46998Now whence can this difference arise?
46998Or is the Cream of Tartar itself decomposed by too long boiling?
46998Or may it not be, with respect to Phosphorus, what the volatile sulphureous spirit is, with respect to Sulphur?

14474What happens?
14474Am I right in supposing that anybody here has played at snapdragon?
14474And going out, why?
14474And how are these candles made?
14474And what do you think the bulk of that water is when it assumes the vaporous condition?
14474And where does all this go?
14474And you might say,"It is nothing; it is not worth chemical attention; what does it do in the air?"
14474And, now that I have immersed it in spirit and applied a light to it, in what way does it differ from an ordinary candle?
14474But can it be steam?
14474But how does the flame get hold of the fuel?
14474But if I shut it off, what becomes of the lamp?
14474But is there nothing else there than nitrogen?
14474But then you have a right to ask me,"How is it that the air and the oxygen do not equally well burn the candle?"
14474But then, beyond that, how is it that the candle does not burn in air as well as in oxygen?
14474But what can this be which we find as the other constituent in water, and which must therefore be that substance which made the hydrogen burn?
14474But what is that black substance?
14474But what will you say when I tell you that my breath will put out that candle?
14474But why does it not burn in that way now, when it is lying in a mass?
14474But, now, what will you think of this fact?
14474By what?
14474Can we get it from the air?
14474Could you do that?
14474Did you see that brilliant light?
14474Do I get carbonic acid?
14474Do you not see that it is_ not_ in the inside?
14474Do you remember this kind of experiment?
14474Do you see that the water has become quite milky?
14474Do you see what happens?
14474Does not that shew you what a large bulk of matter is being evolved?
14474Have you ever seen it?
14474Here it is seeming to boil up famously; but does it boil?
14474How burned?
14474How comes it out of the candle?
14474How is it that this solid gets there, it not being a fluid?
14474How shall we get at this?
14474If I shut the air off, look how it smokes; and why?
14474If the carbon had been like the lead which I shewed you, or the iron which, in burning, produces a solid substance, what would happen?
14474Is it anything else?
14474Is it hydrogen?
14474Is it not beautiful to think that such a process is going on, and that such a dirty thing as charcoal can become so incandescent?
14474Is not that a very pretty experiment?
14474It evidently comes, as to part of it, from the candle; but is it within the candle beforehand?
14474Now, I have no doubt you will ask, how is it that the oil, which will not burn of itself, gets up to the top of the cotton, where it will burn?
14474Now, what is the circumstance which makes the lead and carbon differ in this respect?
14474Now, why is this?
14474Now, why is this?
14474Oxygen, as you will immediately imagine, exists in the atmosphere; for how should the candle burn to produce water without it?
14474Suppose I take this candle, and hold a piece of paper close upon the flame, where is the heat of that flame?
14474Suppose, in place of having nitrogen, or nitrogen and oxygen, we had pure oxygen as our atmosphere; what would become of us?
14474Then, what becomes of it?
14474There is our candle burning in the air: how will it burn in oxygen?
14474There it is standing over the water, and it can not therefore be steam, but must be a permanent gas of some sort What is it?
14474This is a very combustible substance; and if it be so combustible in air, what might you expect it would be in oxygen?
14474This is the first part of our experiment; and now, what follows?
14474We find one of these is hydrogen: what must that other be which was in the water before the experiment, and which we now have by itself?
14474What diamond can shine like flame?
14474What do you think of the contents of that box above there, which I have had made for the purpose?
14474What is all that smoke?
14474What is its nature?
14474What is set free when I put it in the water, as I am about to do again?
14474What shall we call it, A, B, or C?
14474What, then, are the comparative weights of these substances?
14474What, then, is happening?
14474When you have put the spirit into the dish, you have the cup and the fuel; and are not the raisins acting like the wicks?
14474Where, then, is this water which we get from a candle?
14474Why does a piece of potassium decompose water?

5094What does it mean?
5094What does it mean?
5094What have we here?
5094What is it, Rusty?
5094What is it, do you suppose?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is the trouble, Miss Dodge?
5094What luck?
5094What of this?
5094What seems to be the difficulty?
5094What seems to be the matter?
5094What shall I do?
5094What shall we do?
5094What shall we do?
5094What shall we do?
5094What time is it?
5094What was the matter?
5094What would Craig do?
5094What''s doing?
5094What''s that noise?
5094What''s that-- an oyster boat?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s the matter now?
5094What''s the matter, Walter?
5094What''s the matter, old man?
5094What''s the matter, old man?
5094What''s the matter?
5094What''s the matter?
5094What''s the trouble?
5094What''s this? 5094 When are we going to see the wonderful invention, Craig?"
5094When did this thing come on Walter?
5094Where am I?
5094Where are YOU going?
5094Where are they-- where''s the tramp?
5094Where are they?
5094Where are you going?
5094Where did it come from?
5094Where did you say you got that?
5094Where is Mr. Del Mar?
5094Where is the master?
5094Where there should have been seven million dollars,he muttered to himself,"why is there only a mystic ring?"
5094Where''s Elaine?
5094Where''s Elaine?
5094Where''s Elaine?
5094Where''s HE going?
5094Where''s the prisoner?
5094Which way did they take him?
5094Who goes there?
5094Who is it, do you think?
5094Who is this?
5094Who the deuce did this?
5094Who''s that?
5094Who''s that?
5094Why do n''t you have your fortune told by Ancient Anna?
5094Why not set it up in the library?
5094Why not-- down cellar?
5094Why, Craig,cried Elaine, startled,"what''s the matter?"
5094Why, how do you do?
5094Why, what did he say?
5094Why, what do you mean?
5094Why, what do you suppose he can want?
5094Why, what is the matter?
5094Why, what''s all this about?
5094Why, what''s the matter, Jameson?
5094Why, what''s the matter?
5094Why, where in the world did you get those togs?
5094Why,she gasped, clutching at the desk,"what is the matter?"
5094Why?
5094Will she always cross my path? 5094 Will you excuse me a moment?"
5094Will you go?
5094Wo n''t you come and stay with me a few days up in the country, dear?
5094Wo n''t you come in?
5094Wo n''t you take this ice?
5094Would she care to engage a magician?
5094Would you go?
5094Would you mind answering a few questions about these men?
5094Would you mind getting that torpedo ready?
5094Yes, I''ll see them,he said, then to us,"Please excuse me?"
5094Yes?
5094You are Professor Arnold''s man?
5094You have them here, then?
5094You just left them?
5094You knew me?
5094You know this fellow Del Mar?
5094You must infect every instrument the doctor uses on Kennedy and Jameson,--see?
5094You will excuse me?
5094You''ll join us at the Wilkeshire hunt in a paper chase this afternoon, surely, Mr. Del Mar?
5094You''ve got to get it, see?
5094And you?"
5094Are my things packed?
5094Are you ready?"
5094But was he there?
5094But what about the ring?
5094But what business of theirs was it?
5094But which way?
5094CHAPTER X THE CONSPIRATORS"You remember Lieutenant Woodward, the inventor of trodite?"
