CHAPTER II.—(Cont'd.)
He shuddered at the calm horror of
the room, The ticking of the Block
seemed to him so loud that he felt It
would be heard by people outside, Th
sounds seemed to call out mur—der—
tick—tack—mur--der—tick— He
crossed the room hurriedly and blew
out the flame of the candle, and stood
there in the gray light, trembling
pitifully. He heard the tread of a
policeman on his beat, and for one
tense moment the light from a lan-
tern flashed on the windows and
across the ce-ling.
There would be workmen about and
milkmen on their early rounds. They
would take notice of a figure in even-
ing dress which was seen leaving a
house at that hour, and would remem
ber it afterward to his undoing. He
called to mind cases in which such
evidence had placed the rope roue
men's necks.
Besides there was the body—he
could not leave it there staring up
at him. He could just make out the
shapeless figure on the white square
of the rug. He }mew that Baxenter
had intended leaving for Paris in the
morning, and that be had already sent
his servants away—the cook to her
home, and his man to execute a com-
mission for him in the country. After
all, perhaps the body would be as
safe where it was as anywhere.
But some force was working within
him, telling him to hide from the coin-
ing day his ghastly handiwork. Vivian
told himself that he had not meant
this—it was not the first time he
had used the chloroform -pad which he
carried always in its little case in his
breast pocket. It had been his inten-
tion only to drug the solicitor, and
he felt. a seething resentment against
the fate which had made him a mur-
derer in spite of himself,
With noiseless steps he crossed the
room and opened the door, looking out
fearsomely into the dim and lofty
hall. The staircase, wide and carpet-
ed, led away up into the gloom, end,
taking his courage in his hands, Vi-
vian ascended. The stairs creaked
and cracked like pistol shots through
the silence.
He passed from ghostly room to
ghostly room, the gray dawn giving
to the shrouded furniture and chande-
liers strange and •unwonted shapes
and gleaming weirdly. in the'looking-
glasses.. Ascending further, he found
attics crowded with lumber. A win-
dow grimy with dirt led out oh to the
roof, and Vivian saw that here ,was
the hiding place he had been seeking.
Among the chimney stacks and hid-
den by the gables, a body ,might lie
forever undiscovered.
He performed the task vaguely and
es though in a,slream. The burden
was not n heavy one, but it seemed
en eternity of unveil' life before Vi-
vian leapt back against- a chimney
stack. and said that hie labor was
At the sante time, he told himself
that he was perfectly safe where he
was. Hubert Baxenter was supposed
to have left, and none could suspect
the tragedy which had taken, place in
the night, •
But he const be silent, and the
blinds must be left down, and he
must allow himself neither fire nor
light. After nightfall the road would
be clear, and in the darknees he could
leave unperceived. He was glad that
he had removed the thing from the
rug; the long white fur was flattened
down at. places and he ruffled these
with his foot.
For sometime the man sat motion-
less in the silence of the darkened
room. The hours passed slowly and
be must have fallen asleep, for be
awoke to find himself on the Chester-
field with the afternoon sun cutting
bright patterns on the carpet. The
clock pointed to a quarter to two. He
counted on his fingers that there were
five more'hours at the least.
Vivian was feeling hungry,.and,.
making his way down to the kitchen,
he' found a few biscuits and refresh-
ed himself with these and a glass of
water taken from the tap. As he
dranit, a sradow fell across the win-
dow and the tumbler all but dropped
from his nerveless fingers. He step;
ped back carefully to the door, and,
ascending to the bedroom window,
peered cautiously over the blind,
Two nlen were at work in the gar-
den, and Vivian watched them with a
cold clutch at his heart. Suppose they
had a key to the house and were to
come in! But saner judgment told
cl hint that it was hardly likely, and
that they were gardeners and world
use the side door. Nevertheless, their
presence was an added terror to the
inprisoned man. The tick -tack of the
clock came through the folding doors,
It still spelled out mur-der, but not
loudly—only very slowly, lice a long
drawn out whisper,
over.
Vivian crawled with a shudder
back through the window and so down
to the card -room. The air here was
chill end the fire was long dead ashes.
The man seemed' to 'miss the figure
that had been on the rug. He shivered
e.ncl had recourse to the whiskey bot-
tle again and again.
The thought that wa snow upper-
most in Inc mind was that he must
-pend the whole clay in this house of
death, It was now close upon eight
o'clock, and, peeping between the
bllnds, Vivian saw that the life of the
terrace had begun in earnest, Clerks
were hurrying. east 011 their way to
the tube station; and tae postman was
at the house apposite talking through
the area railings• with a pretty scr-
va1t•onaid. I3e noticed ail these
things with 11 curious detachment.
The clerks, hurrying to their work,
would be passing up till ten o'clock,
and atter them would conte the nurse.-

