Late that night Hendricks and Lampkln call at home of Miss Hunt ington. Dorothy shows detective type wrltten letter, which was an Invitation for herself and aunt to occupy with Count Bantlnnl, Italian noleman, his box at lionse show, as he wu called out of town by pressing busmeis.

His servant, Henri, tells of overhearing confes sion to Bantlnnl. Henri thought his master Insane. Hendricks, concealed in room, tears all this. Hendricks goes to consult Kola, an East Indian interested in occult a-esearches who had helped him In much previous detective work, and located In an old colonial mansion among uie jiiniouu. Dr. Lampkln Is summoned by Hendricks, who has been shot. Bullet la remove and detective warned not to leave his room. Hand-ricks unknown enemy had tried to chloroform him In his sleoep.

'At this juncture the ofliee boy re turned with the parcel for the doctor, and they saw thut he was aocampauied by Miss Huntington. "I do hope you will pardon my intru sion," she said, humbly, to Hendricks, who had hiiilily risii to niec-t lier, "but U seemed impossible to wait longer at home. Won't you tell me if you have made any progress?" "We've made some in the right direc tion," ' said HeDdrioJts, reflectively. "Come, sit down a moment. You look awfully cold. You have met Dr. Lamp kin, and this is Sergt. Denham, of the detective bureau. We are all working for you." "You say you have done something?" faltered the young lady, as she sat down near the radiator. "Oh, I do hope lam almost afraid to n.vfc " In her agitation she seemed unable to conclude her remark. "We know where Uantinni ," ex plained Hendricks, "uml.iis you know, ' we have reasons strong reasons, in fact, for believhig that -Mr. (lit low v;is In his power only a few days ago. You must not be too hopeful, however, for tou must realize that it wuuld be ngisiust llantinnl's interests to allow your friend to live and be a witness against him. Pardon me for not be ing able to put the situation before you siore delicately, but I do not want to raise false hopes." They saw her shrink under the words like a flower placed before the open door of a furnace. She said nothing. Hen dricks bit his lip nnd pulled his beard as If angry at himself. He tried to throw k more hopeful ring into his tones as he went on: "We are going out to Eantinni's place at once. It is just above Fort Lee, on the Jersey side. If we are fortunate enough to tlnd .Mr. Gielow still alive, everything possible shall be done for liim. Dr. Lampkln has already sent for the necessary medicines. We were just .getting ready to start." "Have you yourself any hope that Mr. Gielow may be found alive?" asked the young lady as she rose. Ilendricki looked down. "It may sound paradoxical," he said; "but I base my hopes in regard to his fife on his statement, made perhaps two days ago, thut he was starving." "Oh, don't say that!" cried Miss Huntington. "You see," went on Hendricks, as they all moved towards the door, "Dantiiinl placed him in confinement for a pur pose. If he had not desired that iie low should be kept ulive for awhile he would have put him out of the way at once. It looks as if the count Intended to let him live for awhile and has for , gotten io give him attention." . Miss Huntington laid her hand on Hendricks' arm. - v , "I am going to ask a great favor," she .said, tremulously. "I want to go with you. ' If he Is dead, I should like to be there at once, you know, and if he It lireC'I could help!" ; ., . V i nendricks' fan fell. He . glanced -dubiously at the'srrgeant and Dr. lampkln, then his face slowly cleared op. ' "" i ; BAHEI W ""ss"e?J-"S"4aSa'srjsiBae,eej- go," he said. "I have ordered a closed carriage to nieet'us at the elevated atal tiou. Yon could remain in the ca riage till we went in and made the ar rest and then you certainly would come in handy." , ,. 1 . "Oh, you are ao good I " she exclaimed. "Please do not lose anr time." ' CHAPTER XX. As the carriage was ascending the rrrudual incline . oi the rueged road through the woods surrounding the old mansion, the four occupants agreed that, to prevent any suspicion of their intentions entering the mind of Kola, the sergeant and Miss Huntington were to remain inside the carriage witji the blinds down while Hendricks and Dr. Lainukiu went in. And just before getting out, when the door was reached, Hendricks said to the sergeant: Keep a good look-out, and if be should escape us and make a break for the front, stop Win. "All fight," agreed the ofheer, and he miled apologetically at Miss Hunting ton, as he took out a big revolver and laid it on the seat between them. Lamnkin and Hendricks had their re volvers cocked ready for use lu the pockets of their overcoats. It had been agreed that they were to take Kola by surprise, get him well under Are and then calmly demand tne res toration of the prisoner. Going up the steps, Hendricks and Lamnkin found the big front door open, nnd as no one came to answer tneir rimr thev were hesitating as to what course to pursue wneu num iuiuoi um cowled head through the curtains and called out, cheerily: "Oh, hello! Come right in, gentle men." When they went into the room in which Kola had entertained them the night before, they found the windows darkened and the same dim lights burring overhead. "I have just got up," said the Indian, with a smile. "That performance last night took all the strength out of nie. I hope I'll never have to go through that sort of thing again to convince anyone of mv ability lu that line. "You won't