ET {t was not to sleep. Dawn found me at the window, réstless, dispirited, merely waiting impatiently for some opportunjty to act. The morning papers contained no reference to the tragedy—the body of the dead man had not been found in time, There would ve noise enough: when it was, no doubt, for Alva must have been widely known and ranked as of some importance. Even if his identity was never established, If no suspicion was ardused as to hig posi- |, tiom and secret work in this countr; yet the vewy mystery of the case would create a sensation. I went down to Costigan’s place on foot, not being entirely certain of the xact location, It was an ordinary rner saloon, with a stairway - ing to rooms above. In the morning hours the barroom was nearly de- serted, but the man at the bar, look- ing me over cautiously, said that “Mr. Parker” had already gune out, and had-left nu word as to when he | would return. I remember eating in a basement restaurant, Where 1 was totally un- known, and then departing for the rendezvous on Le Compte Street. I approached the number given with serious misgivings. If the police were actually on the tratl, some knowledge of this place might be in their posse: fon, and 1 could not be too cautious. ‘The fact that it was here Krantz and Harris had held their interview, coupled with the girl's selecting the sane place for our meeting, made me suspicions.

There was no outward sign of any Surveillance as I turned into the sk; indeed, except for a grocery emgranda in an organ-grinder at the farther cor- ner, entertaining a group of children, the street was entirely deserted. Mustering my courage, and with 9 feeling of deep excitement, I advanced up the steps of the one numbered 287, and, finding refuge in the outer vestibule, rang the bell. I heard no distant tinkle, But within a moment or two the door opened a crack, held in that position by a chain, and the face of a middle-aged woman peered out at me. She was framed in ‘duski- ness, and I whs scarcely scious of anything but her eyes staring un- friendly into my fa “Well, what is it no encouraging tone, “I should like to ses Miss Conrad,” I bean apologetically. “I have an appointment with her.” “Not here yer ain't, young man, for there ain't nobody by that name in this house.” “Are you stire?

So the. young woman had deliberately lied to me; had merely been amus- ing herself at my expense; had sent me on this wild goose chase so that she might! laugh over my simplicity. I glanced -up at the front of the house, searching the windows, but without results, The curtains were closely drawn to keep out the sun and the place appeared "forlorn and de- jgerted, At the delicatessen shop on | the corner I gained a gleam of light, but merely enough to strengthen my former judgment.
