 And Jimmy, still unable to speak sat and watched the waiter lay aside his white apron and turn toward the door. Hanlon leaned forward to put a hand upon the young mans knee.
 Jimmy, lad" he said, we've been home but a little time, reckoned in days. More in hours and more than hat in minutes, an I've known many a man, through inattention to detail and lack av observation, to achieve premature eternity in the fraction av second, 'tis true. l should have guessed it at the first second I saw ye, yet ye fooled me, what with yer blinkin' lids and lazy grin.

An instead, twas good fortune ye'd found --ye were certain to do that-and shame to me perspicacity. But yell talk now, an I'll listen.
 A gust of confusion flushed Jimmy's hin face. Guiltier than ever, and more than ever self-conscious, he sat trying to meet Hanlon's level regard. And then, without defense or com ment, in a halting fashion that matched the quizzical look that had come back into his eyes, he talked" IS Hanlon bade him.
 At times the huge and grizzled figure opposite him nodded his head understandingly while Jimmy spoke with transparent jauntiness of pro- longed periods when even "husks'' had been extremely accepta ble. Often TT he listened with downcast eyes and bushy eyebrows drawn together in a beetling frown, so that the speaker saw little of the glow which less Ye Believe" kindled in his eyes two metropolitan successes credited to the pen of one Gordon James, a playwright essentially American, both in form and philosophy.
 You mustn't believe that I hit upon the idea with a thought to pa tronize, or-or caricature-or lam poon, Pegleg," he attempted, finding the huge mans silence unendura ble. And then Pegleg's head came up. He was smiling enigmatically. though his lips were still grim.

CHAPTER V.


Something More Than Stage-Play. After he had picked himself up, Jimmy Gordon stood for few mo- ments motionless before the hotel en- trance, gazing from the hole in his hat to the one waist-high in the heavy door of Hanlon's with an emo- ton so peculiarly complex that he was entirely unaware of the little knot of people which began instantly to collect about him.
 Tn truth, so unobtrusive were they that Hanlon had come stumping back up the alley and jostled roughly through to his side before Jimmy realized that he was no longer alone upon the sceEe. Hanlon locked one arm through his elbow and led him inside the hotel.
 There was fresh scar on the in- ner surface of the door below the .bullet-hole: long and jagged splin- kter lay on the office" floor, torn loose iby that bullet; and beyond, at the Opposite side of the room, fragments .pf plaster from the wall.
 Jimmy stood staring at this minor damage, unimpeachab1e confirmation .of the entirely serious and business Hike intent of the one in whose hand the gun had roared. Humorously aghast when he lifted his eyes, rJimmy's expression became sheepish sas he perceived the fierce anxiety in .Hanlon's regard.
 See here, Pegleg." he expostulated, surprised to find that his voice was note quite steady. Why, man, you don't mean that you think those bull let's were really intended for mel"
 hi l cd Ion.
 Jimmy blinked at the laconic ,abruptness.
 I'm sure I don't know he faltered. "I thought, perhaps, some of your precious patrons had devel- -oped a mutual distaste for each oth- er."
 Yell do better sittin' down." Han Ion said, till ye're steadier in the knees. Twas a dir-rty shot, sweetly placed-the first wan was hurried. He turned to the white-aproned wait CT. who had begun to move toward the door. "Ye'n bide a bit" he ordered and then as shortly to Jimmy: Now, unless ye feel too little like talkin'-''
 After a moments thought. Jimmy began farther back, with a report of T. Elihu's second visit to the Courier office, and an almost facetious ex- planation of the business which had brought him there.
 Without comment. Hanlon waited until the younger man made mention of the man in the shadow on Carol Landis' Iawn-the man who ran-and the girls admonishment to avoid the byways and stick to the highway which were we'll lighted; but there he gave voice to a savagely exultant exclamation, and wheeled toward the waiter.
 Am I to reason with him." the waiter asked softly, "and try to con vince him of the error of his ways?'
 Till I give the worrud, ye hvid iipped rnongoose'' Hanlon answered "til1 I give ye the worrud veil kee1 yere fingers from his throat. 1e'l find him first. and yi1en ye do vel report back here to me. I'm cage

