''All wanted to tell you-and you are
the first to hear of it's the, to me,
rather important fact that l am en-
gagged to be married"
You area" exclaimed Sturgis, with
genuine pleasure. Il congratulate you,
old fellow, from the bottom of my
hearth
He seized the artists hand and SHOOK
it in his hearty grasp.
/ "To the original of the picture you
wanted to show me yesterday" he
asked.
"Yes."
"Then she was not betrothed to the
other fellow, after all?"
'No; that seems to have been mis-
take"
Il am glad of that, very glad" said
the reporter. "By the way, you have
not yet told me the young lady's
name.''
ct thought I had mentioned it yes
terday morning. Didn't I? No? My
fancee is Miss Murdoch
At the sound of this name Sturgis
started visibly, and shadow crossed
his features.
Miss Murdock?" he echoed.
Eyes, said Sprague. what is it?
You do not seem pleased"
Then, as sudden thought struck
him: E
Il hope 1 am not treading on your
toes, old fellow" he said, putting his
hand gently upon his friends Shout
der and trying to read his thought in
his clear gray eyes. ''But how absurd!
Of course you cannot be rival for
Miss Murdock's affections, since you
do not even know her"
"No," laughed Sturgis, regaining his
composure, II am not your rival. AS to
the other point. while I can hardly
claim an acquaintance with the young
lady, think saw her not more than
a couple of hours ago." .......-..
"a couple of hours ago!" exclaimed
Sprague; why, was with her myself

II know that now, although I was
not aware of it at the time
'What, were you at the Murdocks' at
the same time as I WASP" asked
Sprague, surprised.
II had just come from there when
I met you. I was in Murdock's study
while you were-er-busy in the par

replied Sturgis, "and perhaps is min.
utes more in the hall, while Nu1dock
was engaged"
81 suppose Chatham was still with
him?" unused Sprague.
Sturgis started at the name.
"Chatham!" he ejaculated; what do
you know about Chatham?"
''What, are you interested in Chat
ham," asked the artist, curiously. Il
know very little about him, only that
he is one of my disappointed rivals"
porter what he knew of Chatham's
suit.
Sturgis listened with deep attention
to his friends narrative, and Illuminated
in silence long after the artist had
ceased speaking.
At last he started up with sudden
exclamation, and, walking over to the
side of the tank, he looked into the
depths of it's oily contents, as if fas-
Fcinated by some horrible thing he saw
there.
Sprague came and stood beside him
and gazed curiously into the viscous
liquid. There was nothing there that
he could see.
"What is it 2" he asked.
Without replying, sturgis took from
his pocket bone-handled knife and
carefully dipped one end of the handle
into the fluid in the leaden tank. At
once the liquid began to seethe and
boil, giving out dark, pungent fumes.
81 thought so,' muttered the re-
porter, under his breath; that man is
truly genius-the genius of evil"
"Nho?" asked Sprague.
Sturgis made no reply. His eyes
were wandering about the room, as it
in search of something.
''Hand me a couple of those long
glass tubes from that shelf yonder,'
he said, earnestly.
The artist complied with the request.
Dipping these tubes into the oily
liquid, Sturgis, after considerable diff
Guilty, managed to seize with them a
small dark object which lay at the bot
tom of the tank. With infinite precau-
ton he brought it to the surface. 1t
had the appearance of flattened lead
en- bullet.
"What is it?" inquired Sprague.
"Sit down." answered Sturgis, in n
low, tense voice. II have just found
the last link which completes my chain
of evidence; am now prepared to tell
you such Il story as you will scarcely
credit, even with the absolute proofs
before your eyes"

"That will do" observed Sturgis,
presently; "the old woman is coming

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

The detective placed his ear to the
keyhole. After listening attentively
he turned to the reporter with an in
credulous smile.

are sharper than mine. That's all l

''She is on the second fight" replied
the reporter, quietly. snow she is in
the second-story hall-and now you
can surely hear her coming down the
last flight
By 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
face of an old Irish woman.

At the mention of the police, the old
hag's parchment face became shade

after a short interval; 'but yez can

Whereupon she turned and hobbled

They found themselves in narrow

opening of some kind. After that, all
that remained was to notice that one
OF the shelves was slightly soiled in
just one spot, as though by the re-
peated contact of hand. From this,
urgued that the bolt must be attached
to this board. And it was. That is all"
AS he spoke, the reporter entered
dark and narrow passage.
Don't shut the door," said he to his
companion, who followed him.
At that moment, however, the artist
stumbled; and, instinctivsly holding
out his hands to save himself from fall
ing, he released his hold of the door,
which closed with slam.
''That is unfortunate" said Sturgis;
''we may have to lose some time in
learning how to work the bolt from
this side. Hold on; it will be prudent
to keep open line of retreat, in case
of unforeseen emergencies. Hello! we
are in luck. Nothing concealed on this
side; the bolt in plain sight; works
easily. All's well. Then let us go on;
unless am greatly mistaken, we shall
find another exit on the other side"
After following the underground
passage for some distance the men
climbed some steps and reached a
square chamber, on one side of which
rose a stairway leading to door
above. The room was surmounted by a
skylight, which was wide open, admit
ting a draught of cold air from the
outside.
Sturgis set down his lighted candle
and proceeded to examine his sur
roundings. In the middle of the room
stood a truck, upon which lay a long
pine box. a table and chair consti-
tuted the only furniture of the place.
At one side there was a long, low,
lead-lined tank, filled to the depth of
about two feet with dark viscous
boys. In the floor there was what
seemed to be a hot-air register, of large
size and of peculiar construction. The
walls were bare, unbroken, save by the
projection of the mouthpiece of a
speaking tube, and by a set of shelves
filled with TASKS, crucibles, alembics
and the other paraphernalia of a chem
lists laboratory.
After the reporter had finished re-
connoitering he sat down upon the
long box in deep thought. Sprague OBJ
served him with silent curiosity for
awhile, and then, with growing impa-
tience:
II say, old man" he ventured at last
to ask, "did you bring me here, armed
to the teeth, to see you go off into a
trance?"
Sturgis started like man suddenly
awakened from q deep sleep. aF
"Eh? What? Oh, yes-those conf
dences. Well, you start in with yours.
I am trying to find the denouement of
my story. I feel that it is just within
my grasp; and yet I cannot seem to
see it yet But can listen to you while
I am thinking. Go on r.#

Sprague, somewhat offended at his

he had to say.
