and placed il under his coat. stuffing
out the pocket on the opposite side
to make it look as symmetrical as he
could.
At the desk he hastily scrawled a
note telling Burke that he was going
around to the tea room and would call
up before taking any further steps.
He had scarcely turned the corner be-
low the Nanderveer when he ran al
most plump into Burke himself.

and seeing no mysterious stranger.

NO. He went around to that con-
founded tea room and went in

ing there, too. and as II was only a
step around here. / thought Id come
back to tell you. What shall we do"
Burke had fallen into Garrick's
stride as he lounged along much like
a sightseer to whom the night life OF
even n side street was interesting.
What did the fellow who was
watching the place say? Has she gone

The sonora? No. But he seems much
excited. There seems to be some kind
of entertainment going on there. he
says. | followed our mysterious friend

Il think I'll just about sit in and
belong-make il regular party"
laughed back GarricR.
Garrick paused on the corner. Down
the street Burke's shadow could be
seen hanging nonchaIantly about in
dim. unlighted part Of the block.

without being watched or seeming to
watch.
Il didn't hear whom he asked for"
continued Burke. as Garrick rejoined
him putting vigorously. but the clerk
repeated the number of the room in
such a way that l could hear ii. II
was the senora's number"

minutes later.

while, have some one else tail that

have to do it yourself. Call me up
here as soon as you get an oppor-
tunity. If I'm not here I'll leave word
what to do
Quickly Garrick rode up again TO
where his boy had left a box which
was quite small, including a dry bat
terry. In the Office he set it up on an
ordinary tripod, much as II it had
been the camera of a travelling photog-
rapher. Inside. however. was a small
tantalum incandescent lamp of pc
culiar shape and arranged so that II
Glowed from the current of the bat
terry. Quickly adjusting the thing, he
attached to il a sort of headpiece.
Then, with n last look to be sure
that everything was all right. he pick

ing them. He spoke to me as he fol-
lowed them out, sir, and told me to
tell you he'd hang on until he could
get chance to call you up"
II suppose there is nothing to do
until we bear from him." said Burke
impatiently. Hes good man-per-
haps he can shadow them better than
even | could. for I'm never sure but
that some of these people know me.
They wouldn't be likely to know him.
for even most of the servants here
don't know who is working for me-
In spite of the fact that il would
in all probability be only a matter
of minutes before they heard from
Burke's shadow. Garrick could scarce
ly restrain his impatience. Charley
had faithfully lowered about the pair,
but had overheard nothing except a
couple of references to some appar-
emily mutual friends. among them a

At last the telephone switchboard

standing near the cigar counter try

later he emerged perspiring from the
booth and rejoined Garrick.

As Garrick entered she rose and ad-

the girl from the mysterious region
above stairs. was of quite a different
type from that which Garrick had
ina gined For one thing, he could not
help noticing her languishing black
eyes, which might in her younger days
well have belonged to a Spanish dane
ing girl Yet at the same time there
was something shrewd and sharp
about them, as il the owner had an
eye to the main chance whether II
were n business deal or a romance.
Garrick bowed low.
Il am going to give dinner TO
some friends of mine, mostly English
men. who are interested In Mexico,
he explained glibly. I've heard a
great deal of your cooking here, Sc
nora, OF your chilis and tortillas and
frijoles. I am sure that you can give
Mexican tinge to the dinner-and
I'll engage that IL won't be any cheap

Garrick. Some one is going to spot
that man. I'm going into that tea
room. and as soon as | do l want you
to withdraw him and go back to your
office You'll find that | have ar
ranged a little surprise up there for
you In the middle of the floor there
is something that looks very much
like a camera on a tripod. except that
instead of a black cloth to throw

Burke?
Absolutely. Garrick." replied Burke,
as the two parted.
A minute later Garrick sauntered
into the little Mexican tea room and
curio shop. II was an old three story,
brownstone house which had been al
tered with the uptown shift of trade,
and now in the basement had the APP
pearance of a cheap restaurant.

and his shadow had seen several peo-

One remarkable feature was the fact
that neither pitcher issued a pass in

ANNAPOLIS SHIVERED IN
CHILLY NORTHEAST BLASTS.
Gale Set in Late Yesterday Afternoon
and Confined Through the

All Annapolis has been shivering in
the chilly winds that blew in from the
north-northeast late yesterday after
noon. and continued throughout the
night and the greater portion OF the
day. Early this morning the temper
ature ranged between 40 and 45 de-
grees at different places about the city.
The gale reached a velocity of thirty
miles or more an hour II was a
wind of he cold and marrow-chilling
kind. and set up howl all through the
night. II was rough night on the
bay, although no serious damages to
shipping have been reported.
Two enlisted men of the crew OF the
battieship Missouri. at anchor in the
bay, fell overheard while returning to
the ship late last night. it is reported.
but were rescued by their comrades.
Several small limbs were snapped
off shade trees in different parts Of the
city Winter wraps that had been
packd away weeks ago. were mustered
out of trunks, and heavy blankets were
none too comfortable But altogether.
it was a delightful night for sleeping.
Entirely unexpected came the wind.
and heavy clouds that hung over the
city in forecast of rainy and cold day
were driven away From breaks and
riffs the moon shone forth, and the To-
cal weather man after aking his obser-
vations, said that he would change his
forecast OF the afternoon, which called
for unsettled and colder weather. The
temperature. he said. would today
equal that of yesterday. when the mer-
curry climbed up to the S0-degree
mark at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon.
But that figure was not reached by
dozen points on the tube.
Last nights wind came with a rush.
Windows that did not fit perfectly rat
tied away for hours, or until the occu-
pants of the house mufTied them with
folded papers. On the street il was
unpleasant and savored of real wintry
weather. Dust and dirt was swirled
around and around and hurled in the
eyes of pedestrians.
