seated in his chair with two huge vol

and a pen in his hand. They could
even catch the look OF sympathy on
his face as he listened attentively. Sud

gripped Laura by the arm. The door
Of the study had been opened slowly,
and Craig, carrying a bundle, paused
for a moment on the threshold. He
glanced nervoCsly toward the profess
sor, who seemed unaware Of his en-
trance. Then he moved stealthily to-
ward the fireplace, stopped down and
committed something to the flames.
The relief on his face, as he stood up,
was obvious A.%

Lenora started up and hastily put on
her coat and hat, which were still ly-
ing on the chair. ..,-O,

Laura walked with her as far as the
street car, and very soon afterward
Lenora found herself knocking at the
professors front door. Craig admitted
her almost at once. For a moment he
seemed to SILVER as he recognized her.

said, "have you thought of something

there ic anything i can do depend
upon me. Personally, j am convinced
that Craig will return to me with
some plausible explanation as to what

Quest, for the third or fourth time
moved cautiously toward the window.
His expression suddenly changed. He
glanced suddenly downward, frowned
slightly.
They're after mel" he exclaimed.
"Sit still, professor"
He darted into his room and reap
peared again almost Immediately. The
professor gave a. gasp Of astonish.
ment at his altered appearance. His
tweed suit seemed to have been turned
inside out. There were NJ lapels now,
and 1t was buttoned up to his neck. He
wore a long white apron; a peaked
cap and a chinpiece Of astonishing
n%aturalness had transformed him into
the semblance OLA Dutch grocer's boy.

I have not been here, remember"
He ran lightly down the steps and
into the kitchen, picked UP a basket,
filled it haphazard with vegetables and
threw a cloth owe the top, Then he
made his way to the front door. peered
out for a moment, swung, through it
on to the step, and, turning round,
commenced to belabor it with. his fist.
Two plain-clothes men stood at the
end of the street. A police automo.
bile drew up outside the gate. Inspec.
tor French, attended by a policeman,
stepped out. The former looked search

French smiled. .l
"You run along home" he said, "and
tell your master that he had better
leave off delivering goods here for the
present" 70 -.+ .I
Quest went off, grumbling. French
opened the door with a master key
and secured it carefully, leaving one Of
his men to guard it. He searched the
rooms on the ground floor and finally
assembled to Quests study. The pro-
fessor was still enjoying his cigar.
f"Say, where's Quest?" the inspector
asked promptly.
Have you let him out already?" the
professor replied, in a tone Of mild
surprise. II thought he was in the
prison"
The inspector pressed on without
answering. Every room in the house
ransacked. Presently ne came
back to the room where the professor

was still sitting. His usually good.
humored face was a little clouded.

matter, Miles?",
IA p~lain.clothes man from the street
had come hurrying into the room.
N"Say, Mr.. French he reported, "'our
fellows have got hold of a neWsie
down in the street. who was coming
along way round the back and saw
two men enter this house by the side
entrance, half an hour ago. One he
described exactly as the professor
here. The other. without a doubt, was
Quest"
French turned swiftly toward the
professor.
"You hear what this man says?"
he exclaimed. Mr.. Ashleigh, you're
fooling me! You entered this house
with Sanford Quest. You will have
to tell us where he is hiding"
The professor knocked the ash from
his cigar and-replaced, it In his mouth.
His clasped hands rested in front
Of him. There was a twinkle Of some.
thing like mirth in his eyes as he
glanced up at the inspector.
i"Mr. French" he said, mi. Sanford

charge Of. his house. Believing as I
do that his arrest was an egregious
.blunder, l shall say or do nothing like.

French turned impatientlys away.
Suddenly a light broke in upon him;
he rushed toward the door.
That id Dutchie!" he exclaimed
The professor smiled benignly.

Quest moved to the bars. It was
Laura who stood there. She wasted
very little time in preliminaries. Hav.
Ing satisfied herself that the guard
was out of hearing, she leaned as close
as she could to Quest.
Look here" she said, "Lenora's
crazy with the idea that Craig has
done these jobs-Craig, the profes.
sor's servant, you know. We used the
phototelesme yesterday afternoon and
saw him bumesomething in the pro-

Craig's surprise was real enough
as he opened the back door of the pro
lessons house on the following morn
ing and found Lenora standing on the
threshold.
Lenora smiled pleasantly.
II came to this door," she said, '"be.
cause | wanted a little talk with you"
Craig's attitude was perfect. He was
mystiied but he remained respectful.
Twill you come inside?" he invited.
She shook her head.
II am afraid" she confided, "of what
I am going to say being overheard,
Come with me down to the garage
for a moment"
He opened the doors Of the garage,
leaving the keys in the lock, and they
both passed inside. Il
"You can say what you please here
without the slightest fear Of being
overheard, MISS" Craig remarked.
Lenora nodded, and breathed a
prayer to herself. She was nearer
the door than Craig by about half a
dozen PAGES. Her hand CROPPED in the
little bag she was carrying and
gripped something hard. She clenched
her teeth for a moment. Then the
automatic pistol flashed out through
the gloom.
Craig" she threatened, If you
move I shall shoot YOU"
1t seemed as though the man were
a coward. He began to tremble, his
lips twitched, his eyes grew larger
and rounder.

