Mrs. Frances POpe's husband

Mr. Pope franucally called A taxi at

turned 70 their lunch room at 3437

husband had sold the tobacco can
10 customer thinking It was tObac-

Return to Farm
Breathless. Mr.. Pope and his cab
arrived al the farm but could find
no trace OF the customers car. So
they drove TO Greencastle. No trace
Of the customer and they returned
10 the farm.
On a scouting trip around the
countryside they met the car as they

A search revealed the tobacco can

charged $40 and Mr.. Pope gave him
81 more. He got neither of their

Peterby sprang suddenly to his

turned 10 glance fearfully towards
the door which was quivering be-
meath the blows Of a pOnderous fist.
Therefore BaTnabas rose and, cross
ing the room, drew the latch. Upon

narrow doorway. who, having sa-
luted Barnabas with his shining
hook. spoke in his slow. dif1dent
manner.

Why, corporal. I'm glad to see

hook, might I ak you to step out

Certainly, corporal" and with
murmured apology to Mr.. Bimby,
Barnabas followed the corporal out
upon the gloomy landing and closed
the door. Now at the further end
OF the landing was a window. open
to admit the air, and, coming to
this window, the corporal glanced
down stealthily into the court be-
low, reckoning Barnabas to do the
like:
Sir" said he in a muffled tone,
"d'ye see them two coves in the
red weskits?" and he pointed to the
two Bow Street runners who
lounged in the shadow of an
adjacent wall.
We'll, corporal, what of them?"
"Sir. they're awaiting for you'll"

ear, take this letter to Mr.. Barry

with you"
So Peterby the silent thrust the
note into his bosom took his fur
cap, and signing, went from the
room, and a moment later, glanc-
ing cautiously through the window,
Barnabas saw him hurry through
the court and vanish round the
corner.
Then Barnabas turned back to
the table, and seeing how wistfully
Mr.. Bimby eyed the teapot, poured
him out another cup; and while
they drank together, Mr.. Bimby
chatted. in his pleasant way, of bit
ter wrong, Of shattered faith and
ideals.
So Mr.. Bimby chartered on and
Barnabas listened until the day de-
clned to evening; until Barnabas
began to hearken for Peterbys re-
turning footsteps. Even in the act
Of lighting the candles his ears were
acutely on the stretch, and thus he
gradually became aware Of another
sound, soft and dull, yet continu-
Gus, a sound difficult to locate.
Mr.. Bimby rose and lifted thin,
arresting hand.
Sir" said he. do you hear any,
thing?"
Yes. I was wondering what it
could be-"
Il think I can tell you, sir" said
Mr.. Bimby, pointing to a certain
part Of the cracked and blackened
ceiling; 1T is CUP there, in my room
-Iisten!"
And now, all at once Barnabas
started and caught his breath, for
from the floor above came a soft
trampling as of unShod feet, yet
the feet never moved from the one
spot.
Indeed" sighed Mr.. Bimby, 81

Bimby, land hem! if I might sug-
gest-a little brandy?" But even as
Barnabas reached for the bottle,
there came a hurry of footsteps on
the stair, a hand fumbled at the
door and Mr.. Smivvle entered with
Peterby at his heels.
"Oh, Beverley" he exclaimed
Juggling nervously at his whiskers.

THEN Ronald Barrymaine looked
up and, seeing BarnabaS, strug-
gled to his knees:
