She recalls Olelow had expressed before murder Intense hatred for Caruthers and believes him guilty, yet decides to help him, and with her aunt goes to his studio. Olelow has tied. His servant, Hvnrl, tells of overhearing confession to Bantlnnl. Henri thought his master Insane. Hcn ricks, concealed In room, hears all this. Hendricks goes to consult Kola, an Eust Indian Interested In occult researches who had helped him In much previous detect ive work, and located In an old colonial mansion among the puliaudes.

Hendricks comes to conclu sion Bantlnnl was the murderer, ai.d through hypnotism made Olelow cor.fs. both in person to Henri and by Utters tu others. Hendricks and Lampkln go to Kola's, retreat. Kola ttlU tlum tJklow Is dead, and to prove his supernatural powers claims to go to detective's home In his astral body and bring back a Bible, which Is handed to Hendricks amlist a lot of occult haberdash.

Beaching home, Hendricks teams how nearly Kola deceived him when his mother .tells of disappearance of BiMe afur one of Kola's calls during his nhnce In Eos ton. Coming now to Gielow'.i experiences, the story goes back to night of murder, Bantlnnl by his strange power abducted hit victim. Glelow wakes In narrow cell 1 and realises he Is starving. Bantlnnl teKs his prisoner he Is In his power, and how ' during three days of unconsciousness he had been used to write letters to .Miss Hunt ington and the, police. The Imprisoned art ist manages to loosen a stem" In aide of cell. Through this opening h? decides to send a message to the outsue wor.d. CHAPTER XVIII. Continued. Oiclow did not flinch as he thrust the knife blade into his wrist. Compared , to the agony of his whole being, the alight pricking sensation was nothing. Then, when the blood had flowed out and stood in a big drop on his left wrist, lie began to write his message with the knife blade. It was difficult work even ior a skillful artist, for his hand shook as if with ague, and his strength was al most gone. Here in what he wrote, economizing in words, for his space was limited: "Innocent. Confined by C. Bantlnnl I know not where. Send help. Starving. Take to police. ARTHUR GIELOW." Thenrolling the cuff tightly and . tying it with the thread, he hurriedly pushed it into the crack. He was afraid the couple would rise and walk on. According to his calculations the roil lodged just beyond the reach of his fingers and then he set about to com plete his operation. He tore his handkerchief into shreds and tying the ends together he made a long string. Then holding pieces of straw to his hand he tightly wrapped them with the strings till he had con structed a rod of straw nbout four feet In length. With this, after many fail ures, he finally pushed the cull through the crevice, lie. tuw It fall from the rock, strike something and leap into the sunlit space. For un instant it was lost to sight, and then he saw it roll into the roadway about. 20 feet from the pair on the bench. They happened to be gazing into each other's eyes anil did not see it. Then a carriage, the driver of which wore a high hat and a blue coat with brass buttons, whirled past. The hoofs of the horses knocked the blood-stained messenger out of (Jielow's Bight. His heart Bank within him. Trem blingly he took oil his remaining culf, but the blood drop had become smeared and dry on his wrist, and his right hand shook pitifully. "It's no use," he said, with a groan. Again he peered through the crevice. The sun seemed to be going down. The lovers had risen, and, arm in arm, were strolling away. For a few moments Glelow lay motionless on the straw, then he tried to replace the wedge of atone to hide the opening from Iltin tinni. but he was so weak that It fell from his nerveless fingers. All at once It grew dark about him. He felt as If he were being tossed on the bosom of an angry sea. Twenty-four hours later there was a lurried step outside. The door opened and Count Ilnntinni came in, holding a lantern over bis head. lie brought pen, ink, a pad of paper nnd an envelope. The durkness outside auel the shine of his lantern prevented his teeing the crock in the rock. Putting the lantern down by the ar tist, he shook him violently. "Wake up," he said, gruffly. "I want jfon to write, Write! Write, I say!" But Glelow did not stir. The count swore sullenly and lifted the lantern so that Us rays fell across the prisoner's face. H thrust his fin . rjers lnfi the bosom of (Jielow's shirt, "Breathing, but that Is all!" be mut tered. "Ah!" as his eyes noted the pen knife and the bloody wrist, "he wanted to punctnre a vein and get it over, but wns too cowardly. Well, you are going fast enongh, my boy. I can do without jrour jv-Btnanship." , .TO n unlocked the manacles from the prisoner's wrists and ankle, kicked them aside and left the cell. ; CHAPTER SIX. The next morning after the visit to Kola Hendricks reached his office be fore his office boy. The first thing he did was to look through the Herald for his advertisement. It was there, word for word as he had written it. Now he told himself that there was