"No, thank God!" said the stoker
good-naturedly. "Weds it worth to

"Half a driller," said Neil.
The other man eyed the clothes eov-

Neil agreed.
"Done!" said the stoker," and they
shook hands on it.
They changed clothes. Neil's flesh
crawled a little at the grime, but he
told himselftItat coal dirt was clean

occupations were notoriously dewily.

street fence and took a cauttous sur-

they swung themselves over, and
parted at the other side with a hasty

"So long," said Neil. "Good tuck

ecl over to the police. He was ar-
raigned in the night court and re-
manded to the Tombs for trial. After
that all trace of him was mysterious-

the sergeant in charge of pries:niers at
the court and the warden cif the city

between the two. There were inter-
views with each.
The escaped man was undoubtedly
Insane, but gifted with a devilish
cunning, and with every appearance
of sanity. The murdered man had not
been identified. A fairly accurate des-
cription of Neil was given. Finally
there were hysterical alleged inter-
views with Madame do la Warr and
no Old Codger,
All this had the effect of violently
irritating Neil. Such preposterous

it published that he was insane

queer turn to see the idle 'lone -shore -

In due course he obtaleed copies of
all the noon editions. The soldier
journals smopthed him down a- little.
The most accurate' of these, after selfc
righteously rebuking its light-laeatied
contemporary, told a fairly straight
story of the affair: ,
The murdered man had been, shot
ib the forehead, not attacked with a
mallet. The revolver. had eot been
found. The yictitn had been identi-
fied•aa Caspar Tolsen, the landlord of
the house on Fourteenth street. Ap-
parently he had been attacked when
he called for his rent. The models
found in tho murderer's room were in
the possession of the police. a

CHAPTER VI.
In' ne same store where he wrote
his letter Neil bought a blue cotton
shirt :and a red satin necktie. Issuing
into the street again with his heart in
his mouth, he reached the corner in
safety, and after posting his letter,
hastila turned away from the danger-
ous n.eigbhorhood of West street.
Ile' was- in one of the nondescript'
streets .of stables, Junk yards and dil•
apidated little tenements that run
from Weet to Hudson streets. Hifi
first lodging in New York had been
on Hudson street, and he was fairly
familiar with the neighborhood. This
little etreeta was almost empty of peo-
ole. Halaway through the block over
a eantshackle deserted stable he saw
ett windiest% one of a reward three show-
ing as Many broken panes as whole
ones. bearing the sign "Flat to lot."
Maleing sure that he was unwatehed
at the moinent, he turned into the
door beneath.
He found himself in ail inky pass-
age, and fell over the bottom step of
a flight of:stairs. He climbed cautious-
ly up the broken and littered treads.
There .was a damp, foul smell on the
.0n the landing above a little
light filtered down through a broken
scuttle, There were two doors giving
on thelanding, both locked.
Nell went on up the rickety ladder
to the ;scuttle and out on the roof.
There were no tall buildings near
with windows to overlook him.. In the
roof he found a skylight witli a beak
-
en pane. This was what he had hoped
for. He had only.- to reach an arm in
to unfasten the hooks, and the way
was clear. ' -
The fact that it was hooked was
good evidence that no one had gone
that way before him.
He dropped to the floor beneath,
and looked behind him. This was the
vacant "flat," nOt exactly a desirable
dwelling, but suitable to his present
purpose, Not much danger of lib be-
teg disturbed. Rats scurried away
through hetes in the floor. Fallen plea
ter, soot and the debris left by the
last tenants lay all around. There
were three rooms, front, 'middle and
back. Front and back rooms each
had a door on the stair hall, and the
key to the front room door was in the

water. He resolved to spend the aa
ternoon in washing the Coal dust out
o Itis clothes. The windows in the•
back looked out on the disused stable
yard.
. Just Whet' he was beginning to feel
snug the sound of a heavy fall in the
middle mole brought his heart leap-
ing to his throat. Springing to the
doorway he found himself facing a
thing, halt -grown boy who pointed a
'revolver at him. . .
"Hands up, Neil Ottoway!" he cried

London -He said that his name was
Brown and nobody believed him. But
b.is mates never said to his face that
he was not telling the truth. In fact,
the men of the machine gun team
were afraid ot hint. He was a queer
customer, ln appearance he was an
old man. bald and wrinkled. one of
those who could go up to a recruiting
office and say, "My age is no 41.
Having no certificate of my birth,
you must take any word for it. I may
look old, but one's years can never
be judged by wrinkles. Seine people
toyer grow old and I am one of
them." But as Brown was a very mod-
est man he, of course, never spoke
like that.
He was born in London: the only
time he ever left there was wheu he
came to France. So he said, but again
none believed this. Ile knew quite a

The words follow:
