''I shall not the girl objected. My uncle told me, if anything happened to him, that I was to remain here.''
 And remain here she shall as long as she likes" Mrs. Malony insisted. i've given my promise, too, to look after her, and MT Craig knows that I am an honest woman"
 You may be that" the man re- piled, "but it's just as well for you both to understand this. I'm from the police and what I say goes. No harm will come to the girl, Mrs. Malony, and she shall come back here, but for the present she is going to accompany me to headquarters If you make any trouble, only have to blow my whis- tie and I can fill your house with po- licemen."
 I'll go,' the girl whispered.
 In silence she put on her hat and coat, in silence she drove with him to the police station, where she was shown at once into the inspectors of flee. The man who had brought her
 
 his chief and handed him the paper. Inspector French read it and whis- tied softly. He took up the telephone by his side.
 Say you've something of find here," he remarked to the plain clothes man. Put me through to MT. Quest, please" he added, speaking into the receiver.
 The two men whispered together. The girl stole from her place and ttisrned over rapidly the pages Of di- rectory which was on the round table before her. She found the AS" quick ly. Her eye fell upon the name of Ashleigh. She repeated the address to herself and glanced around. The two men were still whispering. For the moment she was forgotten. She stole on tiptoe across the room, ran down the stone steps and hastened into the street.

Quest did not wait for another worG

Quest did not wait for another word. He jumped a rough bush of scrub on the right-hand side, galloped over the ground, which was already hot with the coming fire, and followed along down the road which Lenora had passed. When he came to the first bend, he could hear the roar of flames in the trees, A volume of smoke al- most blinded him; his horse became wholly unmanageable. He slipped from the saddle and ran on, staggering from right to left like a drunken man. About forty yards along the road, Le- nora was lying in the dust A volume of smoke rushed over her. The tree under which she had collapsed was already afire. A twig fell from it as Quest staggered up, and her skirt be- gan to shoulder. He tore off his coat, wrapped it around her, beat out the fire which was already blazing at her feet and snatched her into his arms. She opened her eyes for moment.
 Where are we?" she whispered. "The f1re!"
 That's all right" Quest shouted. Well be out of it in moment. Hold tight to my neck"
 Say, that was a close shave" he faltered, as he laid Lenora upon the ground. Another five minutes-well, we won't talk about it. Let's lift her on to your horse, Laura, and get back to the camp"
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-07-09

guess you'd better cough up the truth Where's this precious uncle of yours?' My uncle has gone out," the girl replied, drawing herself up. He left five minutes ago."
 Whats that in your hand?" he de- handed.
 Something my uncle gave me be- fore he went out," the girl replied. q haven't looked at it yet myself"
 Give it here,' he ordered.
 She spread it out upon the table.
 "You may look at it if you choose" she agreed. My uncle did not tell me not to show it to anyone"
 They read it together. The few lines seemed to be written with great care. They took, indeed, the form of a legal document, to which was af- fixed the seal of a notary and the name of witness:
 M, John Craig, being about to re- ceive the just punishment for all my sins, hereby bequeath to my niece, Mary Carlton, all moneys and prop erty belonging to me, a list of which she will find at this address. make one condition only of my bequest, and [ beg my niece to ferventIy respect it. 1t is that she never of her own con sent or knowledge speak to anyone of the name of AshIeigh, or associate with any of that name.
 JOHN CRAIG.
 The man folded up the paper. | "I'II take care of thic !, ho said HIt'e yours, right enough. We'll just need to borrow it for time. Go and ge your hat and coat on. miss"

CHAPTER XXXIV.

