apartment. My laboratories are
quite on the other side of the city,
you know, but here on this old
square, where the aristocracy of
forgotten generations lived once
upon a time. I find the absolutely
different atmesphere which brings
relaxation.”
Barry followed his host through
a spaclous, old-fashioned dressing
room and bath to the bedroom at
the back.
Here, too, the professor paused
to pull down the shades and then,
opening a door at the right. dis-
played a modern kitchenette.
"This house, you perceive, must
once have been a family mansion,
but it has now been made ovr, an
apartment to each floor,” Professor
Semyonov explained "A shop of
hammered brasses and other atro-
cities occupies the street level, a

again, but there came no response,
only the steady glare of that garish
light and the banging from the en-
trance on the ground floor.
Professor Semyonov shrugged and
turned to descend still further, but
the sergeant grasped his arm.
"Thate only someone who heard
what we did—the officer upon this
beat, perhaps—and wants to inves-
tigate. Let him wait. If anything
is wrong in this house it is behind
that door! I'm going to assume re-
sponsibility for breaking it in. pro-
fessor. Stand back."
The door itself was a massive one,
but the lock evidently was old and
flimsy and at his third onslaught
it snapped with such suddenness
that he was almost precipitated into
the apartment.
A single glance sufficed to show
nine hand, but the room was empty
and its only illumination was that
Nt range ray of counterfeit sunlight
which streamed through an opened
door in the opposite wall, a dogr
which led evidently to that studio
built out over the strip of garden of
which the professor had spoken.
The still, hushed air was heavy
with a subtle, cloying perfume, but
mingled with it was a harsh, acrid
odor that was not new to the de-
tective, and he sprang across to the
doorway of the studio and then he
paused
Faking him upon a large easel
was the portrait of a woman in a
gray evening gown poised on the
third step of a staircase with one
slippered foot slightly advanced
and a hand of startling whiteness
upon which a large emerald biased
rested upon the dark, polished wood
of the balustrade. The painting

“You seem to be mighty comfort-

det active spoke as heartily as he
could and his host laughed out-

“That is the point!" he exclaimed.

was only half finished, but it was
indicated in broad splashes of color
and with the bold, sweeping lines
of the cartoonist, which rendered
the likeness unmistakable to any-
one familiar with the lineaments of!
those in the city’s highest society.
All this Barry took in with one
darting glance and then his eyes
traveled to the foot of the east I
and what lay there. It was they

masses of tawny hair scarcely dis-1
beveled by her fall and a spreading
stain upon the breast of her paint-

Kneeling beside it he gently rais-
ed the head, which rolled backward
in his hands and the curiously long,
narrow, half-opened eyes stared up
suddenly into his with a dull, un-
winking gaze

beside him. "She was at work when
the shot pierced her breast. See, I

"Frankly, I don't know.” Barry
responded “it is similar to that
Tudor affair at Sandy Cove last
summer—"
A sudden, sharp detonatioh burst
crackling upon tneir ears and both
men leaped to their feet and stood
for the fraction of a second staring
at each other. The professor's ner-
vousness had faller from him and
he spoke with the calmness •f fa-