nothing to do but to hope for a reply to it. He busied himself writ ing letters until nine o'clock, ana men Or. Lampkin hurried In. "Good morning," he said. "I couldn't go to work to-day with 11 this uncer tainty on my mind, so I came right here to await developments." "(ilad you came," said nendricks, cor dially, as he bent aijuin over his desk. When he had laid his pen aside Lamp kin said: "I hardly slept a wink last night. I coultlin't get that wonderful perform ance of Kola's out of my head. It is in adsur.ee o'f miythlng I ever heard of. Hendricks laughed o?nd recounted what had occurred between him and tt is mother on his arrival nt home. "Ah, a trick, after all!" cried the doc tor, and then his face hardened under an nfterthought, "but you certainly mentioned the Bibb of your own ao cord." "That's the point that kept me awake last night," confessed Hendricks, dryly. For a moment both men were sileut, then Lampkin said: "There is only one way In which he could have done it." "How is that?" asked Hendricks, deeply interested. "Kola hud the llible ready, and when he told you to select some article at home I noticed that he gazed steadily into your eyes. Through telepathy nnd hypnotism combined he must hnT- Im pressed the idea of the book on your mind." "Hut he opposed me in that, he" "That was only for effect. The whole thing was most skillfully done. He suggested the Bible to you hypnotical ly, and forced you to demand that and nothing else." "Can that sort of thing be done?" "In the c-a:.t it is considered mere chi'd's play." Hendricks stared at his friend for a moment, then he brought his hand down on his desk with a resounding blow. "By Jove! that makes three!" he ejac ulated. "Three what?" asked the doctor. "Three similarities between Kola and Count Ilanl inui." "I don't follow you," said Lampkin, leanhig forward eagerly. "J!y Jove! it makes four," cried Hen dricks, his eves sparkling. "Listen. As he lay there last night ami grew whiter and whiter, I remarked a little indenta tion on each side of his nose, which must have been made by a pair of pinch- nose glasses. "ow, as Kola never, to my knowledge, wore glasses, and as Bantinni was never secn.without them, HE BEGAN TO WRITE HIS MESSAGE WITH HIS KNIFE BLADE. that similarity occurred to me. Next my glance wandered to his long finger nails, and their grewsome points, and Bantinni popped into my head again Then what should enter my mind but that it was Kola himself who had often used that foreign Idiom, odntalncd in the letter to Miss Huntington. And now we know that Kola is a hypnotist of rare ability, and so is Bantinni. An exclamation of wonder escaped the doctor's His. "Do you really think Kola and Ban tinni are identical? "Oh, no," laughed the detective. "If I did I should act at once. The similari ties are there, but they may mean noth ing at all." At this junctuie the door opened, and Sergt. Denham entered. His whole manner was that of a man who had sud denly met with great disappointment, "Good morning, Capt. Hendricks," said he, respectfully, and he made 0 careless sign of greeting to Dr. Lamp kin. "Oh, it's Capt. Hendricks, eh?" said the detective, lightly. "What has come over the spirit of your dream, my boy ? The sergeant sat down awkwardly. A flush was rising in his checks. . "I have come to beg for advice," he said. "As you are not concerned in the Caruthers affair, I thought you might be willing to give me a pointer. You see, the chief trusted the whole business to me, and I was so confident of the re liability of certain Information 1 had" "in the shape of a letter from (Jie low?" broke in Hendricks, smiling broadly. "Yes," admitted the sergeant, in as tonishment. "How did you know? "A letter that every known expert declared was no forgery? "Yes." "Well, go on. I'm listening." For a moment the young officer hung his head in embarrassment, then he pulled himself together and concluded: "But in following the letter tjp we met with nothing but failure. Mr, Hen dricks, I am at theendotmyrope.andit really looks as If I am going to be set back. Capt. ilcltue is furious at me.' "Ah, that would be 'oo bad!" said Hendricks, with a touch of genuine sym pathy In his voice. "Y'ou have the in gredients of success in your make-up, and, above all, you have enthusiasm which, wheh H i well curbed, Is the main thir.g. Your egotism will rub off, I see exactly bow the land lies, and1 I want to help you. In fact, I will, if you will join me. "I'll do anything in God's world you suggest, Mr. Hendricks, said the ser geant, warmly, a hopeful note coming into his voice. Well, just let it be known at head quarters that you have beoome asso ciated with me in the case, and together we will get what we can out of it. I am no fool, and I know, that for a young detective to join me will be noi discredit to him, especially if wes win." It will be the making of me, said Denham, beaming aH ovef.. "BuH can't see what can be done." "I can," answered Hendricks, with a glance askance at Lampkin. "Sergeant, I have been hard at work on this case since the night the affair was