"Every Inch of It!" ho said bitterly Ilut so I ought, If anybody docs." "Dtit IhcHo rhododendrons weren't hero In your time. They'ro tho ono Improvement. Don't you remember bow tho pnlh ran around to tho other end of tho yard? This gate Into It wasn't mndo." "No moro It wna," said Cazalet, ob thoy camo up to tho new gato on tho right. It was open, and looking through thoy could bco where tho old gatoway had been bricked. Tho rhodo dendrons topped the yard wall at that potnt, masking It from tho lawn, nnd making on tho wholo an Improvement of which anybody but a former son of tho bouso might bavo taken moro ac count. Ho said bo could boo no other change. Ilut for tho fact that these windows wcro wldo open, tho wholo placo scorned as deserted as Little ford; but Just past tho windows, and flush with them, was tho tradesmen's door, nnd tho two trespassers wcro barely nbrcaHt of It when this door opened and disgorged a man. Tho man was at first sight a most Incongruous flguro for tho baclc prem ises of any house, especially In the country. Ho watt tall, rather stout, very powerfully built and rnthor hand somo In bin wny; yet not for ono mo inont was UiIb personage In tho pic ture, In tho sense In which Hilton jToyo had stepped Into tho LUtleford picture ( "May I ask what you'ro doing hero?"

"I know Jwo'vo no business hero whatever; but "May I Ask What You're Doing Here?" He Bluntly Asked. It happons to bo my old homo, and I only landed from Australia last night. I'm on tho river for tho first time, and 'nlmply had to havo n look around." Tho other big man had looked far from propltlatod by tho earlier of tbeso romarks, but tho closing sen tences had worked n change. "Aro you young Mr. Cazalet?" be cried. "I nm, or rather I was," laughed Cazalet, still on his mcttlo. "You'vo read nil about tho enso then, I don't mind betting!" exclaimed tbo other with a Jerk of his topper to ward tho Iioubo bohind him. "I've read all 1 found In tho papers last night and this morning, and such arrears as 1'vo been ablo to lay my bands on," said Cazalet. "ilut, as 1 toll you, my ship only got In from Aus tralia last night, and I camo round all jtho way In her. There wnB nothing jln tho English papers when wo (touched at Genoa." looking him up nnd down. "Well, Mr. Cazalet, my name's Drlnkwater, nnd I'm from Scotland Yard. I huppen to Ibo In chnrgo of tho caso." "1 guessed as much," said Cazalet, and this surprised lllancho more than ianythlng else from him. Yet nothing labout him was any longor llko tbo Qweep ot othor days, or ot any previ ous part of that vory afternoon. And tkU was also easy to understand on ill a y J )x Mi s wmk i)mjmm wuHM IVni II U lltlffllAW fl ftk71 I ffn VttflJtML reflection; for If be tnoant to stand by tho hapless Scruton, guilty or not guilty, bo could not perhaps begin bet tor than by getting on good terms with tho police. Ilut hla rendy tact, and In that caso cunning, woro cer tainly a rovolatlon to ono . who had known him mnrvclously ns boy and youth. "I mustn't nsk questions," ho con tinued, "hut I see you'ro still search ing for things, Mr. Drinkwntor." "Still minding our own Job." said Sir Drlnkwatcr genially. Thoy had sauntered on with him to the corner of tho hoiiBo, and seen a bowler lint bobbing In tho shrubbery down tho drive. Cnzalet laughed llko a man. "Well, I needn't tell you I know ev ery Inch of tho old place," ho said; "that Is, barring alterations," as lllancho caught his eyo, "Hut 1 expect this search Is narrowed, rather?" "Itather," said Mr Drlnkwatcr, standing still In tho drlvo. Ho had also taken out a presentation gold half-hunter, sultnbly Inscribed in mem ory of one of his moro bloodless vic tories. Ilut Cazulet could nlwnyB be obtuse, and now ho refused to look an Inch lower than tho detective Inspector's bright brown eyca. "There's Just ono placo that's oc curred to me, Mr. Drlnkwntcr, that perhaps may not bavo occurred to you." "Where's thnt. Mr. Cazalet?" "In tho room whoro tho room itsolf." Mr. Drlnkwatcr'a long stare ended In an Indulgent smile. "You can show mo If you like," said bo indifferently. "Hut I supposo you know wo'vo got tho man?" CHAPTER VII. After Michael Angelo. "I was thinking of his cap," said Cazalet, but only as thoy returned to tho tradesmen's door, and Just as lllancho put In her word, "What about mo?" Mr. Drlnkwater eyed the trim white llguro standing In the sun. "The moro tho merrier!" bis grim humor had It. "I dnro say you'll bo nblo to teach us a thing or two as well, miss," Sho could not help nudging Caznlot In recognition of this shaft. Hut Caza let did not look round; he had now set foot