The Poor Rich.
During ilio post eight month tlio
rich liavo had a hard tlmo. A ml I road
director Bald recently that "It Is n
great deal harder for a man who has
been living at the rate of two hundred
thousand a year to get down lo a fifty-thousand-n-yenr
standard than It Is
for n man who has been living on $15
a wcclt to get along on $10." TIiIh miiHt
bo no because the fifteen-dollar man
liaa got along on ten so often that It
is cny, like any habitual privation,
The innltl-mllllonnlro Is a green hand
at economizing, and uhotlld bo pitied
by tho expert poor. Hut ho gcta no
Bympnthy, and In one respect dosorvcB
nono. Only thin minnnor a Newport

would not glvo lila rich customcrB
more thnn 00 dnyn' tlmo In which to
pay for tho corned boof, prunos, Bait
codfish and other delicacies that bend
their tableM. Tho curso of tho rich Is
their poverty, and It Ib a pity lo sen
them ground down by tradesmen. Of
courso It Ib hard that In minnnor, when
tho rich are taken from tho ultima nnd

Thoro wan nono of tho Bounds of
riot I had expected to hear as wo drew
up before It. Tho lantorn blinked out
side with Its Invitation to manifold
cheer within. Lights streamed through
tho window and half-opened door, and
quiet and order reigned.
I found tho explanation of tho
change In tho person of n pollcomnn,
who stood nt tho door.
"lias thoro boon trouble bore, of
ficer?" TaBkod.
"Oh, Is It you, sor?'1 Bald Corson's
honrty volco. "I was wondorlng nbout
yo. Well, there has been a bit of n
row hero, and thoro s a power of
broken heatlR to bo inontled. Thoro'B
wnn man out to pleco.1, nnd good rid
dnnoo, for it'B lllnck Dick. I'm think
Ing It's tho morgue they'll bo tnklng
him to, though it wns 'for tho receiving
hospital thoy started with hlin. It wnH
a dandy row, and It was fllvonteen nr-
rlBts wo luado,"
"Whoro is Mothor norton?"
"Tho ould she-dlvll's dona for this
tlmo, I'm n-thlnkltig. Whist, I forgot
sho wns a frlond of yours, sor."
"Whoro Ib Bho tit tho receiving bos
pllnl? What Is tho multor with hor?"
"Alsy, alsy, sor. It may bo nothing,
Slio's upstairs. A bit of a cut, thoy
say. Hero, ShnughnusBy, look out for
this door! I'll tuko ye up, sor."
Wo mounted tho creaking stairs lu
tho light of the smoky lamp that stood
on the braokot, and Corson opened a
door for mo.
A Weltering caiitllo played fautusllc
tricks with the furniture, sout Blind
ows dancing over tho dingy wnlls, and
gnvo a wolrd touch to tho two figures
that bent over tho bod lu the corner.
Tho flguret trulghtened up at our en
trance, and I know them f6r the doctor
and his assistant.
"A ft loud of tho lady, sor,"' whisper
ed Conmn.
The doctor looked at mo In somo
surprise, hut merely bowed.
Mother Iloitou turned her bond on
tho pillow, and hor guunt fnco lighted
up nt tho Hlght of ma,
"Eh, dearie, I know you would
como," sho cried.
Tho doctor pushed his way to tho
bedside.
"I must Insist that tho patient bo
quiet," ho Bald with authority.
"llo quint?" cried Mother Uorton.
"Ib It for tho llkos of you that I'd bo
qulat? You whlto-Avashed tombBtono
rnltier, you body-snatcher, do you
think you'ro tho man to tell mo to hold
my tunguu when I wunt to tnlk lo a
gentleman?"
Mother Uorton had rulscd horself
upon one olbow. her fnco, Unshod and
framed In her gray nnd tangled hair,
waa working with nngor; and hor oyos
woro almost lurid us sho sent llorco
rv ft
mm
glances at ono after another of tho
men about her. She pointed a Bktnny
linger at the door, and each man ns
sho cast her look upon him went out
without a word.
"Shut tho door, honoy," sho Bnld
quietly, lying down onco more with n
BntlBfled smile. "That's It. Now me
and you can talk cozy-llko."
"You'd bettor not italk. Porhaps
you will feel moro llko It to-morrow.:
"Thoro won't bo any to-morrow for
mo," growled Mother Uorton. "I'vo
soon onoiiRh of 'cm enrved to know
when I'vo got tho doso myself. Curso
that knife!" and sho gronncd at a
twlngo of pain.
"Who did It?"
"Hluck Dick curso his soul. And ho'a
roasting In hell for It this minute,"
cried Mothor Uorton, savagely.
"Hush!" I said. "You mustn't cx
clto yourself."
"There's maybo nn hour loft In me.
Wo must hurry. Tell mo nbout your
trouble at Llvcrmorc, wns It?" said
she.
I gnvo her a brief account of tho ex
pedition nnd Its outcome, Mothor Dor
Ion listened eagerly, giving an occas
ional grunt of npprovnl.
"Well, honey; I was somo good to
ye, nfter nil," wnB her comment.
