tomato tone of one who speaks before
dcliberation. Then he calculated with
force: "Oh, yes, certainly"
But" said Hendricks, with strong
emphasis on the word, eff the hell

the communication which he had

knowing I wouldn't get it at once"
'But for what reason?" asked the

What, Gielow?"
Hendricks unused a moment, then he
said:
'0This attempt and the other, show
ing such positive enmity to me person
ally, make the whole business the big
gest mystery of my experience. Be-
sides, there is another clew which tends
to lead me away from the idea of i'm
plicating the artist"
''What is that?''
Hendricks gazed at the. open fire as
if debating how to express himself
clearly.
'You remember" he began, chat the
letter Miss Huntington showed US pur-
porting to be Caruthers' at Philadelphia
was forged, of course, since Caruthers
was dead when it was written"
-''I remember said Lampkin, with a
sudden start.
''You also recall that l spoke to her
of certain idiomatic expressions in it,
showing that it was written by for
eigner."
,-.''Yes, quite WELL"
Hendricks smiled and stroked his
wounded side.
'Gielow didn't write that letter. Nov
what foreigner have we reason to sus-
pect of having had hand in this
matter?"
"Bantinni,' exclaimed the doctor
rising excitedly. "My Lord, why did

The detective smiled. He was at one
of his old games of trying the effect OF
conflicting evidence on his friend.
'You have forgottenone other thing
and there you are he grinned. "What
about Gielow's confession?'
DIR. Lampkin's face fell. He was silent
for several minutes.
''You are incorrigible!" he broke out
suddenly. ST don't make sport of you
when you come nosing around in my
profession. I sit down and give you the
benefit of all there is in it.
The detective smiled apologetically
''You are at liberty to retaliate at any
time,'' he returned. "Besides, if let you
on to the climaxes of my cases before
reached them you'd lose interest, and
I'd not have the pleasure of your com

!, CHAPTER K.

Despite his strong will and deter1nin.
alton not to yield to weakness, Hen
bricks was compelled to remain in his
room longer than he expected. But his
mind was not idle. Every time DR.
Lampkin called he found him engaged
in some investigation pertaining to the
murder of Caruthers.
"You might as well go out and be
done with it," remarked Lampkin one
day. "Don't you know you'll never get
strong again as long as you keep your
brain on the race-track ?"
Hendricks looked down sheepishly.
81 don't think you ought to be-
grudge a fellow the little he can accom-
plish in a room the size of this wher
Sergt. Denham and his aides are turn.
ing the earth upside down.
Lampkin walked to window Inn
patiently.
''Who is that red-headed man in the
drawing-rocm? he asked, sharply.
"Oh!" exclaimed the detective. ''You
saw him, then? told Kitty to hide him
behind a screen till you had come and
gone"
"She obeyed your orders all right
returned the doctor, smiling, "but / pre-
sumo she didn't know who I was, fo1

" But I'm the DOCTOR said /, and he

Hendricks laughed heartily, holding
his hand over his wounded side.
'Who is the fellow?" demanded
Lampk;n.
"He is a prominent employe in a
crematory near New York.
What do yon want to see him
about?"
Hendricks drew himself up a little
higher in his chair.
Ring that bell there twice." he said.
'It is the signal agreed on between me
and Kitty. She will show him UP, and
you can be present at the interview"
Lampkin rang as directed, and mo-
ment later the red-headed individual
with beard of the same color entered
rubbing MS short fat hands. Lampki1l
could not keep from mentally compar-
ing him to an undertaken.
Mr.. Simpkins glanced at the doctor
half inquiringly and then his eyes fell
on the patient.

CHAPTER XI.

Two days later Hendricks was de-
clared able to go down to his Office. He
had just finished dressing when his
mother raped on his door.
ssYou have a visitor in the drawing
room, said the old lady, with smile.
"a visitor?" grunted the detective,
impatiently.
IA young lady," smiled Mrs. Hen
bricks. ''She would not give her name,
but she is about the prettiest creature
I ever saw. She is dressed in the latest
fashion, and drove up in her own car
rage"
Hendricks turned quickly and flushed
slightly.
'.Tall and slender, erect, walks like a
queen, golden brown hair, and heavy
eyebrows over eyes like"
Eyes, I think it is Miss Huntington"
said Mrs. Hendricks when his fund of
adiectives was exhausted. "She is very
anxious to see YOU"
"Tell her I'll be right down." said
Hendricks. "She is just the person I
wanted to see.'
A moment later when he entered the
little drawlng-room he found the
heiress standing near a window.
81 am afraid I shall be great in
truder on your time" she began, as she
took his hand, in the cordial clasp of
which there was vague reinsurance,
"but I have been to your office three
times hoping to find you in
Hendricks cleared his throat. He was
really shocked at the alteration in her.
She had grown thinner, and her great
lustrous eyes shone from sockets in
which there was no sign Of blood.
II am certainly glad you came" he
said, leading her to a comfortable chair.
