CHAPTER XXIII Continued.
Apparently only n i'ow minutes
olapseil , during which my eyes were
becoming nccuutomod to the darkness.
Then I noticed Unit the windows were
reflecting n faint pinkish light ; Llddy
noticed it nt the muno tlmu , and I
heard her Jump up. At that moment
Sam's deep volco boomed from Homo-
whcro just bolow.
'Tirol" ho yelled. "Tho stablo'B on
Ore ! "
I could HCO htm In the glare dancing
up and down on the drive , and a mo
ment later Hnlsoy joined him. Alex
was awakn and running down the
Blairs , and in five minutes from the
tlmo llio flro was discovered three of
the innldavero Hitting on their trunks
in the drlvo , although , excepting a few
Bparks , thcro was no flro nearer than
100 yards.
Gertrude seldom loses her presence
nf mind , and she ran to the telephone ,
nut by the tlmo the Casanova volun
teer flro department came tolling up
the hill the stable was a furnace , with
the Dragon My safe but blistered ,
In the road. Some gasollno exploded
just as the volunteer department got
to work , which shook their nerves an
well as the burning building. The
ntable , being on n hill , was a torch to
attract the population from oyory di
rection.
The stable was off the west wing. I
hardly luiow how I came to think of
the circular , stalrcasn and the un
guarded door at Its foot. Llddy was
putting my clothes Into shoots , pre
paratory to tossing them out the win
dow , when I found her , and I could
hardly persuade her to stop.
"I want you to como with mo ,
Llddy , " I said. "Bring a candle and a
couple of blankets. "
She lagged behind considerably
when she saw mo making for the casl
wing , and at the top of the staircase
oho balked.
"I am not going down there , " she
nald firmly.
"Thcro is no one guarding the door
down there , " I explained. "Who
knows ? Uils may bo a scheme to
draw everybody away from thla end
of the houao , and lot some one In
here. "
The Instant I had said It I was con
vinced I had hit on the explanation
and that perhaps It was already too
lute. It seemed to mo r.s I listened
that I heard stealthy footsteps on the
east porch , but thcro was BO much
shouting outside that , it was Impos
alhlo to toll. Llddy was on the point
of retreat.
"Very well , " I Bald , "then I shall go
down alono. Run back to Mr. Ilalsey's
room and get his revolver. Don't
ahoot down the stairs If you hear a
noise ; rcinember I shall bo down
there. And hurry. "
I put the candle on the lloor at the
top of the staircase and took off uiy
bedroom slippers. Then I crept down
the stairs , going very slowly , and
listening with all uiy cars. Just tit the
foot of tlio stairs I stubbed my too
against Halscy's big chair , and had to
stand on ono foot In a soundless agony
until the pain subsided to a dull ache.
And 'then I know 1 was right. Someone
ono had put a key Into the lock , and
*
was turning it. For some reason It
refused to work , and th9 key was
withdrawn. There was a muttering of
voices outside ; I had only a second.
Another trial , and the door wouM
open. The candle above made a faint
gleam down the well-llko staircase ,
and at that moment , with a second ,
no more , to spare , I thought of a plan.
The heavy oak chair almost tilled
the space between the newel post and
the door. With a crash I had turned
it on Ho side , wedging It against
tlio door , its legs against the stairs. I
could hoar a faint scream from Llddy
nt the crash and then she came down
the stairs on a run , with the revolver
held straight out In front ot her.
"Thank God , " she snld , In a shaking
voice. "I thought It was you. "
I pointed to the door , and she un
derstood.
"Call out of the windows at the
other end of the house , " I whispered
"Run. Toll them not to wait for any
thing "
It Went Off , Right Through the Door.
She went , up the stairs at that , two
at a time' Evidently she collided
with the candle , for It wont out , and
I was loft in darkness.
I was really astonishingly cool. I
remember stopping over the chair and
gluing my car to the door , and I shall
never forgot fooling It give an Inch or
two there In the darkness , under a
Hteady pressure from without. But
the chair held , although I could hear
an ominous cracking of one of the
logs. And then , without the slightest
Warning , the cardroom window broke
with a crash. I had my finger on the
trigger ot the revolver , and as I
Jumped It went off , right through the
door. Some ono outsldo swore round
ly , and for the first tlmo I could hear
what was Bald.
"Only a scratch. . . . Men are at
the other end ot the house. . . .
Have the whole rat's nest on us.1
And a lot of profanity which I won't
wrlto , down. The voices were at the
broken window now , and although I
was trembling violently , I was de
termined that I would hold them until
help came. I moved up the stairs un
til I could HOO Into the cardroom , or
rather through It , to the window. As
I looked a small man put his log over
the sill and stepped Into the room.
