Through this opening he decides to send a
message to the outside world.
CHAPTF.U XVI 1 1. Co.vnxumi.
(Jielow cl id not Hindi ns he thriiht tin:
.knife blade into his wrist. Compared
to the iig01iy of his whole being, the
slight pricking sensation was nothing.
"Then, when the blood had (lowed out
.and stood in a big drop on his left wiitt,
be began to write his message with the
knife blade. It was dillluult work even
for a skillful artist, for his hand shook
ns if with ague, and hisstrcngth wnsal-
most gone. Here is whit he wrote,
economizing in words, for his space was
limited:
"Innocent. Confined by C. nantlnnl I
Itnoiv not where. Send help, starving.
Tjike to police. AKTIIUUGIELOW."
Then, rolling the cult tightly and
tying it with the thread, lie hurriedly
pushed it into the crack. He wns
.afraid the couple would rise and walk
on. According to his calculations the
roll lodged just beyond tho reach of ids
fingers and then he set about to com
plete his operation.
He tore ids handkerchief into shreds
and tying the ends together he made
.u long string. Tht n holding pieces of
straw to his hand he tightly wrapped
them with the strings till he hud con
structed a rod of straw about four feet
iu length. With this, after many fail
ures, he finally pushed the cuVf thioug'i
the crevice, lie saw it fall from the
rock, strike something nnd U-.ip into the
sunlit space. For an instant it was
lost to sight, and then lie saw it roll
into the roadway about 2') feet from the
pair on the bench. They happened to
txgn.lng into each other's eyes nnd tlld
not Fee it. Then n carriage, the driver
of which wore a high hat nnd a blue
coat, with brass buttons, whirled past;
The hoofs of the horses knocked ttin
blood-stained messenger out of Gielow's
sight.
"Ills henrt sank .within him.-" Trcm
.".blingly lie tfink.oiT his remaining cu1T,
fbut the blood drop had.become. smeared
and dr, op his wrist, unit his right
hand shook pitifully.
"It's no use," lie mi, with a groan.
Again he peered through the crevice.
The sun seemed to be going down. The
lovers had risen, and, arm iu arm. were
strolling away. For n few moments
Glelow lay motionless on the straw,
then lie tried to leplace the wedge of
stone to hide the opening from Mun
tiuni. but he was so weak that it fell
from his nerveless lingers.
All nt once it grew dark about 'him.
He felt as if he were being toscd on the
bosom of un angry sea.
Twenty-four hours later there was a
hurried step outside. The door opened
nnd Count Mnntlnui came in, holding n
Jnntern over his head. He brought pen.
Ink, a pad of paper and an envelope.
The darkness outside nnd the shine of
Ills lantern prevented his seeing the
crack in t lit rock.
Putting tiie lantern down by thenr
tist. lie shook htm violently.
"Wake up." he said, gruffly. "I want
you to write. Write! Write, l say!"
Hut Glelow did not stir.
The count swore sullenly nnd lifted
the lantern so that its rays fell across
the prisoner's face. He thrust his lin
gers into the bosom of Gielow's shin.
"IJrenlhing. but that is alii" he mut
tered. "Ah!" ns his eyes noted the pen
knife and the bloody wrist, "lie wanted
to puncture a vein nnd get it over. ' it
wns too cowardly. Well, you are going
fast enough, my boy. I can do without
your penmanship."
He unlocked the manacles from the
prisoner's wrists nnd ankles, kicked
them aside and left the celt.
CIIAPTF.K XIX.
The next monriv.g after the visit to
Kola Hendricks renojird his ofllee be
fore his offlee boy. The first thing he
did was to look through the Herald for
Ills advertisement.
It was there, word for word as he had
written it. Now he told liimsilf that
there was nothing to do but to hope for"
a reply to it. lie busied himself writ
ing letters until nine o'clock, and then
Dr. Lampkln hurried in.
"Good morning.' he said. "I couldn't
go to work to-day with nil this uncer
tainty on my mind, so I came right here
(o await, developments."
"Glad you came," said Hendricks, cor
dially, as he bent again over his desk.
When he had laid his pen aside Lamp
kin said:
"I hardly slept a wink last night. I
couldn't get that wonderful perform
ance of Kola's out of my head. It Is in
advance of anything I ever heard of.
Hendricks laughed and recounted
what had occurred between him and
his mother on his arrival at home.
"Ah. a trick, after all!" cried the doc
tor, and then his face hardened under
an afterthought, "but you certainly
mentioned the Itible of your own ac
cord." "Thnt's the point that kept nienwake
last night," eonfc-oicd Hendricks, dryly.
For a moment both men were silent,
then Lampkln said:
"There is only one way in which he
could have done it."
"How is that'.'" asked Hendilcks,
deeply interested.
