CHAPTER TWENTY
AS tits long-distance conversation
ended, the work of the vacuum
cleaners was getting underway.
Instantly the pent-house of Lola
Carewe was filled with s weird
sound. At that dark hour th moan
ing whine, the wheezing drone of
those vacuum cleaners operated by
two young detectives from Center
Street echoed mournfully through
the rooms. Every particle of dust ta
the room where the crime had been
done was being garnered into those
bloated pouches. Millions of infinite
particles were being bagged like so
much gams for the hunter, treasure
dust in the man-hunt. Somewhere ia
the multitudes of particles there

tives the carpet sweeper is a tool as
Indispensable as the magnifying
glass, the tape measure, and tha Ink

But District Attorney Dougherty
viewed the two machines with a
bilious eye.
-Colt," he sTrlstrnfd, with a
proachful glance back over his
shoulder, I didat know yew had
gone m for this sort ef thing."
"Ever hear of It before T"
"Oh, IYe read about the Viennese
police doing something of the kind.
But it all seems very f addistie te
me. If yoa dont mind my saying
so. I dont believe yoa can solve
crimes by looking at sweepings
under a microscope."
"But Mr. Dougherty
started to protest.
"Any more." Insisted the Dis
trict Attorney, crushing me with a
glance, "than X believe you can ten
fortunes with tea-leaves."
Colt smiled but did not reply.
He want te the telephone and eailed1
a Morningside number. His conver
sation was revealing.
"Halle, Professor Lockner. I
sorry te get yoa out ef bed. This
Is Thatcher Colt. I am engaged

te send yoa some specimens for

clothing of two murdered girls.

TOghtr :
Colt tamed away.) His dark
brews were concentrated la aa un
accustomed frewa, I saw that some
facet ef (his double riddle had as
sumed Irsnsenss importance ia his
ryes. Perhaps it was only guess
work, bat I had a hunch that the
chief was stfil preoccupied with the
problem of those strange markings
oa tbe aeek ef . Christine Quires,
With aa abstracted sir; he crossed
the living-room and passed down
the corridor te the foyer and the
front door. Dougherty j was about
to frQow but I motioned te him te
remain. Together we stood by ths
fireplace, smoking; cigarettes.
"What ta he looking for?"
rambied Dougherty eat of the ear
ner ef bis mirth, after five minutes
ef silence. - - ! -
"The mardererf" 1 grinned.
At that saoaeat, Colt reappeared
ia the doorway. His clothing wa.
wet, his black hair tousled. He had
been eat en the terrace. His eyes
were set ia aa intent igase that
almost somnsaboSsae is its
complete eoacentratioa.' Never had
the chief so deeply tnunersed
m a problem. With slow, plodding
steps be traversed the living-room
and then, suddenly,!! realised
what it waa he waa doing.
He was retracing his own Itiner
ary, just as we had followed Lola
Carewe hoars age on a tour through
the rooms ef the apartment.
What was ths. purpose ef this
steady retracing of eld steps? I
watched, fascinated I had not seea
Thatcher Colt la this strange mood
before. The personal challenge, per
haps the very Impertinence ef
these murders, had brought him to
a high pitch ef determined effort
Te the kitchen be went and from
there through room after room. Wei
did not follow him, but we could
hear him, poking about in closets,
and opening boxes sad trunks, even
lifting windows and trying doors.
Finally be came back to us, hav
ing completed the circuit and re
examined all the rooms. As be en
tered the drawing-room, J saw him
thrust some large object into the
left pocket of his trousers. It made
s noticeable bulge.
But of this object which he bad
concealed, Thatcher Colt made ne
mention at the moment. Instead he
held out his right hand.1 on which
lay a long, golden strand of hair
from the bead of a woman.
"Does that mesa anything te
you!" be asked, bis voice brittle,
unnaturally calm. I saw. that he had
not looked la vain; he had made
discoveries sad he considered them
important. . ;
"It Is a hair, the color ef Chris
tine's hair," declared Dougherty.
"Where did yoa find ttTT
"Oa the floor ia Lola's room.'
"But how could yoa find a tiling
like this a thin strand of hair"
"Because I knew where te look,"
answered Colt grimly. "It
a window."
"A terrace window?" 1
"Ne, Dougherty one that opens
ea a straight drop ef twenty-three
stories te the street."
Dougherty raa a thick hand
through his mop ef red curls. His
blue area, bedeviled, rolled unhappily.
"How, Thatcher , he pre
tested.
Bat Colt, having turned the
strand of hair ever te me, was al
ready st the guest-room door, talk
ing te Flynn. I found sn envelope,
put the hair in it, marked the en
velope sad pat tt la my pocket.
"Leave' a good maa ia charge
whoa yoa ge back te Headquart
ers," the chief waa telling Flynn.
"I shall be at my home. If the
Rochester caO comes, switch it
there. And ksrp tne posted."
Ia eflenee, Dougherty and I fol
lowed Colt down the corridor to
ward tha foyer. But midway ia the
passage, the Commissioner paused
ana faced snoot.-". i -'; x
: "I had f ergottea sotnetMng," to
murmured. "Something Important.
Returning te the IMng-roosa, he
crossed to what had been the boe

