I can bear the slight inconvenience of temporary ill-health in a cause like this; and if necessary the cough will be real, and the headache positive.” •Sweetwater! We’d better give the task to another man—to some one Broth erson has never seen and won't be sus picious of?” • He'll be suspicious of everybody who tries to make friends with him now ; only a little more so with me, that's all.

Nothing else will cany me through. I must be lieve in his guilt." "Yes, that's essential.” "And I do. I never was surer of any thing than 1 am of that. But I’ll have the deuce of a time to get evidence enough for a grand jury. That's plainly to be seen, and that's why I'm so dead set on the business. It's such an even toss up." "I don't call it even He's got the start of you every way You can't go to his tenement: the janitor there would recognize you even if he didn't." Now I will give you a piece of good news. They're to have a new janitor next week. I learned that yesterday. The present one Is too easy. He'll be out long before I'm ready to show myself there; and so will the woman who took care of the poor washerwoman's little child. I'd not have risked her curiosity. Luck Isn't all against us. How does Mr. Chai loner feel about it?” "Not very confident; but willing to give you any amount of rope. Sweetwater, he let me have a batch of letters written by his daughter which he found in a secret drawer. They are not to be read, or even opened, unless a great necessity arises. They were written for Brotherson’s eye— or so the father says—but she never sent them; too exuberant perhaps. If you ever want them —I can not give them to you tonight, and wouldn't if I could-don't go to Mr. Chailoner—you must never be seen at his hotel —and don’t come to me, but to the little house in West Twenty ninth street, where they will be kept for you, tied up in a package with your name on it. By the way'! what name are you going to work under?" “My mother’s—Zugg." "Good! I’ll remember. You can al ways write or even telephone to Twenty ninth street. I'm in consttint communi cation with them there, and it's quite safe." "Thanks. You're sure the superintend ent is with me?” "Yes. but not the inspector. He sees nothing but the victim of a strange coin cidence in Orlando Brotherson." " .gain the scales hang even. But they wont' remain so. One. side is bound to rise Which? That's the question, Mr. Gryce." Opposed. There was a new tenant in the Hicks street tenement. He arrived late one afternoon and was shown two rooms, one in tiie rear building and another in the front one. Both were on the fourth floor. He demurred at the former, thought it gloomy, but finally consented to try it. ’’he other, he said, was too expensive, 'he janitor—new to the business was > "t much taken with him and showed it, winch seemed to offend the newcomer, who was evidently an irritable fellow owing to in health. However, they came to terms as 1 have said, and the man went away, promising 1" -end in his belongings the next day. He smiled as he said this and the jan itor. who had rarely seen such a change take place in a human face, looked un comfortable for a moment and seemed disposed to make some remark about the room they were leaving. But, thinking better of it, locked the door and led the way downstairs. As the prospective tenant followed, he may have noticed, probably did, that the door they had just left was a new one—the only new thing to be seen in the whole shabby place. The next night that door was locked on the inside. The young man had taken possession. As he put away the rem nants of a meal he had cooked for him self. he cast a look at his surroundings, and imperceptibly sighed. Then he brightened again and sitting down on his solitary chair, he turned his eyes on the window w’hich. uncurtained and without shade, stared open-mouthed, as it were. *’ the opposite wall rising high across the court. In that wall, one window only seemed to interest him and that was on a level with his own. The shade of this window was up, but there was no light back of it and so nothing of the interior could be seen. But his eye remained fixed upon it, while his hand, stretched out towards the lamp burning near him, held itself in ■ , A Shampoo for Blondes vj *= x J ■ofwehiM mad l>vi«Dratiae Tka no the market tkat <HJ Ms **• »f ilondt Mr from ' •od fie* to ■•attractive drat or /■•W-MaAMr hMr a sM* that it Mtverwihr •Amercd. dating or dftrarW«r” A ,lM •eeka’ tre atm* «t for lI.SO / MME. ELIZABETH GILLE No. 1 Hamilton Gtm«o Now Yark Gty AwaCr*, _ COURSEY & MUNN readiness to lower the light at a minute's notice. Did he only see the opposite wall and that unillumined window? Was there no memory of the time when, in a previous contemplation of those dismal panes, he beheld stretching between them and him self. a long, low bench with a plain wood en tub upon it, from which a dripping cloth beat out upon the boards beneath a dismal note, monotonous as the ticking of a clock? One might judge that such memories were indeed his. from the rapid glance he cast behind him at the place where the bed stood in those days. It was placed differently. But if he saw. and if he heard these suggestions from the past, he was not* less alive to the exactions of the present, for, as his glance flew back across the court, his Anger suddenly moved and the flame controlled sputtered and went out. At the same instant, the window opposite sprang into view as the lamp was lit within, and for several minutes the whole interior remained visible—the books, the work table, the cluttered furniture, and, most interesting of all. its owner and oc cupant. It