"Indeed, yes."
"And you had a closer slmvo for
your Ufo than you think," sho con-
tlnucd. "Tom Terrlll Bwore ho'd kill
ye, and It's ono of tho mlraclos, suro,
that ho didn't."
"Well, Mothor Uorton, Tom Ton-ill's
Inld ip In Llvermoro with a brokon
head, anil I'm safe horo with you,
ready to sorve you In any way that n
iran may."
"Safo safe?" musod Mother Uorton,
nn absent look coming ovor hor skin
ny features, ns though her mind wan
dered. Then sho turned to ma ln
prowilvoly. "You'll novor bo'snfo till
you ohangu your wrk nd your name.
You'vo shut your oara to my words
while I'm allvo, but maybo you'll think
of 'em when I'm In my collln. 1 telj
you now, boy, thero's murder mid
death before you. Do you hoar? Mur
der nnd death."
Hho sank buck on her pillow and
gazed at mo with a woarlod light In
Iter oyos and n'slbyl look on hor face.
"I think I understand," I said gently.
"I havo faced them and I ought to
know them."
"Then you'll you'll quit your Job
you'll bo yotirsolf?"
"I can not. I must go on."
'"And why?"
"My frlond his work his murder

dorcd Henry Wilton?"
"No."
"Havo you got a mnn who will glvo
a word against against you know
who?"
"I havo not a. Bornp of ovldonco

coniesa.
"And you can't uso It you daro not
ubo It. Now I'll toll you, dearie, I
know tho man ns killed Henry Wilton."
"Who wns It?" 1 cried, startled Into
eagerness.
"It was Rlack Dick tho cursed
scoundrel that's done for mo. Oh!"
she groaned In pain.
"Maybo Illack Dick Btruck tho blow,
but I know tho man that Btood behind
him, nnd paid him, and protected him,
nnd I'll seo him on the gallows before
I dlo."
"Hush," cried Mother Uorton trem
bling. "If ho should henr you I Your
throat will bo cut yet, dearie, nnd I'm
to blame. Drop It, dearie, drop It.
Tho boy Is nothing to you. Leave him
go. Take your own name nnd get
away. This is no placu for you. Whon
I'm gono there will bo no ono to warn
ye. You'll be killed. You'll bo killed."
Thon sho moaned, but whether from
pnln of body or mind I could not guess.
"Novor you fonr. I'll take cure of
myself," I said cheerily.
She looked at me mournfully. "I am
killed for ye, dourlo."
I started, shocked at this news.
"Thero," alio continued slowly, "1
didn't mean to let you know. Dut
they thought I had told ye."
"Then I have two reasons Instead of
ono for holding to my task," I said
solemnly. "I havo two friends to
avongo."
"You'll make tho third yoursoir,"
groaned Mother Uorton, "unloss they
put a knife Into Unrkhotise llrst, und
thon you'll bo the fourth belike."
"Uarkhoti8c do you know where he
Is?"
"He's In tho Don on Davis street,
you know. I was near forgetting to
tell yo. Send your men to get hlm to
night, for he's hurt and llko to die.
They mny havo to light. No don't
leave mo now."
"I wasn't going to leavo you."
Mothor Uorton put nor hand to her
throat ns though she choked, and was
silent for n momant. Then sho con
tinued: "I'll bo to blame If I don't tell you
I must tell you. Aro you listening?"
Her voice camo thick and strange,
and her eyes wandered anxiously
about, soarchlng tho heavy shadows
with u look of growing feur.
"1 am listening," I repllod.
"You miiHt know you must know
I must toll you. Tho boy tho wom
an Is "
.On a sudden Mother Uorton sat bolt
upright In bed, and n shriek, so long,
so shrill, so frnlghtod with terror,
camo from hor Hps. that I shrank from
hor ami trembled, faint with tho hor
ror of tho plaoo.
"Thoy conic thoro. they cntno!'
sho cried, and throwing up hor arms
sua iHll back on tho bod.
The ctmdlu shot un Into futmu. smit
terodvan Instant and waa gono. And
I wnb alone with the darkness and the
dead.
CHAPTER XXVII.
A Link In the Chain.
I sprang to my feet. Hut before 1
had covered tho distance to tho door,
it was liung open and Corson stood on
tho IhroBhold. At tho darkness he
wavered and cried:
"What's tho mattor horo?"
"She is dead."
I shudilored as I stood hostile him,
antt brought tho lamp from tho brnck
at In tho hall.
Mothor Uorton lay back Blaring nf-
rngnicdiy at tho mystic being who had
qomo for her, but suttlod Into peace us
I .ciosud her oyos and composed her
limbs.
"Sho was a rnro old bird." said Cor
son whon I had dono, "but thoro was
somo good In hor, after all."
"Sho has boon a good frlond to
mo, I said, and wo called a Borvant
from below und loft th growsomo
room to his guardianship.
"And now, thoro's another little Job
to bo doue. There's ouo of uiy mon a
prisoner down on Davis street. I must
get him out."
"I'm with you, sor," said Corson
heartily. "I'm hopln thoro's somo
heads to bo cracked."
