let
ter and her violent death?"
Letters of this sort are often very
mischievous, Mr.. Brotherson. The
harshness with which this Is written
might easily rouse emotions of a most
unhappy nature in the breast of e
woman as sensitive as Miss Chal-
loner."
Pardon me, DR.. Heath; cannot
