Barnes, left to his own devices,
wandered from taproom to porch,
from porch to forge, from forge to
taproom, his brain far more active
than his legs, his heart as heavy as
lead and as light as air by turns.
More than once he felt like resorting

from Harris Tavern were among those

Sprouse did not appear Mt the Tav-

cret agent listened somewhat indiffer-
emily to the latter's account of his
telephone experiences. At nine o'clock
he yawned prodigiously and announced
that he was going to bed, greatly to
the surprise of Mr.. Barnes, who fol-
lowed him from the taproom and de-
manded an explanation.

Sprouse came to n halt. "This is the

shilly.

Presently heavy footsteps ap-

passed within ten yards of them. They
scarcely breathed until the sounds
posed entirely out of hearing. Sprouse
put his lips close to Barnes ear.

"IIl stay by you," replied Barnes
sturdily.
Several minutes went by. There
was nOt a sound save the restless pat
ter Of rain in the tree tops. At last
the PARKWAY thud of footsteps came to
the ears of the tense listener. They
drew nearer, louder. and once more
seemed to be approaching the very
spot where he crouched.
Then came the sound Of a dull,
heavy blow, a hoarse gasp, a momen-
tary commotion in the shrubbery.

A sharp whisper reached his ears.
"Come here-quick"
He floundered through the brush and
almost fell PROSTATE over the kneel-

"Take care! Lend a hand" whis-

Dropping to his knees, Barnes felt
for and touched wet, coarse garments,
and gasped:

With incredible >swiftness the two
of them bound the feet. knees and

"Come along now. Stick to the trail.

Turning sharply to the right,
Sprouse guided his companion through

more came to a halt. Again he stole
on ahead, and as before the slow, 0 n
fident, ever careless progress of a
man ceased as abruptly as that Of the
comrade who lay helpless in the