5094Ca n''t you follow them and keep them out of trouble?"
5094Can it be done?"
5094Could it be one of the sentries?
5094Do you want us all to get caught?"
5094Dodge, is n''t it?"
5094Excuse us, please?"
5094Had his plans been carried out?
5094Had she found anything?
5094Had that uncanny watching eye observed his every action?
5094Had the appointment been a hoax, after all, a scheme to get him away from the city for some purpose?
5094Had the man been after the other model?
5094How can we follow?"
5094How could he get into that room?
5094How''s that?"
5094I exclaimed,"What''s that?"
5094Is Miss Dodge at home?"
5094Jameson?"
5094Joshua says its haunts--""Haunts?"
5094Kennedy?"
5094Kennedy?"
5094M.''Now, what''s all that?"
5094Marie, will you look for it?
5094Shall I send for a doctor?"
5094Should he go out?
5094Suppose Craig is n''t about?
5094Then to the man, as he entered, he said,"Well, what''s new?"
5094Was Elaine there?
5094Was he merely torturing her, as a cat might torture a mouse?
5094Was he running off with her car while she was waiting inside the hotel?
5094Was he the automobile thief?
5094Was it an hallucination, born of my nervous condition?
5094Was it staring at him now in the blackness?
5094Was it the hideous helmeted face that had dragged her down into the sewer once?
5094Was it the work of human or superhuman hands?
5094Was she a clever actress, hiding her discovery, he wondered?
5094Was that Aunt Tabby''s"haunt"?
5094Was that all?
5094Was that face real, or a dream face?
5094Was this the end of their great expectations?
5094Was this the person he expected, or a"plant?"
5094Were Bennett''s millions merely mythical?
5094Were they under the floor?
5094What could he do?
5094What could it be?
5094What could they do?
5094What did it all mean?
5094What did it mean?
5094What did it mean?
5094What had he done?
5094What if it should go off?
5094What might at any moment be happening to Elaine-- and he powerless to help her?
5094What mischief was afoot?
5094What should he do?
5094What should he do?
5094What should she do?
5094What should she do?
5094What was it about?
5094What was it, I asked myself, that he should be so secret about it?
5094What was it?
5094What was it?
5094What was that roaring noise?
5094What''s it all about?"
5094Where was Craig?
5094Where was Del Mar?
5094Where was Elaine?
5094Where was Elaine?
5094Where was it?
5094Who could be below?
5094Who was he?
5094Who was this?
5094Who''s going to do this, if Walter and I do n''t?"
5094Who-- what was he?
5094Wo n''t you be seated?"
5094Wo n''t you sit down?"
5094Would Kennedy''s invention for which Del Mar had dared so much in the first place prove his final undoing?
5094Would they get him?
5094Would they never get it?
5094Would we be in time?
5094You understand?"
5094he demanded sharply,"what''s all this?"
5151A hound? 5151 A note?"
5151And do n''t butt in-- see?
5151And the pain?
5151And they''re gone?
5151And you really were-- put out by a kiss?
5151And you remember to whom you married me?
5151And you say they have no recollection of anything that happens?
5151And you think this Clutching Hand has never recovered the incriminating papers that caused him to murder your father?
5151And you-- you say-- you married this-- this woman to Taylor Dodge?
5151And, oh, do you know, the strangest thing happened yesterday? 5151 Another watch?"
5151Are there any operations going on now?
5151Are you all right?
5151Are you all right?
5151Are you hurt?
5151Are you sure?
5151Are you-- all right?
5151Are-- you willing-- to have your blood transfused?
5151Back?
5151But do you think that is all right? 5151 But suppose the door has no transom?"
5151But why did it work so effectively?
5151Ca n''t we drive you around?
5151Ca n''t we go on the ship, too?
5151Can I find a bloodhound about here?
5151Can you go with me now?
5151Care for it?
5151Chief,he whispered eagerly,"You know Adventuress Mary?
5151Did a car pass here, just now-- a big car?
5151Did you notice the number of the car?
5151Did you-- did you-- really-- love him?
5151Do it? 5151 Do n''t you know better than to try to help anybody without INVESTIGATING?"
5151Do n''t you understand?
5151Do n''t you understand?
5151Do you know why the servant allowed us to leave the apartment?
5151Do you realize how little you can really see through a key hole?
5151Do you see anything, Walter?
5151Do you see that table-- and all those papers? 5151 Do you?
5151Do?
5151Doctor,he asked slowly as he worked,"do you know of Professor Leduc of the Nantes Ecole de Medicin?"
5151Ever hear of Dr. Edward Reichert of the University of Pennsylvania and his wonderful discoveries of how blood crystals vary in different species?
5151Everything progressing favorably?
5151Give up the chase for the Clutching Hand?
5151Got what?
5151Has the watch purchased for Miss Elaine Dodge been delivered?
5151Have you read them?
5151Have you read them?
5151Have you the money there?
5151Have you the record?
5151Have you-- found anything?
5151Hey, you fellows-- what are you doing there?
5151How about Mary Carson?
5151How about those bracelet watches?
5151How are you this afternoon?
5151How can you tell anything by that?''
5151How did it happen?
5151How did it happen?
5151How do you do?
5151How do you know?
5151How do you propose to help me to escape?
5151How does it work?
5151How long has he known?
5151How''s that?
5151How''s the patient?
5151How?
5151How?
5151I know,I said somewhat nettled,"but what can you see through that putty blower?
5151I may write here?
5151I wonder whether I locked these windows?
5151I''ve rigged it so that you''ll reach him through Jameson, understand?
5151If it is really a bomb,I remarked,"why not put the thing out of commission?"
5151Indeed?
5151Is Jennings there?
5151Is he all right?
5151Is he in New York?
5151Is he sick, too?
5151Is it all right?
5151Is n''t it a beauty?
5151Is n''t it stunning?
5151Is n''t that fine? 5151 Is she-- going to-- die?"
5151Is that so?
5151Is that what you intend to do with me?
5151Is that you, Craig?
5151Is that you, Craig?
5151Is that you?
5151Is there anything I can do?
5151Is there nothing that can save him?
5151Is this it?
5151Is-- is there no other way but to surrender?
5151Lady,he disguised his voice,"will yer please ter call off the dog?
5151May I take Rusty along with me?
5151May I use your telephone?
5151Might I-- er-- see your room, Miss Dodge?
5151Miss Dodge, will you arrange that spark and throttle?
5151Miss Dodge,he added,"will you and the rest excuse me if I ask you to wait just a moment longer?"
5151Miss Dodge,he asked,"might I-- might I trouble you to let me see your arm?"
5151Miss Sears,he asked of one of the nurses,"will you bring me that hypodermic needle?
5151Miss Sears,he asked rather testily,"what have you done with the hypodermic and the scopolamine?"
5151Moisture-- cold?
5151Mr. Bennett,she exclaimed over the wire,"just guess who called on me?"
5151Mr. Jameson, please-- can''t I go with you?
5151Mr. Kennedy live here?
5151My gracious,cried Aunt Josephine, in alarm,"where will this thing end?"
5151No-- shall I?
5151No-- why?
