Kenning looked grave. "All!" he
said, as they sat down, "Do you re-
member the contents?"
"Clearly."
"To whom w. re they addressed?"
j "To Hendricks, in Washington. Can

"Papers and money," site replied,
immediately taking a packet from her
bosom and handing it to Kenning and
pulling a roll of bills from her satchel.
He placed both in a large envelope
and put it in an inner breast pocket.
"Is that Miss Laport?" she asked, re-

"I told you before," said Hendricks,
somewhat testily, "that the purpose
and expense were not part of your con-
sideration. What will it cost?"
"Well, sir, I suppose a rude but solid
bracket road can be built on one wall
for about six thousand dollars a mile."
"That's very nearly a hundred thou-
sand dollars for sixteen miles. Let us
say a hundred and fifty thousand. Can
we put up an electric engine if it is
got in here by piecemeal and make
the trucks and cars if the iron work is
supplied?"
"Unquestionably." replied Laport.
"Then the railroad question is set-
tled," f-aid Hendricks. "Now the light-
ing system. My idea is to run the fur-
nace chimney through the roof where
the crust is not over ten feet thick and
•carry it up at the end of the house we
an? to build over the entrance. Hut
you will see what our difficult}' is. We
want light to build the road, and until
the road is built we cannot get our
dynamo and engine into the cave, for
they must come in at the other end."
"I would suggest a temporary light-
ing arrangement," said Laport. "The
difficulty of delivering most of the ma-
terial at this end can be overcome."
"Yes, but the difficulty of transpor-
tation at this end cannot be overcome.
We have to haul our stuff' from the
nearest railroad and that is only a
poorly equipped branch. It is next to
impossible to pull the material over
the run until roads are made and we
have the water almost at our door in
the southwest."
"Nevertheless it is impossible to get
any heavy material through those pas-
Rages at present and it is not impossi-
ble to wheel here from the nearest
point until your road is completed."
44How long will it take to build the
road?"
Laport laughed. "It is a question
of supply of iron and number of work-
men."
"Very well, we have all winter. I
will furnish you with a gang of ilfty
men- If the road is done by next May
,1 shall be satisfied."
CHAPTER IX.
Eight months elapse. There is an
.office in Memphis whose sign reads:
"Charles Fenning, Real Estate. Office
of the Laran Sanatarium."
It has long been remarked that Mr.
Fenning's mails are enormous. He
.gets sometimes as many live hundred
•letters in a day. It is not known that
most if not all of these go to Laran.
Hut it is known to a few persons in
Memphis that he has a private wire to
one branch of the Laran establishment
and that he ships great quantities of
goods in boxes and carts and barrels.
The fact is, Mr. Charles Fenning is
(Hendricks* most confidential lieuten-
ant, and under the simple guise of real
-estate operations and an agency for
the furnishing of information about
the Laran sanatarium, stands as a
close connecting link between his hid-
den principal and the world with which
that principal is carrying on active
operations.
His business is so pressing that he
works late ait night in his office. He
lias two assistants; one is a messenger
and office runner; the other is a con-
fidential secretary, assistant and tel-
egraph operator. She is a very pretty
young lady and her name is Cornelia
Laport.
Fenning has three rooms on the
ground ffoor; one is a public office; an-
other isa smaller and private office; the
third room connecting with a side
.street is a shipping room and is well
(filled at this time with goods waiting
to be sent to the depot on the Wash
bayou.
One night in April, the door to Mr.
Fenning's public office was opened—a
woman stepped in quickly ami,shutting
lit after her. glided across the room in
the direction of the private office,
merely saying in a low tone: "Mr.Fen-
ning."
Mr. Fenning %vas sitting at his desk
and Miss Laport, not ten feet away,
was seated at another sorting a bundle
of letters.
Without a moment's hesitation Mr.
Fenning followed the woman into the
private office and closed the door.
They stood face to face and the wom-
an said immediately, with every imli
cation that she had been walking rap-
ttly:
•*I have been followed from New
York. I must get to the bayou to-
llfht"
Fenning showed no signs of alarm.
He offered her a chair. "Do you think
anyone saw you come in here? he
aaked.
"I think not, but I cannot be cer-
tain.**
"Pray be seated," said Fenning.
••You surprise me. Why should anyone
•aspect you?'*
••One or more of my letters have been
latercepted."
Can you trust hcrV
"Certainly. She is very grateful on
her father's account, but she is queer."
"Can you get her to change dresses
with me?"
44What do you want to do?"
"The quickest and safest thing.
Someone followed me to St. Louis.
When I took the boat I thought I had
dodged him. .Inst as I was about to
land I saw him through the cabin
window. I had telegraphed to the
hotel here for a room. I came to the
hotel in a hack. As I passed the main
entrance to reach the ladies' entrance
on the other street, I saw the man in
the vestibule of the office. He had got
there before me. He must have seen
my telegram."
"You should have stayed there and
| faced him," said Fenning. "It would
j have been absolutely impossible to
connect you with the operations at
Laran."
"You fonret." she replied, "J had
papers. I believe the Central < iliec in
New York has got the key to our
events, several things

