CHAPTER XXVIII. Continued.
"I dirt not need It till Sunrtny." con
tinued Mrn. Knapp. "I havo been wor
ried much nt the situation of tho boy,
but I did not dare go near him. Henry
iimi I decided that his hiding place
was not safe. We Und talked of mov
In,; him n few duys before you came.
When I round that Henry had disap
peared I was anxious to make tho
cnani?o, but I could not venture to at
kmpt it until tlio others wero out of
town, for I knew I was watched. Then
I was assured from Mother Norton
that they did not know whoro the boy
was hidden, and I let tho matter rest.
Hut a low days aso on Saturday
sho sent me word thut she thought
they had found the place. Then It
enme to mo to send you to Llvonnoro
with the other boy oh, 1 hopo no
harm came to the little fellow," sho
'exclaimed anxiously. ,
"Ho's safe In my rooms In charge
of Wnlnwilght," I said. "Ho got back
on tho morning train, und can bo
hml Tor tho aEklng,"
"Oh, I'm no glad," said Mrs. Knnpp.
"I was nfraid something would hap
pen to him, but 1 hud to take desper
ate chances. Well, you see my plan
succeeded. They all followed you.
Hut when I went to the hiding place
the boy wus gone. Henry had moved
him weeks ago, and had died before
he could tell me. Then I thought you
might know more than you had told
me that Henry Wlllon might have got
you to help him when he mado the
change, und I wrote to you."
"And tho key," 1 said, remembering
the exproaialon of the note. j'Dltl you
moan this diagram?"
"No," shIiI Mr. Knapp, "I meant the
key to our cipher code. I was looking j
over nonry s loners tor some mm oi
n hiding place and rould not rind the
key to the cipher. 1 thought you
might havo beon given one. I found
mine this afternoon, though, and there
was no need of it, so It didn't mutter
after all,"
The pitching and touslug of the boat
had ceased. And, a minute later, with
clang of bells and groan of onglno wo
were at tho wharf and weio helped
ashore,
"Tell the captain to wait hero for us
with fires up," said Mrs. Knapp. "Tho
curriage should ho somowhore around
here," sho continued, peering anxious
ly about us we reached tho foot of tho
wharf.
"This way," said a familiar voice,
and n man stopped from the shadow,
"Dicky Nuhl!" I exclaimed.
"Mr. Wilton!" mimicked Dicky.
"But it's just us well not to speak so
loud. Hero you arc. I put tho hack's
lights out Just to escapo unplunsant
romnrk."
Mrs. Knapp entarad tho currlngo and
cnlled to mo to follow hor.
I t oniombored Mother IJorton's warn
IngH and my doubts of Dicky Nnhl,
"You're certain you know whoro you
are going?" I asked him In nn undor
tone.
"No, I'm not," said Dicky frankly.
"I'vo found u man who says ho knows.
Wo aro to meet him. Wo'll got thero
betweon 3 and 4 o'clock. Ho won't
say another word to anybody but her
or you. I guess he knows what ho is
about."
"Woll, koop your oyos open. Meok'
or'd gang Is ahead of us. Is tho driver
reliable?"
"Hight as a Judge," said Dicky
cheerfully. "Now, If you'll get In
with mndamo wo won't bo wasting
tinio hero."
1 stopped Into tho carriage Ulcky
Nahl closed tho door softly and climbed
on tho seat by tho driver, and In a mo
ment wo wero rolling up Hroadway In
tho gloomy stillness of tho early morn
ing hour.
CHAPTER XXIX.
The Heart of the Mystery.
I was In tlie shadow of the mystery.
A hundred questions roso to my lips;
but behind them all frowned tho grim
wolf-vlsago of Doddrldgo Knapp, and 1
could not llnd tho courngo that could
mnko mo speak to thorn.
"Mrs. Knnpp," I said, "you havo
called mo by my nnme. I had almost
forgotten that I had over borne It. I
havo lived moro in the Inst month than
In the 25 years that I remember beforo
it, and 1 have almost como to think
that tho old name belongs to somo ono
else. May I ask how you got hold of
it?"
"It was simple enough. Henry had
told mo ubout you. I remembered that
you wore coming from tho same town
ho had como from. I telegraphed to
an agent in IIohIou. He went up to
your place, niiuln his Inciulrlos and tel
egraphed nie. I suppose you will bo
pleased to know," she continued with
a droll affection of malico In her voice,
"that he mulled me your full history
as gathered from tho town pump. It
is at the-houso now."
"I tried to got something out of
Mother Horton concerning you," con
tinued Mrs. Knnpp. "I even wont so
far hb to seo her once."
"I don't think you got nny moro out
of her than sho wanted to tell."
"Indeed I did not. I was afraid Mr.
nichmond had not gone nbout It tho
right way. You know Mr. Hlchmond
acted as my ugont with her?"
