FIFTH INSTALLMENT
ON THE RACK.
CHAPTER XII.
For the moment a new element had
been Introduced into the horror of the
little tableau. All eyes were fixed upon
Quest, who listened to the Inspector's
dubious words with a supercilious
emile upon his Ups.
"Perhaps," he suggested, "you would
like to ask me a few questions?"
"Perhaps I may feel lt my duty to
do so," the inspector-replied gravely.
"In the first place, then. Mr. Quest,
will you kindly explain the condition
f your clothes?"
Quest shrugged hts shoulders.
"Here" you are, then," he replied.
"This morning I decided to make an
attempt to clear up the mystery of
Macdougal's disappearance. I sent on
my secretary. Miss Laura, to make
friends with the section boss, and
Lenora and I went out by automobile
a little later. We instituted a search
on a new principle, and before very
long wo .found Macdougal's body.
That's one up against you, I think, in*
epector."
"Very likely," the inspector ob
aerved. "Go on, please."
"I left the two young ladles, at Mu?
Lenora's wish, to superintend the re
moval of the body. I myself had an
'engagement to deliver over her jew
ela to Mrs. Rheinholdt here at mid
day*. I returned to where my automo
bile was waiting, started for the city
and was attacked by two thuga near1
the section house. I got away from
them, ran to the tower house to try 1
and stop the freight, waa followed by
the thugs, and jumped out on to the
last car from the signal arm."
"Where 1B your automobile?"
"No Idea," Quest replied. "I left lt
tn the road. When ' .ped from the
freight car I took a ..'.cab to the pro
fessor's and caliea for him, aa ar
ranged."
The inspector nodded.
"I shall have to ask you to excuse
me for a moment," he said, "while I
ring up number ten signal tower. If
Mr. Quest's story receives corrobora?
tlon the matter ia at an end."
The inspector left the room almost
immediately.
When he returned he was looking
graver than ever.
"Quest," he announced, "your alibi
la useless-In fact, a little worse than |
uaelesB. The operator at number ten i
has been found murdered at the back
ot the tower!"
Quest started.
"I ought not to have left him to
those thugs," he murmured regret
fully.
"There ls no automobile of yours in
the vicinity," the Inspector continued^
"nor any newa of lt I think lt will be
as well now. Quest, for thia matter to
take ita obvious cours?. Will yon.
first of all, hand over her jewels to
Mri. Rheinholdt?"
Quest drew the keya of the safe
from his pocket, crossed the room and
?rung-open the safe door. For a mo
ment afterwards he stood transfixed.
Iiis arm, half outstretched, remained
motionless. Then ho turned slowly
around.
"The jewels have been stolen," ho
announced with unnatural calm.
The Inspector laid hia hand heavily
Upon Quest's shoulder.
"Ton will kindly consider yourself
under arrest. Quest. Ladles and gen*
Gemen, will yon clear the room now,
If yon please. The ambulance I tele
phoned for la outside,"
. The professor, who had been look
ing aa though dazed? suddenly Inter
vened.
Kr. French." he aatd earnestly, 1
am convinced that you are making a
great mistake. In arresting and tak
ing away Mr. Queat yon are removing
from us the one man who la likely lo
be able to clear op thia mystery."
The Inspector puabed him gently
to one side.
"Ton will excuse me, professor," he
said, "bot tn i ia no matter tor argu
ment. If M r Quest can dear himself,
no one will be more glad than 1."
Quest shrugged his shoulders.
..The Inspector will have Ma little
joke," he observed dryly, "lt'a all
right, girl*, Keep cool," he went oe,
aa he saw tho tears in Lenora's eyes.

"Come round and Bee me In the
Tombs, one of you."
The ambulance men came and de
ported with their glim burden, the
room on the ground floor was locked
and sealed, and the house waa soon
empty except for the two girls. To
ward three o'clock Lenora went out
and returned with a newspaper. She
opened it out upon the table and they
both pored over it.
" 'Justice Thorpo bas refused to con
sider ball!' He's a guy, that Justice
Thorpe, and BO'B the idiot who wrote
this stuff!" Laura exclaimed, thrust
ing tho paper away from her. "I
guess the professor was dead right
when he told French he was locking
up the ono man who could clear up
|tbe whole show."
Lenora nodded thoughtfully.
"The professor spoko up like a
.man," she agreed, "but Laura, I want
to ask you something. Did you notice
?his servant-that man Craig?"
"Can't say I did particularly," Laura
admitted.
"Twice," Lenora continued, "I
thought he was going to faint. I tell
you be was scared tbe whole of the
time."
"What" are you getting at, kid?"
'Laura> demanded.
"At Craig, If I can." Lenora replied,
moving toward tho telephone. "Please
give mo the phototelesme. I am
'going to talk to the professor."
Laura adjusted the mirror to the In
'strument and Lenore, rang up. The
professor hlmseii answered the call.
"Have you seen the ^hree o'clock
edition, professor," Lenora asked.
"I never read newspapers, young
lady." the professor replied.
"Let me tell you what they say
about Mr. Quest!"
Lenora commenced a rambling ac
count of what she had read in the
newspaper. All the tima the eyes of
the two girls were fixed upon the mir
ror. They could see the professor
seated In his chair with two huge vol
?mes by his side, a pile of manuscript,
and a pen In bis hand. They could
even catch the look of sympathy on
his face as he listened attentively. Sud
denly Lenora almost broke off. She
gripped Laura by the arm. The door
of the study had been opened slowly,
and Craig, carrying a bundle, paused
for a moment on the threshold. He
glanced nervously toward the profes
sor, who seemed unaware of his en
trance. Then he moved stealthily to
ward the fireplace, stooped down and
committed something to the flames.
The relief on his face, as he stood up,
was obvions.
"AU I can do for Mr. Quest, young
lady, I will," the professor promised.
He laid the receiver <Jown and the
"Tho Jewels Have Been Stolen 1" .
reflection on the mirror faded away.
Lenora started np and hastily ont on
her coat and hat, which were still ly
ing on the chair.
"I am going right down to the pro
fessor's," she announced. ?
"What do yon think yon caa do
there?" Laura asked.
1 am gofos to see If I can find ont
what that man burned," aka replied.
"I will be back In an hour"
Laura walked with ker as far as tho
i street car, and very soon afterward
! Lenora fonnd herself knocking st the
professor's front door. Craig admitted
her almost at once. For a moment he
seemed to shiver as he recognised her.
\ "Well, yonae lady," th?? professor
i said, "have you thought of something
.I can do?"
! Sae took uo notion of the chair to
j which ho pointed, and rested her band
upon his shoulder.
. "Professor," she begged, "go and see
.Mr. Quest! He ts In the Tombs prison.
?ft would keiths kindest thing anyone
; could possibly do."
. The professor glanced regriitfu?ly at
Skis mahuscrapt, but hs did not best
tats. He rose promptly to hts feet
"If you think he would appreciate
lt, I will go at once." he decided. ,
Her face shone with gratitude,
; "That ta really kind of yon, profes
sor," sh? declared 'M'unit
"I wi!! Bend for my coat and wa wffl
go together. If you like," he suggested.
She smiled.
. "I am going the other way, back to
'Georgia aquare," she explained. "No,
please don't ring. I can find my own
way put,**
She hurried from the room. Outside
In the hall she paused for a moment,
listening with beating heart. By the
side wall was a bat rack with branch
ing pegs, from which several coats
were banging. She slipped quietly be
hind their shelter.
A moment or two later she heard
the professor leave tho house. Very
cautiously ahe stole out from her hid
ing nlace. The hall was empty. She
ero BB ed lt with noiseless footsteps,
slipped Into the study and moved
stealthily to the fireplace. There was
a little heap of ashes In one distinct
Bpot She gathered them up In her
handkerchief and secreted lt in her
dress and quietly left the bouae.
At Georgia square she found Laura
walting for her, and a few minutes af
terward the two girls were examining
tho ashes with the aid of Quest's mi
croscope. Among the little pile was
one fragment at the sight of which
they both exclaimed. It was distinctly
a shred of charred muslin embroidery.
.Lenora pointed toward lt triumphant
ly.
"Isn't that evidence?" she demand-1
ed. "Let's ring up Inspector French!"
Laura shook her bond doubtfully.
"Not so fast," she advised. "French
ls a good sort in his way, but he'a
prejudiced just now against the boss.
I'm not sure that this evidence would
go far by Itself."
"It's evldenco enough for us to go to
Craig, though! Wh.?.'t we have got to
do is to get a confession out of him,
somehow!"
Laura studied her companion, for a
moment, curiously.
"Taking some Interest in Mr. Quest,
kid, ain't yon?"
Lenora looked up. Then her head
suddenly sank into, her hands. She
knew quite well that her secret had
escaped her. Laura patt?d her shoul
der.
"That's all right, child," she said
soothingly.' "We'll ree him through
this, somehow or other."
"Laura," exclaimed Lenora, "we will
eave Mr. Quest and we will get hold
of Craig! I have a plan. Listen!"
CHAPTER XIII.
Craig's surprise was real enough
BS he opened the back door of the pro
fessor's house on the following morn
ing and found Lenora standing on the
threshold.
Lenora smiled pleasantly.
"I came to thia door," ehe said, "be
cause I wanted a little talk with you."
Craig's attitude was perfect. He was
mystified but he remained respectful.
"Will you come inside?" he invited.
She shook her head.
"I am afraid," abe confided, "of what
I arm going to any being overheard.
Come with me down to the garage
for a moment."
He opened the doors of the garage,
leaving the keys In the lock, and they
both passed Inside.
"You can say what yon please here
without the slightest fear of being
overheard, miss," Craig remarked.
Lenora nodded, and breathed a
prayer to herself. She was nrr.rer
the door than Craig by about half a
.dozen paces. Her hand groped in tho
little bag she was carrying and
gripped something hard. She clenched
her teeth for a moment. Then the
automatic pistol flashed out through
the gloom.
"Craig," she threatened, "If yon
move 1 shall shoot you."
! It seemed as though Gie man were
a coward. He began to tremble, hts
lips twitched, hie eyea grew larger
and rounder.
"What ia lt?" he faltered. "What
do you want?"
"Just this," Lenora aald firmly. "I
suspect yoh to be guilty of the crime
for which Sanford Quest is in prison.
I am going to have you questioned.
If you are innocent you have nothing
to fear.- If you are guilty there will
he someone here before long who wUl
extract the troth from you."
Tho man's face waa an epitome of
terror..- Even his knees shook. Lenora
'felt herself grow calmer with every
moment:
"I am going outside to aend a mes
sage," she told him. "I shall return
presently."
"Don't go," he begged suddenly.
."Don't leave mel I am Innocent. I.
have done nothing wrong. If yon keep
me here, you will do more barm than
yon can dream of."
"It ta for other people to decide
about your innocence." Lenora aald
calmly. "I have nothing to do with,
that. If you are wise you will atop
here quietly."
"Have yon aald anything to Mr.
Ashleigh, .miss?" Ute mau naked pite
ously.
"Not a word."
A expression ot relief shone for a
moment upon bia face. Lenora point?
ed to a stool.
"Sit down there end walt quietly."
she ordered.
Re obeyed without a word. Sh?
left the place, locked the door se
curely, and made her way round to the
other side of the garage-the sid?
hidden from the house. Here, nt the
fer corner, she drew a little pocket
wireless from her bag and set lt on
the window sill. Very slowly abe sent
her message:
I have Craig hare in the professor's
tarco?.; leeksd up. If eur plan ha*,
succeeded, come at once. I am walt
ina for you.
.There waa no reply. She seat the
message again and again. Suddenly,
during a paufK?. there was a little flash
upon tho plato. A message was com
lng to her. She transcribed lt with
beating heart:
O. K. Coming.
/.......
The guard swung open the wicket
In front of Quest's ceil.
"Young woman to eco you. Quest,"
he announced. "Ten minutes, and no
loud talking, please."
Quest mored t- the bars, lt was
Laura who stood there. She wasted
.very little time in prellmlnsrics. Hav
ing satisfied herself that the guard
was out of hearing, she leaned as close
as she could to Quest
"Look here," she said, "Lenora's
crazy with the Idea that Craig has
done these Jobs-Craig, the proies* j
sor's servant, you know. We used the
phototelesme yesterday afternoon end
saw bim burn something 'in the pro
fessor's study. Lenora went up
straight away and got bold of the
ashes."
"Smart girl," Quest murmured, nod
ding approvingly. "Weill '
"There are distinct fragments,"
Laura continued, "of emin olde; ed stuff
euch as the Salvation Anny girl might
if a WT
m ip *
"ti You Move 1 Shall Shoot Youl"
have been wearing. We put them on
ono side, but they ain't enough evi
dence. Lenora's Idea ls that yon
should get bold of Craig and hypnotise
him into a confession."
"That's all right," Quest replied
"but how am I to got hold ot htm?"
Laura glanced once more carelessly
around to where the guard stood.
"Lenora's gone up to the professor's
again this afternoon. She is going to
try and get hold ot Craig and lock him
in the garage. If she succeeds, she
will send a message by wireless at
three o'clock. It ls half-past two
now."
"Well?' Quest exclaimed. "Well?"
"Yon can work this guard, If yon
want to," Lenora went on. "I have
?nen you tackle worse cases. He seems
dead easy. Then let mo in the cell
take my clothes and leave me here.
Quest followed the scheme In his
mind quickly.
"It ls all right." he decided, "but
nm not at all eure that they can realty
hold me on the evidence they have
i got. If thev ?*~n't, I .shall be doing my
self more harm than good in this
way."
"It's no use unless you can get hold
of Craig quickly," Laura ssld. "He ls
getting the scares, as lt ls."
"lil do lt." Quest decided. "Call tho
guard, Laura."
She obeyed. The man came good
naturedly toward them?
Quest looked at him steadfastly
through the bars.
"I want you to come Inside for
moment," Quest repeated softly. "Un
look the door, please, take the key off
your bunch and come inside."
. The man hesitated, h Jt all the time
his Angers were : fumbling with the
keys. Quest'c Hps continued to move.
The wsrder opened the door and . en
tered. A few minutes later Quest
passed the key through the window
Laura, who was standing on guard.
, Without a word, and with marvelous
rapidity, the chango was effected
Laura produced from her handbag
wig, which she pinned inside her hat
and passed over to Quest. Then she
flung herself on to the bed and drew
the blanket up to her chin.
"How long rill he stay like ttatr
she whispered, pointing to the warder,
who was sitting on the floor with hla
arms folded and his eyos c?ored.
"Half and hour or so," Quest an
swered. "Don't bother about him.
shall drop the ker hack through the
window."
Quest reached Georgia square
five minutes to three. A glance u
and down assured him that the boase
was unwatched. Ho let himself
with bis own key. threw Laura's
clothes off, and, after a few momenta*
hesitation, selected from the ward
robe a rough tweed suit-with a thick
luting and ispefs. Jnst as be waa
tying bis tie, the little wireless which
be had laid on the table at his side
began to record a messsge. He glanced
at the clock, lt was exactly tL-ee.
Quest's eyes ibone tor a moment
with satisfaction. Then be sent
his answering message, put on a d
ter and slouch hat, and left the hons?
by the side entrance. In a few mo
ments lie was in Broadway, and
quarter of an hour later a taxicab d<
posited bim at tb? entrance to the
peorV-eKorV house. TT? walked awffTTy .
up thc drive and turned toward the !
garage, hoping every moment to see
something of Lenora. The door of the
place stood open. He entered and
walked around. It was empty. There
was no sign of either Craig or Le
nora! . . .
Quest recovered from his first dis
appointment, stole carefully out and
made a minute examination of the
place. Close to the corner from which
Lenora had sent her wireless message
to him, he stooped and picked up a
handkerchief, which from the marking
he recognized at once. A few feet
away the gravel was disturbed as
though by the trampling of several
feet. He set his teeth.
"I've got to find that girl," he mut*
tered. "Craig can go to h--1!"
He turned away and approached the
house. Tb \ front door stood open
end he mau? hts way at once to the
library. The professor, who was sit
ting at his desk surrounded by a pile
ai books and papers, addressed him,
as he entered, without looking up.
"Where on earth hawe you been,
Craig?" he Inquired petulantly. "I have
rung for you s?.t times. Have I not
told you never to leave th : pisco with
out orders?" .
"It ls not Crslg," Quest replied quiet
ly. "It is I, professor-Sanford Quest."
The professor swung round In his
chair and eyed his visitor In blank
astonishment.
"QueBt?" he exclaimed. '*God bless
my soul! Have they let you out al
ready, then?"
"! came out." Qur.3*. replied grim
ly. "Sit tight, and liston to mo for a
moment, will you?"
"You came out?" tho professor re
peated, looking a little dazed. "You
mean you escaped?"
Quest nodded.
"Perhaps I made a mistake," he ad
mitted, "but here I sn.. Now listen,
professor." And he toll tho story of
the last few hours.
The professor's faco was almost piti
ful In ita blank amazement. His
mouth was wide open like a child's,
woruB seemed absolutely denied to
him. He rose to his feet, obviously
a tremendous effort to adjust his
ideas.
"Craig locked up in my garage?"
he murmured. "Craig guilty of thoBe
murders? Why, my dear Mr. Quent,
a more harmless, a more inoffensive,
peace-loving and devoted servant than
John Craig never trod this earth!"
"Maybe," Quest refiled, "but where
is he?"
The professor could do nothing but
look around him a little vaguely.
"I am going back." Quest announced.
"My only chance ls the wireless. If
Lenora ls alive or at liberty, she will
communicate with me."
"May I come, too?" the professor
asked timidly.
"Come by all means," Quest assent
ed. "I will drive yon ?own in your
car, if you like." ,
The professor hurried away to get
his coat and hat, and a few minutes
later they started off. In Broadway
they left tho car at a garage and
made their way up a back street which
enabled them to enter the house at
the side entrance. They passed up
stairs Into the sitting-room. Quest
fetched the pocket wireless and laid lt
down on the table. The professor ex
amined it with interest
"You ar- marvelous, my friend,"
he declared. "With all these resource
of science at your command lt scorns
incredible that you should be in the
position you are."
Quest nodded coolly.
"Just one moment, professor, while
I send off a message, he ssid, open
ing the little instrument "Where are
you. Lenora?" he signaled. "Send me
word and I will fetch you. I am in my
own house for the present Let me
know that you are safe."
The professor leaned back, smoking
one of Quest's excellent cigars He
waa beginning to show signs of the
liveliest Interest
"Quest," he said. "I wish I could in
duce you to dismiss this extraordinary
supposition of yours concerning my
servant Craig. The man has been with
me for the best part of twenty years.
He. saved my life in South America;
wo have traveled in all parta of the
world. He has proved himself to he
exemplary, a .-lthful and devoted
servant.".
"Then perhaps you will tell me,"
Quest suggested, "where he ls now,
ano why he has gone away? That
does not look like complete innocence,
does lt?"
The professor sighed.
"I cannot atay here much longer, un
less I mean to go back to the Tombs,"
Quest declared.
"Surely." the professor suggested
"your innocence will very soon be es
tabliehedr
"There is one thing which will hap
pen. without a doubt" Quest replied,
"Hy auto and the chauffeur will be di?
covered. I have Insisted upon inquir
ies being sent ont throughout the ststc
of Connecticut. They tell me, too,
that the police are hard on the scenl
of Red Gallagher and the other man
Unless they get wind of thia and sell
me purposely, their srrest will be th?
end of my troubles. To tell you thc
truth, professor," Quest concluded, "ll
ls not of myself I sm thinking at all
jost now. It la Lenora."
The professor nodded sympathet
.cally.
"The young lady who shot Cx&lg ni
In the garage, you mean? A pluck]
yoong woman she must be."
"She has a great many other goo?
qualities besides courage," Quest de
dared. "Women have not countet
for much with me, professor, np til
now, any more than tiley have done,
shoit! ! ?Muk, with yon, but I t?i yoi
frankly, if anyone has hurt a hair o
that girl's head I will bavo their lives
whatever tho penalty may be! It la.
for her sake-to And her-that I broke i
ont ot prison and that I am trying to
keep free. Tho wisest thing to do,
from my own point of view, would be.
-to give myself up. I can't bring my
self to do that without kuowlng what
has become of her."
i The professor nodded again.
' "A charming and well-bred young
woman she seems." he admitted. "I
fear that I should only be a bungler
in your profession, Mr. Quest, but if
there is anything I cnn do depend
?upon me. Personally, I am convinced
that Craig will return to me with1
nomo plausible explanation as to what
has happened."
i Quest, for the third or fourth time
moved cautiously toward tho window.
His expression suddenly changed. He
glanced suddenly downward, frowned
slightly.
"They're after me!" ho exclaimed.
"Blt still, professor."
He darted into his room and reap
peared again almost immediately. Tho
professor gave a gasp of astonish
ment at his altered appearance. His
tweed suit seemed to have been turned
Inside out. Tbero were no lapel* now,
and it was buttoned up to bis beck. He
wore a long white 'am-cn, a peaked
cap and a chlnplece of astonishing
naturalness bad transformed him in*o
the semblance of a Dutch grocer's boy.
"I'm off, professor," Quest whis
pered. "You shall hear from me soon.
I have not been here, remember!"
Ho ran lightly down the steps and
Into the kitchen, picked up a basket,
fll>ed lt haphazard with vegetables and
threw a cloth over the top. Then ho
made his way to the front door, peered
out for a moment, swung through it
on to the step, and, turning round,
commenced to belabor it with his fist.
Two plain-clothes men stood at the
end cf the street. A police automo
bile 'Jrew up outside the gate. Inspec
tor French, attended by a policeman,
stepped out. Tho former looked search
ingly at Quest.
"Well, my boy, what are you doing
here?" ho asked.
"I cannot answer yet," Quest re
plied, In broken English. "Ten min
uta already hav> I wasted. I have
knocked at all the doors."
French smiled.
"You run along home," he said, "and
tell your master that he had better
leave off delivering goods here for the
present"
Quest went off, grumbling. French
opened the door with a master key
and secured it carefully, leaving one of
bis men to guard it. He searched the
rooms on the ground floor and Anally
ascended to Quest's study. The pro
fessor was still enjoying his cigar.
"Say, where's Quest?" tl'.e Inspector
asked promptly.
"Have you let him out already?" the
professor replied, In a tone of mild
surprise. "I thought he was in the
Tombs prison."
The Inspector pressed on without
answering. Every room in the house
was ransacked. Presently ho came
back to the room where the professor
With.Marvelous Rapidity, the Change
Was Effected.
waa still sitting. His usually good
humored face was a little clouded.
"Professor," be began- "What's the
matter. Miles?"
A plain-clothes man from the street
bad come hurrying into the room.
"Say, Mr. French," he reported, "our
fellows have got bold of a newsie
down In the street, who was coming
slong 'way round the back and ssw
two men enter this house by the side
entrance, half an hour ago. One he
described exactly as the professor

French turned swiftly toward the
professor.
"Yon hear what this men says?"
lie exclaimed. Mr. Ashleigh, you're
Tooling me! You entered this boneo

The professor knocked the ash from

thing; like mirth in his eyes aa he
glanced np at the Inspector.
"M.-. French," he ssld, "Mr. Sanford

French turned impatiently away.
Suddenly a light broke in upon bim;

The professor smiled benignly.
