"Oh, that wan as easy aa plo; I'd
ofton explored thorn. Do you remom
bor the row I got Into, DIancho, for
taking you with mo onco and simply
ruining your frock?"
"I romembor tho frock!" said
Dlanche.
It wai hor ladt contribution to tho
conversation; Immediate dovelop
monU not only put an ond to the fur
ther exchange of ancient memories,
but rendered it presently Impossible
by removing Cazalot from tho scene
with the two detectives. AlmoBt with
out warning all three disappeared
down the makeshift trap-door cut by
one of them as a schoolboy In his
father's floor.
She hardly even knew how It hap
pened. Tho little place was so small
that she never saw tho hole until It
bad engulfed two of tho trio; the third
biplorer, Mr. Drlnkwator himself, had
very courteously turned her out of the
library before following the others.
And he had said so very little before
hand for her to hear, and so quickly
prevented Cazalet from saying any
thing at all, that she simply could not
think what any of thorn were doing
under the floor.
Under her very feet she heard them
Moving as she waited a bit in the hall;
thon she left the house by way of the
servants' quarters, of course without
holding any communication with those
tnutinoors, and only Indignant that
Mr. Drlnkwator should have requested
her not to do so.
It was a long half-hour that followed
for Dlanche Macnalr, but sho passed it
characteristically.
She turned her wholesome mind to
logs, which in some ways sho knew
better and trusted further than men.
Thoro was a dog at Uplands, and as
yet she had aeon nothing of him; he
lived in a largo kennel In the yard,
for he was a large dog nnd rather
friondless. Dut Dlanche know him by
eight, and had felt always Borry for
him.
The large kennel was JuBt outside
the back door, which wbb at the top
f the collar stepa and at the bot
tom of two or throe leading into the
scullery; but Dlanche, of course, went
round by the garden. She found the
poor old dog quite disconsolate In a
more canine kennel In a corner of the
one that waa really worthy of the
more formidable carnlvora. There was
very sign at his being treated as the
dangerous dog that Dlanche, Indeed,
bad heard be waa; the outer bars were
further protected by wire nottlng,
which stretched like a canopy over
the whole cage; but Dlanche let her
elf in with aa little hesitation as sho
proceeded to board the poor brute
In his inner lair. And he novor vn
barked at her; he Just lay whimpering
wiut nis tearrul noso between his two
front tfawB, as though his dead master
bad not left him to tho servants all
bis life.
Blancho coaxed and pWted him un
til ahe almost wept herself; then sud
denly and without warning the dog
bowed his worst sldo. Out ho leaped
from wooden sanctuary,' almost knock
ing her down, and barking horribly,
but not at Dlanche. Sho followed his
Infuriated eyes; nnd tho back door
way framed a dusty and grimy figure.

cellar stairs, which Dlanche had somo
difficulty In identifying with that or
Oaxalet
"Well, you really are a Sweep!" she
cried when ahe bad slipped out Just
la time, and the now savage dog waa
till butting and clawing at bis bars.
"How did you come out, and whore
are the enemy T"
"The old way," he answered. "I left
them down there."
"And what did you flndT"
"I'll tell you later. I can't hear my
voice for that infernal dog."
The dreadful barking followed them
out Into the yard, and round to the
right, past the tradesmen's door, to
the verge of the drive. Hero they met
an elderly man in a tremendous hurry
an unstable dotard who Instantly
abandoned whatever purpose he bad
formed, and came to anchor In front
ef them with rheumy eyes and twitch
ing wrinkles.

ho quavered "Do you hear our Hoy,
idIhh? I hu'n't heard that go on tlko
that since the night that happened!"
Then Cnzalet Introduced himself to
the old gardener whom ho had known
all hlH life; and by rights tho man
should havo wept outright, or else
omitted a rustic epigram laden with
wlso humor. Hut old Savage hallod
from ollly Suffolk, and all IiIb life ho
had belled his aurnamo, but never tho
ulllteratlvo libel on hla natlvo county.
Ho took tho wanderer's roturn very
much as a matter of courso, very
much an though ho had novor been
away at all, and was demonstrative
only In his further ubo of tho Bast
Anglian pronoun.
"That's a long tlmo slnco wo fared
to nee you, Mtis' Walter," Bald ho;
"that's a right long tlmo! And now
hero's n nice kcttlo of fish for you
to And! Hut I scon tho man, Mus'
Wnlter. and wo'll bring that homo to
him, never you fear!"
"Aro you euro that you saw hlm7"
asked DIancho, nlready under Caza
let's lnfluenco on this point.
Savage looked cautiously toward
tho houso bofore replying; then ho
lowered his voice dramatically. "Suro,
MIsb DIancho. Why, I sou him that
night as plain as I faro to see Mus'
Walter now!"
"I should have thoueht It wn tnn
dark to boo anybody properly," said
iJiaucne, anu cazalet nodded vigorous
ly to himself.
"Dark, Miss DIancho? Why, thore