discov- - ered." ...... "You have!" "Yes, and never got any substantial clew till you gave It to me. That's why I am willing to help you now. "I gave it to you?" said Denham, hia brow contracted. The cuff with the bloody message on it," exclaimed Hendricks. "It was writ ten by Gielow, and he is now starring, if be is not dead, somewhere in confine ment. Ho is in the power of a certain Count Ilantlnni you read it 'Buntam' who was a rival of his for the hand of MUs Huntington." Dcnhnm's astonishment was too great to admit of expression. Hendricks passed a copy of the Her ald over to him. "You see," he said, in dicating with his finger a place among the personals. "I am trying to find th man whom you sent away without tak ing down his address. If we knew where be picked up that cuff we would be on the road to success. Denham crossed his legs and folded his arms awkwardly. Apparently he had u struggle with his pride. 'As far as thai is concerned, he said, sheepishly, "I can help you on that point. I remember now that my as sistant, who talked with the fellow, told me that he said he had picked up tnc cuff on the new road which hoi been cut by an old colonial house abovi Fort Lee, on the lHilisades. I could havj told you then, but I was an ass. I waj so full of my own importance that i simply lied to you." Hendricks raised his open hani It the air, all the lingers apart. He was gazing into Lumpkin's astonished eyes, "Five! he exclaimed. "Horn ana Count Bantinni ore one nnd the same. Gielow is confined somewhere ubout th old house." The sergeant was more than mysti fied. Hendricks sprang up. "Explain it all to h'.m, doctor," he said, pointing to Hie officer. "1 must formulate a plan of immediate action.' lie stood at tlie window, Ins nanus locked behind him, while Lampkln was explaining the matter to Deuhuin, und just after the doctor had finished, h whirled into Hie adjoining room, rout ing (he astonished office boy from i seat near the telephone. 'We must prepare Ko'.a for our com ing," he said to Denham. "If he see. our turn-out approaching he may givt us the slip. I think lcun tlx him by call ing him up u moment." "Good idea," remarked the sergeant and he and the doctor drew near the telephone. Hendricks rang and in a steady, un concerned toue asked for the deairec connection. For a moment he stood perfectly still, holding the receiver tc bis ear, then he luughed. "Hello, Kola! I know your voice. 1 say, my boy, you played me fine last night. I never closed my eyes once. Oh, you needn't laugh. There's no fun iu that sort of thing. "What? Yes, he's upset too. lie wm in my office as soon as I was, anxioui to talk it over. He lost sleep, too, 1 think. But, I s:iy, Kola, I am in a dilemma about this murder case. 1 wont your advice. When I tell you what I half way suspect I think you may ad vise me to go ahead. If you have ii objections I'll come out with Lamp kin and give you my views and then 1 you still hold that I ougu: to drop the matter I will do it. "What's that? A little louder, please 5 "Oh, yes, a thorough convert at last I shall never make sport of your phil osophy again. Then we may come out at once?" And then, although the doctor wai within reach of is hand, Hendricki raised his voice as if t .leaking to so ml one in the next room. "All right, doctor, he suys we maj come. I'll send down for a cab." Imposing silence with a ge.ure ol the hand, the detective led them intc the other room and closet! the door. "He's completely oft hl guard, and tickled to death over my credulity. He'll be the worst surprised Individual that ever looked down the barrel of I six-shooter. Now, to business. We'll all three take the elevated to One Hun dred and Twenty-fifth street. I'll tele phone for a carriage to meet us t'.lere. Doctor, make out as order for some restoratives. In case Gielow Is aliw; w will need thein." Dr. Lampkln penciled a perseripilon. and snt the olK-c boy to the nearest drug store. "I hope," he remarked to Hendricks, "that you are jure, of your ground iu be lieving that olaand Bantinni are iden tical." "Oh, that's all right," grunted Hen dricks. "You sec, the count didn't eunse Gielow to disappear the verj night 1 got back without a reason. He must have been keeping n close vmtch on my movements and knew when I re turned. My mother tells me thatKolj called to ask about me every afternoon during my absence, and h never let a dny slip during that time without drop ping in this office. Why, every time he came he saw his letter to me lyihg un opened on my desk. Oh, the whole thing bears the imprint of the Indian, and I could make it clear to you if I had time. In his role as psychic adviser to the rich set he got acquainted with their ways, and, being desirou of get ting rich suddenly, he resorti'l to the Italiun nobleman ruse. He fnlt that 1 knew him better than anyon"! eise In Xew Y'ork, nnd tried to blow foe out ol his path. Falling in that, he may have decided to let me exist awhli longer, but when he had stained his hrnds with human blood he became shaky and made another trial at my whtc.pipe. ITO BB CONTINUED.
