CHAPTER XVI.

When GieIow and Count Bantinni left
the studio on the night the murder was
committed, they stealthily descended
to the street by means of the di1nly
lighted stairway rather than by the ele-
vator.
Gielow started in the direction of the
elevator, but the count grasped his arm
and hastily drew him along one Of the
darkest corridors.
Not that way, fool" he said between
his teeth. 'Do you want to expose
yourself to the view of everybody in the
gaslight? You have not a moment to
spare. The police and Hendricks are
on your track"
''No. rot a moment to spare echoed
the artist in a listless, dreamy tone, and
he stopped, leaned against the wall and
locked back towards the studio.
The count caught him roughly by
the arm and shook him violently.
Il tell you the murder has been dis
covered" be Kissed in the ear of the
artist.

murder, you say:'
"Yes, you remember killing Caruth-
ers."

CHAPTER XVII.

Giel0w came hack to consciousness
to be in the studio laughing at Henri
for draping a curtain awkwardly.2 Next
he was with Dorothy in the conserva-
tory at her home; she never had
seemed so beautiful. Then a swift
draught of cold air seemed to be stril-
ing his feet and ankles. She held some
flowers towards him and he tried to
take them, but could not lift his hand
or stir a muscle. She glided away,
melting into a vast bank Of orchids, but
when he essayed to follow his feet
seemed chained to the floor. He gave
a sudden cry OF terror as she vanished,
and his voice seemed to rebound from
the walls and ceiling, which appeared
to have contracted. Then he awoke and
found himself enveloped in such pro-
found darkness that he wondered if
his soul were released from his body
and adrift in space.
Great God!" he exclaimed. what
can this mean? Where am II"
He tried to recall his latest conscious
moments, but his brain seemed be-
nunbed. Everything was chaos. He
moved his hand, and felt clasp of
cold steel on his wrist. He heard a
chain rattle. Aghast- terrified ineffa-
bly--he moved the other hand. It, also,
was chained to the stones beneath him.
He attempted to draw up his feet. They,
too, were manacled.
Then he lev ra0tinrless and tried

Come on again interrupted the
count. ''I'lI explain it all VIXEN you get
TO place Of safety
When they reached the street Gielow
Jagged behind again.
Where are you going?" he asked,

The count lost patience, and putting
a hand en- each Of Gielow's shoulders,

row, you remember killing Can uthers!'
'Yes, the scoundrel," was the artists
slew reply. "Tes, killed hira''
Then come Oh, they are after YOU"
A look Of terror spread over Gielow's
visage. He quiclened lis steps, and to-
gether they turned into a dark, IN
frequented alley. Here a two-horse car
rage stood in the shadow Of a high
wall. A nan wearing SLOUGH hat,
and long fur ulster, the wide collar
of which hid the back part Of his head
and the lower half of hiE4 face, stood
near the vehicle whipping his body with
his arms to keep warm.
''Ah!" he exclaimed, and then an oath
broke from him.
'Sh!'' Kissed the count apologet ically.
II know we were slow, but it couldn't
be avoided"
The man continued to grumble, and
began to get his rcins ready.
Get in; get in!'' said Bantinni to
Gielow, and when the artist had obeyed
he leaned into the carriage and said:
s'You are sleepy. There, that's right;
lean back and sleep. Sleep! sleep!"
He's al right how, and We'll have no
more trouble, the count said, in con-
ciliatory tone, to the driver.

asked the man, with a foreign accent.

fight and confession will place us be-

NThe servant may never admit to the
police that his master confessed" said
the other, distrustfully.
I'm that event [ shall testify that the
confession was made in my presence;
then Henri will be obliged to swear to
what took place or run the risk Of be-
ing convicted of perjury''
"Ah, true!" answered the man: Gun
less you become afraid to face the
music, as they say in this country" 4
The count laughed as he climbed into
the carriage.
"We must hurry now" he said. "Whcn
you know what my next move is, you
will say that no human being On earth
could implicate me-
seat in more satisfied tone Il am
trusting it to YOU
AS Bantinni sat down by Gielow, the |
latter stirred and mattered something.
Sleep, sleep!" commanded the.
count, taking the limp hand Of the
artist and stroking il with his own.
there, that's right" And, as Gielow
leaned back in the corner again, the
carriage began to move. The count took
out cigarette, drew down the curtain,
struck match, and began to smoke.

Friends of the Two Islands Plan

And Precipitate a Crisis Without
Awaiting the Senate and
Administration.
Amendment May Be Tackled on
to the Diplomatic and Con-
sular Bill.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga special from
Washington says: Quiet negotiations
have been going on in the senate for
several days looking to q sensational
combination of the friends of both
Hawaii and Cuba, with the object in
view of precipitating a crisis on both
questions without waiting either for the
annexation treaty in the Pacific or the
slow movement of autonomy in the
Atlantic. Although the annexation
treaty is said not to command two
thirds Of the whole senate, it has in its
favor an undoubted majority, repre-.
senting all parties, and the same is
said to be true of Cuba. It is proposed,
therefore, to draft an amendment to
the diplomatic and consular appropria.
ton bill, containing, first, the entire
wording of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty, and secondly, q positive deolar.
alton that a state Of wal exists in the
island Of Cuba. A mere majority vote
would be sufficient to pass this amend.
ment. As it would be q part Of q gen.
eral appropriation bill. there would be

vent its consideration, and il passed by
