From here the sound of some one moving about came to him distinctly; he could see no light below, hut when he ran down to the turn of the stairs It became plain that there was a ve dim and flickering light In the library. He crept on farther down the staircase. His hands were cold and moist from his excitement, nnd his body was hot nnd trembling. Whoever It was that was moving about downstairs, even If he was not one who had a right to he there, at lenst felt secure from Interruption. He was going with heavy step from window to window; where he found a shade np, he pulled It down brusquely and with a violence which suggested great strength under a nervous strain; a shade, which had been pulled down, flew up, and the man damned It as though It had startled him; then, after an Instant, he pulled It down agnln. Alan crept still farther down and at last caught sight of him. He was a big, young-looking man, with broad shoulders and very evident vigor; Alan guessed his age at thlrty-flve; lie was handsome?he had a straight forehead over daring, deep-set eyes; his nose, lips nnd chin were powerfully formed; and he was expensively nnd very carefully dressed. The light by which Alan saw these things cnnio from a flat' little pocket searchlight that the man carried In one hand, which threw n little brilliant circle of light as he directed It; and now. as the light chanced to fall on his other hand?powerful nnd heavily muscled ?Alan recollected the look nnd sl?o of the finger prints on the chest of drawers upstairs. He did not doubt that this was the same man who had gone through the desk; but since he bod already rilled the desks, what did he want here now? As the man num-d out of sight, Alan crept on down as far as the door to the Horary; fhe man had gone on Into the rear room, nnd Alan went far enough Into the library so be could see him. He had pulled open one of the drawers In the big table In the rear room and with his light held so high as to show what was In It, he was tumbling over Its contents and examining tliem. He went through one after another of the drawers of the table.,,like (his; after examining them, he rose nnd kicked the last one shut disgustedly; he stood looking about the room qucs(lonlngly, then he stnrted toward the front room. He had, as yet, neither seen nor heard anything to nlnrin him, and as he went to the desk In the front room and peered iinpntlontly Into the drawers, he slammed them shut, one after another. He straightened and stared ahout. "P?n Ren ! D?n Ren !'' he e.1neulnted violently and returned to the rear room. Alan, again following him. found him on his knees In front of one of the drawers under the hookeases.

One suddenly caught his attention:' he liepnn rending it closely, then snapped It hack into the drawer. crammed the rest on top of it, ami went op ro the next of the files. II searched in this tnanner through half dorep drawers, plainly llndlnp notl? Inp at fill he wonted: he dragged souk of the hooks from I heir eases, tilt b? hind them and shoved hack seme of the hooks but dropped others on the floor and blasphemy hurst from him. The beam of light from tin* loreli i:i his hand swayed aside r.nd liaok and 1 fortli. Without warning. sinldenlj/ It caupht Alan as he stood in (he dark ! of the front room; ami as the din. white cirele of llphl pleanieil Into A' i nn's face, the man looked that way j and saw hint. The effect of this upon the man was so stranpe and so bewildering to Alan i that Alan could only stare at hlni. The hip man seemed to shrink into himself and to shrink hack and away from Alan. He roared out something In a bellow thick with fear and horror; he seemed to choke with terror, i There was nothing In his look akin to mere surprise or alarm at realizing that another was there and had been seeing and overhearing hlni. The light which he still gripped swayed back and forth and showed htm Alan again, and he raised his arm before his face as he recoiled. The consternation of the man was so complete that It checked Alan's nisi toward him ; he halted, then advanced silently and watchfully. As lie wen* forward, and the light shone upon his face again, the big man cried out honrsely: "D?n you, d?n you, with the hole above your eye! The bullet got you! And now you've got Bon! But you can't get me! Oo back to hell! You can't get me! I'll get you?I'll get you! You?can't Rave the Mlwaka !" He drew back hi* arm and with all his might hurled the flashlight at Alan. It missed and crashed somewhere behind him, but did not go out; the beam of light shot back and wavered and flickered over both of them as the torch rolled on the floor. Alan rushed forward and, thrusting through the dark, his hand struck the man's chest and seized his coat. The man caught at and seized Alan's arm; he seemed to feel of It and assure himself of Its renll'y. "Flesh! Flesh!" he roared In r?v lief; and his big arms grappled Alan. As they struggled, they stumbled and fell to the floor, the big man underneath. His hnnd shifted Its hold and caught Alan's throat; Alan got an nnn free and, with all bis force, struck the man's face. The man struck back? a heavy blow on the side of Alnn's head which dizzied him hut left him strength to strike again, and his knuckles reached the man's face once more, but he got another heavy blow in rcium, i ne mini iviis grappling no longer; ho swung Alan to one side nnd off of him, nnd rollod himself nwny. Ho sernmhlod to his foot nnd dashed out through the library, noro- s tho hnll, nnd into tlio service- mom.

He ran forward to the street and looked up nnd down, hut found It empty; then he rnn hark to the alley. At the end <ft. the alley, where It Intersected the cross street, the figure of the man running away appeared suddenly out of the shadows, then disappeared ; Alan, following an far *an the street, could see nothing more ef him; this street too was empty. 53Fe MMBHBHI ' * 39 * 3.1<?Fi?k Premier Trrad 310.35 IT 30 * 3 ^3?Non-Skid Fabric . 11.85 30 x 3 hi?Extra-Ply Ked-Top 17M ,1, 30 x 3H-8ix-Pl> Non-Skid ' * Clincher Cord . . 17.38 30 x S!$-8lx-Ply Non-Skid US Cord Strnlsht Side 13.88 31 x 4 ?Six-Ply Non-Skid WCord 37.00 33x4 -Non-Skid CoH. . 30.50 r 33x4??

He had smudged them on the pupsrs r.|>stalrs oi* else In feeling Ida way about the dark house, and nt oine lime he had touched his forehead and left the black mark. That ' had been the "bullet holt.** The i*es*. that the man had ??ld had been a reference to some name; Alan had no trouble to recollect the name, and, while he did not understand lfc. at all, It stirred him queerly?"the Mlwaka." What was that? The queer excitement, and questioning that the name brought, when he repented It to himself, wns not recollection; for he could not recall ever having heard the name before; but It was not com- . pletely strange to him. He could define the excitement It stirred only In that way.
