GRIEVE, BISSET & HOLLAND

That was all, but it was a good deal. Grenier looked up with lackluster eyes. He was almost fainting
 ''Send him away" he murmured ''There is nothing to be done. In the morning.
 Mason saw that his ally was nearly exhausted by the reaction. He grin. ned and cursed
 "Of all the chicken hearted"-
 But he went and dismissed the boy. Grenier threw himself at full length on a sofa.
 What's up now?" demanded Mason, finding him prone.
 "Wait-just a little while-untll my heart stops galloping That confound- ed knock! It jared my spine."
 "Take some more brandy"
 How can IT It is Impossible. taven't got an OK head, like you"
 Mason placed the lamp on central table. Its rays fell on Philips hat. Something In its appearance caught the mans eye. He picked up the hat l and examined it critically.
 DO you know" he said, after a si- lence broken only by Grenier's deep breathing. T fancy I didn't kill him, after all"
 "Not-kill him? why-he was dead in that chalr-for an hour"
 Perhaps. hit hard enough, but this hat must have taken some of 1t. When you were busy. I thought bis chest heaved slightly. And just now when I carried him outside he seemed to move"
 "RotT'
 "It may be. I struck very hard.r
 Grenier sat up.
 "Even if you are right he mutter- ed. it does not matter. He fell 300 feet. The fall alone would kill him. And if he Is drowned and the body Is picked up 1t is better so. Don't you see? Even If be were recognized he would be drowned, not-not- We'll. his death would be due to natural causes"
 He could not bring himself to say murdered" an ugly word
 "If you were not such a mIlksop. there would bc no fear of his being recognized"
 But Grenier laughed a hollow and unconvincing laugh. Nevertheless it was a sign of recovery.
 "What nonsense we are talkiugi A naked man. floating dead in the North sea Who is hel Not Philip Anson surelyi Philip AnsOn is gayly gaddIng about England on his private affairs. Where Is Greeni Hunter. go and tell Green to bring my traps here instantly. I wish him to return to town on an urgent errand."
 There wss a glint of admiration in Mason-s eyes Here was one with An sons face. wearing AnsOn's clothes and addressing him Ia Anson's voice
 That's better" be chuckled You're clever when your head is clear- ~NOv be Oe for Green You know what to say-
 ~YOu viii be alone. Will you be afrzidr
 The sneer was the last stimuIant Grenier needed.

 Nothing better. Let US go out for a little stroll. Now, don't forget. Ad- dress me as MT. Anson.' Get used to it even if we are alone, and it will be DO harm should we happen to meet somebody"
 They went down the hill and entered the rough country road that wound up from Scarsdale to the cliff. Through the faint light of a summers night they saw a man approaching.
 It was policeman.
 "Absit omen," said Grenier softly.
 "What's thatT'
 "Latin for cop. You complained { my want of nerve. Watch me now.
 He halted the policeman and ques- tioned him about the locality, the d. rection of the roads, the villages on the coast. He explained pleasantly that he was Londoner and an utter stran- ger in these parts.
 You are staying at the Grange House. sir?" said the man in his turn.
 ''Yes. Come here today, in fact"
 q saw you, sir. Is the gentleman who drove you from Scarsdale staying there toof I met you on the road, and he seemed to know me"
 Grenier silently mathematical his carelessness. Policemen in rural York shire were not as common as police men in Oxford street It was the same man whom he had encountered hours ago.
 "oh, he is doctor. Yes, he resides in the Grange House"
 You won't find much room for e party there. sir" persisted the consts- ble. T don't remember the gentleman at all. What Is his nameT"
 "Dr. Williams. He is a genial sort of fellow-nods to anybody. Take a cigar. Sorry I can't ask you to go up and have a drink. but there is illness in the place"
 The policeman passed on.
 Illness" he said, glancing at the gloomy outlines of the farm. How many of 'em are in t place, and who's yOn dark lookin' chap wonder7 My, but his face yTouId stop a clockr'

placed the hat carelessly on chair. He chanced to hold it by an uninjured part of the rim and never thought of examining 1t.
 At last Grenier declared himself sat isfied.
 What do you think of the result?' he demanded, facing about so that the other could see both Anson and him self.
 First rate. It would deceive his own mother"
 A terrific rattat sounded on the outer door.
 A direct summons to the internal regions could not have startled both men more thoroughly. Grenier, with the protecting makeup on forehead and cheeks, cnly showed his terror In his gllstening eyes and palsied frame. Ma son, whom nothing could daunt, was nevertheless spellbound with surprise.
 What intruder was this who knocked so imperatively? They were mile and a half from the nearest habitatIon. four miles from village. What fear full chance had brought to their door one who thus boldly demanded admIs- sion? Had their scheme mIscarried at this vital moment? Had Anson sus- pected something and arranged that he should be followed by rescuers-aveng- CTS?
 The sheer agony of fear restored Greniers wits He was not Grenier now, but Philip Anson-a very shaky and unnerved Philip Anson, 1t was true. but sufficiently lifellke to choke or dpubtlng inquiries
 He clutched Mason's arm and point ed qulvering finger at Philip.
 Out with him! This instant, The tide Is high.'
 But his facel If he Is found"-
 Mason reached for the life preseryer with horrible purpose.
 "No. no. No more noise. Quick, man! You must go to the door. Only summon me If necessary. Oh. quick~
 He rushed to another door and open cd il. There was a balcony beyond. It overhung the very lip of the rock. Far beneath the deep blue of the sea shone and naught else.
 Mason caught up Anson's limp form and ran with him to the balcony. With a mighty swing he threw him outward. clear of the clifrs edge. For q few tremulous seconds they listened. They thought they heard a splash. Then Mason turned eoOlly to Grenler. "Is there any blood on my coaty'
 T can see none. Now. the doori Keep iazsders
 With quaking heart he listened to Masou's heavy tread along the passage and across the kitchen. He clinehed the back of a ehaIs in the effort to calm himself by foreible means. Then he heard the unboltin- of the door and the telegraph messengers prompt an nouncement:

