After Sprague had left him Sturgis
approached Detective Conltin, who
was still at his post.
Did Chatham show up while
was in there?" he asked, indicating
Murdock's house
"No. sir"
did you notice the man with whom
| | went in?'
Eyes. sir"
"Well. let Chatham 90 for the pres.
ent and stick close TO that man if he
stirs from ne house. | shall be back
In less than an hour"
"' ri0ht. sir"
When Sprague reached police head
| quarters he found the reporter ready
to start with four detectives. lie had
not. therefore. any opportunity for
conversation with his friend until the
| party reached its destination There
two of the detectives relieved the men
| previously on duty, while the others
accompanied Sturgs 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 tinkling echoes died
away. but no sign of life manifested
| itself from within. Then he seized
the pull and piled it again repeatedly
! and vigorously.
THAT will do" observed Sturgis.

"What old woman?" asked the de-
tective.

The detective placed his ear to the
| keyholc. After listening attentively,
| he turned TO the reporter with an in
credulous smile.
"Well, Mr.. Sturgis," said he, iii YOU

are sharper than mine. That's all /

the reporter, quietly. Now she is in
the second-story hall-and now you
can surely hear her coming down the

Fly this time, sure enough, the sound
of footsteps began to be audible TO the
other three men; and presently the
door opened and disclosed the scared

"Mister who. is it?"
Thomas Chatham. Show me the way

every well, said Murdoch; "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
he 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 ac-
complshing 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 ac-
tions, unimportantsa as they seemed at
the time, were unconsciously recorded
upon the reporters brain.
Murdoch opened the door of the ex-
tension and passed out of the room.
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 n
sardonic grin.
"More happy thoughts?" he in
quired.
Yes" answered Sturgis, calmly
folding the paper and slipping il into
the pocket of his coat.
Murdoch chucked to himself, as if
enjoying n 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 a flash, read
there some sinister purpose, which
caused him to hesitate, on his guard.
At that moment there came a knock
upon the hall door.
"Pshaw!" exclaimed Murdoch. there
comes an interruption, l suppose.
Please step downstairs; l 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. lie felt a
strong pressure from the outside, but
he knew he was master of the stu
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.

81 have just remembered an impor-
tant engagement" said Sturgis. I'M
ruflied. 81 fear, after all, that | shall

ly meeting his steady gaze.
All TINS had happened in the space
OF lew seconds Meanwhile the
knocking at the door was renewed.
