w the Ogden street den, a
most interested spectator was
George Manning. the new volunteer
confederate of the wounded DR.. Mar
kay. He was on the sidewalk when
her say to Whiting.
Just before the man took her away
she whispered to me that if l got away
from Mag l could find her near Bloom
field avenue and Branch Brook Park,
that that was where she was going 10
lead him. and if help did not come she
would point u the stone"
That was enough for Manning. He
rushed to the City Hospital, and, late
as the hour was. he induced an at
tendant to permit him to see DIR
Markay.
II must get away from here to-
night" declared. the doctor. when he
had heard what Manning said. "She
is leading that fellow to the treasure
chest. You be at the corner of High
and Orange streets with a suit cf
clothes for me in a half hour. I have
arranged here for just such an emer-
gency."
Markay called the male attendant in
his ward and learned that the police
man guarding the prisoner patients
was asleep in the hallway leading to
the ward. CThe doctor had previously
reached a confidential financial under
standing with the %attendant)

once" said the doctor. II am 51lf-
fciently strong. Now. | want you to

III pretend you are taking me into the
ante-room. Come on"
The doctor leaned very heavily on
the arm of the attendant, to give the
impression, if anyone did see them.
that he was far too weak and ill to
think of an escape. Once in the ante
room the doctor jumped into the white
coat and use of the attendant, and
with q pair of shears the attendant
had. he cut his beard in two minutes
almost as closely as he could have
shaved.
Then, hatless, he walked down
through the main aisle of the ward,
in the attendants uniform and his soft
soled slippers. past the sentry in the
hallway, down the main stairs, by the
Office and on down narrow steps into
the half basement. DR.. Markay knew
the building perfectly. He had been
an inferno there and for years he had
lectured classes of medical students
there on neurology. Once in the base
ment he walked quickly through the
darkened halls to a door leading out
the side. This he unbolted and let
himself out. In less than a minute he
was on the street and was hurrying
toward Orange street.
AT James street a policeman in uni
form was attracted by his white linen
uniform and asked him what was the
matter.
I'm an attendant at the hospital"
the doctor replied quickly, land I'm on
a hurry errand for one of the doctors. "
That satisfied the policeman's curiosity.
Manning, with a large bundle, was
waiting at the appointed place and the
two men went into the back room of Il
dark and dingy saloon in Orange street
near Plane street. and there DR..
Markay DOTTED the white suit and
the less attractive clothing pro-
ylded by Manning.
The couple walked down to Broad
street and in a few minutes boarded a
bound for Bloomfield. They
alighted just where Bloomfield avenue
Branch Brook Park.
you wait here and keep a sharp
out for Marston and the young
woman said Markay, "and will walk
through tho park and see if they
appear over at the other side. 1t is
evident that if they are lot mere yet
they will come. Don't go ava from
here unless you see them. Then fol-
low them and come back here and
meet me as soon as you IAN"
While MarkaY was walking along the
south side of Bloomfield avenue, toward
the western end of the park. he was
by a single horse and wagon.
on the seat of which sat an apparently
woman with crooked back and
shawl about her head. and a working
man as a driver. They attracted no
particular attention from the doctor.
The horse logged along at a slow trot
and when they reached the other end
Of the park the man turned to the
companion and said:
How much further is ito"