5151Now, do you see what I have just thought of-- no? 5151 Oh, Mr. Kennedy, how can I ever thank you?"
5151Oh, why did I send him away? 5151 Patient?"
5151Remember you?
5151Say, bo,he asked of the rough fellow,"what does Clutching Hand want with her?
5151Say,blurted out the informer,"do you know Kennedy and Jameson are back?"
5151See that old boiler down there at the edge of the water? 5151 See that?"
5151See?
5151So that strikes your fancy?
5151Some new fandangled periscope arrangement, I suppose?
5151Tell me,Elaine cried,"Is there-- can there be anything in it?
5151That was n''t that way when we left, was it, Walter?
5151That? 5151 The motive?"
5151The way to do it is to separate Kennedy and Elaine-- see?
5151Then what did you telephone for?
5151Then you scrape the wire, just as you shave records to use it over again?
5151Thermit?
5151Was it natural, an accident, or-- or murder?
5151Was it typewritten?
5151We''re on the right trail,commented Elaine as he showed them to her,"but where do you suppose the owners are?"
5151Weepy Mary,between sobs, managed to blurt out,"You are Miss Elaine Dodge, are n''t you?
5151Well, how did your infra- red rays work?
5151Well, now we''ve got her, what shall we do with her?
5151Well, what do YOU want?
5151Well, where DID he go?
5151Well, where shall it be?
5151Well,I gasped,"what do you know about that?"
5151Well,she gasped again,"what''s the occasion of THIS?"
5151Well-- are you coming, Walter?
5151Were you watching me?
5151Wh- what do you think of that?
5151Wh- what''s the matter, Craig?
5151Wh-- what''s it all about?
5151What IS the matter?
5151What are those curtains?
5151What are we to do?
5151What are you going here for, Thomas?
5151What are you thinking of doing?
5151What can I do for you?
5151What can you do for this fellow?
5151What d''ye see, Bill?
5151What do you mean, sir, by such conduct?
5151What do you mean-- tell me?
5151What do you think of it?
5151What do you think of that?
5151What does all this mean?
5151What happened?
5151What has happened?
5151What have you been up against?
5151What have you to say about those?
5151What is it, Doctor,I asked finally,"that interests you most in America?"
5151What is it, Marie?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is that?
5151What is that?
5151What is the hotel?
5151What is the matter, Marie?
5151What is the poison?
5151What is the trouble, do you think?
5151What shall we do with this and the other stuff?
5151What shall we do?
5151What shall we do?
5151What time is it, dear?
5151What trick?
5151What was her name?
5151What was it?
5151What was it?
5151What was it?
5151What was the message?
5151What would a certain blonde young lady accept as a birthday present from her family lawyer?
5151What''s all that?
5151What''s all this, Elaine?
5151What''s all this?
5151What''s it all about, Craig?
5151What''s that instrument you are using?
5151What''s that thing?
5151What''s that?
5151What''s that?
5151What''s the big idea, Walter?
5151What''s the matter with Rusty?
5151What''s the matter, here?
5151What''s the matter, old fellow?
5151What''s the matter, old man?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s them pieces of tin-- hey?
5151What''s your name, little boy?
5151What-- not ready yet?
5151What-- those little marks-- a clue?
5151What?
5151Where are you boys going?
5151Where are you going?
5151Where did this package come from?
5151Where did you get this package?
5151Where do you live?
5151Where have you hidden the seven million dollars?
5151Where is Bennett?
5151Where is Greenwich 4494?
5151Where is he?
5151Where is she-- tell me?
5151Where is the armor?
5151Where is the young lady who was here?
5151Where is-- Miss Dodge?
5151Where shall I have them put these things, Miss Elaine?
5151Where-- the deuce-- are you?
5151Where?
5151Which is?
5151Which way did the big car go?
5151Which way did they go?
5151Which way-- which way?
5151Who is it, Jennings?
5151Who is that woman?
5151Who is this?
5151Who the devil-- why did n''t you tell me a reporter was here, Jennings?
5151Who was that man who left you-- last-- the Clutching Hand?
5151Who?
5151Why did he let us go, though?
5151Why not one of these?
5151Why should our great Ksing Chau desire a white devil? 5151 Why, Craig,"I exclaimed excitedly,"what do you mean?"
5151Why, Dad,she cried,"where have you been?
5151Why, Miss Elaine-- what ees ze mattair? 5151 Why, do n''t you see?
5151Why, what''s the matter?
5151Why-- wh- what''s the matter?
5151Why-- what is the matter?
5151Why-- what''s the matter?
5151Why-- yes,answered the doctor,"but what of him?"
5151Why? 5151 Will you give me your name?"
5151Will you take care of him?
5151Wo n''t you come in?
5151Wo n''t you sit down a moment?
5151Wo n''t you step in?
5151Wo n''t you step in?
5151Would you like to follow our technique, Doctor?
5151Would you like to see it?
5151Would you mind-- er-- standing down the hall just a bit while I enter?
5151Y- yes,I replied dubiously,"but what does it all mean?"
5151Yes, I''m all right, thank you, Mr. Kennedy-- and I put the package you sent me into the safe, but--"Package?
5151You killed him?
5151You saw that limousine standing there?
5151You see what will happen at the hour of three?
5151You will?
5151You''re something of a scientific detective, are n''t you?
5151You-- kill him-- with knife?
5151You-- you are very careful since that last warning?
5151You-- you will not let that letter intimidate you?
5151''Do you know the combination?''
5151''Where else did your father keep papers?''
5151''Where else did your father keep papers?''
5151Approaching Tong Wah, he asked:"When will the death- drink be ready?"
5151At exactly half past, I want you to do as I told you-- see?"
5151At the signature of the Clutching Hand he frowned, then, noticing Dr. Hayward, turned to him and repeated his question,"What is the matter?"
5151Before that happens, we must''get''her-- see?"
5151Bennett?"
5151Bennett?"
5151Bennett?"
5151But what could we do?
5151Ca n''t you let us in so we can leave it?"
5151Ca n''t you tell us how to get out?"
5151Can he do it?"
5151Can you arrange it?"
5151Can your controlling spirit give him advice?"
5151Carton?"
5151Could it be Jennings?
5151Could it have been to get the evidence which Dodge had that would incriminate the master criminal?
5151Craig took the letter and we both read, with amazement:"Are you an enemy of society?
5151Did you have any breakfast?"
5151Do n''t you remember it?"
5151Do n''t you see, I''m perfectly able to take care of myself?
5151Do you see those lines?
5151Do you want to speak to him?
5151Dodge?"
5151Get me?"
5151Get me?"
5151Had he been seeing things or hearing things, I wondered?
5151Had he got so far in the chase, only to be outwitted?
5151Have you done anything yet in the little matter we talked about?
5151Have you done anything yet in the little matter we talked about?"
5151He was plainly ill."How long has Rusty been in the room?"
5151How are you getting on, Miss Stern?"
5151How could any woman scorn him?
5151How did it happen?"
5151How futile was it all in the presence of the great destroyer?
5151I know he wanted to laugh and say,"YOU-- a murderess?"