have to, my boy," replied the detective. "Cut 1 want t' have a talk with you." "1 know I know, sit down," and Kola waved his hand at the lounge on which he had reclined the preceding night, but it had been moved against the wall. lie tat down in a chair at a tabic. Hendricks and Lumpkin both obeyed. The former thrust his hand into the pocket of his overcoat an grasped the butt of his revolver. "Kola," he begun, "I have reasons for thinking Gielow is alive and " "Hold on!" the Indian broke in, with a laugh. "Listen to me, Hendricks. What if I should tell you that you are absolutely in my power you and your friund that simply by pressing the electric button tinder my hand I could hurl you both into eternity?" A startled .look flushed inlo the face of the detective, ne looked above him and then down at his feet. "I should believe you," he said. "My pod, doctor, he has trapped us!" "Don't move a muscle or raise a An ger if you want time to etiy your prayers," chuckled Kola, "for as sure as you sit Mure you will be dead in a minute. The rug under your feet covers some thin boards over a cavern 200 feet deep. With all your shrewd ness you have never suspected me, but you do suspect Count llantiiuii, and it does not suit me to huve you prying further into his affairs. I have tried twice to get you out of my way, nnd I do not intend to fail this time. Xow, get ready. I assure you it is a genuine delight to see flint expression on your face. I'd get you a mirror, Hendricks, but to do so I'd have to take my hand oil' the button." "I can ask only one thing," said Hendricks, calmly, and a perspiration broke out over his face. "What Is that?" asked Kola, with a smile. "My friend here is not responsible for what I have done, and I hope" "Oh, there is not a ghost of a chance for him!" broke in the Indian. "You can sec that, Hendricks." Lampkiu was speechless with sur prise. He had been slow to grasp the awful seriousness of their predicament, but when ha did it completely un nerved him. ' Kola glanced past them at a little clock on the call. "I'll give you just a minute," he said. "It's as much time as 1 can afford to allow. My Indian pal has become shaky and threatened to desert me if I sprung the trap on you. I must pacify him and show him how safe we are. I could explain to your driver out there that an aeeiileut had happened, and no one would think of blaming me." Then, itliough their eyes were glued to Kola's Sinister face, they ob served the silk curtains behind the In dian stir as from n breeze, tU n the cur tains parted cuulioiis'y, and Sergt. Denham peered in. They saw from the wondering gaze of his wide-open eyes that he was mystified by their un expected silence, their white faces, an:! the haIf-erouchiii;j attitude of the In dian as he lenntij over the table, his stiff lingers on the hutlon. Like a flash a plan of action came to Hendricks, and its stibtiMty was worthy of hisgreut intellect. The words he called out the next instant he hoped would stay the death touch of the murderer and fur nish a key to their predicament to Den ham. "Hold one second!" he cried. "I know something you ought to know. Kola. We are completely In your pow er. I know that when you press that electric button we shall be hurled into the pit below, but you must listen." - Kola's enjoyment seemed intense. "I don't want toiear anything from you," he laughed. "(Jet ready." Hendricks drew a deep breath. The most startling feature of the situation was that Denham did not seem to com prehend their peril. He half smiled as if he thought Hendricks were playing one of his practical jokes on his man before arresting him. "Time's up," announced the Indian. "Denham, jerk him back trurd! "yelled Hendricks, and, In the sudden shock of astonishment over the puzzling com mand, the Indian involuntarily raised his finger from the button, and the sit uation seemed to flash upon Denham. Like a projectile hurled from some powerful destroying machine he sprang at Kola. He caught h: n by the throat and pulled Im over the back of his ohair.-" Hendrlcka- sprang; from the rug, dragging the almost inactive doc tor with him. Kola wriggled in Den- bum's clutch and managed to. get ou his feet. But, with his fingers digging Into the Indian's throat, the sergf n,t bore him backwards over the table. In the. struggle Kola's shoulder pressed down on the electric button. There was a crash of timbers under the lounge just vacated, and with a dull, subter ranean rumble the flooring over that spot disappeared in a yawning black hole. Hendricks was beside himself with rage as he towered over the now pas sive Indian. Oh, you dirty scamp!" he ejaculated. He took a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and fastened them on Kola's wrists. The Indian's face was the color of ashes. "Downed me, after all," he said, re signedly. You dirty puppy, was all that Hen dricks seemed able to say, but in a moment he was perfectly calm. "Kola," he said, firmly, "we want Gielow." The Indian sat down in his chair. He had grown calmer, and now a sort of dogged smile played over his face. Oh, you do! he said, almost with a sneer. And we are going to have him," add ed Hendricks. "Never," said Kola. "It doesn't suit me to give him to you. I know I am good for the electric chair, anyway, so why should I tell you where he is? There Is not another man alive that knows the secret entrance to his cell. You would have to blast away this whole hill of stone to get at him, and then you'd not find him alive. The last time I saw