The Human Four
A Clever Detective Story
Stephen Pryde, with five hundred pounds
in the:. bank, started life. afresh. Ile' be-
gan by returning to his regular routine,
temporarilyinterfered with by the loss
of his money. No played golf on. Mon-
days, Wednesdays,: and Fridays,fenoed
on Tuesday and Thursdaymornings, and
played auction bridge during those after-
moons at his dub. On Saturdays he took
a Holiday. After about a month, how-
eper, ho became conscious of a distinot
slackening of ,interest in thee° pursuits..
His late plunge into the more adventur-
ous life had unsettled him. He began
to hang about the police comets, to scrape
acquaintance with the smaller fry among
the doteotivos. He developed theories of
his own about crimiuology. He visited
prisons and talked with euspeeted men.
He became a voluminous reader of a cer-
tain type of literature. He even haunted
the neighborhood in which famous grimes
had been oommitted. He •began; also,
about the same time to ]taunt Grace Bur-
ton's looms, but on the third occasion of
his presenting himself there .uninvited,
she spoke to him very firmly and very
plainly. -
"I have no work to suggest•to You just
now, Mr. Pryde, I am engaged myself on
a purely feminine and unimportant in-
vestigation.- When anything turns up, X
shall send for you at once."
"But I am bored to death," Pryde pro-
tested. "I am oleic of golf and cricket and
bridge. I can't settle down to anything."
!'That," she answered composedly, is
without doubt the price which you must
pay for having led an idle life."
"Come and dine with me somewhere this
evening and do a theatre," he begged.
Sho looked at him withthe faintest pos
etble uplifting of her smooth young fore-
head. The brown eyes, too, seemed a lit-
tle surprised. Thank you, no," she re.

°That may come by degrees," she re-
blied. "Excuse me now, please. I am

Pryde went away,'dissattsfled, and walk-
ed .into the alms of adventure. He had
barely issued from the doorway of the
building in which he and Grace Burton
both lived, before he was eoneeious that
the street was in some sort of commotion.
From out of sight around thecorner of
New Oxford Street he could hear the blow-
ing of whistles, a hoarse tumult of voices.
Along the main thoroughfare 'traffic had
stopped. Everyone seemed to have come
to a standstill in their places, watching.
A taxi -cab -driver had sprung from his cab
and was running forwardas though to
intercept some 0110. Pryde saw him sent

peered a man, running. He had left the.

The girl was silent: It seemed to be a
little idol. He held it for a moment in
his hand, .and then set .it down on the
table opposite to them. It was -the image;
of a roan squatting upon the ground, a
man with 'long, low forehead,: email fea-
tures, and great eyes.' Hie lips were part-
ed in a hideous 'smile. There was a'
strange leer. upon the chiseled features.:

Pryde shivered. "Beastly thing!" he
muttered, "I never saw anything so re-
pulsive."
Grace made no reply-. SIMeeomod, in
deed, oblivious to his words. She was
holding the idol ae far as Possible from
her fare, her eyes fixed upon it. Pryde
was suddenly nonocious ofa vague, smol-
dering exoitement'in her manner. Her
lips had parted, her brown eyes were
glowing; a slight flush of color had sto-
len through the transparency of her skin.
"This is their mascot,'" ehe whispered.
"Cant -you understand it? Criminals—
men who plan crimes on a great Boole-=
are nearly always .superstitious."
Then the sooner we get rid of the thing
the better," Pryde decided.
She looped unwillingly away from the'
idol. Her lips had curled a little; there
was a shade of contempt in her tone.
"Get rid ofthe thing, indeed!" she re-
peatod scornfully. "Can't yeti Geo that

opened and closed the door behind him.

flour that has dropped from the
meat. If there is not enough of this
fat add a little boiling water, Stir
