1t Is Not a Joke.

To my many patrons it may have
occurred that my request for CASH
is a joke. 1t is not. am compelled
to pay cash for my stuff; am getting
government inspected beef from Port

splendid trade you have given me and
am trying my best to accommodate
you. Our interests are mutual, but
please do not ask for credit at the

SYNOPSIS,

Sanford Quest, master criminologist OF
the world, finds that in bringing to JUS
tice MaCdougal, the murderer of Lord
Ashleigh's daughter, he has but just be-
gun a ~life-and-death struggle with a mys-
ferrous master criminal. In a hidden hut
in Professor Ashleigh's garden he has seen
an ape skeleton and a living creature, half
monkey, half man, destroyed by fire. In
his rooms have appeared black boxes con
tanning notes, signed by a pair OF arm
less hands. Laura and Lenora, his assis-
tants, suspect Craig, the professors serv-
ant, of a double murder. The black boxes
continue to appear in uncanny fashion.
Craig, trapped, escapes to England.
Quest, Lenora and the professor follow
him. Lord Ashleigh is murdered by the
hands. Craig, captured, escapes to Port
Said. Quest and his party follow, and be-
yond into the desert. They are CaptAred
by Mongars. escape with Craig as t7eir
captive, and turn him over TO Inspector
French in San Francisco. He escapes in
a train wreck. outgenerals his pursuers,
and starts back to New York.

Quest did not wait for another WOr

Quest did not wait for another word.
He jumped a rough bush OF scrub on
the r%ight-hand side, galloped owe the
ground, which was already hot with
the coming fire, and followed along
down the road which Lenora had
passed. When he came to the first
bend, he could hear the roar of flames
in the trees. A volume Of smoke al.
most blinded him; his horse became
wholly unmanageable. He slipped
from the saddle and ran On, staggering
from right TO left like a drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Lee
nora was lying in the dust. A volume
Of smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already afire. A twig fell from it as
Quest staggered up. and her skirt be-
gan to shoulder. He tore off his coat,
wrapped it around her, beat out the
fire which was already blazing at her
feet and snatched her into his arms.
She opened her eyes for a moment.
Where are WEI" she whispered.
"The fire."
That's all right" Quest shouted.
We'll be out of it in a moment. Hold
tight to my neck"
Say, that was a close shave" he
faltered, as he laid Lenora upon the
ground. Another five minutes-well,
we won't talk about it. Let's lift her
on to your horse, Laura, and get back
to the camp"

IF only I could do something for
him." she murmured.
Hes in some kind of trouble, I
think" Mrs. Mallory observed. He
is not what you might call a commu-
NEGATIVE person. but it's easy to see
that he is far from being happy In
himself. You'll ring when you're
ready, Miss Mary?"
The door was suddenly opened and
Craig entered.
Look across the road" he begged.
''Tell me if there is a man in a blue
serge suit and a bowler hat, smok-
ing a cigar, looking across here"
Mrs. Mallory and the girl both
obeyed. The cir! was the first to
speak.
Yes" she answered. "Hei is looking
straight at these windows"
Craig groaned and sank down upon
a chair.
Leave us, if you please, Mrs. Ma
lony," he ordered. III ring when I'm
ready"
The landlady left the silently.
The girl came over to her uncle and
threw her arm around his neck.
He patted her head, felt in his peck
cts and drew out a little paper bag,
from which he shook a bunch Of vio-
lets,
How kind you are to mel" she ex-
claimed. You think of everything!"
He sighed.
IF | had had you for a little longer,
Mary" he said, perhaps should have
been a better man. Go to the window,
please, and tell me ii that man is
still there"
She crossed the room with light
footsteps. Presently she returned.
He is just crossing the street"
she announced. Il think that he seems
to be coming here"
Craig took the girl for a minute into
his arms.
"Good-by, DEAR" he said. II want
you to take this paper and keep it
carefully. You will be cared for al
ways, but I must 60"
But where must you go?" she
asked, bewildered.
Il have an appointment at Profess
sor A~shleigh's," he told her. Il cannot
tell you anything more than that.
Good-by."
He kissed her for a moment pas
sionately. Then suddenly he tore him
self away. She heard him run lightly
down the stairs. Some instinct led her
to the back window. She saw him
emerge from the house and pass down
the yard. Then she went to the front.
The man in the blue serge was talking
to the landlady below. She sank into
a chair, puzzled and unhappy. Then she
heard heavy footsteps. The door was
opened. The MAJ in the blue serge
suit entered, followed by the protest
ing landlady.
There's no sense in coming here
to worry the young lady" Mrs. Mallory
declared, irritably. "As for Mr.. Craig
| told you that he'd gone out"
Gone out, eh?" the man repeated
speaking in a thick, disagreeable tone
"Why | watched him in here not ter
minutes ago. Now then, young lady

