CHAPTER XIV.
The Trap Door.
Snndav evening, a week after
tin wicck. my forced inaction had
goaded me to frenzy. 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

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

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

"Sometime when you are in an open

back with a Smith and Wesson. "I'm
not much use." I explained, "with this

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

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.

Got Two Votes and Declines.
TV. H. 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. Mr.
Sayer was already the democratic
nominee in the same district.

Ther- was nothing out of th or

Mrs. Klopton. Needless to say. I did
not toll her that I had left the trap

there was nothing else to do. I turned
on the night lamp at the head of my

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? Wasn't it moving slowly as I
looked? Xo. I am not a hero; I was