He went back to the room facing
the road, and, crossing to the bureau,
casually picked up the envelope ad-
dressed to the hospital. The peculiar
cracklin/ noise given out by its con-
tents awakened his curiosity and
caused hint to open it. He gave a
little gasp of pleasure as he thought
how useful this windfall would be in
assisting hint to leave the country,
and, again, more to pass the time
than anything else, fell to examining
the drawers of the desk and bureau.
There were ninny papers, legal and
private, and a few jewels—these lat-
ter of no great value and barely
worth the taking; Vivian decided to
;leave these as being articles easy of
identification. A glance at the Lum-
bers of the bank notes told him that
they had mostly been won from Ed-
die and himself, and no one would
ever know they had left the posses-
sion of their original owners.
It was about four o'clock when he
made his great discovery.
-• He was putting back into its place a
little drawer to the right of the
pigeon -holes in the bureau, when, un-
knowingly, he must have released
some hidden spring, for another
drawer, cunningly concealed in the
panelling at the back, sprang out.
Vivian's nervous system was already
shattered by the work of the night
and he fell back, his heart beating
strangely, and it was so111e moments
before he could bring himself to touch
the papers which he saw exposed..
Thee were bu two. One 'was evi-
dently the last will and =testament of
the man who now lay dead on the
roof, the other—a parchment yellow
with age and creased with much
usage. It was folded lengthwise and
was endorsed in an ;angular hand-
writing. Vivian Renton took this
over to the light which came thinly
through the blinds,
At first, as he read, he showed no
partcular interest in the matter set
forth in the cramped, faded ealigraphy
on the parchment. I1 was when he
had reached the second folio of the
document that a look of interest came
into the keen eyes. After that he
read to the end without raising t11em,
And, when he had finished, he
dropped down in the easy chair and
sat, the parchment sheets hanging'
i down in leis listless hands, bis eyes
fixed, unseeing, on space. Prom the
street outside came the movement of
the life of the afternoon, the rmtible
cf vehicles, the shrill laughtr of chil-
dren. The only sound within the room
was the eternal ticking of the clock.
"11'I only clared—"
The man in the chair breathed the
words.
"—A fortune in it, perhaps—Inti
a lost identity—at one stroke! If I
only dared!"
He rose to his feet and tools a b1ot-
ting -pad from its place on the desk,
and, .choosing the spot where the wan-
ing light was strongest, placed it on
his knee and commenced to write.
Word for word he made a copy+ of
what he had been reading—a very
rough copy—partly in a shorthand of
his own, for the light would not last'
long now and he dared not risk a
dandle.
The scheme, if what was nebulous-
1y forming in his brain could be called
that, necessitated, above a11, that the
original document should be ,'eturnetl
with the will to the secret drawer in
the but'enu, Tt -was necessary that,

himself that all was as he had found
it and that No, 9 Mortiiner Terrace
showed no signs of his stay. The bank
notes were safely in his possession,
and nothing remained for him but to
take the first opportunity of leaving
the house. •
He noticed with a keen satisfaction
that with the coining of night the fog
had again settled down over the dis-
trict, and although not so dense as
before, still would serve as a curtain
to cloak his departure. He buttoned
his coat closely .round his throat"and
felt his -way out into the hall. He
had his hand on the latch, when he
started back and stood motionless
with fear.
There came the creak of the gate
and then footsteps on the gravel path.
Vivian had, for the moment, lost all
power of movement. Had the person
coming up the path possessed a key,
the game that Vivian was planning
would have had but a short life. The
steps came to a stand on the top of
the flight of stone stairs that led from
the door to the garden. To the man
on the mat the time scented an etern-
ity; his nerves were in no fit condi-
tion for this.
There was a rattle at• the door and
with a wave of relief flooding over
him, Vivian could just discern a white
envelope—a circular -being pushed
through the letterbox. He nearly
shouted with laughter as he heard the
postman's steps die away dawn the
path.
It was a small matter in itself, but

tier of the whiskey.. He told himself
that he must pull himself together;

fore.

