Mr.. Sprouse Continues to BE Perplex-
Ing, but Puts His Nose to the Ground.
Barnes was abroad early. He was
at breakfast when Peter Ames called
up. An inspiration seized him when
the chauffeur mentioned the wholesale
exodus: he hired Peter forthwith and
ordered him to report Immediately
with the car. He was going up to
Green Fancy for Miss CameroD's
wardrobe.
Two minutes after Peter drove up
to the Tavern he was on the way back
to Green Fancy again, and seated be-
side him was Thomas Kingsbury
Barnes. his new master.
There was not sign of human life
about the place. Peter accompanied
him upstairs to the room recently oc-
cupied by Miss Cameron.
They found two small leather
trunks, thickly belabeled, in the room
upstairs. Both were locked.
'sYou take this one" said Barnes,
"and will manage the other" He
was in hurry to get away from the
house. There was no telling when the
government agents would descend
upon the place.
Barnes helped Peter to lift the
trunks into the car and then ordered
him to start at once for Harris Tay-
ern.
"You can return later on for your
things" he said.
II got 'em tied up in handle In the
garage. Mr.. Burns" he said. won't
take second to get 'em out" he
hurried around the corner Of the
house.
I A dry, quiet chuckle fell upon
Barnes ears. He glanced about In sur
prise and alarm. No one was in sight.
"Look up. young man." and the
startled young man obeyed. His gaze
halted at a window on the second
story, almost directly over his head.
Mr.. Sprouse was looking down upon
him. his sharp features fxed In sar-
donic grim.
sWell. I'll be d." burst from
Barnes lips.
Surprised to see me, eh3 II you're
not in I hurry, I'd certainly appreciate

I'll be down in : jiffy. Stand aside !!
I'm going to drop" A moment later
he swung over the sill. and dropped
lightly to the ground eight feet below.
"See. here, Sprouse or whatever
your name is"
Better hear me out" broke In
Sprouse calmly. II could drill a hole
through you SO quickly you'd never

hand was In his coat pocket, and q

In which the jewels were hidden. This
Is Gods truth, Barnes. I wasn't the
only one who was trying to get the
baubles, my friend. It was a game In
which only the best man could win"
II know the truth now about Room
and Paul. said Barnes significantly.

The Second Wayfarer 10 Transformed.
O'Dowd returned late in the after
noon. He was In hurry to get back
to Green Fancy; there was no mis-
taking his uneasiness.
"For the love Of heaven, Barnes, get
her away from here us soon us pos
sible, and do 1t as secretly as you
can" he said. II may as well tell you
that she is in more danger from the
government secret service than from
anyone up yonder."
"She may prefer TO face the music,
O'Dowd. II know her at oil. she will
refuse to run away

said the Irishman earnestly. There

''Who is she. ODOwd? Man to man,

O'Dowd hesitated, looked around
the taproom. and then leaned across
the table.
