his rubber-soled shoes toward the
home of Mother Defarge.
1t proved to be tiny detached cot
tage, surrounded by heavy shrubbery.
Jimmy, lurking in the shadows a few
houses away, saw a man sneak up
cautiously and enter the gateway. He
waited until he was sure that his man
must have entered and then he made
running leap that carried him over
the shrubbery at one side of the cot
tage. For Il moment he crouched in
silence. then he crept along close to
the cottage. Kneeling on the thick
carpet of grass which ran up to the
cottage, he managed to peek in and
get view of the meanly furnished liv-
ing room.
1t was lighted by kerosene lamp,
which cast sinister shadows over the
ugly little room. At one side of the
table sat wrlnkled old hag with u
heavy stick, on which she was leaning.
Across from her there was chair
drawn close with that air of expec-
fancy which inanimate things some
times seem to take on. The old wom-
an reached over and patted gun ly-
ing near her on the table.
Then she turned with an evil smile
to greet someone coming up through
the trapdoor ut one side of the room
and who blew out lighted candle d.
rectly he got into the glare of the
lamplight.
In the clatter of greeting and quick
question and answer which took place
Jimmy ventured to push the window
open few inches. Then he put his
ear to the little opening.
Fortune was decidedly with Jimmy,
for "Silent Sam" evidently felt that
his mother ought to get glimpse of
whatever had taken him down into
the basement. He led her over to the
trap and guided her down step or
| two, and in that little interval Jimmy
managed to push the window up, climb
through it, close it again, and rush
over to hiding place back of the cur
tains which screened an alcove from
the living room.
"Well, nom, that guys a ringer for
me all right-ain't her" asked Sam.
The hag grinned affectionately at
