to join his friend and distant relative
Henry AVilton, whom lie was to assist
in an important and mysterious task, and
who accompanied Dudley on the
ferry boat trip into the city. The re
markable resemblance of the two men
is noted and commented on by passen
gers on the ferry. They see a man with
nnake eyes, which sends a thrill through
Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation
of the strange errand Dudley is to per
form, but occurrences cause him to
know it is one of no ordinary meaning.

CHAPTER XXVII. Continued.
In the matter of description the
enemy had the advantage, slight as it
was.
"Third road cockeyed barn iron
cow," and the confused jumble of
drunken letters and figures that Hen
ry had written I could make nothing
of these. "From B follow 1 m.
Take third road 3 or 5" this was at
least half-intelligible.
Then it came to me like a blow
was this the mysterious "key" that the
Unknown had demanded of me in her
letter of this morning? I was roused
from my reverie of fears by confused
shouts from down the hall, and sprang
hastily to the door, with the thought
that the forces of the enemy were
upon us.
"Here he Is! they've found him,"
cried an excited voice.
"Yes, sir! here he comes!"
It was truly the stalwart guard; but
two days had made a sad change in
him. With head bound in a bloody
rag. and face of a waxy yellow hue, he
staggered limply out of one of the rear
rooms between Corson and Owens.
Barkhouse was soon propped up on
the lounge in the guardroom, and with
a few sips of whisky and a fresh band
age began to look like a more hopeful
case.
"Now, we must get out of here," I
said. "Take turns by twos in helping
Barkhouse. We had better not risk
staying here."
"Right," said Corson; "and now
we'll just take these three beauties
along to the station."
The men swore at this, but as their
hands were bound behind them, and
Corson walked with his club in one
hand and his pistol in the other, they
took up the march at command and
the rest of us slowly followed.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
The Chase in the Storm.
When we reached the entrance to
our quarters on Montgomery street
the rain had once more begun to fall,
gently now, but the gusts of damp
wind from the south promised more
and worse to follow.
"A message for you. Mr. Wilton,"
said a voice suddenly from the recess
of the doorway.
"Give it to me," I said.
A slip of paper was thrust into my
hand, and I passed up the stairs.
"I'll wait for you," said the mes
senger, and at the first gas jet that
burned at the head of the stairs I
stopped to read the address.
It was in the hand of the Unknown,
and my fatigue and indifference were
gone in a moment. 1 trembled as I
tore open the envelope and read:
"Follow the bearer of this note at
12:30. Come alone and armed. It is
important."
There was no signature.
If it meant anything it meant that
T was to meet the Unknown, and per
haps to search the heart of the mys
tery. I had been heavy with fatigue
and drowsy with want of sleep, but at
this thought the energies of life were
once more fresh within me.
The men had waited a minute for
me as I read the note.
"Go to your rooms and get" some
'est, "I said. "I am called away. Treat
will be in charge, and I will send word
to him if I need-any of you."
Tbev locked at me in blank protesL
"You're not going alone, sir?" cried
Owens in a tone of alarm.
"Oh, no. But I shall not need a
guard." I hoped heartily that I did
not.
The men shook their heads doubt
full', and I continued:
"Corson will be down from the Cen
tral station in 15 or 20 minutes. Just
tell him I've been sent for and to
come to-morrow if he can make it in
his way."
And bidding them good night I ran
hastily down the stairs before any
of the men could frame his protest
into words.
"Are you ready, sir?" asked the mes
senger. "It is close on half-past twelve," I
answered. "Where .is she?"
"It's not far away," said my guide
evasively.
I understood the danger of speech
and did not press for an answer.
We plunge! down Montgomery
street in the teeth of the wind that
dashed the spray in our faces at one
moment, lulled an instant the better to
deceive the unwary and then leaped at
us from behind corners with the im
petuous rush of some great animal
that turned to vapor as it reached us.
The street was dark except for the
newspaper offices, which glowed
bright with lights on both sides of the

