he will find remains of Mr.. Weldon Caruth-
ers-currently reported for past two weeks
to be out of town Detective seems to con-

life some time previous. Goes with friend,
Dr. Lampkin, to investigate. Upon search

heireSS to several millions should she mar
ry Caruthers, Internationally in case of
Caruthers' death. Late that night Hen
bricks and Lampkin call at home of Miss
Huntington. Dorothy shows detective type
written letter, which was an invitation for
herself and aunt to occupy with Count
Bantinni Italian nobleman, his box at
horse show, as he was called out of town
by pressing business. She recalls Gielow
had expressed before murder intense ha-
tired for Caruthers and believes him guilty,
yet decides to help him, and with her aunt
goes to his studio. Gielow has fed. His
servant, Henri, tells of overhearing con-
fession to Bantinni. Henri thought his
master insane. Hendricks, concealed in
room, hears all this. Hendricks goes to
consult Kola, an East Indian interested in
occult researches who had helped him in
much previous detective work, and located
in an old colonial mansion among the pal
isades DR.. Lampkin is summoned by Hen
bricks, who has been shot. Bullet is re-
moved and detective warned not to leave

CHAPTER XIV.

At half after seven o'clock that even
ing Dr. Lampl1in 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 Lampkin that lie
had met with no success.
Its no good,'' said Hendricks, FUN
ing. Il can't get the slightest hint as
TO his whereabouts. They say he has
left the city, and there it ends
What are you going to do neXt?"
questioned Lampkin. This case is fret
ting the life out of me. Inever felt 50
much concern over anything in my
life"
Hendricks brows ran together and,
without making a reply, he went into
the adjoining room and Lampkin heard
him ring the telephone. There was
pause; then he heard the voice of the
detective calmly asking for the con-
nection. Then tensely:
is that Miss Huntington?
Pause of a moment. Then Hendricks
voice:
but you ought not to sit up there
like that. want to say that DR.. Lamp
kin and 1 are going out into the coun-
try, and that you need not expect to
hear from me again tonight"
Another pause, then the voice of the
detective broke the silence:
"Yes, really, 1 can tell you nothing
tonight. / am sorry to say that so far
/ have been unsuccessful, but while
there is life, you know, there is hope.
Then there was silence for moment
and Hendricks rang off. When he en-
tered the room he was white IL the face.
and his fat hands-the hands which had
frightened about the threats and wrists
of hundred cTiminals-were trem-
bling:
.'Old man." he said, 81 heard her fall
to the floor just now. / 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 1 never can wait for justice to
take its course. 1 am satisfied that he
is not only Gielow's abductor, but that
he is the man who has tried twice to do
me up in such cowardly fashion
Then Hendricks shook himself, as it
ashamed of his outburst, and leaned
back in the light of the green-shaded
lamp.

ington that you and were going out
into the country" said Lampkin. WAS
that only pretext?'

''The idea OF yx~r having Bible"
TESTED Kola, his eyes falling to the floor
Now, quick think of something-any-
thing in your office or DR.. Lampkin's."
Hendricks glanced at the doctor with
smile which seemed to say: 81 have

Kola. sect into your trance and bring
ma my Bible from home. I want to
read a chapter on my way back. You
can't mistake it. 1t is bound in Russian
leather and has gold and pearl trim
mings."
For moment Kola stood as if ur-
decided; then he went to the lounge and
threw himself on it.
'You will have to tell me where it is, -
he said. 81 confess that l know little
more when out of my body about ma
terial things than I do now. People,
like that fleeing artist, sometimes draw
me to them magnetically, but any in
animate thing is different. Where is
the book?"
Hendricks laughed.
''It is on the center table in the IL
brary, directly under the chandelier;
you can't miss it,"
Thanks" said the Indian. Now, DR.
Lampkin, when you hear the bell
strike, make an examination of my
body. Then when the bell strikes, five
minutes later, sit quiet and-and Mr.
Hendricks shall have his proof"
eff you do what you propose" said
Hendricks, still tauntingly, you will
make a convert of me, but mind, Kola
don't want any explanations about un-
favorable conditions preventing the
performance, or anything of that kind
1t won't go down.
Kola made no answer. The music
overhead had ceased. The clouds of in
cense had risen and lowered about the
red and yellow lights above. The In
dams breast heaved, as he took a deeI
breath, and then he lay still. Gradually
he grew paler and paler, till he looked
hke corpse. His features and limbs
were rigid. Hendricks up to this mo-
ment had been smiling at the absurdity
of Kola's proposal, but the earnestnes;
depicted on DR.. Lampkin's face finally
influenced him, and he grew strangely
quiet.
In about five minutes the bell over
head struck. There was a fragmentary
wave of soft music, and it died away il
the distance.

'Wait!" Kola turned to the crystal.
The music changed to weird air like
a Chinese funeral chant. After pause
of several minutes he looked up.
"The other night was reading the
crystal. 1 saw big hotel. A man was
murdered; his body was shipped off

"Rot! Rubbish" exclaimed Hen
bricks. ''You have been reading the
newspapers, Kola."
The face of the Indian darkened; ii
was terrible to behold. Turning off the
electric light, and covering up the crys-
tai as if to protect it from the profane
gaze of an unbeliever, he strobe from
the alcove and stood before Hendricks
