It has many pretty cottages built in the
groves and reminds one little of a summer
resort. 1t will probably look different as
winter comes on.

1t is easy to see the enormous work that
has already been done in starting the rail-
road. The loWlands, which are to be used
for government terminals, were a dense
forest carpeted with arctic moss which in
places was several feet deep. The trees had
to be cut and the stumps taken out. The
moss was burned away and the ground
smoothed up for the tracks and the build
ings. The whole of this section is now COW
cred with tracks There are great piles Of
lumber standing about here and there Ties
are laid up like cord wood and there are
steel beams and rafters and all sorts of
structural material There are piles of steel
rails The machinery from Panama has be-
gun to arrive and locomotives and steam
shovels are standing about. A great deal of
dredging will have to be done to make the
harbot fit for the railroad, and some Of the
Panama dredges will probably be brought
to Ship creek.
There are number OF government build
ings on this lowland. All are of tempo

Offices of the commission are in mean little

gained the top, each indicating pause
and wait of several GREATNESS sec

But it would seem that such serv-
ants as had been left in the house,
in the absence of its 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 magnifcence.
Here the girl was left alone for a
few minutes, while Lanyard darted

of the state bedchambers and servants
quarters.

! 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 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 effluvia 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
fiash-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 ightless 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 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 fight of steps at the farther end.
To this they moved stealthily 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

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
Hghtless 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,

Lanyard paused definitely and spoke

since their departure from the Rue des

CHAPTER XIX
IA Route.

XII t1OQlOs
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 dociIity 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

away as soon as he liked.
This last was just as speedily as per-

with respect to his utomobile-super-

| powerful engine hidden beneath its
hood. A car of such a character, pass

what Paris calls a voiture de remise
"a hackney car without taximeter-
was a tremendous convenience, en-
abling its proprietor to scurry at will
about cab-ridden Paris without excit-
| ing comment; but it couldn't be left
standing in public places at odd hours,
or for long, without attracting the in
terest of the police, and so was useless
| to Lanyard at present. But he
entertained a shrewd suspicion that
his plans might all miscarry and
the command of fast-traveling
car ere long become a necessity
to his salvation, so he cheer