The curtain confused him for a mo
ment ; then ho turned , not toward me ,
but toward the billiard room door. I
fired again , and something that was
glass or china crashed to the ground.
Then I ran up the stairs and along the
corridor to the main staircase. Ger
trude wijs standing there , trying to
locate the shots , and I must have
been a peculiar figure , with my hair
In crimps , my dressing-gown Hying , no
slippers , and a revolver clutched in
my hand. I had no tlmo to talk.
There was the sound of footsteps In
the lower hall , and some ono bounded
un the stairs.
I had gone Berserk , I think. I
loaned over the stafr-rall and fired
again. Halsoy , polow , yelled at me.
"What are you doing up there ? " ho
yelled. "You missed 1119 by an Inch. "
And then I collapsed and fainted.
When I came around Llddy was rub
bing my temples with can do quinine ,
and the ucarch was In full blast.
Well , the man was gone. The stable
burned to the ground , whllo the crowd
cheered at every falling ratfor , and
the volunteer flro department sprayed
It with a garden host- . And in the
iiouso Alex and Halsey searched every
corner ot the lower floor , finding no
ono.
ono.The
The truth of my story was shown
by the broken window and the over
turned chair. That the unknown had
got upstairs was almost' Impossible ,
lie had not used the main staircase ,
thcro was no way to the upper lloor
In the east wing , and Llddy had been
at the window , In tlm west wing ,
where the servants' stair wont up. But
wo did not go to bed at all. Sam Bo-
hannon and Warner helped In the
search , and not a closet escaped
scrutiny. Even the collars were given
a thorough overhauling , without re
sult. The door In the east entry had
a hole through It where my bullet had
gone , The hole slanted downward ,
and the bullet was embedded In the
porch. Some reddish stains showed It
had done execution.
"Somebody will walk lame , " Halioy
said , when ho had marked , the course
of the bullet. "It's too low"to havhlt
anything but a leg or foot. "
From that time on I watched o7ory
person 1 met for a limp , and to this
day the man who halts In his walk Is
an object of suspicion to mo. Out
Casanova had no lame men ; the near
est approach to It was an old fellow
who tended the safety gates at the
rnl'road ' , and he , I learned on Inquiry ,
had two artificial legs. Our man had
gone , and the large and expensive
stable at Sunnysldo was a heap of
smoking rafters and charred * boards.
Warner swore the flro was Incendiary ,
and iu view of the attempt to enter
the house , there ceemod to be no
doubt of It.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Flinders.
If Ilalsey had only taken mo fully
Into his confidence through the whole
affair It would have been much sim
pler. If ho had been altogether frank
about Jack Bailey , and If the day after
the ilro ho had told mo what ho sus
pected , there would have been no har
rowing period for all of us , with the
boy In danger. But young people re
fuse to 'profit by the experience of
their elders , and sometimes the elders
are the ones to suffer.
I was much used up the day after
the flre , and Gertrude Insisted on my
going out. The machine was tempo
rarily out of commission , and the car
riage horses had been sent to a farm
for the summer. Gertrude finally got
a trap from the Casanova liveryman ,
and wo wont out. Just as wo turned
from thu drive Into the road we passed
a woman. She had put down a small
valise , and stood Inspecting the house
and grounds minutely. I should hard
ly have noticed her had It not been
for the fact that she had been horribly
disfigured by smallpox.
"Ugh ! " Gertrude said , when we had
passed , "what a facel I shall dream
of It to-iilght. Got up , Flinders. "
"Flinders ? " I asked. "Is that the
horse's name ? "
"It Is. " She lllcked the horse's
stubby mane with the whip. "He
didn't look like a livery horse , and
the liveryman said ho hud bought
him from the Armstrongs whnn they
purchased a couple of motors , and cut
down the stable. Nice Flinders good
old boy ! "
Flinders was certainly not a com
mon name for a horse , and yet the
youngster at Richfield had named his
prancing , curly-haired little horse
Flinders ! It sot mo to thinking.
At my request Halsoy had alreadj
sent word of the flro to the agent
from whom mo had secured the house
Also , he had called Mr. .Tamioson b >
telephone , and somewhat guardedly
had told him of the previous night's
events. Mr. Jamleson promised to
como out that night , and to bring an
other man with him. I did not con
shier it necessary to notify Mrs. Arm
strong , In the village. No doubt she
knew of the flro , and In view ot m >
refusal to give up the house nn Inter
view would probably 'have been un
pleasant enough. But as wo passed
Dr. Walker's white and green house
I thought of something.
"Stop hero , Gertrude , " I said. "
am going to get out. "
"To see Louise ? " she asked.
