the trees | could barely distinguish
black moving form, and, watching it sew
eral moments made out that it was trend
ing in our direction.
Seems to be coming this way l whis-
tered. "We'd better get back" And we
retreated to the shelter of the trelis.
The rasping of the leaves grew louder.
Sounds like more than one," said
Tai. But from the trcllis we could not
see beyond the wall.
Then, gradually, we made out a new
sound, indefinable at first, but soon-un-
mistakably -sobbing.
"It's woman!"
TT was two women. One appeared
through the hedge and turned to help the
second through. In the dark they showed
as shadowy, skirted forms, with wells or
shawls about their heads. As they
crossed to the house it was evident that
the sobbing came from only one of them,
the taller and slighter of the two. Her
companion seemed to support her some
what, murmuring inarticulate, soothing
sounds. In a few minutes they had dis
appeared through back door into the
house.
whats up, do you think?' l ques-
toned of Tai under my breath
His answer was warning hiss and
jerk of his head toward the woods. "There
are more coming he breathed.
1t was true. | again heard the rustling
of the dry leaves, but nothing else.
They were men this time, two of them.
The first, tall, slim shadow, stepped
through the hedge and took several rapid
strides toward the house, then, stopping
abruptly waited. The second man now
came through, and reaching back, drew
after him something could not distin-
guish, but which made metallic scraping
sound as it struck the stone wall.
"See that I'm all right for gasolene,
Higgs, said the waiting man; and at the
voice felt Tai start. had queer sem
sation, too; for the voice was that of the
man of the limousine.
ayes, sir" said Higgs, and touched his
cap. "Beg pardon, Master Herbert, but
is the young lady to go back with your"
mo; she'll stop here for a few days,
till she's calmer. It'll be safe enough.
Nobody will think of looking here"
ayes, sir"
Farnham-fOr, OF course, 1T was he
entered tho house, and Higgs came on
toward the trellis. We sank from our
crouching position, and lay prone, hardly
breathing The mans heavy tread
came nearer, fell loudly on the concrete
driveway, then in a tense moment passed.
He must have dragged the metallic OBJ
ject, for it made harsh sound on the
concrete. As he went by felt something
strike softly against my hat-something
thought was pebble. gulped at the
impact, for it seemed to me like loud
thud, though it was probably all but
soundless.
On went Higgs around the corner of the
garage, and next we heard the grind of a
hinge, as of door opening.
"Now's our chance!" said Tai; and
before l realized what he meant he was
on his feet, running across the lawn toward
the far side of the house. 1t looked like
madness, but followed, and we had the
luck of the daring. The soft lawn was
clear of leaves, and we made the run noise
lessly; and the instant we rounded the
corner of tho house VIC saw our quarry

Farnham, and the other was probably,
Mrs. Higgs-she must have been around
somewhere. Then where does Miss Hoyt
come in? But suppose you think Farm

her."
"The idea doesn't strike me as amusing,
Dick" he said severely, because | had
grinned.

II don't see why"
longed to disabuse his mind of its
wild notions-to tell him that Miss Hoyt
was in New York, alive and we'll. Recall
ing her laughing face and merry good-by,
it was impossible to connect her with any
thing grisly. And our nights adventure
was grisly, had to admit.
"The limousine evidently belongs to
Miss Wilmington, of the Kensington,"
remarked, to change the subject. Ever
hear of her?"
mo. But the Kensington Hotel is at
Fifth Avenue and Fiftieth Street, oppo-
site the Cathedral-the corner where Miss
Hoyt was last seen."
He said this impressively, but was not
impressed. knew that was not the place
she had been seen last.
"The blond may be Miss Wilmington"
l suggested.
Perhaps. 1t ought to be fairly easy to
find out But what want to know is:
who was the person we heard grooming?
Whose blood is on that handkerchief?
What was Higgs doing with spade and
pick? Why was that woman crying?"
"NOt because she had committed MUIR
der, you may be sure"
"She was hysterical Didn't Farnham
say she had better stay there until she
was calmer? Why? What's he afraid

"Oh, you have? Well, you'll stay alone!
I'm going back to New York on the first
train and get bath and some sleep.
I've got very important engagement

Thought you were all through with
your business"
"This isn't business"
"Oh-excuse mel"
"That's all right. I don't mind telling
you about tiff you'll promise to keep

