CHAPTER XXIX. Continued.
We crowded out of the elevator at
the fourth floor, and found ourselves
in a rather theatrical hallway of dra
peries and armor. It was very quiet;
we stood uncertainly after the car
had gone, and looked at the two
or three doors in sight. They were
heavy, covered with metal, and sound
proof. From somewhere above came
the metallic accuracy of a piano
piano, and through the open window
we could hear or feel the throb of
the Cannonball's engine.
"Well, Sherlock." McKnight said,
"what's the next move in the
'fame? It is our jump, or theirs. You
through! us here."
None of us knew just what to do
next. No sound of conversation pene
trated the heavy doors. We waited
uneasily for some minutes, and Hotch
kiss looked at his watch. Then he
put it to his ear.
"Good gracious!" he exclaimed, his
bead cocked on one side, "I believe it
las stopped. I'm afraid we are late."
We were late. My watch and Hotch
ldss' agreed at nine o'clock, and, with
tho discovery that our man might
have come and gone, our zest in the
adventure began to flag. McKnight
motioned us away from the door and
rang the bell. There was no response,

I had seen it when he did. The
door was ajar about an inch, and a
narrow wedge of rose-colored light
showed beyond. Then, with both men
at my heels, I stepped into the priv
ate corridor of the apartment and
looked around. It was a square re
ception hall, with hats, and a couple
of chairs. A lantern of rose-colored
glass and a desk light over a writing
table across made the room bright aud
cheerful. It was emntv.

made us feel the weakness of our po
sition. Some such instinct made Mc
Knight suggest division.
"We look like an invading army,"
he said. "If she's here alone, we w:!t

could take a look around and"
"What was that? Didn't you hear
something?"

was not repeated. We went awkward

rected, "and if Sullivan comes, or
anybody that answers his description,
grab him without ceremony and ask
him questions afterwards."
The apartment, save in the hallway,
was unlighted. By one of those freaks
of arrangement possible only in the
modern flat, I found the kitchen first,
and was struck a smart and unex
pected blow by a swinging door. I
carried a handful of matches, and by
the time I had passed through a but
ler's pantry and a refrigerator room I
was completely lost in the darkness.
Until then the situation had been
merely uncomfortable; suddenly it be
came grisly. From somewhere near
came a long-sustained groan, followed
almost instantly by the crash of some
thing glass or china on the floor.
I struck a fresh match, and found
myself in a narrow rear hallway. He
hind me was the door by which I must
have come; with a keen desire to get
back to the place I had started from,
I opened the door and attempted to
cross the room. I thought I had kept
my sense of direction, but I crashed
without warning Into what, from the
resulting jangle, was the dining table.
probably laid for dinner. I cursed my
stupidity in getting into such a sit
uation, and I cursed my nerves for
making my hand shake when I tried
to strike a match. The groan had not
been repeated.
I braced myself against the table
and struck the match sharply against
the sole of my shoe. It flickered
faintly and went out And then, with
out the slightest warning, another dish
went off the table. It fell with a
thousand splinterlngs; the 'very air
seemed broken into crashing waves
of sound. I stood still, braced against
the table, holding the red end of the
dying match, and listened. I had not
long to wait; the groan came again,
and I recognized It, the cry of a dog
in straits. I breathed again.
"Come, old fellow," I said. "Come
on, old man. Let's have a look at
you."
I could hear the thud of his tail on
the floor, but he did not move. He
only whimpered. There is something
companionable in the presence of a
dog, and I fancied this dog in trouble.
Slowly I began to work my way
around the table toward him.
"Good boy," I said, as he whimpered.
"We'll find the light, which ought to
be somewhere or other around here,
and then "
I stumbled over something, and 1
drew back my foot almost instantly.
"Did I step on you, old man?" I ex
claimed, and bent to pat him. I re

hearing the dog pad softly toward
me around the table. I recall even
that I had put the matches down and
could not find them. Then, with a
bursting horror of the room and its
contents, of the gibbering dark
around me, I turned and made for the
door by which I had entered.
I could not find It. I felt along the
endless wainscoting, past miles of
wall. The dog was beside me. I think,
but he was part and parcel now, to
my excited mind, with the Thing un
der the table. And when, after aeons
of search, I found a knob and stum
bled into the reception hall, I was as
nearly is a panic as any man could
be.
I was myself again in a second, and
by the light from the hall I led the
way back to the tragedy I had stum
bled on. Bronson still sat at the table,
his elbows propped on it, his cigarette
still lighted, burning a bole in the
cloth. Partly under the table lay
Mrs. Conway, face down. The dog
stood over her and wagged bis tall.
McKnight pointed silently- to a large
copper ash tray, filled with ashes and
charred bits of paper.
"The notes, probably," he said rue
fully. "He got them after all, and
burned them before her. It was more
than she could stand. Stabbed him
first and then herself."
Hotchkiss got up and took off bis
hat. "They are dead," he announced
solemnly, and took his note-book out
of his hatband.
McKnight and I did the only thing
we could think of drove Hotchkiss
and the dog out of the room, and
closed and locked the door. "It's a
matter for the police." McKnight as
serted. "I suppose you've got an offi
cer tied to you somewhere, Lawrence?
You usually have."
We left Hotchkiss in charge and
went downstairs. It was McKnight
who first saw Johnson, leaning against
a park railing across the street, and
called him over. We told him in a few
words what we had found, and he
grinned at me cheerfully.
"After awhile, in a few weeks or
months, Mr. Blakeley," he said, "when
you get tired of monkeying around
with the blood-stain and finger-print
specialist upstairs, you come to me.
I've had that fellow you want under
surveillance for ten days!"
CHAPTER XXX.
Finer Details.
At ten minutes before two the fol
lowing day. Monday, I arrived at my
office. I had spent the morning put
ing my affairs in shape, and in a trip
to the stable. The afternoon would
see me either a free man or a pris
oner for .n indefinite length of time,
and, in' spite of Johnson's promise to
p- 5uce Sullivan. I was more prepared
lor the latter than the former.
Lllobs was watching for me outside
the door, and It was clear that he was
in a state of excitement bordering on
delirium. He did nothing, however,
save to tip me a wink that meant "As
man to man, I'm for you." I was too
much engrossed either to reprove him
or to return the courtesy, but I heard
him follow me down the hall to the
small room where we kept outgrown
law books, typewriter supplies and, in
cidentally, our wraps. I was wonder
ing vaguely if I would ever hang my
hat on its nail again, when the door
closed behind me. It shut firmly, with
out any particular amount of sound,
and I was left in the dark. I groped
m- way to it. irritably, to find it
locked on the outside. I shook it fran
tically, and was rewarded by a sibilant
whisper through the keyhole.
"Keep quiet," Blobs was saying
htfskily. "You're in deadly peril. The
police are waiting in your office, three
of 'em. I'm goin to lock the whole
bunch in and throw the key out of the
window."
"Come back here, you imp of Sa
tan!" I called furiously, but I could
hear him speeding down the corridor,
and the slam of the outer office door
by which he always announced his
presence. And so I stood there in the
ridiculous cupboard, hot with the heat !
of a steaming September day. musty
with the smell of old leather bindings.
littered with broken overshoes and
handleless umbrellas. I was apoplec
tic with rage one minute, and choked
with laughter the next. It seemed an
hour before Blobs came back.
He came without haste, strutting
with new dignity, and passed outside
my prison door.
"Well. I guess that will hold them
for a while," he remarked comfort
ably,, and proceeded to turn the key.
"I've got 'em fastened up like sardines
in a can!" he explained, working with
the lock. "Gee whiz! you'd ought to
hear 'em!" When he got his breath
after the shaking I gave him, he be
gan to sputter. "How'd I know?" he
demanded sulkily. "You nearly broke
your neck gettln' away the other time.
And I haven't got the old key. It's
lost."
"Where's it lost?" I demanded, with
another gesture toward his coat col
lar. "Down the elevator shaft" There
was a gleam of indignant satisfaction
through his tears of rage and humilia
tion. And so, while he hunted the key in
the debris at the bottom of the shaft.
I quieted his prisoners with the as
surance that the lock had slipped, and
that they would be free as lords as
soon as we could find the janitor with
a pass-key. Stuart went down finally
and discovered Blobs, with the key in
his pocket telling the engineer how
he had tried to save me from arrest
and failed. When Stuart came up h
was almost cheerful, but Blobs did nut
appear again that day.
Simultaneous with the finding nl
the key came Hotchkiss, and we went
in together. I shook hands with two
men who, with Hotchkiss, made a not

"Yes. Allegheny county has as

spokesman. The other, shorter and
rotund, kept an amiable silence. "We
hope you will see the wisdom of waiv

save time."
"I'll come, of course," I agreed.
"The sooner the better. But I want
you to give me an hour here, gentle
men. I think we can interest you.

