sciously following Murdocll's move
ments. His mind was bent upon ac-
comprising a 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 uEconsciOusly recorded
upon the reporters BRAIN.
Murdoch opened the door of the ex-
tension and passed out of the room.
Sturgis, watching his chance,
snatchcd 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 though.s?" he in
quired.
EYES," 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 .durdock, 'here
comes an interruption, I suppose.
Please step downstairs; / shall be
with you directly"
With these words he quietly but
firmly shored the reporter into the

most imperceptible hesitation; 81 have
already admired it."
"Indeed?" said Murdoch, arching his
brows in mild surprise.
Eyes; I stepped into the library for
a few minutes while ] was waiting for
YOU"
"Ah! yes; I see."
Murdoch gave the reporter another
searching look. Then he leant back
in his easy chair with half-closed eyes
and silently puffed away at his cigar
for few minutes.
Had Sturgis been able to read the
sinister thoughts which were passing
through the mind of this impassive
man as he sat apparently in lazy en-
joyment of his fragrant Havana, it is
probable that he might have lost some
of the interest which he seemed sud-
denly to have developed in the type
writer. But he was busy with his own
train of thought, and therefore was
not paying any particular attention to
Murdoch.
Presently the chemist spoke again:
ION second thoughts, Mr.. Sturgis, if
you will step into my laboratory I
shall be pleased to show you those of
the results of my recent researches
which are ready for publication"
The reporter was surprised at this
sudden change of front, and perhaps a,
tri1e 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.
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, Murd,ck turned a crank
which projected from the wall. A
grating sound we 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 Cor 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-

THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGE.
AS he reached the corner Sturgis
came upon Sprague, who was waiting
for car.
'Oh! I say, old man." exclaimed the
artist, hardly able to conceal his Ella
ton, 81 am glad to see you. I have
news to tell YOU

Sprague, surprised; "but do not go

said the reporter. 'You will probably

nearly five o'clock. Say at half-past

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

Murdock's house.

"Did you notice the man with whom
1 went in?"
Eyes, SIR
"Well. let Chatham go for the pres
ent and stick close to that man if he
stirs from the house. I shall be back
in less than an hour"
"All right, sill"
When Sprague reached police head
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.
It 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.

pushed forward the door.
Sturgis almost lost his balance, but
instinctively put out his foot between
the door and the jamb. He 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.
'What is it % he inquired.

tant engagement" said Sturgis, un-
ruff1ed. 81 fear, after all, that 1 shall
be unable to visit your laboratory at
present. I 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 servant ap-
peared.

Sturgis, picking up his hat and coat,
hurried from the house.
''Why did he want to shut me in

and over, and he could find no salts

Then he took from his pocket the
lines he had written on Murdock'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 unmistakable triumph.

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE EXTENSION.

A few minutes later Sturgis, APP
parently absorbed in the contempla-
ton of the paintings which hung in
the hall, heard the door of Murdock's
study open softly. Although the re-
porter did not turn his head, he at
once became conscious that the chem
lists piercing eyes were fixed upon
him. The observation lasted so long
that Sturgis, self-possessed as was his
wont, was beginning to feel a trifle
nervous, when at last DR.. Murdoch
broke the silence:
II have to apologize for leaving you
standing in the hall, Mr.. Sturgis. I
was under the impression that 1 had
invited you to step into the parlor."
The words, courteous in themselves,
conveyed to the nearer an impression
of biting sarcasm.
! II found the. parlor already occu-
pied; I hesitated to disturb tete-a-
tete," replied Sturgis, quietly.
Murdoch eyed him narrowly for a
moment, and then invited him into
the study.
The chemists study was q spacious
room, plainly but luXuriously fur
nished. and containing every conven-
fence and comfort calculated to light
en- the labor of busy man. The
table, Uttered with books and papers,
stood near a small safe and almost
directly opposite the hall door.
Speaking tubes and electric call but
tons were within reach of the occu-
pant of the easy chair, and probably
placed him in communication with
the various portions of the house
hold; while telephone on one side
and typewriter on the other showed
that the chemist kept in touch also
with the outside world.
Murdock's interlocutor, whoever he
had been, had disappeared. But how?
The question interested Sturgis, and
his mind at once began to seek an
answer to it.
There were three doors leading
from the study. One of these was the
one by which Murdoch and Sturgis
had just entered from the hall. No
one could have passed out that way
without meeting them.
Then there were the folding doors
leading into the library: but, as the
door leading from the library to the
hall had remained slightly ajar, Stur-
gis felt sure that he would have heard
the man had he gone out by that
way.
The third door led to small ex-
tension.
"He must have gone into the ex-
tension" thought Sturgis.
The only alternative was an exit
through the windows. This in itself
would not have presented any special
difficulty; for the distance to the
tagging below was hardly more than
12 or Is feet. But the yard, which
was of diminutive size on account of
the space allotted to the garden on
the street, was inclosed by an un-
usually high fence, protected by a
row of sharp and closely set spikes.
These looked so formidable that tho
thought of anyone attempting to
scale the fence instantly suggested
visions of impaled wretches writhing
in oriental fortunes. The only pos
sible exit from the yard, therefore,
seemed to be through the basement;
that is to say. past the kitchen and
the servants department..

WAIT TIL. HOME is FAR AWAY.

Perhaps you do not cherish now
The shadows of the trees
That fall assant the gravel walk;
Nor list tha evening breeze
That comes from out the shady wood
To put your mind to sleep:
Just wait till home is far away
These memories you'll keep.
The swallows nest beneath the caves
You pay nor mind nor heed;
The creaky-hinged. old garden gate
Is common-ifke. indeed:
The messy bucket in the well
Whose rim you've kissed 'aday,"
You do not care for it-but wait
/, Till home is far away.
Ah me! the silver locks that lean
Against the rocking-chair,
And hands a-wrink with grimy toll
Are knitting for you there.
You think you cherish them, my boy;
Just wait until you stray
Out in the world and find yourself
From mothers home away.
The corner where you set you down
When busy toll is DER,
You think it IL the Quietest
And awfully a r~re.
Some day your heart will turn against
The busy life so gay,
And then you'll wish your corner back
In sweet home, far away
No matter where you roam, my boy,
On sea or on the shore,
There is no welcome quite so dear
AS mothers opened door.
Remember, boy, you'll never miss
Her face until you stray
And find the long drawn miles that stretch
Tween you and home away.
