'You Will never know that from me- -
answered the Indian.
Hendricks face fell. He signaled DIR.
Lampkin to follow and led the way
downstairs.
In the basement they found nothing
of note except a trunk bearing the in
itials of Weldon Caruthers.
That's what he brought the body in, ,"
said Hendricks.
In the big cellars below, they found,
directly under the trap Kola had ar
ranged, the yawning opening Of a deep
pit.
'-An awful hole" said Hendricks, as
he turned away He pointed to some
large steel vessels and two large cop
per cylinders such q are used for MAX
ing lime light in the theaters.
That's where he cr6nated the body
section by section," he said. "ue
thought, as most murderers do, that
his secret was we'll guarded"
They searched through all the rooms
Of the cellar, and then Hendricks
stopped,

disappointment. 81 believe Kola told
the truth about his being the only one

is somewhere under ground. We have
seen one cavern, and it is not unlikely
that there are others. It has long been
believed that they are under this hill.
Can't you think of some plan to wiring
the truth from that imp?"
They had paused before the door of
little room whore dim light shone
over the transom. Lamplzin tried the
latch, and, finding the door unlocked,
he pushed it open. The room had
shelves on all three of it's walls, and these
shelves were we'll filled with all sorts of
bottles.

The doctor took down bottle and
read the label and then uncorked it and
applied it to his nose.

performed at medical college. A thief
was made to confess under the influence

what he desires most to keep back"
Bring it upstairs, for the love of

AS they entered the reception-room
Kola's questioning glance became fixed
on the bottle in the doctors hand.
'Huh!" he grunted, you need not try
to give me that won't take it,
''Find me towel, Hendricks was all
the doctor said. He spoke like de-
termined man who is thoroughly angry.
Hendricks darted into a bathroom
near by and returned with the required
article.
Snow lay his lordship on the floor, -
the doctor said.
Kola wriggled like an eel, but, with
Hendricks at his head and Sergt.
Denham's determined hands at his feet,
they soon had him laid out. DR.. Lamp
kin folded the towel into the shape of a
funnel and saturated it with the fluid
from the bottle. Then he started to put
it over Kola's mouth and nose.
"Hold on, give him one more chance"
ordered Hendricks. Where is Gielow,
Kola?"
The only answer the Indian made was
to close his lips tightly.
"The devil is trying to hold his
BREATH" cried Lampkin. "I1l show

And, holding the towel over Kola's
nose with his left hand, he began to
punch him violently in the chest. This

"Give him some more!"
ooh. no, he must not be too deeply
under it," objected Lamplin. He is

towel little, for the lips of the Indian
were moving.
A harsh laugh broke from the death
like face.

chuckled Kola. 'I'll never be suspect

way, I shall be free. Yes, free, and rich,
and as powerful. as king"
There he paused. Lampkin held up
his hand to warn the others not to
speak, and in distinct voice: said:
'But Gielow-will he be found?"
'Never!" burst impulsively from
Kolas lips. "Nosone else knows the Sc

head of the dragon"
The eyes of Hendricks and the doctor
met. Hendricks flashed knowingly,
