FOR a moment he remained motion less, his broad shoulders braced against the wall; then, with a muttered Imprecation, hurled the harmless weapon across the room. Morgan's forehead was damp with beads of perspiration; McGregor's face had gone the color of chalk. Each was a brave man, but to stand by and wit ness another blow out his brains had gone against the grain. Only I had kept my nerve, for 1 alone knew the revolver was not loaded. Haupmann uttered a short, disagree able laugh. "It seems you would not let me eud the matter In the simplest manner; per haps it Is because ou do not know the Baron von Seldorf as 1 do. ' He spoke bitterly. "And so you would hae blown out your brains?" said I. "And why not?" he answered. "I have been tricked by that miserable Halfenstein. In the devil's name, why do you Interfere In my affairs, or will the reward be greater if you deliver me alive to the governor?" "Captain Haupmann, ' said I boberly, "you are in error; we have nothing to do with the governor of Brescia." He stared at me incredulously. "It Is true," I continued, "I obtained the paper from Herr Halfenstein, but I had no Intention of making use of it except to protect ourselves " "What dell's game is this? Who are you anyway?" he demanded hoarsely. "You had supposed we were conspir ators against the government of Bies cia: might I inquire how it Is you de sired to arrest us, being jourself in a consniraev to overthrow the Baron on Seldorf?" A grim smile crossed his bloodless face. "I knew you were not of our party; there are no foreigners among us. Wh. In that case should I not obey orders? he answered " "And lull the suspicions of the gov ernor?" put in Morgan. Ho shrugged his shoulders "Listen continued Morgan You have nothing to fear from us if you agree to certain conditions." "And Halfenstein?" broke in the Bres cian. .... , . "What of this Halfenstein?" asked Morgan, turning to me. "I can promise Halfenstein will not trouble us. he will abide by such agree ment as we may reach," I answered 1 fancied an expression of telief flash ed across the captain s face, that he was sorely puzzled was evident. Mor gan took up the conversation. "If you will agree, upon your honor as an officer, to attempt no violence of any description we will, in turn, pledge our honor to talk this matter oer calmlj. It may be possible ou have nothing to fear from this Haifen Btein or oursel es. Are you agreed The Bresclan's reply was to descend from the bed, when, seating himself upon its edge, he regarded us one after the other "The deuce take me, but I do not un derstand," he muttered Then, with the utmost coolness, he produced a cigar ette and lighted it. Morgan drew me to one side, but I od s,cr od that McGregor did not neglect to watch the captain closely. If the lat tei saw it he made no sign: only puff ed nonchalantly upon the cigarette. Aj briefly as possible I explained to Morcin what had occurred. He nodded, rlanced toward the closed door of the closet, and lowered his voice, so what he said could not reach the ears of tho man seated upon the bed. "I have had a talk with Shulhof, and It was because of it I -etumed to Bres cia this afternoon." "But. siin-ly. vou have not e-.- P "Hardly that, but I have sounded him.

"Fhulhof is lrtually a prisoner at the lilla: what tou have learned about a conspiracy explains the possible rea son It was useless for me to remain there, and esoecially as he gave me a message to a friend of his In the city.

Everybody's Question Box Answers to Queries Times Inquiry Department: Kindly tell me of an unfailing "medy : tor letting colors In wash material. andg obURe. A household authority recommends washing lignt materials that are apt to fade In bran water Instead of ordin ary soap aand water. It is made by boil ing two quarts of clean bran In two gallons of water for one-half hour. Strain this through a cloth, squeezing It to get the glutinous mass, and In this wash the material, using neither soap nor Btarch. This will make the goods like new, and will prevent fading. Ordinary salt and water will set deli cate colors, and there Is an ox gall soap which Is also said to set colors In wash goods. This may be obtained at any large grocery store.

