WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE
Dr. Lone is visiting Bouthley Downs.
to which he is conducted by Ahmad
uas, an oriental. There he meets Mr.
Southley, whom a detective friend. Al
exander Pierce, had told him to watch,
and his son Erneat Routhlev. Mr. Hav-
ward and his son Vilas, and then Jose
phine Southley, whom he had seen faint
on the train. Josephine tells him the
story or bouthley Downs and lie ghost.
which is not the ghost of a human being
but of a tiger.
Dr. Long has a quarrrel with Vilas
Hayward over Josephine, and finds that
the Haywards have a strange authority
over the Bouthleys. He is ordered to
leave Bouthley Dewns. The rain pre
vents htm leaving at once. Dr. Long
and Ernest go out on the road In the
rain looking for the tracks of a tiger
that Ernest says are tnere.
They find the tracks. Later Ernest
and Dr. Long see a prowling creature
in the hall of Bouthley Downs. This
frightens the elder Hayward, who also
seed it. Ernest begins to teel mat An
mad Das la perpetrating some deviltry.
The elder Hayward is later found
dead, hla neck broken as if by a giant's
blow.
The coroner and police arrive In or
der to investigate.
Because of the murder, Dr. Long must
remain at Southley Downs. All the
persons there are questioned by Inspec
tor Freeman.
Dr. Long becomes jealous of the love
he believes to exist between Vilas Hay
ward and Josephine. During the course
of investigations of the crime Dr. Lone
becomes suspicious of a man namea
Robin. He determines to watch him.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
In some way that I was yet to
And out, he was involved In the
problem of Southley Downs. He
had washed the blood from the rock
on the hillside. He had eluded the
Inspector and myself in the chase
in the darkness. Now I had found
him with Southley working upon
the engine In the power-house and
yet they had seemed merely to be
examining it, rather than at work.
I remembered that neither of them
had held tools in their hands, or
even seemed to have any tools with
them.
I was suddenly deeply suspicious
of this man Robin. I remembered
that he had volunteered his services
to the negro Sam, and that looked
as if he had business of his own at
Southley Downs. His excuse for
coming seemed somewhat trumped
up. Besides, he looked his part
too well. He was too perfect an
example of a certain type of squat
ter. He had an English accent, and
I had been watching all through my
visit at Southley Downs for the in
trusion of some one with such an
accent.
Roderick, of whom Alexander
Pierce had told me, who evidently
had not yet put In his appearance,
had lived long years in England.
The names were somewhat similar,
too; and I had heard before of that
peculiar trait of human nature that
Influences a man against giving up
his own name altogether. The
alias he adopts is usually some
what similar to his own name.
I made a feint of going back to a
book. Southley seemed relieved.
He left me In a moment and joined
his daughter in the den. Vilas had
gone to his room, and lost as It was
among the many, breathless corri
dors of the great house, I could
Imagine it was the last place In the
world he had really wished to go. I
drew my chair up to the great dor
mer window that overlooked the
power-house. And I didn't see one
word of the type beneath my eyes.
The hill was Bwept by moon
beams. There was a silver path
across the face of the swamp, leap
ing ever to my eyes. I waited pos
sibly five minutes. And then I saw
Robin emerge from the power
house. For a long minute he waited In
the shadows, and my suspicions
leaped to a certainty. Then I saw
him steal away toward the edge of
the marsh.
A minute more and I was out in
the darkness too, trying to shadow
him. I tried to keep to the less
open part of the hillside and yet
not lose sight of my quarry. He
walked slowly at first, and I short
ened the distance between use to
one hundred yards. As yet t had
no reason for thinking he had seen
me. His form was perfectly visible
In the moonlight, but I had kept
mostly In the shadow. But all at
once he Increased his pace.
I walked faster, too. My quarry
broke into a slow trot. It was im
possible that I could run behind
him and still keep out of sight
So I made a furious dash toward
him at top speed.
For a moment I thought I would
overtake him before he saw me;
but when I had covered half the
distance between us he began really
to run. He straightened out his

