I could lay hold upon:

• "Ho! Listen to the parson preach-

a fine one to do that—at this hour of
his life!"
"I tell you. you endanger every-

At that 1 lost my every last shred
of commonplace everyday sanity, and
let mYself swing without further re-
serve into the wild current of the
night.
, "Oft, very well!" said 1 shrilly.
"You will take chances, you will run
risks, hein? My friend, you do not
stir out of this house this night with-
out me!" He stared, as well he
might, but 1 folded my arms and star-
ed back. Let him leave me, bent on
such an errand ? I to sit at home
idly, awaiting the issue, whatever it
might be? .
"I mean it, John Flint. I am go-
ingswith you. Was it itqt 1, then, who
saved those toots and had them ready
to your hand:? Whatever happens
to you now happens to me as well.
It is quite useless for you to argue,
to scowl, to grind the teeth, to swear
like that. And it will be dangerous
to try te trick me: -1 am. going!"
For he' was protesting, violently and
profanely. •His profanity was so sin-
cere, so earnest, so heartfelt, that it
mounted intb heights of real eloqu-
ence. Also, he did everything but
knock me down and lock me indoors.
"Whatever happens to you happens
to me," 1 repeated doggedly, and I
was not to lid moved. I had a hazy
notion that somehow thy being with
him might protect him in case of any
untoward happening, and minirnite
his risks.
1 ran into his bedroom and clapped
his best hat on my head, leaving my,
biretta on his bed; and I put on his
new dark overcoat over my cassock,
Both the ,borecivred garments were too

with an uncomPromming squareness',

hard hint of 'White in the eyes, but

John Flint cast upon this charming
likeness' one • brie and pregnant
glance.
'Regular old 'Durham shorthotn,
isn't he?" he coininented in a low
voice. ,"Wants \to charge right out of
his frame and trample. Take a look.
at that nose, parson -like a cluble-
barrele& shotgun, for all the world!
Beautiful brutIngleslay. Makes you
think of that rainotaur sideshow they
used to put over on the Greelcs."
In view of Laurence -and of Mary
Virginia, I saw th, rsemblance.
Mr. Hunter's office was less -formal
than Mr. Inglesby's, and furnished
with an exact and Critical taste alien
to Appleboro, where many a worthy
citizen's office trappings consist Of an
alpaca coat, a chair and a pine table,
three or four fly-secked calendars
and shabby leers, and a box of saw
dust: To these may sometimes. be
added a pot of paste with a dead
cockroach in it, or a hound dogs either
sCratching fleas br snapping at flies.
Hers the square .of carpet was
brown asfallen pine -needles in Octo-
br, the walls were a soft tan, the
ceiling and .woodworic iory-toned.
One saw between thewindows a book
case filled with handsomely bound
books, and on top of It a few pieces
of such old china as woeld enrapture
my mother. The White marble man-
tel held one or two aigned photographs
in silver frames, a pair of old gandle-
sticks of quaint and pleasing design,
and it dull pottery vase full of Jap-
ense quince. There were a few good
pictures on the walls—a, gay impu-
dent Detaille Lancer voliose hardy
fees; of a figbting Frencinitisri warm-
ed one's heart; • tome sketches signed
with „notable American mines; and
above the mantel a female form cloth-
ed only in the ambient air, her long
hair swept back from her shoulders,
and a pearl -colored dove alighting up-
on her outstretched finger.
I suppose one might call -iite whole
room beautiful, for even the desk was
of that perfection of simplicity whose
nest is as rubies. It was not, how-
ever, a womanish room; there was no
slightest hint of femininity in its un-
cluttered, sane, forceful orderliness.
It was rather like Hunter himself—
polished, perfect, with a note of fin-
ality and of fitness upon it like a hall
mark. Nothing out of keeping, noth-
ing overdone. Even the red petal
fallen' from the pottery vase. on the
white marble mantel was a last note
of perfection. •
Flint glanced about him with the
falcon-glnce that nothing escapes.
For a moment the light stayed upon
the nude figure over the Mantel—the
one real nude in all A pplaboro, which
cherishes family portraitS of rake-
helly old colonials in vvis, •chokers,
and tight -fitting small, and: lolloping
ladies with very low necks and six-
teen petticoat, but where scandalized
church -goers, have been known to
truss up a little plaster copy of the
inane Greek Slave in a podket-hand-
kerchief, by way of needful drapery.
_ "What I want to know Is, why a
lady should have to strip to the buff
jtist to play with a pigeon?" breathed
John Fint, and' his tune was captious.
It did not strike nu, as being to the
last degree *hirrt.sica I. improbable, al-
together absurd, that such a man
should pause at such a time to com-
irnant upon art as he thinks it isn't. On
the contrary it was a consistent and
coherent feature of that astounding
nightmare in which we figured. The
absurd and the impossible • always
happen' in dreams. I am sure that if

casual.

