the transom of which transmitted a soft

Ike bell when she noticed thnt the door
was not latched. She pushed against

inside. They found themselves in a
jwjTate ' hallway, and . further on,
through parted oriental curtains, they
aw. the lights of the large reception
rroom. Entering it they found it still
and vacant. The roof had a great sky
light and the several windows looking
-eastward were of polished plate glass.
Through them, when the curtains were
parted, tbe rays of the moon fell weird
)y and blended Incongruously with the
low burning lights of the chandelier
overhead. . In nooks and recesses dark
bronze and white marble statues loomed
like suggestions of the good and evil
jtbty represented. As they stood in tbe
center of the chamber, undecided what
to da, they heard a step in the adjoining
room, and Henri presented a terrified
visage over tbe top of a rrotesquely
carved wooden screen.
"Who ia it?" be cried out in a voice

The ninn sank on a dlvnn. forgetful of
1 station. Us clasped hi sbaggjr
head between his hands and groaned.
His' weakness seemed, to appeal to the
same quality in the heiress. Her mouth
lost its firmness, her face appeared to
wither. She tottered to tbe grand
piano which, open and littered with
sheets of music and the ashes and re
mains of cigars, stood near, and leaned
heavily upon It .
Mrs. Winfret stepped up to the man
and laid commanding hand on his
shoulder.
"Where has be gone to?" she demand
ed. "Speak, I say 1"
Henri looked inquiringly at Dorothy,
and perceiving that she was hanging
on his reply, said: '
"I don't know I can't sny, but he has
left forever forever, Miss Dorothyl"
The girl felt her knees growing weak,
and she sank into a rustic chair which
l.er lover had brought from the hills of
Palestine. Presently she leaned for
ward. v
"Henri, you must tell me all you
know," she said, firmly, "I am his
friend. You know I can be trustee ."
"I know that well, Miss Dorot ly,"
his accent betraying just the faintest
touch of his French birth, "but he n ade
me promise not to betray him to Any
one, although almost the last worfl he
spokewasto sayhedid itforyoursnjke."
"Did it for my sake!" muttered the
girl, and there she paused. It looked
as If she were afraid that Henri's iext
words would furnish positive confirma
tion of her worst fears.
"If it was not for the row he had t ,ith
Mr. Caruthers at the club I'd really be
lieve that there was some mistake al out
it," continued Henri, in a dismal mlf
whine, half sobbing tone. "But as t la
he has ruined himself for all time."
The man buried his face In histnse
bands and rocked back and forth n a
storm of emotion. !
"Henri," said Miss nuntington at the
lowest ebb of hope, "do you believe your
master killed Mr. Caruthers?"
"I have been wanting to go to the
Palace hotel to find out if anything has
gone wrong there," was the answer;
"but my master told me to stay right
here and deny to any caller that he had
left the city. He said he had murdered
Mr. Caruthers, but I hope I almost
hope that master was out of his head."
"Great God!" exclaimed Dorothy, un
der her breath, and then she raised her
voice : "He con f essed it to you ?"
Henri nodded.
"He said so, Misa Dorothy, but "
"Henri, Mr. Caruthers was murdered
ten days ago in his rooms at the Talnce
hotel."
"Are you sure. Miss Dorothy?"
"Yes, Mr. nendricks, the most cele
brated criminal detective in the United
States Informed me of it about an hour
ago." !
, "Then It Is true!" gasped the tew-
Ant. "ily mate not only told me about
it, but I overheard! him confessing it
to Count Bantinni. The count was
nsking him all the particulars, and tben
I heard the count sny: 'N'ow you must
tell Henri. Tell him you did It, and
then remember you must make '6ur
escape. !
"Then some one rang for me, and I
came in. Master was walking up and
down the room tearing his hair and
crying and swearing terribly. He was
like a madman. He would take hold of
a statue and choke it end yell out: 'Oh,
I'tb got you now, you black-hearted
roue! If I can't have ber ahe shall be
free from your difty clutches!' Then
he turned as I entered and started to
fly at me with the fury of a tiger, but
the count caught him and drew bim
back. ..'
" 'Tell him now,' said the count; 'tell
him about the murder.'
"And then master grew calmer and
told me a frightful story, such an un
natural one that I was sure he was mad.
But the count told me It was true and
ordered me to pack my master's bag
with a few things. More dead than alive
I obeyed, and then they went away
together."
"Where did they go?" asked the
heiress- - ;
"I don't know." . 5
"The poor fellow waa Insane," said
Mrs. Winfret, comfortingly, as she put
her arm round the shoulders of her
niece. "Even if be is caught and
brought back his unsoundness of mind
can easily be established. Come, dar
ling; let's go homol!ememUei ) ou are
now your uncle's heir unconditionally,
and if you wish you can spend all your
fortune in saving the poor fellow.
