Col* nodded sombrely. “And 1 think I've got the solution!” added the District Attorney in a husky whisper. “Which is ” “Inside job—those death threats —killing of a dog and parrot—all that stuff—get this room-mate woman and give her the works!” “You mean Christine Quires killed Lola’” "Or knows who did!” "Motive. Dougherty?" “The dead girl knew too much— about jewel robberies.” “But how was it done?" “1 don’t know how it was done! But no matter what kind of hocuspocus they used, we can find it— give us time.” proclaimed the District Attorney with an oracular wave of his mighty arm. “YouTl see that the jewel ring is at the bottom of this!” There was a telephone beside the bed. Escaping from Dougherty’s grasp, Colt lifted the receiver and called for his private number at Police Headquarters. “Inspector Flynn, please,” the Commissioner murmured into the transmitter, and then turning his luminous eyes on me. he added: “Tony, get Lieutenant Fallon. Tell him what's happened. Have him check up on his men, to see if any of them heard anything unusual. Then report to me here in five minutes. And Tony ’’ I was at the door. “Find out who is in charge of this apartment house—no employe goes home until released.” "I understand, chief.” As I burned from the death ahamber. I knew full well what was now happening down at Center Street. Once the Commissioner’s message was received, action commenced. Instantly the Bureau of Criminal Information was notified that a woman named Lola Carewe had died suddenly and mysterioua?y; murder was suspected. All the facts Colt gave over the telephone were transmitted to this central bureau and thus made available, if and when necessary, to the entire force Meanwhile, a corps of spebang organized and

of what, only he could have revealed. Standing between the windows, his hands folded at his thighs, was Chung, his great and ugly face a little to one side, the baldness nf his enormous crown gleaming under a suspended lamp. Neither man seemed to notice me as f opened the front door and strode to the head of the iron staircase. There I encountered Lieutenant

Fallon.

"I saw the doctor go in,” was Fallon's greeting, “but the chief sent word that everything was oke and told me not to stir from here until I was relieved. What the deuce is happening in there?” When I enlightened Fallon, the look of demoralized astonishment on that honest Irish face was beyond all art. “By gosh! It couldn’t have been done by anybody getting icito the room,” he blurted. "Nobody could get by me or theae boys of mine, and there’* no such thing as secret doorways in this joint. There is something awful funny about all this. Mr. Abbot! Tell fhe chief 111 report back to him in five min-

utes.”

Down the iron staircase 1 raced, and through the dim corridor to the lift, thence down to the deserted lobby. 1 found that Lowell Coartleigh. which was actually the name of the sleepy elevator operator, was in sole charge of the premises until morning. Here was a chance to do a little sleuthing on my own ac-

count.

“Did you see Miss Quires go out tonight?” I asked, after relaying Colt’s orders to him. “No, I come on at twelve o’clock —but I seen her come in!” “A'ou saw what?” The shocking impact of the elevator boy’s unexpected announcement nearly made me gasp the words. Christine Quires had come home! When? Where was she now? A hundred questions crowded to my tongue, clamoring for an answer. But 1 had to pretend only a casual interest in this astounding information. “You are positive yon saw Miss Quires come in?” I repeated. “Yeah—I saw her come in.” “About what time?” “Around fifteen minutes after twelve—soon alter the New Year whistles blew.” *—•*

thing?”

“No, I'm only a policeman,” 1 told him, with such dignity as 1 could muster. He gave me a look and said: "Yeah? And I’m a congressman.’' “Take me upstairs again,” 1 tolc him after several more questions “Maybe the Police Commissioner will want to talk to you in a littlf

while.”

“All right, I’ll be glad to talk tc him," he emphasized. Chung admitted me with a decorous bow. During my absence the spacious living-room had been taken over as a chamber of inquisiticn. As I hac, expected, Thatcher Colt was al ready started on his quest for the truth about the death of Lola Carewe. Doctor Baldwin had been ex iled to an ignoble solitude in the maid's room. The Police Commissioner and the District Attorney had closed off the living-room ready for the examination of witnesses, and having admitted me Chung was sent to request the immediate presence of Mrs. Carewe. Meanwhile, Colt and Dougherty were listening to an indignant report from Lieutenant Fallon. “Mr. Commissioner,” the detective recited, “my men have been strictly on the job every minute of the time. The only person whe entered this apartment was Doctor Baldwin.” "Have you checked ” Here I burst in excitedly to explain what I had learned. Fallon stared at me as if I had told him a ghost story. Dougherty heaved an incredulous groan. “But we have searched this place, room by room,” said Colt. “1 have looked into closets, I have opened trunks and even peered into cedar

chests.”

"I don’t believe you can put too much reliance on what an elevator boy says,” Dougherty demurred. "Here's an apartment full of people. None of them -aw Christine—and you don’t find trap doors or secret corridors in modern New York apartment houses.” He peered at Colt as one who lays down an unanswerable argument. “She might have come — and gone, before we ever reached here!” reasoned Colt aloud. “I don’t quite see ” began Dougherty, but the Commissioner turned back abruptly to me: “Could the elevator boy describe Christine's escort?” "The usual thing. Tall, evening clothes—would fit the description of two million men in New York City tonight." Colt’s eyes were lustrous with the challenge of this extraordinary affair as he turned back to the de-

tective.

“Now, Fallon, get on the job again. Keep your men at the doors, just as before. In spite of what has happened, we can’t he sure the danger is over for Mrs. Carewe to-

night.”

“Okay, chief." As Fallon turned to go, there came a violent interruption. The door to Lola's boudoir was flung noisily open. Vincent Rowland, stiffly erect in all his five feet two inches, strod* imperiously into the room. Flight was in the millionaire’s eyes. At sight of the old man, Colt rested fi detaining hand on Fallon’s arm.
