Hendricks comes to conclu sion Bantlnnl was the murderer, and through hypnotism made Glelow confess both In person to Henri and by letters to others. CHAPTEH XIV. ! At half after seven o'clock that even ing Dr. Lumpkin was waiting' for Hen dricks at the latter's office. Promptly .at the time set by the detective he hur ried into the room out of breath. At a jjlonee it was plain to Lumpkin that te had met with no success. "It's no good," said Hendricks, fum ing. "I cun't get the slightest hint as to his whereabouts. They say he has left the city, and there it ends." "What are you going to do next?" questioned Lampkin. "This case is fret ting the life out of me. I never felt so much concern over anything in my life." Hendricks' brows ran together and, without making n reply, he went into the adjoining room and Lampkin heard him ring the telephone. There was a pause; then be beard the voice of the detective calmly usking for the con nection. Then tensely: ,.rfa that Miss Huntington?" Pause of a moment. Then Hendricks" TOlce: "But you ought not to sit up there , like that. I want to suy that Dr. Lamp kin and I are going out into the coun try, and that you need not expect to hear from me again to-night." ... Another pause, then the voice of the detective broke thr silence: "Yes,' really, I can tell you nothing to-night, I am Forry to say that so far I have been unsuccessful, but while here is life, you know, there is hope." Then there was silence for a moment nd Hendricks rang -off. When he en tered the room he was white ii: the face, and his fat hands the hands which had tightened about the throats and wrists of a hundred criminals were trem hling. ' "Old man," he said, "I heard her fall , the floor just now. I heurd her aunt cream and run to her." Hendricks sat down and leaned on his dvsk. There was something in his eyes that Lamp kin had never seen in the eyes of any human being. "Doctor," Hendricks added, "if I do run across tbat dirty scamp, I I am &fraid I never can wait for justice to take its course. I am satisfied that he is not only Gielow's abductor, but that he is the man who has tried twice to do me up in such a cowardly fashion." Then Hendricks shook himself, as if Ashamed of his outburst, and leaned hack in the light at the green-shaded lamp. "1 heard you telephone MisB Iluut ington that you and I were going out into the country," said Lampkin. "Was that only a pretext ?" "No, I am going out to have a talk with Kola, and as you said you'd like to see his big rambling den, I want to take you along for company." "Nothing could please me more." "I have ordered a carriage tj meet us t the One Bundled and Twenty-fifth .street derated station. Come on, I'm ready." ' " "As the carriage, after having passed ithrough a rather dense wood for about half n mile, drew up at th, old brick, mansion with its three and a ball tories and massive fluted columns reaching from the ground to the rather Oat roof, Lampkin remarked: .. "Bather an isolated place. No bad place for the gang of robber; of which jou spoke." "It just suits Kola, as I said once be fore," answered Hendricks. "I!y the time his hoodwinked customers get here they ore prepared for anything im aginative." Telling the driver to wait for them at the door they alighted. There was but one light in sight and that was a dis mal red one which could be seen through the old-fashioned side lights of the big door on the stone veranda. There, was no bell on the door, but sim ply a quaint old knocker. , "I wish," observed Hendricks, "that it were day instead of night. You can form no idea of the picturesque rngged ness of the scenery. You see we cume by the old road through the wood, but Just behind the house there is a new drive. At this point it has been cut through solid stone, and there is a cliff, within 400 feet of us, over a hundred iset in height. In blasting tbe stone 1 m. copTrirti.im.by H. (ita W A. K.K.iiogg!l.w.pp.rr. HISSES W away, it was thought that the old man sion became unsafe, especially as it is believed that there are caverns under the hill." Hendricks mounted the steps and used the knocker vigorously. The clatter had scarcely died out when tbe tones of a bell as soft and mellow as cathedral chimes in the distance came from the house. "Kola knows my rap and the bell is a signal to his attendant to admit me, said Hendricks. "If I make no mistake you are going to be repaid for your ride out here. In psyenio tom-Ioolery and mysticism you are a schoolboy com pared to Kola. He imbibed it at the dusky breast of au eastern mother, and his very life is steeped In it." The door was opened by an Indian in the costume of his countiy. He placed his finger on his lip to indicate that they were to remain silent, and then gave a salaam that brought his turban almost into contact with the floor. "I want to see your master," whis pered Hendricks, handing him his card. Again the man bowed silently, closed the great door, nnd left them in the spacious hall. With many