When the thought came to him, however, he re joiced. The new plan whs lo sow the Bceda of apprehension with lroom llunseiuer wimld hot be long In reap ing their harvest -of dismay.

"Confound thla detective buslnnv anyhow," he might have been beard to remark. Three nights later, however, he took Itoeie to the play, and on the fourth night be waa Drooin' guest aguln In tbe rooms acros tha liver. He waa well prepared to begin the campaign of Insinuation wblcb waa to affect Hnnaeuier In tbe end. Bitting stiff and uncomfortable ,ln the dingy living room overlooking Wells street, he watebed with nwe tbe master of the place at work on tho flhhdiln; touchea of a new "Invention," the uses of which he did not offer to explain. He was without a coat, and bla shirt aleevea were rolled far olmve the el liowa, displaying long, alnewy urms. hairy and not unlike those of tbr oruug outang Eddie had Been lu Lin coln park.

I'm not what you call a tndlea' man," grinned Kilns, pulling ut bla plpo aa he picked up tho volume ou Napoleon. Kddle laughed politely, but uncomfortably. "How old are you. Mr. Drooin?" "I'm as old as Methuselah." "Aw, go way!'' "When he was a boy," laughed Kilns, ! enjoying his quip Immensely. "Mlaa ! Cnhlo seems to be very fond of liray i don.

"What mlBtake? What do you oi?" "It would have been u rich Joke ou Mr. Hansemer. Seems that some law yer Is likely to be ch.1rged"wlth black mail, and they got Mr. liaii-nier's name mixed up In It some way. Of course nothing came of It.' but I Just wondered If unybody had told blm of the close call he'd bad." Droom stared straight beyond the young liar and was Blleut for a full minute. Then be deliberately opened the book on his knee and began to turn the pages. "That would have been a Joke on Mr. Hansemer," be aald Indifferently, "I don't think be would bave enjoyed It, do you?" "No one enjoy Jokes from tbe Unit ed Btate marshal office," aald Droom grimly. "By the way, who la tbe law yer that really waa wanted?" "I never beard. 1 believe It was dropped. Tbe young fellow I know aid be couldn't talk about it o I didn't ask.' Bay, who waa that swell woman I saw coming out of your office this afternoon? I was up at Mr. Horn brook'B." Droom hesitated a moment He seem ed to l carefully weighing everything he said. "I suspect It was young Banseincr's future mother-in-law," be said. "Mrs. David Cable was there this afternoon iilniut 3." "Gee!" luugbed Eddie. "Does she need a lawyer?" "Mr. HitiiBcmer' transacted buBlnes for her some time ago, A very small mutter, If I remember correctly. Here, listen to this. Now, hero's a little Inci dent I found this evening that Interests me Immensely. It proves to my mind one of two points I hold In regard to Marshal Ney. Listen." And be read ut leugth from bis bod, a dry sepulchral muuotoue that grated on tbe ear until U liecauie almost unendurable. The little clock ou tbe mantelpiece clanged 10 before they bald aside Na poleon and begnu to talk about some thing that Interested Kddlo Deever fur mors than all else KUu Droom him self and ucb of hi experiences ai be cared to relate The old man told stories about the dark aides of New York life, tale ot murder, thievery, rascality Ugb and low, and be told them with btoodcurdiiug directness the Walker wife murder, the Inside facts of tbe De Hugh divorce scandal, tho Harvey family's skeleton all food for tbe dime novel producer. Kddle reveled In these recltula eveu while be abuddered at tho wuy In which the old man gave them. "Ah, this Is a wicked old world!" said Droom, relllllng his pipe uud allowing bis teeth a be puffed. "Thill's why I have those pictures of Ihe Ma donna on the wall to keep me from forgetting that there are beautiful things lu the world In spile of Its ugliness and hypocrisy. 1 haven't much" Ilo stopped short and listened In tently. The sounds ot footsteps on the stairs outside came to Ills ears. They clumped upward, putiBed for a moment dowu the little bull and then approached Droom'a doorway. Host and guest looked at the clock Instinc tively, Kddle heard Drooin's breath us It camo faster between puffs at blB plpo. Then there wus a resouudlug nip ut the panel of tho door. Kddle Denver never forgot the look that swept over tho old man's face the look of wonder, drend. desperation. It passed In nil Instant, and be urose un steadily, undecidedly, to admit thu lute culler. His long friimo Boomed to Shako like a rood as lie stood cautious ly Inside the bolted door and cullud out: "Who's there?" "Messenger." was the mullled re sponse. Droom hesitated a moment, looking nrst at Kddlo aud then toward the window. Slowly ho unbolted the door. A small A. D. T. boy stood be yond. "What Is It?" almost gasped Kilns Droom, quickly drawing the boy Into the room. "Mr. Drooin? No answer, air.' Sign liere." The boy, anow covered, drew a letter from his pocket and handed It to Droom. "Where from?" demanded the old clerk, tho paier rattling In his thlu linger. "I dou't know. I'm from Cblcngo avenue," said the boy, with proper Im pudence, lie took one look nt Drooin's face as tho man bunded the slip back to blm and then hurried d4 nstulrs. fur less Impudent at lieurt thau be hud leeu. Drooin reoogntiod the handwriting ou tho envelope as Jutm-n Htnuiemer's. It was the Mint tlmo his employer had communicated with hlui lu this man ner. He tore open the otivolo'vo and aiivlously read the brief missive. "I've got lo go lo the ollliv." he said, surprise still lingering In his face. "It's Important business a consulta tion with or with an Important east ern client." "Gee! It's lough to turu out Ibis kind of a night. I'm going your way, Mr. Drooin Come on. I'll lake tho ear down with .vou." "I - I won't he ready for some time yet." "Oh. well, I'll say good night then." Kddle loever departed, chuckling to himself as he made hi way to the I' building, determined to learn what he could of this unusual uuv tnons.
