The minute niiertures between the stitches of the fabric of the vnlauce ml lultted n certain amount of light, but permitted no peeping. The shadows Uwn this curtain, save for those sharp ly defined legs, were enigmatical and lutermlngled confusingly with the flor id patterning of the chintz. Itcueath the edge of the vnlauce n strip of car pot was visible, nud by cautiously de pressing his eye Mr. I.edbetter found that this strip broadened untllthewhole urea of the Moor enrce Into view. The carpet was n luxurious one, the room spacious and. to Judge by the casters and trimmings of the furniture, well equipped. What he should do he found It dllll cult to Imagine. To wait until this person had gone to bed aud then, when he seemed to bo sleeping, to creep to the door, unlock It and bolt headlong for that balcony seemed the only pos sible thing to do. Would It be possible to Jump from the balcony? The dan ger of It! When he thought of the chances against him, .Mr. I.edbetter tie-' spalrctl. lie was within an are of. thrusting forth his head beside the, gentleman's legs, coughing, If necessa ry, to attract his attention and then smiling, apologizing aud explaining his unfortunate Intrusion by a few well chosen sentences. Hut he found these sentences hard to choose. "No doubt, sir, my appearance Is peculiar." or. "I trust, sir, you will pardon my some what ambiguous appearance from be ucntb you," was about as much as he could get. Grave possibilities forced themselves on his attentlou. Suppose they did not believe liltti, what would they do to him? Would his unblemished high l character count for nothing? Technic ally he was n burglar beyond dlsputo. Following out this train of thought he was composing a lucid upologyfor "this technical crime 1 have committed" to be delivered before sentence In the dock when the stout gentleman got up and began walking about the room. He locked aud unlocked drawers, and .Mr. I.edbetter had a transient hope that he might ! undressing. Hut, uo! Me seated himself at the writing table ami began to write and then tear up documents, rresently the smell of turning cream laid paper mingled with the odor of cigars In Mr. I.edbetter's nostrils. "The position I had assumed," said Mr. I.edbclter, when lit- told me of these things, "was In many respects an 111 advised one. A transverse bar be neath the bed depressed my head uu duly and threw a disproportionate share of my weight upon iffy hands. After a time I experienced what Is call ed, 1 believe, a crick In the neck. The pressure of my hand on the coarsely stitched carpet speedily became pain ful. My knees, t.io. were painful, my trousers hojng drawn tightly over them At 'hat time I wore nil her higher collars than I do now- two and a half Inches In fact and 1 discovered, what I had not remarked before, that the edge of the one I wore was friljed slight!) under Hie chin Hut much worse In. in tln-si. tilings was nil Itching of my I'.iee.

After a time 1 had to de sist from this relief also, bcenuse happily in time I discovered that my facial contortions were shifting my glasses down my nose. Their fall would of course have exposed me, aud us It was they came to rest In an oblique position of by no means stable t-quillbtlttm. In addition I had a slight cold, and an intermittent desire to "Smvze or snllT caused me Incouven I lentc. In fact, quite apart from the ex treme anxiety of my position, my pliys leal discomfort became In a short time very considerable Indeed. Hut I had to stay there motionless nevertheless,'' After an Interminable time there be gun a chinking sound. This deepened Into a rhythm, chink, chink, chlnl; -2." chlnks-a rap on the writing table nud n grunt from the owner of the stout legs. It dawned upon Mr. I.edbetter that this chinking wns the chinking of gold, lie became Incredulously curious as It went ou. Ills curiosity grew. Al ready, If that was the case, this extraor til nary man must have counted some hundreds of pounds. At last Mr. Led better could resist It uo longer, and he began very cautiously to fold his arms and lower his head to the level of the floor In the hope of peeping uuder the valance. He moved his feet, nud oue made n slight scrnplng ou the floor Suddenly the chinking ceased. Mr I.edbetter became rigid. After awhile the chinking was resumed. Then It ceased agalu. and everything was still -except Mr. I.edbetter's heart. That organ seemed to hliu to be beating like h drum. The stillness continued. Mr. Led better's head was now ou the tloor, am) he could see the stout legs as far Up as the shins. They were quite still The feet were restlug on the toes aud drawn back, as It seemed, under the chair of the ownor. Kverythlug was quite still. Kverythlug continued still. A wild hope came to Mr. I.edbetter that the tinkuowu was In a tit or sud denly dead, with his head upon the writing table. The stillness continued. What nad happened? The desire to peep became Irresistible, Verr cautiously Mr. I.cd better shifted his hand forward, pro Jected a pioneer finger and begau to lift the valance Immediately next hU eye Nothing broke the stllluess. He saw now the stranger's knees, saw the bark of the writing table, and then he was starlug at the barrel of a heavy revolver pointed over the writing table at hl head C ome out of that, you scoundrel!" i ald the voice of the stout gentleman' In a toite of quiet concentration "Come out:' this side aud now.

