these old-fashioned houses; they were
so different from hotel. Even In
Harlem, where he was paying $75
a week, he had mono Of the real COM
forts of quiet and privacy. His
tastes were simple. He did not care
for show.
And so forth.
Mrs. Dart took him to see the
large room behind the parlor-which
she herself was occupying-as an ex-
ample Of the sort Of room that he
ought to try to get. And when they
returned to Barney they were al
ready arranging the terms on which
Babbing could rent that room from
her and the small bedroom behind
it. 1t was exactly what he wanted.
They were having a very genial,
chatty time together, though Bah
hing confessed that he was worried
about Mrs. Andrews and his friend
ly obligation to deliver Wallbridge's
letter. 1t was at last decided that
he should cross the street and pre-
sent his introduction, look at the
rooms offered to him, and decide
against them. Then he could return
to the hotel, have his baggage
brought to Mrs. Darts next day, and
move that evening into her charm
ing apartment.
He paid her $50 in advance, for
two weeks rent. She patted Barney
on the back as they went to the door,
and babied him overwhelmingly; he
remained stolid without any effort.
Babbing put Barney in the cab
and left him there while he went to
present his letter to Mrs. Andrews.
And, of course, he did not present it.,
although he took it from his pocket
while he was standing at the door,
and entered carrying it in his hand.
He merely asked to see the fur
nished room that was advertised for
rent by printed card on the door
jamb, and he found this room not at
all to his liking.
When he returned to Barney and
they started back to the hotel he
preserved thoughtful silence. "I
don't know whether we can get away

back to the house afterward. He re-
manned there, amusing himself In
solitude, till s o'clock, when Bab5ing
arrived. They went for q walk to-
gether, diner together at some cafe
and spent the evening together either
in their rooms or presumably seeing
the sights. Mrs. Dart seemed to
take no moro than a kindly land
lady's interest in their doings and
Barney remained dumb 80 religiously
that his mouth ached.
| But under the surface Of this daily
round Barney saw various hidden
activities always on the alert. The
teacher who came to give him lip
readings spied and listened at the
door and watched about her in the
restaurant and on the streets. He
recognized operatives Of the Babbing
Bureau in the casual passersby
wherever he went. Babbing continu-
ally tested" himself to see whether
he was being followed when he was
out with Barney, and when they
went to the Cranmer Building Of an
evening it was always in the office of
Adam Cook that Babbing received
his men and worked on his cases.
They were reporting regularly on
the Dart gang
Barney was not allowed to go alone
on the streets. And Babbing ex-
planned to Mrs. Dart one morning in
the natural course Of conversation
that his son had been kidnapped in
Chicago some years previous and
ransomed for $4,000, and since that
time another attempt had been made
to steal him, and, in fact, they had
moved from Chicago because Of this
second attempt, and Babbing had not
felt it safe to leave Barney in a
hotel in New York, and that was the
real reason why they had sought
rooms in private residence.
Babbing blurted it all out in q
worried rush once he had begun it,
and Mrs. Dart heard him sympa-
thetically. She even volunteered to
keep an eye. on Barney in the after
moons, to make sure that he did not
slip out while no one was watching
him. Babbing was deeply indebted
to her. 1t relieved his mind more
than he could say.
When she had left the room he
spelled out to Barney on his fingers,
"Watch yourself"
And Barney watched, as eager as
young hope. He was leading life
of elegant idleness, sleeping late,
eating unlimitedly, wearing good
clothes and doing no work whatever,
and by contrast with his days as a
telegraph boy he was son of pow

years before. He took all the New

and from Barney's. He had Corcoran

picture books, and he wrote in them:
ITO Barney, from his affectionate
Papa" He filled his pockets with
fraudulent letters addressed to
Adam Cook about his tunneling ma
chine, and he saw that there was
nothing suspicious In Barney's pos
session.
"Now,"~he said, on their way to
the house, "don't ever sit with your
back to door. Don't 60 to sleep
until you're sure that your window
and your door are both locked. Be
on the lookout all the time to see

bing said. "We're fishing-with you
for bait. They may not rise to you.
If they do, don't worry-that's all.
Well have the line on you, all the
time"
So, with Barney wriggling happily
under the ticklish apprehension of
being decoy, they settled down in
their dingy room to the routine which

Babbing arranged for them. The
maid served them their breakfast in
their apartment on an ld-fashioned
card table at the foot of Babbing's
folding bed. She made up Barney's
room while they were still at table,
and Babbing fingered over his news
paper until young woman from his
office, playing the part of teacher
from the Institute, came to give
Barney his pretended lessons in lip
reading. Babbing left her in charge
and went to his work. At midday
she took Barney out to luncheon at
nearby restaurant and brought him

Consequently he was full of a rest

up IN him like an elfervescence.
One afternoon Mrs. Dart came in
with workman, carrying a table
to replace the card table which she
wished to remove. Barney was sit

was not assumed. Any intrusion was

y ME art Of approaching beau
II ty Is one of the subtlest of
human capacities. Why is
one piece of music more


beautiful than another; one rose of
smell more sweet than another: one
view beautiful and another hideous?
Taste belongs to the man who pos
sesses the aesthetic sense; but it
would be rash to declare this sense
to be peculiar to man. Does not the
nightingale take instructive pleas
ure in its song, or the kingfsher in
its reflection? The hen bird appre-
ciates the plumage and antics of it's
mate.
Whatever relation that instinct
may bear to its counterpart in
human nature, man, at all events,
has also the power to cultivate it
and bring it into harmony with his
reason. Eventually his appreciation
becomes more rational than instinc-
tive. Yet the elusiveness of the fac
ulty remains, for the reason that
beauty, like truth and goodness, is
an ultimate reality.

when he wanted to paint a sea beach
he plastered real sand on his canvas.
But when people take a holiday in

spondent of ''The London Times"
the aesthetic sense is awakened. Thew

the sea in way in which the native
inhabitants cannot. Such apprecia-
ton is partly due to novelty-new
colors, new lines, new groups-and
often when those people return home
they can see some beauty in the old
surroundings in which they had long
ceased to find any beauty at all.
Much that is beautiful goes unob-
served: 1t is so ordinary, it requires
pointing out. Frequently visitors to

cards in order to find out what they
ought to see and admire. The very

true, take delight in their own
