"I understand 'that on se'ij ral occasions you have been followed by this Man in Black. Dave you any idea who he is?" "Yes," said the other, without hes- itation; "but what is the value of my ideas? I could not swear to any facts and facts are the meat and drink of juries, Mr. Carver." Carver got up 'and sighed heavily and hearing him, Yeh Ling broke in- to a fit of silent laughter. "I am sorry," he apologized, "but I am thinking of my favorite poem," his eyes twinkled. "You remember the other .gentleman who `rose with a sigh, and he said can this be? We are ruined by 'Chinese cheap labor-" 'SI shall certainly not 'go for the Heathen Chinee,' " said 'Carver good- humouredly; "not for the moment. What I like about you, Yeh Ling, is your refreshing sanity. I don't know that I have ever dealt with a man - shall I say fought with a man? - who would have given me greater pleasure to fence." The Chinaman performed a deep kow-tow, and his mock humility amused Carver long after he had left the shadow of the Golden Roof. Yeh Ling, who seldom made any personal effort for the comfort of his guests, paid particular attention to the preparations which were being made in No. 61 that night. The Ital- ian waiters, to whom the proprietor was almost unknown, were both ner- vous and annoyed, for nothing seem- ed to please Yeh Ling. He had the flowers changed half a dozen times. He had new cloths brought, and at the last minute insisted upon the table being laid all over again. He brought the rarest of glass to adorn the board, unearthed unsuspected treasures of chinaware and substitut- ed them for the crockery of the rest- aurant. This done he summoned to his room the maitre d'hotel and the wine chef, and chose the dinner with the most exquisite care. "Yeh Ling has really done himself proud," said Tab, admiring the table. The girl nodded. She had hoped that Yeh Ling would have chosen an- other room, but she had no real feel- ing of repugnance.; and besides she had been here since Trasmere's death. "It is very thrilling to be dining alone with a young man," she said, handing her wrap to the waiter. "And I can only hope the scandal of it doesn't 'gest into the newspapers!" "Shall we see Yeh Ling?" asked Tab, half way through the dinner. She shook her head. "He never appears. He has only been in this room twice to my recol- lection." 4 "It is our first appearance together in public," said Tab solemnly. "I can count on our boys, but if any of those Herald thugs hear and catch a glimpse of your expensive ring, there are ,going to be scare lines in that deplorable rag -the Herald has no reticence or decency." She laughed softly and looked at the "expensive ring"' that glittered and sparkled in the light of the shad- ed lamp. "I asked Carver if he would come along after dinner," said Tab, "but he is busy. 'He sent the most flowery and poetical messages to you -really Carver is 'a surprising person; there is a whole world of romance hidden behind that somewhat unpleasing ex- terior, if you will pardon the journ- alese." But if Carver could not come, they had a visitor. There came a tap and the door opened slowly. "Great Moses!" said Tab, springing up. "How the dickens did you know that we were here, Rex?" "I spotted you," said Rex Lander reproachfully, "slinking in at the side door like two guilty souls! May I offer my congratulations, Miss Ard- fern, and lay 'at your feet the frag- ments of a broken heart?" She laughed nervously at his jest. "No, I can't Stay," said Rex, "I have a party; 'and, moreover, If am entertaining a man with terrific ideas on architecture. Isn't it queer? Now that I am no longer arc-ing, I have conceived 'a passion for that unhallow- ed profession! Even old Stott is 'be- coming an admirable personage in my eyes. Have you forgiven me, Miss Ardfern.?" "Oh, yes," she said quietly, "I have forgiven you a very long time ago." Rex's baby eyes were very kindly, his plump face was wrinkled in a smile of amiable reflection. "'When a young man's fancy-'" he began, and caught a reflection in the mirror. From where Tab and the girl sat they could see nothing. Rex saw re- flected the half open door and a figure that stood motionless outside:. He spun round with an exclamation. R. T. LUKER Licensed auctioneer for the County of Huron.

