He would not identify the comran-

is understood that the total per-

to warrant hearings. There was
no denial, however, that otter

Down to the ground level" the
man behind directed.
AS she turned TO continue the de-
scent she quickly looked up and
back. hoping to catch a glimpse Of
her captor.
Too dark. madame! Also, ! am
a master Of DISCUSSES. Tomorrow l
will not be as am today. Even my
voice will change-like this"
She could have sworn two per-
sons were talking. A cold feeling
crept up her spine. This was no
ordinary criminal. This was one OF
the clever fiends engaged by a for
eign power to steal the secret OF the
new radio transmitter.
They reached the ground floor,
all dark except for the light in the
transom over Professor Halders
laboratory door about midway Of
the building.

naper whispered, 1T Is unlocked.
Push It gently with your foot. Not
a sound, or you will not breath

He grasped her arm and guided
her into the blackness OF the room.
The door sighed shut behind them.
"One moments" he directed. She
heard him sliding something on the
floor. Now, this way Careful! Step
down. That's 1t. You are on a stair
way-a very steep stairway. Per-
haps I had better unite your hands.
There! That Is better. Feel your
way down. 1t is not far. Ten steps,
perhaps"
Her exploring hands found a
railing. His feet followed, close
above her, into the dank air Of a
basement.
1--WE are safe" The man sounded
relieved. This cellar has been for
gotten for years. Momentarily
those police had me worried. Not
that they are clever-but even
dumb police. II there are enough of
them :"
He left the sentence unfinished.
She saw the silhouette Of his head
against a faint oblong Of light in a
wall near the ceiling. He was look

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

AGATHA STRUGGLED, but the
other arm Of her unseen assailant
crushed the breath out Of her.
A voice breathed close to her ear
a. she went limp, IF you night l
will have to hurt you!"
A cloth was slapped across the
lower part Of her face, and before
she could cry out 1t was jerked into
her mouth. The ends were knotted
tightly behind her neck, effectively
gagging her.
Easy nowl" directed the voice
in what sounded like a disguised
accent. II will tie this rope around
you-so-and, ah. q second one

She was helpless. her arms lashed
to her sides, slip-lnot choking
her throat.
Remember" whispered her cap
tor, II am holding this rope. II you
try to escape you will strangle. Go
down the stairway quietly"
She cast desperate eyes down
the hall to where the college boys,
Clemantine and the others stood
arguing with Lieutenant Larkey.
One Of the boys was facing In her
direction, but he made no move. OF
course he could not see her. He was
in the light and she was In the
dark.
No sound came now from the
nearby railroad yards. In the quiet
Agatha could hear the soft tread
of her captor behind her as she
started down the stairs. She
stornped loudly, but only once. A
jerk on the rope shut OF her wind

AS she reeled hand grasped her
arm and the rope loosened. "You
fool! Now-down the stairs, and
hurry"
She tried to tell herself this was
a nightmare-that she was in a
building guarded by police-that
such a thing as this couldn't pos

"Did-did I"
Eyes, yes! Come on. You were

West opened the spade six and
