trifle suspicious, for he was beginning
to weld together many hitherto iso-
lated facts into a 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.

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 a 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-
comprising 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, unimportant as they seemed at
the time, were unconsciously recorded
upon the reporters brain.

AS he reached the corner Sturgis
came upon Sprague, who was waiting
for u car.

''By the way" inquired sturgis,

"Any quantity of them among the
properties of the studio" replied
Sprague, surprised; "but 1 do not go
about armed in broad daylight"
"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"

''At police headquarters in about
half an hour. Let me see; it Is now
nearly five o'clock. Say at half-past

After Sprague had left him Sturgis
approached Detective Conklin, who
was still at his post.

quarters he found the reporter ready
to start with four detectives. He 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 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 tinkling echoes died
away, but no sign of life manifested
itself from within. Then he seized
the pull and piled It again repeatedly

tension and passed out of the room.
Sturgis, watching his chance,
snatched up a 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
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 nail door.
"Pshaw!" exclaimed Murdoch, "here
comes an interruption, suppose.
Please step downstairs; I shall be
with you directly"
With these words he quietly but
firmly showed the reporter into tho
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 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.

be unable to visit your laboratory at
present. 1 hope, however, that the
pleasure is only postponed for a short
time"
, 81 hope So" replied Murdoch, calm
ly meeting his steady gaze.
All this had happened in the space
of Il few seconds. Meanwhile the
knocking at the door was renewed.
"Come in," said Murdoch, moving
toward his easy-chair.
The door opened and q servant ap-
peared.

eyes, Mary; tell Miss Agnes I shall
be in all the rest of the afternoon,
and that 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 3
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 unmistakable triumph.

How to Serve Poached Eggs.

Break an egg carefully into coffee
cup, and sprinkle it lightly with salt
and pepper. Have ready small stew
pan containing some boiling beef tea
which has been nicely seasoned. Care
fully slip the egg into the pan and
poach it in the usual way. When 1t
is done place it on rather thick round
of buttered toast. Thicken a small
quantity of beef tea quickly with q
little corn -four, and pour it over the
egg. ,
Another way of serving poached
egg is rs follows: Break new-laid
egg into buttered teacup, season it
with salt and pepper, and place the
cup in stewpan containing sufficient
boiling water to reach rather more
than halfway up the cup. As soon
as the egg is set, turn.it carefully onto
a piece of hot buttered toast. While
the egg is cooking boil small guam
tity of cream in a saucepan, season it
with little celery. salt and pepper,
and add teaspoonful of chopped
parsley to it; pour the cream over the
egg and serve at once. A small hot
water plate, with a cover, should be
used for all hot dishes sent to the in
valid's room, and remember that the
cover should be heated as we'll as the
plate.

How to Prepare Parsley.

Although mincel parsley is required
for so many dishes, both as seasoning
and garnish, it is not every cook who
knows how to prepare it. Only the
fresh green pieces should be selected,
aud these should be tied in a bunch
and blauched in boiling water aud
then separated and dried thoroughly
in a cloth before being chopped with
a sharp knife. If the parsley is in
sufficiently dried, the leaves will stick
together, and it will be impossible to
mince them finely, and much OF the
Juice will be lost. To pry parsley
successfully, wash it we'll and divide
it into small sprigs, then shake it in a
cloth to free it from moisture and fold
it lightly in dry cloth and leave it
until it is quite dry. Prepare a bath
of boiling fat, throw the parsley into
it, and if it has been properly dried it
will become crisp at once. 1t must
not be allowed to remain in the fat
after it is crisp, or it will turn brown

The Flavor of Meats.

After an experience of several years
with all sorts OF meats am come TO
the conclusion that the flavor is de-
rived from the bone and not from the
flesh. For example: Cut from
Young chicken that part of the breast
covering the wish-bone; remove the
bone and broil with butter, adding q
few strips of bacon. Serve to your
guest as "ruRe.l grouse" or what we
indis scriminately call partridge, and he
will think you have returned from the
woods after n successful week with
live game. In another dish serve a
breast cooked with the wish-boae in,
and he will say "chicken. A beef
steak bro;led with the bone in has All
entirely different taste from one
broiled with the bone out. Try 1t.
Bevond doubt everything is bred IN
the bone. What makes the shad SO
delicious? The bone.-Yictor Smith.

add it to half a cupful of buttermilS

add two te.spoonfuls of cinnamon,
half teaspoon:ul of cloves and one

man. "And the majority of them are
little girls, who, while pretending to

stranger in town, such as myself, can
not help being struck by condition

They don't inspire any pity, for they
are such insistent little beggars. They
will follow you for half block with
their whining appeals, and when you
lose patience they open up on you with
a food of impudence ard even pro-
