t There was a certain similarity in the

1 Godfrey was a brilliant theorist and
-Something more. He was not so pa-
tient a$ Simmonds, but then he was
'much younger. Ile had more imeglua-
tion, and perhaps bis greatest weak-
ness was that he preferred picturesque
solutions to commonplace ones. Dur-
ing his three years' connection with the
force ho had won four or five notable
victories, so notable, indeed, that they
°attracted the attention of the Record

Godfrey resigned his badge and en-
tered the Record office as criminal ex-
pert, climbing gradually to the position

bad been rather the other way around.

Godfrey twirled the janitor sharply,
around in the direction of the door,
"Go ahead," he commanded, and
pushed rather than led him out into
the storm.
They made a dash for it through the
rain, which was. still pouring in tor-
rents. Halfway across the street they,
descried a Cab standing at the farthe 1
curb and veered to the right to avoid
it.
"Here we are," said Higgins, naming
up a short flight ea steps into >1 light '
ed vestibule. "It's in soot fourteen -

A. single door stood open, throwing
a broad glare of light across the hall.
"It's It,s there," said Higgins, and stop-
ped to gasp for breath.
The others ran on, For an instant
they stood upon the threshold gazipg

the floor, with a red stain growing and

staring white faced from the farther
corner -a woman, tall, with black hair

Then Godfrey stepped toward her
with a quick exclamation of surprise,
incredulity, horror.
"Why, Ws Bliss Croydon!" he said.
CHAPTER It
IMMONDfl had dropped on one
knee beside the body. He was
up again in an instant,
"No need for an ambu-
lance," he said tersely. "He's dead."
The words seemed to rouse the girl
froni the ecstasy of horror which pos-
sessed her, and she buried her face in
her hands,. shuddering cauvulsiveIy.
Godfrey caught ber as she swayed for-
ward and led her gently to a chair.
"Perhaps you don't remember me,
Miss Croydon," he said. "Godfrey's
My name. It was only the other night
At Mrs. Delroy's I met you. It was'
Jack Drysdale who introduced me.

"Yes," she murmured indistinctly, "I
remember quite" -
An exclamation from Simmonds in-
terrupted her. ' He had picked up a
small pearl handled revolver from the
Soar in the roam.
"Is this yours, miss?" he asked.
She nodded faintly,
Ho snapped it open and looked at the
chambers. One bad been discharged.
Ile sniffed at the barrel, then held it
out to Godfrey. The odor of burned
gunpowder was plainly,- discernible.
Godfrey's fate hardened as he turned
to the janitor, who had regained his
breath and stood staring on the thresh -

away, unable to go on.
"With this man?" asked Godfrey.
"Who is he?"
' "I don't know." And she cast it bor-
rifled glance at the huddled term. "I
never saw him before."'
"Then It wasn't he you came here to
meet?"
"No -that la -it may have

yet clearly, "I can't help you unless
you're quite thank with me, and T fear
you are going to stand in need of help.
Did you kiII this man?"
"Noe" she cried. "Oh, nol"
"Then who did?"
There was no answer, only a dry,
convulsive sobbing.
As Godfrey paused to look at her the
door opened and Simmonds came in.
He closed it and snapped `the lock.
"Tbere's a policeman outside and one
at each landing," he announced, "We'll
Iook things over hero and then search
the building. First, let's look at the
body."
It wan tying partly on its back, part-
ly on the right side, with both legs
doubled under it. The face was a
bearded one, rough, coarse' and a little
bloated; not a prepossessing face under
any circumstauces, and actually repul-
sive now with its gaping mouth and
widely staring eyes, It was tanned
and seamed by exposure to wind and
rain and there was a deep scar across
the left temple.
"Between fifty and sixty years of
age," remarked Godfrey. "Pouf: Smell
the whisky."
Then, looking into the staring eyes,
he uttered a sudden exclamation.
"See there, Simmonds, how the right
pupil's dilated. Do you know what
that means?"
Simmonds shook his head.
"No, I can't sayI do."
"It weans," aid Godfrey,' "that,

duced a hemorrhage of the brain."
They stripped back the shirt from
the breast, "A Iittlo blood was still

"That's wbat did the business," ob-
served Simmonds, "and at close range
