except that the champion was shot
ted and sent to the botto moi the sea
by his attendant.
The bulldog had special quarters
aboard the great liner and his diet
had been outlined for him carefully.
That his owner had faith in his beat
ing out the great English born Amer
lean champion, Strathtay-Prince
Albert, was shown by the fact that
he did not hesitate to pay 5000 for
him. Mr.. Richie valued the dog at
$4,000. The sudden death OF a dog
as we'll put down as the Marquis was
important news to doggy" people

Hargreave's glance sought the mir

man. He laughed, but the sound con-
veyed no sense of mirth; then he
turned and went down the steps slow

grew tired, hail a taxicab, and take

wonderful illumination might prove d.

now it was as natural for him to
throw a glance over his shoulder

life in exchange for eternal vigilance,
and he knew and accepted the fact.
Half an hour later he got into
taxicab and directed the man to drive
downtown as far as Twenty-third
street and back to Columbus circle.
The bewildering display of lights, how
ever, in nowise served to lift the sense
of oppression that had weighed upon
him all day. South Of Forty-second
street he dismissed the taxicab and
stared undecidedly at the brilliant
sign of a famous restaurant. He was
neither hungry nor thirsty; but there
would be strange faces to study and
music.

man in the carriage balanced himself
carefully, so that the bundle in his
arms should not be unduly disturbed.
His arms ached. He stuck his head
out of the window.
That's the place." he said. "And
when you drive up make as little noise
as you can"
"Yes, sir" called down the driver.
When the carriage drew up at its
journeys end the man inside jumped
out and fastened toward the gates.
He scrutinized the sign on one of the
posts. This was the place:
MISS FARLOW'S PRIVATE SCHOOL.
The bundle in his arms stirred and

knocker and struck several times. He
then placed the bundle on the steps
and ran back to the waiting carriage,
into which he stepped.
