 It was to be years before the horror of that frightful shriek which sounded through the cold, silent house like a knell of fate, was to be finally purged from Jane's life. Night after night she was to hear it in her dreams and in ecstacy of terror cIusch madly at the bed clothes as she now clutches a& Mar shall's arm as they stood togetter in the front hall. staring with bated breath into each others eyes.
 'Down,-down stairs" Marshall finally whispered hoarsely. Tt came from downstairs"
 Jane nodded, though later. when she had time to look back at that moment she could never be sure why she knew the scream had come from below them
 "Win you wait here until come back? Marshall asked, still speaking in a whisper And at the first sign of danger, I want you to go out and back into that cab Will you do that?"
 The girl shook her head with deci- sion. You have been kind to me, Mir Marshall" she exclaimed in a hurried whisper. If you are gong fnto danger l might be able to help you. Let me go. If any harm comes 70 me, what does it matter? I have no friends to live for"
 The old man laughed bitterly. You have youth" he said. but without again looking at the girl. he turned and strode rapidly toward a flight of stairs that descended from the back of the hall
 Pausing a moment they gazed down ; l,, sl,-fr eyes had lost the effect of the light of the street, they made out a dimly defined door at the foot oi the steps. The place was wrapped in q complete silence, heavy and as thick as a blanket. There was nothing to tell them what they would find at the bottom, no sign which would guide them to the dan ger that lurked on the other side of that dimly lit door with it's long panes of ground glass, but Marshall, with Jasle at his heels finally crept slowly down, until at last the girl heard his finger touch the handle of the door.
 An instant later they were in cur iously furnished apartment It was evidently the furnace room sof the house. but it had been remodeled, and now it presented the appearance of a Dutch restaurant, with half dozen tables and chairs arranged about the walls. An electric lamp on one of the tables was lit and by it's faint glimmer they discovered the room to be de- serted.
 "A meeting place" Marshall unused, as though he was speaking to himself This is where they did busiscss. We won't find anything here; let's go in the back"
 They had moved perhaps half dozen steps toward a dorway which evidently gave to a room in the rear. when their startled gaze encountered the body of a man that lay half propped against the wall of the room. It needei<but a fleetinS look to make sure that he was dead, and with d cry of rage and dis appointment, Marshall sprans forward and knelt by his side.
 The body had been a man of some twenty five years of age. smooth shay en with little thin scar running across ais cheek from his nose 10 ont

 Jane shook her head, hardly under standing what Marshall had said. "It means" the man went on That the vital evidence against Crawford has disappeared as effectually as though t never existed"
 Turning his attention to the body he disengaged the paper from Cooper s fingers and held it. to the !gated lamp on the table.

 What does it say?" Jane asked find her voice a last.
 Goodbye, Marshall the main read aloud. You would have caught me if you had used any other man but Cooper, but wheg you saved him from the pGllce you showed me your hand"
 Almost in fascination James gaze had strayed back to the murdered mans face, and with a little cry she leaned forward, staring intently at the white features.
 What is it?" Marshall excialm ed, watching her.
 i've seen him before," Jane answer ed in d stuffed whisper He was the man who called City Hall 40i from the restaurant, the same man the detective took away"
 When was ths?" MarshaIi asked quickly What restaurant"'
 Briefly Jane related the occurrence, how she had entered the booth and ending up with. T couldn't tell you I didn't have time"
 Marshall remained silent for long time after the girl finished speaking, until at last he shook his head.
 "Crowford was right" he said sadly. "It is goodbye"
