chuckling.
In the passing 1t might wen be observed that
the Hargreave house had a remarkable me-
mage There was q gardener, q cook, and .
maid and the three Of them reported to Jones
each night before going to bed. They were an
three detectives from one Of the greatest or
CARNATIONS in America.
Finding themselves unable to lure Florence
away from the environs of the Hargreave
home, the Black Hundred set some new ma
chinery in motion. They proposed to rid the
house Of every one in it by perfectly logical
device. But the first step in this new move
was going to be extremely delicate and risky.
1t was no small adventure to enter the Har-
greave home; and yet this must be done. So
finally Spider" Beggs was selected for the
work.
Three or four nights after the Paroff fiasco,
Jones started the rounds, putting out the
lights. He left the one in the hall till the last,
for it was his habit after having turned of
that light. to stand by the door for several
minutes, watching. One never could tell.
On the other hand, Spider" Beggs never
approached "a house till an hour after the
lights went out Persons were likely to move
about for minutes later; they might
want something to eat, drink of water. So
he remained hidden behind the summer house
till long after midnight. When at last he ielt
assured that all in the Hargreave house were
asleep, he moved out cautiously. Both his
future and his pocketbook depended upon
tine success Of this venture. 1t took him
ten minutes to crawl from the summer house
to the veranda, and to have detected this
approach Jones, had he been watching, would
have needed a searchlignt. Beggs Rugged
the lqttice work for another ten minutes and
then drew himself up and wrigsled to one
of the windows. Here was an operation that
needed all his art and skill: to lift this win
dow without sound. But he was an old
hand and windows with ordinary locks were
playthings under his deft touch. He raised
the window, stepped over the sill into The
library, and crouched down. He did not
close the window; house thieves never do.
Presently he stood up. flashed his torch,
found the library shelves, and tiptoed toward
Them. He then selected three or four vol
tunes, opened them at random and laid neat
packages Of money between the leaves 1t