Dorothy rose stiffly, and as placidly
as one in a dream followed her aunt
from the room and down to the car
riage. Henri accompanied them to the door,
and then crept sobbing and sniffling
back to hia Own apartment.
He bad scarcely turned his back when
a man crawled out from behind a heavy
curtain of a little alcove. Ha' went
softly to the door, uniutched it, and
glided out into the dimly-lighted cor
ridor. He turned a corner, and, going
down one of the darkest and narrowest
hallways on the same floor, the ap
proached a man sitting on a window
sill.
"I know you are cold and tiled," he
said. "Hut I could not get away toon
er." It was the voice of Mitiard Hen
dricks, and he was speaking to Dr.
Lumpkin. "I found the door of tbe
studio open, and got in safely enough.
I was too late to see Gielow, and just as
I was about to come out Miss Hunting
ton and ber aunt came In and turned
up the gas. I had to lie low, but I over
heard what I'll bet the police will never
get out of the artist's servant. I heard
him tell Miss Huntington that Gielow
had confessed to the murder."
As they walked away through the
lonely streets Hendricks recounted
minutely what had taken place in the
studio. i
"He'll never hang for It if he is
caught," was the doctor's comment
when his friend bad concluded. "It Is
plain that be Is as mad as a march hare."
Tbe detective reserved his opiulon on
that point, and Lampkin studied his
face In no little surprise, Hendricks
paused, struck a match on a wall and
lighted a cigar. He held two In hla
hand, but he was too much absorbed to
offer tbe remaining unllghted one to his
friend.
"You certainly think Glelow did the
killing, don't you?" questioned Lamp
kln, taking the cigar as It waa traveling
hack to Hendricks' vest tiocket. I
"Oh. beg'-pnrdonr exclaimed the de
tective. "I was not thlnklpg of what I
was doing. As to your question, it is by
far too early to pronounce the artist
guilty, sune or Insnne, If I did thnt,
there would be nothing left to unravel,
and I don't operate that way." He
heaved a big sigh. "Doctor, mark my
words, when this thing is sifted to tbe
bottom. It w ill be found the most gigan
tic piece of shrewd criminality ever
heard of. Remember, I said ever heard
of. Good-by; this side street will take
me home quickly, and I want to think
over some perplexing details."
CHAPTER VIL
Lampkln did not see the detective
again till late in the afternoon of the.
day thus begun. He met Hendricks as
he sprang from a cab in front of Grace
church, on Broadway.
'I have but a minute to spare," the
detective said. "There is much to look
into. I am sending out trusty youug
fellows in many directions. As for me,
I am just now studying cremation."
"You want to see if"
"If a one-handed man has been taken
to a regular crematory."
'Ah, a good Idea, of course, ilave
you read tbe papers ?"
'Only tbe headlines. iney are
enough for me. Denham's star Is In the
ascendant, but it will sink eventually
into a mud-puddle."
"He seems not to have got a word out
of Glelow's servant," replied the doctor.
'He didn't know how to do it,"
grinned the man of experience in such
things. "There are many theories ad
vanced, I presume?"
The doctor nodded.
"All of them point to Gielow's love
affair and his recent flight. They make
M'ss Huntington disagreeably con
spicuous." "And a blasted shame, too!" mut
tered Hendricks. "She belongs to the
swell gang and all that, and was born
with the proverbial spoon in her pretty
mouth, but all the same she Is a credit
to womanhood the stuff mothers of
great men are made of."
"If she reads the papers she will feel
sorely hurt, for not one of them cred
its the poor fellow with even temporary
Insanity. They have made him out a
cold-hearted, cool-headed villain, who,
not satisfied with killing his man, cre
mates his body simply to show the ma
lignity of his hatred."
Hendricks was moving away, his
hand outstretched, when a sudden
thought lighted up his face and he
said:
"Anything In the papers about his
having been last seen in the company
of Count Bnntinnl?"
"Not a word."
"Then Denham is minus the chief
clew to tbe whole business. Poor Gie
low! One of the headlines dubs him a
Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde, a man who
paints Madonnas and angels, and at the
same time is the devil's vilest agent."
"I hope you will run across some
thing in Glelow's favor," suld Lamp
kln. "May Cod help him if I can't," said
the detective, with feeling. "This fore
noon I went all the way out to Kola's
place on the Palisades, hoping he might
aid me in some way. I found him ab
sorbed In crystal-gazing, and I knew
it would irritate him to be Interrupted
till it pleased his fancy, nis eastern
sen-ant had led me Into the great dark
room where Kola sat and whispered
that I must wait till the prince of occult
balderdash had received some psychic
Impression or other. From where I was
placed I could see Kola behind a screen.
His profile was towards me. His lips
were moving constanly, and bis eye
balls standing out from his cheeks on
stiff muscles. He is a fit subject for s
museum, ne has had some accident
with an explosive with which he wasex
perimentlng and his hair was singed off
close. He actually looks uncanny. I
sat without a word or a sign of recogni
tion from him till I got tired and stole
away."
