"So long, Air. Vance," he said. "I
am getting in that taxi up ahead. I
gotta get back to that damn house.
i got work to do."
"Stay right here, Sergeant, and
get that arm properly dressed up
first,"
He led Heath back, and accom-
panied him up the hospital steps.
.A. few minutes later Vance came
out alone.
t'The noble Sergeant is all right,
Van," he said, as he took his place
at the wheel again, "He'll be out
before long."
When we reached Vance's apart-
ment Currie opened the door for us.
There was relief writen on every
line of the old butler's face.
"Good heavens, Currie!" said
Vance, as he stepped inside. "I told
you, you might tuck yourself in at
eleven o'clock if you hadn't heard
from me."
Killed Three Men
"I'm sorry, sir," Currie said in a
voice which, for all its formality,
had an emotional tremolo in it. "I—
I couldn't go to bed sir, until you
returned. len very glad you have
come home sir."
"You're a sentimental old fossil,
Currie," Vance complained, hand-
ing the butler his hat.
"Mr. Markham is waiting in the
library," said Currie.
As we entered the library, we
found Markham pacing up and
down.
"Well, thank God?" he said. And,
though he attempted to sound triv-
ial, his relief was as evident as old
Currie's had been.
"Greetings, old dear," said Vance
— "and why this unexpected plea-
sure of your presence at such an
hour?"
"I was merely interested, offic-
ially, in what you might have
found on Lord Street;" returned Mr.
Markham."
"I'm frightfully sorry, Mark-
ham," he said, "but I fear that I
have made you a bit of trouble ..
The fact is," he added carelessly,
"I killed three men."
"Are you serious?" blurted out
Markham.
"Oh, quite," answered Vance.
"Do you think you can save me
from the dire consequences?"
And then he told Markham in de-
tail everything that had happened
that night. But I thought he too
greatly minimized his own part in
the tragic drama. When he had fin-
ished his recital he asked some-
what coyly:
"Am I a doomed culprit, or were
there what you would call extenu-
atin' circumstances? — I'm horrib-
ly weak on the intricacies of the
law. don't y' 'know."
"Damn it: forget everything,"
said Markhn n. "If you're really
worried, I'll get you a brass medal
as big as Columbus Circle.
The front door -bell rang, and a
minute later Heath entered the
library. Hiis ordinary ruddy face
was a little pale and drawn, and his
right arm was in a sling. He salut-
ed Markham and turned sheepishly
to Vance.
Wait Till Morning
"Your old saw -bones at the hospi-
tal told me I had to go home," he
complained. "And there's nothing in
God's 'world the matter with me,"
he added disgustedly. "Imagine
him puffin" this arm in a sling —
Heii! If my gun hadn't jammed—"
"Yes. that was a bad break, Ser-
geant," nodded Markham.
Vance and Markham and Heath
discussed the case from various
angles for perhaps a half hour lon-
ger. Markham was getting impa-
tient,
"I'm going home," he said final-
ly', as he rose. "We'll get this thing
straightened out in the morning."
"Is there anything you want me
to do, Mr. Vance?" Heath's tone
was respectful. but a little weary.
Vance looked at him with com-
miseration.
CHAPTER XVI
"I want you to go home and
have a good sleep.... And. by the
by, Sergeant, how about rounding
everybody up and invitin' them to
the Purple House tomorrow,
around noon?" he asked. "I'm
speakin' of Fleet. Kenyon Reating.
and Quaggy. Mrs. Palloway and
her son will, I'm sure, be there, in
any event."
We arrived at the K.ent`ng resi-
dence. Valli e driving us there in
his car, fifteen minutes before
noon. \Veem took our hats and
made a surly gesture toward the
drawing -room. SSergeant. Heath
and Snitkn were already there.
A little later Fleel and Kenyon
Kenting arrived together, .followed