"No, I didn't know. She was as
close-mouthed with mo us with you, I
think."
"Well, I saw her. I wnntod to get
what Information she hud of you and
of Henry."
"Sho had a good deal of It, If she
wanted to glvo it up."
"So I suppose. Hut sho was too
clover for me, Sho spoke well of you,
but not a word could I get from her
about Honry. Yot sho gave mo tho
idea that she know much."
"I should thlnh she might. I hail J
told hor tho whole story."
'Sho in used to keeping socrels. I
suppoio," replied Mrs. Knnpp. "Hut I
must reward hor well for what sho hntf
ilono."
"Sho is beyond fonr or reward."
"Dead?" cried Mrs. Knapp In a
shocked voice. "And how?"
"Sho died, I fenr, because sho bo
friended me." And thon Iftold her tho
story of Mother Horton's ond.
"Poor creature!" said Mrs. Knapp
sadly. "Yot perhaps it Is hotter so.
Sho has died In doing n good act."
Tho carriage had boon rolling along
swiftly. Desplto tho rain tho streets
wero smooth nnd hard, and wo made
rnpld progress. Wo had crossed ti
bridge, und with ninny turns made u
courso toward the southeast. Now tho
ground beenmo softer, and progress
was slow. An interminable array of
trees lined tho way on both sides, nnd
to my Impatient Imagination stretched
for miles boforn us. Thon tho rond
becamo bettur, tho horsoM trotted
briskly forward again, thoir hoofs pat
tering dully on the softanod ground.
"All tho bettor." I thought. "It's
as good a a mulller if any ouo is
llstonlng for us."
. "Hero's tho place," camo tho voice
of Dicky, giving direction to tho iJrlv-
or; and tho cnrrlago slaokoned paco
and stopped. Looking out I saw that
wo wore nt u division of tho road
whero n two-story houso fneed both
of tho branching ways.
"You'd bottor coma out." said Dicky
nt tho door, addressing his romnrk to
me. "Ho was to meet us hero."
"Ho caroful," cautioned Mrs. Knnpp.
I kopt my hand on tho rovolvor
that lay in my overcoat pocket, nnd
walked with Dicky on to tho porch
It was a common roadside saloon, und
at this hour It appeared wholly de
serted. Kvon tho dog, without which
1 knew no roadside saloon could ox
1st, was as silent as Its owners.
"Hero's a go!" said Dicky. "Ho was
to meet us, sure. What tlmo havo you
got?"
1 struck u nihtch In a corner nnd
looked at my watch by its Hare.
"Klvo minutes to three."
"Whew!" he whispered, "wo'ro reg
ularly done. 1 thought ho had n bad
eye when I was bargaining with him."
I wondered If Dicky had a hand In
tho trick, If trick it should provo to
bo.
"Well," said Dicky dubiously, "1
think 1 know whero tho fellow would
havo taken us. I trailed him this af
ternoon, und I'll lay two to ono that I
can pick out tho right road,"
"Is this tho third rond from Hrook
lyn?" I asked, pointing to tho track
that led lo the left.
"I reckon so," said Dicky, "I
hnven't kept count, but 1 recollect
only two beforo It."
"All right, lip with you then!"
Dicky obediently mounted to tho
scut besldo tho drlvor.
"I ahull A ide outside," I snid to Mr.
Knapp. "I mny bo needed."
Half a nillo farther wo passed a
house, and within a quarter zl a mile
another.
"Wo aro on the right road," wub my
thought uh I compared these In my
mind with tho crosses on the diagram.
About half n mllo farther n small
cluster of buildings loomed up, dark
and obscure, by tho roadsldo.
"This 1b tho place," 1 said confident
ly, motioning the drlvor to pull up, I
remembered that Henry WlIton'B mnp
had stopped at tho third cross from
the parting of tho roads.
"No, It Isn't," Huld Dicky oagerly,
"It's two or three mlloB farther on. I
trailed tho fellow myself to tho next
house, nnd that's a good two miles nt
least."
I had leaped to tho ground, and
opened tho door of the curriage.
"We are at the fourth place," I gald.
"And the coc'ioyed barn?" Inquired !
Mrs. Knnpp, peering out.
I wm struck silent by this, anil
looked blankly nt the dark forbidding
strurturo that fronted on tho road.
"You're- right," sold Mrs. Knnpp
with n laugh. "Can't you muko out
that funny llttlo window nt tho ond
thero?"
I looked moro closely at tho luilld
lag. In tho dim light of tho stars tho
cont of whitewash that covered It
mado It possible to traco tho outlines
of a window In tho gnblo that fronted
tho roml. Somo freak of tho builder
had turned It a quarter of tho wny
around, giving It n comical suggestion
of a man with a droop to his eye.
