door. 1t was Miss huntingdon: She
was alone, and implored me tosiet her
talk to me. She came in and sat down
by me, and told me all about her great
trouble. Then she begged me to let
her wait here till you came home, so
that she might know if you had found
out anything since she heard from you.
She has just left, l persuaded her to go
back. She is such a sweet young lady.
She put her head in my lap and when
she began to cry couldn't help doing

She followed him to the foot of thu

In about five minutes the bell over
head struck. There was fra gnhe Il tary
wave of soft music, and it died awslv IN
the distance.
Lampkin glanced at Hendricks and
mutely approached Kola and bent over
him. He opened his vest and shirt and
made an examination of his respiration
and heart. When he looked again at
Hendricks his face was almost pale.

But Lampkin only shook his head.
"How could he have succeeded if you
had named something else 2" he ques-
toned. IF he had been able to bring
anything you had mentioned sh ould
have considered it miraculous. You
know we members of the Physical Re-

poses in thousand years.. He tried to
back out when mentioned the Bible"
just hen they heard a strain of far
of music like that which had followed
the stroke of the bell, and then the
room suddenly became absolutely dark.
The music ceased; the solemn-toned bell
struck: At that instant the detective
felt something placed in his hands, and
the lights flashed'up. -.

lively, and then he simply stared at the
rigid face of his friend. Hendricks
made an effort to smile, but his features

Kola made no answer. The music
overhead had ceased. The clouds of in
cense had risen and lowered about the
red and yellow lights above. The In
dams breast heaved, as he took deep

! he grew paler and paler, till he looked
like corpse. His features and limbs

of Kola's proposal, but the earnestness
depicted ON DR.. Lampkin's face finally
influenced him, and he grew strangely
quiet.