"No , I want to ask this young Walker
something. "
She was curious , I know , but I dh
not wait to explain. I went up the
walk to the house , where a brass sign
at the side announced the office , am
went In. The reception room was
mpty , but from the consultation
'room beyond came the Bound of two
voices , not very amlcablo.
"It is an outrageous figure , " someone
ono was storming. Then the doctor's
quiet tone , evidently not arguing
merely stating something. But I hat
not tlmo to listen to some porsoi
probably disputing his bill , BO
coughed , The voices ceased at once
a door closed somewhere , and the doc
tor entered from the hall of the house
Ho looked sufficiently surprised at see
Ing mo.
"Good afternoon , Coctor , " I sal
formally. "I shall not keep you from
your patient. I wish merely to ask a
question "
"Won't you sit down ? "
"It will not bo necessary. Doctor ,
has any ono como to you , either early
his morning or to-day , to have you
real a bullet wound ? "
"Nothing so startling has happened
o me , " ho said. "A bullet wound !
Things must bo lively at Sunnysldo. "
"I didn't say it was at Sunnyslde.
But as 11 happens , it was. If any such
case conies to you , will it bo too much
rouble for you to lot mo know ? "
"I shall bo only too happy , " ho said.
'I understand you have had a flro up.
hero , loo. A flre and shooting In ono
light Is rather lively for a quiet place
Ike that. "
"It IH as quiet as a boiler-shop , " I
replied , as I turned to go.
"And you are still going to stay ? "
"Until I am burned out , " I respond
ed. And then , on my way down the
steps , I turned around suddenly.
"Doctor. " I asked at a venture ,
'have you ever heard of a child
mined Luclen Wallace ? "
Clever as he was , his face changed
and stiffened. He was on his guard
again In a moment.
"Luclen Wallace ? " ho repeated.
'No , I think not. There are plenty of
Wallaces around , but I don't know any
Luclen. "
I was as certain as possible that
ho did. People do not lie : eadlly to
me , and this man Hod beyond a doubt.
But there waa nothing to bo gained
now ; his defenses were up , and I loft ,
half Irritated and wholly baffled.
Our reception was entirely different
at Dr. Stewart's. Taken Into the
bosom of the family at once , Flinders
tied outside and nibbling the grass at
the roadside , Gertrude and I drank
some home-made elderberry wine and
told briefly of the flre. Of the more
serious part of the night's experience ,
of course , wo said nothing. But when
at last wo had left the family on the
porch and the good doctor was unty
ing our steed , I asked him the same
question I had put to Dr. Walker.
"Shot ! " ho said. "Bless my soul ,
no. Why , what have you been doing
up at the big house , Miss Innes ? "
"Somo one tried to enter the house
during the lire , and was shot and
slightly Injured , " I said hastily.
"Please don't mention It ; we wish to
make as llttlo of It as possible. "
There was one other possibility , and
wo tried that. At Casanova station I
saw the station master , and asked him
If any trains left Casanova between
ono o'clock and daylight. There was
none until 0 a. m. The next question
required more diplomacy.
"Did you notice on the six o'clock
train any person any man who
limped a little ? " I asked. "Please
try to remember ; we are trying to
trace a man who was seen loitering
around Sunnysldo last night before
the flre. "
He was all attention In a moment.
"I was up there myself at the flre , "
he said volubly. "I'm a member of
the volunteer company. First big flro
we've had since the summer house
burned over to the club golf links.
My wife was sayln' the other day ,
'Dave , you might as well 'a' saved the
money In that there helmet and shirt. "
And hero last night they came In
handy. Rang that bell so hard I
hadn't time scarcely to got 'em on. "
"And did you sou a man who
limped ? " Gertrude put In , as ho
stopped for breath. ,
"Not at the train , ma'm , " ho said.
"No such person got on here to-day.
But I'll tell you where I did see a
man that limped. 1 didn't wait till the
company left ; there's a fast freight
goes through at1:45 : , and I had to
get down to the station. I seen there
wasn't much more to do anyhow at
the flre we'd got the flames under con
trol" Gertrude looked at me and
smiled "so I started down the hill.
There was folk hero and there goln'
home , and along by the path to the
Country club I seen two men. Ono
was a short fellow. He was sitting on
a big rock , his back to me , and he
had something white In his hand , as if
ho was tying up his foot. After I'd
gene on a piece I looked back , and ho
was hobbling on and excuse mo , miss
ho was swearing souiothlng sicken

TURTLE VERY..HARD TO KILL
Ono Found Alive Embedded In Clay ,
but Glacial Period Theory Waa
Disputed ,
The weekly meeting of the Faunal
Naturalists' club of West Hurley , N.