Standing On His Dignity.
While he was sailing down the
Clyde River fu the yacht Erin Sir
Thomas Lipton says that he was ]geld
up by an ancient and dirty manure
barge, the only occupant of which was
a grimy man smoking a short, black
pipe.
Finding that the fellow did not
make any oifo•t to get out of the way,
the officer on the bridge of the yacht
shouted el 'him In true nautical style.
At that the man rose slowly, etrcich-
ed himself, removed his pipe from his
mouth and then asked;
"An' is it yerself that's captain of
that ship?"
"No," was the reply, "hut I'm the
chief officer."
"Then talk to per egaals, my ishan," ;
retorted the grimy -faced bargeman
with infinite condeeconsion. "Sure,
I'm the captain of this one,"
The Indians' Sugar.
Indians have as tenacious a memory
for benefits as they have for injuries.
A contributor to Field and Stream
gives en especially pleasing reminis-
cence illustrattive of that characteris-
tic of the red pian. He lived in Iowa
when the state was young. Indians
were still plentiful and often camped
near his home.
On one momoraelo 00casion, he
writes, the dignified old chief, whose
name was Wakemo, came with his
family to eat with us. First they to
all the bread on the plate; next they
ate the potatoes, and so on, seriatim.
After the meal the chid held open his
blanket and said, "Potatoes." My
father took a gunny sack•and went to
the cellar, closely followed by Wake -
mo, his squaw, and us seven children.
As my father. began to fill the sack,
old Wakemo granted "No!" and opened
his blanket; and his squaw began to
throw the potatoes on its spacious
folds, The blanket held at least two
bushels of our best tubers,
Net a word of thanks did tile Indian
vouchsafe. But ono morning in the
next fall we found on our doorstep
half of a fine young deer with the synh-
bol of Chief Wakenho on it and the
words, "110 no forget." And the day
they left the country we found a large
"chunk" of buffalo pleat in the same
Place, with the wine inscription.
Father ,took no children to see the
ean1p, and in broken English the small
papooses talked ti us. When we
reached Walcenlo s wigwam, he pre-
sented us each with a large egg, which
we all solemnly accepted with thanks,
The eggs were unaccountably heavy,
and on opening ane we discovered
that the contents had.been removed
and warm maple sugar substituted,
making a delicious sweet the like of
which I had never seen before and
have seen but once since.
More than fifty years afterwards I
went to see an Indian reservation, and
es my friends and I were viewing the
scones an Indian boy came up to us
and shyly requested nue to follow him.
He led me to a tent where I found a
Perfectly strange Indian brave, who

mottens urged me to take it. Ile -was
the son of the old Chief Wawemo, and
he remembered my coming to the
camp when he was a papoose. "Po-
tatoes,' he said, and then he added,
"My brave father bade me never for-
get," .
When I made it clear to hint that I
had uo_use for the gun, he inquired if

Our Priceless Gardens.
Do you realize what a proportion of
your' life you spend in eating? If you
happen to do the coolcin•, , you un-
doubtedly clo! But did you ever stop
to think what a large. propartion of
what ,you eat comes from a garden
and should come from your garden?
With the important part which vita -
mines have been found to play in
health and growth, a vegetable garden
has become of even more vital im-
portance than ever before.
Too many of us are apt, to put pe-
tatone on the table three limes a day
and think that we have fulfilled all
our vegetable o•blegatiens to the inner
man. Leek in the seed catalogs
and you will see a world of food
plants there besides potatoes.
Following is a list from which to
choose: Asparagus, cabbage (white
and red), carrots, camlifiower, celery,
Swiss chard, corn, creel, cucumber,
egg plant, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi,
lettuce (head and leaf), melons (00.1013
and wstermelon),' mu,kar1 for greees,
onions, ph5rle33 5011sni15, peas, pep-

"If God So Clothe the Grass
of the Field,"
Three men, sitting on the piazza of
a hotel, were discussing religion.
"Credulous and timid persons need
religion," said one of the twa younger
men. "Without it they wonitl find life
unbearable. Reason has little or no
hold upon thein; religion ]seeps them
in lime,"
"Religion fs well enough in its
place," said the other young man,
"but that place grows smaller. Science
tells us that the whole mystery of life
can be explained in terms of matter."
"Gentlemen," the older man, a well-
knewn judge, said gravely, "what you
say leads me to believe that you may
be able to answer ane One or two
questions that I have thought over for
a long time. What makes a blade of
grass green?"
"It is merely a matter et vegetable
salts," answered one of the younger
amen. "The kind and the variety of'
color depend simply o, the proper -
tions in which the salts are diffused,"
"That le probably true," replied the
judge. "Given a certain proportion of
those coloring elements, as provided
by the soil and selected by the plant,
we get a green blade of grass. But
how account for it? We must remem-
ber that from all the varied proper-
ties of the soil the blade of grass must
select precisely that which it requires
for its own color; we must remember,
too, that what is true of the grass .is
true of the rose. The least mistake
would brting about a like change in
the plant. But no mistake is eer.
made, How does science account for
it?"
