sides the great painter there were Ed

ate there, too, and Theodore Pell, who
came in at salad.time, and abssnt-
mindedly ate it all. while he told Of

Poll, had made out Of 1t. And as was
the custom OF the house. when the
coffee cups had been drained for the
second time. Bell MilIigan made them

and before long the guests would be-

Bell wore a yellow costume with
sparkling things on II, and ornaments
OF the same sort across her forehead.

CHAPTER XVII.
And COMMENCEMENT

| WHIT Ell ANtlts
And counterplota
When Pedro and Sam Hill separated
on the night Of their Jersey adventure,
the latter made straight for Jones
street. accompanied by Beau,Jean, and
upon reaching the refuge of the rear
tenement tnmbled into bed without
more ado. and for seven hours slept
the sleep Of the Just, his head upon
an improvised pillow of quilting be-.
meath which his hand grasped the pre-
cious document that Iris, as he thought,
had sent him.
Very possibly his repose would have
continued for much longer period.
had It not been for the activity Of Gun
eyiere and Hermania in the room i'm
mediately below. These ladies, their
household duties, as usual. entirely
neglected. were loudly applauding Old
Nita's efforts to instruct Koko in 4
new accomplishment; namely, to use
as cymbals the lids Of two fish kettles
strapped to his front paws.
Now the clash of cymbals, no mat
ter how amateurish and uncertain the
performers efforts. is not conducive
to slumber. to say the least Of 1t; and,
therefore, with a groan Of protest,
Sam returned to consciousness of all
that had befallen him. and all that
was yet to be undertaken. While he
washed and shaved he pondered deeply
upon how he should set about getting
the information that Iris desired. As
he drew on his boots he still won
dered, and uncertainty did not cease
with the knotting of the silk bandanna
about his throat. But at about this
poNt hunger began to distract his at
tention, and so, deciding that he
would be able to think more collect
edly upon a full stomach, he descend
ed to the fiat below and demanded to
be fed.
Koko dropped to his allfours at this
intrusion, glad to be rid OF the encum-

Well" said Rico, IF you say 1t is
good. it must be so. We win find q
priest If you agree. Anna"
I've no objections" replied Anna;
and so 1t was arranged.
Leaving them to discuss the idea,
Hill fell to planning how best to ap-
proach Vanderpool. Why not go direct
to him at his Office? Preposterous as
the notion seemed at first. the more he
thought upon It, the more plausible 1t
appeared. Was there not as good a
chance Of finding out the truth in this
manner as In any other? vanderpool
had agreed to his (Hill's) incarceration,
It was true, but the reasons for so
doing were strong. and his objections
had been overruled by the rest of the
gang with whom the asphalt magnate
had appeared to be associated. At any
rate. 1t was worth trying. Vanderpool
was aware OF the knowledge which he
tHilD possessed, and under any cir
cumstances the latter would be work
Ing under search-light, so to speak.
the moment his escape was discovered
On the whole, the notion seemed a
good one, for by It's execution nothing
could be lost. while. much might be
gained.
And ! think" he said aloud, "that
] shall take Mr. Jones: he will make
me more conspicuous and, conse-
quently. safer"
What's thatY Queried Nita.
Merely that / am going out now,
mother" responded Hill. rising forth
with.
Out from the dimness and dirt of
the back tenement, from the low
rooted houses, degraded mansions of
an earlier day, out from the muck
and sQualor, the slush and CRIME of
unswept Greenwich into the roaring
canyon of commerce to the east, went
Hill, the little brown bear tagging
after. and joining with his master the
river of humanity that swept between
the towering cliffs OF granite on either
hand; the strange. incomprehensibl
towers. which stretched UP, up. higher
than one at their feet could see. at a
single glance. any more than he could
grasp their Significance with single
thought. Before one of these build
Ing Hill paused. and assuring himself
that 1t was that which he sought, be-
gan maneuvers to gain admittance.
At first there was difficulty with the
door-keepers on Mr.. Jones account.
but they were successfully persuaded.
and he passed them only to be halked
by the elevator man. There was more
protest than that Of the uniformed ON
cial to cope with. for Mr.. Jones fatty
refused to enter the car. and in the
end Hill was obliged to leave aim In
charge OF half.delighted. half.fright-
ened porter.