the wing, but I noticed that the clerk
was examining me as if making a com-
parison of my appearance with a de-
scription in his mind. A hall buy was
sent up one flight to my room with me.
The office is two hundred feet away.
I told him I was tired and was going
immediately to bed. The moment he
left me I slipped down the stairs. It
was ten o'clock. There was one
chance in a hundred that the door of
the lady's entrance was not locked.
The hall boy had gone to the office to
rep< rt. There was no one in the
hall. The door had not been locked.
I went out softly. The side street was
deserted. There was one haekman at
the corner on his box waiting for some
one. but he was asleep. I heard him
snore. I took a roundabout course and
here 1 am."
1 am satisfied that you have made a
mistake in judgment," said Fenning.
If you are known as Mrs. Hendricks
or as being in communication with
all emotion. His little bead eyes were
sunken and black and wore a steady,
imperturbable stare. He was a
musular fellow with square broad
shoulders and significant bulges of
muscles on his anus, but he moved
without elasticity or celerity.
"Can I see you alone, Mr. Fenning?"
he asked, in a rasping but subdued
voice.
"Yes, sir," replied Mr. Fenning,
"stop right in lu re."
The moment they were seated in the
private office the man said: "Where is
Mrs. Hendricks?"
••I took her to a private house early
thismorning," replied 1 dining.
"Why did she leave the hotel?"
"Ilecause she was annoyed at your
insufferable impudence in dogging her
ull the way from New York."
The man was a little surprised at
this unexpected frankness, lie showed
it in his hesitation; his black e\es
stared a lily at Kenning, who had
leaned comfortably back in his chair
with t!..- evident purpose of a leisurely
conversation, but they betrayed a kind
of blank uncertainty
"She came from the bote', directly
here last night?"
She did," replied Kenning. "I ad-
mire her smartness in gt tting rid of a
nuisance."
"And you know when? she is?"
"Yes. sir, I do, but you must not ex-
pect me to point her out to you before
1 understand the object of your annoy-
ance. If you will give me one good
and sufficient reason why you should
follow her, I'll tell you where she is."
"I guess 1 know," said the other:
"she is on her way to Hendricks before ! hen
this."
"So, you're not an officer. Will you
be kind enough to tell me what you
are and what you want?"
"How do you know Km not an
officer?"
"because if you were, the woman
you are in search of couldn't get out
of this city w ithout your knowing it:
that is, if you understood your busi-
ness. There has no boat left for
up river since last night, and you
would have been at the trains as they
left. 1 don't pretend to know you, but
I notice you do not wear the red neck-
tie that you sported in New York."
The men looked each other in the
eves. Fenning was the most self-
possessed -the other the most stolid.
II is black eyes had a flicker in them
that might mean weak astonishment
or it might mean contempt.
"And 1 notice," lie said, "that you
don't wear the same hair and the same
clothes that you wore when we
boarded the Corinthian."
Fenning's self-possession was here
tested to the utmost. "I don't know
w hat you're talking about," he said.
"Were you one of the men that nibbed
the steamship Corinthian? and he
pushed his chair back a little with the
impulse of a sudden horror at such
close contact.
"Yes. you and I had a hand in it,
i but Hendricks got the swag."
Kenning regarded the man with un-
disguised astonishment "Did Mrs.
hand in it. too?"
>and to Hendricks to k<
of his burrow a secret."
"Then why don't you g
"Then write your lott
forward it."
44No. sir."
"Then what the devil do you want to
do? Hendricks may be in the east."
"No, he isn't. You sent him a mes
sage yesterday morning. This is what
it said: 'Two hundred rifles shipped
at St. Louis. Harrels and stocks in
different b<>xes.'"
Fenning was now amazed. He was
at a loss for a moment what course to
pursue. How could the man know all
that? Mrs. Hendricks had seen hiin
oil the boat coming from St. Louis at
the time the dispatch was sent.
He saw that it was expedient to
adopt a new course with his visitor
whose ferret eyes were watching him
unperturbed.
"Look here, my friend: we might as
well be frank with each other. As-
suming that you are not a monomaniac
and that all you say is true, Hendricks
would naturally accept your proposi-
tion if he had any sort of reason to be-
lieve that you would keep your word
on the payment of the money. Assum-
ing, I say, that you don't turn out to he
a crank, how can it all be arranged if it
is to Hendricks' interest to meet you?"
"He must come here."
"You are not reasonable. If he is
the man who robbed the steamship, he
has too much at stake to take that
risk. Why not go to him? I should
like to see the thing out. I'll go with
you. I'll wire him and ask him if he'll
meet you and have a talk."
Kenning was still more astonished
the same afternoon when the man re-
turned to hear him say: "That was a
risky piece of business sending that
woman oil* in a box. She was half
dead when they took her out under
that catalpa tree."
There w as no possible reply to make
to this. It was incomprehensible to
1 inning, and he had that kind of
misgiving that an inscrutable mystery
creates.
"I have received two dispatches
fr< m Hendricks. He says that I am to

