VIII.-No Questions Answered

1 garbage can standing on the sidewalk overnight.
 How long has this feller been here a' demanded Anderson.
 Last night"
 'Um-ml What's his name and where's he from7"
 "Go and look at the register, and then you'll know as much as I do. It's a public register. Nothing secret about it."
 Anderson got up suddenly. T guess I'll go look while you're sweepin' around here" The register on the little counter in the corner revealed the name of a single arrival below the flowing Spen- cerian hand of Willie Spence, the clerk head waiter porter and bell -boy of the Grand View Hotel. Willie, because of his proficiency as chirographer, al- ways wrote the date line in tho regis ter. He was strong on fiourishes. but somewhat feeble in spelling. Any one with half an eye could sec that there was something wrong with Q date lire that read: "Febury 25nd 1s1s." The long guests name. written in tight running hand with total disregari for the elementary formation of letters. might have been almost anything that occupied less than two inches of space. Even his place of residence was a matter of doubt. The Marshal put on his spectacles , and studied the signature. As far as he could make out the mans name was something like ''Winnumnn Mill mn,mln." It was a name that baffied him. The longer he studied 1t. the worse 1t became.
 Seems to me, Jennie. if I was run- min this hotel. I'd have Willie Spence register for the guests, and save 'em the trouble" Cant you make it out7'' Course I can." he replied promptly. Its as plain as day to me. but I'll bet you good cigar you can't make it out"
 She fell into tho trap. "Ail right. I take you up. It's MT. & Mrs. George F. Fox"
 Mr. Crow stared at her for second or two. Then he recovered himself. You're right" he said. What kind of a cigar do you smoke, Jennie?" As he had feared. she promptly named the highest-priced cigar she had in atock. 8 three-for-a- quarter brand. and then coolly announced that if he'd get 1t.
 Got his wife with him. E see,' re- marked Anderson.

 think l was murderer. Course, denied 1t. swore he wasn't dead, and that I'd increase the reward to . hun drod dollars just to show her. What | I want you to do, right away, !s to have . new set of bills printed, offerin' . hundred dollars reward for that doK.
 instead of throe It's tho only chance Two got of eyer being able to live in nay own house again." Tho Marshal eyed him effectively. If you could ret her to agree to let you offer the reward for Mike, dead or alive"
 "she wants him alive. and no other 1 way"

That might please her." reflected Mort.
 The door opened at that juncturc. and in walked @ man and a woman. The former was carrying a square black "valise." inadeQuately described by Mrs. Bloomer as twice the natural size.
 The proprietor of the hardware store was, at a glance. qualified to pass an opinion on the personal appearance of the two strangers. His companion's att tention, however, was devoted so earn estly to the big black "valise," that he couldn't have told. for the life of him. whether the customers were young or old, black or white. His fascinated gaze was riveted upon tho object the man deposited carefully on the floor near the door.
 You are loclsmith. I perceive" !" remarked the strange man. addressing Mort. 'Td like to have you sec if you can open this box for me. We've lost or mislaid tho key"
 What fer sort of lock Is if f'' asked Mort, approaching.
 Hold on, Morti" called out Mir. Crow. Don't monkey with that trunk"
 The two strangers turned On him.
 ''Well, who the deuce have we hercf" said the man. with some acerbity.
 "Oh, what a nice old policeman!' cried the lady. fixing the Marshal with pair of intensely blue eyes. Mir. Crow looked at her in amazement. Could any one as pretty. as dainty and as refined-ioodng as she be engaged in the awful business of charming snakes?
 Before we go any further. mister, I've got to know what's inside that box" said Anderson firmly.

 How many times have got to tell you, Ali. that I'm able to deduce these cases without your assistance? Now, this is big case, and you leave 1t to me to handle. When I get ready to act. you'll hear something that will make your hair stand on end. Hold on, Newtl Don't ask any questions. Don't.

 You was. eh? Well, what was you going to tell me?''