There was a touch of color in her cheeks that had not been there before. "Thank you, Yeh Ling, you gave us a w'c nderful feast. We shall be late for the theatre, Tab," she said, get- ting up hurriedly. • 'She was very silent in the car that drove them to the Athenaeum, and Tab felt a little of the gloom which had suddenly come into their festiv- ity. estiv- it "Yeh Ling is a creepy sort of fel- low, isn't' he?" he said. "Yes, I suppose he is," was her re- ply, and 'that was all she said. Ten minutes later 'she 'era:s sitting in a box, intent upon a stage which she had once adorned and seemingly oblivious to everything except the play. Tab decided that she was a little temperamental, and loved her for it. Going out to smoke between the first two acts (she insisted upon his going) he saw Carver standing by a tape machine in the vestibule of the theatre. His attention was concen- trated on a very prosy account of a yacht race which was coming through but he saw Tab out of the corner of his eye, and signalled him. "I 'am going 'home with you to- night," he said surprisingly. "What time will you leave Miss Ardfern?" "I am seeing her to her hotel im- mediately after the show." "You are not going to supper any- where?" asked the other carelessly. "No,"' said Tab; "why do you ask?" "Then I will be waiting at the Cen- tral Hotel for you. I wish to see you about a 'nephew of mine who wants. to become ',.newspaper report- er. Perhaps you can give me a few hints." Tab glanced at him suspiciously. "I have suspected you of many weaknesses, but never of nepotism! he said. "You told me a few weeks back that you hadn't a relation in the world." "I have acquired 'a nephew since then," said Carver calmly, his eyes still upon the tape; "it is a poor kind of detective who can't discover a nephew or two. I may fall down on a murderer, but when it comes to un- earthing distant relations I am at the top of my class. You will find me somewhere in the shadows of the Central," he added. Tab did not see the detective again until he had left the girl in the vesti- bule of her hotel. Coining out into the street, Carver, true to his word, appeared from the night and took his arm. "We will walk home. You don't take enough exercise," he said. "Lack of exercise is bad for the old, •but it is fatal for the young." "You are very chatty this evening," said Tab; "tell me something about your little nephew." "I haven't a nephew," said the de- tective shamelessly, "but I am feeling kind of lonely to -night. I have had a very disappointing day, Talb, and I want to pour my woes into a sym- pathetic 'ear." "Faugh!" said Tab. Carver showed no inclination to find a sympathetic listener, even when they were back at the flat and he had a modest whisky and soda be- fore him. "The truth is," he said at last, in answer to 'a direct question, "I have reason to believe that I am being most carefully watched." "By whom?" asked the startled Tab. "By the murder of Trasmere," said the detective quietly: "It is a hum- iliating confession for a man of my experience and proved courage to make, but I am afraid to go home to -night, for I have a large premoni- tion that our unknown friend is pre- paring something particularly start- ling in the way of trouble for me." "Then you really want to stay the night here?" said Tab, as the fact dawned upon 'him. 'Carver nodded. "Your instinct is marvellously de- veloped," said he. "That is just what I want to do if it is not incon- venient. The fact is, I had not the moral courage to ask you before. It isn't very pleasant to admit-•-" "Oh shush!" said Tab scornfully. "You are no more scared of the mur- derer than I am." "I 'am more accessible to him in my own lodgings," said the detective and that sounded fairly true. "If I stayed in an h'dtel I should be even more accessible, so I em going to make use of you, Tab. 'How do you feel about it?" "You can bring your 'belongings and stay here until the case is over," in- vited Tab. "I don't think that Rex's old .bed is made up." "I prefer 'the sofa, anyway. Lux- ury enfeebles and vitiates a man as it enfeebles and vitiates a nation-" "If you are going to be onocular, XXIX "Good Lord, Yeh Ling, you gave me a fright! What a creeping old devil you are." "I came to see whether the din- ner was successful," said Yeh Ling softly. His hands were covered in his wide sleeve§, 'a little black skull cap was pushed on the back of his head, his shabby silk suit and white - soled al'r'pers seemed remarkably out of place in that very modern setting. "It was a great success', Yeh Ling," said Tab, "wasn't it?" He turned to the girl, and she nodded and her eyes' met Yeh Ling's and for the fraction of a second held them. "I think I'll go," said Reit awkward- ly, and gripped the girl's hand again. "Good night, old. many you are a lucky old thief." file wrung Tab's hand and was gone.