at the station this very afternoon, I
did! I promised not to talk about
that you'll keep that a secret If I tell
'e Bomethln'? but I picked him out
of half a dozen at the first time of
askln'!"
Savage said this with a pleased and
vacuous grin, looking Cazalet full In
the face; his rheumy eyes were red
as the sunset they faced; and Cazalet
arew a deep breath as DIancho and he
turned back toward tho river.
"Plrat time of prompting, I expect!"
ho whispered. "Dut there's hope if
Savage Is their strongest witness."
"Only listen to that dog," said
Dlanche, as they passod the yard.
CHAPTER VIII.
FlngerPrlnts.
Hilton Toye was tho kind of Ameri
can who know London as well as moat
Londoners, and some other canltaln a
good deal better than their respective
citizens or corresponding Intelligence.
Ills travels were mysteriously but en
viably Interwoven with business; he
had an air of onjoylng hlmsoir, and at
the Bamo tlmo making money to pay
for his enjoyment, wherever be went.
His hotel days wero much the same all
over Europo: many appointments, but
abundant leisure As, however, ho
never spoke about his own affairs un
less they were nlso those of the lis
tener and not always then half his
acquaintances had no Idea how ho
made his monoy, and the other half
wondered how he spent his time, or
hlB mere Interests, which were many,
Toye made no such secret; but It was
quite Impossible to deduce a main In
dustry from the by-products of his
level-headed versatility.
Criminology, for oxamplo, was an
obvious by-product; It waa no morbid
tasto In Hilton Toye, but a scientific
hobby that appealed to his mental
auDtiety. And subtle he wbb, yet
with strange simplicities; grave and
dignified, yet addicted to the expres
sive pnraseoiogy or his less onllght
onod countrymon; naturally sincere.
anu yot always capable or somo In
gonuouB duplicity,
Tho appeal or a DIancho Macnalr to
Buch a Boul needs no analysis. She
had struck through all complexities to
tho coro, such as It was or as sho
might make It. As yet she could only
admlro tho character tho man had
Bhown. though It had upset her none
tho less At Engelborg ho had pro
posed to hor "Inaldo or two wookB,"
as ho had admitted without compunc
tion at the tlmo. It had taken him,
he said, about two minutes to make
up his mind; but tho rollowlng sum
mer he had laid more doltborate slego,
In accordance with somo old Idea that
Bhe had lot fall to aoften hor flret re
fusal. Tho result had been the same,
only more explicit on both Bides. She
had donled him the least particle of
hope, and he had warned hor that she
bad not heard the last of him by any
means, and never would till she mar
rled another man. This had Incensed
her at the time, but a treat Hnni !
on BiibBoquent reflection; and such
was tho position botween that pair
when Toye and Cazalet landed In Eng.
land from the same steamer.
On this second day aahore, as Caza
let Bat over a lato breakfast In Jer
myn atreot, Toyo sent In his card and
was permitted to follow It, rathor to
his surprise. Ho found his man frank
ly divided between kldnoyB-and-bacon
and the morning paper, but In a hearty
mood. Indicative of amends for his
i great heat In yesterday' argument
A plainer Indication was tho down
right yet sunny iniinnor in which Caza
let "at onco returned to the contentloui
topic.
"Well, my dear Toye, what do yot
think of It now?"
"I was going to ask you what yot
thought, but I guess I can see from
your faco."
"I think tho pollco are rotters fni
not Hotting him free last night!"
"Scruton?"
"Yes. Of courso, tho ense'll breal
down when It cornea on next week bin
they oughtn't to wait for that. They've
no right to detain n niun In cuatod)
when tho bottom's out of their caat
already."
"Hut but tho papors claim thoy'vi
found tho very things thoy wort
Boarchlng for." Toye looked non
plUBcd, as well ho might, by nn appar
cntly porverao Jubilation over audi In
tolllgenco
"Thoy haven't found the mlsslnj
cap I" crowed Cazalet. "What thej
havo round la Cravon's watch and
keys, nnd tho stiver-mounted trun
cheon that killed him. Dut thoy found
them In a place where thoy couldn't
possibly havo been put by the man
Identlflod as Scruton!"
"8ay, whoro wbb that?" asked Toye
with great Interest "My paper only!
says tho things were found, notj
where"
"No more does mine, but I enn tollj
you, becauso I helped to And 'em."
"You don't say!"
"You'll novor grasp whoro," conttnj
ued Cazalet. "In tho foundations un
der tho houso!"
Details followed In all fullness; the
listener might havo had a part In the
Uplands net of yesterday's drama,
might havo played In the library scene
with his adored Miss DIancho, so viv
idly was evory minute of that crowd
ed hour brought homo to him. Ho waa
not so sure that he had any very defl
nlto concoptlon or tho foundations of,
an English houso. ,
"Ours wore like ever so many little,
tiny rooms," said Cazalet, "where I
couldn't stand nearly upright oven as
a small boy without gjvlng my head a
crack against the ground floors. They

