"I did not need it lill Sunday," con tinued Mrs. Knapp. "1 have been wor ried much at the situation of the boy, but 1 did not dare go near him. Henry and I decided that his hiding place was not safe. We had talked of mov ing him a few days before you came. When 1 found that Henry had disap peared I was anxious to make the cnange, but I could not venture to at tempt it until the others were out of town, for I knew I was watched. Then I was assured from Mother Borton that they did not know where the boy was hrdden, and I let the matter rest. But a few days ago on Saturday she sent me word that she thought they had found the place. Then it cime to me to send you to Livermore with the other boy oh, I hope no harm came to the little fellow," she exclaimed anxiously. "He's safe in my rooms in charge of Wainwright," I said. "He got back en the morning train, and can be had for the asking." "Oh, I'm so glad," said Mrs. Knapp. "I was afraid something would hap pen to him. but I had to take desper ate chances. Well, you see my plan succeeded. They all followed you. But when 1 went to the hiding place the boy was gone. Henry had moved him weeks ago, and had died before he could tell mc. Then I thought you might know more than you had told rae that Henry Wilton might have got you to help him when he made the change, and I wrote to you." "And the key," I said, remembering the expression of the note. "Did you mean this diagram?" "No," said Mrs. Knapp, "I meant the key to our cipher code. I was looking over Henry's letters for some hint of a hiding place and could not find the key to the cipher. I thought you might have been given one. I found mine this afternoon, though, and there was uo need cf it, so it didn't matter after all." ' The pitching and tossing of the aoat had ceased. And, a minute later, with clang of bolls and groanof engine we were at the wharf and were helped ashore. "Tell the cap? in to wait here for us with fires up," said Mrs. Knapp. "The carriage should be somewhere around here," she continued, peering anxious ly about as we reached the foot of the wharf. "This way," said a familiar voice, nd a man stepped from the shadow. "Dicky Nab!!" I exclaimed. "Mr. Wilton!" mimicked Dicky. "But it's just r. well not to speak so oud. Here you are. I put the hack's lights out just to escape unpleasant remark.-' Mrs. Knapp entered the carriage and called to me to follow her. I remembered Mother Borton's warn ings and my doubts of Dicky Nahl. "You're certain you know wh- , you are going?" I asked him in ua. under tone. "No, I'm not." said Dicky franldy. 'Tve found a man v ' i says he knows. We are to meet L . We'll get there between 3 and 4 o'clock. He won't say another word to anybody but her ' ' ' MWWWWWMMMWWMWMV or you. I guess he knows what he Is about" "Well, keep your eyes open. Meek er's gang is ahead of us. Is the driver reliable?" "Right as a judge," said Dicky cheerfully. "Now, if you'll get in with madame we won't be wasting time here." I stepped into the carriage. Dicky Nahl closed the door softly and climbed on the seat by the driver,, and in a mo ment we were rolling up Broadway in the gloomy stillness of the early morn ing hour. CHAPTER XXIX. The Heart of the Mystery. I was in the shadow of the mystery A hundred questions rose to my lips; but behind them all frowned the grim wolf-visage of Doddridge Knapp, and I could not find the courage that could make me speak to them. "Mrs. Knapp," I said, "you have called me by my name. I had almost forgotten that I had ever borne It I have lived more in the last month than in the 25 years that I remember before it, and I have almost come to think that the old name belongs to some one else. May I ask how you got hold of it?" "It was simple enough. Henry had told me about you. I remembered that you were coming from the same town he had come from. I telegraphed to an agent in Boston. He went up to your place, made his inquiries and tel egraphed me. I suppose you will be pleased to know," she continued with JfO-IC4tfCA2QrH&r--fW2?fT a droll affection of malice In her voice, "that he mailed me your full history as gathered from the town pump. It is at the house now." "I tried to get something out of Mother Borton concerning you," con tinued Mrs. Knapp. "I even went so far as to see her once." "I don't think you got any more out of her than she wanted to tell." "Indeed I did not I was afraid Mr. Richmond had not gone about it the right way. You know Mr. Richmond acted as my agent with her?" "No, I didn't know. She was as close-mouthed with me as with you, I think." "Well, I saw her. I wanted to get ; what information she had of you and oi Henry. "She had a good deal of it if she wanted to give it up." "So I suppose. But she was too clever for me. She spoke well of you, but not a word could I get from her about Henrj-. Yet 6he gave me the idea that she knew much." "I should think she might. I had told her the whole story." "She is used to keeping secrets, I suppose," replied Mrs. Knapp. "But I must reward her well for what she has done." "She is beyond fear or reward." "Dead?" cried Mrs. Knapp in a shocked voice. "And how?" "She died, I fear, because she be friended me." And then I told her the story of Mother Borton's end. "Poor creature!" said Mrs. Knapp sadly. "Yet perhaps it Is better so. She has died in doing a good act" The carriage had been rolling along swiftly. Despite the rain the streets were smooth and hard, and we made rapid progress. We had crossed a bridge, and with many trz made a course toward the s;:'.!:ca.s.t. Now the r "zl became softer, and progress .was slow. An interminable array of trees lined the way on both sides, and to my impatient imagination stretched for m'.'