and profuse draperies. Kola had hung the walls and ceiling so that the effect was distinctly oriental. The ornaments, scrolls, paint ings and statues were all eastern, but what struck Lumpkin most forcibly perhaps because it was so ill suited to its environment, was a dragon of carved walnut, which stood at the foot o' the wide curving stairway. "That belongs (o the house," ex plained Hendricks in a whisper. "It is a genuine curiosity. The carving is ex cellent. One would think it of Japanese origin, but if you will notice, itisof the same material ns the balustrade, and that must have been made in this coun try." Just then the attendunt glided from between two heavy silken curtains, and with another sulaam, invited them to pass before him. Doing so, they found themselves in Kola's big reception-room Here their vision was given a rare treat, The lessee of the old ruin had removed the two floors above the one on which they stood, giving a becoming altitude to the walls, which were gracefully draped with long flowing hangings of different blending cloths. The ceiling was disguised by a filmy mass of white material, as gauzy as cobwebs, behind which shone red and yellow lights, like signal fires in a mist. i Lampkin alimist tittered an exclama tion of delight, but the impressive man ner of the attendant and Hendricks' unwonted silence checked the impulse. The servant gave them scats with their backs 1o the door through which they had entered, and then he stood still in the center of the room, his head bowe1, his turban held in front of him. After a moment the mellow-toned bell, which they had heard before, and which was suspended somewhere nmong the lights overhead, struck throe times slowly. Then a white light blazed up and Kola was seen in a hitherto dark alcove. He wore his crav cown and KOLA TURNED FURIOUSLY. close-fitting cowl, and was seen to be pacing back and forth. Without seem ing conscious of their presence s?j near him, he picked up an unlighted electric bulb and turned tbe button. Then holding the light in his right hand, he approached a black tripod over which lay a red cloth. He lifted the cloth, and a big polished crystal sphere was ex posed to view. It was about ten inches in diameter and as clear as a diamond, lie fleeting the dull, sensuous lights over head, and the bright rays of the electric bulb, it wasccrtuinly a marvelous sight. Still Kola seemed unconscious of their proximity. Prom the walls near him the smoke of incense began to rise, a ray light pervaded the room, and soft, seductive music was heard somewhere above. Kola held the electric bulb over the crystal and began to gaze into its depths, littering in sing-song tones words of a strange tongue. Lampkin heard the detective take a deep, impatient breath, and then his voice jarred harshly through the room. "Oh, I say, Kola!" he remonstrated. "I came out here the other day and had to sit and watch you go through this sort of thing till I was obliged to leave. For the sake of" ' Kola turned furiously, his fentures working wildly. Holding up his hand, he said: "You must be patient, Mr. Hendricks. You are as ignorant as an infant of the importance of what I am doing. You laugh at what you don't understand, but you don't know all that there is to be known. Itight this minute I am reading for you, and seeing what your untutored eyes will never see. I knew you were coming. I saw it here," touch ing the crystal. "I know whnt you don't know about the case you are working on. If your eye were only trained you could see it now in the crys tal." "Pardon me," said Hendricks, "that is what I come to see you about, t trn about to the end of my resources, ur.d something must be done." "Wait!" Kola turned to the crystal. The music changed to a weird airlik o Chinese funeral chant. Afler a pause of several minutes he looked up. "The other night I was reading the crystal. I saw n big hotel. A man was murdered; his body was shipped off somewhere in a trunk; its ashes were re turned by express and pliuicd in an urn together with a severed hand. The young man, who had murdered bis rivnl, went to his rooms his studio; there he remained a week and then he fled southV yes. It was south. I went into a trance unci my astral body my spirit followed him. 71 saw him aboard a ship, bound for Liverpool, I was pear him on deck, one darl nhjltf, and saw him burl himself into the roter. He is dead."' "Rotr Itubbishl" exclaimed Hen dricks. "You have been reading the newspapers, Kola. .. . .. ; The face of tbe Indian darkened was terrible to behold. Turning off the eleetrlc light, and covering up the cry tal as if to protect it from the profane gaze of an unbeliever, he strode from the alcove and stood before Hendricks. When next he spoke his voice was husky, tremulous, almost tbreatenin "You doubt ii?" be said, bis accent for the first time showing slight for eign touch. "I do, my boy, most thorough;-, and I really did think you would have more respect for me than to make