Little did the speaker know how dangerous it really was. He was destined to experience the full force of the danger in a most remarkable manner a few moments later, for Ike managed to perform a second marvelous ventriloquistic trick—one of the most wonderful of all. He managed to make, seemingly, a woman scream in a shrill tone:. The words had hardly left the woman's lips, as it appeared, when the door opened.

The "snide" was actually caught with his ear to the keyhole, so suddenly had the door opened. Well, a scene followed. The politicians were really discussing a very important political matter. They looked upon the "snide" as a sneak who was merely [Pg 69] seeking for information to steal it, and they were mad.

Indeed, there was danger around there just at that moment. As intimated, the politicians were mad; they believed this "ward heeler," as they mistook the "snide" to be, had gotten on to their whole little affair. They did not stand on ceremony—they just broke loose. They were all really toughs, and the way they went for Mister Snide was lovely to behold, especially had any one been present who really recognized what a mean sneak the "snide" was.

No one interfered. He was permitted to get at him and the first blow knocked the "snide" to the landing of the stairs.

The second blow was a terrific kick which sent him headlong down the steps. He, fortunately for himself, did not break his neck in his descent, and gained his feet and made a rush into the bar on his way to the door to the street, but he did not get there before one of the politicians was at his heels. He received a kick that lifted him clear off the floor, then another man took a rap at him, and at each kick up he leaped involuntarily; so, with kicks and raps, he was knocked clear out to the street, and there stood the two ventriloquists to see him come forth.

Ike expected him, and the young fellow's expectations were not disappointed; a worse laying out no sneak ever received. The man fell helpless on the sidewalk, and when a policeman ran to his aid he told his tale and yelled: "Arrest those men. They are the robbers of the old miser. The policeman believed the man drunk or crazy, and rapped for assistance, and when his mate joined him they toted him off to the station. All the way the man protested, and when he arrived at the station he told his tale to the sergeant.

The latter was bound to give the story his attention. He led the man back to the resort and up [Pg 70] to the room. The politicians had reassembled. The sergeant knocked for admission and was let in. The sergeant knew every man present in the room, knew that none of them were crooks, and he was confirmed in the impression that the man was drunk or crazy.

The "snide" was led back to the station house and put in a cell. He yelled and protested, and no wonder.

The Twin Ventriloquists;

He foamed at the mouth in his excitement. The most partial observer would have counted him crazy. Now I reckon I can make an entrance and interview the old man. The two ventriloquists proceeded down to the old house and arrived just in time to meet another embarrassment. A policeman entered the house just as they arrived in sight.

The lads waited around for about an hour, when to our hero's delight he saw the policeman come from the house. The two young men had made a thorough search around the neighborhood and were convinced that there was no [Pg 71] one on the watch. After the policeman had been gone some little time Ike bade Jack remain on the watch.

The daring young man then leaped the gate of the old alleyway and passed around to the rear of the house. He saw the glimmer of a light shooting forth from the windows of the room on the second floor. He remained a moment studying the rear of the house, then descended the areaway and in a few moments managed to gain an entrance, although the door was bolted on the inside; but the woodwork had rotted and he easily gained an entrance, as stated.

All was cold and damp. As he stepped inside the hallway he drew his mask lantern and glanced around. It was a dreary sight that met his view. On tiptoe Ike ascended to the parlor floor. He entered the front parlor, and as he flashed his light around he experienced a shock of surprise. There were articles of great value lying around; marble statues had rolled from their pedestals and had fallen to the floor, and on the walls were very valuable paintings, their frames moldy and the pictures apparently ruined.

There was one picture that had been covered, and at a glance our hero discerned that it had been cared for—the only article in the room which had evidently ever been dusted or cleaned. The young man was doing a nervy piece of business, and yet he was as cool and deliberate as though in his own house. He moved about with great care and in a noiseless manner, and he advanced to the picture, removed the cloth, flashed his light upon it and recoiled as though gazing at an apparition.

It was the one great surprise of his life. There he stood, as he supposed gazing upon a portrait of Sara Sidney, the beautiful girl whom he had served in such a signal manner. He stood gazing in rapt attention, and so engrossed was he that he did not observe a counter-light in the room, nor become aware of the presence of another until he was startled almost to a condition of terror when a voice demanded:.

Ike turned and beheld a strange-looking old man standing within a few feet of him.

  4. In his hand the old man held a light, and his deep, sunken eyes were illuminated with a strange gleam as their glance rested on the ventriloquist. Burglar, there is nothing left for you. The scoundrels who came here before took everything—yes, everything. I've lived many years independent of all friendship. But what do you think of that picture?

    The Twin Ventriloquists;

    Hark you, I have but to give an alarm—touch a button—and I will have a whole platoon of police here. Ike stood with his face turned toward the strange old man. The latter thrust his light forward and carefully studied the ventriloquist's features. What I desire to know is, who is the lady whose portrait I see here? You say you know one for whom that picture might be accepted as the portrait? I can see now that the party I know is not the original of the portrait, but the likeness is very remarkable—yes, wonderful.

    7. The party I know could be a twin sister. The old man uttered a cry, and advancing toward Ike seized his arm and demanded: "What do you mean? Who are you? I concluded she must be a family connection; indeed, I am in the habit of putting little bits of evidence together and I arrived at a conclusion, following a suspicion aroused by the strange resemblance; that's all.

      I am telling you the truth. Come upstairs with me. We will talk this matter over. My name is Ward; yes, my name is Ward, but I once knew a man named Sidney. He was the friend of my boyhood. I have not seen or heard from him for many, many years. Yes, yes, I remember he did; but come upstairs. I wish to talk to you. The old man led the way to the room on the second floor, and, remembering what he had seen in the lower part of the house, Ike was surprised to behold the air of comfort and neatness presented in this apartment.

      Ike had his own suspicions, but he did not project them. He was going very slow, as he hoped to draw the old man on and force him to a very startling confession.

      He told the story of Sara Sidney—told it in a straightforward, simple manner. The old man listened attentively and betrayed considerable emotion, and he muttered:. How much I might have done for this daughter of my old friend! But alas! I am a poor man now—yes, a poor man. I will never get my property back. I cannot be deceived—this man Sidney was more to you than a friend.
