As the others disappeared, leading the thres horses, Mortimer grasped my sleeve "That's Preacher Jenks," he whis pered, "from down at the Crops Roads What can Fagin want of him?" "If Fagin is -Grang's tool, and Gran! is here," I answered soberly, "I am ready to make a guess at what is up.' The recollection of the captain's threa: at the summer-house instantly re curred to memory. "Here, you lads skulk down into these bushes, while I try that balcony. That is the library isn't it, Erie? I thought so; I've been under guard there twice. The win dow shows no light, but some one it in the room beyond. Give me a leg up, Tém, and stand close so you can hear if I speak." It was not high from the ground, but I could poten p the top of the rail without. help, ith Tom's assistance I went over lightfy enough, and with out noise. The window was the one which had been broken during the first assault on the house, and never repaired. I found ample room for crawling through. The door ipte the hall stood partly ajar, a little light streaming through the crack, so I ex- perienced nao difficulty in moving about freely. A glance told me the apart- ment was unoccupied, although I heard the murmur of distant voices earnestly conversing. Occasionally an emphatic oath sounded clear and distinet. My first thought was that the men withune would be better con- cealed here t§an in the bushes below, and I leaned over the rail, and bade them join me. 'Within another minute the three of us were in the room in- tently listening. I stole across to the crack of the door. The hall was empty. so far, ns I could see looking toward the rear of the house, and the volces we heard were evidently in the dining-room. Occasionally there was a clatter of dishes, or the scraping of a chair on the polished floor. One voice sang out an order to a servant, a nasal voice, slightly thickened by wine, and I wheeled about, gazing in- quiringly into Mortimer's face, "That's Grant," he sald quickly, "and half drunk." "I thought so; that's when he is really dangerous. Stay close here; if Fagin Roared Out: "What it It Now?
