Minard Hendricks, great detective, just
returned from Boston, finds awaiting him
an unsigned typewriter letter directing
him to apartments in Palace hotel, where
he will find remains of Mr.. Weldon Caruth-
ers-currently reported for past two weeks
to be out of town. Detective seems to con-
meet letter with attempt made on his own
life some time previous. Goes with friend,
DR.. Lampkin, to investigate. Upon search
of Caruthers' apartments remains of Gre
mated body and jeweled hand of victim are
found in vase. Hand bears marks OF
finger nails manicured to sharp points.
Lampkin recalls reports of row between
Caruthers and Arthur Gielow, both suitors
for hand of Dorothy Huntington, who Is
heiress to several millions should she mar
Ty CarutherS Internationally in case OF
Caruthers' death. Late that night Hen
Sricks 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 nobIeman, his box at
horse show, he was called out of town
by pressing business. She recalls Gieaow
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 fled. 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
his room. Hendricks calls for a crematory
emplOye, who confirms the supp OSitfOn that
ashes found were those of human body.
Miss Huntington receives letter from Gle
low in his own handwriting, postmarked
at Charleston, 8. c., telling of his crime
and flight. Noted graphologist examines
Q handwriting of this letter and says 1t Is
genuine. During call on Sergt. Denham
9detective of police department. Hendricks
comes into possession of cuff with words
3 written in blood over Gielow's name to
effect that he was innocent. starving and
confined. Going to Gielow's studio, Hen
ri identifies cuff as his masters. Henri
etells of strange influence Bantinni had
over Gie1ow. Hendricks comes to conclu-
sion Bantinni was the murderer, and
through hypnotism made Gielow confess
both in person to Henri and by letters to
others.

''Wait!" Kola turned to the crystal.
The music changed to a weird air like
Chinese funeral chant. After pause
of several minutes he looked up.
''The other night 1 was reading the
crystal. 1 saw big hotel. A man was
murdered; his body was shipped off
somewhere in a trunk; its ashes were re-
turned by express and placed in an urn
together with a severed hand. The

The face of the Indian darkened; it

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.
When next he spoke his voice was
husky, tremulous, almost threatening.
''You doubt it?' he said. his accent

CHAPTER XIV.

AT half after seven o'clock that even
ing DR.. Lampkin 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, fum-
ing. ST 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. l never felt 50
much concern over anything in my
life"
Hendricks brows ran together and,
without making reply, he went into
the adjoining room and Lampkin heard
him ring the telephone. There was a
pause; then he heard the voice of the
detective calmly asking for the con-
nection. Then tensely:
as that Miss Huntington?
Pause of moment. Then Hendricks
voice:
but you ought not to sit up there
like that. I want to say that DIR. Lamp
kin and I are going out into the coun-
try, ando that you need not expect to
hear from me again tonight"
Another pause, then the voice of the
detective broke the silence:
Yes, really, I can tell you nothing
tonight. I am sorry TO say that SO far
I 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 in the face,
and his fat hands-the hands which had
frightened about the threats and wrists
of hundred criminals-weree trem-
bling.
old man." he said, ''I 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
human being.
Doctor" Hendricks added, 'if do
run across that dirty scamp, II am
afraid I never can wait for Justice to
take its course. am satisfied that he
is not onlyaGielow's abductor, but that
BE is the man who has tried twice to do
me up in sGch a.cowardly fashion,
Then Hendricks shook himself, as If
ashamed of his outburst, and leaned
back in the light of the green-shaded
lamp.
''I heard you telephone Miss Hunt
ington that you and were going out
into the country" said Lampkin. 'swas

AT EvENTIDE.
eezes are tucked to rest

The tired breezes are tucked to rest
In the c1oud-bedS far away,
The waves are pressed to the placid breast
OF the cleaning, dreaming bay;
The shore line swims in hazy heat.
Asleep In the sea and sky,
And the muffled beat where the breakers
meet
Is a soft. sweet lullaby.
The pine-clad hill has crimson crown
OF glittering sunset giows.
The roofs of brown in the distant town
Are bathed in a blush OF rose:
The radiant rlpples shine and shift
In shimmering shreds OF gold,
The seaweeds lift and browse and drift.
And the jellies fill and fold.
The great sun sinks. and the gray fog heaps
His cloak on the silent sea,
The night-wind creeps where the ocean
sleeps,
And the wavelets wake in glee;
Across the bay like a silver star
There wrinkles the harbor light,
And faint and far from the outer bar
The sea-birds call Good night.

Kola's face darkened again. For n
moment he bent over the back of one of
the carved chairs.
Hendricks" he began with tight lips.
You are a sensible man in most things

I am willing for you to put me to any

claims"
"Oh, haven't time just now for that

you about"

adept, "but it does not suit me to dis
cuss anything with you till you ac-

who had noted DR.. Lampkin's look of
intense interest in Kola's remarks
at IS this said Kola, impressively.
Il will give you the opportunity to
name any article at any distance from
us that you wish. Then I will recline
on that couch there, and after five min
