form, received her permission to de-
part and she was left alone. Shortly
after the waiter entered with his tray,
Joost Singh, following a few PAGES
behind. The waiter spoke.
"This foreign party says he has a
note for this apartment, Ma'am," and
at her nod the Hindu laid his mes
sage before her with a salaam.
"For the Sahib Davis" he said re-
spectfully, and turning left the room.
Hastily the girl tore the note open. 1t
read:
sIf you seek to solve the mystery
Of the night, knock twice and then
once at the rear door Of number q
Horton street. Your conductor will
appear and bring you before the gods :!
May Vishnu and silva guard you"
Wondering what 1t could mean
whether John was again in danger
and who Inc writer could be, she
quickly ate a few mouthfuls and left
the apartment, hurrying lest she be
too late.
Stadium, dressed in American
clothes and on watch outside the
shop of Ram Chunder, saw Davis
drive up in a taxi and FASTENED in
side, locking the door behind him.
Briefly he told his master of the COM
ing of the other man, and the fakir,
giving Stadium rapid directions,
stepped to the inner room where the
Hawk and Spider were.
"Siva has summoned him. He is
here" was his announcement.
Throwing their cards out of sight
the pair arose. Ram Chunder, lead
ing them to a side of the room, opened
a sliding door by pressing on a spring,
disclosing a grating. Obeying his
| wave Of command they entered, draw
ing the curtains together but leaving
a crack through which they could
both see and hear. Passing to the
other side of the room Ram Chunder
| opened another concealed door, and
| at the clap Of his hands four Hindus
| in native costume appeared. Address
ing them in q low tone he began fill
ing the incense bowls so that their
| smoke slowly commenced to arise.
| While this was being done, two of
| the newcomers placed a large chair
of teakwood at the upper end of the
table.
"We will now admit the Sahib,'
| announced the fakir.
Having knocked at the outer door
a number of times and received no
| response, John on the point of turn
ing away discouraged, was confronted
| by Shallum, who with a low obeisance
motioned for him to enter.
Rainface, returning to the hotel,
| caught a distant view of Ethel as she
| hurried on her way. Instantly he fol
lowed her. Seeing her board a troll
ley car. the Indian took the one next
| behind it, standing on the front plat
| form where he could look ahead.
Arriving at Number 81 Horton
| street, the girl promptly knocked at
| the door. Joost Singh appeared, and
though he was surprised to see a
woman instead of the man he expect
/ ed standing before him, he salaamed
and indicated that she was to go
| with him.
"Where is Mr.. Davis?" she demand
| ed as she hesitated. The Hindu
| spread his hands in a gesture to in
dictate his ignorance, and finally de-
Gliding that her only chance Of finding
her lover was to trust herself to the
others guidance, she started down the
| side street on foot. Rainface, who
had not lost sight of her, at nee fol-
lowed upon their trail.