5151I moved over toward him and whispered eagerly,"Is there anything new?"
5151I suppose they''ve put some one up to saying she''s engaged?"
5151If I did, might he not pick us both off, from a safe vantage point, by some sharp- shooting skill?
5151If it was a murder, what was the motive?
5151In the safe?"
5151In which closet does the minister keep them?"
5151Is it anything important-- any news?"
5151Jameson?"
5151Kennedy?"
5151Kennedy?"
5151Kennedy?"
5151Might there not be some simple explanation of it, after all, which she had missed?
5151Morton?"
5151Or was it just the galvanic effect of the current?
5151Or was it our heightened imaginations, under the spell of the darkness?
5151Or was someone outside?
5151See how I fixed it?
5151See?"
5151See?"
5151Should I leave him and go to Craig?
5151Should he defend his rudeness, if she did not understand?
5151Should he flee?
5151Silence?
5151Suppose she should really be gone on only a short shopping trip and should return to find that she had been fooled over the wire?
5151Suppose the oxygen gave out?
5151Then he added to the policeman,"Where do you suppose it comes from?"
5151Then, hesitating and a trifle embarrassed, he added,"May I-- may I have one?"
5151There was a note of seriousness in it, too, that made me ask quickly,"Why?"
5151Understand?
5151Was anything wrong?
5151Was he possessed by such an inordinate jealousy of Bennett?
5151Was it a muffled scream?
5151Was it mere prejudice, or was it her keen woman''s intuition?
5151Was it the surprise of an innocent man?
5151Was she dead?
5151Was this Craig?
5151Was this Kennedy?
5151Was this the end?
5151Were such things as these going to happen to her, without Kennedy''s help?
5151Were we only to be shipwrecked in sight of port?
5151What Is It?
5151What did he think he could do-- blocks away?
5151What did it all mean?
5151What does she look like?"
5151What does she mean?"
5151What had we better do?"
5151What is it that worries you now?"
5151What is it?"
5151What is it?"
5151What is on your mind?
5151What should I do?
5151What should she do?
5151What should she do?
5151What should she do?
5151What to do?
5151What was that scratching noise?
5151What was that?
5151What was the matter?
5151What''s that?"
5151Where do you live?"
5151Where was Clutching Hand?
5151Where was Craig?
5151Where was Kennedy?
5151Who''s your friend?"
5151Why did n''t I believe him?"
5151Why had they quarreled?
5151Why not put her in there?
5151Why, he has been after that Clutching Hand now for three months-- and what has he accomplished?
5151Will he shoot me?
5151Will you allow me?"
5151Would he never throw it?
5151Would it bring help?
5151Would no one hear her?
5151Would the machine succeed?
5151Would they succeed?
5151Would we be in time to rescue Elaine?
5151You say it is made up of separate words and type cut from newspapers and pasted on note paper?"
5151asked the doctor peevishly,"Telephone?
5151growled the master criminal, covering the fact that he was considerably relieved to see him at last,"where have YOU been?
5151he exclaimed with mock politeness,"so, you thought you''d fool me, did you?
5151he says, and as he dictates, I write--""This?"
5150A dead hand?
5150A phantom circuit?
5150About Betty Blackwell?
5150And nothing was taken except some old photographs?
5150And the girl-- Betty Blackwell-- what did she have to do with it?
5150And the taking of the photographs was merely a blind, after not finding it?
5150And then?
5150And you have discovered in this case?
5150And you mean to say that in that way you can actually identify a voice?
5150And you mean to say that that''s going on right here in this city?
5150And you say you lost practically nothing?
5150As a scientist, does the amnesia theory appeal to you, Craig?
5150Besides the cigarettes, was there anything else?
5150Blackened?
5150But I meant how do you suppose he was killed?
5150But what is your explanation? 5150 But who did put in the instrument, really-- did you?"
5150But, you may ask, how about the automobile picture? 5150 But,"I asked, almost in a whisper, as if someone over there might hear me,"is n''t this a very dangerous proceeding, Craig?
5150By the way, did you see Madame Margot herself?
5150By the way,he said in a low voice, leaning over toward her,"have you heard that those pictures of her were faked?
5150Ca n''t we all go together?
5150Ca n''t we buy them off?
5150Ca n''t you do something?
5150Can-- we-- get it?
5150Carton,he said in a milder tone, at length,"what''s the use of all this bluffing?
5150Carton?
5150Did it seem-- straight?
5150Did she come to see whether you got the record?
5150Did you get into the office, learn Langhorne''s habits, and so on, from her?
5150Did you meet the Titian?
5150Did you see anyone else?
5150Do n''t you see it all now? 5150 Do n''t you see?"
5150Do you feel thoroughly beautified?
5150Do you know any more about her?
5150Do you know that girl who just went out?
5150Do you realize what time it is?
5150Do you suppose I''m fool enough to come here and make a dishonest proposition-- here-- right in front of your own friends?
5150Do you think Dorgan and Murtha are hunting the book as anxiously as-- some others?
5150Do you think it is one of those cases like some that Carton has uncovered on the East Side and among girls newly arrived in the city?
5150Do you want to go in?
5150Do you want to know what has become of her, what you are responsible for? 5150 Dorgan?"
5150Got her away-- how-- where?
5150Has a record, I suppose?
5150Has anyone called up?
5150Have n''t you fellows finished yet?
5150Have n''t you got another? 5150 Have you any idea what might have happened to her?"
5150Have you any idea who might pull off such a thing for Dorgan or Murtha?
5150Hello-- Julius? 5150 How about that safe robbery, Kennedy?
5150How about the operator?
5150How about the people there?
5150How about the story of them? 5150 How can I?
5150How did he seem-- irrational?
5150How did you find out about the detectaphone being there?
5150How did you get it?
5150How do you do, Judge?
5150How do you know?
5150How do you study them?
5150How do you suppose it happened?
5150How do you suppose such a thing is possible-- that he could lie about the city, even here until the night keeper came on,--unknown?
5150How is it working?
5150How many private dining- rooms are there?
5150How?
5150How?
5150How?
5150How?
5150How?
5150I called you?
5150I suppose you know what Miss Blackwell was?
5150I suppose your investigators have had more or less to do with watching the progress of drug habits?
5150I suppose, Miss Kendall, we may depend on you to join us?
5150I wonder if you have ever heard of the Reichert blood test? 5150 I wonder if you would excuse me while I drop downstairs to look over things there-- perhaps ingratiate myself with that Titian?
5150I wonder what that blonde woman wore that for?
5150I wonder what that is that Harris seems to be passing out to them?
5150In other words, you think the Reform League has you beaten?
5150In what shape is the record, do you suppose?
5150Is Dr. Harris in?
5150Is it you, Professor Kennedy?
5150Is n''t he back yet?
5150Is n''t he going to say anything about it?
5150Is n''t it clever, though? 5150 Is that true-- about the Montmartre?"
5150Is there no one in all this great city,appealed the distracted little woman with outstretched arms,"who can find my daughter?
5150Is there no way to correct the mistake?
5150Just how do you think he might be involved?
5150Know about Langhorne-- the fellow that was-- that I robbed?
