 And Mir. Ton Phinney departed to call on the wealthy diamond importer
 Left thus to himself, Van Vechten took from his pocket the key which Mfr Flirt had given him, and sat con templating 1t for some minutes. By and by he returned it to his pocket then pushlng back his chair, rose and fell tc pacing to and fro the width Of the lourging-room. As he passed each of the pig plate glass windows-they were screened. however, at this sea. son--he would glance across the street at the silent house. At last he halted and, hands in pockets, stood staring at the 5insy facade. his mien pensive.
 "Why not?' his thoughts presently crystailized. Now Is as good as any time. It's too late in the day to under. take anything else; besides, there is nothing to do but wait Lord-waiti !. would be a relief to have the uni. verse come tumbling around ones ears. After Flnta yarn. it will be in. ! teregting to have a squint Inside. | Queer, queer"
 Now perhaps he forgot hie promise to Flint to leave word respecting his | movements, or else he did not Corsid. | CT a brief absence merely across the street of sufficient consequence to be | mentioned; however that may be, he left tho club without a word to any. body.
 A minute or two later he stood in the inCescribably filtered and filthy | backyard of Number 1913. In truth. ! tho piac7 was DO more than a small brlck-paved court It was walled all about, and a short flight of stone steps leading downward to a basement door bore the only evidence of recent use. Here. patently was the door to which the key belonged.
 He unhesitatingly went down the kalt-6ozen or so steps, and when he stopped to insert the key in the lock received the initial surprise of his ad venture.
 Before he succeeded in getting the key into the ksyhole, the door swung open at his touch. Besides being un locked. the latch was not even caught
 ''Humphl Shouldn't think Flint would have been that carelesH," wal his immediate conclusion. It did mol occur to him that somebody already might be within, but oontented himselt with the belief that the detective had neglected to make fast the door aftel his visit Sunday afternoon.
 Settling the incident thus to his owI satisfaction, he entered and closed tn, door behind him
 He glimpsed into the kitchen, ana promptly withdrew with a shuddeT. Of on one side a huge range stood, reS with rust, and everywhere were cob webs and layer upon layer of dirt. sleek rat darted Into the denser shsd ows, and the opening door disturbe, hundreds of enormous ooclzroaches Some scuttled away, but others re mained motionless and watched hin with malignant eyes that sparkiet weirdly in the half-light