calve down the front stairs and
joined as.
"nu so allgious about Made-
line," Mrs. Falloway said. "How
is she, Mr. Vance"
"Mrs, Keating is doing even
better today than I would have ex-
pected. T can assure you that she
will be home in two or three days,
fully recovered and in her normal
mind.
A Tale to Unfold
"And I imagine she will have a
most interestin' tale to unfold. Y'
know, it was not intended that she
return.
"The truth is, this was not a
kidnapping case at all. The auth-
orities were expected to accept it
in that light, but the murderer
made too many errors his fault
lay in trying to be excessively
clever.
"There is no doubt whatever
that Kasper Kenting made an ap-
pointment for the early morning
hours, after he had returned from
his evening's entertainment at the
casino with Mr. Quaggy.
"When Kasper left this house
early Wednesday morning, he was
met at the appointed place not by
the person with whom he had made
his appointment, but by others
whom he had never seen before.
They struck hila over the head be-
fore he so much as realized that
anything was amiss, threw him into
a coupe, and then drove off with
him to the East River and disposed
of him, hoping he would not be
found too soon. It was straight,
brutal murder. And the persons
who committed that murder had
been hired for that purpose and
had been instructed accordingly.
You will understand that the plot-
ter at the source never intended
anything less than murder for the
victim—since there was grave risk
in letting him live to point an ac-
cusing finger later.... The slen-
der Chinaman—the lobby-gow of
the gang—then returned to the
house here, placed the ladder
against the window—it bad been
left here previously for just that
purpose — entered the room
through the window, and set the
stage according to instructions,
taking the toothbrush, the comb,
and the pyjamas, and pinning the
note to the window -sill, generally
leaving mute but spurious indica-
tions that Kas)iar Kenting had kid-
napped himself in order to collect
the money he needed to straighten
"'out his debts.
"So far the plot was working
nicely. The first set -back occurred
after the arrival in the mail of
the ransom note with the instruc-
tions to take the -Morley' tb 'the
tree. The scheme of the murderer
to collect the money from the tree
was thwarted, makin' necess'ry
further steps. The same day Mrs.
Renting was approached for an
appointment, perhaps with a prom-
ise of news of her husband—ob-
viously by some one she trusted,

for she went out alone at ten
o'clock that night to keep the ap-
pointment. She was awaited —
possibly just inside Central Park
—by the same hard gentlemen
who had done away with her hus-
band.. But instead of meeting with
the same fate as Kasper Keating,
she was taken to the house on
Lord Street I visited last night,
and held there as a emit of hos-

fiendish scheme had not yet been
able to pay the price demanded

par's killing, thereby irking the
hired assassins. The lady was, so

nothing compared to what they
were actually worth, hopin' to
turn them over at an outrageous
profit. But semi-precious stones
are not so easy to dispose of
through illegitimate channels. A
shady transaction of this nature
would naturally require time, and
the now -defunct henchmen who
were waiting for settlement were
becoming annoyed. Most of the
really valuable stones, which I am
sure the collection contained orig-
inally, were no longer there when -
I glanced over the cases the other
morning. I am quite certain that
the balas-ruby I found in the poor
fellow's dinner coat was brought
back because the purchaser would
not give hint what he thought it
was worth--Kaspar probably mis-
took the stone for a real ruby.

undoubtedly have included. in the
collection, and yesterday morning

SHE COULD NEITHER
WALK NOR SLEEP
Arms and Feet Swollen
with Rheumatism
This woman suffered for many
years. Pain sapped her strength
until she lost hope of recovery.
Many remedies were tried, but
nothing broke the grip of her crip-
pling rheumatism. At last her hus-
band persuaded her to try Krus-
then Salta x—
"My arms and'feet were swollen
with rheumatism," she writes. "I
c notwalk could alb, n r
o get regular
sleep, and nothing did me any
good. I was so hopeless of ever
getting better, I lost my good na-
ture entirely, Then my husband.
persuaded me to try Kruschen
Salts. After two weeks I began to
feel better: I persevered, and in
six weeks, 1 was doing housework.
Later, I was able to go for a walk.
Now 1 am free from pain and I
feel grand."—(Mrs.) F.W.
Rheumatism is commonly caus-
ed by deposits of uric acid crys-
tals, which lodge in the muscles
and joints. Kruschen helps to
break up these deposits of troub-
ling crystals and to convert them
into a harmless solution, which is
removed through the natural chan-
nel—the kidneys.