In his old home. It wna all strangely still nnd Inactive, ns though domestic nnlmntlon had been suspended Indefinitely. Yet tho open kitchen door revealed a femalo form In mufti; n sullen fnco looked out of tho pantry as they passed; and through tho old green door (only now It was n red ono) they found another bowler hat bent over n pink paper at tbo foot of tho stairs. Thorp was a glitter of eyes under tho howler's brim ub Mr. Drinkwntor conducted his friends Into tho library. Tho library wns n square room of respectable size, but very close and dim with the ono Kronen window closed and curtained. Mr. Drlnkwa ter shut tho door as well, and switched on all tho electric lamps. Tho electric light had been put In by tho Cravens; all tho other fixtures In tho room were ns Cazalet remembered them. Hut tho former son of tho bouse gnvo himself no tlmo to waste In sontl mental comparisons. Ho tapped a pair of mahogany doors, llko tlioso of a wardrobo lot Into tho wall. "Havo you looked In hero?" do manded Cazalet. "What's tho uso of looking In a ci gar cupboard?" Drlnkwntcr mado mild Inquiry. "Clgnr cupboard!" echoed Cnzalet in disgust. "Did ho really only use It for his cigars?" "A cigar cupboard," repeated Drlnk wntcr, "and locked up nt the tlmo it happened. Whnt wns It, It I may nuk, in Mr. Cnzalefo tlmo?" "I remombor!" camo suddenly from Blanche; but Cnzalet only said, "Oh, woll, If you know It was locked thero'o an end of It." Drlnkwater went to tbo door and summoned his subordinate. "Just fetch that chap from tho pantry, Tom," said ho; but the sulleu sufforer from pollco rule took his time, In splto of thorn, nnd was sharply rated when ho nppenred. "I thought you toia mo tnis wns a cigar cupboard?" continued Drlnk water, In tho browbeating tono of bis first words to Cazalet outside. "So it is," said the man. "Then wboro's tho koy?" "How should I know? I never kept It!" cried tho butler, crowing over his oppressor for a chango. "Ho would keep it on bis own bunch; find his watch, and all the othor things that wcro missing from his pockets when your men went through 'em, and you may find his keys, too!" Drinkwntor gave his man a double signal; tho door slammed on a petty triumph for tho servants' hall; but now both lnvadors remained within, "Try your hand on it, Tom," said the superior officer. "I'm a freo-lanco here," ho explained somewhat super fluously to tho others, as Tom applied himself to tho lock In ono mahogany door. "Man's been drinking, I should say He'd bettor bo careful, ot-ctibsa I don't tako to him, drunk or sober. I'm not surprised at his master not trusting him. It's Just posslblo that tho placo was open ho might have boon gottlng out hla- cigars before dinner but I can't say I think there's much In it, Mr. Cazalet." It was open again broken open boforo many minutes; and certainly thcro was not much In It, to be seen, except cigars. Boxes of tbeso were stacked on what might have been meant for a shallow desk (tho whole placo was shallow ns tho wardrobo that tho doors suggested, but lighted high up at ono end by a llttlo barred window of Its own) nnd according to Cazalet a desk It had really been. His poor father ought never to have been u business man; ho ought to havo been a poet. Cazalet said this now as simply as ho had said It to Hilton Toyo on board tho Kaiser Fritz. Only bo went rather further for the boneflt of tho gentlemen from Scot land Yard, who took not tho faintest Interest In tho lato Mr. Cazalet, be yond poking their noses into his dt mlnutlvo sanctum and duly turning them up nt what thoy saw. "IIo used to complain that ho was novor loft In peace on Saturdays and Sundays, which of courso wcro hla You Ought to Have Been a Burglar, Sir," Said Mr. Drlnkwater. only quiet times for writing," said the son, elaborating hla talo with filial piety. "So onco when I'd been trying to dlo of scnrlct fever, and my mother brought mo back from Hastings nfter sho'd bnd mo thero somo tlmo, tho old governor told us ho'd got a place where he could disappear from the district at a moment's notlco nnd yet bo bnck In nnother moment If we rans tho gong. I fancy ho'd got to tell her where It wns, pretty quick; but I only found out for myself by accident. Years afterward he told me he'd got the Idea from Jean Ingolow'a place Id Itnly somewhere" "It's In Klorence," said Blanche laughing. "I'vo been there and seen It, nnd It's the exnet snme thing. But you menn Michael Angelo, Sweep!" "Oh, do I?" ho said serenely. "Well I shall never forget how I found out Its existence" "No more Bhall I. You told' me all about It at tho time, ns a terrific se