.n; befco v. Then the road became better, the 1. rses trotted briskly forward again, their hoofs pat tering dully on the softened ground. "All the better," I 'thought "It's as good as a muffler if any one is listening for us." "Here's the place" came the voice of Dicky, giving direction to the driv er; and the carriage slackened pace and stopped. Looking out I saw that we were at a division of the road where a two-story house faced both of the branching ways. "You'd better come out," said Dicky at the door, addressing his remark to me.- "He was to meet us here." "Be careful," cautjoned Mrs.-Knapp. I kept my hand on the revolver that lay in my overcoat pocket and walked with Dicky on to the porch It was a common roadside saloon, and at this hour it appeared wholly de serted. Even the dog, without which I knew no roadside saloon could ex ist, was as silent as its owners. "Here's a go!" said Dicky. "He was to meet us, sure. What time have you got?" I struck a match in a corner and looked at my watch by its flare. "Five minutes to three." "Whew!" he whispered, "we're reg ularly done. I thought he had a bad eye when I was bargaining with him." I wondered if Dicky had a hand in the trick, if trick it should prove to be. "Well," said Dicky dubiously, "I think I know where the fellow would have taken us. I trailed him this af ternoon, and I'll lay two to one that I can pick out the right road." "Is this the third road from Brook lyn?" I asked, pointing to the track that led to the left "I reckon so," said Dicky. "I haven't kept count, but I recollect only two before it" "All right Up with you then!" Dicky obediently mounted to the seat beside the driver. "I shall ride outside," I said to Mrs. Knapp. "I may be needed' Half a mile farther we passed a house, and within a quarter Zl a mile another. "We are on the right road," was my thought as I compared these in my mind with the crosses on the diagram. About half a mile farther a small cluster of buildings loomed up, dark and obscure, by the roadside. "This is the place," I said confident ly, motioning the driver to pull up. I remembered that Henry Wilton's map to G&Dyiffir." had stopped at the third cross from the parting of the roads. "No, it isn't," said Dicky eagerly. "It's two or three miles farther on. I trailed the fellow myself to the next house, and that's a good two miles at least." I had leaped to the gronnd, and opened the door of the carriage. "We are at the fourth place," I said "And the cockeyed barn?" inquired Mrs. Knapp, peering out. I was struck silent by this, and looked blankly at the dark forbidding structure that fronted on the road. "You're right," said Mrs. Knapp with a laugh. "Can't you make out that funny little window at the end there?" I looked more closely at the build ing. In the dim light of the stars the coat of whitewash that covered it made it possible to trace the outlines of a window in the gable that fronted the road. Some freak of the builder had turned it a quarter of the way Ice Had Preserved Mammoth. Remarkable Discovery Wade in Frozen Siberian Borj. Sixty-one years ago a young Russian engineer, Benkendorf, saw the River Lena in Siberia release a dead mam moth frozen ages ago in the bog. There had been exceptionally warm weather in the north of Siboria. and the river, swollen by melting snow ' and ice and torrential warm rains. swept out of its old channel and carv ed a new one, carrying to the sea vast quantities of its former banki and fur rowing up the thawing bcs over which it raced. As he made l:fs way in a steam cutter against the current Benkendorf saw the head cf a mam moth appear above the flocd. Rush upon rush of water more and more around, giving it a comical suggestion of a man with a droop to bis eye.k "And the Iron cow?" I asked, "Stupid! a pump, of course," re plied Mrs. Knapp. with another laugh. "Now see If there is a lane here by the barn." A narrow roadway just wide enougb for a single wagon joined the main road at the corner of the building. "Then drive up it qnietly," was Mrs, Knapp's direction. Just beyond the barn I made out the figure of the pump in a conspicuous place by the roadside and felt-more confident that we were on the right road. The driver swore in an undertone as the hack lurched and groaned in a boggy series