Tho Empty Wharf.

The suspected area Of Limehouse
was closely invested as any fortress
OF old when Seton Pasha once more
found himself approaching that
neighborhood. lie had spoken 10 sew.
erai plckein. and had gathered no
news Of interest. except that none Of
them had seen Chief Inspector Kerry
since some time shortly before dusk
Musing upon the sordid mystery
which seems TO underiie the whole OF
this dingy quarter. Seton pursued
his way. finally 10 emerge near op-
posite a diiapidated gateway giving
access 10 a small wharf.
He was about 70 turn back when
sound attracted his attention. A
dog was whimpering somewhere
near him.
Like Kerry. he always carried an
electric pocket lamp, and now he d.
rected it's rays into the interior Of
the building.
A tiny spaniel. whining cxcitediy.
was engaged in scratching with his
paws upon the dirty floor as though
determined TO dig its way through.
IL was n toy spaniel Of a breed
very popular among ladies OF fash.
ion. and TO its collar was still at.
tached a tattered fragment OF rib
bon.
Seton acted promptly. He snapped
off tho light. and. replacing the
lamp in his pocket, stepped into the
building and dropped down upon his
knees beside the dog. applied his ear
to the floor.
In spite OF that iron control which
habitually he imposed upon himself.
his heart was beating rapidly. He
had learned at Leman 1T. that Kerry
had brought Mrs. Twins dog
| Princes Gate TO aid in the search
I for the missing woman. He did not
doubt that this was the dog which
snarled and scratched excitedly be
side him. Dimly he OWNED some.

into the hands OF the gang. but the
dog. evidently not without difficulty.

listening: but not sound could he
detect.
There's nothing here. old chap lie
said 10 the dog.
Responsive TO the friendly tone,
the little animal began barking loud
ly with high staccato notes, which
must have been oudible on the Sur.
rey shore.
Seton was profoundly mystified by
the animals behavior. He had per.
sonaliy searched every foot OF this
particular building, and was conf.
dent that II afforded no hiding
place. Yet in view OF the dogs be
havior he determined to cause the
place 10 be searched again. as secret.
