No wonder this potentate eeculte over his. good. luck and promises the Germans a rich and happy fixture. The reeourees of the territory he has taken from Russia are of fabulous value.

As for the eausee of th trageay, the mystery wee only deep oiled, No amount of speculation fu nishad Neil with a plausible hypo thesis to account for the connectiol between the hard -fisted, prosperon peasant and the fine-draern girl i whose room he had found the man.' body. Neil observed with a sIckness of th heart that the conspicuous diamont wont to decorate the fat third tinge was Missing. Hardly any need to loo if the great roll of Mlle he wits fon of displaying was gone, too, I3ut Neil lied work to do atilt, an was compelled to defer his specula tions or the time being. Shutting 1101 what waa left of his landlord in hi closet, he Went back to the girl's room with scrtibbing-brush and pail. Id afterwards swept the hall, to remote daunsytevidences of scraping heels ine. the No one disturbed the top floor tiur ing these operations. As the hours passed without an sign of the girl, a heavy anxiety at tacked Neil. Of course she could no be expected to sleep in that room What could she do throughout the night? What afoot he had beet no to think of that before and to pro vide for it! He had not even theught to arrange for another meeting! Sup- pose she gave him the slip altogether? His heart sank dismally. It occurred to him that she Might still visit her little box below, so he made haste to put all the money he had in an envelope, barring enough to buy bread for a few days; and drop- Pedelt in her letter box. In an hour he found 'it back in his • wive box, with a scrap of a note: Truly I have enough for my needs. I have method, a check. Do not troub- le about me. . Neil walked up and down his little room, making and discarding itinum- erable plans of action. He recalled. all the muraer mysteries he had known of, both solved and unsolved, and criticised the technique ot the criminals. Fiction dealing with crime he mostly passed, over; in novels the long arm of coincidence was gener- ally invoked, and he couldn't depend onlitehahta. d a stubborn fact to contend --- with-nearly two hundred pounds stubborn, He told himself with a cer- more tain pride that his problem was ifficult than any he had over read of. He had neither a bath, a furnace, a trunk or a cellar, those time-honored expedients of persons with a body on their hands. It started to ram in earnest, and his heart lifted. RaM would help him en- ormously. He did not see the girl Late, in the afternoon he had a blow as he was returning from a trip down • town to buy what he needed for his plan, ha found a strange man in the girl's room. It proved to be a dealer in second-hand furniture, who had bought her cot, her chest of drawers and her chair. She i had gone, and without telling hint! He sought in his own mind for. arguments, to explain it, but the very heavy sense of ingratitude remained. However, the business had to be carried through just the same. Night found hike ready with a coil of light rope and a bunch of common house - keys that he had bought for a few cents from a junk dealer. His plan, like all well -considered plans, was exceedingly simple, From the street he hacl observed by a sign In the window that the top floor front of No. 1e, four doors down, was vac- ant. While the world was asleep he meant to haul the- body up through the skylight, drag it with infinite care across the intervening roofs and lower it into the vacant room. It would be necessary for him to enter the vacant room to open the skylight, and again to close it and to remove the rope. Sueh rooms are generiilly left open when vacant, but in any ease he had the keys. 14e trusted to the rain to keep other tenants from seeking air on the roof that night, and also to wash out any marks of his progress. At eleven o'clock Neil had the sat- isfaction of seeing the crack of light disappear from under the Old Codger's door. Shortly thereafter he heard the well-known eound of his snore:* This was Itis cue to put things in motion. Neil's. only doubt was whether he would• be able to haul that weight all the way from the floor to the skylight. Anetbing in the nature of tackle was out of the Miestion. Ile determined .btotioilr,a.ise it as far as he could from ' He therefore split up his trestle into two parts, superimposed the smaller on • the larger, ea, put a chair on top ot all. Little by little, with infinite pains, he managed to get the body on the first then to the second, and fin- ally int the chair: During the•progress of thee grisly and strenuous labors he kept up his heart, as men do in des- jpeesrtaintei.cases, by a species of grim "Up you go, old man! Our last ride together! Heave hol Pull yourself to - together, old top; you're all over the place! There! I didn't Mean to bash Mir face! It's all the same to you, isn't It? You're good-natured now, all right! Once more, an together -up you go! I'm helping you to heaven as far are I ean!" The rope was alreadit tied under his arms. • When he got him athwart the cheer Neil opened the skylight and, tossing the end of the rope up on the roof, elimbed after it. The sky wept softly on the tin roofs. The tall loft -buildings with their in- nitmerable shuttered windows rose like great, pale cliffs, It was not as dark as the adventurer could have Washed for the street lights were reflected kelt from the pinkish, low -hanging clouds, and the wet tin glimmered wanly, But it Was as solitary as any spot in the five boroughs at that mo- ment Nell had taken a preliminary aurvey of the vette and knew his way.

Alongside the door into the hall, just as in his own room, there was another door giving on a clothes -closet. Under that door had crept a thin, blackish -red trickle, which ended in a little black pool. At such moments a man does not think. A whole set of ordinary unrecogniz- ed impulses came into play. With a gasp he involuntarily threw open the door. He was already prepared for what was inside. He did not cry out, nor even start back; he only looked with eyes fixed with horror. A dead man lay on his back on the floor in a grotesque attitude, like a wooden doll; his heels elevated among the girl's dresses hanging there, his arms oddly twisted, his glistening bald crown pointing toward Neil. A towel nad been dropped underneath. It had ceased to flow. Neil did not care to lift' the towel. It was the body of a heavy, middle - 3,200,000 aged man.
