Worthless Dog-Dead Sheep

The Selectmen were called to the farm
of Jimmie Rock in the west part of town
Sunday afternoon to investigate the
work of an unknown dog among MIR.
Rocks flock of 46 sheep. They found
three killed and eight badly bitten, with
the possibility that four more may die.
A yellow dog was seen at a distance in
the vicinity but beyond this nothing has
been learned by the authorities as to its
idenity. This is the first case reported
this year bat there were several focks
attacked last season and some damage
done in the same vicinity.

The Pack has forbidden the buyers to

refuses alliance with them. On his re-
turn to his room he is attacked in the

40 money Lucia is obliged to take refuge
with Lanyard in the studio of an absent
artist friend of his. He locks her IN a
room alone. After sleep Lanyard finds
his viewpoint changed. He tells Lucia
who he is. Mutual confessions follow.
She is Lucy Shannon, not Bannon, and
has been used as a tool by Bannop, the

CHAPTER XIX
En- Route.

En- Route.
For all the success that had ostensi-
bly, rewarded his effrontery, Lanyard's
mind was far from easy during that
hour which he devoted to lodging,
ducking, and doubling across Paris and
back again before attempting to rejoin
Lucy Shannon. He hoped to confuse
and confound any jackals of the Pack
that might have picked up his trail as
adventitiously as Ekstrom had.
His delight, indeed, in discountenanc-
ing his dupe and enemy was quite
chilled by an apprehension that it
were madness, simply because the spy
had proved Unexpectedly tractable, to
consider the Ekstrom affair closed. In
the very fact of that docility inhered
something strange and ominous, con-
temptation of which distilled a potent
premonition of evil hardly mitigated
by Lanyard's relief on finding the girl
awaiting him, as per program, safe and
sound under the wing of madame la
concierge, in the little court of private
stables wherein he rented space for
his car, off the Rue des Acacias.
Monsieur le concierge, it appeared,
was from home, and madame, thick
witted, warm-hearted, simple body that
she was, discovered a phase Of beam

the three posterns that pierced the
walls on the side streets one only was
in general use by the servants of the
establishment; the other two were
presumed to be permanently sealed.
Lanyard, however, knew better.
When they had turned off from the
avenue he slackened pace and moved
at caution, examining the prospect
narrowly.
On the one hand he had the wall of
the private park. topped by naked,
soughing limbs of neglected trees. On
the other, across the way, block of
tall old buildings, withdrawn behind
jealous garden walls, showing-at that
hour at least-stupid, sleepy faces and
lightless eyes to passers-by.
Within the perspective of the street
but three shapes stirred-Lanyard and
the girl in the shadow of the wall, and
disconsolate, misprized cat that
promptly on their appearance vanished
like terror-stricken ghost.
Overhead the sky was breaking,

stars through a wind-harried wrack of
cloud. The night had grown sensibly
colder and noisy with the rushing
sweep of a new-sprung wind.
Several yards from the postern-gate
Lanyard paused definitely and spoke
for the first time in many minutes, for
the knowledge of their errand's gray
ity had oppressed the spirits of both
and enjoined an unnatural silence ever
since their departure from the Rue des
Acacias.
"This is where we STOP" he said
with jerk of his head toward the
wall; "but-it's not too late"
"We're wasting time," she returned
steadily.
Without further remonstrance, ii
with a mind beset with misgivings, he
led ON to the gate, a blank door Of wood

this, no less than three hideous squeals
of protest were evoked before they
gained the top, each indicating pause
and a wait of several breathless Sec
onds.
But it would seem that such serv-
ants as had been left in the house,
in the absence of it's chatelaine. either
slept soundly or were accustomed to
discount the midnight concert of those
age-old timbers; and without mis-
chance, at length, through swinging
door they entered the main reception
hall, revealed by the dancing spotlight
as room of noble proportions and fur
nished with somber magnificence.
Here the girl was left alone for a
few minutes, while Lanyard darted
abovestairs for rapid reconnaissance
of the state bedchambers and servants
quarters.

about and marched straight to the
kiosk of the underground railway. into
which. without one backward glance,
he disappeared.
Two minutes later the earth Quaked
beneath Lanyard's feet with the crash
and rumble of north-bound train.
He waited three minutes longer; but
Ekstrom didn't reappear; and at
length, convinced that his warning had
proved effectual, Lanyard turned and
made off.

