 Drummond closed the door behind him, and stood for a moment in silence, looking round the hall. It was deserted, but he wanted to get the geography of the house firmly i'm printed on his mind. He stepped across toward the drawing groom. h. side, as he hoped. he found the girl.
 She rose the instant he came in, and stood by the manteIpiece with her hands locked.
 What was it?" she half whispered that awful noise at dinner?"
 He looked at her gravely for a while, and then he shook his head. Shall We leave it as a night-bird for the present." he said quietly. Then he leaned toward her. and took her hands in his own. "Go to bed, little girl" he ordered; "this is my show And, may 1 say. I think you're just advertisement l'
 Gently he released her hands, and walking to the door, held it open for her. If by any chance you should hear things in the nlght-turn over and go to sleep again."
 But what are you going to dor" she cried.
 Hugh grinned 'I haven't the re- motest idea" he answered. Doubt less the Lord will provide"
 The instant the girl had left the room Hugh switched off the lights, and stepped across to the curtains which covered the long windows. He pulled them aside, letting them come to- gether behind him; then, cautiously, he unbolted one side of the big cen ter window. Silently he lodged across the lawn toward the big trees at the end. and leaning up against one of them, he proceeded to make more detailed survey of his objective, The Films. It was the same type of house as the one he had just left, and the grounds seemed about the same size. A wire fence separated the two places, and i'll the darkness Hugh could just make out small wicket-gate, clos ing a path which connected both houses. He tried 1t, and found to his satisfaction that it opened silently.
 Save for one room on the ground floor the house was in darkness, and Hugh determined to have look at that room. There was a chink in the curtains. through which the light was streaming out, which struck him as having possibilities.
 Keeping under cover. he edged toward it. and, at length, he got into position from which he could see inside. And what he saw made him decide to chance 1t, and go even closer.
 Seated at the table was a man he did not recognize; while on either side of him sat Lakington and Peter son. Lying on a sofa smoking a cigarette and reading a novel was a tall dark girl, who seemed completely in the proceedings of the other three. Hugh placed her at once as the doubtful daughter Irma, and resumed his watch on the group at the table.

LOST cH!LDF0UND
PARENTS ELATED

Red River Canyon wall mile and half from
were he was lost Sunday.
Physicians were hurried to attend the baby
ooy whose parents MIR. and Mrs. Ray Spencer
were scarcely less pitiable through their long vi
gile and terrible grief, than he. Late advces from
he bedside of the little sufferer at Mills, New Mex
ico, are to the effect the child may recover.
That the tiny bit of humanity lived through
the biting chill of the nights and days since his
disappearance, seems nothing short Of miraculous.
He was of course unconscious, when rescued from
the Jagged rocks into whose clutches he had fallen
and thus prevented from being dashed to immed-
late death.
At first little hope was entertained for his re-
covery and his mother swooned after the first rap
ture of his recovery, so pent up were her nerves.
She had lost hope, and although relatives had hur.
red to sustain her in the grief she cried constantly
for her baby. When the limp, worn, and wasted
form was placed in her arms she was overcome and
sank helpless under the strain.
1t is reported that the searchers many times
had passed Immediately above where the baby had
fallen. Wonder is expressed that the feeble pite-
GUS means of the little one had not attracted the
eager ores who spent long, trying hours in the
search.