He looked at me expectantly, and
chuckled.
am going to tea at l6 East SOth Street
with Miss Roberta Hoyt."
Il must say" he growled, after a dis
gusted frown, "that you've got darned
queer sense of humor!"
A TRAIN came along after bit and
picked us up. We slept all the way to
town, and on arriving got breakfast at a
restaurant near the station and looked
over the morning papers. There was q
bunch of them, but the accounts of Miss
Hoyt's disappearance were all practically
Identical.
Passing from one to another and from
column to column of print, thought
again Of that little tea-party of the after
noon before, and it seemed to have re-
ceded suddenly into the remote past.
Then she had been just lovely girl, the
loveliest had ever seen, and had looked
forward eagerly to seeing her again and

could not see what it was in the dark,
but my fingers told me it was small
leather case, flexible and smooth, with
cards inside.
"Let's have the light minute" said,
keen for look at the cards.
As spoke he stepped back against me
with startled movement.
"What is it?" | asked. But on the in
slant there came the sound of steps on the
driveway, and, closing the car, we crept
round to the front of the house.
The steps-it was Higgs-came nearer;
then we heard the car rolling over the
driveway to the rear for gasolene proba-
bly,. After little it returned, passed our
hiding-place, and went on to the gate,
where it stopped. Higgs climbed down,
opened the gate, closed it after the car,
and then we heard his heavy tramp back
to the door at the rear of the house. As
the door slammed we ventured from
cover.
Cautiously we made our way around to
the lighted windows, meaning to try for
peep through that unscreened gap in the
first one. But, to Tails chagrin, the shade
had been lowered. Nevertheless, we stole
up to it and listened. From within came
the sobbing, sobbing we had heard before.
No other sound. Creeping back, we lis
tened at the other lighted windows. All
we could hear was the sibilant noise of
whispering. Round to the door we made
our way, but it was locked.
mo use hanging round any longer"
said Tai, and we were soon out in the
road, making tracks for the village.
"Well?" said l.
He made no reply, and we went on in
silence until we reached the Martin lodge.
There, unable to resist my curiosity any
longer, stopped and, under the light of
the gate lamps, examined the leather case.
1t was lady's card-case of fine black
leather, lined with satin and the cards it
held were all engraved alike:

who took it mechanically.
"Where did that mud come from?" He
was staring at my hat

He held his hand to the light. There
was yellow smear across the back.

He paused and rubbed his sleeve hard
against the yellow smear, then glanced
down at the Redeemed flesh.
@There's a new grave somewhere in
those woods, Dick" he said slowly, with
out looking at me.
"What!"

He drew from his pocket handker-

but badly stained.

New York, May 1-Opening: Labor troubles probably contributed to the irregular trend of prices on the re- sumption of trading in stocks today although advances far exceeded de- clines both as to numbers and extent. Mercantile Marines were again the central features, the preferred and common soon rising to new recover1es, U. s. Steel some of the prominent specialties and such rails at Reading and Erie were higher by fractions to point. Baldwin Locomotive was the only heavy feature, yielding point with minor recessions in Mexican Pe- troIeum, American Smelting/ and a few less conspicuous stocks.
 Noon: Baldwin speedily made up it's loss, likewise MeXicans but the movement in other quarters of the list became more confusing;- Distillers se- curities losing almost three points with heaviness in Industrial Alcohol. Demand for Marines abated percep- tib1y and, though subject to cont1nu- ous profit taking, the issue yielded but little. Trading quickened later, the entire list responding to an in quiry for distinctive war shares, chiefly Crucible. Studebaker and other industrials of the same class, with> gains of one to three points. Rails were only moderately active but higher Bonds were steady.

Now, the Mustero1e Go. of Cleveland, has in stalled the most complete plant for the production of synthetic mustard oil This is the only plant of it's, kind in the United States and the largest of it's kind in the world.

preventing a rupture at the present
 time, especially as it is for the mutual interest of both nations to continue peaceful relations. Developments in Mexico, though not entirely satisfac- tory have not thus far been of a, dis turbing nature. The next most im- portant problem is the labor situation which, however, promises to be ad- justed by wage concessions. The Presidential campaign is running ahead under full steam, but quietly and rather smoothly in spite of the fact that the conventions are only now a few weeks distant. Home trade is still active. Railroad earnings tes- fly to the activity in transportation. Steel mills are running at record breaking rate, having orders for l. 6OO,OOO tons of rails and 100000 tons of steel plates and shapes for 1917. Cotton mills are well supplied with or ders; in fact the whole industria1 fab ric continues at high speed, and the cessation of intuition orders, if that were probable, would not at this time mean any serious contraction of busi- ness.
 Home conditions warrant a, better stock market, but as long as the situa- ton is so seriously exposed to shocks resulting, from the war, it will be un- safe to, depart from the present policy of caution and day-by-day operations. The latest reports of railroad earnings have been particularly encouraging, and backed by more favorable runors from Germany a good trade outlook, and the buying of considerable short interest. explained the strength which developed on Thursday.
