Pcfore he had finished the Fentenee,
Lane saw another way of ilight. The
apartment in front of Cunningham's
was out of reach of the fire-escape. Utit
the nearest window of the one te the
rear was closer. Beneath it ran n stone
ledge. An active man could swing him
self from the railing of the platform te
the coping and ferce an entrance into
that apartment through the window.
Klrby glanced up nnd down the alley.
A department store delivery nute was
moving out of sight. Nobody was In the
line of vision except an occasional
pedestrian passing en the sidewalk at
the entrance' te the nllcy.
"I'm genn.i take n whirl at it,"
Lane said, nodding toward the wludew.
"Hew much de they glve for burglary

dancing. "I'd klnda hate te sce you de

He looked at the ether papers. One
was the Times and another the News,

Each contained IetijJ accounts of the
developments in the Cunningham mur

Huriknwa and the Paradox janitor,
and the house servant had lied te parts

these papers here? And why? Seme
one. Lane guessed, who was vltallv in

presumption en one elreiimst.nnee. Tim
Sections of the newspapers which made
no reference te the Cunningham affair
had been jammed into the waste paper

"Well, we'd better telephone for the

followed by his friend. He was about
te reach for the receiver when nn ex ex

standing before a small writing desk

He hail lifted idly a picee of blotting
paper and was gazing down at n sheet of
paper with writing en it.
"Looky here, Kirby," he called.
In three strides Lane was belde him.
IJis eyes, tee, fastened en the sheet and
found there the netlmnka . i,....
lenrned te associate with Chlnese and
Japanese chirography.
"Shows he'd been'mnkln' himself nt

Lane picked up the paper. There
were two or three fhcets of the writing.

He was thinking. "I reckon I'll take

James looked as though he had net
slept well. His eyes were .shadowed !
und careworn. i
They walked tecethcr as far nn the ,
outer office. A slender, ilnrl.- v.iiin
woman, beautifully gewnpd. was wait

cousin nnd Sanborn as Miss Harriman.
She was. Kirby knew at once, the orig
inal of the photograph he had seen iii
lis uncle's rooms.
Miss Harriman was a vision of
sheathed loveliness. The dark, long
lashed eyes looked out at Klrby with
appealing wilfulness. When she moved,
tlm soft lines of her body took nn n
sinuous grace. Frem her personality
there seemed te emanate an enticing

She gave Kirby her little gloved hand. IC
