also became known that there was a
fire at the Bethlehem plant. In the aft
ernoon rally. however, the issue rose
thirty points from the low closing for a
net loss OF only i've points.
Tonnage Figures known EARLY.
It was an open market in the financial
district before the steel tonnage figures
were printed today as to what they
would approximate. Some Arms were In
possession of the information some time
before the actual figures were an
nounced. and this accounted in some
degree for the good buying Of the stock
during the forenoon.
Insiders Mihed at Dodge.
insiders OF the Midvale Steel and Ord
nance Company are reported to be min-
ed at the arnateurish way in which Nj. II.
Dodge. a director, Is reported to have
recently disposed OF a large part Of his
holdings of Midvale stock wheR the price
was advancing to the high levels Other
insiders in the company are said to have
also disposed Of 4 small part OF their
holdings in order that the public might
participate and that a broad market
might be created but these insiders took
the precaution to sell certificates that
were in the name OF brokers whereas Mr..
Dodge Is said to have sold certificates
bearing his name. The appearance OF
certificates with his name Immediately
started reports that at least one Of the
directors was taking advantage of the
high prices to convert some of his paper
ened the market for the stock and one
insider is reported to have been so dis
gruntled as to make a remark about
some business men being in the kinder
garten class so far as the stock market
is concerned.
Brokers declared today that westing-
house Electric was perhaps the only war
stock that could be sold in large guam
titles without causing sharp concessions
in price. The existence of q good market
on which to sell this issue was attributed
to the policy Of the company in con-
tinually keeping its shareholders posted
in regard TO its war-order business.
Complaints from Customers.
Owing to the rapid fluctuations In the
war stocks on Tuesday many commission
houses received complaints from custom
ers on executions. One man in particular
was dissatisfied with the way In which
his short sale in Studebsker was covered.
When the stock was selling at l62 he
went short and ordered 1t covered at
l57 l-2. He declares that there were 500
shares being offered "at the market"
when the stock sold at l57 l-2. and that
his brokers bought his stock at that
price, notwithstanding that there were
no other bidders. The next sale was at a
concession OF eight and a half points.
Railroad convertible bonds were reac-
tionary in the early dealings, but turned
strong with the rally in railroad shares.
Southern Pacific convertible IS were con-
spicuous for their strength. Short-term
note dealers declare there is less selling
OF short-term notes by individuals desir-
Gus Of specializing IN the stock market.
The institutions, however. continue to
purchase notes at high prices. A good
institutional demand for equipment trust
is also reported.

CHAPTER xxv!.

Quest took the dispatch which the hotel clerk handed to him one after noon a fortnight later. and read 1t through without change of expres- sion Lenora, however. who was by his side, knew at once that 1t con tained something startling.
 What is it?" she asked
 He passed his arm through hers and led her down the hall to where the professor and Laura were just wait ing for the lift. He beckoned them to follow him to a corner of the lounge.
 There's one thing l quite forgot. q fortnight ago" he said. slowly, when I suggested that we should none of us look at a newspaper until the time we were in California Have you kept to our bargain, professor?"
 Absolutely"
 And you. girls?"
 I've never even seen one." Lenora declared.
 Nor l." Laura echoed.
 "T made a mistake" Quest con fessed Something has happened which we ought to have known about. You had better read this message or, wait, I'll read it aloud:
 To Sanford Quest, Garfield Hotel, San Diego. Injured in wreck of linn lted. Recovered consciousness today. Craig reported burned in wreck put think you had better come on.

 Say, when can we start7" Laura exclaimed excitedly.
 Lenora clutched at Quests arm.
 'T knew it," she declared simply. 'T felt perfectly certain, when they left San Francisco, that something would happen. We haven't see the end of Craig yet"
 Quest. who had been studying a timetable, glanced once more at the dispatch.
 Look here" he said. "Allguez isn't so far out of the way if we take the southern route to New York. Let's get move on tonight"
 Laura led the way to the lift. She was in state of rare discomposure. ITO think that all the time we've been giddying round.' she muttered, that poor man has been lying In hos pitall Makes one feel like a brute"

slips us again. I'm going to stay here with the bunch
 The inspector sighed. His face had grown long and the buoyancy had passed from his manner.
 They found the others waiting for them at the end of the great wooden shed. Quest turned to French.
 Look here, French" he said, you know l don't want to hurry you off. but don't know what we're going to do with this fellow about in San Fran cisco. We don't want to lodge two charges, and we should have to put him in jail tonight. Why don't you take him on right away? There's a limited goes by the southern route in an hours time."
 French assented gloomily.
 That suits me-" he agreed. You'll be glad to get rid of the fellow, too, ' he added.
 They drove straight to the depot. found two vacant seats in the train. and Quest, with little sigh of relief. handed over his charge.
 Now for a little holiday" Quest de clared passing Lenora's arm through his. "Well just have look around the city and then get down to San Diego and take look at the exposi- tion there. No responsibilities, no one to look after, nothing to do but enjoy ourselves
 
