The excitement at the Al. las Building had distracted attention from him. Nobody wondered at his getting rat;led and running away. The few tenants remaining in the building had stumbled forth. vowing never to return to such a-assorted adjectiyes building. That was all there seemed to be to say
 In the meantime the crowd had in. creased from a few hundred to thou. sands. Police appeared The eorri. dors were cleared of all but a few. Among these were Hallowen and Jack Wsrford: the former as a reporter, the latter as the reporters compan. ion. Doctor Knox and Professor Ed. ridge arrived shortly.

CHAPTER XII.
The Unknown.


 It now becomes necessary to glance in passing at the personal character. isties of Professor Eldridge. This man was in about his fortieth year, tall, spare. keenly intellectual in coun Ienance. cool. possessed of an absc- lute reliance on the powers of science, beyond which his mental processes did not stray. His manner was dis tinguished by a stiff unbending for mality; his expression by a glacial coldness of steelgray eyes and s straight-line compression of thin lips; his dress by precise and unvarying Journalism. and his speech by a curl ous polysyllabic stiffness.
 This latter idiosyncrasy would in another have seemed either priggish of facetiously intended. With Profes- sor Eldridge it was merely a natural method of speech.
 Withal, his scientific attachments were not only undoubted, but so con. siderable as to have won for him against many odds the reputation Of a great scientist. His speciality, II such 1t might be called, was scientific diagnosis. The exactness of scientific laws was so admirably duplicated by the exactitudes of his mind that he seemed able. by bloodless and me. chanical sympathy, to penetrate to the most obscure causes Of the strangest events. It might be added that prac- tically his only social ties were those with the Warfords, and that the only woman with whom he ever entered into conversation was Helen.
 At sight of him Percy Darrow's lounging gait became accentuated to exaggeration-
 Hello, Pref" he drawled. "On the job, l see. Good morning, Doctor he greeted Knox. What do you make of it?''
 T make of it that the Atlas Building will shortly be without tenants" re. piled the doctor; me, for one"

 narrow's exit, and that of his com panfoHs, were greeted uproariously.
 Please go way an let me sleep! !" sang one, at the blinking men.
 Here's another" shrilled a gamin. Get up! The porter wants to make up your berth"
 Several of the crowd, pending the usual arrival of the police to clear the corridor. had ventured through the wide portals, and were experimenting with this strange palpable quality of darkness. One or two popped inside the curtain, but emerged quickly, look. ing a little scared.
 A bright youth .nade the discovery that if one lighted a match and step ped within the blackness, the match was immediately eXtinguished, but that upon emerging into daylight the flame came up again. Some one hap. pened along with plumbers gasoline torch. Immediately this was lighted and the experiment repeated. The bearer of the torch. astonished at the instant extinguishment of the flame, felt with his hand to see what could be the matter. Instantly he uttered a yelp of pain, and leaped outside, dis playing a badly burned palm.
 There wasn't no flame; I swear it!" he explained excitedly, but she burn ed. just the samei" He rushed about from one to another displaying his in jured palm to whoever would look.
 Darrow paid little attention to this gathering crowd. First of all, he scanned a paper he held in his hand then plunged back again into the blackness.
 Jack Warford and Hallowell, left to, gether. hesitated uncertainty.
 Hell be back" the reporter decid' cd finally. "and he's the man to tie to-"
 While waiting. he proceeded to pick up what information he could from the bystanders. It seemed that the first lntimation of anything wrong was fol lowed very shortly by the emergence of Mccarthy, disbeyeled. hatless, star

 Why do you limit it?" cried Hallo- we'll.
 Because we have had but one mani festation at time.

That would be really ter rifying. He has not done so. There fore, I conclude that his power is linn. tied in applicability.
 Isn't that a little doubtful?" spoke ID Jack.
 "Of course" said Darrow cheerfully. That's where we're going to win out on this sporting proposition with our dear Brother Eldridge. He won't ac- cept any hypothesis unless 1t is abso- lutely copper-riveted. We will"
