spot where the assault bad been made
upon her: .'.. There were one or two 1

The professor's smile was illuminat
ing, his manner simple but convincing.
"Craig." he asserted, "Is the best
'servant, the most honest mortal, who
ever breathed. He would' go any dis
tance out or ms way to avoid harmlug

cure for me the simplest specimens of
Insect life. Apart from this, he la a
man of some property, which he haa

think I may say, too devoted to me to
dream of ever leaving my service.
"You think It would be out of the
question, then," Quest asked, "to
elate him with the crime?"

"I could more readily associate you,
myself or young Mr. Rhelnholdt here
with the affair," he declared.
His words carried weight. The little
breath of suspicion against the pro
fessor's servant faded away. In a mo

' "It appears, madam," be announced,
"that Mr. Craig left when there was

therefore, by which exit he left the

; Mrs. Rhelnholdt shook her bead. '
"The servants, might occasionally,"
she remarked doubtfully, "but not on -nights
when I am receiving"
-. The butler stepped forward. He was
looking a little grave.
"I ought, ' perhaps, to inform you,
madam, and Mr. Quest," he said, "that

ration of .the spot. K -Afterwards; Quest
walked several times to each of the
doors leading Into the gardens.
' "There are ; four entrances alto

and glanced around the place. '"Two

and the other Isn't one-connects with
the back of the house the one through
which you came, Mrs. Rhelnholdt, and
. the- other leads . into your reception
room, into which you passed after the
assault : I shall now be glad It you
will permit me to examine the gardens
outside fpr a few minutes, alone with
my assistant, If you please." .
For almost a quarter of. an hour
Quest and Lenora disappeared. They
added, turning to the professor "that
he could, If he chose, make use of this
means of leaving the house. Sir. Craig
la a personal friend of mine, and a
member of a very seleot little club we
have for social purposes".
: "Did he follow your- suggestion?"
Sanford Quest asked. . - I
"Of that I am not aware, sir,"- the
butler replied. "I left Mr. Craig with
some refreshment, expecting that he
would remain until my return, but a
few minutes later I discovered that he
had left. I will Inquire in the kitchen
If anything is known as to his move
ments." ' . :
He hurried off. Quest turned to the
professor....: -v. ... -V

- Quest nodded absently. -
"My assistant and I," he announced,
"would be glad to make a further ex
amination nf thm Mnsprvtttnrv If vaii
will kindly leave us alone."
They obeyed without demur. Quest
took a seat and smoked calmly, with
his eyes fixed upon the roof. Lenora
went back to her examination of the
overturned plants, the mold and. the
whole ground , within the immediate
environs of the assault She abandoned
the search at last, however, and came
back to Quest's side. He threw away
his cigar and 'rose.
"Nothing there?" he asked laconic
ally. ; "Not a thing," Lenora admitted.'
' Quest led the way toward the door.
"Lenora," he decided, "we i 9 up
against something big. There's a new
band at work somewhere."
"No theories yet, Mr. Quest?" she
asked, smiling.
"Not the ghost of one," he admitted
gloomily.

Uf fcTs pockets, a man1 walked swiftly
along. At every block he hesitated
and looked around him. His manner
waa cautious, almost furtive. Once
the glare of an electric light fell upon
nis race, a face pallid with fear, al
most hopeless . with despair. He
walked quickly, yet he seemed to have
no Idea as to direction. Suddenly he
paosed. He waa passing a great build
ing, brilliantly fit For a moment he
thought that It was some place of en
tertainment The thought of entering
seemed to occur to him. Then he felt
a firm touch upon his arm, a man in
uniform spoke to him. .
"Step inside, brother," be Invited
earnestly, . almost eagerly, ' notwith
standing his monotonous nasal twaug.
"Step Inside and find peace. Step in
side and the Lord will help you. Throw
your burden away on the threshold."
. The man's first Impulse at being ad
dressed had seemed to be one of terror.
Then he recognised the uniform and
hesitated. The man took htm by the
arm and led him In. There were the
best part of a hundred people taking
their places after the singing of the
hymn. A girl was standing up before
them on a platform. She was com
mencing to speak, but suddenly broke
off..: She held out her arms to where
the' prof essor'ti confidential servant
stood hesitating.
"Come and tell us your sins," she
called out "Come and have them for
given. Come and start a new life In
a new world. There Is no one here
who thinks of the past. Come and seek
forgiveness."
" For a moment the wait from the
rain-swept world hesitated. The light
of an Infinite desire flashed in bis eyes.
Then he dropped his head. 1 These
things might be for others. For him
there was no hope. He shook bis head
to the girl, but sank into the nearest
seat and on to his knees.
"He repents)" the girl called out.
"Some day he will comet Brothers and
sisters, we will pray for him."
The rain dashed against the win
dows. The only other sound from out
side was the clanging of the street
cars. The girl's. voice, frenzied, ex
horting, almost hysterical, pealed out
to the roof. At every pause the little
gathering of men and women groaned
in' sympathy. The man frame was
shaken with sobs.
