TRAPPED. “Two hundred pounds reward I Now, here’s your chance, Jimmy,” rapped ont my chief one morning. "Camdan Town—your own neighborhood. Tho police np there are making a confound ed mystery of it. It ought to be simple as clockwork. Ha, ha I Tweuty bales of rare silk, worth thousands, consigned all the way from Lyons to Jowetts, the big west cud drapers. Jewetts’ agent rushes off to the station to meet it and finds that some rogues havo got there one hour before him, presented forged credentials and driven off with the staff in a van in broad twilight. Now I Soon after midnight a constable noted jnst such a van as described suspicious ly rounding the corner of Windygate streot, Camden Town, and at that very minute, mark you, some one ran up and led him off with a bogus tale of mur der going on at the other end of his beat. When be got back, van gone and <11 beautifully quiet. “Here are two days gone and no de velopments. Jewetts, half mad because the kind of silk spoils in no time nnless kept very dry, have been here and offered £200 for immediate recovery. There yon arel Windygate street is a cul de sac, with about 50 or 60 bouses in it. The silk may bo stowed in any ono of them, aud all the local police havo done is to pnt nn extra man on watch at the open end on tho ohanc« that there will be an attempt to remove the bales. Off yon gol 1 give yon >4 hours. ” I hurried out with a confident smile. In loss than an hour I had got to Windy* gate street—a quiet double row of bouses cf a featureless three story type —aud was in time to see the “special” man exchanging chaff with a servant girl at tho opposite corner. He said something, and she tripped off. Anoth er stare, and then he passed me with a confidential whisper. “Thought I knew you, Mr. Girdle- stone. It’s all right—a bit of business. That’s tho girl at a house half way down. Knows nearly every one in the street and ready to talk all day. Oh, I’m careful, sir I We don't want ’em to take fright and destroy the silk. No, not a ghost of a clew so far, sir, except the van business. There’s tho ml by the curb where it turned, and then a much lighter cue where it was turned back, unloaded no doubt. Tbero’s been no rain since. Saucy 1 But, bless you, sir, it might bo douo every night. There’s not a soul stirring here after 11.” “Humph I Shift your point a dozen yards higher up, out of sight, and let me kuow anything that happens. There’ll be a rag and bottle man along here presently, yon understand.” I hurried home. It was barely a ten minutes’ walk. Half au hour lator I was leaving again by the back entrance, so dirty and disreputable that my own wife bad given a start. To hire a barrow and stack some rubbish on it was sim plicity itself. Within the hour I was wheeling it into Wiudygate street, shouting hoarsely a record price for rags and old bottles. At every area door I bad the impudence to knock aud reiter ate tho statement, aud at ono likely looking honse even contrived to trip over tho step, bring down some glass with an u merving crash aud sham a giddiness. No nse. It merely provoked the remark “Serve him right I” At the end of my arduous rouud I was only the richer by a barrow load of uuoousidered trifles. Until nearly dusk I huug about the place, aud then, with a few whis pered instructions to tho constable on watch, trudged back home to think out a more definite plan of action. It must have been about 8 o’clock when as I sat studying the Camden Town Directory the most curious, undreamed of coincidence occurred. The bell rung hesitatingly, a pause, and then my wife tapped to say that a young person ap parently in trouble, wished to see me upon private business. Next moment • young lady in widow’s weeds had float ed impressively into the room and was raising .her veil from a white, worried face. “Mr. Girdlestonc—the police inspect or?” she queried quickly in a voice as singularly sweet as her expression, and I Lowed. Her description was near enough for the nouoa. "Then, I hope you wuu't think me silly, but really I felt as if I could put up with it no longer. Oh, if my dear husband were only here I” A touching pause, broken by half a sob, then: “My name is Varney. I live at 0 Windygate street—if you know it, sir. It may sound strange, but I go in fear of something happening al most in fear of my lifel You know, When dear Harold died I bad to let the ground and first floor, to a man named Winston and bis wife. “They seemed strange from the first and kept all their doors locked. Then they began to have mysterious visitors long after dark, and my servant kepi waking me at night to say she could nnS sleep for the queer noises. I’m positlva there’s something wrong, and yet I daren’t say anything, for there are fira- afuiB^jbont*—the man deliberately shot my oat ope day because it looked at bis canary. But that’s not all. These last two days there has been a continual digging sound down in the basement, especially et night. I lie and quake. It sounds just us if they are burrowing under the sLeet—they might for all I know be mixed np with those dreadful nihilist people! Thero, I kuow there is a mystery behind 1“ That was it, poured ont in agitated breaths. I think it was fully a minute before I could turn my face and say steadily: “ludeed? And what made you corns to me, madam?'’ “To you? Oh, of course! Why, I gave them notice to go six weeks back, and they simply laughed. Since then they have not offered a farthing rent. I dread an upset of any kind. Several times I have thought of going tu the police fol advice, and always hesitated. But this evening my girl said there was a home ly constable at the corner. The Win stons happened to have gone ont. Bo I slipped on n.y things, ran up aud asked him if ho would mind comiug in to see what was going on and how I could gel au ejectmeut notice. Ho wrote this ad dress on a piece of paper aud told me to come straight to you, the inspector, ai you would see into it immediately. He said something about i\ search warrant, but bow could I”— “He did quite right, aud so did you!” I was at the door in two strides. Thi* whispered. “It took something to frighten that woman, sir!” And almost simultaneously—shall I ever forget it?—thero came a lull in the scurrying overhead, and then a voice, thick with nervous laughter, jnst out side that door: "Er—mind tho coals!” It was Mrs. Varney’s voice. The hall door banged, there was tho sound of a enrt rumbling away, and then—uttor, significant silence. “Great heavens I” I could just gasp out. For how long wo stood staring at caoh other, taking in the fall realiza tion, I should not like to say. Trap? Yes, indeed! Th*t sweet young “wid ow" was one of the gang—perhaps Mrs. Winston herself. Possibly by ac cident, more probably through the serv ant’s canning chatter with tho consta ble, they had discovered that Detective Girdlcstoue was on their heels and had concocted this grotesquely simple trick to inveigle the pair of us into the house while they removed the plunder to a place of safety. It was their one chance —aud we had played clean into their bauds. Maddening? Not the word! That it should have succeeded so merited a far stronger expression—and doubtless would gut it. I flow to tho coal shoot. Still immovable. Before the discovery of Ono Minute Cough Cure, ministers were greatly disturbed by coughing congregations. No excuse for it now.

No qnoer accident, brought about so sim ply, showed tho way as clear as day light. 1 bad stumbled npon tbo nest and should have the silk within a few hours. I would wait for no soarob warrant, nor to ask further details. “This way, mad am. You say they havo gone out; then I’ll come back with you. Id any case you cau admit me as a friend.” “Ye-cs. ” She had a hand to her fore head. “But—but I'm sure they are des perate people! Anything rather than a disturbance or that tho neighbors should talk.” “Leave that to mo. Er—Katie!” 1 called over the banisters. “Don’t sit up, iu case I’m late.” Wo went out. A moment later w« were hurrying toward Wiudygate street aud—what? I looked rouud for our constable. He stepped out from the shadow opposite No. 0. “Haven't seen any one go fn, sir," he whispered. “The lady asked mo to wait near, in case of anything. I think we’vcgot ’em easily. I tumbled at one*. No, I’m not relieved for two hours yet, lir." “Come inside with us, then.” Upthe steps we went. Tho servant girl, very pale, was standing in the hall. Togethel we all stood listening. Not a sound from below. Nothiug mure lucky could bava happened. “Now, keep cool, madam,” I said, “and we’ll havo a look ronnd down stairs. The girl can watch here by Jove! yes, every door is locked!” I palled out my buuch of keys to try them. Wo were standing iu thepassags below, the candlestick shaking in Mra Varney’s hand. It was rather an excit ing moment. "None of mine flt, I know,” she breathed nervoasiy. "But do make baste, sir—couldn't they imprison us for doing this? There, that key looks exactly like the breakfast parlor one— this door; let me try it, sir. No, it doesn’t qaite turn. Oh, and there’s the door of the big cellar, where we keep hearing the digging aud knocking noises!” I had forgotten that. Flinging open tbo door, I peered down into tbo black ness. “Hand mo that lamp—we’ll soon know,’’I said, and the oonstablo fol lowed mo down tho wooden steps. At the foot tho ceiling was so low wo bad to stoop. “Quick, we might find the bales here!” I whispered to him. "Mind the coals 1” came madam’s shaky voice down. “Oh, be quick I Th« cellar runs out under the street. It Bounded as if they—Mercy, it’s the Winstons come back! Out with the light, sir—don’t move, for heaven’s sakel” We were half way across the damp, black space. Her voice merged into a half scream so thrilliugly, that on the spur of the moment I blew the caudle out and gripped the constable’s arm. A mere nothing became tragedy of a sod den. There was the soond of a door slammed to, and then heavy footsteps and deep voices in the passage overhead. It had happened so swiftly and unex pectedly that we stood holding our breath down there most foolishly. More banging and bumping and talk over head-then a comparative silence, bro ken by the constable’s uncomfortable laugh. “Well, I never I What’s our next move, sir? They’ve canght her spying, and there’s more than one to tackle. Awkward I” “Pooh!”