FIRST INSTALLMENT
"SANFORD
QUEST,
GUST."
CRIMINOLO-
The young man from the West had
arrived in New York only that after
noon, and his cousin, town born and
bred, had already embarked upon the
.task of showing him. toe gjrea' city.
.They occupied 5 taLTe In a somewhat
insignificant corner of one of New
York's most famous roof garden res
taurants. The place was crowded
with diners. There were many nota
bilities to be pointed ouL The town
young man was very busy.
"Tell me," the country cousin In
quired, "who Is the mau at a table by 1
himself? The waiters speak to him!
as though he were a little god. Is he
millionaire, or a judge, or what?"
"You're in luck, Alfred," the N'ew
Yorker declared. "That's the most in
terestlng man in Now York one of
the niost interesting in the world.
That's Sanford Quest."
"Who's he?"
"Sanford Quest is the greatest mas.
ter in criminology the world has ever
known. He Is a magiciun, a scientist
the Pierpont Morgan of his profes
sion."
"Say, do you mean that he is a de
tective?"
"Yes," he said simply, "you can call
him that Just In the same way that
you could call Napoleon a soldier or
Lincoln a statesman. He is a detec
tive, if you like to call him that, the
master detective in the world."
When Sanford Quest entered hie
bouse an hour later be glanced into
two of the rooms on the ground floor,
in which telegraph and telephone op
erators sat at their instruments.
, Then, by means of a small lift, he as
cended to the top story and entered
a large apartment wrapped In gloom
until, as he crossed the threshold, he
touched the switches of the electric
lights. One realised then that this
was a man of taste. Quest drew up
an easy chair to the wide-dung win
dow, touching a bell as he crossed the
room. In a few moments the door was
opened and closed noiselessly. A
- young woman entered with a bundle
of papers. ,
The criminologist glanced through
the papers quickly. "No further in
quiries, Laura?"
She left the room almost noiselessly.

He smoothed It out before him and
read:

"On Saturday?" Ella almost
screamed.
"I shall now," Lord Ashieigh paid,
"leave you to talk over and discuss
this matter for the rest of the day.

your decision, or rather we will dis

claimed, "atra for bringing me uoiue.
As for the music,: well, I can't talk i
about it. : I am just going upstairs
into my room to sit and think." i
The car rolled off. ' Ella, a large i
umbrella held over ber bead by the
doorkeeper, stepped up the little strip j
of drugget which led into tbe softly j
warmed ball of the Lcland. Behind ;
her came her maid, Lenora, and Mac
dougal, who bad been riding on tbe r
box with the chauffeur. He paused
for a moment to wipe the snow from '

the left. Lenora turned toward him.
He whispered something In her ear. I

"This habit of becoming late for
breakfast." l.ady Ashieigh remarked,
as she sat down the coffee pot. "is

dear?"
Ella glanced up from a pile of cor-
CHAPTER II.
"I am to take it, I believe," Lord
Ashieigh began after dinner that eve
ning, "that you have finally decided,
EHa. to embrace our friend Delnrey'a
suggestion and to leave us Saturday?"
"If you please," Ella murmured,
with glowing eyes.
"You will take your own maid with
you, of course," Lord Ashieigh contin
ued. "Lenora is a good gir and I am
sure she will look after you quite well,
but have decided to supplement Le
nora's surveillance over your comfort
by sending with you, also, a sort of
courier and general attendant whom
do you think? Well, Macdougal. He
has lived in New York for some years,
and you will doubtless ilnd this a
great advantage, Ella."
Ella glanced over her shoulder at
the two servants who were standing
discreetly in the background. Her
eyes rested upon the pale, expression
less face of the man who during the
last few years bad enjoyed her fa
ther's confidence.
For a moment a queer sense of ap
pro' ension troubled her. Was it true.
she wondered, that she did not like the
man? She banished the thought al
most as soon as It was conceived.
"You are spoiling me, daddy," Ella
sighed.
"If you think so now," he remarked.
"I do not know what you will say to
me presently."
He laid upon the table a very fa
miliar morocco case, stamped with a
coronet,
"Our diamonds!" Ella exclaimed.
"The Ashieigh diamonds!"
The necklace lay exposed to view,
the wonderful stones flashing in the
subdued light.
"In New York," Lord Ashieigh con
tinued, "it is the custom to wear jew
elry in public more, even, than in this
country. Allow me!"

where the manservant was standing.
For once she saw something besides
the perfect automaton. His eyes, in
stead of being fixed at the back of his
masters chair, were simply riveted
upon the stone. A queer little feelia
of uneasiness di.irbed FJla for the
room. Ella pointed to the door.
"Lenora, look outside. See if any
ope is on that landing. I fancied that
the door opened."
Lenora crossed the room and tried
tbe handle. Then she turned towards
her mistress in triumph.
"It is locked, my lady," she re
ported. "Go down and ask Macdougal to
come up. 1 am going to have this
thing explained."
Something of her mistress' agita
tion seemed to have become commu
nicated to Lenora.
She walked quickly to the back part
of the hotel and ascended to the wing
In which the servants' quarters were
situated. Here she made her way
along a corridor until she reached
Macdougal's room. She knocked, and
knocked again. There was no answer.
She tried the door and found it was
locked. Then she returned to the lift
and descended once more to the floor
upon which her mistress' apartments
were situated. She opened the door
of the suite without knocking and
turned at once to the sitting room.
"I am sorry, my lady " she began.
Then she stopped short. The lift
boy, who had had a litt'e trouble with
his starting apparatus and had not as
yet descended, heard the scream
which broke from her lips, and a fire-
j. man in an adjacent corridor came run

Lenora was on her knees by her mis
tress" side. Ella was still lying In the
easy-chair in which she bad been
seated, but her head was thrown back
1 In an unnatural fashion. There was
a red mark Just across her throat. ,
Lenora shrieked. "She's fainted!