LITTLE FOLK JUST BEFORE BEDTIME . The Sandman's Stories THE SURPRISE. MORROW is my birthday,". said little Nellie Stewart, "you j 1 promised I should nave a party, mother." "Tou shall, my dear!" her mother re plied. "But you are not getting ready for It," said Nellie, "and we have not In vited any one." "Walt and see," said her mother, "you will have your party, I promise you, but It Is to be a surprise." "How can It be a surprise," said Nellie. "I know all about it." "That is the surprise, you do not know all about It," her mother replied, "you only know that you are to have a party, but you do not know what kind of a party it Is to he." Nellie went Into the kitchen several times that day, but there was no spe cial preparation being made and-she began to wonder If It could be possible that her mother would give a party for her without refreshments. The next morning Nellie was called for ,an early breakfast and while she w aseatlng it several of her boy and girl friends arrived and hermother told her that the party had begun. At 8 o'clock twentyllttle friends were on the porch and a large wagon with long seats on each side was drawn to the door by two big horses. Then the lunch arrived In large hampers and was stored under the seats. Then Nellie's mother told her she was to have a picnic party In a grove some miles away. Nellie was as excited as. any of her little guests, as she never had herd of a picnic party and sne wondered what her mother had planned to amuse them. The air was clear and cool and the birds were singing In the trees as they rode along, and the little folk thought that ever thing was help ing to make the day beautiful. They were quite a way out of the city when they saw a man coming to ward them leading what looked like a huge dog, but when they were nearer It proed to be a bear. The driver stopped his horse, and the man with the bear said: "He dance for you." Nellie's mother gave him some silver and he played on a pipe while the bear stood on his hind legs and danced around in a circle. He looked so clumsy and awkward that the children screamed with laughter. Then the bear put his big paws around tls master and they danced together. His master next loaded a wooden gun and the bear pulled the trigger and then looked at the children and laughed, or at least It looked as though nt did, for his mouth was open very wide. One little boy threw a ,Mece of candy to the bear, who ate It, and then came to the end of the wagon and put his paws on the opening looking for more. The boy gave him the bag to get him away, for the children were a little frightened to have him so near. The bear sat on the ground and emp tied the bag In a very short time. The horses were the only ones who did not enjoy the funny bear, and they were Impatient to move on. As they rode away the children waved their hands to the bear and he waved his paw, until they were out of sight They had gone only a short distance when they met a man with an organ and a monkey, and they stopped again. fcUfl u y Sat ok THEyv 3' and riWmTmmf'-- 3 Nellie's mother gave him a piece of sil ver, and the monkey danced while the man played the organ, but the music was so bad they asked him to stop. The monkey wanted to tret to the children because they were eating, and he lumped to he side of the wagon and took oil his cap. One little slrl offered him a bag to help himself to peanuts, and. quick as a flash, he pulled it from her hand and ran to the top of the it agon. A limb of a tree overhung: the covered top, and up went the monkey, pulling the chain out of his master's hand as he Jumpl. tor a few minute? there was a great confus.ion. The man chattered In a foreign tongue, fearing he had lost bis pet. and tho monkcv chattered in monkey language, thinking they wanted io lane away me peanuts. LiUCKliy tne chain became entangled In the tree. and his master was able to capture mm. wntn ne naa mm sate be boxeu his ears and said something v-hlch prob ably mean: "you are a very bad mon key." for the monkey put hte paws over his face and made a noise Just like a child crying. "Poor little fellow," said the children; "don't hurt him." The organ man smiled and shook his head. "I no hurt him." he said as he held the monkey close to him and pat ted him. The monkey reached up his paw and patted his masters cheek. The children said good-by, and the merry partv drove along. Just before they reached the grove they met a man with a cage of birds. "Tell your fortune," he said, lifting his cap. So they stopped again and Nellie's mother arranged to hae the fortune of rach boy and girl told. The man brought the cage to the step of the wagon and reached into the cage with a stick. One of the birds hopped on It and then picked up a printed slip of paper, and with the bird still on the stick the man held It toward a little girl, who took the slip from the bird's bill. All the birds helped to tell the fortunes and each boy and girl had a slip of paper hen the carriage drove away which prophesied long" and happy life. Nellie thought It strange they met these performing animals, but her mother told her they were on their way to the city and It was yet early In the day. At last they reached the grove, where they played games until It was time Y. - hfrrrEDHa" for lunch, and then the hampers were unpacked. And such a hungry little people you never saw. There were sandwiches of all kinds and ice cold milk. little cakes and cookies, peaches, pears, and bananas. After lunch Nellie's mother read to them, and then they rode home by an other route, stopping at a pretty little house covered with vines and roses, where ice cream was served, for Nellie's mother Bald a party was not complete without ice cream. It was almost din ner time when they reached Nellie's house, and each little guest scampered toward home, but first they told Nellie and her mother they had had Just the nicest time at the picnic party and they never would forget all the fun they had on the way to the grove. "I think my party was the nicest kind of a surprise." Nellie told her mother, "and I am sure the other children were as much surprised as I was."