cret, nnd I may toll you that I've kept It from that day to this!" "You would," bo said simply. "But think of hnvlng tho nervo to pull up tho governor's floor! It only shows what a boy will do. I wonder If the hole's thcro still!" Now all tho time tho planetary de tective had been watching his satel lite engaged In an nttempt to render tho damngo dono to tho mahogany doors a llttlo less conspicuous Nei ther appeared to bo taking nny further Interest in tho clgnr cupbonrd, or pay ing tbo slightest attention to Caza let's reminiscences. But Mr. Drlnk wntcr happened to havo heard evory word, and In the last sentence thero was one thnt caused him to prick up his export enrs Instinctively. "Wbat'B that about a hole?" said he, turning round. "I wns reminding Miss Macnalr how tho place first camo to be" "Yes, yes. But what about somo holo in tho floor?" "I mado ono myself with one of thoso knives that contain nil sorts of ot things, including n saw. It was ono Saturday afternoon In tho summer hol idays. I camo In here from tbo gar den as my fathor went out by that door Into tho hall, leaving ono of tncBo mahogany doora open by mis take It was tho chance of my life; in I slipped to havo a look. Ho camo back for something, eaw tho vory door you'vo broken standing ajar, and ahut It without looking In. So there I was In a nice old trap! 1 simply daren't call out and glvo myself away. Thero was a bit of looso oilcloth on the floor" "Thero Is still," said the satellite, pausing In his task. "I moved tho oilcloth, in tho end; hawked up ono end ot tho board (luck- lly thoy weren't groove nnd tongue), sawed through tho next one to It, had It up, too, nnd, got through Into tho foundntloiiB, leaving everything much ns I hnd found it. Tho plnco Is so small thnt the oilcloth wns obliged to fnll In place if It fell anywhere. But I had plenty of time, bocnuso my people hnd gono In to dinner." "You ought to have been a burglar, sir," said Mr. Drlnkwater Ironically. "So you covered up n Bin with a crime, llko halt tho gentlemen who go through my hands for tbo first and last tlmo! But how did you got out ot the foundations?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Mil KilllS I FOREIGN 8TEEL ORDERS COST NEBRASKA $900,000.

I strolled into a bank in ono of tho cltlcB of tho west a short time ago and tho bank manager said "after tho wnr, tho Canadians should bo pro pared for a great Influx of people.

Ono might hnvo thought ho was n sub sidized booster for Cnnada. "Ilut," ho said "they won't go until ufter tbo wnr " "Woll, now, Mr. , why wnlt un til after tho war? If nil you sny be true, and you havo said nothing yet of tho wonderful bank clearings of Cnnada today, nothing of the fnct that tho Immense Grain cron of Western Cnnada this year has given to every man. woman nnd child In that coun try, over three hundred dollars per bend, why wnlt until nfter the wnr? After tho wnr, under such conditions as you have pictured (and which aro real) land values will go up. prices will incrense Advnntago should be takon of tho low prices at which these agricultural lands can bo bad today.

Then too, thero Is tho report thnt there 1b a henvy wnr tax on lunds." 1 was surprised to learn thnt these old yarns, stories that I thought had been exploded long ugo, wero still do ing duty in many parts of tho United States, and that a gentleman of the wldo learning of my friend, was In clined to believe them. "Conscription!" I said. "With Can nda contributing 250,000 men voluntari ly enlisted, why conscription? Thero Is no conscription In Canada, nnd nelthor will thero be. It is not need ed. In nny case no legislation could be passed by tho Dominion Parliament which would Impose military service upon pcoplo who aro not cltUens of Canada, either by birth or naturaliza tion. Settlers from tho United States could not become naturalized British subjects until they bad resided In Canada continuously for three years." I quoted from oltlclal documents. "In tho first few months of the war l clearly stated that thcro would not be conscription In Canada. I repeat that statement today." "And then ns to taxes," 1 continued, quoting again from ofllclal authority. "All taxes levied by tbo Kederal Gov ernment tako tho indirect form of cus toms excise nnd lnlnnd rovonuo du ties. It Is untrue that farmers are paying direct war-tax levies and no lntondlnc settlor need hesltnto to come to Cnnnda on this account "Ofllclal denials should convlnco you that all apprehensions which have been making somo would-be-settlers from tho United Stntes hesltnto to ranko n chnnge whllo tho wnr lasts aro without foundation.
