"I think you are very rude," 1 said at last "You fell over there and 1 thought you were killed. T1e nerf ous shock I experienced Ib Just as bad" as if you had gone all the way." He put down the hammer and came over to me without speaking. Then, when he was quite close, he said:. "I am very sorry if I startled you. 1 did not flatter myself that you would, be profoundly affected, la any event" "Oh. as to that." I said lightly, "It makes me ill for days If my car runs over a dog." He looked at me in si lence. "You are not going to get up on that parapet again?" "Mrs. Wilson," he said, without pay2 tng the slightest attention to my ques tion, "will you tell me what I hire doner "Done?" ...... "Or have not done? 1 have racked my brains stayed awake all of last n'ght At first I hoped it was Imper sonal, that, womanlike, you welp mere ly venting general dlsfavcyfon one particular individual. But -your hos tility is to me, personally." I raised my eyebrows, coldly inter rogative. "Perhaps," he went on, calmly "perhaps I was a fool here on the roof the night before last. If I said any thing that I should not, I ask tout pardon. If it ia not that, I think you ought to ask mine!" ; I was angry; enoiyjh then. ' "There can be " only one opinion ebout .your conduct," I retorted, warm ly. "It was worse than brutal. It it -was unspeakable. I hare no words tor it except that I loathe it and you." v He was very grim by this time. 1 iave beard you , say something like that before only I was not the un: fortunate in that case." "Oh!" I was Choking. "Under different circumstances I should be the last person to recall anything so personal. But the cir cumstances are unusual." He took a"n ingry step toward me. "Will you ell me what I have done? Or shall 1 go down and ask the others 7" "You wouldn't dare," I cried, "or I win tell tbem what you did J How .'ou waylaid me on those stairs there, nd forced your caresses, your kisses, on me! Oh, I could die with ihame ! " The silence that .followed was as unexpected as it was ominous. 1 knew he was staring at me, and I was rurious to find myself so erfcotional, so much more excited of the two. Final ly, I looked up. "You cannot deny it," I said, in a sort of anti-climax. "No." He was very quiet, very rim, quite composed. "No," he re peated, Judicially. "I do not deny it" " - He did not? He would not? Which? CHAPTER XIV. Almost, But Not Quite. Dal bad been acting strangely all day. Once, early in the evening, when I had doubled no trump, be led me. a club without apology, and later on, during his dummy, I saw him writing our names on the back of an envelope, and putting numbers after them. At my earliest .opportunity I went to Max. "There is something the matter with Dal.. Max," I volunteered. "He has been- acting strangely all day, and just bow he was' making out a list' names nd numbers." ... , "You're to blame tor that, kit'" Max said seriously. "You put washing soda instead of baking soda in those bis- - euits today, and he thinks he Is a team , laundry. Those Are laundry Msts he's making out He asked me. a little ywhile ago If I 'wanted, a do mestic finish. Yes, I had put washing soda In the biscuits. The book said soda, and how is one to know which Is meant? ,.. "I do not think you ancajeuated for a domestic finish,"! said, coldly, as I turned away, v'to 'any. case li dis claim any such responsibility. But there is something on Dai's mind." Max came after me. "Don't ' be cross, Kit : Y6u haven't Bald . 3rd to nw today, and you 'go ttro&Bd i istltnc with your chin up and two w-&Br-aiffle.wts with ths-snakss la.

Dal had gone into the reception room and closed the doors. And beAuse he had been act ing so strangely, and partly to escape from Max, whose eyes looked threat ening. I followed him. Just as I opened the door quietly and looked in, Dallas switched off the' lights, and I could hear him groping his way across the room. Then somebody not; Dal 6poke from the corner, cautiously. "Is that you, Mr. Brown, sir?" It was Flannigan. " lv everything here?", "All but - the .powder, sir. Don't step too close. They're spread ali over the place." "Have you - taken the curtains down?" , "Yes, ir." .- -" . "Matches?" " Y ' "Here, sir." "Light, one, will you, Flannigan? I want to Bee the time." The flare showed Dallas and Flan nigan bent over the timepiece. And it showed something else. The rug had -been turned back from the win dows which opened on the street, and the curtains had been removed.' On the bare hardwood floor Just beneath The Mercer Girls Kissed the windows, was an aray of pans of various sizes, dish-pans, cake tins, and a metal foot" tub.. The pans were raised from . the Vfloor on bricks, and seemed ' to be: full : of paper. " All the chairs and tables were pushed back against the' , wall,': and the bric-a-brac was stacked on the mantel. "Half an hour yet Dal said, clos ing his watch. "Plenty of time, and remember the signal, four short and two long." "Four short and two long all right sir." .. . 'And Flannigan. here's something fojryou, on account" -.Thank you, sir."' a : Dal turned to go out, tripped over the rug, said something, and passed me without an idea of my presence. A moment later Flannigan went out and I was left, huddled against the walL and alone. - It was puzzling enough. "Four long and two short!" "All but the powder!" Not that 1 believed for a moment what Max had said, and any how Flannigan was the sanest person I ever saw in my life. But it all seemed' a part of the mystery that had been hantring over us for several days. . I felt my way across the room and knelt by the pans. Yes, they were there, full of paper and mounted on bricks. It had not been a delusion. " And ,vthen 1 straightened on iny knees suddenly, for an , automobile passing under the window'had sounded four short honks jmd two long ones. The' "signal'was followed instantly, by a crash. The foot bath had fallen from . its supports, and lay, quivering and vibrating' with horrid noises at my feet The. next moment Mr. Harbi son had thrown open the door and leaped into the room. "Who's there?'' he demanded. Against the light I could see him reaching for bis hip pocket and the rest crowding up around him. "It's, only me," 1 quavered, "that Is, I. The dish pan upset - - "Dish , pan!" Bella said from back In the crowd. "Kit of course!" Jim forced; his way through then and turned on the lights. T have-no doubt I looked very strange, kneeling thele on the bare floor, with a row of pans mounted on bricks behind me, and ..the furniture all piled on Itself in a back corner." 7f- "Kit! What In the world Jim W gan, and stopped, He stared from jne to the pans, to the windows to i the bric-a-brac on the mantel and back to me. l L sat stonily silent Why should I explain? Whenever I got into a fool ish position, and tried to explain, and tell how It happened, and who was really to blame,; they always "brought H:' back to 'meVsomebow.