terror.
Ten feet from his head was a sage
bush, with a mat of grass about its
roots. A monster rattlesnake had
crawled from this bush and curled it-
self up on the blankets directly beside
♦lie sergeant's left arm. There was not
more than an inch of space between the
serpent and arm. Man and serpent
both slept in the sunshine. It was a
couple of minutes before I could silent-
ly at tract the attention of the others,
but when that had been accomplished
we began crawling softly away. Quiet-
ly as we moved, the snake was alarmed
and reared its head and flashed its
tongue, but did not sound its rattles.
When we were thirty feet away we
counseled in whispers as to what we
should do. Let the big sergeant but
move hand or foot and the snake would
strike with the swiftness of lightning.

Nonsense." replied Kenning. "You

pected--acted suspiciously. He is
simply V'oping track of you. I'll wire
to Laran for instructions."
Fenning got up.
"You waste time," said the lady
putting her hand on his arm. "Under-
stand that everything depends at this
moment on my being able to reach
Laran. A hundred possibilities may
intervene before to-morrow. \ou

morning."
"Ship you? How?"
44With your goods."
Fenning considered a moment.
"1 understand you," he said. "It
may be possible."
"It is imperative," she replied.
"Tell Miss Laport that she must
change dresses with me and lend me
her veil. Take her home and leave
me here. 1 must go out at five o'clock

"Yes?" said Kenning, as if coaxing a .
crazy man to tell more.
"And you run the office in town.
That's where the woman is now—
. underground."
| This was an admission that he did
not know where the Laran cave was
' and Kenning was anxious to find out
just how much he did know.
"You are right," he said. "She is
safe by this time. I've got a tunnel
that runs from this office to the under-
ground place, but tell tne about the
steamship, i have forgotten exactly
j how we managed It."
"You're a steady one," said his
companion, "but it's no use—you was

Dick Austin, of
Piedmont, to the corridor man at the
Southern, "was in southwestern \ ir-
ginia. I was making speeches trying
to induce the people to vote for county
subscriptions to the capital stock of u
proposed railroad. My first speech
was at Crladcvillc, and I pictured the
grandeur of the scenery, the salubrity
of the climate, the fertility of the val-
leys and the immense deposits of iron
ai d coal in the mountains. I grew elo-
quent and referred to it as the treasury
of the world, needing only the key of
capital with which to unlock the
vaults and pour forth its millions for
the enrichment of mankind. I told
them that we wanted 110 subsidy or
donation, but only asked them to ex-
change* the bonds of the county for
those of the railroad company, in
which we ourselves had sufficient
confidence to place our own money
and that of our friends.
44We wanted them to go into partner-
ship with us. in order that we might
have their good-will and cooperation.
If our millions made money their hun-
dred thousand dollars would make
money. If we lost the county would
still be at 110 risk, for the increased
values would more than pay the bonds
at maturity. I sat down well pleased
with myself and the prospects for suc-
cess at the polls, w hen, to my surprise,
a long, lank, lean mountaineer, with-
out coat, vest or shoes, arose from a
front seat, and. depositing a quid of
tobacco on his chair for future refer-
ence, began:
44 'Now, youn's all knows me, an' I

