Laura, you had better telephone to
the police station and for doctor.
That's right, isn't it, Inspector"
"Yes!" the latter assented thought
fully.
Lenora, white to the lips, staggered
a few feet back into the hall. Laura
set her teeth and fingered.
"Is that Ross?" she asked.
cts his body" Quest replied. Hes
been murdered here, he and the Saliva
ton Army girl who was to come this
morning for her check"
Laura turned away half dazed.
'Td have trusted Ross with my life,"
Quest continued, "but he must have
been alone in the house when the girl
came. Do you suppose it was the
usual sort of trouble?"
Inspector French stopped down and
picked up the paper-weight. Across 1t
was stamped the name Of Sanford
Quest.
This yours, Quest?"
"Of course it is" Quest answered.
Everything in the room is NINE"
"The girl would fight to defend her
SELF" the inspector remarked slowly,
"but she could never strike man such
a blow as your valet died from"
French stopped and picked up a
small clock. 1t had stopped at eleven
fifteen. He looked at 1t thoughtfully.
Quest" he went on, "I'll have to
ask you question"
why not?" Quest replied looking
quickly up.
where were you at eleven-ffteen"
"On tower No. 10 Of the New York
Central, scrapping for my life," Quest
answered grimly. "I've reason to re-
member It,"
Something in the inspectors steady
gaze seemed to inspire the criminelo-
gist with a new idea. He came step
forward, a little frown upon his fore
head.
"Say, French" he exclaimed. "you
don't-you don't suspect me Of this?"
French was unnoved. He looked
Quest in the eyes.
II don't know" he said.

stepped out OF his office and ap-
preached her automobile.
How nice of you to be 50 punctual,
Mr.. French" she exclaimed. making
room for him By her side "Wiii you

the spot where he had left the car,
The chauffeur, who saw him coming
started up and climbed to his seat
Quest took his place.
Drive to the Office" he ordered.
The man slipped in his clutch. They
were in the act of gliding off whel
there was tremendous report. They
stopped short. The man jumped down
and looked at the back tire.
Blowout" he remarked laconically
Quest frowned.
"How long will it take?"
-Four minutes" the man replied
'1've got another wheel ready. That's
the queerest blowout I ever saw
! though"
The two men leaned over the tire
Suddenly Quests expression changed
His hand stole into his hip pocket.
"Tom," he explained, chat wasn't a
blowout at all. Look here!"
He pointed to the small level hole
Almost at once he stood back and the
sunshine flashed upon the revolver
clutched in his right hand
THAT was bullet" he continued
Someone fred at that tire. Tom
there's trouble about"
The man looked nervously around
That's rife bullet, sure" he NUT
tered.
Get on the wheel as quick as you
can," Quest directed. Here, I'll give
you a hand
He stopped down to unfasten the
straps which fastened the spare wheel
It was one Of his rare lapses, realized
a moment too late. Almost in his ears
came the hoarse cry:
"Hands up, guvnor! Hands up this
second or I'll blow you to hell"
Quest glanced over his shoulder and
looked into the face of Red Gallagher
raised little above the level OF the
road. A very ugly little revolver was
pointed directly at Quests heart.
"My mates got you covered on the
other side Of the road, too. Hands up,
both Of you, or we'll make quick job
of it."
Quest shrugged his shoulders, threw
his revolver into the road and obeyed
AS he did so, the other man stole out
from behind bush and sprang for
the chauffeur, who under cover Of the
car was stealing off. There was a
brief struggle, then the dull thud of
the railway mans rife failing on the
chauffeur's head. He rolled over and
lay in the road.
pitch him off amongst the bushes
Red Gallagher ordered. "You don't
want anyone who comes by to see.
Now lend me a hand with this chap
what do you propose to do with
me?" Quest asked.
you'll know soon enough" Red Gal.
lagher answered. "a matter of five
minutes talk, to start with. You see
that handcar house?"
Perfectly WE'LL" Quest assented
"My eyesight is quite normal"
Get there then. I'm yard behind
you and my revolver's pointing for
the middle of your back"
Quest sprang lightly down from the
road, crossed the few intervening
yards and stepped into the handcar
house.
Gallagher and his mate followed
close behind. Quest paused on the
threshold.
tits a filthy dirty hole" he re-
marked. Cant we have our little
chat out here? Is it money you
want?"
Gallagher glanced around. Then
with an ugly push of the shoulder he
sent Quest reeling into the shed. His
great form blocked up the doorway.
"No," he cried fiercely, 'it's not
money I want this time. Quest, you
brute, you dirty bloodhound! You
sent me to the pen for five years-you

 Berlin, Fe. 16, via London, 11:30 a. m.-The Cologne Gazette, com menting today on the diplomatic sit uatlon which has arisen out of Ger many's declaration, af a, marine war zone around England, says that the American note to Great Britain con- tains demand the granting of which would at once remove or reduce to small proportions all danger to Amer lcan shipping.

 ABOUT LEAVING MEXICO
Diplomats Receive Instructions
 From Their Governments.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Virtually all the foreign diplomatic representa- tives in Mexico City have been in structed by their governments to use their own discretion about leaving the capital, according to an announce ment yesterday by Secretary Bryan.
 The British and Italian ambassa- dors inquired of the state department during the day to advices from Mexico, reflecting the anxiety of their governments over the situation in Mexico City where food is scarce and i the water supply cut off.
 Situation Further Complicated.
 The situation has been further com plicated by the decree of General Carranza that none of his subordi- nate military chiefs shall discuss diplomatic questions. This deprives the diplomatic corps at Mexico City of the privilege of dealing with Gen. cral Obregon or the de facto authori- ties in Mexico City The only alter native held out to them for discussing diplomatic matters with the Carranza government is a visit to Vera Cruz which they are unwilling to make lest it be construed as formal recognition.
 Some of the embassies here under stand that the diplomats in Mexico have an agreement that if they leave Mexico City they will leave the country entirely.
 Not Advised Officially.
 Secretary Bryan said that he was not advised officially of the CarranZa decree limiting the activity of the Ia ho not know what were the plans of the Brazilian ministers, in charge of American interests. The Brazilian minister has been informed however, that the American government does not look with favor on the suggestion of Carranza that the diplomatic corps go to Vera Cruz.
 It is expected that the situation will be discussed at the meeting of Presi- dent Wilson's cabinet tonight.
 State Department Statement.
 A state department statement is- sued last night said:
 "F. D. Nage1, concerning whom in quiries have been made, has arrived in Monterey and is well.
 "A despatch dated February 13 iron; Eaglc Pass states that reports from Sabines arc to the effect that the Carranza troops under General Louis Villa troops have again appeared on the outskirts of MoncloVa and that Gutierrez have evacuated Mon- clova, falling back to Hermanas with out offering resistance. Piedras Me- gras is reported quiet"
 Must Como to Carranza. Vera Cruz, Mexico, Feb. 16.-Pub- licity was given yesterday in Vera Cruz to circular issued recently by General Carranza first chief of the constitutionalists, in which it is an nounced that all diplomatic and other communications to the Mexican gov ! ernment are to be made direct to Gen l eral Carranza. and that under no cir 1 cumstances shall any army officer i treat with such foreign representatives, l whether they be the agents Of tor 1 eign governments "big interests or 1 foreign colonies.
