It was no more than natural for him to have thoughtlessly designated the proper point of the compass. I advanced cautiously, finding the nnrrow sidewalk one of hoards. In vety bad condition. It was only when I attained the end of this row of houses, and came to the entrance of a narrow, dark alley, that I found the slightest i proof that 1 was, by good fortune, upon the right trail. It was above this opening that the Incandescent bulb flickered dimly, yet, In spite of wind and rain, gave me glimpse of the mud underfoot. The two must have been the only ones passing that way since the drlazle began, for their footprints were yet visible In the s<jft mud of the crossing as thcv advanced beyond the safety of the bonrd walk. Ry bending low. and keeping my own shadow out of the way. I was nble to trace their progress for two or three yards quite easily, and then, to my surprise, the footprints tuflned abryptly to the left, and disappeared entirely. To all appearances the two had proceeded down the alley. Rlack, uninviting, as that gloomy passage appeared, tliey must have turned Into it nnd groped their way forward. Where? For What nnrnnse?

Odd as It may seem, her pred'enhient yhdded me a reckless desire to hnve an immediate hand In the game. T found two Imprints of her narrow shoo In the mini after the turn hnd heen trade. then nil trace vanished. 1 crept forward, enveloped In gU.oin. keeping ns closely ns possible In the high honrd fence nt ihe left. The wny was roupli underfoot,, and my progress eoiifwrtiUently . SlCW, being onrlmn to make ns little noise as possible. The passage was si* black, I lost nil knowledge ns to how far I had gone, and was only aroused to my position by finally coming up against n pile of lumber which completely blocked the further end of the nlley. I recalled dimly that the pnssnge Rwerved here, running along the side of the Alva factory, until It reached Onns street. Then the place I sought was to my left, l>ehlnd the nrotectlon of this high fence, along which I hnd heen bo cautiously feeling my way. The silence was profound, stupefying, uncanny. Against the lighter lead of the upper sky I was barely able to trace the upper story of the building, but It was all black, a gloomy, deserted hole. Any faith I might have had that the two I had attempted to follow had come there vanished as I strnlned my e.ver "or some gleam of light, or any rthrr sign to denote their presence within. 1 still believed they had turned down the alley, but this waa not their goal; beyond doubt they had entered some gate along the way, and thus escqped me entirely, I hardly know what Impelled me to grope my way hack along the fence, blindly feeling for a gate. Curiosity, no doubt, and a lingering desire to make certain of what was inside the barrier. The entrance was easily found, a mere wooden door, held by an Iron clasp, which opened InKtantly to my touch. I stepped Inside, closing It quietly behind me, and stared uneasily about through the enshrouding blackness. My eyes, grown accustomed to the gloom, made out dim outlines, encouraging further exploration. Discovering ample space, and what felt to my feet like a walk, I turned the corner In search. At that moment the gate latch clicked sharply, and 1 sank down Into the black ground shadow, everv nerve tingling with alarm. The gate operated almost noiselessly, yet my strained ears could detect Its stealthy movement. and hear the crunch of a heavy footstep on the cinder path within. The fellow evidently knew his way even hi that darkness, for there was no hesitancy In his movements, no uncertainty. lie faded away along tjie rear wall, and 1 became aware that lie had turned about the further corner. That would naturally mean there was a door flare. 1 had evidently been searching the wrong side. Assured the man had vanished, and that lie sought entrance to the building through some passage well known to him, I crept forth along the end wall, crouched low In the shadow, using every precaution against dlaf*ArAr? All *? ?* * nini wn9 venturesome in me held high carnival nnd nothing of danger now could have held mo hack. I reached the corner around which the fellow had disappeared, but, In the Intense blackness, could perceive no movement beyond, no sign of any presence. 1 listened eagerly, scarcely venturing to breathe, and In another moment was rewarded by hearing the gentle tap of knuckles on wood a few feet away; there could be no doubt of the numiter?two raps, a pause, three | raps; the very signal mentioned In the letter. I waited, still breathless, uncertain what had occnrred, yet convinced the man ahead had been given entrance. " Unable longer to withstand the strain 1 took a atep forward Into the darkness.
