CHAPTER XVI.

In the afternoon two days later, Hen.
bricks called ut the Office of DR.. Lamp
kin in New York. He was shown into
an anteroom where half dozen pa.
tients sat in a row against the wall, each
awaiting his turn. Hendricks sat down
at the end of the row, crossed his legs
and soon became deeply absorbed in
thought.
Presently he heard cough, and
looking up, saw the doctor beckoning
to him from the Office door. Hendricks
rose and went in.
DR.. Lampkin was laughing heartily

Lampkin kept up with him. Just as
Hendricks plunged through the swing
ing door leading to the train steam was
heard escaping from the engine. The
guards on the platform of the cars
were jerking the bell cord and closing
the gates.
"Wait, for Gods sake!" yelled the de-
tective, as he darted past the man who
was receiving the tickets, and reached
the nearest car. But the gates were
closed and the train was moving. The
guards, as they swept by, stared in as
constituent at the two men and mo-
toned them back.
But Hendricks did not heed their
warning. Grasping the gate on the
front end of the last car while the guard
was closing the sliding door of the car
ahead, he swung himself first to foot
hold on the platform, and then. before
the guard could prevent it, leaped over
the gate.
