He said he would put me in

sister Lucy"
"And that man was-?"
prince Mpak, of Auratia, You
see, Lucy went to Salonika as
Red Cross nurse. So we thought
at any rate, but we heard nothing
more from her from the day she
left America. I wrote to the Red
Cross headquarters, but they had
never heard Of Lucy. BY curious
coincidence / met by chance at the

lingham, who said he had seen Lucy
when he was an attache, after the
armistice, at the court of Auratia.
I couldn't get him to say exactly
what she was doing there, but ]
knew It was Lucy, because he de-
scribed her hair, which is the
same color as mine.
Captain Gillingham told me
that Prince Mpak was coming that
night to the hotel-and he also told
me why he had come to New York.
That was the afternoon that he
brought the chain"
1.-THE chain7"
THAT chain you saw me wearing.
II is a most extraordinary thing
/ thought Il must be Lucy's, as she
had one made of our grandmother's
hair, but l know she took II to
Salonika with her. Besides, this
was slightly different-it was set
with emeralds, and Lucy's wasn't.
Well, he told me TO wear this chain
and to smile at the Prir ce "a he
came In and that the Prime wauld
then come up and speak to me and
tell me all about Lucy. But he
didn't-and after that
She paused in obvious distress.
Sorran determined to save her from
the ordeal OF telling that which he
had already deduced.
Don't tell me any more" he
said. "Just trust me. VIII your"
"Yes," she said.
Then come with me-" said
Sorran.
At six o'clock OF the same eve
ming Inspector Dolan leaned back
in his chair with contented sigh.
He had dlgested the last OF the vol
luminous reports that had poured in
on him In a steady stream since the
beginning OF the affair. He was
now in possession of every salient
fact In the case.
An hour later Lester himself en-
tered the room. In his hand he was
holding an envelope somewhat
gingerly.

telephoned it was a walking case"
The man produced a stretcher
from the interior of the van.
In a dilemma, he turned to the
nearest of the growing knot OF on
lockers, a man of muscular appear
ance.
"P'raps you wouldn't mind lend
ing me a hand, sir?"
Renshaw nodded to the man ad-
dressed, and the latter consented.
Weam led the two men into the
house.
Three minutes later the men re-
appeared. On the stretcher lay a
figure covered with rug and heav-
lily swathed about the head. Be
tween the bandages, as Renshaw
looked, a stray tendril of hair
cleaned in the sunshine-gleamed
to wine.
AS the car came to a standstill
in tho courtyard of the hospital,
Renshaw jumped down and stood
by the door Of the van until the
attendants came to open 1t.
What in thunder
Renshaw thrust his shoulders
into the van. Beside the attendants
the van had but a single occupant
his own man he had ordered to
ride inside. The man was lying
bound on the stretcher. His mouth
was gagged with tress of hair,
luxuriant and wine red.
At five o'clock David Sorran was
knocking at the door of his sisters
house In Fifty-seventh street.
Doctor Violet Sorran had given
orders that her brother was to be
shown into her consulting room
when he arrived. She was waiting
there to receive him.

his first anxious words. Miss Sor-
ran nodded.
Without more ado Sorran hurried
upstairs.
"oh, am so glad you have

''It was getting so late"
81 am sorry" said Sorran, but

one has taken her place. Add that
this very afternoon drew a cor
don of men round the house in
which I knew that girl TO be and
that she sailed through that Gordon
and got clean away"
But" exclaimed Lester, II
thought that she was dead-that
she had been picked up at the
Battery, drowned"
Il don't care whether Rosemary
Wilding has been drowned or not"
retorted Inspector Dolan, heatedly.
Whether her name Is Rosemary
or Lucy or neither, i know that the
girl want for the murder of
Prince Mpak OF Auratia-the girl
with that strange wine-colored hair

protected from us by none other
than David Sorran himself"

Inspector Dolan collected him

and placed chair for Rosemary.

is certainly unexpected--as unex.

said, grimly. There is a good deal

In ths Ambulance.
Continued from Last Sunday

~ ENSHAW, having posted the
units of his Gordon at all
~ the salient points, took up
a concealed post of observation
from which he had clear view Of
the front of the shop. Escape, he
knew well, was now impossible in
any direction. True, he had no
man waiting in a boat on the river,
which. ran by the southern side Of
the house. But egress to the river
being possible only through a win
dow, the man Sc he nearest point
had orders to give the alarm
should an attempt be made that
way.
For upwards Of half an hour he
waited. Then:
''Hullc!" he exclaimed. whats

Suddenly an upper window In the
house above the shop was thrown
UP. There sounded hoarse scream
that might have come from a man
or a woman, and a column of
smoke issued from the open win.

by man of youngish appearance.
Good enough" muttered Rem
shaw to himself and, crossing the
road, entered the shop and shouted.
The aged proprietor issued from

I'VE have had an accident with a

"I heard someone scream"
THAT was my niece" said the old
man gravely. II regret TO say that
she is badly injured In the face.
My nephew has telephoned for an
ambulance. thank YOU" he
added, for your inquiries"
Renshaw could do nothing but
withdraw.
When the motor ambulance
turned the corner of the street,
Renshaw gave a signal and three
members of the Gordon closed
around the van as II stopped.

The Washington times., 1920-09-26

This Is the answer to your ques-
tion," he said as he handed the
inspector the envelope which the
latter promptly opened Inside was
a long hair. Dolan laid the hair
against his coat-sleeve. Against the
dark background II cleaned to a
dull wine red.
Where did you find this?" de,
manded the inspector
'Tn the lock itself, SIR" was the
answer. 81 don't mind confessing
that until I received your memoran-
dunn I had completely overlooked
the impossibility of the Prince
rising up to lock the door after he
had been strangled. Whereas, OF
course, 1t Is quite obvious that the
thieves themselves must have re-
locked the door behind them"
Exactly" said Inspector Dolan.
"and we find that they did II with
this. And you can see at glance
where that nair came from. How
did they actually use it?"
"As nearly as I could see, sir,
they had tied one end of the hair
round the lever that controls the
bolts. The hair was then threaded
above the first bolt and through
the Yale lock on the dummy wooden
door. tested the lever and found
1t requires pressure of two pounds
to move IT,"
"A hair of such thickness as
this" said the Inspector, would
stand a weight Of about fifteen
pounds with steady pull. See how
elastic Il is"
Lester was about to withdraw,
but Inspector JDolan stayed him.

said. II think the groundwork is

Lester,

the door was opened, the whole
