For a. moment the heiress stared,
speechless.
1T is indeed serious" went on the
detective, turning his uncomfortable
gaze on the doctor. "Bantinni is IN
doubtedly the guilty party, and Gle
low is the only witness against him. In
order to carry his point-of making it
appear that Gielow was guilty, and of
his own accord fugitive-he would
not hesitate to-"
"Oh, my God!" cried Miss Hunting
ton, covering her face.
IT'S there no course open?" asked
Lampkin, wrought to a painful height
of sympathy by Miss Huntington's emo
ton.
1T all depends on our capturing Ban
tinni and forcing him to reveal Gielow's
place of imprisonment" replied the de-
tective, "but that is more easily talked
about than accomplished. Already l
have turned every stone to trace him,
but without particle of success. He is
the deepest villain on earth. If his
own flight were questioned, he would
claim that he disappeared to keep from
bearing testimony against his friend,
Gielow"
Just then Henri passed through the
room, the advertisement in his hand.
Hendricks nodded after him as he dis
appeared.
II have sent him with Personal for

may bring us the young man who
picked it up. That. blockhead Denham
was too busy to question him, and now
he must be found by us. I now know
why Denham had no eyes or ears for
any other clews than the mysterious
ono of which he boosted. He has had
letter from Gielow such as Miss
Huntington received, and has had its
genuineness guaranteed by experts.
His fall will be great and sudden"
Hendricks rose.

said. thine is too valuable to spend It

The young lady stood up and leaned
on the back of her chair.
s"I shall sit near the telephone till l
hear" she said. "Please don't forget"
It looked as If Hend ricks was about
to object to that, but he shrugged his
shoulders, and, bowling low, moved
backward till he was out of the room,
and then they heard him walking rap
idly away.

CHAPTER XIV.

At half after seven o'clock that even

bricks at the latter's Office. Promptly
at the time set by the detective he bur-

glance it was plain to Lampkin that lie

questioned Lampkin. This case is fret
ting the life out of me. 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
pause; then he heard the voice of the
detective calmly asking for the con-
nection. Then tensely:
SIS that Miss Huntington
Pause of moment. Then Hendricks
voice:
"But you ought not to sit up there
like that. want to say that DR.. Lamp
kin and I 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, l can tell you nothing
tonight. l 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 il the face,
and his fat hands-the hands which had
frightened about the threats and wrists

bling
''Old man," he said, II heard her fall
to the floor just now. I heard her aunt

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. ~. - ~

Nothing could please me more"
II have ordered carriage4to meet US
at the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street elevated station. Come on, I'm
ready" %... 49,.
As the carriage, after having passed
through rather dense wood for about
half n mile, drew; up at the old brick
mansion with it's three and a half
stories and massive fluted columns
reaching from the ground to the rather
fiat roof, Lampkin remarked:
''Rather an isolated place. No bad
place for the gang Of robbers of which
you spoke"
1T just suits Kola, as said once be-
FORE" answered Hendricks, "By the
time his hoodwinked customers get here
they are prepared for anything i'm
aginative."
Telling the driver to wait for them at
the door they alighted. There was but
one light in sight and that was a dis
NAL red one which could be seen
through the old-fashioned side lights of
the big door on the stone veranda.
There was no bell on the door, but sim
ply quaint old knocker.
II WISH" observed Hendricks, that it
were day instead of night. You can
form no idea Of the picturesque rugged
ness of the scenery. You see we came
by the old road through the woods, but
just behind the house there is new
drive. At this point it has been cut
through solid stone, and there is cliff,
within 400 feet of us, over hundred
feet in height. In blasting the stone
away, it was thought that the old man
sion became unsafe, especially as it is
believed that there are caverns under
the hill.''
Hendricks mounted the steps and
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1899-06-23

used the knocker vigorously. The
clatter had scarcely died out when the
tones of a bell as soft and mellow as
cathedral chimes in the distance came
from the house.. ,@. 81 n 5
"Ko1a knows my rap and the bell is
q signal to his attendant to admit me- .
said Hendricks IF I make no mistake
you are going to be repaid for your ride
out here. In psychic tom-foolery and
mysticism you are schoolboy COM
pared to Kola. He imbibed it at the
dusky breast of al eastern mother, and
his very life is, stepped in it,"
The door was opened by an Indian in
the costume of his country. He placed
his finger on his lip to indicate that
they were to remain silent, and then
gave salaam that brought his turban
almost into contact with the floor.
II want to see your MASTER" whis-
pered Hendricks, handing him his card.
Again the man bowed silently, closed
the great door, and left them in the
spacious hall. With many and profuse
draperies, Kola had hung the walls and

