How He eft the Court.

A young cOlored man wearing very
squeaky shoes entered crowded
courtroom and proceeded around three
sides of the room In an effort to find
a seat. Squeak, squeak, sQueak-thus
went the shoes. The judge was peev-
ish that morning and snapped at a
baillff: "See here, l want order in
the court"
"Order-r-r in court" bawled three
bailiffs in unison.
The culprit made hasty exit

asked his employer when appraised OF

CHAPTER VIII.

Kestner, as he emerged from
that unlighted pier office into the
cavernous gloom Of the equally un-
lighted warehouse, knew there was
no time to be wasted. He felt the
need for prompt action. Yet he
was still undecided as to what line
this action should follow and as
to what form it could take.
There was one danger-zone, how
ever, Of which he could be sure.
That was the spot where Whitley
McKensic had attempted to bore
his way up through the wharf
planking. Whitley might possess
resources unknown to Kestner,
and the sooner that spot was in
vestigated the better. Daylight,
Kestner felt convinced, could not
be far off.
He allowed no impotence of
mind, however, to interfere with,
his earlier demand for caution.
He CROPPED his blind way back
along the warehouse as stealthily
and as silently as he had first adj
vanced from its depths. Once
more his outstretched fingers be-
came antennae. Still again his
fastidiously exploring stockinged
feet became tentacles, feeling

THE RHYMINC
OPTIMIST
The Road.
By AIine Michaelis-

w OW the lure of the road
keeps calling when the
- winds from the southland
Groom and the gold Of the sun is
falling on the meadows a-thrill
with June! AS a youth will go
seking his lover at the sound Of
her distant call, so I'd follow the
wide world where the wiles
Of the road enthrall. Sometimes
I catch a glimmer through the
haze OF the distant hills as the
glow of the west grows DINNER
to the song Of the whip-poor-wills.
Sometimes I sense the greeting
of the yet unknown delights and
haste to the place Of meeting
through the wonder OF starlit
nights. And SO ever and always
Turing wanders the road Of life
with its half-hid promise curling
all of our hurts and strife.
Though the griefs of the past
may hasten, ever hope springs
anew, as far on the road we
hasten to the turn that is hid
from view. There are hints of
an unseen splendor, something
brighter than we have known:
there's a glimpse of a sunrise
tender, there's a breeze from a
tropic zone. Though the cares
Of the world beset us as we press
to the journeys end, and the
woes Of the world may fret us,
there are wonders around the
bend. And to pay for each drop
Of sorrow in the place Of each
hope that dies, there's the lure
of the bright tomorrow and the
dream of the waiting prize.

enemy, in fact, was as prepared
for emergency as was his pur-
suer. He stood ready for silent
retreat or advance as did Kest-
ner himself.
The man with the antennae-
like fingers stood erect, peering
about the blackness that en-.
quilted him. He seemed to sniff
danger in the air, as an animal
upwind shifts pursuit. In
stinctively he reached down to
make sure that his revolver was
in place. Then he buttoned
his coat, and once more STOPPING
forward like a track-runner,
moved guardedly on. He began to
breathe more freely, digesting his
discovery, adjusting himself to
the newer condition of things.
But he kept warming himself TO
be cautious, to feel his way care
fully, to let no betraying sound
announce the secret of his adj
vance.
Then all thought stopped, with
the quickness of lightning flash
His next movement was unvo-
litioned and spasmodic. It was a
movement Of sharp recoil. Had
his outstretched fingers suddenly
touched a red-hot plate Of metal
he could not have moved more
quickly

But it was nothing like a piece
of metal, that something which
he had touched. 1t was a human
hand, like his own. His cropping
fingers and momentarily become
involved with another set OF fin
gers, outstretched like his own.
Those distended antennae had
locked themselves together loath-
somely, as the feelers Of subma.
rine monsters might, had clutched
and had suddenly withdrawn, each
cluster telegraphing to the brain
behind them the imminence of
danger, the need for action.
That action, on Kestner's part,
became one of uncouth acrobatics.
1t sent him leaping and side.step-
ping backward, in a series of jerks
as quick and unco-ordinated as the
leaps Of a beheaded pullet. Then
he stood for a second, silent, poised
and motionless. bayoneted with a
tingle of horripilated nerves.
He seemed to know what was
coming. He saw the quick stab Of
flame at the same moment that
the high.roofed building reverber-
ated with the thunder of the re-
volver shot, Lambert was using
his gun. He was forcing the issue
by suddenly raking the silence
about him. And he was keeping on
the move as he fired, charging from
side to side, craftily changing his
position after each flash.
kestner crouched there, watch
ing those flashes, all but deafened
by the echoing tumult after 80
many hours Of silence. He wanted
Lambert, and he wanted him at
any cost. That was the one vague
overtone to all consciousness.
