Down the stairway from the hell above floated the music of women's voicel. '

"Come, step back in here!" Ham- mond snapped. "We don't want every fool female in New York equaking her gossiping howd- off. Hurry up, Higgins. Put that light out above Mr. Warburtou."

Overhead there was a click. the doors of the electric elevator op- msite the stairway slipped Joiseleosly shut and, with a hum the empty car rose smooth- ly to the floor above.

Tiptoeing across the room. Hig- gins switched off the globe above the divnn. Then stepping aside to admit the little group into the 00b ridor leading to the rear of the ilouse. the butler closed the heavy door. ,

As they stood ‘In the dim PM!" sllgcway, there again came t0 John's ears the singing of the el- ectric elevator. s numbing hum like tho droning of rnyrieds of .wnsps. At the end of o few sec- onds the singing stopped, there wus another click, und the mur- mur of women's voices again seep =d through the massive walls.

As the entrance grill slmmmed shut. John pushed past the others ‘ind threw back the studded door. M the sound a. girl, ‘who was landing behind Higgins. turned.

"What is it?" she queried, searching their faces. "What has happened?" '

"It's your uncle. Anne." the sn- gineer explained, quietly. putting his arm around the girl's should- er. "He has ‘been ‘badly injured. O'Neil and II found him in his runabout before the door of this house."

"Where is he?" she exclaimed. "Why haven't I beedtold?" .Her_eyes, ihrown with streaks of beawn gold, followed John's glance aiJI he'll face smooth and deli- ciiiely tinted like rose- colored shell. turned tothe white of moth- iif-(JI-Dsiilfl.

"Uncle Charles, speak to me." ..-lie bueeeched, her supple, grace- iilll body bending over the collap- ,ed figure. With a start she drew back horrified.

“Oh. look at his fingieri" she

gasped. “Why don't you do some- iiiing‘! Why stand there and let iillii die?"

John had crossed over to the dlvun. and. taking the girl's long iuperlng hand, he gently raised hlsr beside him.

"Mrs. Hammond has sent for the doctor. dear," he measured her. "Whom did you call?" Anna turned m the older woman.

"Dr. Darnell. Ho ls uncle's reg- ular physician.

"But he lives away over on Riv- erside Drive," Anne objected. “Couldn't we stat that Doctor Leon- ard whose ofllce is along this street?"

"I tried bo call him." Beatrice lxnlliilled. "But he was out and iho few minutes longer won't mat- ier much. Also. under the circum- stances, ll hated to send for a =tranBe man, Dr. Darnell has un- Me's interests at heart."

Quick- ly Gmbam looked over his should- er at Anne. "You can see where some of the stuff has spilled on the which strap and drlled." he commented. "lif the whole shot had gone into his blood stream. it would have tinnliea him. There n no doubt. Miss lMason, that some one has tried to murder IIVIr. Warhurton."

Anne moved around to the head of the couch and, bending down stroked the unconscious man's temples.

“Isn't there something we can do for him?" she urged anxiously. "We can't let him ‘die. Oh, Mr. Graham isn't there something we can give him?"

"Yes. Send out to the drllE 810W for an ounce of potassium perman- ganate." the detective suzgested. Have it here so that if necessary. your physician can use it."

The girl passed beside the divan and reached out to press a button to the right of the fireplace.

"I'll ring for Higgins and have

him go for it," she declared. "Just a minute. Miss livlason." O'Neil interposed. "l wish you

would send one of the other sen ante. I wont Mr. Graham to have a talk with Higgins. He acted queer. chief. and spilled some funny conversation as we brung Mr. Warburton in."

l"WelI,-of all the damned bunk." Hammond exploded, his puffy face crimson. “For Heaven's ‘sake, you don't expect Higgins of attacking his master, do you? He's a trusted servant." a Graham eyed the irate attorney. appraising him quietly. For a flash. his clear blue eyes narrowed as he turned to Anne Mason.

iCan you vouch for him. liliss lMason?“ he inquired.

“He and his wife who has a place as maid. came to us three months ago.” the girl replied. "Uncle told me Saturday, however, that. for some reason they are leaving tomorrow. ll suppose they are all right, but we really know nothing about them, except that they worked for some people in Greenwich named Rogers who r commended them well." * “Of course, they dId."