"You're inde(centljr . humorous to-' night,"' he said. He hadn't been in hed five minutes 'before the light went out in the sit- ting -room. Mr. Carver was appar- ently settling himself ;to sleep. Tab's dreams were happy, 'but they were strangely mixed; Within five minetes of 'his head touching the pil- low he was carrying Ursula through her scented garden and his heart was full of gratitude to providence that this great and wonderful prize had come to him. And then in his dream he began to feel ' uncomfortable. Glancing over his shoulder he saw the sinister figure of Yeh Ling watch- ing him and he was in the garden no loner, but on the slope of a hill flanked by two huge pillars, and Yeh Ling stood at the entrance of his queer house, arrayed'in dull gold bro- cade. "BBang . . . Bang!" XXX Ile woke with a start. There was a rush of feet in' the sitting -room and then -crash. He was out of bed in a second and into the sitting room. Carver was nowhere to be seen and he felt by the draught that the door of the flat was wide open. He put his hand on the light switch and a voice from the darkness said: "Don't touch that light!" It came from outside the door, and it was Carver who was speaking. Below came the thud of the street door closing. Carver came hurriedly into the room, passed him, ran • to the window and looked out. "You can put it on now," said Car- ver. A red weal was slashed across his face, and' it was bleeding slightly. He put up his hand and looked at t "T'h'at was a narrow squeak," he said. "Yes, he's gone. I could have taken a chance and run downstairs after the door slammed, hut even. that might have been a fake to lure me into the open." The whole building was awake now. Tab heard the sound of unlocking doors and voices speaking from above and below. "It was the cigar that gave me away." said Carver ruefully. '•I was a fool to smoke. He must have seen the red end in the darkness, and on the whole I"think he shot pretty ac- curately." There was a small Medici print hanging by the side of the window. The glass was shattered. A round bullet -hole showed on the white shoul- der of Beatrice D'Este. Carver fingered the hole carefully. "That looks to me like an automat-, ic," he said. "Hee is getting quite modern. The last time be killed a man he used a type of revolver which was issued by the Chinese Govern- ment to its officers some fifteen years ago. We know that from the shape of the bullet," he went on unconcern- ed. "There is somebody at the door, Tab. You had better go and explain x'e have had another attack of burg- aritis." Tab was gone some ten minutes, quieting the tenants of the flats. When ,he returned he found Carver examiing the track of the second bullet, which had struck the lower window sash 'and which had drilled a neat little hole. "Probably hit the wall •opposite," said Carver, squinting through. "The man below found this on the stairs," said Tab. It was a small green -handled knife in a lacquered scabbard. "Pseudo -Chinese," said Carver. "It may even be the genuine article." He pulled out. the knife, tested the razor - like edge. "And sharp," he' added. "I had an idea he didn't mean to use his gun." "Now," said Tab, facing the detec- tive squarely, "we will dispense with all light and airy persiflage and come down to sober affidavits. You ex- pected this attack. That is why you came to -night with your fake story of a literary -minded nephew." "I did and I didn't," said Carver frankly. "When I told you that the attack would be made on me I half believed it, but as I couldn't find an excuse for getting you to stay with me, 'and, moreover, as I have no ac- commodation for a man of your lux- urious habits, I decided on the whole I'd take a chance by staying here." He looked at his watch. "Two o'clock, he said. "He must have come about a quarter of an hour ago, and I will give him this credit, that I did not hear the door open. Fortunately there was a clothes hook behind the door, and some time or other you hung an old hat there. It was hear• ing this hat fall that made me re- alize that either I was growing deaf or else the stealthy personage was unusually soft -footed. lie must have seen first my cigar, and then my outline as I rose, for, like a fool, I hadn't pulled the settee away from the window. He was back in the lobby in a flash, and before I knew what had happened he had fired twice -slammed the door and gone. He was still in the hall when I went out, but it was so dark that I could see nothing."1 "I thought II heard the door first." "Because you were asleep," smiled the detective, "and you hear the last sound first. No, I will give you a guarantee that he shot at me before he shut the door." His eyes narrow- ed. "I wonder," he said softly. "What?'" "I wonder if your friend has had a duplicate of this attack? Where is he staying?" "I think we ought to warn him, any- way," said Tab. "Our visitor came in the first place to burgle Rex's trunks, and probably he doesn't know that Rex i$n't Staying here. He is at the Pitts Hotel." Carver got the telephone directory and discovered- the number. It was some time before he had an answer �t- tr, 6t pectple-yy bo, cas onally 'ehranicP, j, ,1nOnl baa, sourness and inda.glatten,, have • now discontinued' d'isagrre 1e, diets, p t- ent foods and the use sif harmful drugs,stomach tOntcs,.''medieinex end artificial digestants, and instead, .fop.. lowjng the adviee 'so •often given in these columns, take, a teaspoonful or four tablets!

