Time press-d. however, and descending th" stairs Ser't. Harry easily persuaded Kedce to unlock th door of Henry CJriswold'.s temporarily empty apartment for him. After dismis.-in the Janitor he proceeded to forte the drawers of the d sk neatly and with dirpatch but the document.? and ledeera with which it was li!b-d told him nothln?, and in spit" of himself "the riid form and fixed, cjlasy ptar of the melancholy, moth-eaten old hound in the corner seemed boring into his consciousness reproachfully a.? thouch even in death tho beat would cruard and defend his master's posses.ajot'S. Leaving the desk at last ho rro?"d and examined the stuffed animal closely. It wa.?. as the professor had said, redolent of turpentine and tho musty. jpicy odor of taxidermy of other days. He was tin.erint; one of the lonsr. still filkj' ears when the door suddenly burst open with such force that it banjred against the wall and flrlswold strode in. stopping short In speechle-1 astonishment and affront when ho beheld the Intruder. Then his glance traveled to the ritb-d desk and found hi? voice In a strincr f oaths which left him panting and mottled of countenance. ".lust a moment." Mr. Oriswold." Harry remarked smoothly. "Your apartment was entered and your desk opened by official authority and I think your Interview at headquarters with the chief during the last hour must have told you that even you cannot combat it. Who owns this house next door?" He shot the question so unexpectedly at the angry man that for a minute Oriswold blinked. Then he replied with a gulp: "The Gotham Realty Company." "Who i the president of it?" "I am. and I refuse t reply to any further question!" "Hut Mr?. Vnne has stated to witnesses whom we can produce that you and she knew each other before she ever came here." Harry declared. "Then ?he lied!" Oriswold cried, his temper rising again "I never laid eyes on the woman!" "Mr. OriswoM'." Harry asked

quickly. "What was that dogs)

Hut Harry seemed not to have heard tho furiously uttered request. He still stood stroking the stiffened, drooping ear of tho beast and remarked : "He looks quite lifelike. Mr. Oriswold. with that dejected expression. I should not have called iiim Marcu.? but Mo pus!" A.? tho name fell from the detects e n lip? the change in the man before him wa.? instantaneous and hideous beyond all description. HI?

"Mopus!" It was a mer breath that Issued from between the thin, dry lips. "Mopus! She called him that!" "Fh? who." Harry'.! voica rang

through the room and then Indeed i the mummy came to life. A harsh choking cry replied to , him and Henrv Or!f?wold ptarrercrt

Wuzzy with i smil that made her whiskers jiggl". "Hut what I am going to My is thix I have to go out for a little while, and " "Dear me! It seems to mo you an1 like a burning match always going out!" complained Fncle Wisrgily. "There now! I told you not to get excited." said th" mukrat lady. "I am only going across the street to call on Mrs. Wibblewobble, tho duck lady. If anything happens, or you want me before I get back, call me on the telephone." "Oh, yes!" exclaimed the bunny.

"I forgot about the telephone. I can

talk to you with that." and he looked at the shiny telephone on the table. "All right. Nurse Jane. Toddle off. I'll call you over the wire if anything happens. Ta-ta!" "Ta-ta!" echoed Nurse Jane, and over to Mrs. Wibblowobble's she went to pay a little visit. The duck lady also has a telephone. "Well, not wanting to stay home alone, I think I shall go and look for an adventure," spoke Uncle Wiggily to himself, as he took his pink, silk nose off the piano. Oh. what am I thinking of? I mean h took his hat off the rack and started out. Hut adventures were very scarce that day, and look as he did. Uncle Wiggily could find none. He even turned over flat stones, and rolled logs down hill, thinking he might find something under them. Hut there was nothing. "Well, it's getting cold, and it may snow. I think I'll go back to my hollow stump bungalow," thought the bunny. "Nurse Jane will bo fbere to get me a good dinner." Hack home hopped Mr. Longears. but when he reached his bungalow the muskrat lady had not yet returned. "I guess I'll call her on the telephone and ask her when she is coming to get lunch," said Undo Wiggily to himself. He goon had called the duck lady's house on the wire. "I'd like to speak to Nurse Jane, if you please. Mrs. Wibblewobble." said the bunny gentleman politely. "Hold the line. I'll get her for you," said tho duck lady. "Oh. Nurse Jane!" called Uncle WIggily into the telephone, us the muskrat lady said "hello," and asked what wa.? wanted. "Oh, Nurse Jane, what about something to eat?" "That's just what I was going to ask!" growled a harsh voice h.-hind Uncle "Wiggily, and the bunny rabbit, turning, saw the Woozie Wolf. "That's what I want to know what about something to tat?" went on