but nearly ratal to the boss police
man yesterday!"
Hilton Toyo, edging In his word,
nald ho guessed he visualized but Just
where had those missing things been
round?
"Three or rour compartments from
the llrst one under the library." aald
Cazalet
"Did you find them?"
"Well, I kicked against the trun
chcon, but Drlnkwator dug It up. The
watch and keys were with it"
"Say, wero they buried?"
"Only In the loose rubble and brick
dusty stuff that you get In founda
tions." "Say, that's bad! That murderei
must have known something, or elas
It'a a bully fluke In bis favor."
"I don't follow you, Toye."
"I'm thinking of finger-prints. II
he'd Just've laid those things right
down, he'd have lett the print or his
hand as large aa lire ror Scotland
Yard."
"Tho devil he would!" exclaimed
Cazalet. "I wish you'd explain," he
added; "remember I'm a wild man
from tho woods, and only know of
these things by tho vaguest kind of
hearsay and stray paragraphs In the
papors. I never knew you could leave
your mark bo easily as all that."
Toyo took tho breakfast menu and
placed It face downward on tho table
cloth. "Lay your hand on that, palm
down," ho Bald, "and don't move It
for a minute."
Cazalet looked at him a moment
bofore complying; then his fine, shape
ly, sunburnt hand lay still as plaster
undor their eyes until Toye told him
ho might take It up. Of course there
was no mark whatever, and Cazalet
laughed.
"You should havo caught mo when
I came up rrom those foundations,
not fresh rrom my tub!" said he.
"You wait," replied Hilton Toye,
taking tho menu gingerly by the edge,
and putting It out of harm's way In
the empty toast-rack. "You can't see
anything now, but if you come round
to the Savoy I'll show you something."
"What?"
"Your prints, sir! I don't say I'm
Scotland Yard at the game, but I can
do it well enough to show you how
It's done. You haven't left your mark
upon the paper, but I guess you've left
tho sweat of your hand; If I snow a
little French chalk over It, the chalk'll
stick where your band did, and blow
off easily everywhere else. Say, com
round to lunch and I'll have your
prints ready ror you. I'd Ilka aw
fully to show you bow it'a dona."

that he was on tho safe sldo, and
when his mother asked bim what the

THE FIRST TA8TE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Boy.
If parents realized tho fact that cor
reo contains a drug caffelno which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
them coffeo to drink.
"When I was a child In my mother'
arms and first began to nibble things
at tho table, mother used to give me
sips of coffeo. And so I contracted
tho coffeo habit early.
"I continued to uso coffeo until I waa
27, and when I got Into office work I
began to havo norvous spells. Espe
cially after broakfast I was so nerv
ous I could scarcely attend to my cor
respondence. "At night, after having had coffee
for auppor, I could hardly sleep, and
