Intense interest attached to the Norfolk
report that the holding up of British
merchant vessels last Friday for q hours
was by direct order of British Consuls

report Is lacking it was generally be-
lieved that the British Admiralty wished
to keep the seas off the Capes free of it's
own cargo shipping at a time when the
Eitel was expected to make a dash for
freedom.
Significance was attached to reports
that the battleship Alabama had cleared
for action off the Capes. Clearing for

to have consisted only of shifting OF the

her guns.

1T appears that the note was framed

however, though in a yelled manner the
accusation is made that she is not OBJ

"The best we know is that Jimmy, the

the big man crossed himself and his voice
dropped "The Virgin defend us!"

And a minute later the "E. p" operator
answered. There had been no alarm.
"That's the way it was goin'" went on
the big Inspector, and he pointed toward
the pool
ONE of the patrolmen had already
stepped in upon the tiled floor and
switched on the great moony, bell-like
dome. AS they followed him, the same
tranquil radiance shone down upon mar
bic and tiles and water as had lit their
first search, when the horrors of the MUIR
der itself were revealed. There was the
same deadly stiffness, too.
Once more they examined walls and
windows, the bank of plants, now begin
ming to wither, the very pool itself
They found nothing. If any one, or
anything, had made a midnight visit
there, neither sign nor trace was left be-
hind.
And then suddenly McGloyne's great
shoulders gave start.
"'rhe doors, Doctor" he said al never
noticed them before. The doors!" .
"'The doors?" But if Laneham had re-
membered all of Jimmy's story, he would
have known what the big man meant.

" SHoW Sou III toNtIlH tuls JOD,
I'll begin right here, outside"
Dropping from the machine, he lightly
whistled.
Immediately big figure, obviously
plain-clothes man, stepped out from the
shelter of a doorway
"That's number one. An got his fell

He spoke to the driver, and, standing
on the running-board, had himself carried
on to the service entrance on the. south
side of the great apartment-house.

This time he tapped on the high iron
grill-work gate.
Again Immediately his sentry showed
himself.
Same peg-post work at the north side,"
he said, IAN I'd like to see what your
friend Grady could put again that"
"How about the Casa Reale?" Lane
ham asked.
"There amt any connection between
the two houses. You can't even get from
Casa Grande to a Casa Reale window.
If you could, I'd have things screwed
down there as WELL Now We'll go inside"
He pushed on through the big main en-
trance.
Yet, even in the rotunda, he stopped
again, to point with his blunted thumb to
the little room behind the telephone-desk

Then he passed on to an elevator.

He turned the corner, and a sentry stepped
out to meet them. whats more, it's

"And here"-he turned another corner
"is the other"
At it, too, one more patroman stood
on guard.
"Grady an his hands! Nowcome on in.
He opened the door. The deep-pied
hall runner of the inside corridor took
their footballs. And, pulling out the click
ing key, the big Inspector turned toward
the little inner stair-when he stopped.
He stopped and they all stopped. And
once more Vikings, at least. had that sense
of his heart-beats stopping. From above
them, and inside the rooms that had been
Mrs. Fishers, there had come what might
have been the echo of that clicking key.
They stopped short, their faces crying
out the terror in their hearts An echo!
But it was not an echo. They all of them
knew it was not. And while they stood
there it came again.
"Say, what the McGloyne barely
breathed it. His eyes were on the Doe

that Laneham knew as little as he did
himself.
Again that click of metal in door, as if
the lock, turned slowly and cautiously,
had finally fallen into place.
And then suddenly once more a hand
was knocking!

We're opening to it, as they had before.
Scarcely an hour before, Vikings had
told himself that if ever again he should
hear anything like that knocking, he
would try better to note and analyze what
it was he heard. Now his chance had
come, and he could only stiffen himself
there, blood-chilled, his very pulses listen
ing.
Beside him the patrolman was crossing
himself again and again.
Three times the hand had raped
before. They waited, still breathless, and
again it came:
Tdp-tap-tap'
And with that third knocking came the
voice.
"My God!" it moaned, slowly and hor-
ribly, as from the damned "My God!
Oh, my God"
None stirred. None could stir, till the
last signing echo of it had died away
And now McGloyne, too, was crossing
himself. Nor could any one have believed
that so much color could have left that
purple jowl.
"You've got me, Doctor, he whispered.
"And, my God-the Professor!"
Fisher was holding to the jamb of the
corridor door. Without it he plainly would
have fallen. Laneham leaped to his side.
81 hat an aneurism-my heart iss bad"
he said congestedly. "Let me get outd"
Laneham took him by one ARM and
McGloyne lifted him by the other.
"You amt ever heard it before, Pro-
fessor?" he asked.
mo, no! No, neffer! Let me get oudt,
Help me oudt."
They helped him into the big Jacobean
reception-room, turned on the lights, and
left him with the patrolman who had been
at the other door,
Then they returned to the white-faced
officer who had been with them.
"Call up Hines from below" his chief
commanded him, IAN We'll go through.
You'll go with us, Doctor" 1t was as
ever come. The Doctor nodded.
"Ill say now therell be nothin for eyes
to see or hands to touch, continued the
big fellow. But it's in the line O duty,
an We'll make our inspection"
They mounted the little stair. Again,
even as when Laneham and the Judge
had tried to break in after the murder, all
three corridor doors to that private suite
were locked. Again, when they had
thrown on the inside lights. they could
see at first glance that those little rooms
We're empty.
McGloyne crossed to the windows.

"Can you tell me-" Laneham asked,
