Putnam's Sons All rights reserved.] | Mr. Mitchell lintl gouo to tlie slielf ami opened the box, and as she heard him rummaging through the miscellaneous lot of trash her anxiety had grown so that she had raised herself up In bod nod, forgetful of her blindness, was gazing toward him, while her words flowed fast and feverishly until lit last she was forced to stop because of another gusli of blood front her mouth. Mr. Mltchel had just found the papers when he heard her irrnnn n? aim sank bnck on the cot. One glance showed lilui that she was now In a. desperate condition, and, thrusting the packet iuto Ills brenRt pocket, he hastened to her assistance. At this opportune moment the door burst open, and Preacher Jim rushed In, followed by the doctor. "Is she alive?" cried Treacher Jim, rushing up and falling to his knees beside his mother. "My God, where does all that blood come from?" "She lias been doing very well until Just a moment ago," said Mr. Mitchel, "when this hemorrhage came on." Then, risiug, lie addressed the doctor. "She tells me, doctor, that she became suddenly blind and fell on the stairs. She tldhks she has injured herself Internally and stated that she had a flow of l?'ood from the mouth before her son and myself came in. I fear this Is a serious case." "I will examine and see," said the doctor. "But flrst we must stop this blood." He prepared some medicine, which lie poured Into the woman's mouth, nnd In a few minutes she was comparatively at ease again, the hemorrhage having been controlled. Then the doctor proceeded to make a thorough examination. "I nm afraid that a rib is broken," said be, "and that it Impiugcs on the luntr. or else that there Is a runtured \ vessel. My advice Is that she bo re?4noved to the hospital as soon as possible." rgjf "If you would prefer," said Mr. Mltchel, speaking to Preacher Jim, who watt now stnudlug by, ga/.iug at his mother, with Jaws tlrnily set and all the muscles of his body at a tension, "I wlU have your mother taken to my house, where no expense shall be spared In the endeavor to save her life. What do you say?" Preacher Jim made no reply, but the doctor said: "The hospital will be Infinitely the best place for her. If you chooso to paj* for her attendance, why, of course, ypu winy dQ so- Hut charity patients are treated with the same care and skill at our institution as are the wealthiest." "I am sure of It, dootor," said Mr. Mltchel courteously. "I was merely anxious to consult the son's wishes In the matter. What do you say, Jim?" Mr. Mltchel touched Preacher Jim on the arui befofre ho appeared to notice. Then he growled Otit: "What does U matter where she dies? She's dyiug. That Is plain enough. Do as you like, only make her com-forinbie. That is all that I ask." With these words he turned and went to the window, where he stood staring out uutll the ambulance had > l>ceu summoned aud the men were carry log tl?e woman down the steep stairway as tenderly as possible. As Mr. Mltchel was about to follow he turned and spoke to Preacher Jim. "Will you not come with us?" said he. ^ ?' "YW," he replied. Then, clutching Mr. M Rebel's sleeve, he detained him a moment. "You were horn under a luckj" star* Mr. Mltchel. You promised that my mother would he alive ou my return. I see now that she might have died through no fault of yours. Had It bsra so I think that one of my llts would have come u|>on me. and then?theu your life would have been the forfeit; that's nlL I am glad you were able to keep your promise, glad for your sake and my own."

I did [ not expect to see you." "You didn't expect to see me?" "No." "Why not? Didn't I give you my word I'd he here?" "You did, hut I supposed you had changed your mind since we parted."

That ain't his sort, hook here, Mr. Miteliel. We're talkin eross. Let nie Rive you my side of it straight, an then you Rive ine your'n. I meet you quite by chance on f'.ssex street this mornin, an you hails tin'. Yon admit that. You called mo over to you. I didn't intrude on you. Am 1 right V" "Yes." "flood. Now we'll reach it. You mentions to mo in the most businesslike way that you've Rot a job on an asks if I've got time to lend a hand, just as if time wasn't my stock in trade, as it were. Of course I admits that I've Rot time to burn. Y'ou says to me, says you. confidential like, 'Sam,' says you, 'there's a woman in that house across the way that 1 want watched.' Then I answered you. an 1 says, says I: 'I'm the best dog In the district. I'll watch anything an run it to earth.' Then you tell me it's worth a hundred if 1 carry out orders, an I make a mental note to myself that the money's as good as mine. You says to me, says you, 'Saui,' you says, 'there's a woman in that house, an she's likely to Change her address today. When she leaves, 1 want you to track her.' 'To the end of the earth,' says I. 'Very good,' says you. 'There's a cab around the corner. Take this card, an the driver will obey your orders. The woman Is likely to leave in a carriage, an I'll give you the signal to follow her. You find out where she moves to, nn you will earn the money nn my gratltude besides.' 'Itlght you are, mister,' says I. 'I'll be nt your house at S o'clock afi uear as I can manage, an I'll be ready for that hundrod.' Now, there you are. That's what passed between us, nn you could cross examine me all day, nn I'd stick to the story. How does It strike you?" "Your memory Is very accurate," replied Mr. Mitchel. "But when you agreed to outer my service you did not tell me that you were under the necessity of obeying the orders of others, or I would have engaged a different agent. That is what I mean by double dealing." "Come again, mister. I don't twig you yet. What orders do you menu?" "You need not play the innocent with me. I know what happened since you left me." "Oil, you do! You're a bird, you are! Did you soar up into the sky an keep nn eye ou yours truly?" "Come, no insolence, or I will kick you out into the street." "No offense meant, on my honor. I'm only curious ns to how you could know what happened after we parted. You didn't follow me, that's sure." "Your cab was stopped nt the Bowery by the driver of the carriage which you were following, nud he left his vehicle to speak to you. Y'ou recognized him ns a crook, nnd he Informed you that you were towglve up tracking him, which order you obeyed." "Well, ou my life, you're n wonder, an uo mistake! You've got that as straight as a die, all hut the last deal. IIow did you get on?" "That Is immaterial. What do you mean when you say that I am right, 'all but the last deal?' " "I mean, Mr. Mltchel, that I didn't obey that order. I didfl't drop the scent. That's what I mean." "Don't Imagine tlint you can trifle with me, my man. You cannot Invent a story which I will accept and pay money for. Bcforo you get that money you must earn It. It will not suffice to tell me nn address. I must go there and tlnd tbo. woman before I settle with you." "So that's the new deal, Is It? That wasn't on the cards this mornin. 1 was to give you the address tonight, an you was to hand over the long green. But now you've got a notion that you can't afford to trust Slippery Sam. You ain't wlllin to pay for the address?" . "Not after what has occurred. 1 must W tin woman Brat," NOTICE.

