Eve are going out to Bantinni's place
at once. 1t is just ADORE Fort Lee, on
the Jersey side. If we are fortunate
enough to find Mr.. GieIow still alive,
everything possible shall be done for
him. DR.. LampIin has already sent for
the necessary medicines. We were Just
getting ready to start"
"Have you yourself any hope that
Mr.. Gielow may be found alive?" asked
the young lady as she rose.
Hendricks looked down.
ut may sound paradoxical," he said;
but l base my hopes in regard to his
fate on his statement, made perhaps
two days ago, that he was starving"
"Oh, don't say that!" cried Miss
Huntington.
You see, went on Hendricks, as they
all moved towards the door, "Bantinni
placed him in confinement for a pur-
pose. If he had not desired that Gle
low should be kept alive for awhile he
would have put him out of the way at
once. 1t looks as if the count intended
to let him live for awhile and has for
gotten to give him attention.
Miss Huntington laid her hand on

said, TREMENDOUSLY. Il want to go with
you. If he is-dead, Ishould like to be

AT this junoture the office boy re-

and they saw that he was accompanied
by Miss Huntington.
Il do hope you will pardon my intru-

who had hastily risen to meet her, but
il seemed impossible to wait longer al
home. Won't you tell me if you have
made any progress"
We've made some in the right direc-

Come, sit down moment. You look
awfully cold. You have met DR.. Lamp
kin, and this is Sergt. Denham, of the
detective bureau We are all working
for YOU"
You say you lave done something?
faltered the yourg lady, as she sat down
near the radiator. "Oh. L do hope am

In her agitation she seemed unable to

that an accident had happened, and no
one would think of blaming me-
Then, although their eyes were glued
to Kola's sinister face, they OBJ
served the silk curtains behind the In
dian stir as from breeze, then the cur
tains parted cautiously, and Sergt.
Denham peered in. They saw from
the wondering gaze of his wide-open
eyes that he was mystifed by their I'M
expected silence, their white faces, and
the half-crouching attitude of the In
dian as he leaned over the table, his
stiff fingers on the button. Like a
flash plan of action came to Hendricks,
and its subtility was worthy of his great
intellect. The words he called out the
next instant he hoped would stay the
death touch of the murderer and fur
nish key to their predicament to Den
ham.
Hold one second!" he cried. Il

kola. We are completely in your pow
er. | know that when you press that
electric button we shall be hurled into
the pit below, but you must listen
Kola's enjoyment seemed intense.
L don't want to hear anything from
you" he laughed. Get ready"
Hendricks drew a deep breath. The
most startling feature of the situation
was that Denham did not seem to COM
prehend their peril. He half smiled as
if he thought Hendricks were playing
one of his practical jokes on his man
before arresting him.
Times up" announced the Indian.
"Denham, jerk him backward" yelled
Hendricks, and, in the sudden shock OF
establishment over the pulling COM
mand, the Indian invoiuntarily raised
his finger from the button, and the sit
uatiOn seemed to flash upon Denham.
Like projectie hurled from some
powerful destroying machine he sprang
at Kola. He caught him by the throat
and pulled him over the back of his
chair. Hendricks sprang from the
rug, dragging the almost inactive doc
tor with him. Kola wriggled in Den
hams clutch and managed to get on
his feet. But, with his fingers digging
into the Indians throat, the sergeant
bore him backwards over the table. In
the struggle Kola's shoulder pressed
down on the electric button. There
was crash of timbers under the lounge
just vacated, and with a dull, subter-
ranean rumble the flooring over that
spot disappeared in a yawning black
hole.
Hendricks was beside himself with
rage as he lowered over the now pas
sive Indian.
"Oh, you dirty scamp!" he calculated.
He took pair of handouts from his

He was genuine son of Ireland, and
as he worked painting the fence his
face wore a troubled look. Suddenly
a smile shot across his cOuntenance,
and hastily dipping the brush into the
paint pot he began to paint faster and
faster.

In the basement they found nothing
of note except trunk bearing the in

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 deep
pit.

he turned away. He pointed to some
large steel vessels and two large cop
per cylinders such as are used for MAX
ing lime light in the theaters.
That's where he cremated the body
section by section" he said. 'He
thought, as most murderers do, that
his secret was well guarded"
They searched through all the rooms
Of the cellar, and then Hendricks
stopped.
"We are losing time," he grunted, in
disappointment. Il believe Kola told
the truth about his being the only one
who knows the secret of Gielow's hid

that there are others. 1t has long been

Can't you think of some plan to wiring
the truth from that imp?"
They had paused before the door of
a little room where a dim light shone
over the transom. Lampkin 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

As they entered the reception-room

The only answer the Indian made was
to close his lips tightly.
''The devil is trying to hold his
BREATH" cried Lampllin. ''I1l show

make him take it."
And, holding the towel over Kola's
nose with his left hand, he began to
punch him violently in the chest. This
proceeding made the Indian gasp for
breath, and forced him to take deep
draughts of the ether.