The lean man took a cigar; the ro
tund man took three, putting two in
his pocket.
"How about the catch of that door?"
he Inquired Jovially. "Any danger of
it going off again?" Really, consider
ing the circumstances, they were re
markably cheerful. Hotchkiss, how
ever, was not He paced the floor un
easily, his hands under his coat-tails.
The arrival of McKnight created a di
version; he carried a long package
and a cerkscrew, and shook hands
with the police and opened the bottle
with a single gesture.
"I always want something te cheer
on these occasions," he said. "Where's
the water, Blakeley? Everybody
ready?" Then in French he toasted
the two detectives.
"To your eternal discomfltare," he
sail, bowlag ceremoniously. "May
you go home and never come back!
If you take Monsieur Blakeley with
you, I hope you choke."
The lean man nodded gravely.
"Prosit." he said. But the fat one
leaned back and laughed consumedly.
Hotchkiss finished a mental synop
sis of his position, and put down his
glass. "Gentlemen," he said pompous
ly, "within five minutes the man you
want will be here, a murderer caught
in a net of evidence so fine that a
mosquito could not get through."
The detectives glanced at each oth
er solemnly. Had they not in their
possession a sealskin bag containing
a wallet and a bit of gold chain, which
by putting the crime on me, would
leave a gap big enough for Sullivan
himself to crawl through?
"Why don't you say your little
speech before Johnson brings the oth
er man, Lawrence?" McKnight In
quired. "They won't believe you, but
it will help them to understand what
is coming."
"You understand. 01" course," the
lean man put in gravely, "that what
you sav may be used against you."
"I'll take the risk," I answered im
patiently. It took some time to tell the story
cf my worse than useless trip to Pitts
burg, and its sequel. They listened
gravely, without interruption.
"Mr. Hotchkiss here," I finished,
"believes that the man Sullivan, whom
we are momentarily expecting, com
mitted the crime. Mr. McKnight is
inclined to implicate Mrs. Conway,
who stabbed Bronson and then her
self last night As for myself, I am
open to conviction."
"I hope not," said the stout detec-
live quizzically. And then Alison was
announced. My impulse to go out
aud meet her was forestalled by the
detectives, who rose when I did. Mc
Knight, therefore, brought her in, and
I met her at the door.
"I have put you to a great deal of
trouble." I said contritely, when I saw
her glance around the room. "I wish
I bad not "
"It Is only right that I should come."
she replied, looking up at me. "I am

If yon allow your young cattle to

A good heifer with her first calf at a

Pumpkins are one of the best winter
green feeds for almost all .kinds of
stock, especially relished by dairy
cows, and they are excellent to mix
with dairy feed for the production of
milk, tho cows relishing them greatly.
It Is not to be supposed that every
heifer will make a first-class cow, but
tho manner in which she Is fed and
cared for from birth will have some
thing to do with deciding the question.
The feeding of dairy cows for best
results is more complicated, and in
volves more thought than most per
sons realize; merely throwing a cow
an abundance of food is not all.
It is impossible to tell the profitable
cows from the unprofitable animals
unless you test your milk. The quan
tity of milk is not enough. The but
ter fat must be considered.
It is very Important that when the
calves are first placed in the feed lot
they should be given the most palat

It Is estimated that barn-yard ma

that of commercial fertilizers, there
fore the careful saving of farm ma
nures and their judicial application to
the soil are vital factors in farming
operations, and as essential to con
tinued success as plowing the land or
planting the crop.
The price of dairy products in the
winter is so much higher than in sum
mer that only a small extra effort as
to care and judicious feeding may re
sult in a considerable increase in the
profits from the entire herd at this
season.
The Intelligent flock-masters are
fast coming to recognize the fact that
the man who makes the most of his
opportunities In handling a farm flock
must become a breeder and feeder 'of
high-class mutton, more especially

The farmer who is breeding a flock
