wns out again. IIo landed squurcly on

old Nick went down in n heap, letting
out a horrible yell. Ugo dragged him
into tho room and dashed back Into

only ono thing left for me to do and
that wns to get out on the roof If poJ

Barnes told him that ho knew of

"I BUPPOSO SO."

CHAPTER XIX.
A Trip by Night and a Lato Arrival.
Shortly after Biindown that eve
ning, tho Itushcroft company evacu
ated Hart's Tavern. Thoy wcro de
layed by tho Irritating and, to Mr.
Itushcroft, unpnrdonablo behavior of
two officious gentlemen, lately nrrlvcd,
who Insisted politely but firmly -on
prying Into tho past, present nnd fu
ture history pf tho sovcrnl members of
tho organization, Including tho now
"backer." , '
Barnes had doviscd a very clover
plan for getting Miss Cameron nwny
from tho tavern without attracting un
duo nttcution. Sho was to lonvo in
ono of the automobiles that ho had en
gaged to convey tho players to
urowndnle, whero they were to
"show." In enso of detention or In
quiry, sho wns to poso ns n ntngc
etruck young womun who had ob
tained n pliico with tho company nt
tho InBt moment through his Influence.
When tho hour camo for tho depar
ture from Hart's Tavern he deliberate
ly engaged tho two secret servlco men
in conversation In tho taproom. Miss
Cameron left tho house by tho rear
door and was safely ensconced in Pe
ter's automobllo long before ho shook
hands with tho "rut-cntchcrs" and
dashed out to Join her. Tommy Gray's
cur, occupied by tho four players, was
moving away from tho door as ho
sprang In bcsldo her und slammed tho
door.
Pctcr'8 efforts to stay behind Tom
my's veiierublu but surprisingly ener
getic car were tho cnuso of many a
gasp nnd shudder from tho couplo who
sat behind him in tho bounding cnr.
IIo had orders to keep back of Tommy
but never to loso sight of his tall light.
"Aro you there?" ho whispered.
"Yes. Isn't It Jolly, running uway
like this? It must bo wonderfully ex
citing to bu a criminal, always dodg
ing ana "
"Shi Even a limouslno may hnvo
ears I"
But If tho limouslno had possessed
a thousand enrs they would have been
tendered useless in tho stormy racket
made by Peter's mufiler and tho thun
derous roar of the exhaust as tho cur
got uuder way.
Sixty miles lay between them nnd
Crowndalc. Tommy Gray guaranteed
thnt tho distance could ho covered In
three hours, even over tho vllo moun
tain roads. Ten o'clock would find
them nt tho Grnnd Palnce hotel, none
tho worso for wear, provided (ho al
ways put it, pnrenthctlcnlly) they lived
to tell the tnlol Tho luggage had
gono on ahead of them curlier in the
day.
Soon after ten o'clock thoy entered
tho town of Crowndalo nnd drew up
before tho unattractive portals of tho
Grand Palace hotel. An nrc lamp
swinging nbovo tho entrance shed iu
pitiless light upon the dreary, Godfor
snken hostelry wltlj tho Ironic name.
Mlhs Cameron wns warmly con
scious of tho thrill that had come into
her blood when he carried her up the
stairs in his powerful arms, disdaining
the offer of assistance from the sud
denly infhtuntcd Tommy Grny.
"Beliearsal at eleven" sharp," an
nounced Itushcroft. "Letter-perfect,
every one of you. No guessing. By
tho way, Miss er pon my soul, I
don't believe I got your name?"
"Jonrs," said tho new member,
shamelessly.
Barnes went down to the dingy
lobby. A single, hnlf-hcarted electric
bulb shed Its feeble light on tho desk,
In front of which stood n man regis
tering under the sleepy eyo of the
night clerk.
Bnrnes wns turning nway when n
familiar voice assailed him.
Whirling, he looked into the face of
n ninn who stood nlmost at his elbow
tho shnrp, Impassive face of Mr.
Sprouse.
CHAPTER XX.
The First Wayfarer Has One Treasure
Thrust Upon Him And Forthwith
Claims Another.
"What uro you doing here?" de
manded Bnrnes, stnrlng. IIo seized
tho man's arm nnd Inquired eagerly:
"Have yoil got the Jewels?"
"No ; but I will' hnve them before
