I'm like to have my head cracked before I'm out of it “I'll make It two hundre 1, “and not a penny more.” You're on,” says he, “and now for a word about the chap's duds. What was he wearing when last you saw him?" I gave him a full account of Michel Grey and his clothes, and he went away. Twenty- four hours after I get a line from him: “Come up to the Rue de la Loire. I have found your man.” You may imagine that I didn’t lose much time In doing as he asked me. While ¥ couldn’t really believe that the thing was to end in the simple way his letter made out, none the less tho fact that we stood a good chance now of putting our hands on the $10,000 came home to me. “Blgg,” sald I, “you'll be set up for a twelvemonth, and he'll be off to New York to marry a Yankee—that is, if he doesn't close on that pretty bit of goods up at the Hotel de Lille. Was there ever such a town?" I found Jim sitting on a dirty bed dirty little houss near the boulevard end of the street he had named. He didn't look at all hopeful as I'd expected he would, and the cigar that he held in his hand had gone out “Well,” says he, “‘you got my letter?" “Why should I be here if I hadn't?” says 1 “Ah, true,” he went on; “and T may as well tell you at once—I believe your man's at_the Maison d'Or, up in Montmartre.” “How did you find that out?” I asked. “I traced him by his stick,” said he; “an orange wood cane, with a globe of silver and a little map of the world on top of it. Is that t?” “The same!" cried I. And he wore a hat of black felt, ond usual?” He did that. “Then he's at thé Malson d'Or, we're to get him out, God ¥nows. Why, what's the difficulty?" “I don't like the howse,” says he, siifting his eyes curiously. But what's the matter with it?" ‘‘Oh, there's nothing. tho matter with it except that a good mapy who go in it never come out agajn. I've no fancy for that my- sel?," : thing on, Jim?" and fitty,” said in a large and how says I, u haven't got a heart of a What nonsenss yofi're talking. Take up to the shop .1.\.1 l¢t me have a look abbit. m at i I was golng to suggest that,” says he “It'll be dark in an holir atid no one to tread on our heels, T know the woman who keeps the carabet at the back of the place and it was from the top of a shed4n her garden that I looked down into the lower rooms.” “Why not knock at_the’door at once and have done with it siys L. - It would be worth miorerthan youn life or mine to do that,” crled he: *'all the neighbor- hood knows it. There's not a man that would venture in."" “Then what makes you think this Grey is there?'” “‘He was two days at an opium den in the Rue d'Oran, which is not a stone's throw off and was last seen at the cabaret I speak of. He was then with the man who runs the Maison d'Or. Folks knew him from my de- scription of his hat and stick. I guessed at once that I should hear of him in a drug shop. That's what took me to the Rue d'Oran.” “You're friends with the woman who runs this beer shop, did you say?" “Tha best possible, though T wouldn't walk h her in the Bois—not for choice, least- wise.” “Then let's get up there at once. If Grey Is in the shop the closer eyo we keep on it the better.” He assented to this and we went off to- gether In a closed cab. It was then almost dusk, and threatening for a wet night. In fact we hadn’t got to the top of the Rue du Faubourg when the rain began to pelt down in earnest, the people scuttling into the cafes and the water flooding the gut- ters. When at last our rickety old cab began to lumber up the slopes to Montmartre, the lamps in the streets were dancing before a stiff west wind and the sky above us was black as ink. Where we'd got to I couldn't for the life of me tell, but by and by Jim stopped the driver before a third-rate drink- ing den and we emerged out in a dirty street, where the mud was almost up to our ankles. “This is the place,” sald he, while it rained so fast that the water began to run off his hat. ‘Jam your tile over your eyes and fol- low me. You will want a 20-franc plece to shut the old woman's mouth; after that it's easy.” He led the way into a bit of a bar where four or five shabby customers were drinking beer and talking to aomen who matched them down to the ankles. But we weren't there more than a moment, for after a word in French lingo to the ohap who served the drink we passed on to>a small parlor which overlooked a bit of a yard. Here a squat little woman, who didn’'t appear to bave washed her face for a fortnight, was In talk with a girl who had a,guitar in her hand a poor, bespangled, squalid looking wretch, who made her living, I don't doubt, by capering about before the scum in the bar. They left off when wg game In, and then Jim fell to parleying with the woman, and a fine noise they made of it “She thinks you're a nark,” said he to me in the middie of it, “give us the 20-franc plece and see if that will cool her.” I handed him over the money and they got to work again. This time the woman took it different, and when I'd whispered to him to promise her 20 francs more when we were through she left off talking of a sudden and led us down some dark stairs to a stinking Chiidren Cry fo) Pitcher’s Castoria.

