And Eunice also adds that Dr. Baldwin told Lola his life would he ruined if Lola told what she knew. Guy Everett arrives. He claims he left Christine at the elevator at 12:15. and then went for a ride on the Motor Parkway, alone, returning home after three. A raid with Everett's phone number is found among the maid's effects. She confesses that he paid her to report the happenings in the apartment. Mr«. ( arewe and Miss Lux. Cult's operative, come upon t hristme’s body in Lola's room. Colt wonders where the body was hidden as it is soaking wet. Dr. Baldwin again reports death due to heart failure.

"You will be most carefully guarded,” Colt promised. "And what do you want me to
do to help you?”
“Two things. Answer all my questions now—all that you can—”
“Yes. sir!”
"And obey all my inatructiona.” "I will obey—truly, Mr. Colt.” “Y’ou are not to eat or drink anything prepared in this house. Miss Lox will bring you in anything that

of the night.”
"1 am glad. She is very good to

“At noon tomorrow she will be relieved by another woman detective. Would you like a nurse, too?” “No—I'm all right, thanks.” “You are to have no visitors — you must deny yourself to every-
one ”
"I will! I will!” “I am certain. Mrs. Carewe," resumed the Commissioner soothingly, as he wiped his right hand with a handkerchief, “that you can and will help us by answering my questions—I won't take long It is almost certain that the deaths of these two women and the threats made against Lola’s life are related crimes. Not only because of justice, but for your own safety, you can steel yourself and help me by answering my questions — the more we know, the better able we are to protect you.” After a moment Mrs. Carewe whispered that she was ready “The full name of Lola’s friend.” “Christine Margaret Quires.” "Her age?” “Twenty-two.” "Where is her home?” “In Rochester.” "With whom did she live there”' “With her married brother, Edgar Quires. She is an orphan.” “The address?” "It is on Onondaga Avenue—I
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN AT this stage of the inquiry it did look to me as if the mystery ^ were unsolvable. Here was a body drenched to the skin. Rigor mortis had set in — Christine had been dead for hours; she had been dead while Lola was still alive. What could have happened? Thatrher Cok confronted Doctor Multooler with a sombre air. “Well, doctor — this also looks like heart trouble?” Multooler rubbed the red front of his nose with a pudgy forefinger. “As a matter of fact. Mr. Colt, it would look like heart trouble — shows all the symptoms, just like the other one did -except for one
thing!”
"What's that ?" barked Dougherty.
"1 will do my best," promised the
big physician earnestly.
A few minutes later, two men in white ceatg carried away all that remained of Lola Carewe and Christine Quires, wrapped naked in sheets Colt turned again to Flynn. "Will you get hold of Adams and Thnnip' n, and have them bring their me hmes up here?” he asked
suddenly.
Flynn closed one eye in great excitement. “Machine*—are you going to try that, chief?” he gasped. "Try what?” barked Dougherty. But Klynti was already on the telephone, and Colt was at the threshed of Lol a 8 rococo bedroom, where Doctor Baldwin and Detective Dorothy Lox had i>een attending the stricken mother. “If Mrs. Carewe is conscious, 1 shall have to speak to her now,” announced Colt grimly. Baldwin seemed about to protest. Then he shrugged his shoulders
helplessly.
"Yes that is all right,” he assented, and without another word the doctor left the apartment, shadowed as before, Note paper in hand, I sat beside the bed in Lola's room as Colt began again to question the pale and haggard Mrs. Carewe, who lay there staring with miserable eyes blindly up at the
ceiling.
“Now, Mrs. Carewe.” Colt began quietly, laying his hand kindly on the old lady’s head, "tell me in a few words what happened ju*t now in your room?” The old woman struggled upward and rested her weight on her elbow. "It waa awful!” she rumbled,