ury of the world, an' 1 reckon he's

until we could only

Only twelve yards to creep, and yet
it seemed that the man would never
finish his journey. He must be doubly
careful. A noise which might not reach
the serpent's ear might arouse the sol-
dier. To have him touched before
w hispering in his ear would have been
to rouse him up. When 1 > Mai Ion finally
bent forward our excitement was so
great that we turned our faces away.
"Sergeant!" he whispered, after a soft
hiss—"sergeant, wake up!"
The sergeant moved his right hand
to show that he understood.
"There's a snake on your blanket!"
The hand moved again.
"I'm going to rest the gun on your
body and blow the life out of him! No
need of your jumping up after I fire,
because he'll be a dead snake!"
Once more the hand.
It seemed to take the man a long
minute to get his carbine in position.
When he finally pulled the trigger, the
snake was cut in two and blown a dis-
tance of ten feet, but for a couple of
minutes the eyes glittered, the tongue
darted in and out. and the fangs wore
stuck into the grass. The sergeant did
not move. We ran to him and uncov-
ered his face. His eyes were open, his
jaw down, and the sunburn 011 his face
had been replaced by the pallor of
death. We shook him by the hand and
congratulated him and sought to arouse
him. but he simply looked at usina won-
dering, stupid w ay and at the end of ten
minutes sank down and began weep-
in_r. An hour later he told us that he
bad scented the snake and knew his
danger before w*e moved to aid him.
Krom that hour and day the big ser-
geant was as helpless as a child. They
sent him away 011 furlough, but he
came back a wreck and was discharged
from the service to die before spring.
He had defied death by shot and shell
and bullet and arrow a hundred times,
but when death came gliding out of
the grass and coiled up beside him to

Conn., who has given this subject a
great deal of study, was engaged as a
special agent to take charge of the in-
vestigation, and he has produced a
series of charts that give the facts in
such a form that an ordinary house-
wife can grasp them and act accord-
ingly.
The tirst chart begins with meat,
like beef, mutton, pork, codfish, etc..
and follows down to bread, milk, vege-
tables. sugar, etc. Colored spaces are
used to indicate the ingrodientsand t he
degree of nutrition ill each of these
kinds of food, so that a man, by study-
ing the chart and carrying in his mind
tin* meaning of the different colors, can
readily see the effect of the use of each
kind of food upon the human body.
I'or example, it is shown that round
steaks will produce the most strength:
thai the side loin hast lie most potential
energy, as it is called, because it con-
tains more fat, and fat produces ln at
and warms the body and gives the
most force. It shows, too. that of all
the cereals oatmeal gives the most
energy, although there isa prevailing
opinion that beans are superior in
this respect. The second chart shows
the pecuniary economy of food. 'I in*

obtained in the diff'
food is given, with twenty-live cents ;is
a standard. A list of the principal foo l
products with the price per pound i-1

given the amount t hat can be purchased
for twenty-five cents. In the third col
umn is the amount of tissue, muscle
and energy that is contained in twenty
five cents' worth of each article. Twon
ty-five cents' worth of round steak, for
example, will furnish more energy than
can be had in any other form. Salt
pork will produce more heat., however,
and is a good diet for a laboring man in
a cold climate. The chart shows that
twenty-five cents spent for oysters i*
the most profitable investment for food
strength. The same amount of money
spent in milk or eggs will give several
times as much nutrition. N. Y. Adver

"If there is anything in this world
that is more silly than another." said a
veteran, "it is the habit that some
v<ning women have of ilist ributing t heir
pictures among all their young-man ac-
quaintances. As a rule, one's photo-
graph -should never be given outside
one's immediate relatives. There are,
of course, exceptional cases, especially
when there is a young man in the
mind's eye, and a possible engagement
looms up; but even then, it is just ns
well to make the would-be lover wait
awhile. It does not hurt him a bit to
wait, and he will appreciate the
original all the more if he is lucky
enough to get her; if he is not. all the
same, it is much better that he never
had u picture at all.
There is a certain class of young men
who make a practice of putting up the
photographs of the young ladies of
their acquaintance in their rooms and
commenting on them with their asso
ciatcs. It would scarcely be flattering
to the girl whose picture forms part of
the group to know what many of those
remarks are. Of course, all men an
not guilty of such a breach of common
decency, but enough of them are so to
point the moral in the ease.

event, to have fewer pictures taken