Two minutes afier we were out the back yard and she had left us ' sald Jim, “we're the wanting her, though she's a woman when you take her right. The fact is, sho's just as crazy as the others about the house yonder and is half afraid of hav- ing anything to do with us. But she's lent me the steps, and that's all I care about.” houged a in better for wonderful It was raining cats and dogs now, and bit- | but we wers bLoth exc'ted by what ter cold, we'd come to do, and didn’t feet it more th'n the touch of a feather. For my part, I'd thought little of the danger up to that time, but when I stood out in that dark yard and looked up to the black sh:pe of a windowless and prisonlike house, I must say that I got a shiver through me. “Jim,” sald 1, “two's not many for a job like this. Did you bring your pistol?"" “I did 50, he whispered. “You don't find me going far without it in Paris. Will you &0 first, or shall 17 “You go," sald I, “'since you know the way. I'm on your heels—though what you're to see through that wall I'd like to learn.” here's a window on the lower cried he, “but keep your mouth tread light.” Saying this, he went up the steps, and I fol- lowed him. 1 have made it clear, I think, that the cabaret, or beer shop, or whatever you like to call it, stood back to back with the house we'd come to inquire about. There was only a yard and a high wall between stary, shut, and My nerves twitched like a woman' was not a whit better,' and Jim them, but at the end of this yard, and Jxmmed up against the wall was a shed for lumber, so buflt that when ycu set the steps on its Toof you could put your fingers on the top of the bricks above and baul yourself up. It didn’t take Jim and I a minute to do this, and once astride the wall, we had our fir:t v'ew of the Maison d’Or. I must say, and I always have sald, t there was something uncanny in the very loock of that house. Its heavy, blackened shape seemed to rise up like the shape of a dead house or a prison. Many of its lower windows were heavily barred with iron bars, The paved yard around it was recking with filth and rubbish. No sound, no light came out of it. It was just a great mass of brick- work looming up in the darkness, and 1 could understand easfly enough how all the wild tales about it had come to be told. Sitting there, astride on the wall, and peer ing at such casements as faced the back of the carabet, I should not have been a bit surprised if 1I'"d have seen some inhuman thing stalking in the yard below me. My heart was in my mouth—my nerves twitched like a woman's. And Jim was not a whit better. “Do you make anything whispered, after we'd been on ate or’ two. “The devil a bit,” said I. It ain't exactly a palace of varieties, is ntinued a bit later, “but Grey's In there right enough. It was through that mite of a window on.your left that I got a sight of the place last night. There was a light there then. I don't fancy we'll do zuch tonight.” of {t?” the he wall a said I, for T was right down scared, and that’s the fact of it. “‘Shall we try again tomorrow night?" says he, and I could see he was In a hurry to be off. ““We might as well, for all the good we're doing,” says I, and with that I turned to put my foot on the steps again. A moment later I saw a thing which fairly took my breath away. The window, which was dark, had sud- denly become light. A man with a lamp in his hand passed it, and, following him with quick steps, was no other than my master, Nicolas Steele. (Concluded Friday.) HE HAD TRAVEL “What place is this?” inquired a tourlst on the Overland a few minutes after the train had stopped at the cow. shed at Tenth and Mason streets, while he adjusted his eye glasses and looked around. “Omaha,” replied the Pullman conductor. “How long before we pull into the depot?” he next asked “‘We are there now; that is the station,” replied the conductor sadly as he pointed to the disreputable ship-lap and batten struc- ture that serves as a unfon depot. “It lan't much of a town, I guess,” re- marked the traveler. “What is the popula- tion 2" “'One hundred and fifty thousand,” replied the reprosentative of Mr. Pullman, “What's that? Look here, you can't string me. This isn’'t* my first trip from home. I've been through a few large cities in my time. One hundred and fifty thousand people and a shack like that? Well, I don’t think!" and he went back to his seat in the car and wept, —— In Your Blood is the cause of that tired, languid which afllicts you at this season, 1s impure and has become thin and poor.

On September 17 the supreme court con- venes at Lincoln. The judges, pursuant to the wishes of friends of the canal, who have asked to have the sult advanced on the docket and glven an early hearing, have agreed to listen to oral arguments upon the first day of the term.