way, busj- with the only signs of life
that the storm and the midnight hour
had left.
With the lighted buildings .behind
us we turned down California street
Half-way down the block, in front of
the Merchants' Exchange, stood a
hack. At the sight my heart beat fast
and my breath came quick.
As we neared the hack my guide
gave a short suppressed whistle, and
passing before me, flung open the
door to the vehicle and motioned me
to enter. I had gone too far to re
treat and stepped into the hack. In
stead of following, the guide closed the
door gently; I heard him mount the
scat with the driver, and in a mo
ment we were in motion.
Was I alone? I had expected to find
the Unknown, but the dark interior
gave no sign of a companion. A slight
movement made me certain that some
one sat in the father corner of the
carriage. The situation became a lit
tle embarrassing. Was it my place to
speak first? I wondered. At last I
could endure the silence no longer.
"Quite an unpleasant evening," I re
marked politely.
There was a rustle of movement,
the sound of a short gasp, and a soft,
mournful voice broke on my ear.
"Mr. Dudley can you forgive me?"
The astonishment I felt to hear my
own name once more the name that
seemed now to belong to a former
state of existence was swallowed up
as the magnetic tones carried their
revelation to my mind. I was stricken
dumb for a moment at the discovery
they had brought Then I gasped:
"Mrs. Knapp!"
"Yes, Mrs. Knapp," she said with a
mournful laugh. "Did you never sus
pect?" I was ldst in wonder and confusion,
and even yet could not understand.
"What brings you out in this
storm?" I asked, completely mystified:
"I thought I waj to meet another per
son." "Indeed?" said Mrs. Knapp, with a
spark of animation. "Well,. I am the
other person."
"You!" I exclaimed at last "Are
you the protector of the boy? The
employer " Then I .stopped, the tr.i
gle in mind beginning to str;.en
out.
"I am she," rI Mrs. K-iapp gently.
"Then," I cr.ca.
"who is he? what I
is he? what is the whole dreadful affair
about? and what "
Mrs. Knapp interrupted me:
"First tell me what has become
of Henry Wiltln?" she said with sor
row in her voice.
The dreadful scene in the alley
flashed before my mind.
"He is dead."
"Dead! And how?"
"Murdered."
"I feared so I was certain, or he
would have let me know. You have
much to tell me. But first, did he
leave no papers in your -hands?"
I brought out the slip that bore the
blind diagram and the blinder de
scription that accompanied it Noth
ing could be made of it in the dark
ness, so I described it as well as I
could.
"We are on the right track," said
Mrs. Knapp. "Oh, why didn't I have
that yesterday? But here we are at
the wharf."
Mv cuide was before us. and we
followed him down the pier, struggling
against the gusts.
"Do we cross the bay?" I asked, as
Mrs. Knapp clung to my arm. "It's
not safe for you in a small boat."
"There's a tug waiting for us," Mrs.
Knapp explained.
A moment later we saw its lights,
and the fire of its engine room shot
a cheerful glow into the storm. The
little vessel swung uneasily" at its
berth as we made our way aboard,
and with shouts of men and clang of
bells it was soon tossing on the dark
waters of the bay.
The cabin of the tug was fitted with
a shelf-table, and over it "swung a
lamp of brass that gave a dim light
to the little room. Mrs. Knapp seated
herself here, spread out the paper I
had given her and studied the diagram
and the jumble of letters with anxious
attention.
"It is the same," she said at last;
"in part, at least."
"The same as what?" I asked.
"As the one I got word of to-night,
you know," she replied.
"But," she continued, "this gives a
different place. I was to go to the
cross-road here" indicating the mark
at the last, branch.
"I'm glad to hear that" said I, tak
ing out the diagram I had found in
the citadel of the enemy. "This seems
to point to a different place, too, and
I really hope that the gentleman who
drew this map is a good way off from
the truth."
"Where did you get this?" ex
claimed Mrs. Knapp.
I described the circumstances in as
few words as I could command.

Fine Specimens of Sarcophagi Were
Found by Rev. P. Dellattre.
Among the most recent finds which
have been made at Carthage by' the
Rev. P. Delattre are a number of
sarcophagi which present a great in
terest In many of these, says the
Scientific American, the top cover is
sculptured in relief with a figure of
life size, carved out of marble and
painted in many colors. One very fine
specimen was found in the necropolis
at a depth of 25 feet. On the cover
is a figure of a woman executed in the
Greek style, with a long garment
reaching the ankles and a veil cover
ing the head. Great technical skill
is shown in treating the different tis
sues. The flesh parts are well pol
ished, and the eyes are painted, giv
ing a lifelike aspect The hair is
gilded. Inside the sarcophagus were
found the remains of the person, with
some bronze objects. A second sar
cophagus was that of a rson sup

the above, also three other gold rings.