long legs, and fairly seemed to fly
straight for the marsh at the bot
tom of the hill.
"Stop, Robin!" I shouted at him.
"Stop at once!"
He only increased his speed. I
never saw a man run faster. I was
in good condition, and I gave him
the best I had. He hadn't the
chance to elude me that he had in
our previous encounter earlier ni
the evening. The moon was out
now.
He splashed across a pond of
shallow water at the base of the
hill. Possibly he thought I would
not follow him here. But he was
to be disappointed. No water was
deep enough to throw me off now.
I was going to find out his con
nection with the crime if I had to
follow him to the mainland across
the swamp.
But at once he splashed out of
the pond and circled back up the
hill. I was soaked to the knees,
but I gave it no thought Of
course he couldn't run so fast up
the steep slope, nor could I. And
my breath was coming -in great
sobs as I approached the house.
He swung about the great struc
ture, and I dipped far enough to one
side to watch. I saw him slip into
the postern door that led to the
library.
Twenty seconds later I entered
the same room. Evidently he hoped
to elude me in the maze of rooms.
But he had forgotten one thing.
His boots the same boots that
had left the telltale track beside the
rock were Bplashed with mud and
water. They made a trail across
the rugs and hardwood floor of the
library. And they turned Into the
den.
Once more the drama of Southley
Downs had shifted to this little
room. Once more I stood at its
threshold. And I had a curious
sense of portentous developments
that would come to pass within Its
doors.
Southley and Josephine were
standing up near the same table
that had figured in the drama of the
previous night.
"Close the door," Southley told
me.
"But where is that man Robin?
I saw him rush in here. And I
know he has something to do with
this mystery."
"Robin? You mean the man who
helped me In the power-house?"
A large blue portiere hung at the
side of the den, and out of the cor-

ner of my eye I saw It waver. No
wind blew It. And then, looking
straight, I saw the ends of white
Angers that clutched its folds.
"Mr. Southley, the man is behind
that curtain now!"
Then the man behind the curtain,
answered me himself.
"Oh, old Doc Long!" came a fa
miliar voice. "You're the most per
sistent devil!"
There is only one person in the
world that calls me "old Doc Long."
The hope of hearing his voice
about this cursed house of the
Southlcys was dead In my breast
It was the voice of the man I had
longed for, whose keen mind and
able hands would so quickly bring
light where there was shadow.
He pulled the curtain aside, the
gray eyes laughed at me. I saw
through the disguise at last, and
marveled at my blindness hereto
fore. Of course It was no one but
my old and trusted friend, that
world-famous detective and fisher
man, Alexander Pierce.
After we had got through pound
ing one naother on the back and
roaring out what a pleasure it was
to meet again I began to put a few
questions to the great detective.
And all the time I marveled at his
disguise.
"But why didn't you let me in on
It?" I demanded, Just a little hurt
I saw laughter in his eyes, but his
face remained grave.
"You were doing so well without
me, doc," he replied. "And the way
you chased me through the mud
it was rich, my lad! What a per

Saving Doesn't Mean
Being "Tight".
Nor does saving mean niggardliness about money matters.
Saving simply means that you are buying success on the
time payment plan. It simply means that you are planning
intelligently to get the things you want, when yuo want
them and as you want them.
That answers the question of "Why save, after all?" But
here are further answers to that question. A cash reserve
gives you greater resourcefulness. It gives you the advant
age of being able to purchase wisely. The opportunity to
make valuable strategic moves In business in making in
vestments. The feeling of greater confidence in every
thing you do that puts new power into your efforts.

"Miss Southley already knows

me." Then he grew serious. "Be

Teeming with terror of Dread Disease
rr is impossible to exaggerate the danger
from flies. Soft, spongy, hairy, reeking
with unspeakable filth, the fly's foot poi
sons and defiles everything it touches. Germs
of sickness and dread disease thrive in the
putrescent ooze.
Government scientists have actual proof that
flies transmit thirty different diseases. (See
U. S. D. A. Farmers Bulletin No. 1408.)
Flies cause untold thousands of sicknesses.
A national health magazine reports that each
year in the United States flies cause forty
thousand deaths.
So you must kill the fries. For yourself , your
family and the safety and comfort of the
community in which you live.
And for this health authorities advocate the
use of Fly-Tox. FLY-TOX is a scientific insec
ticide. It was developed at Mellon Institute of
Industrial Research by Rex
