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

"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. There was
a little crowd of officials there, whom j
