tiously along toward the cave AS
suring himself once again that the pis-
toll lay in his pocket, he fumbIed for
the lever which opened the door, found
it, depressed it and stepped quietly
forward in his slippered feet.
The unmistakable odor of the place
assaulted his nostrils. All was in dark
ness, and absolute silence prevailed.
He had a rough idea of the positions
of the various little tables, and he
stepped cautiously in order to skirt
them, but evidently he had made a
miscalculation. Something caught his
foot, and with a muffied thud he
sprawled upon the floor, barely miss
ing one of the tables which he had
been at such pains to avoid.
Trembling like man with an ague,
be lay there, breathing in short, STAG
cato breaths and clutching the pistol
in his pocket. Certainly he had made
no great noise, but
Nothing stirred.
Soames summoned up courage to
rise and to approach again the door Of
Block A. Without further mishap he
reached it, opened it and entered the
blackness Of the corridor. He could
make no mistake in regard to the door,
for it was the end one. He stole quiet
ly along, his fingers touching the mat
ting, until he came in contact with
the corner angle; then, feeling along
from the wall until he touched the
strip of bamboo which marked the end
of the door. he probed about gently
with the key, for he knew to within an
inch or so where the keyhole was sit
uated.
All, he had it! His hand trembling
slightly, he sought to insert the key
in the lock. 1t defed his efforts. He
felt it gently with the fingers of his
left hand, thinking that he might have
been endeavoring to insert the key
with the irregular edge downward and
not uppermost. But, no; suchgwas not
the case.
Again he tried, and with no better
result. His nerves were threatening
to overcome him now. He had not
counted upon any such hitch as this.
But fear sharpened his wits. He rec
objected the fall which he had sustain
ed and how he had been precipitated
upon the polished floor outside.
Could he have mistaken his direc-
ton? Was it not possible that owing
to his momentary panic he had arisen,
facing not the door at the foot of the
steps, as he had supposed, but that by
which a moment earlier he had en-
tered the cave Of the golden dragon?
Desperation was with him now. He
was gone too far to draw back. Trail
ing his fingers along the mating COW
ering of the wall, he retraced his steps,
came to the open door and re-entered
the apartment of the dragon. He COM
plimented himself fearfully upon his
own address, for he was inspired with
an idea whereby he might determine
his position. Picking his way among
the little tables and the silken otto
mans, he CROPPED about with his hands
in the impenetrable darkness for the
pedestal supporting the dragon. At
last his fingers touched the ivory. He
slid them downward. feeling for the
great vase Of peoples which always
stood before the golden image.
The vase was on the LETT 60 not on

arose noiselessly and looked about him.
He was undecided what to do when
Two shots, followed by most ap-
,palling shrek, the more frightful be-
cause it was muf1led-the shrek of a
man in extremis, of one who stands
upon the brink Of eternity brought
him up rigid, tense, with fists clenched,
with eyes glaring, wrought within this
fearless investigator an emotion akin
to terror.
Just that one grewsome cry there
was and silence again.
What did it mean?