I .suppose?" "No. That is the best I will ?lo." "You're wrong, mister. You'll do better than that, a good deal hotter./ I've acted on the level with you. I've risked my neck to keep my word with you. 1 got word to drop the job, an I clictosed to go ahead. I made believe to go down town, an I doubled on my tracks an kept that carriage iti sight till I bow the woman get out. I dogged her to where slm is an where I can lay my hands on her nuy tuluute. That's what I done to keep my word, but now you say my word ain't good enough. All right. That's your prlvl lege, but It's n Jar ou my fecllu's, an when my fecUifs get hurt I'm a hard man to make terms with." "Oil, come to the point! I am tired ami wish to go to bed. What arc you driving at?" "Well, to put It In a few words an make U plain, you want to find the girl. Correct. I'll be here any time tomorrow you name, an I'll take you to her. IIow does that strike you?" "He here at 10 o'clock tomorrow and takp me to the woman, and I will hand you a crisp hundred dollar bill." "Not on your life, you won't. You'll pass over two crisp liundi'cds, or I'll drop the job." "Do you think j-uu can bunko me, you fool?" "It's not bunko, an I'm no fool neither. You made the otter, an I carried oil? the agreement, but now you've backed down. That ends the <lrst transaction. Now it's my turn to make the terms. I've got Information thai you want.

Sllpiwry Sam spoke so earnestly that his words carried conviction to Mr. Mltchel's mind. lie saw now, when it was too late, that lie had made a mistake in mistrusting tlie fellow. Ilad be not done so he believed that the correct address of the woman would have beeu supplied to him. He decided to conciliate Slippery Sam if possible. "Look here, Sam," said lie. "I am sorry that 1 doubted you, and"? "Your sorrow don't weigh much, 1 reckon." "And 1 confess that 1 was wrong," continued Mr. Mltchel, ignoring the Interruption. "Hut you must admit that when I learned what 1 did from Preacher JJui I"? "Preacher Jim!" cried Slippery Sam, truly alarmed. "So he told you. did he? He's mixed tip In this? He sen out the order to head me off, did ho?" When Mr. Mltchel observed the effect that this name had upon the man. he bit his lip with vexation at the slip which lie had made and hastened to repair, if possible, the damage which had been done. "No, no!" he said. "Preacher Jim merely happened to be at the rooms of your society when the driver was sent out and by the merest accident knew about it " "I don't swallow tliat too quick," repiled Slippery Sam. "Let mc explain the whole matter to you. This woman Is supposed to be secretly married to a wealthy young man up town. It has just been discovered, nnd he hastened to remove her from the house, in order that her Identity might not be known. It was he who sent the carriage to take her away. I suspected that he would make this move, and that Is why I was there. Do you comprehend?" "Then this fellow is a crook? Otherwise he would not go to our place for help." "I am not sure about that, but It was life mau who went, nud Treacher Jim admitted that this servant Is a crook." "What Is his name?" "I do not know." "You don't know, an you're workin on the Job? That's odd." It was evident that Sam's suspicious were aroused. "Well, then, what's the name of he main guy?" "The what?" "The chief, the master, the rich young sprig up town." Mr. Mltchel concluded that clrcum locution would be useless, so replied frankly: "His name is Matthew Mora." The effect ni?on Slippery Sam was electrical. He started back and supported himself against the wall to save himself from failing. "Not young Mora, the son of?of? of the old man who was mur?that Is to say, killed?" he stammered. "The same," replied Mr. Mlteliel, regarding the man closely, astonished at the effect which he had produced. "An the woman?the woman you made me follow?what was?what was her nnmc?" "Morn went by the name Morton In the Kssex street bouse. So did this woman." "Morton! Morton!" repented Slippery Sam in a dnsed way. "An I was fool enough to follow her?against orders too. Here, 1 throw up the Job. Keep your money. Let me out of here! Let mo out, quick!" But Mr. Mitotic! stood between the man and the door and rejoined: "One more question first." "Wall, what If U? .

Mother's Friend is never taken internally. Internal remedies at this time do more harm than good. If a woman is supplied with this splendid liniment she need never fear rising or swelling breasts, morning sickness, cr any of the discomforis which usually accompany pregnancy.
