DOWMAN-DOZIER MFG.
COMPANY.
In the offlee below—thi* gentleman of many
appellation* rat In hi* room on the third
floor before a roaring Are, toasting hi* shins
and cogitating on hi* fortune*.
Looked at ill one light, these were at the
very ebb. If payment had been demanded
be could not hnve found the money for the
Are before which he wa* comforting hlm-
eelf, much less for the deleetuble dinner he
had oaten some hour* before. But payment
waa not demnnded. Being n specious gen
tleman. of good address, with n tine, open
countenance am! n large nml stylish port*
inanteau, he was welcomed to the privileges
of the accommodating hostelry without
question.
Besides this outward show, which wk*
always a large part of his snick In trade,
his entire capital consisted of two shilling*,
a Inckv farthing he kept to to** with and
an unlimited amount of nerve. Upon this
latter Mr. Danfort!) relied, both to take
him through certaiu tight places nnd to re
plenish his fund* when that became abso
lutely necessary. -It had become, necessary
now. nnd be was only waiting until the
proper time to take prompt and effective
action.
The goddefl* Fortune, hla only acknowl
edged mistress, had placed 111 hi* hands the
opportunity for the replenishment of hi*
purse. That opportunity took the shape of
,-uug f
low. with a downy moustache; the bride, „
willowy girl, so euveloped In furs that one
could not see her face, but with a delicious
ly small ankle, nod a charming turn of the
wrist when bolding up her skirts.
These thing* Mr. Dnnforflradmired as lie-
came a man of taste, but most of itl! was
his attention attracted by the sparkling ear
rings that twinkled from under ner veil. He
was au amateur tn diamond*, and kuew a
good thing when he saw It, ns well ns
Grubb’ the pawnbroker—who. by the way,
could be counted on to discount those same
diamonds If luck turned that way. An ex
amination of the visitor* 4 book, and a little
casual conversation with the clerk, showed
these young people to be Francis Drum
mond and wire, nml that they were estab
lished In a suite of rooms on the third floor
front. i
And so Mr. Danforth sat and meditated
on these things, and wnited for the clock In
the church tower round the corner to.strike
three, which was bis hour for business. This
rule of action was based on a great deal of
practical Investigation as to the precise time
when people sleep soundest. A* every
keen observer knows. 2 o’clock tn the morn
ing Is the hour when the world turns over
for good reasons; 3 o’clock Is the time when
It Is again sleeping soundly. By way of
preparation, Mr. Danforth carefully re
moved his pointed patent leather shoes.
Then he opened his bag. nnd extracted
therefrom n pair of heavy felt slippers,
which fastened about the ankle with elastic.
He also took out a sliver-mounted revolver.
It was not loaded and was only Intended to
display to persona * who happened to bo
wakeful nnd who were disposed to express
surprise at the presence of an unknown and
unbidden guest.
In all hla-experience, which extended over
sonje Ave years of fortune-hunting in two
hemispheres, lie had met with bnt one man
who cared to look Into the musxle of the re
volver nnd at the same time make a dis
turbance. This mat) had comoellfd Mr.
Dnnforth to hit him botween the eyes with
bis left, nnd “uppercut" him with his right,
before the Intruder's exit was undisputed.
He now adjusted the slippers, placed the
:oastlng.
Half nn hour later, when the clock struck
3. he was at the door of the suite on the
third floor front, llow he got through the
door tt Is not necessary to state, but, to a
man of bis experience, u lock or n bolt was
as little binding ns a spider’s thread, nnd to
? lv© away the secret of unbolting a door
rom the outside would be a poor bit of
policy. He found lilmsclf In a dressing
room. With n match that bud neither splut
ter nor smell he lighted the gas. In the bed
room beyond a tiny night light wus burning
nnd he paused for nn Instant at the door to
make sure of the regular breathing of the
sleepers. Then he turned to the toilet table
which stood between the window*. It was
overspread with a most elaborate nnd
tempting display. There were sliver-backed
brushes of all sixes, mirrors, cutglnss per
fume bottles, knives and scissors and dainty
powder boxes.
Mr. Danforth looked at all these with a
loving eye; he could appreciate flue things,
even though they belonged to another. Ho
even touched bis cheek with perfume nnd
smoothed his hslr a little as he looked Into
the mirror. He was really n good-looking
fellow. ^
But other matter* pressed. Opening the
top drawer, he fumbled through It. There
wa* n profusion of neckties, collars and
cuffs, underclothing nnd line linen. There
were also links for the cuffs, studs of flue
gold and pins of precious atones, but Mr.
Danforth put them aside, lie opened the
next drawer. The linen was liner. It wa*
fluffed and ribboned. There was a sus
piciously large pile of handkerchiefs In one
corner.
He lifted them nnd disclosed a Jewel Iwx
of soft leather. Ills eves sparkled, nnd he
snapjHMl up the Ihl. Tin* diamonds within
sparkled hack at him—two ns prettily set
ones ns he hud ever seen. In earrings;
listening a minute, entered. The ntghtTtsht
cast a dull glow over the objects m th
ro.,m. The light fell on the f«e e of the
sleeping woman, nnd warmed Into a pi*.,;
lug color the hair that lay on the pillow-
She was lying on her side, With her arm
thrown ortt. and her Ups Just parted In the
effort of respiration. Mr. Danforth went >.
step nearer. She tamed a little ana th,
{ ellow ruffle of her gowu fell away f r .*m
er throat. He could see her face dearlr
He stopped, grasped nervously at the l»©,i
post and put his baud to bis eyes; then It
want Involuntarily to Ids left pocket.
, He leant further over and peered hard
Into the girl’s face. His Ups smiled, W
there was no suille In bis eyes. “Loulse"-
be mattered, and the room with the Utt'u
dot of light faded away.
In Its place he saw a long stretch of wblt«
lunch with the waves coming Im-lnp, Up
11c saw s while umbrella, aud under It «
girl sketching, while at her feet lay a man
reading aloud from a magazine. Once h«
caught up her hand and klased It. The
of the girl was the same that lav on the
pillow, and the man was Howard Dnafnrtb
He thought of a good mauy things that
had happened that summer, and he thought
of them a little sadly. Things turned oqt
queerly—very queerly. If It had not been
for—but he smiled grimly and put tha
thought from him.
The room seemed to be getting very hot
Perhaps he was nervous; yet there* were
few things, no matter bow startling, that
could upset his coolness. But what was all
that ruuVde from the street below, aad
what He raised his bead and sniffed at
the air. Jnst then a cry floated up to him
from below, s boy's shrill voice, and It said
"Fir*."
■Ue went Into the outer room. It wan
went Into the hall. The smoke rolled hear-
lly along it. What was to be done must be
done quickly. Catching up a white gown
of flannel from n chair, he bouuded back
Into the sleeping room. He laid hla Lot
hnnd on the forehead of tb^ man. The
pretense wakened him, and be sat up won-
derlngly.
"(let up." said Danforth. "The place la
on Are. Don't atop to dress, but tell your
wife to throw on this gown. Hurry."
"What Is It?" said the girl, startled sud
denly Into consciousness. "What la it,
Frank? Who was that?"
But Mr. Danforth was already In the out-
er room. He stepped to the window and
looked down. The street was fnll of men
He felt for a rope that hang colled on t
hook by the window.
