Florence greeted the visitor warmly, and seemed none the worse for last night's adventures. “Tell me all about It! Morning you promised to, Tell me does it all mean? And bas It brought @tain Mystery?” He put up a hand in laughing pro- test, then his face grew grave, and he replied: “I found a cipher note that told of @ Crimson Stain plot to get bold of Mrs. Clayton's necklace at the ball I don't know which of two people who called at my office dropped the note. ‘When I do know, it will tell me much. I ‘made up’ as noarly as possible Mike the chap whose refiection we pho- tographed; and I went to the ball that way. The necklace was stolen end the thief slipped it Into my hand.

With a wrench he sought to drag the intruder into the Mbrary. The other resisted, but under Harold's grasp the fingers opened and the necklace fell to the floor. "Pick it up, pleas he bade Flor- ence, flinging himself forward. The curtain rod came clattering down. And as he grappled Harold Stanley held the man whose wrist he grasp: His opponent was tall and strongly built, The man's head and face were enveloped In a mask-hood, through whose narrow slits two eyes gliittered, Out Into the hallway reeled the strug- gling men. Harold, for an instant, released his grip on the other's wrist and, graspiag the mask-hood, tore tt away. a he did not thus reveal a face, but merely a second and inner hood-mask; adjusted more closely than the first. In the moment of dazed aston- ishment whilo Harold stood marvel- in@ at this phenomenon, the masked man wheeled about and dashed full speed up the stairs, Harold, recover- ing himself, followed, But the other had gotten a start of several yards, a cat. Harold . He was just in time to see the man slip into the laboratory, closing the door behind s him. Harold cleared the intervening dis- tance at a bound, and selzed the door- knob, But the spring lock resisted his best efforts, Furlously he threw his welght against the door. The stout panels held firm, Steps sounded from within. Some one, was crossing the laboratory toward the door. Stanley moved back a few feet, and stood ready to strike should his foe venture forth. The laboratory door swung open. Dr. Montrose stood on the threshold.
