He put his palms to his chest and

1t seemed TO have 4 miraculous effect.

Mr.. Tcetcrs trailed in silence after

tapped on the door. 1t was opened
by girl in cap and apron-a comely
young person who stepped out into
the passage and pulled the door to
behind her. She scanned them criti-
cally a moment before giving them
welcome.
Mr.. Carter? Mr.. Teeters?" she
then inquired.
CHARLEY smiled at her. A pretty
woman always stirred him.

The girl smiled back at him.

She turned the knob and preceded

in the guarded tones of the sick
chamber.
The invalid was reclining in a
steam chair over which a rug had
been thrown. A table stood near,
and on it was a box Of Flemish oak
which looked like humidor for SOS
and, in fact, was one.
Good! Goodw Mr.. Hogg cried
out in husky voice. I'm glad you
came. Pm in a devil of fix, as you
can see" He was a short, square
MIN, with deep chest, and long
arms with hairy hands that hung
down like an apes.
All this time he had been sizing
up the young men with a pair OF lit
tie, yellowish eyes. Now he held out
his hand to Charley.

He turned the key in the box and lifted
the lid. 4 wire-gauze screen in a wooden
framework was fitted into the box like a
tray. Underneath was a lining of clean
white blotting paper, and crawling around
on the bottom were the fleas.
Charley gave a cry.
"Why-I say-they're blue"
Mr.. Teeters sprang up from the sofa

peered at the insects. One of them
jumped.

Funny" said Charley to Mr.. Hogg.
Never heard of blue flea before" He
was intently watching the little animals.
"Of course you haven't" rejoined the
invalid. And no one else till I caught 'em
except a sailor who found one on a
dugong and told me about 1t. He's dead
now-the sailor chap"
"Doo- gong?" put in Mr.. Teeters from
the sofa. whats that? Anything like a

There was a subtle change in his atti-
tude toward the afflicted man.
It's like this pursued Mr.. Hogg. a
chap named Nuckels is trying to rob me
of my feas. He's made two attempts, and
he'll try again. It's business trouble

He swallowed once or twice and put
his hand to his heart.

ITO get down to business. / want you to
keep my fieas for me. Mr.. Carter. And

, bring them to me. Will you do it,"
Charley hesitated He appeared to be
considering the matter.
But I'll pay you like a prince, Ten
thousand dollars. BY heavens. sir. you
can't turn 1t down.
Charley's features relaxed-broke into
a grin.
Go you he said. Cant stand the
pressure
Mr.. Hogg took the moistening pad from
the lid of the humidor.
