added.
While Godowsh was examining me,

scope and was looking through it at
the strange black specks on the pa
per. There, under the lens, he could
see the most remarkable, almost MI

Weak though he was, he could not
help an exclamation Of exultation at
his discovery, just as Godowsh had
finished with me.

At about the same time, up at Rock

for horseback ride through the hills.
They were chatting gayly, but Ken

element of the journey and the exer-
ton were so great that he could hard
ly humble.
"Here-look-on this paper" he
cried. From the telephone"
He had risen and was handing the
paper to the scientist when his weak
ness overcame him. He fell fiat on his
face on the floor and dropped the pa
per, splitting the contents.
Godowski, now thoroughly alarmed,
bent over Craig. But the delirium
had overcome Kennedy, too.
Unable to make any sense out of
Craig's broken wanderings, Godowski
lost no time In taking samples of our
blood.
Then he hurried away to his labora-
tory in his car. AS he did so, however,
Long Sin leaped into taxicab which
was waiting, and followed.
In Godowskfs laboratory, where he
was studying tropical diseases, the
bacteriologist set to work at once to
confirm his own growing suspicious.
From a monkey which he had there
for experimental purposes, he drew off
some blood samples. Then, with the
aid of his assistant. he took the blood
samples he had obtained from
US. The monkeys blood, under the
microscope, seemed full of rather
elongated, wriggling germs, of pc
culiar species. In and out they made
their way among the blood corpuscles,
each like a dart aimed at life itself.
Then he took the samples of our
blood. In them were the same germs
carried by that gruesome ticki
'The spirillum!" he muttered. "They
are infected with African recurrent
fever. The only remedy is atoxyl, ad-
ministered intravenously, after the
manner of Professor Ehrlich's famous
$685."
Godowski had rung the call box has
tily for a messenger, when Long Sin,
who had managed stealthily to creep
up to the doctors laboratory window,
scowled through at the action-then
moved away.
While his assistant gathered the ap-
paratus, the doctor wrote
Miss Anne Septix,
301 w. --th St:

Ave. Surgical case.
GoDoWSkI, M. o.
The boy arrived finally and the doc
tor gave him a generous tip, to hurry
with the note.
He had turned the corner, however,
when Long Sin appeared Subtly he
played on the boys cupidity to get
him to deliver note Of his own
even offered to deliver the boys note
for him. The fash of a five dollar bill
made the rest easy.
AS the boy disappeared on a fake
errand, Long Sin, with the real note,
hurried downtown, smiling wickedly.
They have discovered the fever,
master" he reported in the den.
WI was beside himself with rage.
Before he could speak, however, Long
Sin spread out Godowsk's message.
But l have this" he added.
1t took merely glance to suggest
to WI new plan of action. He rose
and moved quickly into the back room.

moved slowly again into the back
room.
Long Sin had remained there. With
Weepy Mary he was guarding Elaine,
when WI Fang re-entered. Elaine
was thoroughly aroused by this time.
Suffering is a state of mind" WI
said in a low tone, "and have de-
cided that 1t would be poor revenge
for me to harm you. You are free"
Nothing could have come as great
err surprise to Elaine.
do you-do you really mean it?'
she asked. scarcely able to believe
what her ears heard.
WI merely nodded, and with wave
of his hand to Long Sin indicated that
Elaine was to be released.
She nerved herself to take several
steps toward the door. She had
scarcely crossed half the room.
"Waitl" ordered WI sharply.
Was he merely torturing her. as a
cat might torture a mouse? She
stopped obediently, afraid to look at
him.

l don't think that in all our friend
ship have ever seen Kennedy so ut
terly depressed as he was when we
returned after the discovery of the
vast fortune which Bennett had clev-
erly secreted
There seemed to be absolutely moth
ing to do until some new clue turned
up. I placed my hand on his shoulder,
but the words that would encourage
him died on my lips. Several times
started to speak, but each time
checked myself. There did not seem
to be anything that would be appro-
pirate for such an occasion.
A sharp ring at the telephone made
both of US fairly jump, so nervous
had we become. Kennedy reached
over instantly for the instrument in
the vague hope that at last there was
some news.
AS l watched his face 1t changed
first from despair to wonder, and final
ly it seemed to light up with the most
remarkable look Of relief and happi-
ness that one could imagine.

jamming the receiver down on the
hook, and in the same motion reach
ing for his hat and coat. Walter"
he cried, cit is Elaine! They have let
her go!"

time to follow him, and we dashed out
of the laboratory.

up their horses.
why, Craig" cried Elaine. startled,
whats the matter?"
The sound of her voice seemed to
arouse him. He braced up. ooh. moth
ing. guess" he said with forced
smile. I'm all right"
1t was no use, however They had
to cut short the ride, and Kennedy re-
turned to the house glad to drop down
in an easy chair on the porch, while
Elaine lowered about him solicitously.
They summoned the country doctor,
but it took him some time to get out
to the house. Suddenly a messenger
boy rode up on his bicycle and mount
ed the porch steps. Telegram for
Mr.. Kennedy" he announced, looking
about and picking out Craig naturally
as the person he wanted.
Kennedy nodded and took the vel
low envelope while Elaine signed for
it. Listlessly he tore it open. 1t
read:

The message seemed to rouse Ken
nedy in spite Of his fever. His face
showed keen alarm, which he endeav-
orded to conceal from Elaine. But her
quick eye had caught the look
Il must see Walter" he exclaimed,
rising rather weakly and going into
the house.
How he ever did 1t is still, think, a
mystery to him, but he managed to
pack up and, in spite of the alternating
fever and chills, make the journey
back to the city.
When at last Craig arrived at our
apartment, it must have seemed to
him that he found me almost at
deaths door.
Ill himself, Kennedy threw himself
down for a moment, exhausted. when

asked Of Johnson.

Craig was decidedly worried.

living room as best he could.

Godowski was a world-famous scien-

bedroom, scratching his ear. He no

Johnson nodded. That's strange"

He turned back into the living room
and for a moment looked about. Fl.