Slipping' into his gray overcoat, he
pulled on his felt hat, thrust his hands
into his wellworn dogskin gloves, and
picked up the package. Nobody in
the Work/IS-Vet' looked- less like -a
criminal than this brdwn-faced, keen -
eyed Man with his pleasant bearing.
Why, this was John Flin, the kindly
bug -hunter all Appleboto loved, "that
good and kind and Christian man, oar
brother John Flint, sometinies known
as the Butterfly Man:"
"Now, don't you worry any at all,
parson," he was saying.' "There's
nothing to be afraid of take

=Less if theyre in existence. I've got
to get them. What else was I born
for, I'd like to know?" •
The question caaght me like a lash
across the face.
"You were born," I said violently,
"to viin an name, to do a
work of inestimable value. And you

• CHAPTER XIX.
• THE FO IT OF SLIPPY McGEE
The wind that preeedes the dawn
was blowing a freakish aral impish
wind though not a vicious one. One
might imagine it animated by those
sportive and capricious • nature -spirits
an old Father of the church used to
call the monkeys of God. Every now
and then .a great deluge of piled up
clouds broke into tossing billows :and
went rolling and tumbling across the
face of the sy, and in and out of:
theseeswirling masses the high moon
played hide-and-seek and the stars
showed like ,pin -points. .Such street
lights as we have being extinguished
at midniht, the tree-shadedside-
: elks •were in impenetrable shadow;
the gardens that edged theist were de-
batable gound, fill of grotesque Sil
houettes, backgsounded by black bulks
of silent houses all profoundly asleep.
As for us, we also were shadow -s,
whose feet were soundless on the
sandy sidewalks. We moved in the
dark like travellers in the City of.
Dreadful Night.
And so we came at :last to the red-
brick bank, Approaching it by the
long stretelh of the li/cCall garden
which adjoins it. For years there
have been battered "For Sale" signs
tacked onto its trees and fences, but
no one ever -came nearer purchasing
the McCall property than asking the
price. Folks ,say that MeCalls
be-
lieve that AnPleboro -is going to rival
-New York some qf these days and.
are holding their garden for sky;
scraper sites. • '
I was vety •grateful to the McCall
estimate of ' Appleboro's fsiture, fdr
the long stretch shadowed by their
overgrown shrubbery brdught us to
the dotsii leading to the-upstair
flees, withOut any possibledanger of
detection. - •
• The bank had been a Stately old.
home before business seized upon it,
tore out ibs whole lower floors, and
convertedit into a strong and com-
modious bank. •It is the one building
in all 'Appletboro that keeps a light
burning all night, a/proceeding some
citizens regard as unnecessary and ex-
travagank: for is not Old Man Jack-
son there employed, as night watch-
man? Old Man Jackson lost a finger
arid a piece of an ear before Appom-
attox, and the surrender deprived him.
of all opportunity to repay in kind.
It was his eltfrished hope that "sotne
smartybus creoks'd tiy to git in my
bank some uh these nights—an' /
certainly hope to God they'll be Yan-
kees, that's all."
Somehow, they -hadn't tried. Per-
hapsthey had heard of Old Man Jack-
ses watchful waiting and knew he
wasn't at all too proud to fight. His
Oarless was a small room in the
rear of the building, Which he shared
with a huge gray tomcat named Mos-
by. With those two on guard, Ap-
pleboro knew its bank was an im-
pregnable as Gibraltar. But as: rib -
body could possibly gain entrance to
the vaults from above, the upp'er par --
tion of the building, 'given over to
office, was of course quite unguard-
ed.
One reached these upper offices • by
a: long walled passageway to the left,
where the sidewall of the bank ad-
joins the McCall garden. The door
leading to this stairway is not flush
with the street, but ie set back some
feet; this forms a sm:all alcove, which
the light fliekering through the bank's
barred windows does not quite reach.
John Flint stepped into this smell
cavern and 1 after him. As if by ma-
gic the loeked -door opened, and we
moved noiseleasly up the narrow stairs
With tin signs tacked on them. At
the head of the flight we paused while
the flashlight gave us our bearings.,
Here a short passage opens into the
wide central hall. Inglesby's offices
are to the lft, with the windows op-
ening upon the tangled wilderness of
the McCall place.
Right in front of us half a dozen
Sets of false teeth, arranged ins a
horrid circle around a cigar -box full
of extracted molars such as made one
cringe, grinned bi-ttingly out of a
glass case before the dentist's office
door. The effect was of a Unless and

in it. I gripped the rosary and told
it, bead after bead.
