And then. although: the doctor was
within reach of his hand, Hendricks
raised his voice as if speaking to some
one in the next room. - #.
,''All right, doctor, he says we may
come. I'll send down for cab"
Imposing silence with a gesture Of
the hand, the detective led them into

Hes completely off his guard, and
tickled to death over my credulity.
He'll be the worst surprised individual

will need them"
DR.. Lampl5in, penciled a prescription,
and sent the office boy to the nearest
drug store. -
II hope" he remarked to Hendricks,
shat you are sure of your ground in be-
lieving that Kola and Bantinni are iden=
tical.',
ooh, that's all right" grunted Hen
bricks. "You see, the count didn't
cause Gielow to- disappear the very
night I got back without reason. He
must have been keeping close watch
on my movements and knew when I re-
turned. My mother tells me that Kola
called to ask about me every afternoon
during my absence, and he never let a
day slip during that time without drop
ping in this Office. Why, every time he
came he saw his letter to me lying I'M
opened on my desk. Oh, the whole
thing bears the imprint of the Indian,
and could make it clear to you if had
time. In his role as psychic adviser to
the rich set he got acquainted with
their ways, and, being DESTROYS of get
ting rich suddenly, he resorted to the
italian nobleman ruse. He felt that /
knew him better than anyone else in
New York, and tried to blow me out of
his path. Failing in that, he may have
decided to let me exist awhile longer,
but when he had stained his hands with
human blood he became shaky and
made another trial at my windpipe."
At this juncture the office boy re-
turned with the parcel for the doctor,
and they saw that he was accompanied
by Miss Huntington.
II do hope you will pardon my intru-
sion," she said, humbly, to Hendricks,
who had hastily risen to meet her, ''but
1t seemed impossible to wait longer at
home. Won't you tell me if you have
made any progress?"
We've made some in the right direc-
tion,"l said Hendricks, refectively.
"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" .-2
"You say you have done something's"
faltered the young lady, as she sat down
near the radiator. "Oh, I do hope-1 am
almost afraid to ask"
In her agitation she seemed unable to
conclude her remark. j..
"We know where Bantinni u.s." e1-
planned Hendricks, land, as you know,
we have reasons-strong reasons, In
fact, for believing that Mr.. Gielow was
in his power only few days ago. You
must not be too hopeful, however, for
you must realize that it would be
against Bantinni's interests to allow
your friend to live and be a witness
against him. Pardon me for not be-
ing able to put the situation before you
