The maidservant stood on one side
to let him pass. Almost at~the same
moment the door of the front room
opened and a pleasant cooking elder
ly lady appeared.
II am Mrs. Willet," she announced.
II am Mr.. Quest" the criminologist
told her quickly. 'You may have
heard your niece, Lenora, speak CT

Then perhaps you can tell me what

isn't she here?"
Mrs. Willet shook her head.
II had a telegram from her from
Plymouth to say that she was coming,
but I've seen nothing of her as yet"
you've changed your address, you
know" Quest reminded her, after a
moments reflection.
II wrote and told her." Mrs. Willet
began. after all, though" she went
on thoughtfully, Il am not sure wheth-
er she could have had the letter But
if she went up to Hampstead, anyone
would tell her where I had moved to.
There's no secret about me-"
"Lenora did go up to 157 Elsmere
road yesterday" Quest told her. "They
gave her your address here, as they
have just given it to me-"
Then what's become of the child?"
Mrs. Willet demanded

quickly, scrubbed upon one of his

why Lenora didn't come on to you

ever, I'll go back to the hotel where
she was to spend the night after she
arrived. She may have gone back
there. That's my address, Mrs. Willet.
If you hear anything wish you'd let
me know. Lenora's quite a particular
friend of mine and I am a little anx-
ious''
Quest had already opened the front
door for himself and passed out. He
sprang into the taxi, which he had
kept waiting.
'Clifford's hotel in Payne street."
he told the man.
He lit cigar and smoked furiously
all the way, throwing it on to the pave
ment as he hurried into the quiet p1-
vate hotel which fellow passenger
on the steamer had recommended as
being suitable for Lenora's one night
alone in town.
Can you tell me If Miss Lenora
Macdougal is staying here?" he asked
at the Office.
The woman shook her head.
Miss Macdougal stayed here the
night before last" she said, "and her
luggage is waiting for orders. She left
here yesterday afternoon to go to her
aunt's, and promised to send for her
things later on during the day. There
they stand, all ready for her"
What time did she go?"
Directly after an early lunch. It
must have been about two o'clock"
Quest hurried away. So after all
there was some foundation for this
queer sense Of depression which had
been lowering about him for the last
few days!

driver.
He thrust another cigar between his
teeth, but forgot to light it. He was

Quest declared, flercely, until we have

The butler made an apologize ap-

men. Middleton, the head keeper, is
there"
AS though inspired with a common
idea, both Quest and the professor hur-
r1ed out of the room and down the
broad stairs. Their inspiration was
true one. The gamekeeper well
coined them with smile or triumph.
By his side, the picture of abject mis-
cry, his clothes torn and muddy, was
Craig!

"How did you get him?" Quest de-
handed.
Little idea of my own" the game
keeper continued. IT guessed pretty
we'll what he'd be up to. He'd tumbled
to it that the usual way off the moor
was pretty well guarded, and he'd
doubled back through the thin line
of woods close to the house. I dug
one of my poachers' pits, sir, and COW

Quest suddenly whispered to the pro-
fessor. Then he turned to the keeper

a moment" he directed. Follow us,
please"
They passed into the bedchamber.
Quest signed to the keeper to bring
Craig to the side of the four-poster.
Then he drew down the sheet.
els that your work." he asked,
sternly.
Craig, up till then, had spoken NO
word. He had shambled to the bed
side, a broken, yet, in a sense, stolid
figure. The sight of the dead man,
however, seemed to galvanize him into
sudden and awful vitality. He threw
up his arms. His eyes were horrible
as they glared at those small black
marks. His lips moved backwards and
forwards, helplessly at first. Then at
last he spoke.
"Strangled!" he cried. Zone more!"
'That is your work." the crimino1o-
gist said, firmly.
Craig collapsed. He would have
fallen bodily to the ground if Middle
toms grip had not kept him up. Quest
bent over him. It was clear that he
had tainted. They led him from the
room.

police arrive" Quest suggested. II

earth could escape from"
They led him down to the back part
of the house into a dry cellar which
had the appearance of prison cell.
"This place has been used before
now, in the old days, for malefactors,"
the professor remarked. Hell be
safe there. Craig" he added, his
voice trembling, "Cra1g-I-I can't
speak to you. How could you!"
There was no answer. Craig's face
was buried in his hands. They left
him there and turned the key.

Mrs. Willet,
157 EIsmere Road,
HampStead.


This was 157 and the house was
empty After a moments hesitation
he rang the bell at the adjoining door.
A woman, who had been watching
him from the front room, answered the
summons at once.
"Can you tell me-" he inquired,
what has become of the lady who
used to live at 157-Mrs. Willet?"
"She's moved" was the uncompro-
missing reply.
"Do you know where to-" Quest
asked, eagerly.
"West Kensington-No. II Princess
Court road. There was a young lady
here yesterday afternoon inquiring for
her."
Quest raised his hat. It was relief,
at any rate, to have news of Lenora.
tT am very much obliged to you,
madam"
you're welcomed" was the terse re-
ply.
Quest gave a new address to the
taxi driver and was scarcely able to
restrain his Impotence during the long
drive. They pulled up at last before
a somewhat dingy-looking house. He
rang the bell, which was answered by
a trim-looking little maidservant.

"Say, is that anywhere near the

citedly.
cts not far away" Quest replied,
quickly. 'Why?"
''Ill tell you why" Laura explained.
II was as sure of it as anyone could
be. Craig passed me in Southampton
water this morning, being rowed out
to steamer. Not only that, but he
recognized me. I saw him draw back
and hide his face, but somehow
couldn't believe that it was really he.
I was just coming down the gangway

so surprised"
Quest was already turning over the
pages of the timetable.

"Tonight-somewher about seven"
Laura replied.
Quest glanced at the clock and
threw down the timetable. He turned
toward the door. They all followed
him.

nounced. ''I'm going to try to get on
board that steamer before she sails.

lie down. They'll give you a room

II shall accompany you," the pro-
fessor declared.
"And nothing" Lenora declared,
firmly, as she caught at Quests arm,

''Tll telephone to Scotland Yard, in
case they care to send man down."
Quest decided.
They caught train to Southamp-
ton, where they were Joined by man
from Scotland Yard. The little party
drove as quickly as possible to the
docks.
Where does the Barton start

The man pointed out little way
down the water.
"She's not in dock, SIR" he said.
"She's lying out yonder. You'll bare
1y catch her, I'm afraid" he added,
glancing at the clock:
They hurried to the edge of the
quay.
LOOK here" Quest cried, raising
his voice, "Pll give ten-pound note
to anyone who gets me out to the
Barton before she sails"
The little party were almost thrown
into a tug, and in a few minutes they
were skimming across the smooth
water. Just as they reached the
steamer, however, she began to move.

The captain came down from the

with the pilot.

Quest stood, frowning, upon the
pavement, gazing at the obviously
empty house. He looked once more
at the slip of paper which Lenora had
given him. There was no possibility
of any mistake:
