As the hours passed without an

His heart sank dismally.
It occurred to him that she Might

made haste to put all the money he

In an hour he found 'it back in his

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,

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-

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-

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

He looked about him. 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
