it would have done its work in few
minutes You might not feel 1t for
some time, but you would have been

Both Elaine and Aunt Josephine
were overcome as they thought Of
the peril from which Elaine had been
so narrowly rescued. Even Kennedy
could not restrain a shudder. For
the moment he forgot even about
Inez. Then, suddenly. he recollected.
"Oh. by the way" he exclaimed,
I've had Walter take woman over
to the laboratory. He must be there

It was only a few minutes after he
had been warned by the gypsy that
WI himself glided into the hall lead
ing to the main room Of the labora-
tory. He listened a moment, then,
hearing nothing, was about to open
the door with his skeleton key. As
he started to do so, his eyes fell on
the fire escape outside.
He reconsidered. Perhaps it would
be best to reconnoiter. Snakelike he
wormed his way up the fire escape
which led to the back room. There,
as we grouped ourself about the
sphygmograph while Kennedy ex-
planned his plans, Wu's sinister face
gazed in at US for a moment, then
withdrew. Silently he made his way

did not know It at the time, but
just as we were about to start and
were moving toward the door, the
gypsy. breathless and tagged, reached
the hallway Of the apartment. She
was about to go in when she heard
Inez and myself going out. She
dropped back into the convenient shell
ter which Kennedy had used before.
and when We came out We did not
see anyone in the hall. Az we dis
appeared, she emerged and cautiously
followed US.
In spite Of my fears Inez went with
out q scene to the laboratory. We
entered, I. at least. not knowing that
pair Of black eyes watched every
movement. The fake gypsy saw US
60 in, then hastily came out of door
way into which she had slipped and
hurried downtown.
1t was not long after I arrived, how.
ever, that Kennedy and Elaine Joined
me at the laboratory. Kennedy had
evidently carefully prepared Just what
he intended to do. Quickly he forced
Inez into the chair which he had al
ready shown Elaine, and fastened the
straps about her arms.
walter, will you and Elaine go into
the next room?" he asked as he fin
ished securing the woman.
A moment later he followed carry
ing the dial OF the sphygmograph. He
fastened It to the concealed wires that
connected with the arms of the chair,
describing to us in a whisper the ac-
ton Of the strange little instrument
which by blood pressure read not only
the disease Of the heart, but even the
secret emotions.
He had purposely left the door be-
tween the front and back rooms ajar.
but he did not intend that Inez should
hear this explanation.
I'VE know that WI Fang's head
quarters are on Pell street." he con-
cluded to us in his muffled tone. THE
sphygmograph will tell us the number.
If we ask her the right questions. She
may keep silent. but she cannot con-
ceal her feelings from this instru-
ment"
Already, although we did not know
1t. the gypsy had gone straight to WI