guess you'd better cough up the truth.
Where's this precious uncle of yours?"
MY uncle has gone out" the girl
replied, drawing herself up. He left
five minutes ago"
whats that in your hand?' he de-
manded.
Something my uncle gave me be-
fore he went out" the girl replied.
Il haven't looked at 1t yet myself"
"Give it here" he ordered.
She spread 1t out upon the table.
"You may look at it II you choose"
she agreed. my uncle did not tell
me lot to show it to anyone"
They read it together. The few
lines seemed to be written with great
care. They took, indeed, the form Of
a legal document, to which was af-
fixed the seal Of a notary and the
name Of a witness:
81, John Craig, being about to re-
ceive the just punishment for all my
sins, hereby bequeath to my niece,
Mary Carlton, all moneys and prop
erty belonging to me, a list Of which
she will find at this address. make

! beg my niece to fervently respect It.
II 10 that she never Of her W con-
sent or knowledge speak to anyone OF

with any Of that name.

The man folded up the paper.
It'll take care of this" he said. its

to borrow 1t for q time. Go and get
your hat and coat on, miss"

CHAPTER XXXII.

The professor laid down his book
and gaZed with an amiable smile to-
wards Quest and Lenora.
Il fear" he remarked, dolefully,
that my little treatise on the fauna Of
the northern Orinoco scarcely appeals
to you, MI. Quest"
Quest, whose arm was in a sling, but
who was otherwise none the worse for
his recent adventure, pointed out Of
the tent.
Don't you believe it, professor" he
begged. I've been listening to every
word. But say, Lenora, just look at
Laura and French"
They all three peered a~nxiously out
of the opening Of the tent. Laura and
the inspector were very slowly ap-
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
vas carrying a large bunch of wild
flowers, one of which she was in the
act of fastening in French's button
hole.
THAT fellow French has got grit"
Quest declared. He sticks to it all
the time. He'll win out with Laura
in the end, you mark my words"
We've wired for them to meet
Craig" Quest said, after a short ST.
lence. Il only hope they don't let him
slip through their fingers. l haven't
much faith in his promise to turn up
at the professors. Let's see what
Laura and French have to say" d.
Cant see any sense in STAYING on
here any longer" was French's imme-
date decision, 80 long as you two
invalids feel that you can stick the
journey. Besides, we're using up
these fellows hospitality"
They busted themselves for the next
hour or two, making preparations.
After their evening meal the Two men
walked with Lenora and Laura to
their tent.
Il think you girls had better go to
bed" Quest suggested. TRY and get
a long nights sleep"
That's all very well,' French re-
marked, "but it's only eight o'clock.
What about a stroll, Miss Laura, just
up to the ridge?'
Laura hesitated for a moment and
glanced towards Lenora.
please go" the latter bcrged. 81
really don't feel like going to sleep
Just yet"
I'll look after Lenora," Quest prom
ised. you have your walk. There's
the professor sitting outside his tent.
Wouldn't you like to take him with
you?"
Laura glanced Indignantly at him as
they strolled out, and Lenora laughed
softly.
How dared you suggest such a
thing" she murmured to Quest. do
look at them. The inspector wants
her to take his watch and she can't
quite make up her mind about it. Why,
Laura's getting positively frivolous"
When the inspector returned Quest
handed him a telegram:
To Inspector French, AIIsuez, N. NJ:
Very sorry. Craig gave US slip after
leaving depot. Niece disappeared from
address given. No clues at present.
When are you returning?
French swore softly for a moment.
Then he dropped into a chair.
This" he declared, sis our unlucky
evening"

CHAPTER xxXHI.

The woman who had just laid the
cloth for a homely evening meal
smiled across at the girl who stood
at the window.
TITS all ready now directly your
uncle comes home" she announced.
Mrs. Mallory came to the girls
side.
your poor uncle looks as though q
little peace would do him good" she
remarked.
The girl sighed.
