disappaintment, find Sir Maline Gorde at home on either of his afternoon visitations. The second time he returned to his taxicab and consulted his voluminous note-book. The driver studied his face curiously; the somewhat flowing frock coat, brown shoes, and squat hat which the eminent scientist wore were really more arresting for their uniqueness than their good style. "Coronation Johnny," the driver decided.-- , . "Kutscher, go now to the number 05 of Devonshire Street."

"Right you are," sir," the man answered. : The cab drew up in a minute or two at the nursing home. "You will wait." the professor said briefly, as he heavily got down. "Yes, Sister Henderson was at home." He followed the maid into the sitting-room. The arrangement of tills amazed him. "A clinic and such a room!" he marveled aloud. ' "

"A wonderful nation, the English," he went on musingly. "In the home land a nursing home

is a nursing home. The rooms are not beautiful; they are bare, but they are appropriate to their purpose. Here they are of a wealth and artistic splendor which is as wasteful as it is becoming." . He rose to greet the sister. "I am Professor Steinius of Dresden," he said, smiling cheerfully down on the little woman, " and I do myself the very great honor of calling thus upon you to view a first-class nursing home. Sister Henderson blushed. with delight. It was a great compliment to have the first specialist of his day allude to her home as "first-class," "Would you care to go over the place now, professor?" she asked.

The professor seated himself with decision. "You have a proverb of worth," he said genially, "which goes in this way: 'After breakfast run a mile; after dinner rest a while.' Gnadige frau, it is always after dinner with me. We will go presently. I come now from a visit paid to Sir. Maline Gorde. He brings to you many patients; is it not so?" "This home is really run by Sir Maline.' "So I hear much of this most marvelous case of the man who i3 lost." Sister Henderson's face grew serious. "It is so sad," she said. "It teems somehow so incredible that

Captain Fane is really hopelessly lost. J Every morning I look into the paper,

expecting, praying, that I may see tne news of his discovery." "Prayer is . good," Steinius said, "but research is -even better, and sometimes investigation is the best of all. .-..7 "How long was it after the operation that this man lost his memory?" "About four days." Steinius "looked almost surprised, if such a violent emotion could be attributed to his almost bovine features. "So and he disappeared then; at ence?" i "No, he did not disappear until two days after the discovery of the loss, of his memory.'' ' '

"Ach, yes; now it comes back, the narrative of my worthy, colleague. The patient knew no one is it not so?".. ' . ; "Except his wife for one minute." "Ach, ja!' I grow confused in ! my old age. ; Yes, . except? his wife, and you were with him?" " "Always, of course, and Sir Maline, too." - - ' "Of course yes and then, the day after he disappears, having known no one but his wife. , Tragic im hochstein grad." The professor gazed absently before him.

"Before tea I walk," he said with

his benevolent smile. Sister Henderson rose laughingly and showed the eminent professor over the house. When he had consumed a hearty tea she watched him drive away in the taxicab. ' "Such a charming, simple old man," she said to the sister. ' "It's strange, isn't It, how very innocent and childlike those wonderfully clever people are in every-day life?"

There was confusion in Sir Maline's usually well-ordered household. "Ali," he said, "I tell you that the picture was here; I kept it always in the locked drawer."

Ali opened his hands deprecatingly. "No ope hath the key save thou thyself," he said in Tamil. Gorde answered Jn the same tongue. "It is gone. Think tell me have any of the followers been here within late time?" "Nay, for of a surety I had known." "But if thou hadst been absent? Go ask the servants if any have seen a Brahman come." Noiselessly All departed. In vain Gorde sought for the portrait of Rachel, signed with her name and his. He had been a fool to keep it, he knew well, but he had thought it securely hidden; he had kept the key always with him and had opened the drawer in secrecy when alone. Yet it had gone.

; "Curse it!" he said angrily; "If that young fool Shubrat should have stolen it, It would go ill with me. But how could he even guess?" Ali appeared in the doorway. 'Thil-eep, the footman, telleth of a young man who, being refused entrance, was yet found within the hall.

He fled as the servant appeared." "And he was of our creed?" "The fellow saith he was of dark blood, Rahamnnd." With an impatient curse Gorde slammed the drawer, then, without speaking, walked out of the house and entered his waiting car. As soon as' the car bad vanished from sight Ali sped hastily back to the room. From an upper flight of stairs Shubrat appeared. He ran eagerly toward A-li. "Hast got it, O Ali?" he inquired breathlessly. . In answer Ali drew' from the folds of . his voluminous girdle the portrait of Rachel. With a low cry of mingled greed and anger the young Brahman seized the picture. , r "I will pay thee, Ramanund, for all thy generosity," he cried viciously. His high, narrow forehead wrinkled above his handsome eyes, his mouth snarled; he became in a moment an

epitome of baffled hatred and revenge. Gorde had done ill when, during one of his visits to Janappur, he had had Shubrat's brother whipped for stealing. To be continued
