ting anxious about his scheme when
his servant announced that Inezs
maid was outside.
Bring her in Immediately" WI
Numbered
The maid came in, frightened, blurt-
ing out what had happened to her
and what she had seen at the
apartment of her mistress. WI
listened, his face REFRESHING the rag
ing fury he felt.
"Quick-my street clothes" he or
dered of his servant, then, as he
threw them on, added to the gypsy.
"Wait here until 1 return"
It was only few minutes after he
had been warned by the gypsy that
WI himself glided into the hall lead
ing to the main room of the labora-
tory. He listened a moment, then,
hearing nothing, was about to open
the door with his skeleton key. AS
he started to do so, his eyes fell on
the fire escape outside.
He reconsidered. Perhaps it would
be best to reconnoiter. Snakelike he
wormed his way up the fire escape
which led to the back room. There,
as we grouped ourself about the
sphygmograph while Kennedy ex-
planned his plans, Wu's sinister face
gazed in at us for a moment, then
withdrew. Silently he made his way
down again to the ground.
In the back room Kennedy took his
place near the doorway, while Elaine
and I bent over the dial.
"Now, Walter" he began in an as
sumed rhetorical tone, you remem-
Der We traced that fellow, WI Fang. to
Pell street. Let me see. What was
that NUMBER One?"
He paused. I saw the needle jump
slightly at the mention Of Pell street.

something concealed in it and did not
find it. Perplexed, he looked first
from Elaine then to Aunt Josephine.
Are you looking for the gypsy's
handkerchief" Elaine asked finally,
seeing his establishment. Then she
stopped and picked up another hand
kerchief from the floor. Here it is.
1t didn't look very clean, so when she
wasn't looking I dropped it and used
my own"
Kennedy was speechless with re-
lief. He took the other handkerchief
and rapidly ran his hand over it. AT
last he came to little hard lump In
the hem He ripped it open. There
was the little tube of radium!
you're lucky" he exclaimed. III
you had had that tube over your eyes
it would have done its work in few
minutes. You might not feel it for
some time, but you would have been
blinded at least in a few days, If not
hours"
Both Elaine and Aunt Josephine
we're overcome as they thought OF
the peril from which Elaine had been
SO narrowly rescued. Even Kennedy
could not restrain a shud6er. For
the moment he forgot even about
Inez. Then, suddenly, he recollected.
sOh, by the way" he exclaimed,
aTve had Walter take woman over
to the laboratory. He must be there
by this time. I wish that you would
get your things on and go over with
me. think that you can help me get
something out of her. She's as cool,
calm and calculating as sphinx But
I have a scheme that may lead US at
last up to this devilish Chinaman."
Elaine motioned to Marie and. when
the maid returned, hurried into her
coat and hat It was only few min

Left alone with Inez, began to
follow out Kennedys instructions.
Come" / menaced with the gun.
Get your hat on. l want you to go
with me- One word on the way and
I'll have you arrested at once. Other
wise, you may get a chance"
did not know it at the time, but
just as we were about to start and
were moving toward the door, the
gypsy, breathless and tagged, reached
the hallway Of the apartment. She
was about to go in when she heard
Inez and myself going out. She
dropped back into the convenient shell
ter which. Kennedy had used before,
and when we came out we did not
see anyone in the hall. AS we dis
appeared, she emerged and cautiously
followed us.
In spite of my fears Inez went with
out scene to the laboratory. We
entered, I, at least, not knowing that
a pair of black eyes watched every
movement. The fake gypsy saw us
go in, then hastily came out of door
way into which she had slipped and
hurried downtown.
1t was not long after arrived, how
ever, that Kennedy and Elaine Joined
me at the laboratory Kennedy had
evidently carefully prepared just what
he intended to do. Quickly he forced
Inez into the chair which he had al
ready shown Elaine, and fastened the
straps about her arms.
Walter, will you and Elaine go into
the next room?" he asked as he fin
ished securing the woman.
A moment later he followed carry
ing the dial of the sphygmograph. He
fastened it to the concealed wires that
connected with the arms of the chair,
describing to us in whisper the ac-
ton of the strange little instrument
which by blood pressure read not only
the disease of the heart, but even the
secret emotions.
He had purposely left the door be-
tween the front and back rooms ajar,
but he did not intend that Inez should
hear this explanation.
1--WE know that WI Fang's head
quarters are on Pell street." he con-
cluded to us in his muffled tone. "The
sphygmograph will tell us the number.
if we ask her the right questions. She
may keep silent, but she cannot con-
ment."
Already, although we did not know
it, the gypsy had gone straight to WI
Fang's apartment. WI had been get

