At about half after O'Clock that
evening tho figures Of two aged men
mounted the steps Of one OF the new
residences in West Thirteenth street,
near Eighth avenue
Farnhall himself met them at the
door.

with the doctor. II shall have TO leave

1T would be- Q genuine pleasure, +"
answered Hendricks; "but. a. I told you
the other day. I don't believe you can
succeed.
Farnhall looked little crestfallen.
"You don't think so1 And In case
fail suppose you won't let me help
you in the plans you have In view. Z"
Sorry. but it il impossible, said
the detective You see, we are in dis
guise, and il would not do to run the
risk Of adding another man. But shall
do all can toward recovering the miss

~ am sure Of that, said Farnhall
well, amuse yourselves a. well as yoa
can. II I fail. I'll let you know in
stantly"
BE sure to do that" cautioned
Hendricks II want to follow them as
soon as they leave the house"
Half an hour later Hendricks and
Lampkin heard the front doorbell ring.
The detective sprang 10 the door Of the
dining room, drew aside the curtain
and peered cautiously into the hall
Voices were heard exchanging greet
ings, and then they ceased as the draw
ing room door closed
Hendricks turned to his companion.
GOOD 80 fari" he calculated They
are all here, every one Of them. Twas
afraid some one would back out ON some
pretext or other.
An hour passed Not q word was
spoken by the two men. Hendricks sat
at the open fire, bis hands clasped over
bis knee. Suddenly he sprang up They
had heard the door Of the drawing
room open The hall was filed with the
sound Of footsteps and voices Then the
front door closed. and Farnhall came
into the room.
~ made an ass Of myself" he said.
"That fellow Ralph is young dare

short time and knocked my feet from

that l suspected one Of them to be
guilty Of the theft and he laughed st
the idea Of the papers having been
stolen. He said tho old man had simply
mislaid them and that they would turn
up all right
Hendricks did not seem to be listen
ing.
"Quick. toctorp' he said. I'VE must
be after them. Good night. Farnhall
/ did not think your scheme wenld