5150Lost his nerve?
5150Mary Ogleby-- eloped?
5150Meanwhile, would you like to know who your''wolf''is that has been spreading rumours about broadcast?
5150Miss Kendall,asked Kennedy,"did you notice anything particularly downstairs?
5150Miss Kendall?
5150Must marriage end all-- all happiness?
5150Must you go?
5150No-- what was it?
5150Nothing that might be used by an enemy for any purpose?
5150Now Langhorne-- what do you know about him?
5150Now if you find such a break in the same letter in another piece of typewriting, what would you think?
5150Now, how did the robber get in?
5150Now, who was the man above you, to whom you reported?
5150Oh, Murtha,he remonstrated with just a twinkle in his eye,"you do n''t think I believe that sort of soft stuff, do you?
5150Oh,exclaimed Clare, as she ran through the writing,"that is this new portrait parle, the spoken picture, is n''t it?"
5150Pat Murtha,ejaculated Craig,"in a sanitarium?"
5150Pomeroy?
5150Real ones?
5150Right there?
5150Rumour? 5150 Say, Kennedy, you''re not going to desert me?"
5150Say-- what are youse guys doin'', huh?
5150Shall I?
5150She-- at a dinner-- with Mr. Murtha? 5150 Silly?
5150So they''ve retained you, have they, Ike?
5150So you knew about thermit, then?
5150So, you have already investigated the Little Montmartre?
5150So,he shouted at last,"you are going to try some of those fine little scientific tricks on us, are you?"
5150Suppose we walk a little way downtown with Carton?
5150Tanguez- vous?
5150That robbery of Langhorne''s safe was a most peculiar thing, was n''t it?
5150That was your gun moll who just went out, was n''t it?
5150The door was open when you returned?
5150The guy with the glasses?
5150The question is, whom are we going to get whom we can trust to go to that dope joint and explore it?
5150Then it is war-- without quarter?
5150Then it must have been someone in the house or at least familiar with it?
5150Then we can be-- friends?
5150Then what of it?
5150Then you can identify these letters positively?
5150Then you have n''t heard it?
5150Then you think it is a good tip?
5150Then you think you can trace down the forger of those pictures before it is too late?
5150Then you would stick your foot out-- and perhaps lose the race yourself?
5150Then you-- you have n''t forgotten poor little me?
5150Then,pursued Kennedy, pacing the floor thoughtfully,"the next question is, How are we to proceed?
5150Thermit?
5150These are the marks on the door, I presume?
5150They heard you talking that last time, and you have locked the door against them? 5150 Think of it?"
5150To- day''s the day, is it?
5150Too late?
5150Under arrest? 5150 Veronal?"
5150Well, Mr. Carton, have n''t I made good?
5150Well, what do you think of that?
5150Well,asked Murtha persuasively,"you''ll think it over, first, wo n''t you?"
5150Well?
5150Well?
5150What are they that they should take such pains with them?
5150What are you doing now?
5150What are you going to do?
5150What are you-- according to your own confession? 5150 What did he do with it?"
5150What did you think of Miss Ashton? 5150 What do I care about Martin?
5150What do you call it?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you suppose Mrs. Ogleby meant in her references to Carton?
5150What do you think it is?
5150What do you think of it?
5150What do you think of that? 5150 What do you think of the rest of the letter?"
5150What do you think of this, Miss Kendall?
5150What has he done?
5150What has that to do with Miss Blackwell, anyhow?
5150What is it, Mary?
5150What is it-- what did you find?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is that bit of ruled glass?
5150What is the thing?
5150What kind of a weird thing is that?
5150What luck?
5150What makes you suspect him?
5150What of it all?
5150What shall I write?
5150What sort of place was it in which the receivers of the detectaphone were located-- do you know?
5150What was in the book-- mostly, do you imagine?
5150What was it that was overheard?
5150What was that-- a plant?
5150What was the difficulty?
5150What were they?
5150What''s back there?
5150What''s that thing you put on the ledge up there-- a detectaphone?
5150What''s that?
5150What''s the lay?
5150What''s the matter with her?
5150What''s the matter?
5150What''s this I hear about Jack Rubano, Carton?
5150What''s up, Ike?
5150What-- you here?
5150What-- you, Miss Kendall?
5150What? 5150 Where could she go?"
5150Where did he take her?
5150Where did it lead?
5150Where did they take her?
5150Where have you been?
5150Where is Betty Blackwell?
5150Where, then,asked Kennedy,"can photography be considered as irrefutable evidence?
5150Who else was there?
5150Who is it?
5150Who is she?
5150Who is that dark- haired, dark- skinned woman, Marie, do you suppose?
5150Who is that,''way back there, with his chair tipped to the wall, talking to the man with his back to us?
5150Who was it?
5150Who will believe a story like that?
5150Why was it necessary to get Betty Blackwell out of the way?
5150Why was she here?
5150Why will men in a public capacity get mixed up with women of the adventuress type like that, even innocently?
5150Why, what has happened?
5150Why, what is the matter?
5150Why-- why did you go to that dinner with Murtha?
5150Why? 5150 Why?"
5150Wo n''t you dance?
5150Wo n''t you sit down? 5150 Would n''t the telegraphone do?"
5150Would you like to look it over? 5150 Would you like to make twenty- five dollars-- just like that?"
5150Yes,prompted Carton,"and what then-- what did you do with it?"
5150Yes,prompted Kennedy,"but, impersonation-- what do you mean by that?"
5150You did n''t go?
5150You do n''t think people are going to swallow all that stuff, do you?
5150You do n''t think that Langhorne is really in the inner ring, then?
5150You have heard nothing, have no idea where she might have gone-- even for a time?
5150You have heard of the character of some of those dinners?
5150You know all this?
5150You know what Miss Kendall said of decorative surgery, there? 5150 You know where she is, then?"
5150You know young Haxworth?
5150You mean that he wants to lay a foundation now for questioning the accuracy of the Black Book if it ever comes to light?
5150You mean the son of the millionaire who is investigating vice and whom the newspapers are poking fun at?
5150You robbed?
5150You saw Ike the Dropper go out with that man?
5150You see that shadow of the gable, Dorgan?
5150You want me to try a course in artificial beautification, do n''t you?
5150You will come along?
5150You will dine with us, Miss Kendall?
5150You''ll come to see me-- afterwards?
5150You''ll-- think it over?
515072?
5150Above all, what was his game?
5150Almost before I had finished with the carefully framed, glib excuse that I was to make, he shouted to me over the wire,"What do you think, Jameson?
5150Am I to be charged with everything this gang, as you call it, does?
5150And above Murtha?"
5150And the manner?
5150Are you all right?"
5150As for myself, I could not help wondering whether, after all, Murtha might not have been the victim of foul play-- and, if so, by whom?
5150As the encore struck up again, a voice, almost as if it were in the little room alongside us, said,"Why, hello, Maty, why are n''t you dancing?"
5150But I mean what she had actually done?
5150But beyond that-- what?"
5150But did you notice anything else-- as we came in, for instance?"
5150But was that a stall?
5150But you-- well, what''s the answer?
