(Continued From Our Last Issue) Inquiries in the neighborhood had brought to Nght the fact that four of the houses in this particular street, including that occupied by Sin Sin Wa and that adjoining it, be longed to @ certain Mr. to reside abroad. Mr, Ji were collected by an estate agent, and sent to an address in Ban Fran cisco, For some reason Mr, Jacobs demanded a rental for the house next to Sin Sin Wa's out of all pro- | portion to the property value. Hence jit had remained vacant for a num- ber of years. The windows were | boarded up, as was the door, Kerry realized that the cliroeum- stance of the landlord of “The House of Hundred Raptures” being named Jacobs, and the leases of the Cubanis Ciguret company's premises being pamed Isaace, might be no more than a coincidence, Neverthe- lens it was odd, He determined to explore. Two modeg of entrance presented themselves, There was a trap on the roof, but in order to reach it | aceeas would have to be obtained to one of the other houses in the row, which also possessed a roof-trap, or there were four windows overlook- ing @ little back yard, two upstairs and two down. ¥ By means of a short laddér which Coombes had brought for the pur- pose Kerry climbed onto the wall and dropped into the yard. “The jemmy! he said softly. Coombes, also mounting, dropped the required implement. Kerry caught it deftly, and wrenched away the rough planking nailed over one of, the lower windows, He rained the glassiess sash and stepped into & little room, which he surveyed by the light of his electric torch. It was filthy and littered with rubbish, but showed no sign of having been occupied for a long time, He went out into @ narrow passage leading to a stair, Walking quietly, he began te as cend, Mollie Gretna’s description of the oplum-house had been most de- tatled and lurid, and he was prepared for some extravagant scene. He found three bare, dirty rooms, having all the windows boarded up. “Hell!” he anid succinctly, and re- rned to the narrow passage, which he knew must be that in which the secret doorway had opened. He raised his giance to the Biack- ened ceiling and saw that the trap giving access to the roof was situ- ated immediately above him. He di- rected the ray of the torch upon it. In the next moment he had snapped off the light and was creeping silent- ly towards the door of the front room. 3 ‘The trap had moved slightly. Gaining the doorway, Kerry stood just inside the room and waited. There came a faint creaking sound. Someone had quietly raised the trap. Finally came a thud’ on the bare boards of the floor, Just behind the open door Kerry waited. And unheralded by any fur- ther sound to tell of his approach, the intruder suddenly shone a ray of light right into the room. A hand which grasped a pistol appeared be- yond the edge of the door, and Kerry's period of inactivity came to an end. Leaning back he adroitly kicked the weapon from the hand of the man who held it! There was a smothered cry of painsand the pistol fell clatter. Ing on the floor, Swiftly as a filam Kerry's arm was whipped around the man’s neck, and helpleas he pitched lover on to his head! Uttering a dull groan, he lay heavy and still. “Flames!” muttered the chief tn- | spector, extricating himself; “I didn’t mean to break his neck.” He took up the electric torch and shone it upon the face of the man on the floor, It was a dirty, un- shaven face, unevenly tanned, as though the man had worn a beard | until ‘quite recently and had come from a hot climate, He wore canvas | shoes having rubber soles, Kerry stood Watching him for some moments. Then he searched the pockets of the prostrate man, who had begun to breathe stertor. ously, In the breast pocket he found a number of cards. Upon one of theme cards he directed the light. “God's truth!” gasped Kerry. “It's the man from Whitehall!" ‘The stertorous breathing ceased, and a very dirty hand was thrust up to him. 4 “I'm giad you spoke, Chief In- spector Kerry,” drawled a vaguely familiar voice, “I was just about to kick you In the back of the neck!’ Kerry grasped the proffered hand. “719" stood up, smiling grimly. Foot. steps were clattering on the stairs, Coombes had heard the racket. “Sir,” said Kerry, “if ever you need a testimonial to your efficiency at this game, my address is 67 Spenser road, Brixton. We've met be- fore.” “We have, chief inspector,” was the reply. “We met at Kazmah's. Can I offer you a cheroot?”* eee CHAPTER XIV. ‘The Story of 719 In a top back room of the end house in the street which also boast ed the residence of Sin Sin Wa, Seton Pasha and Chief Inspector Kerry sat one on either side of a dirty deal table, Seton smoked and Kerry chewed. A smoky oil lamp burned upon the table and two note- books lay beside it. “It is certainly odd,” Seton was say! “that you failed to break my neck “You're harder to kill than a Chi- nese-Jew,” declared Kerry, “IN be obliged if you'll put me wise to your game, I take it you began work on the very night of the murder?” “I did. By a pure acecldent—the finding of an opiated cigaret in Mr. Gray's room—I perceived that the business which had led to my recall from the East was involved in the Bond st. mystery. Frankly, chivf in spector, I doubted at that time if it were possible for you and me to work together, “Deciding to work anonymously, I went post haste to Lord Wrexbor- ough and made certain arrangements COPYRIGHT, 1919, BY ROBT.

And that my investi- gations led me to the same conclu: sions as your own, my presence as lenneo of thin room, in the person of John Smiles, seaman, sufficiently demonstrates.” “H'm," mid Kerry, “and T take ft your investigations have also led you to the conclusion that our hands are clean? Seton Pasha fixed his cool regard upen the speaker, “Personally, I never doubted this, chief inspector,” Seton Pasha emiled and changed the topic.

Hubbard, was today taking his mysterious generator out of a mo- torboat in which he t said to have successfully demonstrated it yester day, and was installing it today in an automobile. He plans, it is said, to make the automobile driving test with the contrivance in a few days. If again successful, a similarly constructed generator thrice the size of the present test machine will be built, he said, for an airplane. Hub: bard claims a plane thus equipped will pail around the world without stopping. “INVENTION” IS STILL, A MYSTERY The device will cpntinue to produce motive power indefinitely, Hubbard claims, after it has once been “start ea” by contact for the fraction of a second with live wires. He describes it as being a series of coils inside a coll, but guards againgt public inves- tigation by experts. The one used on the motorboat yesterday cost about $90, it in said. The contrivance, “which will junk all other power devices,” according to ite inventor, was hitched directly to the propeller shaft of the motor- boat. Two witnemses rode in the boat while it was driven in fast time about Portage bay, in Lake Union. At @ speed of approximately ten knots an hour, the wire connections became so overheated it was necen- sary frequently to stop the craft and allow them to cool, Hubbard has obtained patents, but mays there are no many different pos- sibilities in the contrivance that he will not disclose exactly how it is made to generate power.
