HIDDEN HOUSE
By CLARISSA MACK1E
"Remember, Jack, the man has been
in prison for twenty years once he
was a great politician, a rich man,
respected by all but he was found
out in a big steal. He's done time and
now he is out. What is he going to
do with the rest of his life? Bring me
the story and you'll get yours, see?"
The ?'e Tit . , ,
i away to catch the first train for a re
, mote Ia)and vlagei where ft
( wa8 saj(j Roberts was in hiding.
; At Sandyways Jack guardedly ques-
The chief smiled and Jack hustled
I tioned the host of the solitary notel
He reasoned that Law son Roberts
would seek sanctuary under an as
sumed name.
"Many strangers in town?" repeated
the hotel man, thoughtfully nibbling
a toothpick. "Can't say as there are
all the boarders have srone. I reckon
you're an agent of some kind maybe j
selling doors T
Jack smiled evasively.
"I'll bet there's one old party you
couldn't sell a book to not If you was
to take off 90 per cent of the price,"
went on the man.
"Who is he?"
"Name's Robii.son taken the old
Hidden house used to be Judge Hid
den's place. Cella Hidden married
Lawson Roberts, the politician; he's
in prison now for crooked dealing.
His wife died ten years, ago and the
place belongs to the daughter. It's
never been rented until recently, when
Mrs. Hester Bird rented It. No one
ever heard of her before; and now
her brother, old man Robinson, and
his daughter have arrived. And
they're all as close-mouthed and up
pish as can be; as if Sandyways folks
weren't good enough for them. And
stingy whew!"
"Well, -you're not very encouraging,"
responded Jack with a bored air as he
moved away. But when he was out
of sight his pace quickened. The
first urchin he met directed him to
Hidden house on the outskirts of the
village.
He approached the side entrance to
the gloomy old house, passing a small,
rustic summerhouse smothered In
woodbine.
"Halt!" said a determined voice.
Jack halted to confront a wicked
looking shotgun leveled by a sweet-faced,-
wide-eyed girl boyishly attired
in a short khaki skirt and blouse, with
high-laced tan boots on her pretty
feet.
His hat came off. and his look of
Inquiry was mingled with sincere ad
miration. "Perhaps you didn't observe the 'No
Trespassing' Blgns," she remarked
coolly.
"I didn't," he honestly confessed.
"They are plainly to be seen," she
said significantly. "You can read them
as you pass out."
"Thank you but I want to see some
one."
"Who are you looking for?" she
asked sharply.
"Mr. Roberts," he hazarded.
Her face paled and a desperate look
came Into the sweet eyes that should
never have been troubled by sorrow.
"You mean Mr. Robinson?" she
asked. i
"I mean Lawson Roberts." he said, I
feeling like a brute. j
The gun dropped suddenly as If her
strength had failed her.
"I might have known It! You want '
to Interview him, I suppose? He has i
paid the price of his sin let him
alone!" she cried passionately.
"My my paper" he stammered, i
abashed at her emotion
"Your paper!" she mimicked. "What
is It to your Daner whnt mv fothor
does now that Justice has been satis
fled? No one would listen to him
when he protested his Innocence In
those old days." How scornfully she
looked at him!
"Hardly that." he said brusquely.
He looked sharply down the path. The
bent form of a man was hobbling pain
fully down the walk.
"He is like a child." she said tremu
lously. "He has been shut away from
the world so long, and now everything
is strange to him. I will not have him
hounded by curiosity seekers! I will
kill the first man who tries to Inter
view him!" She ended in a fierce
outburst that was strangely unlike
her gentle personality.
"I will go. Miss Roberts." ha M
slowly. "Some day I'm coming back
again, not as a reporter to Interview
your father, but as a friend to help
prove his innocence!"
"Ah, thank you but stay now and
hear his story of the guilty man," she
cried eagerly.
He shook his bead. "I must throw
up my present Job before I can tackle
another one," be smiled and went
away.
Afterward, when a great criminal
lawyer took up J.he Roberts case and
proved the Innocence of the old man,
all credit was given to Jack Shtrjey
for bis strenuous efforts in the case,
and when Jack married Cella Roberts
people said he bad his great reward.
The editor of the Chronicle mut
tered maledictions on womankind in
general and pretty girls in particular.
"I wondered what queered that
Roberts assignment," be frowned. "It
was the girl in the case!"

The Idea.
"What's a philanthropist, pa?"
"He's a variety of things, my son,
but oftenest he's a man who robs
Peter of bis savings to pay Paul's
rent."
