Lighting the apartments, from the

Crawford threw back the lid and
took out some faded flowers, a neck
lace of scarabs and two packets of
letters. each tied neatly with blue rib
bon. He crushed the smaller packet
to his lips.
Having fancied himself upon firm
ground, Haggerty felt like one whom
hurricane had whirled into mid
ocean. A faded bouquet and a bundle
Of letters! He saw seven thousand
dollars take wings after the manner of
butterflies he was wont to pursue
when boy. Then he saw Crawford
sit down and lay his head upon his
arms.
A bell rang. The arms in Haggerty's
grasp jumped instinctively. Crawford
rose and stood waiting. The bell rang
again, violently.
Who the devil can that be?" said
Crawford aloud. His valet had two
sets of keys and never rang a bell He
reached for the speaking-tube which
hung at the side of the desk. Hello!
What's wanted? Forbes? Why,
come up" He dropped the tube and
pressed a button, an electrical CON
trivance that unlocked both the hall
doors.
A minute passed. Haggerty gnawed
his stubby mustache. Through the
doorway came a young man and a
beautiful girl.

Haggerty's hand slipped from the
valet's arm which had become sud
denly limp. Why?

CHAPTER X.
The Other House.

So many strange things had hap
pened that night to Forbes that he
was no longer able to sense the tingle
known as excitement. He was con-
scious of blunted wonder, like that
Of a man on a stricken ship. He fol-
lowed Crawford into the hall and up
the first flight.
"She's probably asleep" said Craw-
ford; but no matter. l ought not to
bother at ALL" He pressed the bell
button. DUTY. 1t reads well, Mort,
but is there anything else than bitter
ness in 1t? Duty, moral obligation

perform was hunting for what writer's
call lines.''
Moral obligations. A woman prob
ably asleep. Forbes waited, bending
his cane back and forth. like a fencer
testing his steel. Duty was bitter
What about his?

The door swung in. Forbes beheld
. young woman, pretty once upon a
time. Crawford pushed him in.
"A friend of mine, Netty; Mr.
Forbes"
She repeated the name vaguely. II
was quite evident that she was half
asleep.

trips in the morning. | didn't have

knowledged only when he spoke or
asked a question. An out-and-outer
of gentleman's gentleman.
The valet put on the log and re-
sumed his chair, staring into the
crumbling embers of the old logs or
seriously studying the sap-flames of
the fresh as they darted toward the
spark-screen.
From out of his corner Haggerty
would suddenly shoot a question or an
observation, just to remind the other
of his presence. Invariably the valet
would come out of his dreams startled.
Has your master a private secre-
tary?"
No. sir. Sometimes l help him in
his work
"Ah. So you are interested in these
dead ones. too?"
The valets smile fiickered. Il have
been ten years with Mr.. Crawford.
Naturally / take an interest in all he
does.'
"Uh-huh. Interested in curios,
too?"
You spoke of q collection. What
kind?"
When your master comes. But Ill
tell you this much: I've a sneaking
hope he amt got what I want"
For the first time the valet became
interested in the detective. Il don't
quite understand you"
Time enough for that when your
master comes"
Conversation Jagged again. From
the wall the buttons Of the six pairs
of shoes twinkled like the beady eyes
of rats. No matter where his glance
roved, Haggerty found 1t always re-
turning to the shoes. They made him
laugh inwardly. A millionaire. hav-
ing his shoes tapped and heeled. Just
like one of those thrifty old Wall
street sharks of another day. A swell
who thought more of comfort than OF
style. 1t was all novel to Haggerty.

What! millionaire an a philan

There he comes now. have a gun in
picious movement on your part t warn
your master, an I'm liable t break
your arm. Go on!"
Behind the curtains he grasped the
valet's arm and pursed his
lips into silent whistle. The arm
was not big but 1t was iron hard.
This is damnable outrage!"
breathed the valet.
BE still" Haggerty jabbed the
valet in the small of the back. It hurt,
for the man gasped.
They heard Crawford close the
doors, and come up In bounds. eagerly.
He came into the study quickly and
sought his desk upon which he laid a
leather box. He contemplated II
thoughtfully. Haggerty almost sighed.
He had never hated duty before A
womans Jewel box. More loot. He
couldn't get head nor tail OF II. Oddly,
he sensed a tension In the arm OF the
valet. Evidently he too was surprised
at what he saw. Haggerty was never
going to forget this night.