"Kola had the Iliblc toady, and wlwn
he told you to select some article ut
home 1 noticed that he ga.ed steadily
Into your eyes. Through telepathy and
hypnotism combined he must have im
pressed the idea of the book on your
mind."
"Hut he opposed me in that, he "
"That was only for effect. The whole,
thing was most skillfully done, lie
suggested the I'ihlc to you hypnotical
ly, and forced you to deninud thatand
noth'ng else."
"Can that sort of thing be done?"
"In the east it is considered mere
child's play."
Hendricks stared at. his friend for a
moment, then he brought his hand
down on his desk with a resounding
blow.
"I!y Jove! that makes three!" he ejac
ulated. "Three what?" asked the doctor.
"Three similarities between Kola nnd
Count llaiitinni."
"1 don't follow you." said Lampkln,
leaning forward eagerly.
"lly .Ioe! it makes four," cried Hen
dricks, his eyes sparkling. "Listen. As
he lay there last night and grew whiter
and whiter. I remarked a little indenta
tion on each side of his nose, which
must have been made by a pair of pinch
nose glasses. Now, as Kola never, to
n. y knowledge, woie glasM-s, and as
Hantiuni was never seen without them,
that similarity occuried to me. Next
my glance wandered to his long finger
nails, nnd their grevvsomo points, and
Hantiuni popped into my head again.
Then what should enter my mind but
that it was Kola himself who had often
used i lint foreign idiom, contained In
the letter to Miss Huntington. And now
we know that Kola J a hypnotist of rare
ubility, and so is Mnutiniil.'
. An exclamation of wonder escaped
the doctor's, lips. .
"Do you ronlry think Kola and Pan
.tinni are idea ticnrV" . . . ' '
"Oh, .-no," laughed -the detective. "If
1 tlid I should act nt onc'o. Tlfe similari
ties lire t litre, but they may tnean.noth-
Ji.g at nil.'' . " "
At thlsjunot'tite the door opened, nnd
SePgt. Denham entered. His whole
manner, was that of n nfnn whohnd-stfd-tienjy
met wUii great disappointment.
' "Cipod m'ornlng, Capt. Hendricks,'
Bald he, respectfully, and ho made a
careless sign oT greeting tfc Dr. Lamp
kln. "Oh, it's C.ipt. lluulrlek, eh?" said
the detective, Itghllj. "Whnt has come
over the spirit of , our dream, my boy?"
The sergeant sat down awkwardly.
A flush was rising In his cheeks.
"1 have come 10 beg for advice," he
said. "As you arc nut concerned in the
Caruthcrs nlValr, l thought you might
be witling to give me u pointer. Von
see, the chief ti listed the whole biiFiness
to me, and I wiikso confident of the re
liability of certain information 1
had"
"In the shape of a letter from (tie
low'."' broke in Hcndiicks, smiling
broadly.
"Yes," admitted the sergeant, in ns-
tonlsliment. "How did you know?"
"A letter t lint every known expert
declared wns no forgery?"
"Yes."
"Well, go on. I'm listening."
For a moment the young olliccr hung
his head iu cmUirrnssmcnt. then he
pulled himself together und concluded:
"Hut in following the letter up we met
with uotliiug hut failure. lr. Hen
dricks. I am nt theendof my rope, and it
really looks as if I am going to be sc-t
back. Capt. Meltne is furious at me."
"Ah, that would be too batll" said
Hendricks, with n touchof genuine sym
pathy In his voice. "You hnve the in
gredients oT success in your mukc-up,
and, above all, you have enthusiasm,
which, when it Is well curbed, is the
main thing. Your egotism will rub off.
1 see exactly how the land lies, ami I
want to help you. In fnct, 1 will, you
will join me."
"I'll do anything in (Jod's world you
suggest, Mr. Hendricks," said the ser
geant, warmly, a hopeful note coming
into his voice.
"We. I, just let. it be known nt head
quarters that you hnve become asso
ciated with mc in the case, nnd together
we will get. what we can out of it. I
am no fool, and 1 know that for a
young detective to join me will lie no
discredit to him, especially if we win."
"It will be the making of me," said
Denhnin, beaming all over. "Hut I can't
see what can be done."
"I ia n," nnsvep'tl Hendricks, with u
glance askance at Limpkin. "Sergeant,
I have been hard at work on this case
since tiie night the affair was discov
ered." "You have!"
"Yes", and never got nny substantial
clew till you gave it to me. That's why
I am willing to help you now."
"I gave it to you?" said Denham, his
brow contracted.
"The cuff with the bloody message on
it," exclaimed Hendricks. "It was writ-

ten by Glelow, and he is now starving,
if lie i.s not dead, somewhere in confine
nicnt. He is in the jMiwer of a certain
Count Hantiuni you rend it 'Hautnm'
who was a rival of his for the hand of
.Miss Huntington."
