old. He looked upon the floor and he
looked across to the sofa. Then he
looked at French.

The professor pushed past. He had
looked around the room, and gazed at
the two bodies with an expression of
blank and absolute terror. Then he
fell back into Craig's arms.
"The poor girl" he cried "Horri-
BILE! Horrible! Horrible!"
Know anything about this?' Quest
asked quickly.
Not thing" the inspector replied.
We arrived, Mrs Rheinholdt and |,

Quest stood over the body of his
valet for moment. The man was OBJ
viously dead. The inspector took his
handkerchief and covered up the head.
A few feet away was a heavy paper.

Killed by a blow from behind, -
French remarked grimly, with that
little affair. Look here!"
They glanced down at the girl.
Quests eyebrows came together quick
ly. There were two blue marks upon
her throat where a mans thumb
might have been.
The hands again" he muttered.
The inspector nodded
Can you make anything Of it?"
Not yet, Quest confessed. 81 must
think"
The inspector glanced at him curl
ously.
Where on earth have you been to?"
he demanded.
Been to-" Quest repeated.
Look in the mirror" French sug
gested.
Quest glanced at himself. His col
lar had given way, his tie was torn, n
button and some of the cloth had been
wrenched from his coat, his trousers
were torn and he was covered with
dust.
'I'll tell you about my trouble lit
tie later on" he replied. Say, can't
we keep those girls out?"
They we're too late. Laura and Len
ora were already upon the threshold.
Quest swung round toward them.
Girls" he said, there has been
some trouble here. Go and wait up
stairs, Lenora. or sit In the hall.

with your cursed prying into other
peoples affairs. Don't you remember
me, EN-? Red Gallagher"
"Of course | 90" Quest replied
coolly. You garroted and robbed an
old man and had the spree of your life.
The old man happened to be a friend
of mine, so took the trouble to see
that you paid for it. Well?'
Five years of hell. that's what
had" the man continued, his eyes
flashing, his face twitching with an
ger. We'll, you're going TO have a
little bit more than five years. This
sheds been burnt down twice, sparks
from passing engines. It's going to
be burnt down for the third time"
Sounds remarkably unpleasant"
Quest admitted. You'd better hurry
or the boss will be back
Gallagher finally slammed the door.
Quest heard the heavy footsteps OF
the two men as they turned toward
the section house. He drew a little
case from his pocket.
He opened what seemed to be
little mahogany box, looked at the ball

Laura, you had better telephone to
the police station and for a 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.
rs that Ross?" she asked.
It's his body" Quest replied. He's
been murdered here, he and the Saliva
tion Army girl who was to come this
morning for her check"
Laura turned away half dazed.
I'd 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 it
was stamped the name of Sanford
Quest
This yours, Quest?"
"Of course 1t is Quest answered.
Everything in the room is mine.
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 al
small clock 1t had stopped at eleven
fifteen. He looked at it thoughtfully.
Quest" he went on, I'm have to
ask you a question"
why not?" Quest replied looking
quickly up.
Where were you at eleven-fitteen"
"On tower No. 10 of the New York
Central, scrapping for my life Quest
answered grimly. I've reason 10 re-
member it,"
Something in the inspectors steady
gaze seemed to inspire the criminolo-
gist with new idea. He came a step
forward, little frown upon his fore
head.
Say, French" he exclaimed you

French was unmoved He look

CHAPTER XII.

Mrs Rheinholdt welcomed the in
spector with a beaming smile as he
stepped out OF his Office and ap-
preached her automobile.
How nice of YOU to be so punctual,
Mr.. French she exclaimed, making
room for him by her side. will you
tell the man to drive TO Mr.. Quests
house in Georgia square?"
The inspector obeyed and took his
place in the luxurious limousine.
How beautifully punctual We are"
she continued, glancing at the clock.

Quest took his place.

The man slipped in his clutch. They
were in the act of gliding off when
there was a tremendous report. They
stopped short. The man jumped down
and looked at the back tire.
Blowout" he remarked laconically.
Quest frowned.
How long will 1t take?"
-Four minutes" the man replied.

the queerest blowout ever saw.

The two men leaned over the tire.
Suddenly Quests expression changed.
His hand stole into his hip pocket.
"Tom," he explained that wasn't

He pointed to the small level hole.
Almost at once he stood back and the
sunshine flashed upon the revolver

He stopped down to unfasten the
straps which fastened the spare wheel.
1t was one Of his rare lapses, realized
a moment too late Almost in his ears
came the hoarse cry:

Quest glanced over his shoulder and
looked into the face of Red Gallagher.

road. 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
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.

Red Gallagher ordered. You don't
want anyone who comes by to see.
Now lend me hand with this chap"

minutes talk, to start with You see

Perfectly we'll" Quest assented.
"My eyesight is quite normal"
Get there then. I'm a 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.
ITS 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, its not

The striking miners, still direct
ed and guided by the non-resi-
dent labor agitators, are getting
further and further away from a
settlement Of the strike. The
mine owners have positively re-
fused to confere with represent
atives of the Western Federation,
but agreed to meet a committee
of their employees to arrange a
basis Of agreement. Yet under
the directing hand of the nom
resident salaried agitator the
committee consisted Of officers of
the federation, and one was a
discharged employe who had lost
his job several months before
the strike, and as the agitators
expected, the mine owners re-
fused to meet them. This makes
it possible for the agitators to
stir up more trouble, and widen
the breech. Then a little more
agitation, and then will come
lawlessness and riots, a probable
clash with the militia, a few
deaths Of innocent men; and
where is the nonresident agita-
tors? Safe in some other state,
looking for other fields where
they can stir up trouble.