of ruts, and a branch whipped him in the face. I was forced to give a grunt myself, as another slapped my sore arm and sent a sharp twinge of pain shooting from the wound till it tingled In my toes. Dicky, protected between us, chuckled soft ly. I reflected savagely that nothing spoils a man for company like a mis taken sense of humor. Suddenly the horses stopped so short that we were almost pitched out. Mrs. Knapp rapped on the carriage door and I opened it. "Have you come to the bars? she asked presently. "I guess so. We've come against something like a fence." "Well, then, " she replied, "when we get through, take the road to the left That will bring us to the house." "You are certain?" "That is what Henry wrote in the cipher beneath the map. The house must be only a few hundred yards away." The bars were there, and I lifted the wet and soggy boards with an anxious heart Were we, after all, so near the hiding- place? And what were we to flud? On a sudden turn the house loomed up before us and a wild clamor of dogs broke the stillness of the night. "I hope they are tied," I said, with a poor attempt to conceal my misgiv ings. "We'll have a lively time in a quar ter of a minute if they aren't," laughed Dicky, as he followed me. But the baying and barking came no rearer, and I helped Mrs. Knapp out of the carriage. She looked at the house closely. "This is the place," she said, In an unmistakable tone of decision. "We must be quick. I wish something would quiet those dogs; they will bring the whole country out." It seemed an hour before we could raise any one, but It may not have been three minutes before a voice came from behind the door. "Who's there?" "It is L. M. K.," said Mrs. Knapp; then she added three words of gibber ish that I took to be the passwords used to identify the friends of the boy. At the words there was the sound of bolts shooting back and the heavy door opened enough to admit us. As we passed in, it was closed once more and the bolts shot home. Before us stood a short, heavy-set man, holding a candle. His face, which was stamped with much of the bull dog look in it, was smooth shaven ex cept for a bristling brown mustache. He looked inquiringly at us. "Is he here the boy?" cried Mrs. Knapp, her voice choked with anx iety." "Yes," said the man. "Do we move again?" "At once," said Mrs. Knapp, in her tone of decision. "It will take ten minutes to get ready," said the man. "Come this way." I was left standing alone by the door in the darkness, with a burden lifted from my mind. We had come in time. The single slip of paper left by Henry Wilton had been the means, through a strange combination of events, to point the way to the unknown hiding place of the boy. In a few minutes the wavering light of the candle reappeared. Mrs. Knapp was carrying a bundle that I took to be the boy, and the man brought a valise and a blanket. "It's all right," said Mrs. Kanpp "No I can carry him I want to carry him." The man opened the door, then closed and locked it as I helped Mrs. Knapp into the carriage. "Have you got him safe?" asked Dicky incredulously. "Well, I'll have to say that you know more than I thought you did." And the relief and satisfaction in his tone were so evi dent that I gladly repented of my sus picions of the light-hearted Dicky. "Have you heard anything?" I asked him anxiously. "I thought I heard a yell over here through the woods. We had better get out of here." "Don't wait a second," said the man. "The south road comes over this other way. If you've heard anybody there, they will be here in five minutes. I'll follow you on a horse." With an injunction to haste, 1 stepped after Mrs. Knapp into the car riage, the door was shut, Dicky mounted the seat, and we rolled down the road on the return journey. (TO BE CONTINUED.) released the body. Its hind legs were still imbedded when he saw it, but 24 hours liberated these. The mam moth had sunk, feet first, into a bog. The ooze had frozen over It; succes sive tides had heaped soil and vege tation upon it Bone and flesh and hair were perfect They secured it; they cut off its tusks; they dissected it and found in its stomach the last meal it had eaten, young shoots of the fir and pine and masticated fir cones. They were still at work when the river, spreading farther, engulfed them. The men escaped, but the waters surged over the mammoth and carried it for carrion to the sea. Salt Water Used at Key West.

Mark Twain and a party of friends recently went to visit the studio of a young sculptor who is coming rapidly Into public notice. One of the pieces which was admired greatly by the ma jority of the party was the figure of a young woman colling up her hair. Mark listened to the encomiums in silence, and when urged for an ex pression of opinion said slowly: "It is beautiful, but it is" not true to nature." All expressed their surprise at this unexpected verdict and demanded his reasons. "She ought to have her mouth full of hairpins," replied Tom Sawyer's father.