5150But, tell me, how do you know already?
5150By the way, are n''t those orchids gorgeous?"
5150By the way, what have you done with him?"
5150By the way, where''s that thing I left down here for recording voices?"
5150Ca n''t you dig up something from your Star connections?"
5150Ca n''t you help me with some of these parts?"
5150Can you spare the time to run down to the Reform League headquarters with me?"
5150Carton?"
5150Could he have known of the intimacy of his guest at the Gastron dinner with Langhorne, rather than with Murtha, with whom she had gone?
5150Did n''t you ever see them?
5150Did you notice anything about the means of communicating with the outside-- the telephones, for instance?"
5150Did you see it?"
5150Do n''t you ever use them for dictating letters?"
5150Do n''t you see the scheme?
5150Do n''t you suppose the crooks read the scientific and technical papers?
5150Do you go into court with clean hands?
5150Do you want to know what club I think you really belong to-- you who have involved one girl after another in the meshes of this devilish System?
5150Ever hear of that?
5150Evidently the answer was in the affirmative, for Craig asked next,"Well, ca n''t we have the small one?"
5150For what?"
5150Had Kennedy turned medium and sought a message from the other world to solve the inexplicable problems of this?
5150Had she, too, surmised that Murtha had employed his henchman, Dopey Jack, to recover the book from Langhorne?
5150Had they been double- crossed by the man they had chosen for the work, assuming that they knew of and had planned the"job"?
5150Had they failed in it?
5150Have you any objection to going down with me and posing as a reporter from the Star?"
5150Have you ever been up in that part of town?"
5150Have you heard anything of the rumours about Hartley Langhorne and his pool being insolvent?
5150He could n''t be on such intimate terms with one who was paying graft to him as collector otherwise; do you think so?"
5150Hello-- what is it?"
5150Here?
5150How about a private dining- room for three, Julius?"
5150How are you?
5150How did you get it?"
5150How do I know what that fellow is doing now-- perhaps using my name?"
5150How do you know he''s here?
5150How do you know?"
5150How do you suppose they found out that she was interested?"
5150How is it to be done?
5150How would Miss Ashton take it?
5150I have sent for Mr. Kennedy and---""Nothing-- on your honour?"
5150I may keep this and study it at my leisure?"
5150I presume you do n''t want to go up there and look the place over yourself, do you, Carton?"
5150I wonder what he really knew about it-- what secrets he carried away with him?"
5150I wonder what it is?"
5150IV THE ANONYMOUS LETTER"What do you make of that?"
5150If Carton slipped away in this fashion before we could warn him, what might not happen?
5150If this can happen to Dopey Jack, what might not happen to me?"
5150In fact, could the thing have been done by a woman?
5150Is it possible that a girl can disappear in broad daylight in the streets and never be heard of again?
5150Is there anything I can do for you?"
5150It looks to me as if he were waiting for someone-- didn''t it to you, Walter?"
5150Kennedy had been, so far, little more than an interested listener, but now he asked pointedly,"You have copies of the pictures?"
5150May I see it?"
5150Miss Kendall never could, could you?
5150Murtha?"
5150No, do n''t you, as a reporter, see it?
5150Now it''s worth twenty- five beans to me to get that package-- get me?"
5150Ogleby?"
5150Ogleby?"
5150Oh, wo n''t you find her?
5150Oh-- er-- by the way-- what is his name?"
5150Or did they know something about Betty Blackwell?
5150Or had Carton''s relentless pursuit, the raid of Margot''s, and the conviction of Dopey Jack, driven the Smiling Boss really insane?
5150Or was it a result of his excesses?
5150Rather wonderful, is n''t it?"
5150Rubano?
5150See?"
5150Shall I see you to- morrow at headquarters?"
5150She was the girl we saw paying money to Ike the Dropper, you remember-- the one none of us recognized?
5150The question was, however, which of these causes had been in operation in the case of Betty Blackwell?
5150Then, too, in the other house-- You remember I spoke about the girl whom we saw paying Ike the Dropper?
5150There was a battery of white manicure tables, and then the hairdressers and the artists who lay on these complexions-- what do you think of mine?
5150There was a tense look on many a face, as if the owner were asking himself the question,"What are we coming to?
5150There was an unmistakable air of familiarity about it and about the reply,"Why are n''t you, Hartley?"
5150They are battering it down?
5150Vernon Harris, M. D.''You recall that the letter said something about a doctor who was very friendly with that clique the writer mentioned?
5150Wait until--""Wait?"
5150Was Clare safe?
5150Was ever a situation of such peculiar, mixed motives?
5150Was he ill?
5150Was he playing to spare the girl''s feelings merely by allowing the election to go on without a scandal to Carton?
5150Was it about Dopey Jack?
5150Was it because the Bertillon dynamometer appeared at first sight to exonerate Betty Blackwell, at least so far, from any connection with the crime?
5150Was it merely a sham?
5150Was it still some vestige of the old fear under which she had been held so long?
5150Was it that he meant to imply that, after all, the missing Betty Blackwell had had something to do with it?
5150Was she being held as a white slave in some obscure den?
5150Was there an organized band?
5150Was this some kind of spiritism?
5150We could not hear the reply, but Craig added quickly,"I thought there were two?"
5150We have had no chance to finger- print that woman and what good would it do if we had?
5150Were these disappearances merely accidents-- or was there an epidemic of amnesia?
5150Were they framing up something themselves?
5150What are they?
5150What did he mean?
5150What did he mean?
5150What did it mean?
5150What did it mean?
5150What did she say?"
5150What did you think of Carton?"
5150What do you know about graft up there?"
5150What do you mean?
5150What had Craig said to Dorgan?
5150What have we to lose?
5150What if Murtha had got it and had destroyed it before his death?
5150What impressed you about it?"
5150What is her name?"
5150What is it?"
5150What is it?"
5150What is your point number two?"
5150What might be the effect on her of any disillusionment, of any ridicule that Langhorne might artfully heap up?
5150What more natural than to use the dope fiends and the degenerates of the Montmartre gang?"
5150What more natural, then, than while she must keep in hiding to make one visit to the beauty parlour to which so many society women went-- Margot''s?
5150What was a beauty parlour, a cosmetic surgery, for, if it could not be used to save them?
5150What was it that seemed to freeze her tongue now?
5150What was more likely than that Martin Ogleby should have heard of his wife''s escapade?
5150What was the matter with Kahn?
5150What was the significance of the added mystery?
5150What was the thing to do, then?
5150What was this Dopey Jack when ruin stared himself so relentlessly in the face in the person of Carton, calm and cool?
5150What was to be done?
5150What were they talking about?
5150What would happen then?
5150What would they do?
5150What''s that-- you threaten him-- you threaten me?
5150Whatyer givin''us?
5150Whatyer givin''us?"
5150Where does Kahn hang out?
5150Where had she gone?
5150Where had this whole army of vanishers disappeared?
5150Where is Betty Blackwell?
5150Where is Miss Kendall?"
5150Where would that be done in the Montmartre?
5150Where''s Kennedy?"
5150Where-- my mother-- oh, where is mother?"