"They are ahead of us." she said
In alarm'.
"They have started first, I suppose,"
was my suggestion.
And they have the right road."
"Then our only hope is that they
may not know the right place."
"God grant it" said Mrs. Knapp.
v She was silent for a few minutes,
and I saw that her eyes were filled
with tears.
Then she said, "Now tell me about
Henry Wilton how he died and
when."
I told the tale as it had happened,
and as I told it I read la the face be
fore me the varying emotions of alarm,
horror and grief that were stirred by
its incidents. But one thing I could
not tell her. The wolf-face I had seen
in the lantern flash in the alley I
could not name nor describe to the
wife of Doddridge Knapp.
Mrs. Knapp bowed her head in deep,
gloomy thought.
"I feared it, yet he would not listen
to my warnings," she murmured. "He
would work his own way." Then she
looked me suddenly straight in the
face.
"And why did you take his place,
his name? Why did you try to do his
work when you had seen the dreadful
end to which it had brought him?"
I confessed that it was half through
the insistence of Detective Coogan
that I was Henry Wilton, half through
the course of events that seemed to
jnake it the easiest road to reach the
vengeance that I had vowed to bring
the murderer of my friend.
"You are bent on avenging him?"
asked Mrs. Knapp thoughtfully.
"I have promised it"
"I have marveled at you," said Mrs.
Knapp "after a pause. "1 marvel at
you yet. You have carried off your
part well."
"Not well enough, it seems, to de
ceive you," I said, a little bitterly.
"You should not have expected to
deceive me," said Mrs. Knapp. "But
you can imagine the shock I had when
I saw that it was not Henry Wilton
who had come among us that first
night when I called you from Mr.
Knapp's room."
"You certainly succeeded in con
cealing any surprise you may have
felt," I said. "You are a better actor
than I."
Mrs. Knapp smiled.
"It was more than surprise it was
consternation," she said. "I had been
anxious at receiving no word from
Henry. I suppose you got my notes.
And when I saw you I was torn with
doubts, wondering whether anything
had happened to Henry."
"I didn't suppose I was quite so poor
an imposter," I said apologetically,
with a qualm at the word. "Though 1
did get some hint of it," I added, with
a painful recollection of the candid
statement of opinion I had received
from the daughter of the house.
"Oh, you did very well," said Mrs.
Knapp kindly, "but no one could have
been successful in that house. Luella
was quite outraged over it, but I
managed to quiet her."
"I hope Miss Knepp has not re
tained the unfavorable impressions of
er " I stammered in much, confus
ion. Mrs. Knapp gave me a keen glance.
"You know she has not," she said.
"Well." continued Mm- Knapp,
"when I saw you and guessed that
something had happened to Henry
Wilton, and found that you knew little
of what was going on, I changed the
plan of campaign. I did not know that
you were one to be trusted, but I saw
that you could be used to keep the
others on a false scent, for you de
ceived everybody but us."
"I would have spoken when I found
you for what you are," said Mrs.
Knapp, "but I thought until the Liver
more trip that you could serve me best
as you were doing."
"It was blind work," I said.
"It was blind enough for you, not
for me. I was deceived in one thing,
however; I thought that you had no
papers nothing from Henry that
could help or hurt The first night
ou came to us I had Henry's room
thoroughly searched."
"Oh, I was indebted to you for that
attention," I exclaimed. "I gave our
friends of the other house the credit"
Mrs. Knapp smiled again.
"I thought it necessary. It was the
chance that you did not sleet) there
that night that kept this paper out of
my hands weeks ago."
"I have always kept it with me," I
said.

specimens carefully to observe the
painting before they came up to day

figures and on the moldings of the
sarcophagi. These specimens form an
important addition to the Carthage

REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.
q s
A correspondent writes the Winni
peg (Man.) Free Press: "The Pinch
er Creek district (Southern Al
berta), the original home of fall
wheat where it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet for
about 25 years, is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to 50, 60 and over, and most of it No.
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. It
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Man's River to
the boundary will be 47 or 48 bushels
per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than tho selling price of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
it, and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there Is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and In British Co
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow."
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
it about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 160
acres in addition to his 160 home
stead acres, at $3.00 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. It might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger,
who made a trip through portions of it
in July, 1908. "Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu
merous drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul
tivation, but there is room for mil
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of the
country."
