CHAPTER XIV.
Old Shoes.

S'N SVSSCs
I'm telling you these facts" ooIltin-
ued Haggerty, 80 you won't waste
any time getting down t. cases. Every
move you've made for tn last six
months is jotted down in little book
in my pocket. All want" he added,
taking out small India ink pad and a
square of white paper, "all l want Is
an impression of your thumbs. After
that, why, we can talk. Do you OBJ
ject?'
Not in the least said Crawford
readily. I'm very anxious to know
what all this damned nonsense
means"
He angrily dabbed both thumbs up
on the pad and printed them upon the
square of paper. Through glass
Haggerty very carefully compared the
impression with the treasured photo
graph. His brows bent. All this work
FOR nothing. Haggerty was bitterly
disappointed. The thumb prints were
Identical in none of the essential de-
tails. And yet the trail ended in this
house.
"Mason!" exclaimed Crawford.
Haggerty dashed to the window, out
of it and down the fire escape. He
had the Irishman's Unborn courage and
pride of strength. He never used pow
der when he could use his hands. Only
the murderer, fleeing, knew the deadly
accuracy of his aim. Then he was
better dead than alive; out of reach of
the builyragging attorneys, doddering
insanity experts, tender judges and
purblind juries. Haggerty wanted Mr..
Mason alive. 1t was matter of pride,
aside from the seven thousand dollars
in rewards.
Crawford, Forbes and the girl
pressed about the window; but all
they saw was Haggerty, vanishing out
of the alley-way. They waited, tense
with excitement. Only Forbes knew

Cured to him to explain.
Pistol shots It was only an official
warning for policemen in the vicinity
to be on the lookout for a running
man, anyone who looked suspicious.
The trio remained by the window
for full quarter of an hour, without
exchanging word, scarcely moving.
Presently they saw Haggerty enter
the alley-way. He climbed the fire es-
cape and stepped into the room. He
wore a saturnine expression.
Well, he slipped me; but that's
nothing. He'll never get out of tn
city. But I'm an ornament t. tn Of
fee. For six months I've been so in

gave anybody else a thought"

Good God!" Crawford struck his
forehead "And am the cause of it,"
"Huh?" said Haggerty, startled.
Crawford pointed toward the safes.
Haggerty nodded appreciatively, ran
his glance over the safes and nodded
again. II man could only see two
ways at once!" he mourned, half hu.
morously, half. seriously.

HAMPTON IMPROVEMENTS.
Years Building Operations Not ,Es
tonsive But Substantial.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Jan. 1.-The year just
closed has not been as prolific OF new
buildings and other like improvements
as have some previous seasons. Bad
weather and uncertain crop conditions
may have had something to do with it.
What improvements have been made
in this city, however. have been Of the
very best, and what residences have
been erected are among the finest in
the city.
Easily first in Importance among
new structures should be listed the
new Lutheran hospital, which was
completed last fall and already has at
tanned an enviable reputation for the
work done there. This building cost
approximately $4,000, is s6x126 feet,
and located at the corner formerly oc-
cupied by Hotel Hampton. 1t is a
equipped with the latest and most APP
proved appliances. Many patients are
constantly being cared for. and some
of the most difficult operations known
are being performed.
Among the new residences of the
year should be mentioned those Of r.
M. Harrison, at Sixth and Iowa streets;
Fl. E. Boehmler, Sixth and Franklin,
each being among the most expensive.
modern and finest finished in the city.
D. Wells Mott, also has erected an
elegant new residence east of his other
place on East Fifth street. A fine new
frame pebble dash cottage has been
put up on South Main street near
Seventh, that is one of the finest ex-
amples of the use Of this material in
the city.
The highway on East Fifth street
now crosses the creek on a new
cement bridge structure erected during
the year. This is much more per-
manent and artistic than the old
bridge.

How to Get Out of a MudhoIe.

In the August Womsn's Home Com
panion c. II. Claudy says, "the best driy-
ers sometimes get in mudhole from
which the car refuses to climb. The rear
wheels spin and splatter, but the car
stays still. One remedy is winding the
tires with rope spiral, which acts as
tire chains act. Rope wears out quickly,
but will last long enough to get out Of
a mud wallow. If no rope is available,
throw anything and everything hard into
the hole ahead of the tire. You can also
try unrolling the tool kit and putting
it, tools and all, in front of one rear
wheel The tire which slips in the mud
may get a grip on the tools. The tool
kit will be a muddy sight, but it is bet
ter than staying out on the road half
a day waiting for someone to come along
with a team of horses.
"No matter how new full set of non
skid tires may be, no tour should ever
be undertaken without set of chains.
The best non skid tires won't hold in
Shiny mud, and it's far better to carry
the weight of chains and not use them,
than be without them and wait for
