Parks on the subject and al the locally available data ‘was furnished him by Rev. Kashevaroff.

Tom is in danger of immediate arrest, Marling tells him, as an accessory in the escape of a convict.” The parson also furtively mentions the ab- bey history, stolen from the Fotherburg' library on the day of Pell’s death, and voices veiled suggestions that Tom ‘should flee Woodcot. Marling departs, ap- parently without revealing the reason for his visit, but Tom is relieved when he learns that his mother has burned Cousin John’s clothing, marked with the tell- tale prison insignia. Somerfield, however, is alarmed by Tom’s account of Marling’s visit and urges him to destroy the evidence in the safe.

I hated to touch the thing. “Better take it upstairs,” said he pointing significantly through the | | window to the lawn beyond it. I carried the burden upstairs and dumped it on my bed. Somer- field looked at it curiously and pointed to some worn indentation letters engraved on the side of the bag, “P. L. “Original owner's initials,” sald Somerfield.

Naghel, director of the Federal Census in Alaska, left this morning on the steamer Alameda for Ketchikan on business connect- ed with the taking of the census there. He will also visit Petersburg |and Wrangell. Mr. Naghels chief purpose in visiting these towns is to name enumerators and make arrange- 'ments for the work which is sched- uled to begin about October 1.

M Of a sudden, Somerfield ‘seemed to be electrified. He leaped back from the window, cried, “Look out!” and dived into the ecormer of the room where I had an old full plate camera in a yellow case. “Watch 'em and tell me If they come in,” said Somerfield, tearing at the buckles of the camera-ease.

I had them in sight for two or three seconds. One was young Fotherbury. The lother I did not know. I kept an eye on the gate, while Somerfield in breathless haste got the camera out of the case, dropped it on the floor and piled the stuff into it. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Never mind.