Presently he got in- to touch with a porter. "I don't know whether he is stay- ing here, but I will find out," said the official. It was ten minutes before he had made the discovery. "Yes, he is in Room 180. Shall I put you through?" "If you please," said Carver. He heard the click and clug of the con- nection being made, and after an appreciable delay Rex's sleepy voice answered him. "Hullo! who is that? 'What the devil do you want ? " "I'll talk to him," whispered Tab, and took the received from the de- tective's hands. "Is that you, Rex?" "Hullo! who is that -Tab? What's the idea?" "We have had a visitor," said Tab. "You remember I told you about the burglar? Well, he came again to- night." "The devil he did." "In fact, weave turned the old flat into a shooting gallery," said Tab, "and( Carver wonders whether you have had a similar experience." "Not I," was the cheerful reply. "It is as much as a man's life worth to wake me out of my sleep." Tab grinned. "Keep your door locked." "And my telephone receiver off," said the other. "I'll let you know if anything happens. Is Carver there." "Yes," said Tab. Carver went to the 'phone. "He wants to speak to you." 'Carver had made a signal, and now he took the receiver in his hand. "I am sorry you have',been disturb- ed, Mr. Lander;" he said, "but I'd like you to know 'officially that we warn you that an attempt has been made to get into this flat at -well, ten min- utes ago. What time would that :be." "That would be about a quarter to two, I guess," said Rex's voice. "Thank you for telling me, Inspec- tor, but I am not at all scared." Carver put the receiver on the hook and rubbed his hands. "Do you think they will go there? What on earth is amusing you?" ask- ed Tab irritably. "I am intensely amused, I admit," said Carver, "at the queer, simple and tragic error that our murderer made." Early in the morning Carver call- ed at the Pitts Hotel and personally interviewed a sleepy-eyed Rex, who sat up in bed in violently striped py- jamas, and expostulated with com- mendable mildness upon the interrup- tion to his night's sleep. "I am one of those people," he said severely, "who require at least twelve hours' heavy slumber. Heav- en having endowed me with the means whereby I can gratify my wishes in this respect, it is a little short of an outrage that Tab and you should call me up even to tell me that the flat has been burgled again." Reporting his interview on his re- turn to the flat, Carver offered a ew remarks on the 'vagaries of scu- line fashions, particularly in r ation to pyjamas, and came 'hack at a tang- ent to the very serious events the past twelve hours. "I think you'll be all right to-ni he said. "At any rate I am leav you to your own devices. Bolt e door and .put a trip wire ibe.twee a couple of chairs." "Oh, nonsense!" said Tab. "He will not come again to -night." Carver scratched his chin. "What is to -night?" "Saturday." "The fatal Saturday, eh?" he said. "No, perhaps not.