"I didn't know he had moved out
there," said the doctor.
"Oh, yes, and he place suits him to a
T. He found an old colonial mansion
built half of brick, half of stone, in a
wooded, portion of Cliffaide Park, the
most inaccessible part of the Palisades.
He found out by accident that it was
under contract to be torn down before
long, and got a couple of years' lease oq
It, and recently he received a carload of
oriental rubbish from somewhere and
has turned tbe Interior into the queer
est looking retreat you ever saw, I
got onto his Idea not long ago, and,
while it is not exactly abrve board,
have nothing to say, for New Yorkers
the wealthy ones love to be hum
bugged, and Kola has discovered that
they are willing to pay for it to boot.
The vast mystery with which the rascal
l.ivests his personality does the work.
He couldn't have chosen a better place.
The old mansion is reputed to have been
the headquarters of a gang of thieves of
long standing, and when they were dis
banded ten years ago I heard much
about the place. One of the thieves
who died in prison said a gang of coun
terfeiters had operated .there for fif
teen years and had the most perfect out
fit In the cellars beneath the bouse that
was ever owned in America. As I said,
the mystery does the work for Kola.
He receives applicants for psychic mes
sages iu the dark or when he is cowled,
gowned n-d masked,' I heard of one
multi-millionaire who wanted his ad
vice and went out there one afternoon
In a coach with six armed attendant
to drive off possible highwaymen.
Kola's ambition is to get rich rapid
ly, and I think he is making consider
able money. He has founded a sort oi
cult, and I assure you none but the rich
are admitted."
"Do you think he can really tell peo
ple things they don't know?" asked Dr.
Lampkln.
"He often gives me valuable hints,"
answered Hendricks, with a shrug. "J
have no Idea bow he gets his Informa
tion. You know my weak point is su
perstition; I can't help It, I shall talk
with him about this case before It Ii
ended. He is a sensitive cuss and would
tnke offense If I didn't. I want to know
particularly If he lias ever met Ban
tlnnl, and if he has I want to know what
be thinks of blm. I called at the count's
rooms this morning and found he had
left the city. His housekeeper was as
mum as a gravestone with the top
knocked off. I interviewed Caruthers'
valet. I wanted to see the letter he re
ceived fmm Philadelphia, but Denham
has iu The valet admitted that it wai
typewritten, however."

THE delights of an evening spent around a well-lighted read,
ing table are not half understood. An illustrated magazine
with its wealth of illustrations, its stories of adventure and
love, its descriptions of travel which carry you to the remotest
ends of the earth, and its instructive articles for young and old these
are the first requisites for your own enjoyment and the entertainment
and proper education of your children. .
To secure for you the best and most interesting of the great illus
trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the aim of the
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our readers
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo
politan, which seeks to become better known in this neighborhood, has
enabled us to offer you a year's subscription to the greatest of the illus
trated magazines together with a year's subscription to this journal.
BothTogetherOneYearforOnlySi.80
In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated .
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what ome of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse- -less
carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange
ment of sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitan
which set the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussingthe defects of existing educational systems. It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the
prld's civilization. j ; ) ' . -.. , ,
"Vft have also succeeded In arranging for two additional Offers in ;
JDftnection with this journal and The Cosmopolitan
After placingon your book -table the best of the illustrated magazines
in connection with your home paper, probably the most-important
thing in a household for every household, in fact is the proper
keeping of accounts. The only thorough system of Self-instruction
in Bookkeeping is the "Ellis." It is not only a complete instructor,
but with it, neatly put up in a box, go sales-book, cash-book, journal,
ledger, bill-heads, statements, bank-book, bills payable and bills re
ceivable, checks, remitting book and every conceivable appliance for
beginning and carrying on the business of the farm, the shop, the
manufactory or the store. More people fail in business because they
do not keep their accounts straight than from any other cause.
Farmers and mechanics, husbands and wives, students and profes
sional men, young and old, rich and poor, all need some knowledge of
accounting. By the "Ellis System" this is easily acquired through
home study.
The cheapest price at which this is sold at retail is $1.75 (express
from Michigan unpaid), but The Cosmopolitan has purchased many
thousands of sets so that it may offer them if taken in connection
with this paper and The Cosmopolitan
All Three Together for Only $ 2.25
One other opportunity we offer you. You wish to keep in touch
with metropolitan life, through the medium of a great daily. The
Thrice-a-Week World of New York is the equivalent of a daily and
is a marvellous fund of knowledge concerning the happenings of the
day. Each issue contains six to eight pages of eight columns each or
over eight thousand columns of reading matter a year. In former
days this would have cost you probably as much as 5.00 a year,
by itself. Now you can have it, if you wish, in connection with your
home paper and The Cosmopolitan Magazine
Three Together One Year for Only $2.35