Disks of loaf sugar were r.ounted on . lathe and rapidly rotated while ham, mer played lightly assins. them An almost continuous radiation vas thus produced from the sugar. It was shown that the light did not arise from heating the sugar, and 1t is be- lfeyed to have been caused by some change having taken place in the sugar crystals The act of cTystallira- ton is known to be accompanied sometimes by flashes Of light The practical bearing of these experiments is on the question of obtsinlng sr<t

stained"
 Rot! He must go into the water naked in any case. The idea is your own"
 "Ah, 1 forgot. It will soon be all right. Besides, knew I should be up- set, so have everything written down here-all fully thought out. There can be no mistake made then.' I He produced a little notebook and opened 1t with uncertain fingers. He glanced at closely written page. The words danced before his vision, but he persevered.
 "Yes. His coat first, then his boots; clothes or linen stained with blood to be burned, after cutting of all but tons. Now I'm ready. will not funk any more."
 His temperament linked the artistic and criminal faculties in sinister con- bination, and he soon recovered his domination in guilty partnership. It must have been the instinct of the pickPocket that led him to appropriate Philips silver watch. with its quaint shoelace attachment before he touch- ed any other article. Queer thingr' he commented. "A ! rich man might afford a better time Keeper. but there's no accounting Tor | tastes"
 Mason, sauated and stupefied. obey ed his instructions like a ministering ghoul. They undressed Philip wholly, and Grenier, rapidly denuding himself of his boots and outer clothing. donned these portions of the victims attire.
 Then the paint tubes and the other accessories of an actors makeup were produced. Grenier. facing a mirror placed on a table close to Philip. be- gan to remodel his own plastic features fin close similitude to those of the un- conscious man. He was greatly as- sisted by the fact that in general con- tour they were not strikingly different. Philips face was of a fine classical type. Grenier. whose nose. mouth and chin were regular and pleasing. found the greatest difficulty in controlling the shifty, ferretlike expression of his eyes. Again. Philip had no mustaehe. The only costume he really liked to wear was his yachting uniform. and here he conformed to the standard of the navy. The shaven lip. of course. was helpful to his imitator. All that was needed was on artistic eye for the chief effect. combined with a skilled use of his materials. And herein Gre nier was an adept
 But the light was growing very un- certain.
 "A lamp he said querulously, for time sped and he had much to do "bring lamp gnIcklyF'
 Mason went toward the front kitch- en. Grenier did not care about te- ing left alone face to face with the palIId and naked form in the chair. but he set his teeth and repressed the tend ency to rush after his confederate.
 The latter in returning halted an in stant
 -IIeIlo- he cried. ~Here's his hat
 After placing the lamp on the tabie beside the mirror he went back to the passage

afraid sixty times in every hour, Your job has nearly ended; mine has barely commenced Now leave me-"
 Nevertheless he quilted that cham Der of death carrying with him all that he needed and hurrylng over the task while he could yet hear the dogcart rattling down the hill.
 He commenced with an inventory of Philips pockets. Et
 His eyes sparkled at the sight of a well filled pocketbook, with a hundred pounds in notes stuffed therein. cards. a small collection of letters, and other odds and ends. Among Philips books was Evelyn's hurried note of that morning, and on 1t penciled memo randum:
 Sharpe left for Devonshire yesterday. Lady NJ. wrote from Yorkshire.
 That was a neat stroke" thought Grenier, with a smile-when he smiled he least resembled Philip. Being a man of affairs, Anson promptly went to the Morlands' solicitors. I was sure of it. I wonder how Jimmie arranged matters with Sharpe. I will know to- morrow at York"
 A checkbook in another pocket added to his joy. -
 ''The last rock out of my pathr' he cried aloud. That saves two days. The bait took. By Joyel I'm in luck's wayr'
 There was now no need to write to Philips bank for a fresh book, which was his first daring expedlent.
 He seated himself at a table and wrote Philips signature several times to test his hand. At last 1t was steady. Then he put a match to a fire all ready for lighting and burned Philips hat, collar. shirt and underclothlng; also the blood stained towel.
 When the mass of clothing was smol- dering black and red he threw a fresh supply of coal on top of it. The loss of the hat did not trouble him. He possessed one of the same shape and color.
 He was quietly smoking cigar and practicing Philips voice between the puffs when Mason returned with the valet.
 The scene. carefully rehearsed by Grenier in all it's details. passed off with gratifying success. Purring with satisfaction. the chief scoundrel of the pair left in the Grange House by the astonIshed servant began to overhaul the contents of Philips bag.
 It held the ordinary outfit of a gen tieman who does nOI expect to pay q protracted visit-an evening dress suit. a light overcoat, a tweed suit and small supply of boots and linen 4 tiny dressing case fitted into a special receptacle, and on top of this reposed a folded document.
 Grenier opened 1t. Mason looked over his shoulder. It was headed:
 Annual Report of the Mary Anson Home For Destitute Boys"
 Mason coarsely cursed both the home and its patron. but Grenier laughed pleasantly.
 The rery thing-' he cried Look ber-
 And he pointed to an indorsement by the secretary:
 For signature if approved of-