Tab had had no intention' of alarm- ing ,Ursula, and he could make that promise without reservation. XXXI She came to Doughty 'Street and picked him up, and they were at Stone Cottage in time for lunch. The weather was still unsettled, but Tab had passed the stage where weather made any difference to him. Though he did not tell her of his sensational experience he did mention his dream. "Ursula," he asked, "you like Yeh Ling, don't you? So do I, as a mat- ter of fact ,but do you absolutely trust him?" She considered 'before she spoke. "Yes, I think I do," she said. "He has been a most faithful friend. Think Tab, without my knowledge, all these years he has been watching over me. I should he a mast ungrateful' girl if his loyalty did not move me." Tab thought that there might be some other explanation of Yeh Ling's devotion, but wisely said nothing. "Do you know," she said, "that he keeps a man watching, this house day and night? I only discoveredit by accident when I was engaged in re- volver shooting. Perhaps Yeh Ling told you that I nearly shot one of his sentinels." "He is a strange man," admitted Tab, "but my dream rather impressed me-" "Even the first part of your dream hasn't come true yet,". she suggested demurely, and he picked her up in his arms there and then. Happily the so -easily scandalized Mr. 'Turner was engaged elsewhere. Tab's heart was full of love and gratitude when he left her in the sweet-smelling dusk and mounting his bicycle, which he had 'brought strap- ped to the 'back of Ursula's car, started on his leisurely way home. Half way he had a puncture which delayed him, and it was nearly ten o'clock when he wheeled the machine into the garage where it was main- tained. The last part of the journey was made through a heavy driving rain and he was wet through by the time he reached Doughty Street. A hot bath and a change of cloth- ing brightened him and he was filling his cigarette -case preparatory to go- ing out to take a meal when' he was called to the telephone. He expected to be greeted by Carver, but it was Rex who was speaking and his voice was eager and urgent. "Is that you, ' Tab? My boy, I've made the most wonderful discovery!" "What is that?" asked Tab, won- dering. "You are not to breathe a word to Carver, you understand, Tab? This is the most extraordinary discovery Tab!" His voice shook. "I have found out how the murder was com- mitted!" "The Trasmere murder?" "Yes," came the quick reply. "I know how the man got in and out of the vault. I was in there this after- noon inspecting the work that has been done, and I found it 'by accident. It is all so simple, Tab, how the key got on to the table and . ev- erything. Can you meet me at May- field?" "At Mayfield?" "I'll be waiting outside the door for you. I don't want any of Carver's men to see us." "Why not?" asked' Tab. • "Because," said Rex's voice delib- erately, "Carver is in this murder up to his neck." Tab nearly dropped the receiver from his hands. "You are mad," he said. "Am I? You shall judge for your- self. And Yeh Ling is in it -hur- ry!" Tab ran to the larder and pushed a handful of biscuits into his pocket, put on his raincoat, and went out in- to the vile night, his mind in a state of chaos. Carver! And Yeh Ling was in it too! The wind had risen and half a gale swept through the deserted Peak Avenue as he strode along to the house of mystery. life did not see Rex until he passed through the gate. That young man was standing under the shelter of the portico by the door. Nearby in the concrete yard Tab saw a car. "We'll find our way on in the dark. I've got a pocket lamp," he whisper- ed, and Tab stepped into the dark deserted hall, with its fusty scent and its strangely oppressive atmos- phere of decay and neglect. Rex's voice was tremlblin,g with ex- citement. "We can put the lights on after we get into the corridor," he said. He found his way across the room by the light of the lamp, unlocked the door and led the way into the passage. "Shut that door, Tab," he hissed and when Tab had obeyed he turned on all the lights. Near to the end of the corridor Tab saw a great heap of bricks and a board covered with mortar; the work of 'bricking up the vault had begun, and the first course stretched across the open doorway of the vault. Rex stepped over the brickwork and illuminated the empty interior. "There!" said 'Rex trivanphantlyi and pointed to the table. "What is it?'" asked Tab in amaze- ment. "Hold both sides of the table and pull." Mrs. William Brown Suffered With Kidney and Bladder Trouble.
