THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, DEC. 28, 1916

THE EAR IN THE WALL Perhaps an hour later our laboratory door was flung open suddenly, ind both Kennedy and I leaped to our feet There was Inez Mendoza, alone, pale ind agitated. "Tell me, Professor Kennedy," she irled, her hands clasppd before her In frantic appeal, "tell me It Isn't true Is It? He -wasn't there no no no! She would have fainted If Craig had not sprung forward and caught, her tn time to place her in our only easyrhsir." "Walter," he raid, "quick that bottle of aromatic spirits of ammonia ver there the second from the left." I handed it to him, and threw open the window to allow the fresh air to Mow in. As I did so one of the papers Kennedy had been studying blew off the table, and, as luck would have it, fell almost before her. She saw It, ind in her hypersensitive condition rocoenized it instantly. "Oh that anonymous letter!" she tried. "Tell me you do not think that the friend of my father's that It warned me to beware of was " She did not finish the sentence. She Did net need to do so. "Please. Senorlta," pleaded and loothed Kennedy, "try to be calm. What has happened? Tell me. What is it?"- . The ammonia and the fresh air teemed to have done their work, for she managed to brace herself, gripping the arms of the chair tightly and looking up searchingly into Craig's face. "It's about Chester," she managed to gasp; then seemed unable to go on. It was the first time I had ever heard her use Lockwood's first name, and I knew that something had stirred ber emotions more deeply than at any time since the death of her father. 'Tes," prompted Kennedy. "Go on." "I have heard that you found footprints, shoe-prints, in the dust tn the Museum after the dagger was stolen," she said, speaking rapidly, suppressing her feeling heroically. "Since then you have been collecting prints of shoes and I've heard that the shoo prints that were found are those of of Mr. Lockwood. Oh, Professor Kennedy, it cannot be there must be come mistake." For a moment Kennedy did not say anything. He was evidently seeking some way in which to lead up to the revelation of the truth without too much shock. "You remember that time in the tea room when wo were sitting with Senora de Moche?" he asked finally. "Yes." she said shortly, as though the very recollection were disagreeable to her. Kennedy, however, had a disagreeable task, and he felt that it must be r"rf.-trm?d in the kindest manner. "You remember then that she said till? had one thing more to say. that If was about Mr. Whitney and Mr. Lcrkwnod." She was about to interrupt, but he hurried on, giving .her no chance. to.do o. "She asked you to think it over. Suppose they did not have the dagger, nho paid. Then were their chances pf finding the treasure any better than eny one else had? And if they did bave it, she asked what that meant It is a dilemma, my dear Senorlta, which you must meet some time. Why not meet It now?" Her face was set. "You will remember, also, Professor Kennedy." the said, with a great effort controlting her voice, "that I said that Mr. Lockwood was not there to defend

himself and I would not have him attacked by innuendo. I meant It to the Senora I mean it to you!" She had also meant it to defy him; but, as she proceeded her voice, broke, and before she knew It her nature had triumphed, and she was alternately sobbing and pleading. For a minute or two Kennedy let her give vent to her emotions. "It cannot be. It cannot be," she sobbed over and over. "He could not have been there. He could not 'have done it." It was a terrible thing to have to

disillusion her, but it was something now that had to be done. Kennedy had not sought to do so. He had postponed It in the hope of finding some other way. But now the thing was forced upon him. "Who told you?" he asked Anally. "I was trying to read, to keep my mind occupied, as you asked me, when Juanita told me that there was some one in the living room who wanted to see me a man. I thought it was either you or Mr. Jameson. But It was Professor Norton " - To be continued
