A little! cared B8 hn leased the other's hand you crowd of people were elbowing their way out on to the sidewalk. The fnces ! of most ot them were still shndowed ' by the three hours of tense drama , from which they had just emerged. Quest, who had lit a cigar, watched them curiously. i "No need to go Into court," he re-, marked. "I could have told you, from j the look of these people, that Mac-' with seeming reluctance, "I have thought about you many times. Your doings have always been of Interest to me." "1 am sorry," Quest remarked, "that our first meeting here should be un der such distressing circumstances!' The professor nodded gravely. "If you'll excuse me, professor," said Quest, "I think 1 miiBt be getting along.

"It waa a crpel murder, fiendishly committed." They were on the point of crossing the pavement toward the automobile when Quest felt a touch upon his shoul- I der. He turned and round ira abb Ielgh standing by.bla aide. Quest glanced toward Lenora. '" ' "Bun and jet tn the cr,"hj what?" Quest inquired "Of your dubiously. "Of my anthropoid ape which I have just sent to the museum. You know my claim? But perhaps you would pre fer to postpone your final decision un til after you have examined the skele ton Itself." A light broke In upon the crlmlnol eglst "Of course!" he exclaimed. "For the moment, professor, I couldn't fol lB .XP.U-. You are talking about tb,e skeleton of the ape which you br 'lgfrt home from South America, and v hlch you have presented to the mustuin here?" "Naturally," the professor assented, with mild surprise. "To what else? I am stating my case, Mr. Quest, In the j North American Review next month; I may tell you, however, as a fellow Bcleutis:, the great and absolute 1 truth. My claim Is incontestible. My I skeleton will prove to the world, with out a doubt, the absolute truth of Dar win's great theory." . "That so?" "You must go and see It," the pro fessor Insisted. "You shall be permit ted a special examination." "Very kind of. you," Quest mur mured, f "We shall meet again soon, I hope," the professor concluded cordially. "Good-morning, Mr. Quest!" The two men shook hands and Quest took his seat by Lenora's side in the automobile. The professor rejoined his brother. They entered the taxlcab and were driven almoBt in silence to the profes sor's home a large, rambling old house, situated in somewhat extensive but ill-kept grounds on the outskirts 01 New York. The Englishman glanced around htm, us they passed up the drive, with an expression of disap proval. ' "A more unttdy looking place than yours, Edgar, I never Baw," he declared. "Your grounds have become a jungle. Don't you keep any gardeners?" ; "I keep other things," he said serene ly. "There Is something in my garden which would terrify your nice Scotch gardeners into fits if they found their way here to do a little tidying up. Come into the library and I'll give you one of my choice cigars. Here's Craig waiting to let us In. Any news, Craig?" "Nothing has happened, sir," he re plied. "The telephone Is ringing in the study now, though." j- "I will answer It myBelf," the profes sor declared, bustling off. ' The professor took up the receiver from the telephone. His "Hello!" waB mild and Inquiring. He had no doubt that the call was from some admiring disciple. The change in his face aa he listened, however, was amazing. "George," he gasped, "the greatest tragedy In the world has happened! My ape Is stolen!" His brother looked at him blankly. "Your ape Is stolen?" he repeated. "The skeleton ot my anthropoid ape," the professor continued, his voice growing alike in sadness and firmness. "It Is the curator of the museum who is speaking. jrhejMiave just opened the box. It has lain for two days in n Hnteiww. It is empty!" Lord- ABhleiKti muutreu some thing a little vague. The theft of a skeleton scarcely appeared to his . unscientific mind to he a realizable thing. The professcr turned back to j the telephone., ;' "Mr. Francis," he said, "I cannot talk to you. i can say nothing. I shall come to you at once. I am on the point of starting. Your news has overwhelmed me." He laid down the receiver. " ' He looked around him like a .man in 'a nightmare. - "The taxicab Is waiting, sir," Craig reminded him. "That is most fortunate," the pro fessor pronounced. "I remember now that I had no change with which to pay him. I must go back. : Look aft er my brother. And, Craig, telephone at once to !r. Sainford Quest. ' Ask him to meet me at the museum in twenty minutes. Tel him that noth ing must stand in the way. Do you hear?" The taxicab man drove off, glad enough to have a rettirn fare, m about half an hour's time the profes sor strode up the steps of the museum and hurried Into the office.