oriental. The ornaments, scrolls, paint
ings and statues were all eastern, but
what struck Lampkin most forcibly,
perhaps because it was so i'll suited to
its environment, was dragon of carved
walnut, which stood at the foot of the
wide curving stairway.
''That belongs to the house." ex-
planned Hendricks in whisper. 1T is
genuine curiosity. The carving is ex-
cellent. One would think it of japanese
origin, but if you will notice, it is of the
same material as the balustrade, and
that must have been made in this coun-
try"
Just then the attendant glided from
between two heavy silken curtains, and
with another salaam, invited them to
pass before him. Doing so, they found
themselves in Kola's big recep tion-room.
Here their vision was given rare treat.
The lessee Of the old ruin had remoyed

the two floors above the. one on which
they stood, giving becoming altitude
to the walls, which were gracefully
draped with long flowing hangings of
different blending cloths. The ceiling
was disguised by q filmy mass of white
material, as gauzy as cobwebs, behind
which shone red and yellow lights, like
signal fires in 4 mist.
Lampkin almost uttered an exclama-
ton of delight, but the impressive man
ner of the attendant and Hendricks
unvonted silence checked the impulse.
The servant gave them seats with their
backs to the door through which they
had entered, and then he stood still in
the center of the room, his head bowed.
his turban held in front of him.
After a moment the .mellow-toned
bell, which they had heard before, and
which was suspended somewhere
among the lights overhead, struck three
times slowly. Then white light blazed
up and Kola was seen in hitherto dark
alcove. He wore his gray gown and
close-itting cowl, and was seen to be
pacing back and forth. Without SEEM
ing conscious of their presence so near
him, he picked up an unlighted electric
bulb and turned the button. Then
holding the light in his right hand, he
approached a black tripod over which
lay red cloth. He lifted the cloth, and
big polished crystal sphere was ex-
posed to view. 1t was about ten inches
in diameter and as clear as diamond.
Rejecting the dull, sensuous lights over
head, and the bright rays of the electric
bulb, it was certainly marvellous sight.
Still Kola seemed Unconscious of
their proximity. From the walls near
him the smoke Of incense began to rise,
a rosy light pervaded the room, and soft,
seductive music was heard somewhere
above.
Kola held the electric bulb over the
crystal and began to gaze into its
depths, uttering in sing-song tones
words of a strange tongue.

KOl-A TURNED FURlOUslY.

Lampkin heard the detective take 0
deep, impatient breath, and then his
voice Jared harshly through the room.
''Oh, say, Kola!" he demonstrated.
Il came out here the other day and had
to sit and watch you go through this
sort of thing till I was obliged to leave.
For the sake Of"
Kola turned furiously, his features
working wildly. Holding up his hand,
he said:

DR.. j. w. Gregg of Brattleboro took
out patent last week that was granted
last July on an egg holder and alarm
invented by him. The idea was sug-
gested in his practice by the difficulty of
getting properly boiled eggs for invalids
or where the albumen had not been rem
oered indigestible. His device insures
the cooking slowly and equally from
circumference to center and the ringing
of an alarm when it is done to notify the
cook. 1t consists simply of basket
resting on lower plate and with a
crooked rod on which hangs a bell.
Placing this device in water that is cold
or just warmed-boiling water means the
cooking of the white to indigestbillty-
the right amount of cooking will be done
when the water reaches the boiling point,
and the steam, which starts at the bot
tom, will then cause ebullition enough
to raise the basket and ring the bell.

Special schools are quite common now
a-days. Drawing, nurse training, cook
ing, sloyd work, and host of other lines
of industry, are taught entirely apart
from other branches. This well re.
cognlzed order of the day specializa-
tion-has for some years entered into
farming operations and several of the
agricultural colleges of the country have
conducted dairy schools. The main
function of these schools is to teach to
young men and women the science and
art of butter making, the Sc of various
kinds of dairy apparatus, the care and
handling of milk, including pasteuriza-
ton, the testing of milk, cream, etc., for
total solids, fat, acidity, taints, etc. A
school of this kind has been in operation
every winter for eight years at the
agricultural college of this state at Bur-
lington. Its ninth session will open on
Jan. 2 next. The course is free to YER
monters of both sexes. Not only the
professional creamery worker, but any
one who may wish to learn the newer
methods In dairying, is welcome. The
outfit of the school includes a dozen
worker, milk testing apparatus of all
kinds, etc. Three sets of lectures are
given, textbooks are used, system of
daily questions and answers and of final
examinations is carried out, and, in short,
modern butter dairying methods are the
topic for consideration for six DAYS in the
week for four weeks. Under the man.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER: WHY.

To the Editor of The Springfield Republican
The thing to be done now is to enforce au-
thority in the Philippines; to convince the
people of those islands that 1t is useless to
resist the United States. The FIlipinos should
be made to understand that. on this point,
the people of the United States are a unit.
When the instruction has been sup
pressed. the future of the islands can
be left to the wisdom of congress. 1t will
be proper then for the press and people to
aid congress in every way practicable to ar.
rive at a wise decision. For the present, the
only question is the establishment of the au
thority of the United states where it has been
defied.
