 So my name was "DaIy." Well, that was interesting at least, although 1t gave me no new light. However nOth- ing remained for me to do except agree to his blind proposition.
 That's mighty handsome of you. Whats the figure?"
 "A million !" enthusiastically. Wait until I get a chance to explain the plan it looks like Providence had just handed us out the money"
 "Why not explain the scheme to me"
 Not now; there ain't time." He glanced at his watch, land besides, for all I know, some guy might be listen- ing in to what we say. You see there is bunch O hell-catS in there waiting for me to give them a song and dance. I'm the big end right now, but I've got to sing low until I'm sure what word these guys have got from Washington. After that I'll know how to trim sail.

 The sudden, unanticipated attack, the burst of dazzling light in my eyes, rendered me for the moment utterly helpless. was blinded, and so tightly grasped at the throat as to be nearly strangled. I only dimly realized that my assailant was a man, his grip that of giant. Then, to my surprise, the fellow laughed oddly, snapping out his light, and releasing his grip.
 ''Well, if this don't beat h-ll," he said, in the tone of cheerful disgust. Come in here and let me look you over."
 His hand closed on the sleeve of my coat, and before I scarcely found time to catch my breath again I had been dragged through a narrow opening and became aware that door shut silent ly behind me.
 The fellow gave me little opportuni- ty to either act, or think. A match flared, and was held aloft to a gas jet which instantly broke into dull flame. sufficient to render visible the full ex- tent of the small room in which we stood. In some semi-cOnscious way I was aware of bare walls, of small table opposite with some writing ma- terials on it, and short bench covered by a blanket I suppose I saw these things, yet all that seemed to per ceive was the man fronting me, who stared in my face, a quizzical smile on his lips, as though still half uncertain

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Solemn Ceremonies in slstlne Chapel commemorating the Death and
 Resurrection of Christ.

At the office of the Miserere, which is sung in the Slstine chapel at Rome on Wednesday of Holy week, a cere- mony takes place in which triangular candlestick. upon which are 15 can- dies. corresponding to the number of psalms recited, is placed at the epistle side of the altar.
 After each psalm, one of the candles is extinguished by a master of cere- monies and after the benedictus the candle on the top is alone not extin- guished, but is removed and concealed behind the altar and not brought out until the end of the service. While the canticle is sung the six candles on the altar are extinguished as well as those above the rails.
 The custom of concealing the last and most elevated candle and bringing it forward burning at the end of the service, Is an allusion to the death and resurrection of Christ. In the same manner the other candles extinguished one after the other may represent the prophets who were successively put to death before the crucifxion of their Lord.

poa as Type of Civilization.

The dogs very lawlessness is but an extravaganza of loyalty; he will go mad with joy three times in the same day at going out for a walk on the same road. We hear strangely little of the real merits of animals; and one of them surely is this innocence of all boredom; perhaps such sim- plicity is the absence of sin. have some sense myself of the sacred duty of surprise; and the need of seeing the old road as a new road. But cannot claim that, whenever I go out for a walk with my family and friends, l rush in front of them vol leying vociferOus shouts of happiness; or even leap up round them attempting to lick their faces. It is in his power of beginning again with energy upon familiar and homely things that the dog is really the eternal type of the western civillzation.-G. K. Chesterton.

of the reality of my presence. He was tall, a trife angular, but exceedingly well-dressed, with closely trimmed iron-gray beard and peculiar eyes deeply set in rather chalky face. He broke the silence, evidently inclined to look upon this meeting as joke.
 Don't recognize me, reckon? Well, that ain't to be wondered at, for likely enough you never saw me before. Beats the devil though why you should drift in here; now suppose it will have to be fifty-fifty."
 His words and manner gave me new lease on life. Whoever the follow might be he was seemingly friendly. l must meet the fellow in that same spirit and endeavor to extract from him some knowledge of whom he sup posed me to be.
 "I do not quite get the drift of all this" ventured. "You imply that you know me-"
 HI, yes. Over in Bow Street. on the other side. The Hartlebury rob- bery case. I'd been hearing about you for years, and when that came on, 1 took a chance and drifted into court one day just to see what you looked like. You've shaved your mustache, and look ten years younger, but I knew you, all right. I never forget a face. Say, who put you onto this game -Waldron?
 I nodded, taking a chance. "Pd have bet my life he was the guy. might have known he would double-cross me some way. Of course tips a tip in this game, and I don't blame you for hOrning in. Naturally you never knew this was my game-how could you? WaldrOn never said a word about me. did he?"
 "Not once"

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann oition, nervousness, are often times symp- ;oms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Hilmer's Swamp-Root, a paysician's pre- 'cription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions
 Get medium or large size bottle i'm mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. KImer & O., Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-AdVertisement.

Beyond doubt the entrance awaiting me lay straight ahead, con- cealed by the hanging curtain. stepped cautiously forward, listening for some guiding sound from beyond that barrier, afraid to draw 1t aside and take blind plunge into the un- known. 1 could detect the murmur of voices, several of them speaking Span lsh, yet in such low tones I could dis tinguiSh only an occasional empha- sized word. There was no door be- tween us; only that thick, hanging cur tain, and I ventured far enough to draw this aside sufficient to peer through with one eye.

 The private doorway through which Wine hau disappeared gave me the thought that there might also be Oth- CTS.

Behind the dangling coats I uncovered what sought. and not a moment too soon. Even as my hand touched the exposed latch, a murmur of voices in the outer entry reached my ears-there were new arrivals be- ing questioned. and admitted.
 The panel slid back silently in its grooves. and peered through the re- veaIed opening into absolute darkness. All could be sure of, as exhibited by the dim light of the passage, was a single step downward, and then ap- parently strip of earth floor.
