His shoes were caked with mud and his clothing dragged heavily. And he was both tired and sleepy. He moved as though in a dream. He was really not more than half awake. I And yet he was not aware of lhe| passage of a great amount of time when he passed in front of another thatched lodge, with the dark outlines | of a large house, lying back on the top | of a gentle hill. There was no soldier | at the gate here, and as he walked up | the winding path he could not dis- ! cover a single light in the great man- | sion. At least he could see nothing in the way of illumination until he got quite close, and then through a crevice in the tightly drawn shades of what apparently was one of the larger rooms he made out a tirv i e waiked close o {hé wiidow and found that the front veranda passed under it. So he mounted the steps and, stealing to the window, glued his aye to the crevice, Me could see a table, and around it WANTED AT ONCE WATCHES “The best cases made, solid gold, fitled cascs, silver.and nickle. § Movements featur- ing the best of the best mak- crs, both of America and im- ported.

The figures were, of course, indistinct, and although Holton could catch the sound of their voices, he could not make out what was being sald. As he crouched thus under the win- dow-ledge the front door opened, and a figure passed out and walled to one end of the long veranda. Here the man emitted a low whistle, which was uot answered. With a muttered excla- mation, the stranger retraced his steps, and, walking directly past Hol- ton in the other direction, leaned over the railing and whistled again. | Holton never afterward knew what possessed him, but he noticed that the g e man had left the front door slightly . > g ajar.