5150Who are you, anyway?
5150Why do n''t you use the detectaphone-- get our own little Black Book?"
5150Why do you come to me?
5150Why do you suspect Langhorne?"
5150Why not?"
5150Why should I not have my-- my freedom, too?
5150Why, they have thought out the only possible way in which to beat it, do n''t you see?
5150Why,"he pursued,"do n''t you see what it means?
5150Will someone find Carton?
5150Will you or wo n''t you take twenty- five of easy money?"
5150Wo n''t you sit down?"
5150Would you deliberately stop and stick your foot out, in order to trip up the man who was coming in second?"
5150Would you mind if we made an attempt to apply it?"
5150You are sure that the only thing missing is the photographs?"
5150You can have him held until they have time to report?"
5150You can say that-- you, the tool of that-- that monster?"
5150You have n''t forgotten the studio dance I''m giving on the twelfth?
5150You know the first rule of equity?
5150You recall Carton discovered that in some way these people found out that we were using it?
5150You remember how artificial she looked?"
5150You remember the detectaphone instruments which we have used?"
5150You say you have discovered a clue?
5150You think perhaps there might be some professional jealousy?
5150You''ll get us both, will you?
5054A bulletless gun?
5054A cocaine fiend?
5054A fish- eye lens?
5054A poisoning, then?
5054Agnes,Miss Blaisdell had said,"will you go into the writing- room and bring me some paper, a pen, and ink?
5054Agnes?
5054And Clendenin?
5054And Haddon knows?
5054And Mr. Maitland,asked Kennedy,"was he a patient, too?"
5054And that is?
5054And the Star,inquired Kennedy, coming to the door and adding with an aggravating grin,"the infallible?"
5054And the door to the side street?
5054And the motive for such a terrible crime?
5054And the murder of the chef?
5054And the pieces?
5054And they operate so secretly that Brixton can trust no one about him?
5054And were engaged, were you not?
5054And what is a thermopile?''
5054And who are these Elmores?
5054And who might you be?
5054And you were not with them?
5054Annie Grayson? 5054 Are they salable; that is, could any one dispose of the emeralds or the other curios with reasonable safety and at a good price?"
5054Are you aware of any scandal, any skeleton in the closet in the family?
5054Are you going to keep up this debauch?
5054Are you going to put in a detectaphone?
5054Are you going?
5054Are you hurt badly?
5054Are you hurt?
5054Are you sure that it is a fact?
5054Blown?
5054But have you any idea who would go so far to protect his investments as to kill?
5054But what about Annie Grayson?
5054But what do you expect to gain by it?
5054But why should the Chinaman shoot my sister?
5054But, man,shouted Brixton,"you do n''t suppose anything in the world counts beside her, do you?"
5054But,I objected,"how about the oil of turpentine?"
5054By some jiu jitsu trick?
5054By the way,he remarked, just before we left,"you used a good deal of canned goods at the Godwin house, did n''t you?"
5054Captain,he cried,"can you send a wireless message?
5054Cobra venom?
5054Could I--he slipped a crumpled treasury note into her hand--"could I speak to Mr. Thornton''s nurse?"
5054Could a current from one of the batteries have influenced the receiving apparatus?
5054Could it have been some medical students, body- snatchers?
5054Could it have been through something internal?
5054Could you point it out to me from the window?
5054Count Wachtmann?
5054Cushing?
5054Did Mr. Borland and his new chemist Lathrop believe it, too?
5054Did you ever see Mr. Phelps take any drugs-- not habitually, but just before this sleep came on?
5054Did you notice anything unusual?
5054Did you try artificial respiration?
5054Do you know anything about his scheme?
5054Do you know who he is?
5054Do you recall using any that were-- well, perhaps not exactly spoiled, but that had anything peculiar about them?
5054Do you think he could have been kidnapped or murdered?
5054Do you think he oversteps his position in trying to learn of the mental life of his patients?
5054Do you think he was right?
5054Do you think it was a suicide?
5054Do you use it often?
5054Do you wish to speak to him? 5054 Does that mean that he has gone-- escaped?"
5054Emery Pitts?
5054Engaged?
5054Had a mousey smell? 5054 Had you ever noticed that he took any drug?"
5054Has anything happened?
5054Have you any idea who it could be?
5054Have you come any closer to the truth?
5054Have you ever heard of or used cobra venom in any of your medical work?
5054Have you no clue, no suspicions?
5054Have you struck a snag?
5054Have you-- er-- any one here named Thornton-- er--?
5054He is talking into a very sensitive telephone transmitter and--"But the voice-- here?
5054He was a friend of Mrs. Maitland''s, was he not?
5054Heart failure-- what does that mean? 5054 Hello-- yes-- is that you, Burke?
5054Here? 5054 How are the tests coming along?"
5054How can you?
5054How could any one have got in from the outside?
5054How could she have any connection with the case?
5054How did that land there?
5054How did you enjoy it?
5054How did you get him so that he is even considering turning state''s evidence?
5054How did you know I was interested?
5054How did you know he was here?
5054How do you mean?
5054How do you mean?
5054How is she now?
5054How long ago did the coma first show itself?
5054How-- what do you mean?
5054Hulloa-- what''s this?
5054I have n''t looked into the case very deeply, but I''m not so sure that he had the secret, are you?
5054I may keep these for the present?
5054I send that? 5054 I suppose you have heard of this?"
5054I suppose you saw that despatch from Washington in this afternoon''s papers?
5054I trust he is all right here?
5054I wonder if he''d recognise me?
5054I wonder if the long arm of this vice trust could have reached out and gathered them in, too?
5054I?
5054If any one dares to do that to him, what will they do to me?
5054In his note,resumed Kennedy,"he spoke of Dr. Ross and--""Oh,"she cried,"ca n''t you see Dr. Ross about it?
5054In the kitchen?
5054Indeed?
5054Indol?
5054Inert?
5054Is he very-- very badly?
5054Is n''t this a marvellous picture? 5054 Is that so?
5054Is this Professor Kennedy?
5054Kidnapped, you say? 5054 Kronski?
5054Merciless?
5054Mice?
5054Minna,murmured Pitts, falling back, exhausted by the excitement, on his pillows,"Minna-- forgive?
5054Miriam?
5054Mr. Maitland had no enemies that you know of?
5054Mr. Masterson, I believe?
5054Mrs. Maitland, I believe, is a patient of yours?
5054Mrs. Pitts,began Kennedy,"I suppose you are aware of the physical condition of your husband?"
5054Must that grim prison take in others, even if my husband goes free?
5054Must-- must it be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?
5054My dear,he said to her at length,"will you call some one and have them taken to the kitchen?"
5054No one?
5054Nordheim?
5054Not a suicide?
5054Now where was the body, exactly, when you opened the door?
5054Of Dr. Thompson Lord?
5054Oh, Walter, on Broadway? 5054 Or perhaps bribed?"
5054Or was it simply a piece of vandalism? 5054 Outside the hull?"
5054Perhaps, Ruth, I had better-- ah-- see these gentlemen alone?
5054Professor Kennedy?
5054Saw whom?
