Another man would have needed
twelve hours in bed at the least to
compensate for such day Mr. Law
awakened in a lamb-like temper when
called at eleventhirty.
At midnight he committed an act of
burglary, calmly and with determine

In this nefarious business nothing
hindered and none opposed him. But

the kitchen offices and other servants

have thought the house empty. The
silence of an abandoned place in

But he was not to be satisfied with
such negative evidence: he explored
the dwelling infinitely, room by room,
story by story passing with little in

sign dedicated to the tendency of his
mortal enemy, intent on one object
only-to find Rose Urine, that one
woman whom he loved or else make
sure she was not there.
He negotiated that last flight Of
steps which led to the topmost floor
with extraordinary stealth, advised
thereto by a sound, or rather a series
of sustained sounds, which had there

be disposed of before he might solve
the secret of that shut and guarded
door,
Aside from actual violence no solu-

Comparison between this and the

the public peace Of the New Bedfort
waterfront at half-past four In thu
morning, proved In the upshot fal
more brief than had been fondly
hoped not only by his just Judge, but
singularly enough, by the misdemean
ant himself.
Taking everything gravely into con
sideration, including person any
thing but prepos sessing, the judge
reckoned that, in default Of fine OF
one hundred dollars, ten-day layuI
for repairs and repentance was not toe
much to mete out to the prisoner at
the bar.
He was sentenced at 10 a. m. and il
was little short OF 10 p IN. when his
rost-prandial repose was disturbed by
the rattle OF key In the lock of the
door to his cell.
Sitting up, Mr.. Barcus rubbed his
eyes and combed his hair with his fin,
gers.
What did tell you?" he observed
resignedly. 1T begins again already
Conducted with every evidence of
disesteem on the part of his jailers to
the Office of the warden, he was ac-
quainted with the fact that his fine
had been paid by no one less than the
judge himself then present in portly
and solicitous person.

friend of Mr. Digbys," the Judge

This is what Mr.. Digby says, the
judge interrupted laboriously de.

release of one Thomas Barcus, prob

'Eh?' Barcue interrupted sitting up

Patiently the Judge repeated the
sentence from the message.