Someone was standing there back of that tree" she whispered. "A man who ran."
 Jimmy's eyes strained in the direc- tion of her outstretched arm. Puzzled, he descended the steps.
 "If he was there.' he came back to dismiss the occurrences lightly, for he believed he knew the explanation of it, he's taken himself off in a hurry. But if you're nervous-'
 She laughed, not quite easily.
 I'm not" she assured him. "OnIy -only please don't leave the lighted streets for some dark shortcut on your way back. will you, Jimmy? And don't think that I'm womanishly ab- surd.''
 He promised. and promptly forgot all about it in a recollection of the glowing face with which she had read Hardy's letter.
 And then, with the alley which ran past the Palace theater to the door of Hanlon's hotel yawning black be- fore him, curiously enough he re- membered her warning and his prom ise, and smiled over it gravely.
 His heels rang measuredly upon the alley pavement. He had forgotten again the blotch of shadow upon the lawn, and the man who ran. And then there was stir, soundless and sibilant, close behind him.
 Behind him a yellow flame 1anced the darkness. In the narrow con- fines of the alley a gun roared deaf eningly. Mechanically aud unheroical- ly Jimmy stopped in his stride to pick up his hat. He heard the second ball thud into the door above him, waist-high, had he been erect.
 And then the door was open, and, with the flood of light that dazzled his eyes, Hanlon came out like an avalanche. His mad rush swept Jim my aside like bit of chaff. Like an avalanche, he went roaring down the alley.

NEW YORK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York. March 10.-Business on
the stock exchange today was appre-
ciaby larger and much more diversified
than at any recent period, but the
quicker pace was attended by further
substantial depreciation of quoted
values.
Selling for both accounts of the rail-
way shares was the over-shadowing
feature. Declines of one to three
points embraced almost every class of
transportation. In some cases, not
ably Pennsylvania, a premium stock,
lowest prices for a number of years
were registered.
The break in rails was attributed to
the decision of the various systems of
the country to effect drastic reductions
in wages and salaries from the war
time basis in conformity with existing
economic conditions and q widespread
policy of retrenchment. 1855
Other incidents of the session, such
as the February tonnage report OF the

located in the western states and
two-thirds of the demand for this
power Is in the eastern states, so it
states to always rely to a great ex-
tent upon coal.
DR.. Swain declared that it would
seem as If the United States and the
States should encourage the develop
ment of water power in every way but
they have done the opposite, especial
ly the federal government.
"A water power varies from floods
at one time in the year to a very
dry condition at another time, in 9TH
er words. there is no continuity
about It," said DR.. Swain.
Another disadvantage in the de-
velopment of water power is that it
requires a large initial investment.
It would cost four or five times more
to develop q water power than it
would q steam power of the same ca
pacity. The history of water powers
has mot all been strewn with roses
and many of them have been stEewn
with wrecks. A great engineering

kept of them. want to urge upon
you the desirability of continuing the
Maine Water Power Commission.
1.-THE State should know where the
developed and undeveloped water
powers are and how much is capable
Of development. The State of Maine
has about one half the area of New
England and has more wter powers
than all the other New England
states.
1.-THE situation as regards water
power is more favorable at Washing"
ton than it has been.
DR.. Swain said that this State
ought to have somebody looking to
the changing Of the federal water
power act and to see that these
changes were the proper ones.
He did not look to see the railroads
electrified right away, but believed
that many Of them would be eventu-
ally.
He said that Maine should, even
tually bring coal to this State ana
With It generate electricity and these
plants should be linked up with wa
ter power plants and then Maine
would be independent OF the world.
