The very sight of Johnson across the street or lurk ing always vithin Fight of the hinise. kept mo constantly eusperated. It was on that day that tilings began to uo me to a focus, a buniing-gla.ss of events that seemed to center on me. 1 dined alone that evening in no es-eerful frame or mind. Then had been a polo game the day before and 1 had lent a iouy. which is always a bad thing to do. And she had wrench ed her shoulder, besides helping to !oe the came. There was no one in town: l'ie temperature was '.Hi and climbing, and my leK band pcisistent Sv cramped under its. bandage. Mis. Klopton herself saw me served. rny bread buttered and cut in tidbits, my meat teady for my Tori;. She he r"i around me maternally, obviously trving to cheer me. "The paper says still wannei." she ventured. "The thermometer is U2 now." "And this coffee is I'.'O." 1 s.:td. put ting down my cup. "Where is l-:-pbeiinu? I haven't seen her around, or heard a dish smash all day." "ICupbemia is in bed." Mrs. Klopton .-.aid gravely. "Is your meat cut small onough. Mr Lawrence?" Mr.-,. Klop ton can throw more mysterv into an ordinary sentence than any one I know. She car. sa. "Are your sheets damp. t;ir?" And I can tell lrom her ,otie that the nouse ncios-. me. miwi has be :i robbed, or that my left hand neighbor has appendicitLs. So now I lookec'. up and asked the question she was vailing for. "What's the matter with Kuphe ni'.a?" I inquired idly. "Frightened into her bed." Mrs. Klopton said in a stage whisper. "Shes had three hot water bottles :nd she hasn't done a thing all day ln moan." "She oughtn't to take hot water bottles," I said in my severest tone. "Due would make me moan. You need not wait, I'll ring if I need anything." .Mrs Klopton sailed to the door, where she stopped and wheeled indig nantly. "I only hope you won't laugh m tin' wrong side of your face some morning. Mr. Lawrence," she declared, with Christian fortitude. "Hut I warn eu. I am going to have the police watch that house next door." 1 was half inclined to tell her that both it and we were under police sur veillance at that moment Hut 1 like Mrs. Klopton. in spite of the tact that 1 make her life a torment for her. so I refrained. !a-t night, when the paper said it war. going to storm. I sent Kuphemia to the roof to bring the rug- in. KHza hud slipped out. although it was her evening in even an explanation that I am sure of. I did a foolish thing under impulse, and I have not been sorry. It was something after two when the door-bell rang. It rang quickly, twice. I cot tin drowsily, for the maids and Mrs. Klopton always lock themselves beyond reach of the bell at night, and put on a dressing gown. The bell rang again on my way down stairs I lit the hall light and opened the door. I was wide awake now, and I saw that it was Johnson. His bald head shone in the light his crooked mouth was twisted in a smile. "Good heavens, man." 1 said ir ritably. "Don't you ever go home and go to bed?" lie closed the vestibule door behind him and cavalierly turned out the light. Our dialogue was sharp, stacca to "Have you a key to the empty house next door?" he demanded. "Some body's in there, and the latch is caught." "The house are alike. The key to! this door may fit. Did you see them go in?" "Xc. There's a light movii.g up from room to room. 1 saw something like it last night, and I have ueen watching. The patrolman reported queer doings there a week or so ago." "A light!" I exclaimed. "Do you ni'-an that you " gasping respirations; t am not sure they were not my own. I wanted des perately to stand on one leg at a time and hold the other up out of focus of .i possible revolver. I did not see the hand appear. There was nothing there, and thin it was there, clutching the frame tf thej trap. I did the only thing I ould think of; I put my foot on it! There was not a sound from be neath The next moment I was kneel ing and had clutched the wrist just above the hand. After a second's struggle, the arm was still. With something, real to face, I was myself again. "Don't move, or I'll stand on the trap and break your arm," I panted. What else could I threaten? I couldn't shoot, I couldn't even fight. "John son!" I called. And then I realized the thing that stxyea with me for a month, the thing I cannot think of even now without a shudder. The hand lay ice cold, strangely quiescent. Under my fin gers, an artery was beating feebly. The wrist was as slender as I held the hand to the light. Then I let it drop. "Good Lord," I muttered, and re mained on my knees, staring at the spot where the hand had been. It was gone now; there was a faint rus tle in the darkness below, and then silence. I held up my own hand in the star light and stared at a long scratch in the palm. "A woman!" I said to my self stupidly. "Hy all that's ridicu lous, a woman!" Johnson was striking matches be low and swearing softly to himself. "How the devil do you get to the roof?" lie called. "I think I've broken my nose!" He found the ladder after a short search and stood at the bottom, look ing up at me. "Well, I suppose yon haven't seen him?" he inquired. "There are enough darned cubbyholes in this house to hide a patrol wagon Mr. Blafceley. Much obliged." At the door he hesitated and coughed. "I suppose you understand. Mr. Blakcley." he said awkwardly, "that this er surveillance is all in the day's work. I don't like it, but Itt duty. Every man to his duty, sir." "Sometime when you are in an open mood, Johnson," I returned, "you can explain why I am being watched at aU.- f I czjoi. KioSSm I it 3ilP5: I The Wrist Was Slender. "Very likely." he said grimly. "Havel load oi thieve.' you a revolver?" "AH kinds in the gun rack." I re plied, and going into the den. I came back with a Smith and Wesson. "I'm not much use." I explained, "with this arm. but I'll do what I can. There may be somebody there. The serv ants here have been uneasy." Johnson planned the campaign. He suggested on account of my familiari ty with the roof, that I go there and cut off escape in that direction. "I have Itobison out there now tin patrolman on the beat." he s,aid. "He'll watch below and you above, whiie I search the bous-'c. Re as itil"t as possible." I was rather amused. 1 put on some Kuphemia went up to the clothes and felt my way carefully up roof it was 11 o'clock and soon 1 the stairs, the reolver swinging free heard her running downstairs crying.