Y. , was enlivened by a debate on the
subject , "Resolved , That the turtle la
a hlnsoct. " The negative got the do-
' | ROII | , holding that It Is u parable-
The members of the club work on
th v\sliokan dam. They were ton feet
dowii In a seam of clay when ono of
them came upon a rock. With diffi
culty ho persuaded the other men to
quit work long enough to look at It.
After they had viewed It they called
the oiig'lneors. These men imidc the
laborers dig further ; then It was seen
that ono side of the rock was marked
like n turtle shell.
When the caked clay had been re
moved froih the other side of the rock
the engineers were satisfied that they
had found a petrified turtle. They put
It Into a pall of hot water. By and by
one man said sadly that ho guessed
"petrified" should begin with "p-u" In-
Ulead of "p-e. "
The author of this suggestion upset
the pall with his foot , and soon the
turtle himself settled the question. A
seamed and wrinkled head , In which a
pair of white eyes blinked , was shoved
out from the shell , and then a foot ap
peared. The other feet came into
view within a few moments , and the
turtle crawled painfully away.
The F. N. club eagerly seized upon
the discovery aa a topic for Its next
meeting. The members were tired of
hearing essays ou the hydra-headed
monster , which has figured so much In
the affairs of the Ashokan dam , and
the presiding officer had trouble In
keeping the debates In order when the
new subject was declared open.
One engineer told the club that the
turtle had probably become Imbedded
in the clay In the glacial period and
had boon caught In a nap In the win
ter of , say , . ' { 1,072 B. C.
The argument that won thu debate
for the negative , however , was that
the turtle had been caught the winter -
tor before work was started on the
Ashokan project. Every requirement
of antiquity being met by this theory ,
which had the added virtue of sym
bolizing the rate of progress on the
dam work , the judges lound accord
ingly.
Cause of the Tldea.
The tides are due wholly to the at
tractive force of the sun and moon
Every particle of matter composing
the earth gravitates toward the moon
Inversely as the square of Its dfa-
tance.
By the law of gravity the attractive
force of the sun and moon decreases
with the square of the distance. For
that reason the nearer surface of the
earth is attracted with greater force
and the further surface with lesser
force than the center. The resultant
effect is to cause a tendency to recede
from the earth's center in parts Im
mediately under the sun or moon and
also on the side most remote from
them. 1
The waters of the ocean are free to
yield to this tendency and hence they
tend to be heaped up Into four tidal
waves a day two lunar and two solar.
The lunar tides greatly piedomlnate ,
the others being observable chiefly by
their action In reinforcing or diminish
ing them.
As the earth turns on Its axis these
waves cause two principal alternations
of high and low water every twenty-
four hours In every part of the ocean ,
called flood tide and ebb tide.
When the solar and lunar tides are
In conjunction the maximum , or
spring , tide takes place. When they
arc 90 degrees ! apart there occurs tha
minimum tldo.

Opportunity of Suffragist.
Baroness Aletta Korff tolls in one
of the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact la \
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the j
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take tbo
initiative In the world's history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came , but when a
crisis , such as that In 1904. whou the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
In Russia took place at the sarno time ,
occurred , they proved they could
make peace by doing It. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear sonio
great trouble will they glvo them the
right to voto.
Try to Come Back.
Not long ago Lord Klnnalrd , who la
always actively interested in religious
work , paid a surprise visit to a mis
sion school In the east end of London
and told a class of boys the story of
Samson. Introducing his narrative ,
his lordship added :
"Ho was strong , became weak , and
then regained his strength , enabling
him to destroy his enemies , Now ,
boys , If I had an enemy , what would
you advise me to do ? "
A llttlo boy , after meditating on the
secret of that great giant's strength ,
shot up his baud and exclaimed : "Get
a bottle of 'air restorer. "

Just Sensible Food Cured Him.
Sometimes a good , healthy commer
cial traveler suffers from poorly se
lected food and Is lucky if he leariia
that Grape-Nuts food will put him
right.
A Cincinnati traveler says : "About
a year ago my stomach got in a bad
way. I had a headache most of the
tlmo and suffered misery. For several
months I ran down until I lost about
' (0 pounds in weight and finally had to
give up a good position and go homo.
Any food that I might use seemed to
nauseate me.
"My wife , hardly knowing what to
do , one day brought homo a package *
of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed mo to
try It. I told her it was no use but
finally to humor her I tried n llttlo ,
and they just struck my taste. It
was the first food I had eaten In near
ly a year that did not cause any suffer
ing.
"WellJ to make a long story short , I
began to improve and stuck to Grape-
Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds In
December to 194 pounds the following
October.
"My brain Is clear , blood all
right and appetite too much for any
man's pocketbook. In fact , I am thor
oughly made over , and ewe it all to
Grape-Nuts. I talk so much about what