Dcnham's astonishment was too great
to admit of expression.
Hendricks passed a copy of the Her
ald over to him. "You sec," he said, in
dicating with his linger a place among
the pergonals. "I am trying to Und the
man whom you sent away without tak
ing down his address. If we knew where
lie picked up that cull we would be on
the road to success."
Denham crossed his logs and folded
his arms awkwardly. Apparently he
had a at niggle with his pride.
"As far us that is concerned," he tld,
sheepishly, "I can help you on that
point. 1 remember now that my as
sistant, who talked with the fellow,
told me that he said he had picked up
the cuff on the new road which has
been cut by .in old colonial house above
Fort Lee, on the Poiisudes. 1 could have
told you then, but 1 was an ass. I was
so full of my own importance that I
simply lied to you."
Hendricks raised his open hand iu
the air. all the lingers apart. He was
gazing into Lumpkin's astonished eyes.
"Five!" he exclaimed. "Kola and
Count Huiitinnl are one and the name.
Glelow Is confined somewhere about the
o!d. house."
The -sergeant was. more than mysti
fied. . ' ... -
Hendricks sprang up,
"jlJsplniu it -al! to him. doctor," lie
wild, pointing to the officer. "I must
formulate a plan of immediate action."
. lie stood at the window his hands
lucked behind him, while hampkin was
explaining the matter to Denham, nnd
just after the doctor had finished, he
vvhirfed into the adjoining room.rout
ing'o th? a&tonjsliul offlee boy-from a
sea near the telephone.
"We must prepare ho a for our (.out
lug." he paid to Henlinm. "If he sees
our turn-out approaching he may give
us the slip. I think I eon II x him b call
ing him up a moment."
"Good Idea," remarked t lie sergeant,
and lie and the doctor drew none the
telephone.
Hendricks rang and in a sready, un
concerned tbne asked for the desired
connection. For a moment he stood
perfectly still, holding the receiver to
his ear, then he laughed.
"Hello, Kola! 1 know your voice. 1
say, my boy, you p'uyed mo fine last
night. 1 never closed my eyes once.
Oh, you needn't laugh. There's no fun
iu that sort of thing.
"AYhat? Yes. lie's upset too. lie was
in my offlee as soon as I was, anxious
to talk It over, lie lost sleep, too, I
think. Hut, 1 say, Kola, ram iu a
dilemma about tills murder case. 1
wont your advice. When 1 tell 3011 what
I half ,vy suspect I think you may ad
vise me to go ahead, if you have no
objections I'll come out with Lump
kin and give you my views and then if
you still hold that 1 ougnt to drop the
mutter I wilt do It.
"What's that? A little louder, please?
"Oh. yes, a thorough convert at lust.
I shall never make sport of your phil
osophy again. Then wc may come out
at once?"
And then, although the doctor was
within reach of his hand, Hendricks
raised his voice as If speaking to some
one in the next room.
"Alt right, doctor, he sins we may
come. VII send down for n c.ib."
Imposing silence with a gesture of
the hand, the detective led them into
the oilier room and closed the door.
"He's completely olT his guard, and
tickled to death over my credulity.
He'll be the worst surprised Individual
that ever looked down the barrel of a
six-shooter. Now, to business. We'll
nil three take the elevated to One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street. I'll tele
phone for 11 carriage to meet us there.
Doctor, make out tin order for some
restoratives. In case (Jlelowls alive wc
will need them."
Dr. Lnmpkin penciled a pet-script ion,
and sent the offlee boy to the nearest
drug store.
"I hope," he remarked to Hendricks,
"that you arc sure of your ground in be
lieving that Kola ami Hantiuni are Iden
tical." "Oh, that's all right." grunted Hen
dricks. "You see, the count didn't
cause Glelow to disappear the very
night I got hack without a reason. He
must have been keeping a close watch
on my movements and knew when I re
turned. My mother tells 111c that Kola
called to ask about me every afternoon
during my absence, and he never let n
day slip during that time without drop
ping in this offloc. Why. every time he
came he saw his letter to me lying un
opened on my desk. Oh, the whole
thing bears the imprint of the Indian,
and I could make it clear to you if I had
time. In his role as psychic adviser to
the rich set he got acquainted with
their vvnys. nnd. being desirous of get
ting rich suddenly, he resorted to the
Italian nnbleuriii ruse. lie felt that I
knew him b-tter than anyone else in
New York, and tried to blow me out of
his path. Failing iu that, he may have
decided to let mc eslst awhile longer,
but when he had stained his hands with
human blond he became slinky and
made another trial at my windpipe."