—I stopped there, becanee it suddenly struck me that his word was unpleasantly apt. We had no search warrant—and there might be a mistake, after all. Besides, to discloie ourselves might mean a bad half hour for Mra Varney—if not for ua We stood listen ing. The cellar door had evidently been closed, as no light came down, and the sounds were maflled. Finally I con cluded that the best thing iu the cir cumstances ijvould he to find some in criminating evidence, if possible, aud get away without being seen—if possi ble, again. I felt for my matchbox and relit the candle. “Find out something while we're about it,” I said, and wt completed our circuit of tha damp walk' There were no signs of any excavations whatever, that we could discover. “Queer I What about tbs Joor?” I went cautiously back to the steps, nnd pushed. It gave me quite a little thrill to And the door immovable. Either some one held it or a heavy weight bad been placed against it I tiptoed back. The oonstablo looked rather pale iu the candlelight. “Queer’sthe word, sir!” be whisper ed. “I dou’thalf like it. I just thought of the coal shoot, aud there’s some thing on it—the plate won’t shift They know we’re down here, mark my —’sh! That’s a cart stopping ontside! Mr. Girdlestone, they’re clearing offl” Beyond a doubt! Heavy footsteps were passing along the passage and out on to the pavement. For a time we stood, iu a sort of sfupefuctiou. Thun, in n spasm of rage, I made n dash at that door, determined to chance any thing. Useless—it resisted our united strain. Clearly wo were pushing against some weighty object. Wo pound ed and shouted, but to no purpose. Wo were caught in a maddening trap and had only ourselves to blame. But—tho mortification of it I “Let them go!” I panted, at last “We must havo them sooner or later— she’ll come down nnd let us out the moment they turn their backs." ‘.‘Unless thoy'vo dona fu^ bej;!” he "Your truncheon!” I gasped. “You haven’t one? Up with some of this coal. Aim high, aud splinter that door. I’ll havo them yet!’’ Bang, crash 1 sounded through tho house. Tho top hinge gave—a panel shattered. In two minutes we were clambering across a heavy wringing machine that had been wedged between the dcor aud a projection of the wall. A pause for breath, and then a hasty search of the house. Five minutes suf ficed to prove how incredibly we had been fooled. Tho place was, save for one or two rooms, practically destitute of furniture—clearly enough, it had been rented more for nefarious than for domestic purposes. Signs of the silk there were none. Now we were out at tho door, all but coming to grief again over a stone slab placed across the coal shoot. Ten minutes later wo panted into the police station and bad sent all tho available men, with descriptions of the young “widow,” flying over Cam den Town. Then I started back for homo. I would get rid of tho grime nnd coal dust, and then take a cab straight to Scotland Yard. I got to the door and pulled out my keys. My keys! They were not mine— with a gasp I stood und realized that that clever creature, asking to try them, had banded me back her own bunch in exchange. Why, wbat— Twice I knocked loudly before the door opened and showed mo my wife’s face as white as a sheet. “You, Jimmy? Oh, thank heaven 1 We haven't dared to movol” “W-what do you moan?” in the merest whisper. “Oh, we’ve bad such a score, Jane and I! Wt were ■ittlug in the kitohen, not half as hoar ago. and we thought wa heard some one moving abont up here—creeping np and down the stairs. I suroamad oat something, and Jane says she heard this door click. We couldn't stir band or foot till I heard you knock! I know it oooldn’t be yon.” “You knew I" With a groan, I strode into tho parlor. I knew wbat I should find. My handsome bronze timepiece, my choice vases and a score ol other small valuables—all gone. Up stairs I sprang like a madman. On the bedroom table had lain my presentation gold watch and chain, that I wonld not have lost for a fortune. One look—and I staggered back, fairly crushed. Gone I A during double stroke of villainy. They had walked in with my own key while I was fooling at the station. And as if this second humiliating blow was not enough to permanently kill any man’s good opinion of himself, on the looking glass frame was pinned a scrap of paper, bearing this master stroke of irony: “Mind tha coals!” That was o year ago, and Messrs. Jowetts, the big drapers, still mourn tho loss of their rich consignment of silk. They seem likely to go on monrn- ing And I—well, my deepest ambition is to oome face to face for just one mo ment with that sweet young woman who went by the name of Varney. 1 may not—and I may.—London Tit-Bito.
