Well, that is the number of the Asso-

a minute. Then he wanted to speak
with Mr.. Blake"
Eyes, sir?" asked Wanda, who had
been following his recital with the
wide-eyed delighted interest of a child
listening to a wondrous fairy tale.
"Mr. Blake took the telephone in
strument from my hands," pursued
Mark, unheeding, "and spoke into it."
Wanda turned slowly and gazed up-
on Blake in pleased amazement that
he could have performed so sensation
al feat as Mark had just described.
Then she looked back at Mark as
though unwilling to miss single word
of such an enthralling narrative.
But" continued Mark, when he
tried to speak to Jennings he found
the connection had suddenly been
severed"
"Oh!"
There was world of sympathetic
regret in her exclamation.
He was told" said Mark slowly,
''he was told-by you, Miss Kelly
that the line was out of order"
"Oh, yes!" she cried brightly. "And
that must have been why the connec,
ton was cut off. What a shame! Just
when he wanted to talk, tool"
Il suppose" said Mark carelessly
'if the line had got out of order, the
managers office would know of it by
this time?''

CHAPTER xx.-ContInued.

AS he waited for her answer, Agatha
suddenly came to herself. Her trem-
bling ceased; she looked about upon
them all with her truthful eyes; look
ed upon Hand standing unconcerned
ly in the doorway, upon Chatelard in
the corner cleaning like an oily devil.
"No-he had nothing to do with it"
she said.
Chatelard's laugh beat back her
words like a bludgeon.
Liars, all liars!" he cried. II might
have known!"
But Chamberlain vas impatient Of
all this. "And now, Monsieur Kidnap-
er, O can walk of with this gentle
man here. And you can't go n min

err laugh. you need not feel obliged

/ know when I'm beaten-which you
Englishmen never do. Got another Of
those pears you offered me this morn
!ing?"
Before Chamberlain could make re-
ply. or before the sheriff and his pris-
oner could get to the door, there was
the chug of an automobile. A Sec
ond later urgent and loud voices pene-
trated the room, first from the steps,
then from the hall. One was the
hearty voice Of a man, the other was
,Lizzie's.
Cant see her! Tell me l can't
see her after I've run a hundred miles
a day into the Jungle on purpose to see
her! The idea! Where is she? In

with cap, linen buster, and high gait
cred boots. He was pulling off his
goggles. "Well, what's this? A fam
lily party? Where's Miss Redmond?"
"Mr. Straker-" cried Agatha.
That's me! oh, there you are!
Why don't you open up and get some
lightf I can't see a thing"
Wait a minute, MI. Straker-"
Agatha was saying, when suddenly the
attention Of everybody in the room
was drawn outside.
When Chamberlain had told Chate-
lard that his horse was loose In the
yard, 1t happened to be the truth; now,
excited by fear Of the strange machine
that had just arrived, the horse, with
flying bridlerein, was snorting and
.prancing on his way to the vegetable
garden. 1t was almost beyond mascu-
line power to resist the impulse of pur.
suit. Aleck and Chamberlain sprang
through the window, the sheriff went
as far al the lawn after them, and in
that instant Chatelard slipped like an
eel through the open door and out to
the gate to Straker's machine. still
chuggtng. The sheriff saw him as he
Jumped In.
"Hey, there!" he shouted, and made
a lively run for the gate. But before
he reached 1t, Chatelard had terked
open the lever. loosened the brake,
and was passing the church at half
speed.

the case of st. Johns chapel Of Trim

The beautiful old building in Varick

its part. For the rest the present
status of affairs is indicated in the fol-
lowing statment from George Nc
Aneny, who, as borough president of
Manhattan, has the streets in charge:
1T is recognized" says Mr.. Mean
eny, "by all who want to preserve the
old landmarks of New York, that moth

the demolition of st. Johns chapel.
The matter is in allegiance now. pend

land which is to be taken in connec-

however, the board of estimate and

or the sidewalk. l propose to ask the
board to take action upon this not
later than the first meeting in Septem-
Der. 1t is impracticable to obtain ac-
ton before that time, because any
change in the plans at present would
involve the reopening of the entire
proceeding for widening Varick street,
and that would mean a long delay"
st. Johns chapel Is one of the two
church edifices that we're standing on
Manhattan island a century ago, the
other being st. Paul's chapel, between
Fulton and Vesey streets on Broad
way. The Trinity church, which then
stood in Broadway opposite Wall
street, was not the present Trinity
church, which is the third on the
same site, the first, consecrated in
1898, having been destroyed in the
great fire of 1875, and a subsequent
structure, erected after the Revolu-
ton, pulled down to make way for the
present one. st. Georges, on what
was known as Chapel hill at Cliff (then
Van Cliff and Beekman streets, was
the first Of the Trinity chapels to come
into existence. It was consecrated in
1852, but became a separate charge in
1911. The ediice was burned in 1914
and rebuilt the following year, and
after 1846 rebuilt once again on the
ground Of which 1t now stands, in
Rutherfurd place,