"And tho Iron cow?" I asked.
"Stupid! a pump, of course," re
plied Mrs. Knnpp, with nnother laugh.
"Now son If thoro Is u lano hero by
tho bam."
A narrow roadway Just wldo onough
for n slngl.b wagon Joined tho main
road at tho comer of the building.
"Thon drlvo up It quietly." was Mrs.
Knnpp's direction.
Just beyond tho barn I mnde nut tho
figure of tho pump in a conspicuous
place by tho roadside and felt moro
confident that wo wore on tho right
road.
Tho drlvor sworo In an undortono
as tho hack lurched nnd groaned In n
boggy series of ruts, and n branch
whipped him In tho fnco. I wits forced
to glo u grunt myself, iu another
slnpped my soro arm und sent a sharp
twinge of pain shooting from tho
wound till It tingled In my toes. Dicky,
protected between us, chuckled soft
ly, I rellnctod savagely that nothing
spoils a man for company 1 lieu ti mis
taken scuso of humor.
Suddonly tho horses stopped so
idiort that wo woro almost pitched out,
Mrs. Knnpp rapped on tho currlngo
door and 1 oponod It.
"Havo you como to' the bars?" sho
nuked presently.
"I guess ho. Wo'vo como against
something like n fence."
"Well, thon, " sho replied, "when wo
got through, tnko tho road to tho loft
That will bring us to tho houso."
"You uro certain?"
"That Is wljat Henry wroto in tho
cipher beneath tho map. Tho houso
must bo only a few hundred ynrds
away."
Tho bars wero there, and I lifted tho
wet nnd soggy boards with an anxious
heart. Woro wo, after all, so near tho
hiding- place? And what woro wo to
llnd?
On a sudden turn tho houso loomed
up beforo us and a wild clamor of dogs
broke tho stillness of the night.
"I hopo they aro tied," I said, with
a poor attempt to conceal my misgiv
ings. "Wo'll hnvo a llvoly tlmo In a quar
ter of a mlnuto If they nron't," lniighod
Dicky, as ho followed me.
Hut tho baying and bnrklng camo no
nearer, and I helped Mrs. Knapp out
of tho carriage. Sho looked at tho
houso closely.
"This Is tho place," sho said, In an
unmistakable tono of decision. "Wo
must bo quick. I wish something would
quiet thoso dogs; they will bring tho
whole country out."
It Hccmed an hour beforo wo could
raise nny one, but It may not hnvo
been thrco minutes before n volco
camo from behind tho door.
"Who's thoro?"
"It Is I j. M. K.," snld Mrs. Knapp;
then sho added three words of gibber
ish that I took to bo tho passwords
used to Identify tho friends of tho boy.
At tho words thero was tho sound
of bolts Hhootlng back and tho heavy
door opened enough to admit us. As
wo passed In, it wns closed onco
more and tho bolts shot home.
Hoforo us stood n Bhort, heavy-set
man, holding a candle. His face, which
was stamped with much of tho bull
dog look In It, wns smooth shnven ex
cept for a bristling brown mustache.
Ho looked Inquiringly nt us.
"Ib ho hero tho boy?" cried Mrs.
Knapp, her voice choked with anx
iety." "Yes," snld tho man. "Do wo movi
again?"
"At onco," said Mrs. Knnpp, In hoi
tone of decision.
"It will take ten minutes to got
rendy," said tho man. "Como this
way."
I was loft standing ulono by the door
In tho darkness, with n burden lifted
from my mind. We had come In time,
Tho slnglo slip of paper left by Henry
Wilton had been tho meiuiB, through
a atrango combination of eventH, to
point tho way to the unknown hiding
place of tho boy.
In a few minutes the wavering light
of tho cnndlo reappoured. Mrs. Knapp
was carrying a bundle that I took to
bo the boy, and the man brought a
vallso and a blanket.
"It's all right." said Mrs. Knnpp.
"No I can carry htm I want to carry
him."
Tho man opened tho door, then
closed nnd locked It ns I helped Mrs,
Knnpp Into tho carriage.
"Havo you got him safe?" askod
Dicky Incredulously. "Well, I'll havo
to say that you know moro than 1
thought you did." And tho relief and
satisfaction in his (one were so evi
dent that 1 1 gladly repented of my sus
picions of tho llght-henrted Dicky.
"Havo you heard anything?" I asked
him anxiously.
"I thought I hoard a yell over hero
through tho woods. Wo had better
got out of hero."
"Don't wait a second," said the man.
"Tho south road comes over this other
wny. If you've heurd anybody there,
they will bo hero in live minutes, I'll
follow you on u horse."
With an injunction to haste, I
htepped nftor Mrs. Knapp into tho cnr
rlago, the door wns shut, Dicky
mounted tho seat, and wo rolled dowx
the road on tho return Journey.