The professor who was comfort ably seated in Quests favorite easy chair glanced at his watch and shook his head.
 T am afraid, my friend" he said, that Craig's nerve has failed him. A voluntary surrender was perhaps too much to hope for''
 Quest smoked for a moment in si- lence.
 His servant entered bearing note.
 ''This was left a few minutes ago, sir," he announced, "by a messenger boy. There was no answer required"
 The man retired. Quest unfolded the sheet of paper. His expression suddenly changed.
 'Listen!" he exclaimed To Sanford Quest:
 Gather your people in Professor AshIeigh's library at ten o'clock to- night. l will be there and tell you my whole story. JOHN CRAIG.
 The professor sat for moment speeches..
 tsThen he meant it, after all!" he exclaimed at last.
 Seems like it, Quest admitted. "I'll just telephone to French"
 The professor rose to his feet, knocked the ash from his cigar, strug- gled into his coat and took up his hat. Then he waited until Quest had con- pleted his conversation. The latter's face had grown grave and puzzled. It was obvious that he was receiving in- formation of some importance. He put down the instrument at last with curt word of farewell. The professor moved towards the door.
 "If only this may prove to be the endl" he sighed. Quest spent the next hour or so in | restless deliberations. There were still many things which puzzled him | At about a quarter past nine Lenora and Laura arrived, dressed for their expedition.
 "I'm afraid we are in for bad thunderstorm, girls" Quest remarked
 Laura laughed. | Who cares? The automobile s there, MT Quest"
 Let's go, then" he replied.
 They descended into the street and drove to the professors house in si lence. Even Laura was feeling the strain of these last hours of anxiety On the way they picked up French and plain-clothes man and the whole party arrived at their destination just l as the storm broke. The professor

CHAPTER XxXIi.

The professor laid down his book and gazed with an amiable smile to- wards Quest and Lenora.
 T fear," he remarked, dolefully, that my little treatise on the fauna of the northern Orinoco scarcely appeals to you, MT. Quest"
 Quest, whose arm was in sling, but who was otherwise none the worse for his recent adventure, pointed out of the tent.
 Don't you believe it, professor" he begged. I've been listening to every word. But say, Lenora, just look at Laura and French!"
 They all three peered anxiously out of the opening of the tent Laura and the inspector were very slowly ap- preaching the cook wagon. Laura was carrying a large bunch of wild flowers, one of which she was in the act of fastening in Frenchs button hole
 That fellow French has got grit" Quest declared "He sticks to it all the time. He'll win out with Laura in the end, you mark my words"
 We've wired for them to meet Craig" Quest said, after a short si- lence. T only hope they don't let him slip through their fingers. 1 haven't much faith in his promise to turn up at the professors. Let's see what Laura and French have to say"
 ffCaD'+ onIy copco here any longer" was French's imme- diate decision, "so long as you two inYalids feel that you can stick the journey. Besides, we're using up these fellows hospitality"
 They busied themselves for the next hour or two, making preparations. After their evening meal the two men walked with Lenora and Laura to their tent.
 T think you girls had better go to bed" Quest suggested. 'Try and get long nights sleep"
 That's all very we'll" French re- marked, but it's only eight o'clock. What about a stroll, Miss Laura, just up to the ridge?"
 Laura hesitated for a moment and glanced towards Lenora.
 Please go,' the latter begged. q really don't feel like going to sleep just yet"
 I'll look after Lenora," Quest prom ised. You have your walk There's the professor sitting outside his tent. Wouldn't you like to take him with you?"
 Laura glanced indignantly at him as they strolled out, and Lenora laughed | softly.
 How dared you suggest such a thing!" she murmured to Quest Do | LOOK at them. The inspector wants her to take his watch and she can't l quite make up her mind about it. Why Laura's getting positively frivolous" When the inspector returned Quest handed him telegram:
 To inspector French, AIIguez, N. M.:
 Very sorry. Craig gave us slip after leaving depot. Niece disappeared from address given. No clues at present When are you returnine?
 French swore softly for moment Then he dropped into a chair.
 This he declared, lis our unlucky evening"
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-07-09

