ing the astonished Office boy from 2
seat near thc telephone
"We must prepare Ko,a for our com-

our turnout approaching he may give
pc the slip. Think I can fx him by cali
hg him up a moment"
Good idea" remarked the sergeant,
and he and the doctor drew near the
telephone.
Hendricks rang and in a steady un-
concerned tone asked for the desired
connection. For a moment he stood
perfectly still, holding the receiver 10
his ear. then he laughed.
"Hello Kolal know your voice.

night. never closed my eyes once.
)h YOU needn't laugh. There's no fun
N that sort OF thing.
"What? Yes, he's upset too. de was

Use me to go ahead. II you have no

you still hold that ! ought TO drop the
natter i win do it.
"Whacs that2 A little louder pIease2
"Oh. yes, a thorough convert at last
shall never make sport of your phil-
5sopby again. Then we may come out
at once2'
And then, although the doctor was
within reach Of his hand, Hendricks
.aised his voice as If speaking to some
one in the next room.
"All right. doctor, he says we mag
,omc. III seEd down for cab
Imposing silence with a gesture of
.he hand, the detective led them into
he other room anG closed the door.
He's completely off his guard, and
ickled to death over my credulity
He'll be the worst surprised individual
hat ever looked down the barrel of a
six-shooter Now, to business. Wen
all three take the elevated to One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street. I'll tele-
phone for carriage to meet us there.
Doctor, make out an order for some
restoratiyes. Ia case Gielow Is alive we
will need them"
DR.. Lampkin penciled prescription,
and sent the Office boy to the nearest
drug store.
81 hope" he remarked TO Hendricks,
'tbat you are sure OF your ground in be-
iieving that Kola and Bantinni are iden-
teal"
"Oh, that's all right" grunted Hen
bricks You see, the count didn't
,0use Gielow TO disappear the very
aight got back without a reason. He
must have been keeping a close watch
on my movements and knew w'nen I re-
turned. Ny mother tells me that Kola
called TO ask about me every afternoon
during my absence, and he never let a
day slip during that time without drop
ping in this office. Why. every time he
came he saw his letter 10 me lying un-
opened on my desk. Oh, the whole
thing bears the imprint Of the Indian,
and / could make it clear to you If had
time Tn his role as psychic adviser to
the rich set he got acquainted with
their ways, and, being desirous Of get
ting rich suddenly, he resorted to the
Italian nobleman ruse. He felt that
knew him better than anyone else in
New York, and tried TO blow ae out Of
bis path. Failing in that, be may have
decided to let me exist awhile longer
bat wnen he had stained his hands with
human blood he became shaky and
made another trial at~oy windpipe."
AT this iuncture the Office boy re-
turned with the parcel for the doctor,
and they saw that he was accompanied
by Miss Huntington.
81 DO hope you wiz pardon my intru-
sion" she said, humbly. to Hendricks,
who had hastily risen 20 meet her, "but
Il seemed impossible to wait longer at
home. Won't you tell me If you have
made any progress2'
We've made some ID the right direc-
liou," said Hendricks, rehectiyeiy.
Come, SD down a moment You look
awfully cold You have met DR.. Lamp
Kin. and this Is Sergt Deuham, Of the
detective bureau. We are an working
tor you.
"Nou say you have done somethiug2"
;altered the young lady. as She sat down
lear the radiator "Oh l DO hope-I am
almost afraid TO ask"
In her agitation size seemed unable 10
,oncmde her remark.
"We know where Bautinni IS" ex.
planned Hendricks, and, as you know,
we have reasons-stroug reasons, in
fact. for believing that Mir Gielow was
ia his power only few days ago. You
uust not be TOO hopeful, however, for
you must realize that it would be
against Bautinni's interests TO allow
your friend TO live and be witness
against him, Pardon me for not be-
ing able TO put the situation before you
more dclicately, but 1 DO not want to
raise false hopes
They saw her shrink under the words
