the policeman on guard at the foot
of the staircase. Once he heard a
nolle upstairs. He listened. It
was nothing. Perhaps It was Doris,
unable to sleep. Once, In fact, she
herself heard the patrol In the hall
and, fancying It some Intruder, rose
and took from a drawer a pistol
which she laid on a dressing table
near her bed.

He looked up, startled, as he
heard some one glide In through

"Is there have you found a

Ramsay thonght he understood.
It was an excuse to see him. The
filmy robe undulated as she moved
closer. She was Indeed alluring.
Yet he did not love this girl

to be harsh with her. What should

In another part of the city, some
hours before, two men of evil mien
had been sitting at a table In a
sort of laboratory. It was strangely
suggestive of that of Dr. Scarley,
yet It was not his.
The door opened and a third man
entered the exact counterport of
the Secret Service- man. Jack
Ramsay,
"Well, I got It all right." he
growled with a sort of under
world pride In bis work.
As he said It he displayed noth
ing less than the precious explo
sive packet which had been stolen
from the Grand Duke.
"Is the Hidden Hand In?" he
asked, noodlhg to a door that led
to en inner laboratory.
The men shrugged, Tet even as
they talked an electric signal
gleamed. One of them jumped to
open the inner door,
A powerful, etoop-shouidered
figure of a man had entered the
Inner room and was bending over
a flaming retort, more weird than
ever in the flltful light. On his
hand was a steel gauntlet, cover
ing both hand and forearm, with
talons of a bawk at the ends of the
fingers, terrifying. As he worked,
he waved the gauntleted hand over
the flaming retort, then withdrew
It. He examined a button on the
side of tbo foroBnger.
Looking up the Hidden Hand
signalled to the false Ramsay to
approach.
"Did you get them?" he hissed.
Without a word the false Ram
say presented the explosive packet,
which tbe Hidden Hand seized
eagerly from him.
"And the locket?" be demanded
hoarsely.
The emissary was about to make
explanations, wben tbe Hidden
Hand flew into a towering rage.
Belrlng the emissary with one
hand, he pointed at him the
irauntMert hend. pressing the but
ton. A cloud of vapor seemed to
spurt from the Iron forefinger. The
unluckr emissary s waved.
As siddenly thp Hidden Hand
cheeked his fury. From a bottle on
the table he poured tome strange
liquid, which revived the emissary.

passion. Not for the wide

Helslng, you try.'m too far. What
have I done to you that you should
torture me so? What did that poor,
sweet clrl do that you should want
I to cast such dishonor on her grave?
I Are you mad that speak such things,
or am I mad that listen to them?
Don't dare to think mora of such a
desecration; I shall not gtv my
consent to anything you do. I have
a duty to do In protecting her grave
from outrage; and, by God, I shall
do itr
Van Helslng rose up from when
he had all tha tlm been seated, and
said, gravely and sternly:
"My Lord Godalmlrg, I, too, hav
a duty to do, a duty to others, a
duty to you, a duty to the dead; and

"And? then, to' -follow of your Lord
ship's wishes,!' shall hold myself at
your disposal to render an account, to
you, when and where you wilt," His
voice broke a little, and he went on
with a voice full- of pity:
"But, I beseech you, do not go
forth In anger with ma. In a long
Ufa of acts which were often not
pleasant to do,- and which sometimes
did wring my heart,' I hav never
had so heavy a task as now. Believe
me that If th time comes for you
to change your mind toward me.
on look from you will wipe away
all this, so sad hour, for I would do
what a man can to save you -from
sorrow.
"Just think. For why should I
give myself so much of labor and so
much of sorrow? I have com here
from my own land to do what I can
of good; at the first to pleas my
friend John, and then to help m.
sweet young lady, whom, too, I

death, after death? and If my death can
do her good even now, when she Is the
dead Un-Dead. she shall have It freely."
He said this with a very grave, sweet
pride, and Arthur was much affected
bylt. He took the old man's band
and said In a broken voice:
"Oh, It Is hard to think it. and I can
not understand; but at least I shall go
with you and wait."

"It was." The.professor turned to th
rest saying:
"Tou .hear: and yet there Is no one
who does not believe with me." H
took his screwdriver and again took
off the lid of the coffin. Arthur looked
on, very pal but silent: when tha lid
was removed he stepped forward. He
evidently did not know that there was
a leaden coffin, or,- at any rate, bad
not thought of it. When he saw the