him, two days ago, he was dying of starvation. Huh! Gie low's suffering and death Is all the sat isfaction I shall have out. of the busi ness. Y'ou will find enough of my elec trical appliances down below to amuse you, but the secret vaults can be en tered by no one besides myself. I learned the secret from the sole sur vivor of the old gang of counterfeiters, and leased the place for that reason." Hendricks proposed to Lampkin to go with him downstairs. "Get your gun ready," he said. "Ha h.ia a dark-skinned assistant somew here about here." "I think he has skipped," said Den ham. "I saw a fellow in foreign clothes ruu out of the side door. I was afraid it was your man giving you the slip, so I came in to see about it, and happened to get here hi time." "Oh, he's giiiie," said Kola, grimly. "He is a coward. He knew what I was going to do in reg'ard to the dead-fall and was ton chicken-hearted to face it." "Kola," said Hendricks, "it can do you no possible good !o keep tack informa tion in regard to Gielow s where abouts." "You will never know that from me," answered the Indian. Hendricks' face fell, ne signaled Dr. Lampkin to follow and led the way downstairs. In the basement they found nothing of note except a trunk bearing the in itials of Weldon Caruthers.. "That's what he brought the body in," said Hendricks. ' In the big cellars below, they found, directly under the trap Kola had ar ranged, the yawning opening of a deep pit. "An awful hole," said Hendricks, as he turned away. He pointed to some large steel vessels and two large cop per cylinders such as are used, for mak ing lime light in the theaters. "That's w here lie cremated the body seetiou by section," he said. "He thoiiirlit, as most murderers do, that his secret was well guarded." They searched through all the rooms of the cellar, and then Hendricks stopped. "We are losing time," he grunted, in disappointment. "I believe Koia told the trulh about his being the only one who knows the secret of Gielow's hid- ing-plaee. I am also sure that Gielow Is somew here under ground. We have seen one cavern, and it is not unlikely that there are others. It has long been believed that they are under this hill Can't you think of some plan to wring the truth from that imp?" They had paused before the door of a little room where a dim light shone over the transom. Lampkin tried the latch, and, finding the door unlocked he pushed it open. The ruom had shelves on all three of its walls, and these shelves w ere well filled with all sorts of 'cot ties. "His laboralory," said Lampkin. "Xo, 1 cannot tell you what to Uo. Ah! I have un idea." The doctor took down a bottle and read the label and then uncorked it and uppikd it to his nose. "Ether," he said! "This bottle re minds me of un experiment I once taw performed at a medical college. A thief was made to confess under the influence of ether. In the first stages of anaesthe sia a subject almost invariably becomes talkative and will talk about exactly w hat he desires most to keep back "Hring it upstairs, for the love of mercy," cried the detective. "It can't do any harm." As they entered the reception-room Kola's questioning glance became fixed on the bottle In the doctor s hand. "Huh!" he grunted, "you need not try to give me thut. I won t take it. "l'ind me a towel, Hendricks," was all the doctor said. He spoke like a de termined man w ho is thoroughly angry Hendricks darted into a bathroom near by and returned with the required article. "Xow lay his lordship on the floor," the doctor said. Koln wriggled like nn eel, but, with Ikndrioks tit his head nnd Sergt. Dcnlviin's determined hands at his feet. they soivn had him laid out. Dr. Lamp kiu folded the towel into the shape of a funnel and saturated it with the fluid feom the bottle. Then he started to put over Kola's month and nose. "Hold en, give him one more chance," !; dered Hendricks. "Where is Gielow, Kola?" The only answer the Indian made was to close his lips tightly. "The devil is trying to hold his breath!" cried Lampkin. "I'll Bhow him a trick that will beat that. lean make him take it." And, holding the towel over Kola' nose with his left hand, he began to punch him violently In the chest. This proceeding made the Indian gasp for breath, and forced hlin to take deep draught pf the ether. to bm connnnBD.1 THB BLANKVLLLE IX A.

"And so often, added another. "And is so helpful in church work, ' con tinued a third. ' "And in everything we get up," said a fourth. "We really cannot offend her. It would never, never do," chorused several decid edly. "But what on earth can we do!" asked the secretary hopelessly. "If it were only ourselves we could ad mit her," said the lady regent, tearfully. "Hut we never could make the board of regents understand." "Why isn't she eligible!" asked the vis iting daughter. "Because she is an English girl Jim For aigne married when he was in London." ex claimed a number together. "But she's a most charming and helpful woman." "I really do not see what we can do," moaned the lady regent, despairingly. "We can't offend her, not on any account; and we can't admit her; under our rule it's ut terly impossible." "I have it," exclaimed the secretary, with exultation. "We'll disband, and then we'll organize ourselves into a progressive euchere club. She can belong to that." "O," cried the rest, unanimously, "you clever, clever girl!" And it was thus arranged. N. Y. Journal. HE HAD INVESTIGATED. A Visitor a Macara Falls Who Was Prepared to Prove They Were the Real Thins.
