He did not take the self-serve elevator, but the stairs. The hall on the decond floor was dark. Since he did not know whether the rooms he wanted were on this floor or the next he knocked at a door, Kirby thought he heard the whisper of voices and he knocked again. He had to rap a third time before the door was opened. “What was it? What do you want?’ If ever Lane had seen stark, naked fear in a human face, it stared at him out of that of the woman in front of him, She was a tall, angular woman of a harsh, forbidding countenance, flat-breasted and middle-aged. Be- hind her, farther back i= the . the roughrider caught a glimpse of a fat, gross, ashen-faced man fleeini: toward the Inner door of a bedroor to escape being seen. He was thrust- ing into his coat pocket what looked to the man in the hall like a revolver “Can you tell me where James Cunningham's apartment is?"" asked Kirby. The woman gasped.

An’ why did it get her goat when I asked where Uncle James lived ?"* As he reached the next floor ne turned to the right as the woman be- low had directed The first door had on the panel a card with his uncle's name. He knocked, and noticed that the door was ajar. “Nobody at home, looks like,” he said to himself. ‘Well, 1 reckon I'll step in an’ leave a “ote He stepped into the room, His fin- gers groped along the wall for the button to throw on the light. Before he found it a sound startled him, It was the soft panting of some one breathing. Something was wrong. The sixth sense of danger that comes to some men who live constantly in peril was warning him. Who's there?" he asked sharply. No voice replied, but there wa faint rustle of some one or some thing stirring. He waited, crouched in the dark- ness. There came another vague rustle. The moments flew. A stifled gasp, a dozen feet from him, was just aud- thle. He leaped for the sound, His out- flung hand struck an arm and slid down it, caught at a small wrist, and fastened there. In the fraction of a second left him he realized that it was a woman he had assaulted The hand was wrenched from tim There came a zigzag flash of light ning searing his brain, a crash that filled the world for him—and he floated into unconsciousn sw CHAPTER VII. FOUL PLAY. ANE came back painfully to a world of darkness. His head throbbed distressingly. Quer- ulousy he wondered where he was and what had taken place. He drew the fingers of his out- stretched hand along the nap of a rug and he knew he was on the floo Then his mind cleared and he re- membered that a woman's hand had been imprisoned in his just before his brain stopped functioning. He had been struck on the point of the chin and gone down like an axed bullock, The woman must have lashed out at him with some weapon In his pocket"he found a match. It flared up and lit a small the pit of blackness. Unsteacdily he got to his feet and moved toward the door. He was aware of a faint per- fume of violet in the room, so faint that he had not noticed it before, He found the switch and turned on the lights. There grew on him a horror, an eagerness to be gone from the rooms. It was based on no reasoning, but on some obscure feeling that had taken place something evil, something that chilled his blood Yet he did not go, Again he groped along the wall for the light switeh A second match flared in bis fingers and showed it to him.
