At a touch and a gentle pull they slid open soundlessly, and the shadow passed through.

Darkness again, and a pause. Alert ears and sharp eyes raked the silence and darkness. Then the white light of the torch fell over the still spaces, and behind the torch stood the Pica- roon, ' y .

His shoulders were bent and he moved with a little limp. l-Ie wore a soft hat that had lost its shape and a suit of unbecoming and neutral hue that did not fit very well. There r:lth heavy shell rims over his eyes. He gave the impression of being mil:- mannered and soft spoken. His ap- pearance, if not his actions, suggested the lmpecunlous scholar or the 501p- box philosopher In this queer gtt», up with its complement of odd man- ners and mannerisms, Martin Dale would-scarcely have been recognized even by his friends.

With a unhurrled air he surveyed his surroundings in the light of the torch, noting the handsome rugs, the books the pictures, the chairs, among the latter the luxuriously upholstered one in which the Alexander Ferry- man had sat last nightgwhile Dale questioned hlm concerning Dr. Mo!- fett.

Last of all he turned his flashlight on a point in the hand-carved oak paneling that at a casual glance looked like a flaw in the otherwise- perfect finish. Martin Dale had no- ticed this little peculiarity last night. and peculiarities, whether large or small, always excited his curiosity. This curiosity was now about to be gratified by the Picaroon.

He stepped closer. The upper part of the walnscoting was a, border of skillfully carved oak leaves. At one point this border had s broken ap- pearance. It. might mean that the slow ravages of time and weather‘ had wraped the woodwork, or it might mean something entirely different. In any event, it appeared to have escaped Axelsons notice. or he would

a very private nature, perhaps? That had been his first thought upon no- ticing the irregularity.

But he had not expected to find anything like this. An even bolder

hope had electrified his fingers as he

inserted them into the hidden recess. It was exactly the kind of recess to which Dr. Moflett who with Axelsons connlvance appeared to make surrep- u-tlous use of the house, would con- fide papers of a secret and highly im- portant character. They would have been safer there than in a. place sub- ject to possible search-warrant and raid, not to mention the contrlvsnces of safe blowers.

The plcaroon's imagination had played extravagantly with the idea. If such were the case-if the flaw in the woodwork indicated a secret re- ceptacle for documents used by Doc- wl‘ Moifett in his wlckedenterpriscs -why might it not contain the very papers he had offered to sell to Mr. Castle for $100,000? What a stroke of luck it would have been! What a blow to Doctor Moffettl

But instead he had found this. Al- ready the Picarooffs first sense of elation was ‘yielding to a feeling of disappointment. This rope of pearls. exquisite and superb through it was. would not solve the problem pressing on Adele Castles young heart. Aside from its esthetlc merits, duly appre- ciated by the Plcaroon, its value was

Whatever the ex- act value of the pearls, it equaled or exceeded the price Doctor Moffett had demanded for the papers. with the pearls in his possession, the Pica- roon would be in a position to negotiate terms with the wily doc- ,tor.

He started to close the aperture. and then s doubt came. Suppose the pearls were not Doctor Morfettis: property? suppose they belonged to Mr. Ferrymsn, the pitiful mourner m the next house?

Not for the worlds would the Pics- qroon touch anything belonging to that gentleman. l-Ic stood in a quand- ary. but soon his doubt dissolved. The

Mr. Ferryman would not have con- cealed them in such a place. Moro- over, he would have been more likely to conceal them in the next house! where he lived and where he could, watch them closely. Besides. it was

en ornament of such great value. No, 1n all probability it belonged to Dr. Moffett, who in all likelihood had acquired it through some shady transaction.

It was ‘rather droll, thought the Picaroon as he reached out his hand to close the aperture. Dr. Modem’: silence would be purchased with his own rope of pearls. For the present the Piccroon did not think beyond that point, Somehow Adele Castle must be saved from leaping from the frying pan of blackmail into the fire of marriage to a sooundrel, but per- haps that difficulty would take cars of itself.

He laughed softly, and then, with great suddenness, jerked his hand away from the opening. With the swlftness of a, thought he darkened his flashlight, stood with his back to the wail, all his senses exploring the darkness. A signal of warning had come out of the stillness, but as usual the Plcaroorfs senses had acted in advance of his mind, As yet his brain could not grasp the elusive something that had gone like the faintest tremor through his ears. The room was utterly still. The Plcsroon thought of the polrlg in his pocket and the card he had dropped into the aperture. He edged back toward the opening. Perhaps he had been mistaken. The stillness on all sides had a reassuring quality. In any event. he had left way of retreat_open—the door in the rear and the window looking out upon the baciward, Besides, thcPicsroon had

I think the sweetest sound I ever listened to was the music of the rain pattering rhythmstically on the roof this morning.

I appreciate now the poet's graceful sentiment: ."‘I‘he poetry of earth ls never dead."-

Mr. Donald Mscleod of Wood Is- land has the contract for supplying lumber for the Wood Island break- water and has slrepdy drawn a large quantity to the required spot. The fishermen of Wood Island, it will be recalled, who were asked to appear before the Duncan Commission. pointed out the need of repairs to the breakwater for the accommodation of fishermen. The Duncan Commission thought well of the suggestion and embodied it in their famous Rlport. Well. I hear on sound suthorltythat the new work is not what the Com- mission recommended, but entirely differentand the repairs will be of no use to the fishermen whatever for the work is done in an entirely dif- fcrent place from what they want. Protests have been made, but made in vain. The fishermen crest loss in know what influence has been at work and whstdn the world will be the good of the work when done. Ship.- ping. does. anyone suggest? There is no shipping and has bcednone for several years.
