AT half after seven o'clock that even
ing DR.. 'Lamplsin was waiting for Hen
bricks at the latter's Office. Promptly
at the time set by the detective he hur-
ried into the room out Of breath. At
glance it was plain to Lamplin that TO
had met with no success.
Its no good,' said Hendricks, fun
ing. II can't get the slightest hint as
to his whereabouts. They say he has

questioned Lampkin. "This case is fret
ting the life out of me. never felt SO
much concern over anything in nv
life"
Hendricks brows ran together and,
without making reply, he went into
the adjoining room and Lampin heard
him ring the telephone. There was
pause; then he heard the voice of the
detective calmly asking for the con-
nection. Then tensely:

"But you ought not to sit up there
like that. want to say that DR.. Lamp

try, and that you need not expect to
hear from me again tonight"
Another pause, then the voice of the
detective broke the silence: -
"Ies, really, 1 can tell you. otl,ing

Then there was silence for moment
and Hendricks rang off. When he en-
tered the room he was white ir the face,
and his fat hands-the hands which had
frightened about the Threats and wrists
of hundred criminals-were trem-
bling. ~as..~ 80. ~..,
"Old man." he said, II heard her fall
to the floor just now. I heard her aunt
scream and run to her" Hendricks sat
down and leaned on his desk. There
was something in his eyes that Lamp
kin had never seen in the eyes Of any
human being.
Doctor" Hendricks added, "if do
run across that dirty scamp, II am
afraid / never can wait for justice to
take its course. / am satisfied that he
is not only Giclow's abductor, but that
he is the man who has tried twice to do
me up in such cowardy fashion,"
Then Hendricks shook himself, as if
ashamed of his outburst, and leaned
back in the light Of the shaded
lamp.
Il heard you telephone Miss Hunt
ington that you and l were going out
into the country" said Lampkin. "Waa
that only q r~ote>to"

Bring him back?" gasped Henri, pal
ing. "Do you think if he was found that
1t would 60 hard with him?"
mo, I do not" answered Hendricks,
reassuringly. "The main thing now Is
to find him."
II didn't think they would blame him
much when they know it ALL" said the
servant. HE was certainly out of his
mind"
Hendricks gave an impatient shrug.
II want you to tell me all you can
about this Count Bantinni. What sort
Of man is he?"
II never did like him, sir. he seemed
to have such strange influence over
my master. I never could understand
1t. We always knew his peculiar sort
OF ring, and master would make face
when he heard it. But it wouldn't be q
minute after they met till they would
be drinking and laughing together like
close friends"
Hendricks face changed and strange
eagerness lighted his piercing eyes.
'That was queer" he said, tenta-
lively. Then. as if weighing his next
question, he paused for two or three
minutes. Finally he asked:
''Did the count seem to have that sort
of influence, with anyone else?"
"He could make you do whatever he
wished, sir, and you'd never know you
did it."
''You are joking now," said Hen
bricks, but his eyes were blazing. "How
do you know this?"
II was never more serious in my life,
sir. They amused themselves one

The Indian closed his eyes. The bell
overhead struck three times, and Kola's
attendant ran in excitedly.

startled tone. mo more talk! he MODS

Now sleep! No noise. Me hees doc
tor"
The two visitors rose, and taking their
hats they tip-toed from the room.
Reaching the outside, they walked aide
by side nearly to the carriage without
q word between them. Just before they
reached the vehicle, Lampkin suddenly
broke into laugh.
"Tll treat you to the best dinner ever
served il you won't tell this on me-" he
said.
Hendricks paused and stared at him
Axedly.

You and Kola certainly did work

all now. 1t is job put up on me. You
promised me an interesting evening out
here, and between you and your chum
you gave it to me. Oh, never was so
badly sold! 1 would have sworn that
you were actually excited yourself"
Hendricks made no reply for an in
slant, then he laid his hand over the
Bible he still held.

this Book, l swear that cannot nc

"He-he is dead?" she said, under her
breath.
"No, not quite SO bad as that" Hen.
bricks raised his hand as if his gesture
would correct her surmise. "But have
reasons for believing that he is in
very, very critical position. The fact
is, that he succeeded in getting writ
ten message to the police to the effect
that he is confined in some place un-
known to himself by Count Bantinni,
and that he is starving to death. 1t is
clear to me now that Dantinni is the
murderer; that, through hypnotic
power, he has made Mr.. Gielow confess
to the murder both to Henri, in person,
and in letters to the police and your
self"
For moment the heiress stared,
speechless.
ut is indeed serious" went on the
detective, turning his uncomfortable
gaze on the doctor. "Bantinni is I'M
doubtedly the guilty party, and Gle
low is the only witness against him. In
order to carry his point-of making it
appear that Gielow was guilty, and of
his own accord fugitive-he would
not hesitate to-" -. -

tective, "but that is more easily talked
about than accomplished. Already I
have turned every stone to trace him,
but without particle Of success. He is
the deepest villain on earth. If his
own flight were questioned, he would
claim that he disappeared to keep from
bearing testimony against his friend,
Gielow.'
Just then Henri passed through the
room, the advertisement in his hand.
Hendricks nodded after him as he dis
appeared.
II have sent him with Personal for
the morning Herald. In it offer sub.
stantial reward for information regard
ing the finding Of Mr.. Gielow's message.
I have worded it in such way that 1t

picked it up. That blockhead Denham
was too busy to question him, and now
he must be found by us. I now know
why Denham had no eyes or ears for
any other clews than the mysterious
one of which he boosted. He has had
letter from Gielow such as Miss
Huntington received, and has had its
genuineness guaranteed by experts.
His fall will be great and sudden"
Hendricks rose.
II shall have to leave you BOTH" he
said. Cline is too valuable to spend it
in useless explanations. can do better

make another strenuous effort to locate

O'Clock, and''-he turned to Miss Hunt
ington-"do try to bear up. promise,

or unfavorable, that I will telephone
YOU"
The young lady stood up and leaned
on the back of her chair
IL shall sit near the telephone till 1
hear" she said. "Please don't forget"
1t looked rs if Hendricks was about
to object to that, but he shrugged his
shoulders, and, bowling low, moved
backward till he was out of the room,
and then they heard him walking rap
idly away.
