Mr. Andrew was a trial to the rest of the family when he came back, though he's toned down considerable, especially in his language. It was shocking to hear, Willlam!" “T shouldn't be surprised,” Miles observed. “Did he bring those fits back with him, too, from Australia?" “You mean what happened last Monday?"* Carter lowered his voice. “If you want to know my opinion from what I could get out of Edward 1 think Mr. Andrew was shamming, though the Lord ‘only knows why! Miles glanced sharply at the old man but his tone was casual as he re- marked: “He was:playing a trick on Ed- ward, maybe, but there was no fake about Mr. Roger's faint today.” “No, and as for Mr. Hobart, I'm glad he's given up the stock market tefore~—before he lost everything, though sometimes I've wished that the money never came in the first place! It was that made all three of them act queer long ago, and though I almost forgot about it in the years between, perhaps they've been' wrong in the head eveér since.” “How do you mean they acted queer when they came into their money?"* asked Miles. “1 remember when the news came and though they were excited it strick me then that not one of them seemed really happy about it or even surprised. Mr. Hobart seemed to think only of getting back at other folks for all the years of hardship they'd been through; getting rich by making other folks poor! It gave me the shivers to hear him. You would have thought that there was a death in the house!" continued Car- ter. “They didn’t talk to each other any more'n they had to, didn’t scarce- 1y look at each other and it seemed as though there was almost hatred be- tween them! Mr. Andrew had ugly fits of temper that he'd never showed before and other times Mr. Roger would break down and go all to pieces right out of a clear sky; only Mr. Hobart kept a level head on his shoulders and all at once T noticed that the hair at each side of his fore- head was turning gray—and him only 23! But quiet years came comfortable ones, and I this trouble now brought it all back to me.” the room Miss Drake e heard he was CHAPTER XIV. Like two housebreakers, Sergeant Miles and Scottie stole up the back stairs that night and halted before the door at the end of the hall. As he drew the skeleton keys from his pocket Miles indicated the traces of wax which still adhered to the lock, then whispered: “Andrew! He wanted to get in here mighty bad, didn’t he?"” Scottie nodded, not trusting himself to speak, and his companion oiled the Jock and keyhole carefully before set- ting to work. He made no noise but the minutes dragged out interminably while the other watched and listened for a possible interruption. The key clicked faintly in the lock and the door swung slowly inward. “Walt till 1 close the door,” Miles commanded; then as a tiny. light gleamed out: “Good! There's a bolt on the inside and we can’t be sur- prised. Andrew may come home at any time and I have a hunch that he'll try to finish then what he start- ed this afternoon.” “It looks as though he'd made a pretty thorough job of it if destruc- tion was ris object,” Scottie com- mented dryly as the rapler-like thrust of light played about the dence black- fi GIRLS!

Those note-hooks must contain the re- sult of years of study and classifica- tion and see how the pages are torn out and scattered about!" “Then It was writing that Andrew was after, and modern writing at that, for he's only thrown the parch- ments aside!” Scottie gathered up a handful of the loose sheets and ex- amined them critically. “But what was he looking for? That's what we've got to find out. What would Roger have written and carted all around the world with him that his brother would want badly enough to steal? Mr. Wells told me that the three brothers were devot- edly attached to each other, but T have seen small evidence of affection cn Andrew's part for any of them."” “Do you see all these old caskets of metal and carved bone?" Scottie was playing his torch over the an- cient relics which littered the floor. “Perhaps we can find one or two that hasn't been broken open.” It was long past midnight when they desisted at last and Miles re- marked with a shrug: “T guess we'd better give it up, old man. If there was anything here bearing on our problem Andrew must have made off with it, after all.” | Scottle suppressed a sneeze herofc- ally as the dust which still floated in the air assailed his nostrils, and replied in a strangled volce: “The mould of the ages is eating into my lungs and there's a musty, spicy reek from that mummy—" “The mummy!” Miles struck his hands together softly. *It's the one We're not beaten yet!"

Foot by foot they crept along the Hcottie's and then halted as though transfixed, for the volce of Miss Drake, trembling and charged with long pent-up ! emotion, came to the listener's ears, 1f we were the only ones concerned I would have kept this from you but it shall not be visited upon the next generation! 1 know the truth, Hobart!

Republican Forces, by Adopting Guer- rilla Warfare, Are Delaying Advance of Nationals Dublin, July 25, — (By Associated Press) —- Intense fighting is in pro- gress in the vicinity of Kilmallock, county Limerick, according to re. ports reaching Dublin today. The re- ports stated that the republican ir-| regulars were trying to delay the ad- vance of the national army troops, but, while a good many men are sald to be engaged in the fighting, nothing like a pitched battle is apparently possible The communications of the nation- al forces are reported to be suffering here and there from small but active bands of guerrilla fighters, who, by it easy to escape after cutting feld telegraph lines ond otherwise haras- sing the national troops. The latter, however, are reported to be continu- ing their advance, Additional large areas in the west of Treland have been occupied by the publican insurgents are retiring pre- report. Claremorris, county Mayo, is the latest town to be freed from the irregulars, who have now retired to Ballinrobe, on the border between Galway and Mayo. The liberated inhabitants of Clare- morris, overjoyed at the arrival of free state troops, continued their re- jolcing throughout the night, accord- ing to the report. A message from Thurles, Tipperary, filed late yesterday, said an attack by the irregulars was expected there last night, as they had declared their intention of taking the town, which hitherto has been held by the nation- al forces. Eamon De Valera accompanied the insurgents last Sunday to Tipperary rut, according to reports, left for Cashel, 12 miles distant, the next day. The strain of recent events is said to have left him pale and wan. The irregulars are said to have burned the military barracks at Cashel and Tipperary. BOY INVENTOR CURED.
