He led the way to the fireplace, went down on hla knees and passed his hands over the bricks. The third one he touched, shook. He tapped It without a doubt It was hollow. With his penknife he loosened the mortar a little and drew It out easily. The back was open. Inside was the black box. "Craig's secret at last!" French muttered, hoarsely. "Bring it to the light, quick!" They were unemotional men, but the moment was supreme. The key to the mystery of these tragical weeks was there In their hands! Their eyes almost devoured those few hastily scrawled words burled with so much care: See Page 62, January Number, American Medical Journal, 1905. They looked at one another. They repeated vaguely this most conimon- place of messages. As the final result of their strenuous enterprise, these cryptic words seemed pitifully Inade quate. Quest's face darkened. He crumpled the paper In his fingers. "There must be some meaning In this," he muttered. "It can't be alto gether a fool's game we're on. Walt." He moved towards a table which usually stood against the wall, but which harj obviously been dragged out recently Into the middle of the room. It was covered with bound ! Volumes.

H was attacked by wild anlmala whilst alona In a South American jungle, and torn to pieces. Thara waa a queer little ailenc among the company. No one aeemed Inclined for apeech. They looked at one another In dumb, wondering hor ror. Then Quest drew a penknife from hla pocket and with a turn of bla wrist forced the lock of the diary. They all watched him with fascinated eye. It was something to escape from their thoughta. Thay leaned over as he spread the book out be fore him. Those first two sentences were almost In the nature of a dedica tion: For ten yeara I have protected my matter, Prof. Edgar Ashlelgh, at the , cost of my peace of mind, my happi ness, my reputation. This book, even though It be too lata to help me, shall clear my reputation. Quest closed the volume. "French." he decided, "we must And the professor. Will you have your men search the house and grounds Im mediately?" The Inspector left the room like a dazed man. They could hear him giv ing orders outside. "The next page," Lenora begged. "Just one page more!" Quest hesitated for a moment. Then he turned It over. All three read again: Ten yeara of horror, struggling all the while to keep him from that other aelf, that thing of bestiality, to keep hla horrible secret from the world, to cover up his crimes, even though their shadow should rest upon me. Now Sanford Quest has come. Will this mean discovery? "Another page," Quest said. "Don't you see where It is leading us? We have the truth here. Walt!" He strode hastily to the door. French and one of the plain-clothes men were : descending the stairs. "Well?" Quest asked, breathlessly.' "The professor is not In the house," j French reported. "We are going to : search the grounds." Quest returned to the library. : Lenora clung to his arm. The diary ' lay still upon the table. ' Quest opened the volume slowly. ' Again they all read together: i The evil nature la growing stronger every day. He la developing a sort of ferocious cunning to help him in ' his crimes.

Tho lutler had crept a yard or so ahead. hi gun ruined to hla shoulder, hla : eyes fixed upon lomo poialhlo object ! of pursuit. There wa a sudden I change In the. professor. They saw I him seize his gun by tho barrel and j whirl It above his head. He scemod suddenly to lose his whole Identity. He crouched on bis haunches, almost like an animal, and sprang at tho oth-. j er's throat. They could almost hoar the snarl from hla Hps as the two men went down togethur Into the un- dergrowth. The picture faded away. "Doctor Merrill!" Lenora faltered. "Then It was not wild beasts which killed him." Almost Immediately figures again appeared In the mirror. There was a Bmall pasHago which seemed to lend from tho hack entrance of a houso; the professor, with a black mantle, Craig followed him, pleading, expostu lating, They saw the conservatory for a minute, and then blndkness. The professor waa leaning against a mar ble basin. There was nothing to bo seen of him but his eye and hand. They saw him listen for a moment or two In cold, unresponsive silence,' then stretch out his hand and puBh Craig away. The picture glowed and faded and glowed again. Then they saw through the gloom the figure of a woman approach, a diamond neck lace around her neck. They saw the hands steal out and encircle her throat and then more darkness,, si- lence obscurity. The mirror waa empty once more. "Mrs. Rhelnholdt' Jewel!" Lenora cried. "What next? Oh! my Ood, what next?" Their eyes ached with tho strain, but there waa not one of them who could even glance away from the mir ror. It wag Quest's study which slow ly appeared then. Tho Salvation Army girl waa there, talking to the professor. They saw him leave her, they aaw him look back from tha door, a strange, evil glance. Then the secretary entered and spoke to her. Once more the door opened. The hands wero there, stretching and reaching, a paper-weight gripped In the right-hand fingers. They saw It raised above the secretary's head, they aaw the other hand take the girl by the throat and push her towards the table. A wild scream broke from Lenora' Hpa.

"What is he go ing to do?" Quest swung around, but he was too lute. Tho professor had dug the pen into his arm. Ha sat In his chair and laughed as they nil hurried towards hlin. Then suddenly he sprang to hi feet. Again the change came Into his face which they had seen In the mirror. French dashed forward to wards him. The professor snarled, seemed about to spring, then suddenly once more stretched out hla hands to show that he was helpless and handed to Quest the paper upon which ho bad been writing.
