he Caliban had been left behind, forgotten! Emily's panic and haste must have been great indeed to cause her to forsake the pet she had 60 tenderly loved! Much as he detested the spiteful little creature, he could not leave it to starve, for her sake. Morrow tried the kitchen door, but found it securely locked from within. The catch on the pantry window was loose, however, and Morrow managed to pry it open with his jackknife. With a hasty glance about to see that he was not observed, he pushed up the window and clambered in, closing it cautiously after him. He stumbled through the semi-obscurity and gloom into the kitchen; instantly the piteous cry ceased and Caliban rose from the cold hearth and bounded gladly to him, purring and rubbing against his legs. Mechanically he stooped and stroked it; then, after carefully pulling down the shades, he lighted the lamp upon the littered table, ar.d looked about him. Everything bore evidence as had the living room, of a hasty exodus. The fire was extinguished in the range, and it was filled to the brim with flakes of light ashes. Evidently Brunell or his daughter had paused long enough in their flight to burn armfuls of old papers possibly incriminating ones. On the table was the debris of a hasty meal. Morrow poured some milk from the pitcher Into a saucer and placed it on the floor for the hungry kitten; then, taking the lamp, he started on a tour of Inspection through the house. Everywhere the wildest confusion and disorder reigned. Morrow turned aside from the door of Emily's room, but entered her father's. There, save for a few articles of old clothing strewn about, he found comparative order and neatness. The simple toilet articles were in their places, the narrow bed just as Jimmy Brunell had left it when he sprang up to admit his nocturnal visitor. On the floor near the bureau on which the lamp stood, something white s.nd crumpled met Morrow's eye; he stooped quickly and picked it up. It was a large single sheet of paper, and as the operative smoothed it out. he realized that it must be the message which h?d been hurriedly brought to Brunell in the early hour before the dawn. The paper had lain just where he had dropped it, crushed from his hand after reading the warning it contained. Morrow turned up the wick of his own lamp and stared curiously at the missive. The sheet of paper was ruled at intervals, the lines and Interstices filled with curious hieroglyphics, and at a first glance it appeared to the operative's puzzled eyes to be a mere portion of a page of music. Then he observed that old figures and letters, totally foreign to the notes of a printed score, were interspersed between the rest, and moreover only the treble clef had been used. "Oh, Lord!" he groaned to himself. "It's another cryptogram, and I don't believe Blaine himself will be able to solve this one!" He stared long and uncomprehend ingiy at it: then with a sigh of baffled interest he folded it carefully and placed it in his pocket. As he did so, there came a sudden sharp report from outside, the tinkle of a broken window pane, and a bullet, whistling past his ear, embedded itself in the wall behind him! Instinctively Morrow flung himself flat upon the floor, but no second shot was fired. Instead, he heard the muf fled receding of flying footsteps from the sidewalk, and an excited cry or two as neighboring windows were raised and curious heads were thrust out. Hastily extinguishing the lamp, Mor row felt his way to the kitchen, where he pocketed Caliban with scant cere mony and departed swiftly the way he had come, through the pantry window. By scaling a back-yard wall or two he found an alley leading to the street; and making a detour of several blocks, he returned to his lodgings, to find Mrs. Quinlan waiting in great excitement to relate her version of the revolver shot. Morrow listened with what patience he could muster, and then handed Caliban over to her mercy. "It's Miss Brunell's cat," he explained. "You'll take care of it for a day or two, at least, won't you? I expect to hear from her soon, and I'd like to be able to restore It to her." . "Well, I ain't what you would call crazy about cats," the landlady returned, somewhat dubiously, "but I couldnt let it die In this cold. I'll kpen if. nf rnnrsp fill vnn Tioo ! Emily. Where did you find it'" "Over in their yard." heVesponded, I With prompt mendacity. "I was in the I neighborhood and heard the shot fired, so I ran in to have a look around and. I

see if anyone was hurt, and I came across this poor little chap yowling on the doorstep. I won't want any supper tonight, Mrs. Quinlan. I'm goin.i out again." Within the hour. Morrow presented himself at Henry Blaine's office. This time he did not wait to be told that the famous investigator was out, but writing something on a card, he sent it in to the confidential secretary. In a moment he was admitted, to find Blaine seated imperturbably behind his desk, fingering the card his young operative had sent in to him. "What is it, Guy?" he asked, not unkindly. "You say you have a communication of great importance." "I think it is, sir," returned the other stiffly. "At least I have the message which warned Brunell of your raid upon his shop. It's another cipher, a different one this time." "Indeed? That's good work, Guy. But how did you know it was a warning to old Jimmy of the raid? Could you read it?" Morrow shook his head. "No, and I don't see how anyone else could! It must have been a warning of some sort, for it was what

He passea tne cryptogram over to his chief, who studied it for a while with a meditative frown, then laid it aside and listened in a non-commital silence to his story. When the incidents of the day had been narrated, Elaine said: "That was a close call. Guy, that shot from the darkness. It must have come from the opposite side of the street, of course, from before your own lodgings. The bullet glanced upward in its course, didn't it?" "No, sir. That's the funny part of it! The spot where, it is imbedded in the waU lg very irttle h5gher than the nole in the window pane." "And Mrs. Quinlan's, where you board, is directly opposite?" "Yes. It's the only house on the other side of the street for fifty or more feet on either side." "Then you'd better look out for trouble, Guy. That shot came from your own house, probably from the window of your own room, if it is the second floor front, as you say. There's a traitor in camp. Any new lodgers today that you know of?"

"The recent tragedy at Lima proves that men will do by the force of a collective will what they would not do as individuals," he said. "The age needs men who can live in crowds and keep inviolate their own individuality. Nehemiah was a sturdy non-conformist. He refused the beaten path, he cut his own trails through the unbroken wilderness." Great possibilities for trade are offered by the Caucasus. Most of the merchants, however, are men of small capital. -J