"If only could do something tor him!" she murmured.
 Hes in some kind of trouble, I think Mrs. Malony observed. He is not what you might call a commu- nicative person, but it's easy to see that he is far from being happy in himself. You'll ring when you're ready, Miss Mary?"
 The door was suddenly opened and Craig entered.
 Look across the road,' he begged. "Tell me if there is a man in blue serge suit and a bowler hat, smok- ing a cigar, looking across here.''
 Mrs. Malony and the girl both obeyed The girl was the first to speak.
 Yes" she answered. ''He IS looking straight at these windows
 Craig groaned and sank down upon 9 chair.
 Leave us, if you please, Mrs. Ma lony," he ordered. I'll ring when Pm ready"
 The landlady left the room silently. The girl came over to her uncle and threw her arm around his neck
 He patted her head, felt in his pock- cts and drew out a little paper bag, from which he shook bunch of vio- lets,
 How kind you are to mel" she ex- claimed. You think of everything!"
 He sighed.
 If had had you for little longer, Mary" he said, perhaps I should have been a better man. Go to the window, please, and tell me if that man is still there."
 She crossed the room with light footsteps. Presently she returned
 He is just crossing the street." she announced. T think that he seems to be coming here.''
 Craig took the girl for minute into his arms.
 "Good-by, dear" he said. T want you to take this paper and keep it carefully You will be cared for al- ways, but I must go."
 But where must you go?' she asked, bewildered.
 T have an appointment at Profess sor Ashleigh's," he told her. T cannot tell you anything more than that. Good-by."
 He kissed her for moment pas sionately. Then suddenly he tore him. self away. She heard him run lightly down the stairs. Some instinct led her to the back window. She saw him emerge from the house and pass down the yard. Then she went to the front. The man in the blue serge was talking to the landlady below. She sank into Q chair, puzzled and unhappy. Then she heard heavy footsteps. The door was opened. The man in the blue serge suit entered, followed by the protest ing landlady.
 There's no sense in coming here to worry the young lady," Mrs. Malony declared, irritably. "As for MT. Craig, 1 told you that he'd gone out.'
 Gone out, eh?" the man repeated, speaking in a thick, disagreeable tone 'teWhy 1 watched him in here not tent minutes ago. Now then, young lady,

 He paused significantly. Then bo swung round on his heel Crafg now pitiful object, his hands nervons. ly twitching,, his face ghastIy, was covering in the background.
 Your last little effort, Craig?" he demanded, sternly.
 Craig made no reply. The nrofoS- sor, who had disappeared for q mn. ment, came back to them.
 There is smaller room across +bo hall," he said, which will do for our purpose"
 Craig suddenly turned and faced them
 T have changed my mind" he said T have nothing to tell you. Do what you will with me. Take me to the Tombs, deal with me any way you choose, but have nothing to say"
 Quest pointed a threatening finger at him.
 "Your last voluntary word, perhaps" he said, but science is still your mas. ter, Craig. Science has brought many criminals to their doom It shall take it's turn with you. Bring him along, French, to my study. There is a way of dealing with him."
 Quest felt his forehead and found if damp. There were dark rims under his eyes. Before him was Craig, with little band around his forehead and the mirror where they could all see il, The professor stood a little in the background. Laura and French were side by side, gazing with distended eyes at the blank mirror, and Lenora was doing her best to soothe the ter. rified girl. Twice Quests teeth came together and once he almost reeled.
 Its the fight of his life," he nut. tered at last, "but I've got him
 Almost as he spoke they could see Craig's resistance begin to weaken. The tenseness of his form relaxed Quests will was triumphing. Slow. ly in the mirror they saw little pic. ture creeping from the outline into definite form, picture of the profes sor's library. Craig himself was there with mortar and trowel, and a black box in his hand.
 Its coming!" Lenora moaned.
 Quest stood perfectly tense. The picture suddenly flashed into brilliant

The woman who had just laid the cloth for a homely evening meal smiled across at the girl who stood at the window.
 It's all ready now directly your uncle comes home" she announced.
 Mrs. Malony came to the girls side.
 Your poor uncle looks as though a little peace would do him good." she remarked The girl sighed.
