1--WE are going out to Bantinni's place

1--WE are going out to Bantinni's place
at once. It is just above Fort Lee, on
the Jersey side. If we are fortunate
enough to find Mr.. Gielow still alive,
everything possible shall be done for
him. DR.. Lampkin 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.
1T may sound paradoxical," he said;
''but 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
Miss Huntington laid her hand on
Hendricks arm.
II am going to ask great favor" "she
said, tremulously. II want to go with
you. If he is-dead, I should like to be
there at once, you know, and if he is
alive, could help!"
Hendricks face fell. He glanced
obviously at the sergeant and DIR.
Lampkin, then his face slowly cleared
up.
II really don't see why you couldn't
co." he said. II have ordered closed
carriage to meet us at the elevated sta
ton. You could remain in the car
riage till we went in and made the ar
rest and then you certainly would come
in handy"
''Oh, you are so good!" she exclaimed.
"Please do not lose any time"

The HOnOrs of War,

Little Harry what is meant by
marching out with the honors of war !?
Pa-Well, for instance, if Tommy
Brown were to knock you down and
pummel you until you yelled "enough," :"
and then let you up and told you to 20
home and never step into his back yard
again, you would march off with the
honors of war. But if, instead of let
ting you up when you confessed you
were licked, he kept on pounding you
until somebody stopped him, then you
wouldn't get off with the honors of
war.
'But I wouldn't march off with the
honors of war anyway, if that's how
it's DONE"
'Why not?"
"'Cause when he let me- up and told
me to never step in his back yard again,
I'd git rock and swat him."-Cleve-
land Leader.

could explain to your driver out there
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 mystified by their un-
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 grea t
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. II

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 isten."
Kola's enjoyment seemed intense.
II don't want to hear anything from
you," he laughed. "Get ready"
Hendricks drew 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.
"Time's up" announced the Indian.
"Denham, jerk him backward" !"yelled
Hendricks, and, in the sudden shock OF
astonishment over the puzzling com
mand, the Indian involuntarily raised
his finger from the button, and the sit
uation seemed to flash upon Denham
Like a projectile 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 or
his feet. But, with his fingers digging
into the Indians throat, the sergeant
bore him backwards over the table. I1
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 thai
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 a pair of handouts from his

CHAPTER XIX.-CoNTINUED.

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
il 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," said Hendricks, reflectively.
"Come, sit down moment. You look
awfully cold. You have met DR.. Lamp
kin, and this is Sergt. Denham, of the
for you"
"You say you have done something?"
faltered the young lady, as she sat down
near the radiator. ''Oh, l do hope-d am
almost afraid to ask"
In her agitation she seemed unable to
conclude her remark.
1--WE know where Bantinni u.s." ex-
planned Hendricks, land, as you know,
we have reasons-strong reasons, i'll
fact, for believing that Mr.. Gielow was
ia his power only few days ago. Yon
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 witness
against him. Pardon me for not be-
ing able to put the situation before you
more delicately, but I do not want to
raise false hopes"
They saw her shrink. under the words
like flower placed before the open door
OF q furnace. She said nothing. Hen
bricks bit his lip and pulled his beard as
e angry at himself. He tried to throw a
more hopeful ring into his tones as he

"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. "Ha
thought, as most murderers do, that
his secret was we'll guarded"
They searched through all the rooms
of the cellar, and then Hendricks
stopped.
I'VE are losing time," he grunted, in
disappointment. II believe Kola told
the truth about his being the only one
who knows the secret of Gielow's hid
ing-place. am also sure that Gielow
is somewhere under ground. We have
seen one cavern, and it is not unlikely
that there are others. It has long been
believed that they are under this hill.
Can't you think of some plan to wiring
the truth from that imp?"
They had paused before the door OF
Little room where 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 filed with all sorts of
| bottles.

mo, 1 cannot tell you what to do. All! I
have an idea."
The doctor took down bottle and
read the label and then uncorked it and
applied it to his nose.
'Ether," he said. "This bottle re-
minds me of an experiment once saw

was made to confess under the influence

Bring it upstairs, for the love of
mercy" cried the detective. "It cant do
any HARM"
AS they entered the reception-room
Kola's questioning glance became fixed
on the bottle in the doctors hand.
'Huh!" he grunted, you need not try
to give me that. won't take it,
Find me towel, Hendricks" was all
the doctor said. He spoke like de-
termined man who is thoroughly angry.
Hendricks darted into a bathroom
near by and returned with the required
article.
''Now lay his lordship on the foor,'
the doctor said.
! Kola wriggled like an eel, but, with
Hendricks at his head and Sergt.
Denham's determined hands at his feet
they soon had him laid out. DR.. Lamp.
kin folded the towel into the shape of a
funnel and saturated it with the fluid
from the bottle. Then he started to put
it over Kola's mouth and nose.
"Hold on, give him one more chance 81
! ordered Hendricks. "Where is Gielow,
Kola?"
The only answer the Indian made was
to close his lips tightly.
"The devil is trying to hold his
breath!" cried Lampkin. "Ill show
him trick that will beat that. can
make him take it,
l. 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. y