painted dark green, deeply recessed
in the thickness of the wall
In support of his promise that he
had made every preparation to attack
the premises before the sudden depar-
ture of Madam Omber for England,
Lanyard had a key ready and in the
lock almost before they reached it.
And the door swung on well-greased
hinges. AS silently it shut them in.
Beyond the fact that they stood upon
a weed-grown gravel path, hedged
about with thick masses of shrubbery,
the girl was unable to make much of
the general aspect of their surround
ings. The park was as black as a
pocket, and the heavy eff1uvia of wet
mold, decaying weeds and rotting
leaves that choked the air seemed only
to render the murk still thicker.
But Lanyard evidently knew his
way blindfold; though motives of pru-
dence babe him refrain from using his
flash-lamp, there wasn't the least un-
certainty in his actions. Never once
at loss for the right turning, he piloted
the girl swiftly through bewildering
black labyrinth Of paths and lawns
and thickets.
In due course he pulled up and she
saw that they had come out into a
clear space of lawn and stood close be-
side the featureless, looming bulk of
a hghtless building.
His grasp frightened, admonitory,
upon her fingers, and she caught his
curiously penetrating yet guarded
whisper:
"This is the back of the house-the
service entrance. From this door a
broad path runs straight to the main
service gateway; you can't mistake it;
and the gate itself has spring lock,
easy enough to open from the inside.
Remember this in event of trouble. We
might become separated in the dark
ness and confusion"
Gently returning the pressure, Il un-
derstand," she said in a whisper.
Immediately he drew her on to the
house, pausing but momentarily before
a wide doorway, one-half Of which
promptly swung open and, as soon as
they had passed through, closed with
no perceptible jar or click. And then
Lanyard's fiash-lamp was lancing the
gloom on every hand, swiftly raking
the bounds of a large, paneled serv-
ants hall, until it picked out the foot
of a fight OF steps at the farther end.
To this they moved stealthfly over q
tiled flooring.
The ascent of the staircase was &C.
complished, however, only with infinite
care, Lanyard testing each rise before
trusting it with his weight or the girls.
Twice he babe her skip one step lest
the ancient woodwork betray them
with its complaints. In spite Of ell

to Lanyard at present. But he
entertained shrewd suspicion that
his plans might all miscarry and
the command Of a fast-traveling
car ere long become a necessity
to his salvation, so he cheer
fully devoted a fair half-hour to
putting the motor in prime trim for
the road.
With this accomplishment the
fact established through discreet, OBJ
lique interrogation of madame la con.

were normal; that no inquiries had
been made after the whereabouts OF
Pierre Lamier, and no strange or other
wise questionable characters had been
seen lettering in the neighborhood OF

step toward rehabilitation.
Thus it was past one in the morning

crossed the Avenue de la Grande Ar
NEE, and thereafter avoiding main
travelled highways, struck southwark
through tangled side streets to the
aristocratic quarter Of Passy.
Here, skirting the boulevards OF the
Notifications, they approached the pri-
vate park of La Muette.
The home of that wealthy and ami
able eccentric, Nine. Helene Omber,
was a souvenir of those days when
Passy had been suburban. A survival
of the revolution, vast, dour pile that
had known few changes since the days
of it's construction, it occupied a large,
unkempt park, irregularly triangular
in shape, bounded by two streets and
an avenue, and rendered private by
high walls crowned with broken glass.
Carriage-gates opened on the avenue,
guarded by porter's lodge. while OF

TLOVE my dolly even If 1t is old"

my Grandmother gave 1t to me
ages and ages ago, when l was hardly
born, and l have played with it ever
since"
And how old are you now?" asked
her aunt
Seven on my next birthday. Then
Mamma is going to get me a new one
that is made of bisque, and can open
and shut its eyes"
Let me look at your dolly again."
said the aunt, II would not call it
very old. Six years is short time.
Don't you think SO, dear?"
Laura Stokes had her doll just a
week when she broke 1t, and Mary,
her cousins doll, lost an eye and a
leg before the month was over. I'm
considered a careful little mother"
said Polly with pride in her voice.
What would you say if I told you
that l saw doll that was over two
thousand years old?" asked the aunt.
Polly didn't say anything, she just
gasped.
The aunt went on: Yes 1t was at
least as old as that, and it came all
the way from Egypt"
Where did you see it?" asked
Polly.
I'm the British Museum in London.
