CHAPTER I.
A Dangerous Errand.
A city of hills with n frlngo of
houses crowning tho lower heights;
hnlf-mountnlns rising baro in tho
background nnd becoming real moun
tains as they stretched away In tho
dlstanco to right and left; a confiiBed
mass of buildings coming to tho
water's edgo on tho Hat; a foroBt of
masts, ships swinging In tho stream,
and tho streaked, yellow, gray-green
water of tho bay taking a cold light
from tho setting sun as it struggled
through tho wisps of fog that flut
tered above tho serrated sky-lino of
tho city theso wero my first Iraprcs
Blons of San Francisco.
Tho wind blew, fresh and chill from
tho west with tho damp and salt of
tho Pacific heavy upon it, aB 1
breasted It from tho forward deck of
tho ferry steamer, El Capltan. As I
drank in tho air and was silent with
admiration of tho beautiful panorama
that was spread beforo mo, my com
panion touched mo on tho arm.
Como into my cabin," ho said.
"You'll bo ono of thoso follows who
can't como to San Francisco without
catching his death of cold, and then
lays it on to tho cllmato instead of
his own lack of common senso. Como,
I enn't Bparo you, now I'vo got you
hero nt last. I wouldn't Iobo you for
a million dollars,"
"I'll como for half tho money." I
returned, as ho took mo by tho arm
and led mo into tho close cabin.
My companion, I should explain,
was Henry Wilton, tho son of my
father's cousin, who had tho advan
tages of a fow years of resldcnco In
California, and sported all tho airs
of a pioneer. Wo had been close
friends through boyhood nnd youth,
and it waB on his offer of employment
that I had como to tho city by tho
Golden Onto.
"What a rcscmblancoP" I heard a
woman exclaim, as wo entered tho
cabin. "Thoy must bo -twins."
"Thoro, Henry," I whispered with
a laugh; "you boo wo aro discovered.'
Though our relationship was not
close wo had been cast in tho mold
of somo common ancestor. Wo wore
so nearly allko in form and fenturo as
io porpiox an out our inumaio nc
qualntanccs, and wo had mado tbo
rcsomblanco tho occasion of many
tricks In our boyhood days
Henry had heard tho exclamation
as well as I. To my surprise, It ap
pearcd to bring him nnnoyanco or ap
prehension rather than nmusomont
"I had forgotten that It would niako
us conspicuous," ha said, moro to
himself than to mo, I thought; and
ho glancod through tho cabin as
though ho looked for somo peril.
"Wo wero used to that long ago,'
I said, us wo found a sent. "Is tho
business ready for mo? You wroto
that you thought it would bo in hand
by tho tlmo I got horo."
"Wo can't talk about it horo." ho
Bald In a low tone. "Thoro Is plenty
of work to bo dono. U'b not hard, but,
as I wroto you, It necdB a man of
pluck and discretion. It's dollcato

"Oh, no; not now. I was going to
tako you direct to my room. Now
wo aro going to a hotel with all tho
publicity wo can got. Hero we nro."
In nnothcr moment wo wero in a
lumbering coach, and wero whirling
over tho rough pavement, through a
confusing mazo of streets, past long
rows of dingy, ugly buildings, to tho
hotel.
"A room for tho night," ordered
Henry, as wc entered tho hotel of
flco and saluted tho clerk.
Your brother will sleep with you?"
inquireu tno clerk.
"Yes."
Henry paid tho bill, took-tho key,
anu wo wero shown to our room. Af.
iej removing tho travel-stains, I de
clared myself quite ready to dlno.
"Wo won't need this again," said
Henry, tossing the key on tho bu
reau as wo left. "Or no. on second
thought," ho continued, "It's Just as
woll to leavo tho door locked. There
might bo somo Inquisitive callers."
And wo betook ourselves to a hasty
meal that was not of a naturo to
ralso my opinion of San Francisco.
Aro you through?" asked my com-
panlon, ns I shook my head over a
melancholy plcco of pie, nnd laid down
my fork. "Well, tnko your bag. This
door look pleasant nnd say nothing."
Jio leu the way to tho bar and then
through n back room or two. until
with a turn wo wero In a blind alley.
After a pauso to observe tho
beforo wo ventured forth. Henry
snld:
"I guess wo'ro all right now. We
must chanco it. nnvhow." Sn wo
listened again at tho crack of tho
door.
"In Heaven's name, Henry, what's
up?" I exclaimed with somo temper.
"youto as run of mysteries as a
dlmo novel."
Henry smiled grimly.
"Aiaybo you don't recognize that
this is serious business," he said.
I was about to protest that I could
not know too much, when Henrv

and locked tho door, whether It was

I stood In tho door, revolver In

listened to his footsteps as they de
scended tho stairs and at last faded
away into tho murmur of llfo that
camo up from tho open street.
"Theso aren't tho papers," it-hlsscd.
Curao you, you've got the ' wrong

There was a moment of contusion.
nnd tho light flashed on tho man who
had spoken nnd wna gone. But tho
flash had shown mo tho face of a man
I could never forgot. It was n Btrong,
cruel, wolfish face the face of a man

a firm, unyielding Jaw, and marked

It took not a second for mo to bco

vision came and was gono in tho
drooping of an eyelid. And then thero
echoed through tho alley loud cries of
"Police! Murder! Holp!" I waa con

A Cry for Help.
I hastily closed and locked the door.
Then I rallied my aplrlts with some
thing of resolution, and Bhamed my
self with tho reproach that I should
fear to share any danger that Henry
was ready to face. Wearied as I was prlso that I found myself In tho street,

As wo pushed our war through tho
