Again and yet again he repeated inc

Then it flew open with loud crash,
and he stood before tie aperture thuS
made. gazing into the inky darkness.
Several seconds had elapsed since his
first attack upon the door Time
cnough for anyone who was within to
conceal himself, but yet with no oppor-
unity of escape. The Captain remem.
bered the room perfectly: remembered
that there was only one means oil en-

The light from the hallway cast us

The bed had been occupied, out WAS

Not a sound broke the stiffness. after
the crashing in of the door: there was
nothing to betray the presence OF per-
SON other than himself, and yet the Cap
tain felt sure that the man whom he had
passed in the street was concealed WITH

But no sound fell upon his ears. The

Feeling his way cautiously. in order
not to hctray his presence by any sound,
he reached the stairs.
There he paused long enough to re-
move his shoes. lhen went on up - the
parlor tloor.
The Investigations that he had made
nj the request of Mrs. Stratton stood
him in hand then, for he was familiar
with the plan of the house and remem-
hered perfectly the location of furniture
and OF doors.
The Darlor floor was as deserted as
the basement and the Captain assembled
TO the next one.
When he reached the landing and
paused TO listen he plainly heard voice
issuing from the room which Mrs. S,rat-
ton had said was hers.
Two or three gliding steps took him

Trying it carefully he found that it
was locked. and he placed his ear to the
kcyhole.

He recognized their purpose instantly
They were electric buttons placed there
for the purpose OF lighting the gas in

below. He had ignited gas jet on the
parlor floor.

was as light a. midday.
HeSitating then no longer. and with
every energy upon the alert, he lcaped
through the doorway. turning abruptly
as he did so.
None too soon.
Even Is he turned he realized that
his enemy was upon him: that for once
in his life he was In the grasp of a man
who was as powerful IS himself.
Neither spoke. Both realized the
value OF breath upon the instant that
they grappled.
The Captain remembered the words
of Adelaide Stratton when she described
Roger Tremaine: An Apollo and a
Hercules combined" He knew now
the value of her words.

That evening. just at the hour when
happy little ones were gathering around
the Christmas trees. the station-house
IN Thirtieth street was again visited by
the form and features of Adelaide STRAIT
ton. But her mind was an utter blank.
She could give no account of herself
whatever. and only by her appearance
could IL be conjectured that she had
been wandering about the city during
the entire day.
Warned in some manner of the COM
ing of Roger Tremaine she had escaped
him But her reason was wrecked.
A month later she was borne to her
grave from an asylum for the insane.