Tried simple home treatment and pain stops

An aching back le often the result of tired, over-strained muscles and can be given quick and complete relief with a very simple home treatment.

“I had such a backache I didn't: know what to do," writes a NewYol-k woman. "I looked throu h m medi- cine cabinet to see ii’ cou d find something to help mar-and there was a bottle of Sloan's Llniment. l it and in half an hour I was better. Tlie next day I went to a big en ge- ment party. Now, when anyone as a. pain, say ‘use S cop's.’ "

The _marveious eflectlvenesa of Sloan's is due to the atimulatin eflect that ii: has upon the circu tion. Straight to the sick, aching tissues, it; sends a healing tide of fresh new blood -_cieam out the trouble-Julia the pain.

Mrs. Rogers thought the world oi’ him. And all this notion that Uncle Charles was attacked and that this ‘butler knows anything is damned foolishness."

Graham had leaned back against the great antique table beneath the stairway. his eye followed in-

traced the design on the border oi the Oriental rug at his feet. Once. he shot a quick glance at Hammond from under his ‘bushy brows; thennppeared absorbed in the intriczioe design of the Oriental carpet. -.As the attorney finished his tirade. he looked up.

“You may be correct, Mr. Ham- mond." he said quietly. "But just the same, Higgins stays here with us. O'Neil siep- out side and tell the boys not to allow any one to leave this ilou-ae. Ami keep an eye on tllr. Warburtons runabout. Don't let any one tamper with it. "Aild, now, first oi’ all Miss Ma- son," the detective added, "will you please send one of the serv- ants to the drug store for some permanganate of potaslum. Give. hint this so that my men will let him our-of the zhoiise."

Taking a card from his pocket.‘ he hold it up against the wall. and hastily wrote s. few words across its white surface.

"And now. Miss Mason," i118 ad- vised, as he handed her the slip of cardboard, "Jim and Mr. ‘Ham- mond will take iMr. Wafburton to his room. Then will you put him to bed and keep the tourniquiet tight and bandage the stump? if Wu have some nux vomica, force thirtydrops of it in water down his throat and also some not coffee, Try to rouse him if possible. Don't take his clothes off and keep him wail oovened with blankets."

As the two men started with their burden aioross the room, An- na. moved beside them, holding up the mutilated hand. Halfway to Lilo elevator, Mr. Warburton strug- gled weakly to raise his head and a gasp like the stroke of n dried- IID Dilmp parted hi» blue lips.

"Careful. Miss iMason." Graham warned, following them to the ole vator. "Hold his finger so that the bleeding will not start again. Easy HOW. Harri-mond. you back in first.‘

Ginserly the two men deposited the‘ NIIBDHHI form on the blue plush bench at the back of the car. Folding the maimed hand over his cost, Anne turned and, reaching wwurd ii. switchboard on the. ion hund of the car. pressed a button marked "five." v

With a click. the glass doors ad- vanced smoothiy to meet one an- oiher, closing off from John's view the little group within. Then the light behind the panes tregan to glide upward slowly and a num-b- lng buzzing like a distant swarm of bees seeped softly through the walls.

As the oapaque doors of the ele- vator shaft faded from orange to dull. silly. Graham turned and, for a few moments, stared through. fully at the bloodeooked news- paper on the floor beside the div- all. As he stood there, stroking hie turned-up chin, m9 Qnginggr eyed him meditatively. With his high forehead. his straight, fine- molded nose and the sensitive lin- e's around his expressive mouth. the man seemed the type ol all intellectual. a speculative- thinker rather than a hunter of criminals or an investigator into the wrong. doings of this world.

The singing in the walls ceased. The detective gave a start and, rubbing his hand across hi; (on. bpud, sauntered along tuwgrd 111g vestibule. Swinging back the heavy IP01! Brill. he neared out of the en- trance steps.

Rapidly, John crossed to the win- dow and‘ looked down Into tllh street. Beneath the dim lamp, Graham was talking to a bulldog- appeering individual, emphasis; his orders iby striking one finger shove the other. Along the aide- walk. O'Neil was pointing out to a short dumpy man a passageway leading to tile beck of the house. Evidently the detective