Dorothy Lox opened the door.
"On the dresser,", directed the
Commissioner, without entering,
"there Is a framed picture ef

"No," protested a cross eld veto
from within, "That's Lola's plctars
and ra going te see te It it coat

-There's plenty of time for thai."
answered Colt "Lefs have the pie

With the framed portrait ia bis
hands, Colt went te a smeS table .
in the living-room. There, with bis
gloved hands, he pried at the bach

backing and photograph.
It was the picture itself that be

he instructed. TU tell yea whet te
do with it later."
On the first landing.CoHstoppedsa,
"Tony," be said, "I am sending
yoa down to Headquarters with
several things of the utmost im
portance te this ease. Listen
fully, for If my Instructions
carried out, I believe we caa break
this case In twenter-four hours!"
"What are the things?" bfurted
Dougherty, rubbing his hands with
curiosity.
From the breast pocket ef his
evening coat Colt drew forth a
bulky object wrapped ia a handkerchief.
"Take this down te Headquar
ters," the Commissioner directed.
while Dougherty 'eyed the irregu
lar bundle with podgy suspkiea.
"Have its . contents analysed at
once. Toa may ahew H te Mr.
Dougherty handle it carefully."
I drew back ths sUkea folds ef
tbe handkerchief. There la my hand
lay the hypodermic syringe ami
needle which Doctor Baldwin aad
used, just before Lola Carewe
breathed her last!
It was ths syringe, thea,' that
Colt had lifted from the medicine
case. Had Baldwin noticed? Surely
he had not forgotten such sa im
portant accessory! Or had be done
just that, swept along in the ex
citement T
The possibility that Doctor Bald
win had had a hand la the death ef
Lola or Christine seemed remote te
the! point ef absurdity. What op
portunity had there been?
But I had ne time thea for Idle
speculation. From the left-hand
pocket ef his trousers, Colt took out
a cofl ef brown leather strap. It
had a buckle at the end the kind
of strap used oa trunks. I noticed
that the strap had recently been wet
"What's that for?" rumbled
Dougherty, ogling the strap sus
piciously. Ton will take this down to Dee
tor Multooler," resumed Colt crisp
ly. "Tell him I want it turned eves
for a laboratory analysis. Also
have that strand ef hair Identified
as belonging te Christine." '
And the frame I" I prompted.
Colt smiled at the framed pie
tare as at aa eld friend.
"Tea are to take the picture," he
added, "to Mr. Gavin, the telegraph
manager la Headquarters, TeB him
I waat that picture sent to M. Du
pont bead ef the Paris police force,

"Clear, chiefl"