 "@AN'T I have a light?" said Philip, with head screwed round to ascertain If the doc V W tor were following him.
 Some sense, whether of sight or hearing he knew not, warned him of movement near at hand, an impalpable | effort, physical tension as of man laboring under extreme but repressed E excitement.
 He paid little heed to it. All the sur. roundings in this weird dwelling were so greatly at variance with his anticl. pations that he partly expected to find further surprises.
 Dr. Williams did not answer. Philip advanced a halting foot, hesitatine hand groplng for a door. Instantly a stout rope fell over his shoulders, moose was tightly drawn, and he was ierked violently to the stone noor of the passage. He fell prone on his face. hurting his nose and mouth. The shock jared him greatly, but bis hands, if not his arms. were free. and, with the instinct of self pres eryation that replaces all other sensa- ! tons In moments of extreme peril, he strove valiantly to rise.
 But he was grasped by the neck with brutal force and some one knelt on his back.
 Philip Anson," hissed a mans voice, do you remember Jocky Ma BonY'
 So he had fallen into a trap, cunning iy prepared by what fiendish combina- tion of fact and artihce he had yet to learn Jocky Mason. the skulking criminal of Johnson's News. Was he ln that mans powerl
 Under such conditions a man thinks quickly. Philips first ordered thought was one of relief. He had fallen into fhe clutches of an English brigand. Money would settle this difficulty if all 9thsr means failed.
 "Yes. yes." he gurgIed. half stran- sled by the fierce pressure on his Ehpat-

 Now, in falling the hard felt hat ht wore dropped in front of his face. The first wild movement of his head tilted 1t outward, but the savage jerk given by his assailant brought the rim slight ly over his skull again.
 In the almost complete darkness of the passage Mason could not see the slight protection this afforded to his victim, and the sledge hammer blow he delivered with life preserver-thai murderous implement named so utter ly at variance with Its purpose-did no, reveal the presence of an obstacle.
 He struck with force that would have stunned an OK; 1t must have killed any man be he the hardest skulled abo. rigine that ever breathed. But the stout rim of the hat, though crushed like an eggshell, took off some of the leaden instruments tremendous i'm pact Philip, though quite insensible was not dad. His sentient faculties were annihilated for the time, but his heart continued its life giving func- tons, and he breathed with impercep. tible fiutterings.
 Mason rose, panting with excitement, glutted with satisfied hate. He lifted his victims inert form with the ease of his great strength.
 Come onw he shouted and strode toward door, which he kicked open.
 A step sounded haltingly in the pas sage. Grenier, the sIo-disant doctor, livid now and shaking with the ague of irretrieyable crime, stumbled after his more callous associate. Unconsclously he kicked Philips hat to one side. He entered the room, an apartment with a boundless view of the sea.
 Here there was more light than In the kitchen. The windows faced to- ward the northwest, and the last radi- ance of a setting sun illumlned wall on the right.
 Not therep be gasped. "In this chair. Ills face-I must see his facer'
 Mason. still claspIng hIs inanimate burden, laughed with snarl
 Stop thatr' he roared. Pull your self together. Get some brandy. I've done my work. If you can't do yours, let me finish t."
 "0h, just a momentl Give me timel I hate the sight of blood. Get towel. Bind 1t round his neck. His clothes, They win be saturated. And wipe his face. I must see his face"
 Grenier was hystericaL He had the highly strung nervous system of a girl where deeds of blOOdshed were con eerned. While Mason obeyed his In- structions he pressed his hands over his eyes.
 Bring some brandy, white liver. Do you want me to do everythingT'
 This gruff orsler awoke Grenier to trembling action. He went to a cup board and procured a bottle. Mason. having placed Anson in a chair and steadIed his head against the wall. seized half a tumblerful Of the neat spirit and drank 1t with gusto- The other. gradually recovering his self con trOl. was satisaed with less potential draft