such j.b surd statements to my face," Kola twisted his long bands together iu the folds of his gown. "As to the crystal," be began, "It is of inestimable value. It was cut from the most perfectly translucent rock crystal on earth, and it took a man's lifetime to polish it. I inherited it. Ii is reverenced by the ancient Society of Kosicrutians, and the Society of the II luminuti. You, whose mind is schooled to know only the signification of fullen straws and chips of material events, can know nothing of what is revealed to life-long student of the occult," "I was not ridiculing the powers of your glass giobe," said Hendricks, blenUmga sneer and a smile; "but when you said you had gone out of your body and roamed a, I round oversea-and land, well, you know that is a little tc-j much." Kola's face darkened again. For moment lie bent over the back of oneof the carved choirs. "Hendricks," he'began with tight lips, "You are u sensible man in most thlnin and I want your good opinion, Now, I am willing for you to put me to any sort of test you or Dr. Lampkin may suggest to prove tne- irutn of my claims. Oh, I haven't time just now for that wrt of thing," answered Hendricks, 'I came out here to hove a. talk with vou about" ' 'I know that very well," broke in the adept, "but it does not suit me to dis cuss anything with you till you ac- knowledge that I can do everything I cairn. After you are convinced, and yen will oe, my dear sir, then you will value tne information.! gave you just now, and it may mean much to you. It WW not take five minutes for the test I propose." ., ... Well, what is it?" asked Hendricks. who had noted Dr. Lampkin's look of .ntense interest in Io,:i s remarks. It, is this," suid Ko'.a, impressively. i wi.i give you the opportunity to name any article at any distance from us that you wish. Then I will recline on that couch there, and after five inin ules litis pasM'd, I will allow Dr. Lamp kin to cxiuniuc my body to see if it is not absolutely at the very lowat pos- sioio stage ot -vitality. As a signal, to show when the spirit has left my body, I will cause the bell overhead to strike once. Then, within five minutes from that time, I will bring to you here what ever article you have decided on." Vou can do that?" exclaimed Lamn- lun, impulsively. I ry me, onswered the Indian. Think of anything, Mr. Hendricki my Important paper iu your ofllce or book or arlice in your house." Kola was bending towards Hendricks and gazing fixedly into his eyes. Lump- Kin, wno was a member of the Psychical liesearch society of London, was taken almost out of himself by the Indian's earnestness and his novel proposition, ilenilricks laughed. "Bring me my Hible ," he said liirhtlv. "It is a beautiful book bound in gold and pearls, which was presented to me by a good old bishop for whom I once iu a favor. The idea of your having a Bible." jested nola, his eyes falling tothe floor. "Now, quick! think of something any thing in your office or Dr. Lampkin's." Ileudncks glanced at the doctor with a smile which seemed to sny: "I have him there; watch me make him squirm out of his own proposition." I he liible or nothing-," he said to Kola. "Get into your trance and bring me my Bible from home. I want to read a chapter on my way back. Y'ou can't mistake it. It is bound in Russian eather and has gold and pearl trim mings. For a moment Kola stood as if uc- decided; then he went to the lounge and threw himself on it. , ., You will have to tell me where It is." he said. "I confess that I know Utile more when out of mv body about ma terial things than I do now. People, iie mat tieeing artist, sometimes draw me to them mngneticallv but any in animate thing is different. Where ii the book?" Hendricks laughed. "It is on the center table in th li brary, directly under the chandelier; ou can t miss it." , . , , (1 "Thanks," said the Indian. "NTow.Dr. Lampkln, when you hear the bell strike, make an examination of mv body. Then when the bell strikes, five minutes Inter, sit quiet and and Mr. Hendricks shall have bis proof." ' ' if you tlo what you propose."' said Hendricks, still auntlnirly.irvou' will make a convert of me, but mind. Kola, don t want any exnlanatiousabout un favorable conditions' preventing the performance, or anything of that kind. it won t go down." ; , ,, . . . Ivola made no answer. .The musio overhead had ceased. The clouds of in cense had risen and hovered about the red and yellow lights above. The In- lan s breast heaved, as he took a deen breath, and then he lay still. Gradually ie grew paier nnd paler, till be looked ike a corpse. His features and limb were rigid. Hendricks up to this mo- ment had been smiling at the absurdity i ioiu s proposal, out the earnestness epicted on Dr. Lampkin's face finally nfluenced him. and be grew strangely uict. In ,ilout five minutes the bell over ead struck. There was a fragmentary wave of soft music, and It died away iu the distance. ITO BB CONTINUED. J ' ntriklnsly Effective.

