Though her husband died practically penniless, Lola lives in luxury. Site arrives at the Mayfair accompanied bv Vincent Rowland, an attorney. At Lola's urgent request. Colt Joins her party She voices the tear that -he will not leave Mayfair alive, adding that her dog and parrot were mysteriously killed. And, tonight, she received a note threatening death before three a m. Accompanied by detectives and one woman operative. Colt goes with Lola to her apartment.

CHAPTER FIVE

N silence we rode up the elevator shaft to the pent-house which Lola Carewe called her home, an aerie perched high in the N* ■ York skyline like the xest of suiin predatory bird. On the twenty ond floor, our way led down a I g heavily cai peted corridor, myM' iious in its dim light, to the foot of an Iron stairs leading up to the penthouse door. Still without talk, wc began the ascent of those steps. Four times the iron staircase turned in its climb to Lola’s dwelling place. At each landing, 1 noticed that Thatcher Colt held back the party while he turned first. Dougherty, puffing and blowing, kept pace bravely with him; Lola followed, with V im out Row land, Harris, and myself bringing up the rear. At the top of the stairs, wt* found the detail from Headquarters. In

brunette, later famous for her help to Colt in the Chinatown Seven Murders case. As Fallon saluted, he reported: "I got the building plans from the office downstairs; they think it’s a burglar scare. We can guard every window and door of the [>enthouse. except the ones that open on a sheer drop to the street, with plenty of men for the terrace and roof—and you can use Miss l.ox

inside."

“Let me see the lay-out.” The chief studied the paper—a printed diagram showing the floor plans of the pent-house. “Very good,” he said, after a moment. “Let’s go!” Waving aside the key Lola offered him, Colt rang the apartment bell. Fallon saluted and nodded toward the other detectives, who scattered toward the places assigned to them. All approaches to the pent house were now under heavy police guard. The door was opened by a short and rather stout Chinaman, with a completely bald head, and a face inexpressibly homely. The yellow man was wearing a house-robe of green silk, loose-flowing, girdled with a rope sash and ornamented /nth a pattern of dragons wrought 'li golden thread. Rich apparel for a isan-servantl He was a bizarre apparition, our first encounter with Lola Carewe’s singular household, f wondered if Colt would not compare him with a pensive uea-cle-phant in repose.

We were in a small reception hall and the front door of the apartment had clanged shut, clotting us in. The air was stiflingly warm. Later wc were to find the whole apartment overheated. Chung took

Bent forwuid against the wind lie personally examined e\ery square foot of tile roof. Descending again, lie traversed all the uica ol the terrace. But he found nothing. Indeed he could feel secure for there was not tin* slightest evidence in the slush of one human footfall. The urea above and around the pent house was empty in the clasp

of the storm.

Shivering and wet, we returned inside, leaving a man on the sleety

the Commissioner said: "Miss Carewe. you are not to be in any room alone at any time. When I cannot lie with you, Miss Lox here must attend you." With a martyr's smile, I/da

agreed.

“Anything else?” she inquired. “I shall wish to make a tour of your apartment, terrace, and roof. I want to see every room. Then I should like to meet all the members of your household.” Before Lola could reply, a young woman in maid's costume hastened down the corridor. "Mother awake, Eunice?” asked Lola quickly. “She retired to her room hours ago. The door is closed.” “And Christine?” “Still out on her New Year party, madame.” "Awaken my mother, at once. Tell her not to worry, but the police are here. They may want to talk with her. Now, Mr. Colt”—as the maid darted off—“we shall begin your tour of my little home. This door leads out to the terrace.” The apartment formed an immense rectangle, two sides of which Opened on the flag-stoned terrace, now deep in slush.

The walls and fireplace inaiic a discreet background for the. furniture which, so Vincent Rowland revealed, had been specially designed hy Lola herself. The foui walls of that large chamber were covered with a heavy linen of natural hue, a light ecru color, the dull uneven weave of which seemed to smother the lamp - light in a warm embrace. Nun's veiling draped the windows, a little deeper than the color of the walls, and matching the upholstery of the chairs and couch. The velvet carpet of raisin brown was also without a sheen, so that the coverings of tho furniture, walls, and floor all held and subdued the illumination. There was an esthetic honesty everywhere apparent, in the squnie linos of unfinished wood, waxed to give a mellow appearance of age. A real fire burned on the brick floor cf the fireplace. Standing hy the fireplace to warm himself, Colt was about to light a cigarette, but suddenly he dropped the still lighted matt h into the fire. Then from the mantel the Commissioner lifted a crumpled white object in his hand. (To^B« Contiiiufd Tomorrow)