While case have b Ballr'ge for the has already county and will a few days to the supreme no new law features of the n developed, Mr. Baldrige says the points are gone into much more fully than when the arguments were made last spring before the district judges. The briet of the county insists upon the right of county commissioners to control all county property, including canal properties. The canal law makes the five canal trustees eustodians of | this property, but the state contends that since the old law, giving the county board full power, was not repealed the new law must be unconstitutionai. The supreme judges have their attention likewise called to the fact that under the state constitution all of the district judges of the state are equal, but in the canal law a distinction is made in the report, In that the district judges in districts having counties with a bopulation of 125,000 or over have the power of appointing a board of trustees. This, it Is contended, is a_contradiction of the principle that all district judges shall be co-equal in power. The brief flled by attorneys representing D. C. Patterson and the intervening relators is a voluminous affair of 120 pages. Only law questions are submitted to the supreme court, the contentions of fact having been wholly eliminated. The defenders of the canal law take the position that the district Judges, when they appoint the trustees, are mercly acting in a ministerial capacity, much the same as when they solemnize marriages or administer oaths. The point is also made that the district court, in overruling the constitutionality of the' law, tried to sut stitute its judgment for that of the legislators It is expected that if the supreme court de- cides in favor of the canal promoters a m~n- damus will at once be issued, either directly from the supreme court or an order sent down to the Douglas county court, directing the county commissioners to call the elec- —_—— TY DAYS FOR IT.

Long before the Stephenson contract exe pired the labor unions were using all their influence to Induce the council to glve the day labor system a trial In cleaning the streets. The Board of Public Works favored the plan and it was apparent that such ace tion would be taken, to go into effect when Stephenson’s contract expired, July 1 1t was at this stage in the proceedings that Mr. Stephonson A weapon with which ho is now endeavoring to get back his remunerative contract. Some time before his contract expired, and before the public knew anything about the value of day labor as a street cleaning medium, Stephen- son had a brief petition written out on a typewriter. Armed with this, he visited the bankers and other business men whom he aumbered among his acquaintances. The pe- tition simply stated that the signers believed that the interests of the taxpayers cowld be best subserved by sweeping the streets under contract, and as this statement was not par- ticularly significant at that time, he had no difficulty in securing the signatures of about thirty of the best kuown business men ' ia the cit PUT IT IN COLD STORAGE, This accomplished, Stephenson quietly shoved the document into his pocket and waited for developments, On July 1 his con- tract expired and, as he b anticlvated, the system of streot cleaning was changed to day labor. Since then Stephenson has been quietly getting in his work on members of the council whom he considered friendly to lis interests, and a number of the members headed by Taylor and Kennard, have an< nounced themselves as in favor of a return to the contract system. But when it was rumored that such a scheme was on foot, the bor unions spoke out in meeting and de- ared that they would camp on the trall of every councilman who would vote for such a measure. Moreover, the records indicated that the day labor plan was saving more than $1,000 a month to the taxpayers, while the streets were kept in better condition than they were when Stephenson did the work with his machines. It was then pointed out that it would be a difficult matter to find & pretext which would induce a majority in the council to fall in with the scheme. But here Stephenson’s forethought came into play and e dug up the petition which he had ob- tained long ago, dated it August 27, and sent it in to the council Tuesday evening. It was referred to a committee and the members who favor the contract have a definite basis to work on and can show that their position is ndorsed by some of the heaviest property owners in the city, SIGNERS REPUDIATING IT. But now that Mr. Stephenson’s little scheme has developed itself, there is a disposition t0 kick over the traces on the part of many of the signers of the petition. John Rush was one of the signers, but he says he signed long before he knew anything about day labor, “Mr. Stephenson brought me the paper,” said he, “and asked me to do him a favor by signing it. I glanced over it and saw that it was signed by a number of the bankers, and so I added my name. Soon after that I had an opportunity to see what results were being attained by day Iabor, and I wrote a lotter to Street Com- missioner Kaspar, in which I stated that I had signed such a petition, but after having scen how well the day libor plan worked I was compelled to say that It was a great success," Tha Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods appeared on_the Stephenson of the members of the firm that he was in the sa Rush. “I signed the p ' he added, “at the personal solicitation of Mr. Steph- enson. I saw that the leading business men were well represented among the signers, and as Mr. Stephensén was well known to us, I added the name of our firm, simply as’ an accommodation. That occurred long before 1 knew anything about day labor, or the fact that Omaha laborers were to be employed in cleaning the streets. We are perfectly satisfied with the results of the day labor system.' A halt dozen more of the most prominent signers of the petition were Interviewed and they all told substantially the same story. They had signed the petition a couple of months ago at the solicitation of Mr. Stephenson, but since they had seen the economy of day labor they were In favor of it. One or two of the hankers refused to' say anything at all relative to the mat- ter, but not_one was found who was willing to say that he preferred the contract system to day labor.