By the sound of his diminishing footsteps I supposed it was a rear s.aireasc. He came up again in ten minutes or so, this time with the po liceman. "He's gone, all right," he said rue fully. "If you'd been attending to your business. Bobison. you'd have watched the back door." "I'm not twins" Bobison was surly. "Well." I broke in. as cheerfully as 1 could, "if you are through with this joUy little affair, and can get down my ladd-r without having my house keeper ring the burglar alarm. I have some good Monongahela whisky eh?" They came without a second invita tion across the roof, and with them safely away from the house I breath ed more freely. Down in the den I fulfilled my promise, which Johnson drank to the toast, "Coming through the rye." He examined my gun rack with the eye of a connoisseur, and even when he was about to go he cast a loving eye back at the weapons. "Kver been in the army?" he in quired. "No." I said with a bitterness that ho noticed but failed to comprehend. "I'm a chocolate cream s-oldier you don't read Shaw. I suppose, Johnson?"

CHAPTER XV. The Cinematograph. On Monday I went out for the first time. I did not go to the office. I wanted to walk. I thought fresh air and exercise would drive away the blue devils that bad me by the throat McKnight Insisted on a long day in his car, but I refused. "I don't know why not," he said sulkily. "I can't walk. I havon't walked two consecutive blocks In three years. Automobiles have made legs mere ornaments and some not even that We could have Johnson out there chasing us over the country at $5 an hour!" "He can chase us just as well at five miles an hour." I 6aid. "But what gets me. McKnight, is why I cm un der surveillance at all. How do the police know 1 was accused of that thing?" "The young lady who sent the flow ersshe isn't likely to talk, is she?" "No. That is, I didn't say it was a lady." I groaned as I tried to get my splintered arm Into a coat. "Anyhow, she didn't tell," I finished with con viction, and McKnight laughed. It had rained in the early morning. and Mrs. Klopton predicted more showers. In fact, so firm was her be lief and so determined her eye that I took the umbrella she proffered me. "Never mind," 1 said. "We can leave it next door! I have a story to tell you. Richey, and it requires proper setting." McKnight was puzzled, but he fol lowed me obediently around to the kitchen entrance or the empty house. It was unlocked, as I had expected. While we climbed to the upper floor I retailed the events of the previous night. "It's the finest thing 1 ever heard of." McKnight said, staring up at the ladder and the trap. "What a vaude ville skit it would make! Only you ought not to have put your foot on her hand. They don't do it in the best cireles." I wheeled on htm impatiently. "You don't understand the situation jt all. Richey!" I exclaimed. "What would you say If I tell you it was the hand or a lady? It was covered with rings." "A lady!" he repeated. "Why, I'd say it was a darned compromising sit utation. and that the less you say of it the better. Look here. Lawrence, I think you dreamed it. You've been in the house too much. I take it all back; you do need exercise," "She escaped through this door, I suppose." I said as patiently as I could. "Evidently down the back stair case. We might as well go down that way." "According to the best precedents In these affairs, we should find a glove about here," he said as we started down. But he was more impressed than he cared to own. He examined the dusty steps carefully, and once, when a bit of loose plaster fell just behind him. he started like a nervous woman. "What I don't understand Is why you let her go, he said, stopping once, puzzled. "You're not usually quixotic." "When we g-t out into the country, Richey," I replied gravely, "I am go ing to tell you another' story, and if you don't tell me I'm a fool and a craven, on the strength of it, you are no friend of mine." We stumbled through the twilight of staircase Into the blackness of the shuttered kitchen. The house had the moldy smell of closed buildings; even on that warm September morn ing it was damp and chilly. As we stepped into the sunshiif McKnight gave a shiver. "Now that we are out." he said. "1 don't mind telling you that 1 have been there before. Do yon remember the night you left, and th- face at the window?" "When you speak of it y- "Well, I was curious abi.ut that thing." he went-on, as we started up the street, "and I went back. The street door was unlocked, and I ex amined every room I was Mrs. KIop ton's ghost that carried a light, and cluiub." "Did you find anything?" "Only a clean place rubbed on the window opposite your dressing room. Splendid view of an untidy interior. If that house Is ever occupied, you'd better put stained glass in that win dow of yours.

McCowen of Curtis, whose name was written on the populist bal lot, found himself at the close of the primaries the populist nominee for state senator in the Twenty-ninth senatorial district. -Mr. McCowen had received two votes, according to the tabulation In the office of the secre tary of state. These two votes made him the populist nominee under the law. Not caring to accept the nomi nation, Mr. McCowen fi!ed a declina tion with the secretary of state. This caused the populist senatorial com mittee to go to the trouble of holding a meeting and formally nominating George Sayer of Cambridge to fill the vacancy caused -by the declination of the man who got two votes on the populist ticket. A full history of the transaction, together with full pro ceedings of the populist committee when it filled the vacancy, has been filed with the secretary of state.

I did not toll her that I had left the trap door open to see if it would improve the temperature of the house. 1 went to bed at midnight, merely because there was nothing else to do.

With the discovery of my empty gun, I felt like a man on the top of a volcano in lively eruption. Suddenly I found myself staring in credutoi'sly at the trap-door at my feet. 1 had examined it early in the evening and found it bolted. Did I imagine it. or had it raised about an inch?