morning," replied Sprouso coolly.
"Would you bo surprised if I were to
tell you thnt his roynl nibs Is hiding
In tills town? Well, he certainly Is.
Tho Baroness Hcdlund has been hero
for n week or ton days. Sho goes by
tho nnmo of Mrs. Hnsselweln. I popped
down hero this afternoon and found
out that sho Is at tho sanatorium, but
that sho expects to lenvo tomorrow
morning. I mndo nnother trip out there
tills evening nnd waited. About eight
o'clock Mr. Hasselweln strolled up. Ho
sat on tho veranda with her for half
an hour or so nnd then left. I fol
lowed him. Ho went to ono of tho
llttlo cottages that belong to the sana
torium. I couldn't get close enough to
henr what they said, but I believe ho
expects to tako her away In an auto
mobllo curly In the morning. It is a
soventy-mllo rldo from here to the
Junction whero they cntcji the train
for tho West I'm going up now to
make n call on Mr. Hnsselweln. By
tho way, what is tho number of your
room?"
"Twenty-two on tho next floor."
"Good. Go upstairs now and I'll Join
you In nbout ten minutes. I will tap
thrco times on your door."
"Why should you como to my room,
Sprouso? Wo can any all that Is to bo
said"
"If you will look on the register you
will discover that Mr. J. H. Prosser
registered hero nbout hnlf nn hour
ngo. Ho Is In room UO. He left a call
for llvo o'clock. Well, Prosser Is an
other nnmo for Ugo. He left tho cot
tage nn hour ngo. Cnmo in a Jitney or
I could huvo got to him on tho wny
over."
Barnes, regardless of consequences,
dashed over to inspect tho register.
Sprouso followed leisurely.
"Seoi" cried Barnes, excitedly, put
ting his finger on tho nnmo "Miss
Jones." "She's in room 82 next to
ids. By gad, Sprouse, do you suppose
ho knows that she Is here? Would thp
dog undertake anything "
"You may bo sure ho dosen't know
sho's here, or you either, for that mut
ter. Tho country's full of Joneses and
Barneses. Go on upstairs. Lenvo
everything to mo."
Barnes had been In his room for
twenty minutes before he herd the
tapping on his door. IIo opened it nnd
Sprouse Mid Into tho room The In
stant tho door closed behind him, ho
threw open his cont and coolly pro
duced n long, shallow metal box, such
as ono finds In Bnfcty vaults.
"With my compliments," he said
dryly, thrusting tho box Into Barnes'
hands. "You'd better have tho couu
tess check them up nnd seo If they'ro
nil there. I am not well enough ac
quainted with tho collection to bo
positive."
Bnrnes was upccchlcss. Ho could
only stare, open-mouthed, at this
amazing man.
"My God, Sprouse, hno you been
In that man's room Blnco I saw you
down "
. "All you hnvo to do is to keep quiet
nnd look Innocent. Stay out of thoMinll
tonight. Don't go nnr the door of
No. 80. Act llko n man with brnlna
I said I would square' myself with you
nnd with him, too. Well, I've dono
both. Maybe you think It is ensy to
give up this stuff. There Is n half-million
dollars' worth of nice little things
in thnt box, small as it Is."
"I cannot "begin to thank you
enough," said Bnrnes. "See hero, you
must allow me to rewnrd you In somo
wny commensurate with your "
"Cut that out," said Sprouse dnrkly.
"I'mot so virtuous thnt I hnve to bo
rewarded. I like tho game. It's tho
breath of life to me."
"The time will surely come when I
can do you a good turn, Sprouse, nnd
you will not find me reluctant," said
BnrneS, lamely.
"Thnt's different. If I ever need n
friendly hnnd I'll cnll on you. It's only
fair that I Bhould glvo you n tip,
Barnes, Just to put you on your guard.
From now on, I'm a free ngent. I want
to ndviso you to put thnt stuff In a
snfe plnce. I'll give you two days
stnrt. After that, if I can get 'em
nwny from you, or whoever may hnvo
them, I'm going to do It. They will bo
fair plunder from then on. Good
night nnd good-by for the present.
Stick close to your room till morning
nnd then beat It with her for New
York. I give you two days' stnrt, re

