through the gauze, which, by reason
Of it's texture, also admitted a current
of air.
This matter settled, NJ. Max pro
ceeded carefully to examine the entire
room foot by foot. Opening the door
in one corner, he entered the bath

poses. The latter fact he might have
deduced from the stagnation of the
atmosphere.
Half an hour rfmore he spent in this
fashion without having discovered any
thing beyond the secret of the obser-
walton trap. Again he took out his
pocketknife. which was large one
with handsome mother of pearl han
die Although Mr.. Ho Pin had exam
ined this carefully, he had solved only
half of it's secrets. M. Max extracted
little pair of tweezers from the slot
in which they were lodged, as Ho Pin
had not neglected to do. But Ho Pin,
having looked at the tweezers, had re-
turned them to their place. M Max
did not do so. He opened the entire
knife as though it had been box and
revealed within it tiny set of applf-
ances designed principally for the
dissertation Of locks.
Selecting one Of these, he took up his
watch from the table upon which it
lay and approached the door. It pos
sessed a lever handle of the CONT
mental pattern, and NJ. Max silently
prayed that this might not be snare
and .delusion, but that the lock be-
low might be Of the same manufac-
ture.. 2 r
In order to settle the point he held
the face of his watch close to the key
hole, wound it's knob in the wrong d.
rection, and, 10, it became. an electric
lamp! ~
One glance he cast into the tiny cav
ity, then dropped back upon the bunk,
twisting his mobile mouth in that half
smile at once humorous and despair
full.
"Nom DUN pitt bonhommev' he NUT
tered. 'To open that lock without
noise is impossibler'
M. Max threw himself back upon the
pillow and for an hour afterward lay
deep in silent reflection.
He had cigarettes in his case and
should have liked to smoke, but feared
to take the risk of scenting the air
with perfume so unorthodox.
He had gained something by his ex-
plot, but not all that he had hoped
for. Clearly his part now was to
await what the morning should bring.

Bath hot or cold. sir?'
Cold replied NJ. Max, struggling
upright with apparent difficulty; yes,
cold.'
Every good sir. Have you brought
your own razor, sir?''
Yes, yes,' muttered Max-''in the
bag, in that bag"
II Will fill the bath. sir"
The bath being duly filled, M. Max,
throwing about his shoulders a mag
nificent silk kimono which he found
upon the armchair, steered ZigZag
course to the bathroom. His tooth
brush had been put in place by the at
tentive valet. There was an abun-
dance Of clean towels, soaps, bath
salts, with other necessaries and lux
uries Of the toilet. NJ. Max, following
his bath, saw fit to evince a return
to mental clarity, and while he was
being shaved he sought to enter into
conversation with the valet. But the
latter was singularly reticent. and
again M. Max changed his tactics. He
perceived here a golden opportunity
which he must not allow to slip
through his fingers.
would you like to earn hundred
pounds?" he demanded abruptly, gaz-
ing into the beady eyes of the man
bending over him.
SOames, for it was he, though cum
ningly disguised by Chinese art1fice,
almost dropped the razor. His state
of alarm was truly pitiable. He
glanced to the right; he glanced to
the left; he glanced over his shoulder,
up at the ceiling and down at the
floor
"Excuse me, SIR he said nervously.
II don't think 1 quite understand you,

"You shall Irvine your fingers in my
hair.'
the trap contrived that he could find
no trace of its existence. Carefully
balancing himself upon the rails on
either side of the bunk, he stood up
and peered closely about that part Of
the wall from which the sound had
seemed to come. He even ran his I'm
gers lightly over the paper up as high
as he could reach, but not the slight
est crevice was perceptible. He began
to doubt the evidence Of his own
senses.
Unless his accursed Imagination had
been playing him tricks trap of some
kind had been opened above his head
and some one had looked in at him,
yet-and his fingers were trained to
such work-he was prepared to swear
that the surface of the Chinese paper
covering the wall was perfectly con-
tinuous. He drummed upon it lightly
with his finger tips here and there over
the surface above the bed, and in this
fashion he became enlightened.
A portion roughly foot in height
and two feet long yielded slightly
different note to his drumming, where
by he knew that that part of the pa
per was not attached to the wall, He
perceived the truth The trap when
closed fitted flush with the back of
the wall paper. and this paper (al-
though when pasted upon the walls
it showed no evidence of the fact must
be transparent.
From some dark place beyond 1t was
possible to peer in through the rec
tangular patch Of paper as through a
window at the occupant Of the bunk
below, upon whom the shaded lamp
directly poured its rays.
He examined more closely a lower
part of the wall which did not fall
within the shadow of the purple lamp
shade, for he was thinking of the
draft which had followed the opening
of the trap. By this examination he
learned two thingsTthe explanation
of the draft and that of peculiar
property possessed by the mural dec
OratiOns. These las Soames had OBJ
served before HIM assumed a new
form if one stared at them closely
Other figures, figures human and ami

signs which were perceptible at a
glance. The longer and the closer one

as he learned by the application OF

Said, leaving the tea service upon the
little table, glided from the room.
Something else the Egyptian had left
upon the tray in addition to the dainty

containing dozen or more keys. Most
of these keys lay fanwise and punched
together, but one lay isolated and

Island state prison, has told the po-
lice that he helped bury the body OF
Dorothy Arnold. missing New York
heiress after she was murdered, Off

ton of Glenoris' story was begun at

that a mysterious man, possessing
great wealth, hired him and another
man to 60 to New Rochelle. He was
to have received $3.50 for standing
guard while his pal disposed Of the