was upon the latter that the newcomer fixed his attention, and with an absorption equal to that he saw expressed in the countenance opposite. Bt’t his was the absorption of watch fulness; that of the other of introspection. Mr. Brotherson—(we will no longer call him Dunn even here where he is known by' no other name)—had entered the room clad in his heavy overcoat, and. not hav ing taken it off before lighting his lamp, still stood with it on. gazing eagerly down at the model occupying the place of hon or on the large center table. He was not touching it—not at this moment—but that his thoughts were with it. that his .whole mind was concentrated on it, was evident to the watcher across the court; and. as this watcher took in this face and noticed the loving care with which the enthusiastic inventor finally put out his finger to rearrange a thread or twirl a wheel, his disappointment found utter ance in a sigh which echoed sadly through the dull and cheerless room. Had he ex pected this stern and self-contained man to show an open indifference to work and the hopes of a lifetime? If so, this was the first of the many surprises awaiting him. He was gifted, however, with the pa tience of an automaton and continued to watch his fellow-tenant as long as the latter's shade remained up. When it fell, he rose and took a few steps up and down, but not with the celerity and pre cision which usually’ accompanied his movements. Doubt disturbed his mind and impeded his activity. He had caught a fair glimpse of Brotherson's face as he approached the window, and though it continued to show abstraction, it equally displayed serenity and a complete satis faction with the present if notWlth the future. Had he mistaken his man after all? Was his instinct, for the first time in his active career, wholly at fault? He had succeeded in getting a glimpse of his quarry in the privacy of his own room, at home with his thoughts and and unconscious of any espionage, and how had he found him? Cheerful, and natu ral in all his movements. But the evening was young. Retrospect comes with later and more lonely hours. There will be opportunities yet for study ing this impassive countenance under much more telling and productive cir cumstances than these. He would await these opportunities with cheerful antici pation. Meanwhile, he would keep up the routine watch he had planned for this night. Something might yet Occur. At all events, he would have exhausted the situation from this standpoint. And so it came to pass that at an hour when all the other hard-working people in the building were asleep, or at least striving to sleep, these two men still sat at their work, one in the light, the other in the darkness, facing each other, con sciously to the one, unconsciously to the other, across the hollow' well of the now silent Court. Eleven o’clock! Twelve! No change on Brotherson’s part or in his room; but a decided one in the place where Sweetwater sat. Objects which had been totally indistinguishable even to his penetrating eye could now be seen in ever brightening outline The moon had reached the open space above the court, and he was getting the full benefit of it. But it was a benefit he would have been glad to dispense w ith. Darkness was like a shield to him. He did not feel quite sure that he wanted this shield removed. With no curtain to the window and no shade, and all this brilliance pouring into the room, he feared the disclosure of his presence there, or, if not that, some effect on his own mind of these memories he was more anxious to see mirrored in an other's discomfiture than in his own. Was it to escape any lack of concen tration which these same memories might bring, that ne rose and stepped to the window? Or was it under one of those involuntary’ impulses which move us in spite of purselves to do the very thing our judgment disapproves? No sooner had he approached the sill than Mr. Brotherson’s shade flew way up and he. too. looked out. Their glances met, and for an instant the hardy de tective experienced that involuntary stag nation of the blood which follows an inner shock. He felt that he had been recog nized. The moonlight lay full upon his face, and the other had seen and known him Else, why the constrained attitude and sudden rigidity observable in this confronting figure, with its partially lift ed hand? A man like Brotherson makes no pause in any action however trivial, without a reason Either he had been transfixed by this glimpse of his enemy on watch, or—daring thought! had seen enough of sepulchral suggestion in the wan face looking forth from this fatal window to shake him from his composure and let loose the grinning devil of re morse from its iron prison house? If so, the movement was a memorable one. and the hazard quite worth while He had gained—no! he had gained nothing. He had been the fool of his own wishes. No one. let alone Brotherson. could have mis taken his face for that of a woman. He had forgotten his newly grown beard. Some other cause must be found for the other's attitude. It savored of shock, if not fear. If it were fear, then had he roused an emotion which might rebound upon himself In sharp reprisal. Death had been known to strike people stand ing where he stood: mysterious death of a species quite unrecognizable. What warranty had he that it would not strike him, and now? None. Yet It was Brotherson who moved first. With a shrug of the shoulder plainly vis ible to the man opposite, tie turned away from the window' and without lowering the shade, began gathering up his papers for the night, and later banking up his stove with ashes.