They said I'd have no comfort In the rustlln' nxed-up throng, And I'd have to wear stiff collars every weekday right along. I find I take to city ways just like a duck to water, I like the racket and the noise, and never tire of shows: And there's no end of comfort In the man sion of my daughter, And everything is right at hand, and money freely flows; And hired help la all about, Just llstenln' for my call, But 1 miss the yellow almanac off my kitchen wau. The house Is full of calendars from attic to the cellar; . They're painted In all colors, and are fancy-like to see. But Just In this particular I'm not a mod ern feller. And the yellow-covered almanac Is good enough for me: I'm used to It, I've seen It round from boy hood to old age, And I rath?1 tike the jokln' at the bottom of each 'page, I like the way the "8" stood out to show the week's bcglnnln' (In ttveee new-fangled calendars the days seemed sort of mixed). And the man , upon the cover, though he wasn t exactly wlnnln' With lungs and liver all exposed, still showing how we are fixed: And the letters, credentials that was writ to Mr. Ayer, I've often, on a rainy day, found readln' very fair. I tried to find one recently; there wa'n't one In the city. They toted out great calendars In every sort of style: I looked at 'em In cold disdain, and an swered 'em In pity: "I'd rather have my almanac than all that costly pile."

' The opinion of five delegates from Minnesota and Wisconsin, published by the Edmonton Bulletin, are very com p.'lmentary to Northern Alberta. The report says: "We must say with all sincerity that, driving- all over the country for six days, we have not found one settler who was not more than pleased with the country and its productions, and will not return to the laud he left. We have seen people here from all parts of the states and all doing well. We met a Da kota farmer by the name of McLean, who has informed us that he has raised more grain here in three years than he did in 13 where he came from, on half as much ground. We have seen a num ber of others, both men and women, and all speak in the same strain about Al berta. They all look well and content ed; even the children are happy. In our drives over the country, in passing the countless schoolhouses, we could only see happiness in the fuces of the little ones. We noticed them all well dressed, equal if not better than tbe same class of children in the State of Minnesota.' The wheat thnt is raised here is just beautiful, the kernel full and plump and may well be termed golden grain, yielding 30 to 55 bushels to the acre. This statement is not from one farmer, but from hundreds, who tell the same tale. Oats yield from 70 to 100 bushels to the acre, barley from 40 to fiO bushels and potatoes from 300 to 400 bushels to the acre. We have taken particular notice of the climate in regard to the difference between this country and our own, When we left Ada, Minnesota, we were in the midst of a real Dakota blizzard. When wenrrived at Edmonton we found the people on the streets still wearing summer clothing, no mittens on their hands and far less use for them. The country is simply more than we ever dreamed of. The printed matter sent out by the Government does not half tell of the grand country in Alberta, open for millions of people to make beautiful homes for themselves. Too much cannot be said in praise. It is all and more than the greatest eulogist ever thought of giving to the public. We saw cattle and horses in herds grazing on the prairie like in summer time, all sleek nnd fat. We were in formed by several farmers that most of the stock run out all winter. We also found the market extra good here for beef and pork. Hogs fetch 4'ao Jive weight. Three-year-old steers will bring from $10 to $45 right from the prairie. Coal and wood are here in abundance. Coal is sold in the town of Edmonton for $2 per ton and farmers can secure coal nt the mines themselves for 75c per lontl. Before closing we say to you one and all, come to Alberta, where there are homes for millions and a promise for something to lay by for an old age.

MILLION-DOLLAR MANSION. magnificent Residence to Be Erected by Andrew Carneifle In New York City. Upper Fifth avenue, New York City, is to be beautified by the erection of a magnificent residence and the estab lishment of handsome pleasure grounds by Andrew Carnegie. As was reported several days ago, Mr. Carne gie was in negotiation for a plat of land on Fifth avenue, between Nineti eth and Ninety-first streets.' This ar rangement has now been completed, and plans have been formulated for the erection of a $1,000,000 residence. ,Th style of the mansion is expected to be a modified form of French Renaissance, finished off with the utmost regard for details. An innovation in tbe arrange ment of this mansion will be that at least half of the plot will be given np to a splendid ornamental garden, with fountains, pavilions and terraces on the avenue side laid out in the most approved Italian style. The residence itself will be four stories high, with marble and limestone front, and elab orate carvings. The greatest trouble in everyone's life is something he never had. AtcWa Giobe.