of books and roses-in the haunt Of
Mr.. Kingl
A great clarity Of mind came to him
as it comes to a drowning man; he
knew that those endless passages,
through which once he had been led
in darkness, did not exist; that he had
been deceived, had been guided along
the same corridor again and again; he
knew that this room of roses did not
lie at the heart of a labyrinth, but al
most adjoined the cave Of the golden
dragon.
He knew that he was a poor, blind
fool; that his plotting had been known
to those whom he had thought to be-
tray; that the new key which had
opened a way into this place Of dread
was not the key which his accomplice
had given him. He knew that that
upon which he had tripped at the out
set of his journey had been set in his
path by Ginning design in order that
the fall might confuse his sense of di-
rection. He knew that the great vase
of peoples had been moved that night.
furnace!
There before him upstood the san
dalWoOd screen, with one corner of the
table projecting beyond it. Nothing
of life was visible in the perfumed
place, where deathly silence prevailed.
No lion has greater courage than
cornered rat Soames plucked the pis
toll from his pocket and fired at the
screen-once-tWice!
He heard the muffled report, saw the
fash of the little weapon, saw the two
holes in the carved woodwork and
gained a greater, hysterical courage
the courage Of a towards desperation.
Immediately before him was little
ebony table. bearing a silver bowl,
laden to the brim with sulphur cOlored
roses. He overturned the table with
his foot, laughing wildly. In three
strides he leaped across the room,
grasped the sandalwood screen and
hurled it to the floor.
In the instant of it's fall he became
as Lots wife The pistol dropped from
his nerveless grasp, thudding gently
on the carpet, and, with his fingers
crooked paralytically, he stood sway
ing-and looking into the face of Mr..
King!
Soames' body already was as rigid
as it would be in death. His mind was
numbed, useless. But his outraged
soul forced utterance from the lips of
the man.
A scream, a scream to have made
the angels shudder, to have inspired
pity in the devils of hell, burst from
him. Two yellow hands leaped at his
throat.
M. CASTOR Max from his silken bed
in the catacombs of HO Pin watched
the hand of his watch, which lay upon
the little table beside him. Already it
was past o'clock, and no sign had
come from Soames. A hundred times
his imagination had almost trjcked
him into believing that the door was
opening, but always the idea had been
illusory and due to the purple shadow
Of the lamp shade which overcast thai
side of the room and the door.
A key in tile lock! Yes, a key was
being inserted in the lock! He must
take no unnecessary risks; it might be
another than Soames. He waited.
The faint sound of fumbling ceased.
Still he waited. listening intently.
Half past 2. If it had been Soames
why had he withdrawn? NJ. Max

HALIFAX DISASTER-HOW 1T
HAPPENED.

Halifax, n. s., Dec. 10.-Members Of
the crew Of the Belgian steamer limo
assert that the French munitions
steamer Mont Blanc was to blame for
the collision which caused the terrible
explosion last Thursday. Their YER
sion of the tragedy follows:
The limo was proceeding down the
harbor toward the sea when the Mont
Blanc was seen coming toward her.
apparently steaming for the Bedford
basin. The French vessel was OH the
Dartmouth side Of the narrowS. She
blew two blasts Of the whistle, indicat-
ing that she was going to %starboard.
The limo replied with two blasts. The
Mont Blanc turned and the crew Of the
limo thought they could pass In safety,
but the distance between the two YES
sells was too short and the limo rammed
the Mont Blanc on the starboard side.
After they separated the Mont Blanc
headed for one Of the city piers. The
seamen received their first warning Of
danger when they saw chemical flames
leaping from the decks OF the Mont
Blanc. Then came the explosion. The
limo was caught in the tidal wave and
riding on its crest was hurled on the
rocky beach.
The captain was standing on the
bridge and his head was blown off.
The wheelSman was at his post and
his body was found in that position
when the steamer was examined later.
The body of the pilot, William Hayes,
was found alongside the shore near
the hulk, and 1t is thought he was
blown from the deck. Every man
above the deck was killed.
When the vessel struck the beach the
survivors rushed up from beneath
decks and scrambled ashore. Thirty
"a men escaped. Naval relief parties

TENT CITY RISES FAST
FOR VETERANS HOST
Confederates Will See Vast Contrast
Between Old and New.

: The great tent city for Confederate vet
Grams who will soon arrive in washing
ton for their twenty-seventh annual re-
union next week will be nearly completed
today.
Great will be the contrast between the
Dig clean, well-equipped camp on the
Union Station plaza and the war camps
which the veterans knew in the days Of
81.
In place Of candles or the reflected light
OF the campfres, there will be numerous
electric incandescents, lighting not only
the streets Of the camp but the tents
themselves.
The tents will have dry wooden floors.
Running water will be convenient. The
blankets will be large and warm. The
cots VIII have soft cotton mattresses.
Twenty of the big cook stoves arrived