 Quest and Lenora turned away from the window of the hotel, out of which they had been gazing for the last quarter of an hour.
 It's too beautiful" Lenora sighed.
 Quest stood for moment shaking his head. The professor, with a pile of newspapers stretched out before him, was completely engrossed in their perusal. Laura, who had been sitting in an armchair at the farther end of the apartment, was apparently deep in thought.
 Say. you two are no sort of people for holiday Quest declared. AS for you, Laura, l cant think what's come over you. You never opened your mouth at dinner time, and you sit there now looking like nothing on earth
 q am beginning to suspect her." Le- nora chimed in "Too bad he had to hurry away, dear!"
 Laura's indignation was not alto gether convincing. Quest and Lenora exchanged amused glances, The for mer picked up the newspaper from the floor and calmly turned out the pro fessor's lamp
 Look here," he explained, this is the first night of our holiday. I'm go, ing to run the party and I'm going to make the rules. No more newspapers tonight or for a fortnight. You un understand? No reading. nothing but | frivolity. And no iovesickness. Miss Laura"
 'Lovesickness, indeed!" she re | peated scornfully,

SYNOPSIS.

Sanford Quest, master criminologist Of the world, finds that in bringing to justice Macdougal, the murderer of Lord Ash leighs daughter he has but just begun a life-and-death struggle with a mysterious master criminal. In hidden hut in Pro- lessor Ashleighs garden he has seen an ape skeleton and a living creature, half monkey, half man, destroyed by fire. In his rooms have appeared black boxes con taining notes, signed by a pair of armless hands. Laura and Lenora. his assistants. suspect Craig. the professor 8 servant, of a double murder. The black boxes con- tinue to appear in uncanny fashion. Craig is trapped, but escapes to England, where Quest, Lenora and the professor follow him Lord Ashlelgh is murdered by the Hands Craig Is captured and escapes to Port Said, where Quest and his party also ga, and beyond into the desert. They are captured by Mongars. among whom Craig seems to be in authority escape with Craig as their captive and are rescued by British troops.
The Spectator., 1915-11-05

"He's been unconscious all the time," Quest reminded her.
 Might have expected to find us there when he came to, anyway, Laura insisted
 Lenora smiled faintly as she caught a glance from Quest.
 'Laura's got a heart somewhere, she muttered, "only it takes an awful lot of getting at!"
 They found French. already conva- lescent, comfortably installed in the private ward of a small hospital in the picturesque New Mexico town. Laura almost at once established herself by his side.
 Can you remember anything about the wreck, French?" Quest inquired
 The inspector passed his hand wearily over his forehead.
 Tt seems more like a dream-or rather 2 nightmare-than anything" he admitted q was sitting opposite Craig when the crash came. I was unconscious for a time When I came to. was simply pinned down by the side of the car. I could see a man working hard to release me, tugging and straining with all his might. Every now and then 1 got a glimpse of his face. It seemed queer, but 1 could have sworn it was Craig. Then other people passed by. I heard the shriek of locomotive. could see a doctor bending over some bodies. Then it all faded away and came back again. The second time I was nearly free. The man who had been working so hard was just smashing the last bit of timber away. and again I saw his face and that time I was sure that it was Craig. Anyway he finished the job l suddenly felt I could move my limbs. The man stood up as though exhausted, looked at me, called to the doctor, and then he seemed to fade away It might have been because I was unconscious myself, for I don't remember anything else until found myself in bed"
 Tt would indeed" the professor re- marked, be an interesting circum- stance-an interesting psychological circumstance. if l might put it that way-if Craig, the arch-criminal, the man who has seemed to us so utterly devoid of all human feeling. should really have toiled in this manner to set free his captor.'
 Interesting or not" Quest ob- served, I'd like to know whether 1t was Craig or not. l understand there were about a dozen unrecognizable bodies found.'
 The nurse. who had left the room for a few minutes, returned with small package in her hand, which she handed to French. He looked at it in a puzzled manner.
 Say, what can that be-" he nut me all right, but there isn't soul knows I'm here except you folks. Will | you open it. Miss Laura?" She took it from him and united the strings. A little breathless cry es- | capped from her lips as she tore open the paper A small black box was dis closed She opened the lid with trem- | ping ringers ana drew out scrap or | paper. They all leaned over and read | together
 You have all lost again. Why not l give up? You can never win. THE HANDS" Lenora was perhaps the calmest. | She simply nodded with the melan- choly air of satisfaction of one who finds her preconceived ideas con- 1 firmed.
 T knew it!" she exclaimed softly. ''J knew it at the depot. Craigs time has not come yet. He may be some where near us, even now" She glanced uneasily around the ward. Quest who had been examin-

 The postmarks all blurred out" he remarked There's no doubt about it. that fellow Craig has the devils own luck. but we'll get him-well get him yet. I'll just take a stroll up to police headquarters and make a few inquiries You might come with me. Lenora, and Laura can get busy with her amateur nursing"
