trife suspicious, for he was beginning
to weld together many hitherto iso-
lated facts into strong chain which
was leading him from the Knicker-
booker bank and Chatham, through the
Manhattan Chemical company, to the
emotionless man in whose presence he
now stood. Some important links
were missing, however, and Sturgis
could not afford to lose any chance of
making the chain complete.
He therefore accepted Murdock's in
vitation, in the hope of making some
discovery which would throw positive
light upon the somewhat hazy situa-
ton.
Every well,' said Murdock; wait for
me just one minute while open the
ventilators Of the laboratory. 1t be-
comes pretty close in there when the
place has been shut up for some time
So saying, Murdoch turned crank
which projected from the wall. A
grating sound was heard, as of the
rasping of metal upon metal. Then
ne returned to his desk, where he
busted himself for few minutes under
pretext of looking for some notes of
his experiments. When apparently he
had found what he was seeking he
went toward the door of the extern
sion. This was of massive hard wood.
Before turning the knob, the chemist
stopped as though to examine the
lower hinge. Sturgis was not con-
sciously following Murdock's move
ments. His mind was bent upon &C
complishing certain object; and. with
that end in view, he was gradually
drawing nearer to the typewriter. But
so accustomed was he to receiving de-
tailed impressions of all that occurred
before his eyes, that the chemists &C
tons, unimportant as they seemed at
the time, were unconsciously recorded
upon the reporters brain.
Xurdock opened the door of the e.

THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGE

THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGE
AS he reached the corner Sturg,!
came upon Sprague, who was waiting
for a car.

Sprague readily consented to &C.
company his friend.
''By the way" inquired sturgis
shave you any weapons?'
"Any quantity of them among the
properties of the studio,' replied
Sprague, surprised; "but | do not go
about armed in broad dwight"
"You would better have revolver
said the reporter. "You will probably
have no occasion to use it," he added
in answer to his friends glance, "but
it is best to be on the safe side
every well; 1 shall go home for one.
Where am / to meet you?"
"At police headquarters in about
half an hour. Let me see; it is now
nearly five o'clock. Say at half-past
five. It will be necessary to obtain a
couple of warrants and the help of
the police before we start
After Sprague had left him Sturgis
approached Detective Conklin, who
was still at his post.
"Did Chatham show up while
was in there?" he asked, indicating
Murdock's house.
mo, sir"
''Did you notice the man with whom
I went in?"
Eyes, sir
"Well. let Chatham go for the pres
ent and stick close to that man if he
stirs from the house. 1 shall be back
in less than an hour"
"All right. SIR
When Sprague reached police head
quarters he found the reporter ready
to start with four detectives. He had
not, therefore, any opportunity for
conversat ton with his friend until the
party reached it's destination. There
two of the detectives relieved the men
previously on duty. while the others
accompan MED Sturgis and Sprague to
the office of the Manhattan Chemical
company.
1t was after six o'clock. The place
was closed for the night and seemed
quite deserted. One of the men rang
the bell. The tinl1ling echoes died
away, but no sign of life manifested
itself from within. Then he seized
the pull and piled it again repeatedly
and vigoro usly.

sturgis, watching his chance.
snatched up sheet OF paper from
the table, inserted it in the typewriter
and ratified off something as fast as
he could. Looking up when he had
finished he saw that Murdoch had re-
turned and was observing him with a
sardonic grin.
"More happy thoughts?" he in
quired.
YES" answered Sturgis, calmly
folding the paper and slipping it into
the pocket of his coat.
Murdoch chuckled to himself, as if
enjoying quiet joke.
WELL said he, IF you will do me
the honor, we can step down into the
laboratory
Sturgis nodded and went toward
the door which Murdoch held open.
As he passed the chemist the reporter
caught his eye and, in flash, read
there some sinister purpose, which
caused him to hesitate, on his guard.
At that moment there came knock
upon the hall door.
''Pshaw!" exclaimed Murdoch. "here
comes an Interruption, l suppose.
Please step downstairs; 1 shall be
with you directly"
With these words he quietly but
firmly showed the reporter into the
extension and, with a rapid motion,
pushed forward the door.
Sturgis almost lost his balance, but
instinctively put out his foot between
the door and the jamb. He felt q
strong pressure from the outside, but
he knew he was master of the situ-
alton and patiently bided his time.
Presently the pressure ceased and he
was able to open the door.
Murdoch wore an air of panied sur
prise.
what is it?" he inquired.
81 have just remembered an impor-
tant engagement" said Sturgis, I'M
ruffled. II fear. after all, that shall
be unable to visit your laboratory at
present. l hope, however, that the
pleasure is only postponed for short
time"
II hope so,' replied Murdoch, calm
ly meeting his steady gaze.
All this had happened in the space
of few seconds. Meanwhile the
knocking at the door was renewed.
Come in" said Murdoch, moving
toward his easy-chair.
The door opened and a servant APP
peared.
"Plaze, sur, Miss Agnes wud loike
ter know kin yer resarve her sum
tonne this afthernoon?"
Eyes, Mary; tell Miss Agnes shall
be in all the rest of the afternoon,
and that I shall be at her disposal at
any time
Sturgis, picking up his hat and coat,
hurried from the house.
"Why did he want to shut me in
the extension?' he asked himself over
and over, and he could find no salts
factory answer to the question.
Then he took from his pocket the
lines he had written on Murdoch S
typewriter and compared them care
fully with those on the sheet which
he had laboriously pieced together in
the knickerbocker bank on the previ--
GUS day.
The result of the examination was
apparently satisfactorily: for, when
Sturgis returned the papers to his
pocket, his face wore an expression OF
calm but unmistakabie triumph.