I had not counted on the police
man's aid, but I was thankful to accept
tho honest off or. In tho restaurant 1
found five of my men, and with this
forco I thought that I might safely at
tempt an assault on tho Den.
Tho Don wns a low, two-story build
ing of brick, with a warehouse below,
nnd tho quarters of tho enemy, ap
proached by a narrow Btalrwny above.
"Step quietly," I cautioned my men,
as wo nearetl tho dark and forbidding
entrance. "Keep close to tho shadow
of the buildings. Our best chnnco Is
In a surprise."
Thoro was no guard at tho door that
Btood open to tho strcot, and we halted
n moment before It to make suro of
our plans.
"It's a bad hole," whispered Corfion.
"A lino plnco for an ambush," I re
turned dubiously.
"Well, thoro's no help for It," said
tho policeman. "Como on!" And
drawing his club nnd revolver ho stolo
noiselessly up the stairs.
Wo woro not two-thirds tho way nr.
tho flight beforo a voice shot out of
tho darkness.
"Who's thoro?"
Thoro wns no more need for silence,
nnd Corson nnd I reached the landing
Just as a door opened that let tho light
stream from within. Two men had
sprung to tho doorway and another
could bo seen faintly outlined In tho
dark hall.
Tho two men Jumped back Into tho
room and tried to closo tho door, but 1
wns upon them bbforo thoy could
swing It shut. Four of my men had
followed mo closo, and with a few
blows given and taken tho two woro
prisoners.
"TIo them fast," I ordered, and
hastened to see how Corson fared.
I mot tho worthy policeman In tho
hall, blown but exultnnt. Owens was
following hlm, nnd between them thoy
hnlf-drngged, half-currlod tho man
who had given tho alarm.
"Aren't there any moro about?" I
asked. "Thoro were moro than three
left In tho gang."
"If thero hntl boon moro of us, you'd
never hove got In," growled ono of tho
prisoners.
"Where's Uarkhouso?" I asked.
"Find hlm!" wns tho defiant reply.
Wo began tho search, opening ono
room after another. Somo were sleep
ing rooms, somo tho meeting rooms,
while tho ono wo had first entered ap
peared to bo the guardroom.
"Hello! What's this?" exclaimed
Corson, tapping nn Iron door, such ns
closes a warehouse against fire.
"It's locked, BUro enough," said
Owens, ufter trial.
"It must be tho plnco we aro look
ing for," I said. "Search those men
for keys."
Tho search was without result.
"It's a sledge wo must get," said
Owens, starting to look about for one."'
"Hould on," said Corson, "I was
nenr forgetting. I'vo got a master-key
that fits most of these locks. It's
handy for closing up a warehouse
when somo clerk with his wits a-wan-tiering
forglts his Job. So llko enough
It's good at unlocking."
It needed a llttlo couxlng, but tho
bolt nt last slid back and tho heavy
door swung open. Tho room was fur
nished with a largo tablo, a big desk
and a dozen chairs, which sprang out
of tho darkness as I struck n match
and lit the gas. It was evidently tho
council room of tho enemy.
"This Is llllgant," said the police
man, looking around with npprovnl;
"but your man Isn't here, I'd Bay."
"Well, it looks as though thero
might bo something hero of Interest,"
I replied, seizing cagorly upon tho
papers that lay scattered about upon
tho desk. "Look In the other room
while 1 run through those."
A rude diagram on tho topmost
paper caught my eye. It represented
a road branching thrice. On tho third
branch was a cross, and then at In
tervals four crosses, as If to mark
somo features of tho landscape. Un
derneath was written:
"From U follow 1. m. Tuko third
road 3 or 5."
' Tho paper bore dato of that day, and
I guosscd that It meant to show tho
way to the supposed hldlng-plnco of
tho boy.
Thon, us I looked again, tho words
anil lines touched a cord of memory.
Something I had soen or known bo
for was vaguely Biiggestod. I groped
in the obscurity for a moment, vainly
reaching for tho phantom that danced
Just beyond the grasp of my mental
llimors.
Thoro was no time to loso In spec
ulating, nnd I turned to the work that
pressed beforo us. Uut as I thrust
tho papers into my pocket to resume
the search for Uarkhouse, the cltulve
memory Hashed on me. The diagram
of the tv.emy recalled the single slip
of paper 1 had found In tho pocket of
Homy Wilton's coat on tho fatnl night
of my arrival. 1 had kopt It always
with mo. for It was tho solo memoran
dum loft by him of tho buslnoss that
had brought him to his denth. I
brought It out and placed it sldo by
sldo with tho map 1 had boforo mo.
Tho resemblance was loss closo than
I had thought, yot nil tho mnln foa
turos were the same. Thoro was tho
road branching thrice; a cross In both
mnrkod the Junction of tho third road
as though It gave sign of a building or
somo natural lnndmark; and the other
features were ludlcutod in tho same
order. No thoro was n dirrorenco In
this point; thoro woro 11 vo creases on
tho third road In tho enemy's diagram,
whllo thoro wero but four lu mine.
