'"Twenty-two-on the next floor"
Good. Go upstairs now and I'll join

Sprouse? We can say all that is to be

"If you will look on the register you
will discover that Mr.. J. FL. Prosser
registered here about half an hour
ago. He is in room 80. He left call
for five o'clock. Well, Prosser is an
other name for Ugo. He left the cot
tage an hour ago. Came in a jitney or
could have got to him on the way
over"
Barnes, regardless of consequences,
dashed over to inspect the register.
Sprouse followed leisurely.
"Seep cried Barnes, excitedly, put
ting his finger on the name Miss
Jones" "She's in room 32-next to
his. BY CAD, Sprouse, do you suppose
he knows that she is here? Would the
dog undertake anything"
"You may be sure he dosen't know
she's here, or you either, for that mat

harnesses. Go on upstairs. Leave

Barnes had been in his room for
twenty minutes before he heard the
tapping on his door. He opened it and
Sprouse slid into the room. The in

Sprouse turned the knob and opened
the door a half inch or SO. He left the
room so abruptly that Barnes never
quite got over the weird impression
that he squeezed through that slender
crack, and pulled it after him
Many minutes passed before he
turned on the light The key of the
box was tied to the wire grip. With
trembling fingers he inserted it in the
lock and opened the lid. "a

He did not close his eyes that
night. Daybreak found him lying in
bed, with the box under his pillow, a
pistol at hand. and his eyes wide open.
He was in graver quandary than
ever. Now that he had the treasure in
his possession, what was he to do with
1t?
He solved the breakfast problem by
calling downstairs for a waiter and
ordering coffee and rolls and eggs sent
up to his room. Singularly enough the
waiter solved the other and more dis
turbing problem for him.

Amerongcn, March 25.-Thcre was
a state of the extreme alertness
around the Won Bentinck Castle
throughout Saturday night and yes
terday morning in consequence of the
receipt by the former German En-
peror of two violently threatening
letters, one emanating from Amster-
dam and the other from the Belgian
frontier, and also a telegram from a
friend warning him Of menacing
peril,
ALI the Dutch gendarmcs watching
over the ex-Emperor's welfare were
kept on duty, instead of half their
number being allowed their accus-
toned rest. Yesterday morning all
the garden paths in the neighbor-
hood of the shed where William Ho-
henzollern was engaged in saving
wood were constantly patrolled by
armed guards, while even outside the
walls of the castle gendarmes were
carrying loaded rifles.
One man was watching each of the
four sides of the castle. and other pre-
cautions were taken to insure safety.