There wns no sound for mnny seconds,

men. Then, with Infinite caution,
Sprouso turned' the knob nnd opened
tho door n hnlf Inch or so. He left tho
room so nbruptly that Barnes never
quite got over tho weird impression
that ho squeezed through that slender
crack, and pulled It nf'ter him I
Many minutes passed beforo he
turned on the light. The key of tho
box wns tied to the wire grip. With
trembling fingers he Inserted It in tho
lock nnd opened the lid. ... "A

night. Daybreak found him lying In
bed, with the box under his pillow, n
pistol at hand, nnd his eyes wide open.
Ho was In n graver quandnry than
ever. Now thnt ho hud tho treasure In
his possesslow, what was ho to do with
It?
He solved the breakfast problem by
cnlllng downstairs for n waiter and
ordering coffeo nnd rolls nnd eggs sent
up to his room. Singularly enough the
waiter solved tho other and more dis
turbing problem for him.
"Somo robbery Inst night," said that
worthy. "Feller up In one of tho cot
tages at tho sanatorium. All beat up,
something fierce they sny."
"Up in "Whero a" almost shouted
Barnes, starting up.
The man explained where the cot
tagds were situated.
"Seems ho was to leave by auto

BETTER THAN WOODEN FENCE
Wall Constructed of Loose Stones
Has Many Points of Superiority
Harmonizes With Nature.
The New England stone wall, ns n
feature in landscape scenery, is some
times spoken of ns a deformity; yet
It cannot bo denied that the same lines
of wooden fence would mar the beauty
of our prospect in n greater degree.
On account of the loose manner in
which tho stones are laid one upon nn
other, ns well as the character of the
materials, this wall harmonizes with'
the rude aspects of nature better than
any kind of mnsonry. It seems to me
less of n blemish thnn n trimmed hedge
or nny other kind of fence, unless in
ornamental grounds. In wild pas
tures pnd lands devoted to rustic la
bor, tho stone wall Is the most pictur
esque boundnry mark that has yet been
Invented. Atrimmed hedge in such
places would present to the eye nn In
tolerable formality. One of the chnrms
of tho loose stone wnll Is the manifest
ease with which It may be overleaped.
It menaces no Infringement of our lib
erties. When we look abroad upon the
face of a country subdivided only by
long lines of loose stones, and over
grown with vines and shrubbery, we
feel tno sense of constraint. . . .
Fences aro deformities pf prospect
which we are obliged to use and tol
erate. But the loose stono wall only
is expressive of the freedom which

Best to Build for Oneself.
The advice to the citizen to build
his own home, If possible, Is good.
When a man builds for himself and his
family he knows precisely what ho
gets, nnd he gets the kind of home
he likes. It Is better suited to the
needs of himself nnd his family thnn
Is one that has been constructed for
some other family. Tho cost of such
construction mny seem high, but good
Judges of vnlues believe that nn In
vestment of this kind, mnde cnrefully
nnd wisely, is the soundest nnd most
satisfactory In the long run.
Roadside Fruit Trees.
Tho genius of the roadside fruit or
nut tree is the hospitality which It
symbolizes, nnd the spirit of neighbor
ly co-operation. It Is nn established
institution In parts of Europe, as in
Frnnce, Italy and Germany. It is a
practice wortli thinking nbout. Botli
esthetic nnd utilitarian purposes would
be served by general adoption of tho
rule In communities sufficiently organ
ized to give necessnry enre to tho trees
once they have been planted.
Big Production of Fats.
The production of animal fats, ex
clusive of butterfat, equal to but 70
per cent of the vegetable oil output of
the United States in 1012, rose In 1017
to nearly 80 per cent. Including but
ter, iu 1012 tho quantity of aulmal fats
was approximately twice as great as
that of vegetable oils, while In 1017
the production of tho two classes of
fats and oils was nearly tho same.
