The professor's ner- | vousness had fallen from him and he spoke with the calmness of fatal- ism: “There was no lightning. That was not thunder, but a shot! Come!” The realization of the truth had pierced the detective’s conscious- ness even before his host voiced it| and he sprang for the door. As he flung it open, with the rotund figure in the tattered dressing gown close at his heels, he heard unmistakably the sound of hurrying footsteps be- low and plunged for the head of the stairs. The narrow hall was but dimly lighted and in the unnatural sil- ence which followed the echo of the shot, their own feet as they; cluttered down the matting-covered stairs drowned out the lesser sound which had come up to them. The hallway directly below was deserted and the door leading into the apartment was closed and blank. | Professor Semyonov paused to ham- mer upon it but Barry hastened on | downward, his eyes striving to pierce the gloom. Was that a fleeing figure below him or just his own distorted hadow advancing before his reck- less descent? On the third floor he halted.

We will knock.” Suiting his action to the word, he | rapped smartly, waited, and rapped again, but there came no response, only the steady glare of that garish light and the banging from the en- trance on the ground floor. |First | Ave., Professor Semyonov shrugged and | turned to descend still further, but | the sergeant graspei his arm. “That's only someone who heard | what we did—the officer on this beat, perhaps—and wants to investigate, | Let me wait. If anything is wrong in this house, it is behind that door! I'm going to assume responsibility | for breaking it in, professor. Stand back!” The door itself was a massive one but the lock evidently old and flim- sy and at his third onslaught it snapped with such suddenness that he was almost precipitated into the apartment. A single glance sufficed to show the outlines of daintily carved fur-| niture and cushions scattered about) in profusion by an obviously femin- ine hand but the room was empty | and- its only illumination was that strange ray of counterfeit sunlight which streamed through an opened door in the opposite wall, a door} which led evidently to that studio! built over the strip of garden of which the professor had spoken. The still, heated air was heavy ; with a subtle, cloying perfume but! mingled with it was a harsh, acrid] odor that was not new to the de-! tective and he sprang across to the| studio and then paused. \ Facing him upon a large easel was the portrait of a women in a gray evening gown poised on the third step of a staircase with one! slippered foot slightly advanced and a hand of startling whiteness upon which a huge emerald blazed rested on the dark, polished wood of the balustrade. The painting was only half finished, but it was indicated in broad splashes of color and with the bold, sweeping lines of the car- toonist which rendered the likeness | unmistakable to anyone familiar] with the lineaments of those in the city’s highest society. All this Barry took in with one darting plance and then his eyes traveled to the foot of the easel and what lay there, It was the hud- dled body of a woman with masses of tawny hair scarcely dishevelled by her fall and a spreading stain, upon the breast of her paint-daubed smock. Kneeling beside it he gently raised the head, which rolled back- ward in his hands and the curious- ly long, narrow, half-opened eyes stared up suddenly into his with a dull, unwinking gaze. “Dead!” the professor announced beside him. “She was at ‘work when | the shot pierced her breast. See, her thumb is/still thrust through the palette and the maulstick and brush have but just fallen from her hands.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) | (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service) ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS | By Olive Barton Roberts The next letter that Nancy picked up from the bundle of “lost letters” in Mr, Stamps’ pbstoffice in the hickory tree was a Rub A, Dub, Scrub-Up Land.

I ate so little that I actually lost fifteen pounds and when I did eat anything indigestion nearly suffo- cated me. I was constipated and had a terrible roaring in my head which ad¢hed like it would split in two. “But Tanlac made a clean sweep of all these troubles and now I have so much strength and energy that a ‘speed-up’ job doesn’t tire me at all.
