CHAPTER VIII.

CAPTAIN CARROLL shot the
police boat into the slip just as
DIR. Markay's form went beneath
the water. A second later they saw
the rather rotund figure of Mr.. Ryer-
son roll over the edge of the pier and
drop.
Markay came to the surface quickly,
and as he rose he shouted to the police
Get him! Get him. and pointed as
best he could to the fleeing form of
Marston, carrying the young woman
n dragging old Mag behind him.
But the police, from the location oil
their boat, could not see the forms
vanishing through the darkness of the
Vineyard because of the projectment
of the pier edge. Detectives Long and
Farrell leaped overheard and swan to
the doctor. who was about to go down
because of the wounded shoulder and
arm. He was carried to the pier, and
then. with a rope, dragged up on it.
1t was seen hat he was badly wound
ed. and he was hurried away to the
City Hospital in an ambulance as a
prisoner, with police guards over him.
THAT'S the man who hit. me in the
face with his fist in Lafayette street. -

was whisked away.
Chief Carroll and his men tried TO
discover the second body which was
seen to go overheard, but they could
not, and at daybreak the slip was
dragged and the body was brought up.
An autopsy showed that, while the
lungs We're filled with water, the mil
lionaire had been on the point of death
from the persistent and continued ad-
ministratton of powerful drugs.
Before the doctors would permit DR..
Markay to tax his strength by making
a statement the newspapers came out
with the startling story of the nights
adventures. the wounding and capture
of DR.. Markay and the escape of his
unknown companion M a woman with
the beautiful heiress to the Ryerson
millions. Newark went wild with the
excitement, and great crowds sur
rounded the city Hospital and threat
ened to drag DR.. Markay from his cot
and lynch him. Police reserves were
called out to surround the institution
and keep the angry crowd back.
But at noon. DR.. Markay, with his
wonderfully resourceful mind. made a
statement which completely changed
the public attitude toward him.
"A great mistake has been made he
said; Il have been accused. when l
should be praised. Mr., Ryerson and his
daughter fell into the hands of a band
of %kidnappers and l was trying to save
them, / had been called to the house in
Lafayette street by a mysterious man
to attend a man and a woman who
We're said to be ILL.
when | reached there l found d man
and Il young woman in a very dark
room. 1t had been darkened purposely,
80 that / could not see their faces. 1
had little trouble in making out that
they We're Mr.. Ryerson and his daugh-
ter. / discovered that they had been
heavily drugged and might die. unless
they had prompt and efficient attention.
1t was while l was discussing this point
Of the case with the man who had sum
moned me that the Chinaman said the
police We're coming. The man then told
me | would have to go with him. 1
needed no persuasion, as 1 was anxious
To save the ives of Mr.. Ryerson and his
daughter and to discover where this
creature was to take his victims.
ut was while [ was trying to delay
the escape from the motor boat onto the
pier so that the police boat could over
take us that the man hurled me into the
water and threw poor Mr.. Ryerson

But, how about the finding of a Sec
ton Of Mr.. Ryerson's will in your
Officer he was asked.
"AIr. Ryerson and l were very close
friends. and he frequently advised with
me about his personal affairs. 1 told
him that his affection might
result in his death at any time, and to-
gether, in my office. we drew up his
will" That seemed plausible.
But how about the charge of little
Laura Browning that you struck her in
the face2"
Il did not know that she was so
deeply interested in the case. 1 sup-
posed she was a street urchln. and 1