do you want?"
"Just this" Lenora said firmly. II
suspect you to be guilty of the crime
for which Sanford Quest is in prison.
I am going to have you questioned.
If you are innocent you have nothing
to fear. If you are guilty there will
be someone here before long who will
extract the truth from you"
The mans face was an epitome Of
terror. Even his knees shook. Lenora
felt herself grow calmer with every
moment. a. ~

presently"
Don't CO." he begged suddenly.

me here, you will do more harm than
you can dream Of" !
1T is for other people to decide
about your innocence" Lenora said
calmly. Il have nothing to do with
that. If you r wise you will stop
here quietly"

A expression Of relief shone for a
moment upon his face. Lenora point
ed to a stool.
"Sit down there and wait quietly
she ordered.
He obeyed without a word. She
left the place, locked the door Sc.
curely, and made her way round to the
other side of the garage-the side
hidden from the house. Here. at the
far corner, she drew a little pocket
wireless from her bag and set it on
the window sill. Very slowly she sent
her message:
have Craig here n the professors

succeeded, come at once. ! am watt
ing for you.
There was no reply. She sent the
message again and again. Suddenly,
during a pause, there was a little flash
lpon the plate. A message was com.

have been wearing. We put them on
n side, but they amt enough evi.
dence. Lenora's idea is that. you
should get hold of Craig and hypnotic
him into a confession"
That's all right" Quest replied,
"but how am to get hold of him."
Laura glanced once more ~carelessly
around to where the guard stood.
"Lenora's gone up to the professors
again this afternoon: She is going to
try and get hold of Craig and lock him
in the garage. If she succeeds, she
will send. a message by wireless at
three O'Clock. It is half.past two
now" p :
"Well?" Quest exclaimed. "Well?"
"You can work this guard, If you
want to-" Lenora went on. 81 have
seen you tackle worse cases. He seems
dead easy. Then let me in the cell,
take my clothes and leave me here"
Quest followed the scheme in his
mind quickly.
1T is all right" he decided, "but I
am not at all SUI that they can really
hold me on the evidence they have
got. If they can't, ! shall be doing N.Y.
self more harm than good in this
way"
ITS no use unless you can get hold
OF Craig quickly" Laura said. HE Is
getting the scares, as it is"
"1ll do it," Quest decided, Call tho
guard, Laura"
She obeyed. The man came good.
naturally toward them.
Quest looked at him steadfastly
through the bars. "
II want you to come inside for a
moment" Quest repeated softly. "Un-
look the door, please, take the key of
your bunch and come inside"
The man hesitated, but all the time
his fingers were fumbling with the
keys. Quests lips continued to move.
The warder opened the door and en-
tered. A few minutes later Quest
passed the key through the window to
Laura. who was standing on guard.
Without a word, and with marvellous
rapidity, the change was effected.
Laura produced from her handbag a
wig, which she pinned inside her hat
and passed over to Quest. Then she
flung herself on to the bed and drew
the blanket up to her chin.
How long will he stay like that?"
she whispered, pointing to the warder,
who was sitting on the floor with his
arms folded and his eyes closed.
Half and hour or So" Quest an
swered. Don't bother about him. I
shall drop the key back through the
window"
Quest reached Georgia square at
five minutes to three. A glance up
and down assured him that the house
was unmatched. He let himself IN
with his own key, threw Laura's
clothes off, and, after a few moments
hesitation, selected from the ward
robe a rough tweed suit with a thick
lining and lapels. Just as he was
tying his tie, the little wireless which
he had laid on the table at his side
began to record a message. He glanced
at the clock. 1t was exactly three.
Quests eyes shone for a moment
with satisfaction. Then he sent of
his answering message, put on a dus-
ter and SLOUGH hat, and left the house
by the side entrance. In a few mo
ments he was in Broadway, and a

LAUGHTER AS A COSMETIC.

We love fun and people who make
us laugh, because we know that there
is not the remotest little blood vessel
in our bodies that does not feel some
warmth from the commissions produced
by hearty laughter.
Youth is usually healthy and laugh
ter loving and we are told that healthy
persons laugh from the sheer Joy of
living. but sometimes think that the
person is healthy because he looks
upon life through eyes crinkled up
with smiles. You never see any one
who Is i'll laughing.
Laughter Is the blessed gift which
God reserved for human beings and
do not think we appreciate 1t at its
great value. A smiling woman is al
ways beautiful, and she also makes
pleasant friend and comfortable
