and hurry!"
Quest hung up the receiver.
Inspector French was as good, even
better than his word In a surpris
ingly short time he entered the room,
followed by Laura and Lenora. Quest
gave them hand each, but it was
into Lenora's eyes that he looked.

French reported, "out Grayson avenue

There was knock at the door. A
young man entered I'M chauffeur's liv-

Quest motioned him to come in.
I'll just repeat my story of that
morning, Mr.. French. Quest said. 1--WE

starting for home those two thugs

my escape. They went on in my au-

out whatI say, also that they arrived
at the place in my automobile"
Inspector French held out his hand.
"Mr. Quest" he said, Il reckon we'll
have to withdraw the case against
| you. No hard feelings, l hope?"
None at ALL" Quest replied prompt
ly, taking his hand. l
Quest stood upon the threshold
watching the sheriff and his prison
ers leave the house. The former
turned round to wave his adieux.

Quest leaned forward and saw the

"All the same the inspector re-

He fitted the combination and swung
open the door, He stood there for a
moment speechless. Something in his
attitude attracted the inspectors at

"what is it, Mr.. Quest?" he asked
eagerly.
Quest drew little breath. Exactly
facing him, in the spot where the jew

He brought it to the table and re

hundred willing hands to release him.
Quest drew up the rope quickly,
Warnedsby a roar. ofsanxious voices
Then he commenced to descend, let
ting himself down hand over hand, al
ways with one eye upon that length
OF rope that swung below. Suddenly,
as he reached the second floor a lit
tie cry from the crowd warned him
OF what had happened. Tongues Of
flame curling out from the blazing
building had caught the rope, which
was being burned through not dozen
feet away from him. He descended
a little farther and paused in mid
air.
A shout from the crowd reached
him.
The cables! Try the cables!"
He glanced round. Seven or eight
feet away. and almost level with him,
was double row of telegraph wires.
Almost as he saw them the rope below
him burned through and fell to the
ground. He swung little towards
the side Of the house, pushed himself
vigorously away from it with his feet,
and at the farthest point of the out
ward swing jumped. His hands crap
pied the telegraph wires safely. Even
in that tense. moment he heard little
sob Of relief from the people below
Hand over hand he made his way
to the nearest pole and slipped easily
to the ground. The crowd immediate
ly surged around him.
Where is the man who came down
before me?" he asked bystander.
Talking to the police in the car
over yonder," was the hoarse reply.
Say. guv'nor, you only just made
that!"
Craig pushed his way through the
crowd to where Craig was speaking
eagerly to French. lie sto pped short
and stopped down. He was near
enough to hear the formers words.
"Mr. French, you saw the man come
down the ropes and swing on the Ca
bles? That was Quest, Sanford Quest.
the man who escaped from the Tombs
prison. He can't have got away yet"
Quest drew off his coat, turned it In
side out and replaced 1t swiftly. He
coolly picked up a hat someone had
lost in the crowd and pulled it over
his eyes. He passed within few
feet of where Craig and the inspector
were talking.
"Say, boys, Sanford Quest is in the
crowd somewhere. He's the man who
jumped on the cable lines. A hun
dred dollars for his arrest!"
Quest turned reluctantly away. Men
were rushing about in all directions
for him.

The man shivered. His eyes, as
though fascinated, watched the little
instrument.

continued. Craig is here and in my
power. He is sitting within a few
feet of me and will not leave this
room until he has told me your where

The trapped man looked away from
the instrument into Quests face.
There was a momentary flicker of
something that might have passed for
courage in his tone.
"Mr. Quest" he said, you are a
wonderful man, but there are limits to
your power. You can tear my tongue
out from my mouth, but you cannot
force me to speak"
Quest leaned a little farther for

more concentrated. <.s

smile of triumph flickered for a mo-

The whole gamut of emotions
seemed already to have spent them
selves in the mans face, but at that
moment there was new element, an
element of terrified curiosity in the
expression of his eyes as he stared
towards the door.
'Is this another trick of yours?" he
muttered.
Quest, too, turned his head and
sprang instantly to his feet. From un-
derneath the door came little puff
of smoke. There was a queer sense
of heat of which both men were ST.

chair and greeted Quest with some
surprise, but also a little disappoint-

"Any mail for me, professor" he
asked abruptly.
The professor opened drawer and
handed him telegram.
."Only this!"
Quest opened it and read 1t through.
It was from the sheriff Of small
town in Connecticut: -
''The men you inquired for are both
here. They have sold an automobile
and seem to be spending the proceeds.
Shall l arrest?"
Quest studied the message for q
moment.
Say, this il rather interesting, pro-
fessor," he remarked. "These are
the two thugs who set upon me
| at the section house. They killed the
signal man, who could have been
my alibi, and swiped my car, in
which, as It cannot be found, French
supposes that l returned to New York.
With their arrest the case against
me collapses. tell you frankly, pro
fessor," Quest continued frowning. Il

that the quickest way to set things

observed grimly. Il rather fancy Sing

Quest stepped OF the cars at Bethel

sheriff met him at the depot and greet

prise.

they turned away, Il know these men