{ The fake gypsy was looking eagerly
about the room, apparently for a
means of escape. Just then Jennings
hurried in.
Jennings" cried Aunt Josephine,
"seize that woman!"
As Jennings approached her, the
gypsy suddenly developed a remark
able strength. She gave him a shove
that sent him Keeling. His foot caught
on the edge of the fountain and he
staggered minute, unable to recover
his balance, then, with great splash,
fell in. The gypsy turned and fled
through the palms, Elaine and Aunt
Josephine following her.
She ran as far as she could, coming
up to the glass wall that formed
the inner end Of the conservatory.
Further retreat was impossible. She
seized a little rustic chair and
dashed it through the glass. Cautious
ly, she managed to make her way
through the opening she had broken.
Jennings had, by this time, picked
himself out of the fountain and, drip
ping, joined Elaine and Aunt jose
phine in the chase. Out in the garden
at last, the gypsy dropped down be-
hind thick bush.
At that moment a cab pulled up
furiously before the house, and Ken
nedy leaped out and rushed in. The
gypsy had gained just time enough.
If she had gone on Kennedy might
have seen her.
The others were, apparently, look
ing for her in every direction except
the right one. She saw her chance.
Stealthily she managed to slip out OF
the garden by the back way.
AS Kennedy dashed down the hall
and into the library. he met Elaine's
maid, Marie, as pale as ghost.
For heavens sake, Marie" he
painted, where are they all?"
I'm the conservatory, sir" she point
ed. Didn't you hear the glass break?"
GLASS;" he repeated, running ahead
of her now.
Kennedy came upon Elaine, Aunt
Josephine and Jennings still vainly
searching about, just as they lost
track Of the gypsy.
T Where did she go-that way?"
asked Jennings.
Hang the gypsy" interrupted
Craig. "Let her go-you missed her
anyway. But, Elaine-teu me-what
happened?"
Aunt Josephine reached down and
picked up the handkerchief she had
torn from Elaine's eyes. "She bound
it over her eyes," she explained to
Craig.
Kennedy examined the handkerchief
closely. Evidently he was looking for

view OF these conditions. union Off
ciais are not inclined 10 ascribe any
very high motives 10 the Western
Union and the Pennsylvania railroad
officials in their effort at "uplift"
work among the convicts. A convict
who learns telegraphy and after his
prison term is employed by one Of
these corporations, is apt, they say. to
be a rather servile employe, since his
employer would have it in his power
at any time 20 ruin his career by ex-
posing his prison record.
Taken in connection with the admis-
sion before the industrial relations
commission made by the president Of
the Western Union that his company
opposes unionism among their ere
ployes. the efforts Of this company to
utilize prisoners as telegraphers may
well be considered very significant.

URGING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The death OF so prominent a news
paper man as William Rockhul Mel
son, publisher of the Kansas City Star,
always raises the question among the
newspaper workers and readers, as to
how such a great journalistic success
had been achieved.
one reason why the Star has had
so deep hold in its home constituent
cy. has been the fact that it was such
a persistent worker for local improve
ments. Street paving. parks, art gal
lery, these were only a few Of the
things for which the Star labOred in
and out Of season.
Public Improvements come slowly.
The majority Of the people in the av-
erage community would naturally be
contented with rather slovenly sur
roundings. They enjoy spruceness.
neatness. and handsome architecture,
if provided ready made But as to inn
proving their own properties or pay
ing taxes for public improvements,
they are 10th to help.
But every place has its men with a
vision. They see the defects in
towns appearance and realize what
more adequate surroundings would
mean. In the fore front Of these men
with large hopes is almost always the
home newspaper. 1t usually is not a
heavy taxpayer. But it pays its fair
share, either directly, or indirectly in
rentals which enable real estate own
ers TO pay the taxes.
Agitation FOR public improvements
would not get far without the news
papers While the majority of the
people of most towns are Indifferent
10 civic beauty, or 10th TO give up
few dollars extra tax. the newspaper
has faith in the future and a d!scon-
tent with what is sordid or primitive.
only rarely is the field big enough
to win any such reward as came TO the
distinguished publisher of the Kansas
City Star. But the newspapers should
be able and usually are able to look
about TO this and that permanent pos
session. and feel that they had large
share in winning it,
