Then be sought other persons on whom he might experiment. And he Picked out persons from four different walks of life, They were Tanner, Morrison, Vanya T: and Parrish. All four of these were respected and worthy people. Tanner was a sober, industrious truckman, Morrison was & well-born young college graduate who was studying law. Parrish was one of the most celebrated and severe- ly honest dotectives in America. Vanya was @ sweet and modest girl who moved in good society and whose parents were well-to-do, Dr. Montrose induced these four to consent to the use of the drug. He gave them treatment after treatment. And steadily their mental condition improved, They became brilliant in conversation, deep and logical think- era, splendidly intellectual, The doctor was overjoyed at the success of his experiments. He fore- saw that the whole human race would soon be the better and happler for his discovery, It meant the end of stu- pidity, idiocy, mental weakness. It meant 4 race of wise and Illustrious men and women Fellx judged that this moment of exultation on the t of his em- ployer was a suitable time for the urging of his own . He there- fore told Dr. Montrose of his love for Florence and asked leave to propose to her. Dr. Montrose sharply refused his consent. He forbale Felix to men- tion the subject again, under penalty of being kicked bodily out of the houae.

In that the whole story ef Pierre La Rue is told. You can read It for yourself.” He went over to the table and opened the drawer. A glance told him that the diary was gone, But a second glance revealed to him the joaded revolver lying within easy reach of his hand, On the Instant Felix’s paralysis of AS THE PANEL SLID OPEN, STANLEY STEPPED INTO THE ROOM. oret entrance to the laboratory was now doubly: useful, since It would not be well for the four notorious crooks to be seen calling on the highly re- spectable doctor. “Dr, Montrove was horrified at the change in his four patients,” continu- ed Fellx, fear departed.

Up went Harold Stanley's hands, “Now!” rasped out Felix, in his sharp, barking voice. "Step back. So! Now again! And again!” Harold obeyed. Felix, at every atep, followed him up with the menacing revolver. At his third backward step Harold found himself passing through the panel opening. Felix, close in front of him, slammed shut the panel, leav- ing Stanley a prisoner in the dark- ness of the secret padsagoway. The moment the panel closed be- tween him and Felix, Harold threw himself against it. With the boards of the panel door as a shield, he felt that he could defy and overcome the tunatio, But Felix's voice came to him, muffled by the wood: “If you touch that panel again I'll empty this pistol through it!” Stanley desisted.
