In consequence. Sweetwater sudden-
ly found himself quite well and one
evening, when he was sure that his
neighbor waa at home, he slid softly
Into his closet and laid his ear to the
opening he had made there. The re-

was pacing the floor, and talking soft-
ly to himself.
At first, the cadence and full mu-
sic of the tones conveyed nothing to
our far from literary detective. The
victim of bis secret machinations waa
expressing himself in words, words—
that was the point which counted
with him. But as he listened longer
and gradually took in the sense of
these words, his heart went down

warily as they did now.

But Brotherson did not drink. Set-

took up the book lying near, weighed
