| cautions, waiting and listening after
every movement. There was no
sound from the kitchen. And when
he had lifted the latch and opened
the door an inch or two there was
no light to be seen, except the moon
light chat came through the kitchen
windows. He moved inch by inch
toward the closed door of the dining
room. He saw a faint crack of light
beneath it. He raised his hand to
the latch. A low growl checked him.
It was the dog, in the dining room.
1t had scented him. 1t began to
bark. Some one called to it from
the other end of the house, and
Barney fled.
But he did not flee upstairs. He
made for the pantry door that he
had Notwithstanding to hide until
the alarm had subsided-and when
he plucked the door open he found
himself at the head of cellar steps.
He went down them swiftly by the
light of the pocket lamp, and stood
waiting at the bottom, in the dark
ness.
In the cool underground silence
he found that not only could he hear
the growing dog as clearly as be-
FORE, but he could hear much more
clearly the distant voice calling, "Be
quiet, SIR Be quiet"
He flashed furtive' light around
him; he was in little food cellar of
hanging shelves and larder cup
boards. He saw an open door that
led through stone foundation wall
into another part of the basement.
He sneaked to that door as softly as
a cat, barefooted on the cement floor
The dog was quiet again. In the
doorway he could hear a distinguish
able murmur of several voices sound
ing through the thin floor above and
ahead of him. He stood there, grin
ming to himself in the darkness, at
the end of his hunt.
1t was the man and two women
and he could hear them distinctly
when he had picked his way to the
further end of the cellar. And the
first words that he heard connectedly
gave him the solution of the Baxter
mystery.
"But, my dear Bessie" the man
was arguing, eff your father got
your letter, why should he offer this
reward? There's no sense in it. He
can't have got it,"
A girlish voice answered:

doing it, but / can't explain without
being unfair to Dad"
"Well, if he got the letter, he's
concealing it from the detectives,
isn't he?"
II suppose so. Yes"
The man sat down, with bump.
II suppose you know what you're
doing, but I'll be hanged if can see
any sense in it. Pm not thinking of
myself, but if you're found here"-
WELL" she said, "I'll &C some
where else then"
There were confused words of re-
monstrance, of angrily apologetic ex.
PLANTATION and self-defense, OF affec.
tlonate reinsurance. Out of it all
the girls voice rose impatiently:
"Well, Dads doing it to deceive
Mr.. Huntley. That's why he's doing
it. He's in a-he's in trouble
money troubles And he couldn't re-
| fuse his consent to our marriage

place--to help Dad. And don't you

She had begun to sob, and the con-
versation became an incoherent jum-
bic of voices, consoling her, SYM
pathizing with her, reassuring her.
Barney did not wait to hear it out.
He had heard enough to satisfy him.
self. 1t was Elizabeth Baxter. She
was hiding there. And overcome
with a superstitious fear that now,
at the very moment Of success, some
thing might happen to betray him
and spoil it all, he started back to
his room on tiptoe, holding his
breath.
The fear did not leave him until
he had regained his room safely.
There he allowed himself only an
excited chuckle as he slipped off his
trousers and hoped into bed in his
undershirt. He gave his pillow a
jubilant thump and butted his head
down into it, hugging himself Wait
till he saw the Boss Then he lay
perfectly still, curled up in the cold
sheets with his secret, smiling costa
tically. He could go downstairs in
the morning, eat his breakfast in all
innocence, and say goodby without
letting them suspect anything, and
slouch off up the road, with his coat
over his shoulder, on his travels
again. And as soon as he was out of
their sight, he would beat it" to
Findellen, catch the first train to
New York, and come dawdling non
chalantly into the Babbing Bureau to
report to the Boss that he had found
Elizabeth Baxter.
He fell asleep while he was drama
tizing that scene with Babbing-
after he had worked Babbing up 20
such heights of admiration OF his
cleverness that the scene was already
too heart-tickling to be anything but
a dream itself.

self to any one but the dog. at whom
he winked triumphantly as he de-
parted. He arrived at the railroad
station only few minutes before a
train full of commuters returning to
New York for their days work. And
when he looked from the bow of the
ferry at the skyline Of the city he
found it quite as he had pictured it,
except that it showed no excited ap-
probation of the change that had
come, over nighN to the status Of the
Baxter case.

supporting himself. Then the father
put the police after him, and he
was arrested and sentenced to the
reform school, but his sentence was
suspended on condition that he gave
up his cumming" and remain at
home. When he could endure it no
longer, he fled again; but this time,
to escape the New York police, he
went tt amping; and Hudson Street
heard no more of him.
The man showed his sympathy by
asking:
"What do you intend to do? How
do you expect to make a living?"
"Search me-" Barney said. "Ill
strike town somewhere, an sell
papers, er shine shoes, l guess"
The man asked:
"Where are you going to spend
the night?"
barney answered:
II thought maybe yuh'd let me
bunk in yer hayloft."
He looked doubtfully at his wife.
1--WE haven't any hayloft," he said.
She put in:
He could have the maids room
over the Kitchen"
She left them. After a moments
silence, the man followed her. And
when they were gone Barney turned
to make a face, tauntingly, at the
dog.
when they returned, he was ap-
parently half asleep again, and he
mumbled prompt acceptance of
the woman's proposal that he
should go to bed at once. She led
him around the front of the house to
the kitchen porch, and the kitchen
light was still the only one to be
seen. Of the kitchen itself he looked
only at the doors. One that was
closed evidently led to the dining
room and the rest of the house, one
that was open showed the stairs to
the upper floor; a third was the
back door to the yard; a fourth un-
der the staircase might be the door
of a pantry.
She lighted candle and ushered
him upstairs to tiny room that
had sloping ceiling, a single win
dow in the gable end, and no door
except the door to the stairs.
"l'm afraid we haven't any night
clothes that will fit you," she said.
putting down the candle.
Barney replied ungraciously: "I'd
be asleep fore l could get into 'em,
anyway He did not wish to en-
courage her in any solicitude con-
cerning him; it might prove en-
barrassing if she came back to see
that he was sleeping comfortably.
He mumbled "G'night." He
dropped his shoe heavily on the floor
as she descended; and though she
closed the door at the foot of the
stairs, and he could not hear her in
the kitchen, he dropped the other
shoe as noisily when he got it off.
He listened and listened, but he
could hear nothing, except the in
cessant stridulant drone of insect
mechanisms out Of doors.
He got his little electric lamp from
his hip pocket and tiptoed to the
stairs. A cautious flash showed him
the door below him. He descended,
in the darkness, with infinite pre-