"Oress ed like a parson," said the stout gentle man. "I'm dashed If It Isn't! A little chap too! ou scoundrel! What the devil possessed you to come here to night? What the devil possessed you to get miner my bed? He did not appear to require an an swer. but proceeded at once to several very objectionable remarks upon Mr. l.etlhetters personly appearance. lie was not a very big man. but he luckci strong 10 .mi-, i.ctincttcr: lie was as stout as his legs had promised. He hail rather delicately chiseled, siiial feat tiles, distributed over a consider able area of whitish face ami a numbe of chins, And the note of his vole had a sort of whispering undertone. "What the devil," I say, "possess! you to gel under my bed?" Mr. I.edbetter by an effort smiled wan, propitiatory smile, lie coughed "1 can t quite understand," lie sald- "Wliy! What on earth? It's soap No -you scoundrel. Don't you move that hand." "It's soap," said Mr. I.edbetter "From jour washstand. No doubt If "Dun'l talk," said the stout man.

"In a few minutes, If you" "Hnve you any mates, dash you? II you start any soapy palaver, I'll shoot Have you any mates?" "So." said Mr. I.edbetter. "I siipposu It's u IK" said the stout man "Hut you'll pay for It If It Is Why the devil didn't you tloor lue when 1 came up stairs? You won't H'l a chance to now, anyhow. Fancy getting uuder the bed! 1 reckon It .i fair cop, anyhow, so far ns you are considered." "I don't see how I could prove au ali bi." remarked Mr. I.edbetter, trying to tdmw by Ids conversation that he was mi educated man. There was a paust Mr. I.edbetter perceived that on a chair beside his captor was u large black bag on a heap of crumpled papers nud that theie were torn and burned pa pers ou Hie bible, and In front of these, end arranged methodically along the lilge, were rows aud rows of little yel low rouleaux, a hundred times more gold than Mr. I.edbetter had seen In all his life before. The light of two can dles In sliver candlesticks fell upon these. The pause continued. "It Is rather fatiguing holding up my hands like thN," said Mr. U-dbetter, with n deprecatory smile. "That's all right," said the fat man. "Hut what to do with yon I don't ex actly know." "1 know 1 1 1 position Is ambiguous." "Lord!" said the fat man. "Ambigu ous! iii1 goes about with his own " J'ou troumirrlj What the devil in$ewl you to tome hep; tunlyMr" soap and wears a thundering great clerical collar! You are a blooming burglar, you are. If ever thore was oue!" "To be strictly accurate"- said Mr. I.edbetter, aud suddenly his glasses slipped off and clattered against his vest buttons. The fat man changed countenance, a dash of savage resolution crossed his face, and something In the revolver clicked. He put his other hand to the weapon, and then ie looked at Mr. I.ed better, aud his eye went down to the dropped plncc nez. "Full cock now, anyhow," said the fut man after a pause, and his breath seemed to catch. "Hut I'll tell you, you've Oever been so uenr death be fore. Lord, I'm almost glud! If It hnilu't been that the revolver wasn't cocked, you'd be lying dead there now." Mr. I.edbetter said nothing, but he felt that the room was swnylng. "A miss Is as good as a mile. It's lucky for Isjth of us It wasn't. Lord," he blew noisily, "there's no need for you to go pnle green for a little thing like that!" I can ossure you, sir," said Mr. Led lettor. with an effort. "There's only cue thing to do. If 1 call In the police. I'm bust. A little game I've got on Is bust Thnt wou't do. If I tie you up and leave you agalu. the thing may be out tomorrow, Tomorrow's Kuuday. and Monday's pank holiday.

And, with numy elnborate pivcnu tlous and always pointing the pistol at Mr I.edbetter's head, the stout tiuin stood til ill up nud searched him for weapons "Why. you are n burglar!' he said. "You're a perfect atnnteur You haven't oon a pistol pocket In the back of your breeches No, you don't Shut up now!" So soon as this Issue was decided the idiort man made Mr. I.edbetter takeoff his coat and roll up his shirt sleeves and, with the revolver at one ear. pro ceed with the packing his appearance had Interrupted. From the short man point of view, thnt was evidently the only arrangement, for If he had packed he would time hud to put down his re volver. So thnt even the gold ou the table was handled by Mr I.edbetter. This nocturnal packing wns peculiar. The stout man's Idea was evidently to distribute the weight of the gold as tin ostentatiously as possible through Id luggage. It was by no menus an ii considerable weight. Theie wns.

Ho had n bill In his hand, nnd ho was determined to present It In person. The major looked a bit startled at sight or the creditor he had lieon dodging for seven months, but In a breath he pulled hlmsclr together, extended his hand and heartily ex claimed: "Hy George, but this Is n curious co incidence Indeed! Talk of mental te legraphy, but your face was before mo ns I struck the first stnlrl" "Mnjor Crofoot, I am here" "Yes, yes: you are hero about n llttlo bill, and 1 nin glad of It.

"After months and months of strug gling against adversity the tide turn ed," continued the major, "I was n pauper one day aud a millionaire tho next. I could pay $10,000 for $1. I remembered your little bill, but I had an object In uot rushing a check to pay It. My heart was soft and tender toward you. You had reposed conll dctue In me. nnd I wanted to reward you." The bill must be paid today, major, or I will sue for It." "And tho man who shows his confi dence In the tluaiiclal Integrity of .Ma jor Crofoot makes no mistake.