"Let me help you up." " '- " : "I am not hurt," 1 said, coldly. "and even if I were, It would be un necessary to trouble you." "I cannot help being troubled." he returned, just as evenly.. "You see. 'it makes me ill for days If my car runs over a dog. " Luckily, at that moment Dal came In.1 He pushed his way through the crowd without a word, shut oft the lights, crashed through, the pans and slammed the shutters close! Then he turned and addressed the rest . "Of all the lunatics!" he began, only there was more to ft than that "A fellow goes to all, kinds of trouble to put an end to this miserable situa tion, and -the -entire household turns out and . sets .to work to frustrate the whole scheme. You like to Btay here', don't you, like chickens in a coop? Where's Flannigan?" Nobody understood Dai's wrath then, but it seems he meant to arrange the plot himself, and when it was ripe, and the hour nearly come, he intend ed to wager that he could break the quarantine, and to take any odds he could get that he would free the en tire party in half an hour. As for the plan itself it was Idiotically simple; we were perfectly delighted when we heard it. It was so simple and yet so comprehensive. We didn't see how it could fail. Both the Mercer girls kissed Dal on the strength of it, and Anne was furious. Jim was so , much pleased, for some reason or other, and Dal and Anne Was Furious. Mr. Harbison looked thoughtful rather than merry. Aunt Sellna had gone to bed. The idea, of course, was to start an embryo fire just -inside the windows. in the pans, to feed it with the orange fire powder that is used on the Fourth of July, and when we had thrown open the windows and yelled "fire' and all the guards and reporters had rushed to the front of the house, to escape quietly by a rear door- from the basement kitchen, get into ma chines Dal had In waiting, and lose ourselves aa quickly as we could You can see how simple it was. Everyone ruphe madly for motor coats and veils, and Dal shuffled the numbers so the people going the same direction would have the same ma chine. We called to each other as we dressed about Marmaroneck or Lake wood or wherever we happened to have relatives. Everybody knew everybody else, and his friends. The Mercer girls were going to cruise un til the trouble "blew over, the Browns were going to "Pineburst and Jim was going to Africa to hunt if be could get out of the harbor. 'Only the Harbison- man seemed to have no plans; quite suddenly with the world so near again, the world of coun try houses and steam yachts and all the rest of it, he ceased to be one of us. r. , vi- i j ti stood back and watched the kaleido- scone of our roata and vp!1 h!f-nl. zically, -but with something in his ' faa that t hoH nnt k If he bad not been bo self-reliant and big, I would have said he was lonely, Not that he was pathetic in any sense of the word.

I In the noted poisoning case of I State vs. Holly, In which J. C. Holly is under sentence to be electrocuted, the new trial is granted on account of error in the trial below in the admission of evidence, notably a question to a witness who had given Holly a good character as to whether he had not heard that Holly pois- oned his wife and one in which an objectionable hypothetical question was put. The case of Atlanta f!oflr TJiw. v. Goldsboro ends in. a victory for the town in that it held that the railroad company can be compelled to lower Its grade tracks laid before the town was chartered to conform with new grades established for the streets to conform to a general scheme of drainage. It settles this issue as to the right of towns in general to con- trol railroads in this particular. Another case of particular interest is YoungBville township vb. Webb & company, which settles the right of townships to issue road bonds without a vote of the people as necessary ex- pense. The validity of such bonds was in question and has been .an is- sue under similar circumstances in many parts of the state. The ruling in this case fixes their validity. Rocky Mount.
