í HE WAS MISTAKEN FOR A SPY By H. M. EGBERT l< I Hi.

A week prevloua he bad come Into the aodlon, primarily apimluled by a roomiona rouinilaslon lo ascertain the pruapecj of founding a community bouse. |n addition tu thia, a newsps per had engaged him to write a aeries of articles on life lu lhe ghetto -like dlatrict. Durand bad rented tho suite of rooms over » cheap store, lie was on bls way horns, when suddenly n loud report startled him. A ball of large shot »iiowereil |is*t him. He ran to the ap<>t where he had seen tbe tlnah— tbe mouth of nti alley. No one was visible down lie dim length, hot near tbe street himself and the crowd quickly gathered found a aawed-off shotgun, abandoned hy the would-be smaaaln or excitement agitator, ua tbe cue might ba. "It la the vendktta!“ wax the sur­ mise of an aged man "Against whom?" It wag challenged. "Ah, that Is no—whom. Indeed 1“ muttered the old rnnn.

"It ahould lie attended to, nevertha- Iras," returnnl the other seriously. "I am something of a surgeon. Mr. Du- rand. My little home Is nearby—" “Why, you know me?" obaerved Du­ rand, wonderingly. "By name and eight— oh,- jea.' was answered with a friendly amile. "In a little community ilka i|ila every etranger In remarked. Durand began wrapping • hsndker- chief about hla hand. The young girl stepped forward to assist him. He knew not why, but lhe gentle touch of bar dainty finger*, the look of Intereat In ber clear blue eyes caused him to assent to tho reiterated Invitation of tho old man. evidently her fattier, to visit their home and have Ida slight injury attended to. It was a quaint little eottnge uTr back from lhe afreet t<> which Inirnnd waa led. There was a neat glass sign ou the door reading, "i'rof. Gabriel Dubourg. Teacher of I’lano aud Vio­ lin." The front room was neaily fur­ nished. There was an air of good last» and art all about the aiwiriinent. “In our humble way, my daughter Mila and myself are quite favorites of the praple about haee," remarked the musician. “We khow their ways. We feared that you—a stranger—" Hera the young girl cast a quick look upon her father, who. somewhat embarrassed, did not r-orftplefe the sen­ tence he had begun. Instead lie locked the room door nnd hastily drew a amall surgical case from a cabinet, bnt Durand «aid: “See. It Is a mere «urfura scratch nn my hand.“- "Yea. the abrasion Is not severe, but —we must look for poison." "I'olaon!" rrpenteil Durand, with a start, snd then lie nnderalood the In­ sinuation. Doubt lees the man who bad fired 'the gun had sought to kill an enemy. Cases were not rare where poisoned nilsallee had bran employed. Not for a moment had Dunmd suspect­ ed that the shot might have been meant for hlmaelf. Tbe profeaaor applied a Solution to the grazed member am) bound It with n thin covering of giiuze. Then they drifted Into n pleasant conversation and Durand learned that the musician and hla daughter were well poated In Italian dialect* nnd receive«! quite an Income fram writing »nd tramlatlng letters for thetf nelghlwirs As he thanked boat nnd hnntemi for their kind attention and aroae to go. the profes­ sor directed nn tinensy and np|>enllng look at hla «laughter. “There were ion» little piirchn««*» y«m npoxe of thia iifternoon." he ot>- gerved to l.ella. "She aould be con^ pany for you on your way, Mr. Du­ rand." Mila flushed, but put on her halt. Rhe accotnpanled Durand ns far as a wall-lighted principal thoroughfare and then hade him good night.

The pro­ fessor gave him much Information that fitted Into bls newspaper stories. Iwlla enthralled him with her totality and musical genlua. One afternoon hie stay lingered Into the hours alter dark. Again, as he aroae to leave the hospitable roof, Leila bad "aome pur­ chases to make.** As they neared Ills home a sudden enllghlaniuent flooded Durand's mind. "Mias Dubourg." he said, “ran It be possible that you go to all this trouble from fear that I may couie to haruif Leila hesitated, faltered. Then site said: “It la true. My futher believes that ehot In the dark wan meant for you." “Oh, Impossible!" exclaimed Durand. "What could be the motive) I atn en­ tirely friendly to these people." "You have signed the name 'Bucci* to your uewapaper articles,’’ spoke Lalla. “Yes. I picked up the name some­ where and have used It." “You must change It." "And why?" Interrogated Durand In netonlahment. "My father and I know a great deal about our neighbors. It seems that a certain revolutionary set are suspect­ ing that you are a spy. Your hap­ hazard selection of that n«m de plume haa In tlielr minds connected y»u with a hated and hunted detective known as Zucel. Your life Is In danger." A tender glow overapresd the young man's face as ho realized tlie respect and Interest Iwila's worth conveyed. He left her promising to And some wsy of setting himself right with the com­ munity the next day. Durand noticed, as he approached the oij building where he tied leased living quartern, that the store below had moved from the premises that day. He attached no particular significance to thia. Ones upstairs be «at down to think, not of possible peril, but of Leila. Ruddenly there was a vivid flash of light, followed by a frightful detooa- tlon. The building rocked, every sash In the place was ahatlered. Springing to hie feet. Durand rushed to the window to see a shed structure In the next yard blown to stoma.

She was pale as death, her hands sera clasped In pain. Then, just aa he noticed that they were all blackened and burned, alie fainted In bls arms Those beautiful bends all seared and scored for hla dear sake—how be carraaed them, when she lay, smiling proudly, fondly, under the care of ber father. She had followed two suspicious- looking trailers of Durand after he had She had I left her that evening. reached the building Just as they had set a lighted bomb In the hallway that might have blown the house to atoms. She had rushed at the missile of de­ struction and flung It Into tho next lot. What bad come of It all was love, pure and lasting. What came after­ wards was the chime of merry wed­ ding bells The wild untamed revolu­ tionary element were made aware of the real truth, and Durand and Leila had no more ardent well-wishers Io the settlement.