5054Say, do you and your gun- moll want to pick up a piece of change to get that mouthpiece I heard you talking about?
5054Secret service-- rummage baggage?
5054Shall I order them to bring Mrs. Willoughby and Annie Grayson to the superintendent''s office and have them searched?
5054She broke off the engagement?
5054Siege?
5054Since when were you admitted into society?
5054So you are a cocaine fiend, also?
5054So you think he really did have the secret of artificial rubber?
5054Stand it?
5054Strange delusions?
5054Strangled?
5054Suicide?
5054Telautomatics?
5054The Jap-- Nichi Moto?
5054The Stamford cottage?
5054The body is really there?
5054The coast or Down East?
5054The phantom circuit?
5054The question is, who and what was he working for?
5054Then how did she get it?
5054Then she is dancing at the Mayfair yet?
5054Then what did he do? 5054 Then who did get it, do you think?"
5054Then why are you here?
5054There could not have been any substitution?
5054There-- see? 5054 They have submarines in Germany, do n''t they?
5054They have? 5054 They?"
5054This? 5054 Those people in there,"he nodded his head back in the direction of the Millefleurs,"do you suspect them?
5054To what am I indebted for this pleasure?
5054To you?
5054Walter, you''ll come, too?
5054Walter,almost shouted Kennedy,"I''m over at the Washington Heights Hospital with Dr. Barron-- you remember Barron, in our class at college?
5054Was any doctor called?
5054Was it incontestible without the suicide clause?
5054Was she a patron, too?
5054Was your husband a man of neurotic tendency, as far as you could judge?
5054Well, then,I persisted,"body- snatchers, medical students?"
5054Well, what do you think of that?
5054Well?
5054Well?
5054Well?
5054Wh- what does it all mean?
5054What are you doing, mixed up in this?
5054What can I do for you?
5054What did she do with it?
5054What did you discover?
5054What did you do that for?
5054What do you know about Mrs. Brainard? 5054 What do you make of that, Professor Kennedy?"
5054What do you mean?
5054What do you mean?
5054What do you see, Walter?
5054What do you suppose is in that, Kennedy?
5054What do you think of him?
5054What do you think of it yourself?
5054What does anything amount to?
5054What does he want?
5054What does this mean?
5054What have you done since?
5054What have you found?
5054What is it?
5054What is it?
5054What is it?
5054What is on that other point?
5054What is the Red Brotherhood?
5054What is the latest from the Near East?
5054What is this principle? 5054 What is this, anyhow-- gang- war?"
5054What is this-- a gathering of the clans? 5054 What then?"
5054What was it?
5054What was left? 5054 What was that?"
5054What was the purpose of that outburst?
5054What were you writing?
5054What''s it all about?
5054What''s that, those little spots on her tongue and throat? 5054 What''s that?"
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s the lay?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the news from Washington, Burke? 5054 What''s this-- a zoo?"
5054What''s this?
5054What''s this?
5054What-- Gladys-- you--"Florence-- tell them-- it is n''t so-- is it? 5054 What-- leave him here-- alone-- in the last days?
5054What?
5054What?
5054What?
5054When did you first notice the interference with the Turtle?
5054Where are the papers in the case, the documents showing the application for the patent, for instance?
5054Where away?
5054Where did you find it?
5054Where does he get the supply to sell?
5054Where is Borland''s office?
5054Where is Nordheim?
5054Where is his office?
5054Where is it?
5054Where is my hat-- wh- where am I? 5054 Which end of the rubber works is it?"
5054Which tong does he belong to?
5054Who are these men, Conrad?
5054Who do you suppose could have sent it?
5054Who has been hounding him?
5054Who have rival companies?
5054Who is Nordheim?
5054Who is it?
5054Who is that?
5054Who is this girl Agnes who discovered Miss Blaisdell?
5054Who was caught in your kitchen, Mr. Pitts, and, to escape detection, killed your faithful chef and covered his own traces so cleverly?
5054Who was it?
5054Who was this madman? 5054 Who were the others?"
5054Who would have known the new process of healing wounds? 5054 Who,"asked Kennedy,"was chiefly interested in the rubber works where Cushing was formerly employed?"
5054Who-- who is this Thornton?
5054Who?
5054Who?
5054Whom did he call?
5054Why all this secrecy?
5054Why did n''t you say that before?
5054Why impossible?
5054Why, what do you mean?
5054Why, what''s the trouble, Mr. Willoughby? 5054 Why, why do you and Mr. Andrews worry me?
5054Why,she asked with real alarm,"is he so very badly?"
5054Why? 5054 Why?"
5054Wo n''t you come back to the house for dinner?
5054Would you fight such a move?
5054Yes,I said,"but will one of us have to watch here all the time?"
5054Yes-- how did you know his name?
5054You are already holding it up?
5054You are going into town to- morrow?
5054You called in Dr. Forden the last night?
5054You can tell it all when the chief takes you to headquarters, see?
5054You do n''t know?
5054You do n''t mean to say that you attach any importance to a dream?
5054You expect us to believe that?
5054You get me?
5054You had had no quarrel?
5054You have heard, I suppose, of the strange death of Price Maitland?
5054You have known Mrs. Maitland a long time?
5054You have n''t given this letter out to the press?
5054You have no idea who the murderer might be?
5054You have not given up hope in the appeal?
5054You have theories of your own on the case?
5054You knew that they had discovered the poisoned wall- paper?
5054You know where that stuff will land you, I presume?
5054You mean he refused to talk?
5054You met him at the Naval building, that night, do n''t you remember?
5054You recall the peculiar marking on the nose of those bullets? 5054 You recall,"he began,"that no one seemed to know just who took the jewels in both the cases you first reported?
5054You remember my use of the sphygmomanometer?
5054You saw it?
5054You see that fellow, Coke Brodie? 5054 You see, Walter,"he smiled,"how soon one gets into a habit?
5054You think he was bitten by a snake?
5054You want me to stay here until the last minute so that I can overhear whether any alarm is given for her? 5054 You were his personal physician?"
5054You were sent for by Mrs. Phelps, that last night, I believe, while Phelps was still alive?
5054You will keep me advised of any progress you make in the case?
5054You''ll be within call, if we let you go now, any time that we want you?
5054You''ll do that, Walter?
5054''Look, do n''t you see it?
5054A half- hour later, when he had left and had gone to the hotel, I asked Kennedy suspiciously,"Why did you expose your hand to Hollins, Craig?"
5054All the way she kept crying over and over:''Look, do n''t you see it?
5054And have you had time to study the records?
5054And if it was his conspiracy, would he succeed in tempting his friend, Miss Winslow, to fall in with this glittering offer?
5054Any clues?"
5054Any dizziness?"
5054Are n''t you going to the Novella this morning?"
5054Are you game to go in?"
5054Are you going to keep that up?
5054Are you going?"
5054Assuming the presence of conine, where did it come from?"
5054At last he leaned over and asked quickly,"Can I trust you?"
5054Brainard?"
5054Brainard?"
5054Brainard?"
5054But did he do it himself or did some one else do it?
5054But had he taken anything lately, either of his own volition or with the advice or knowledge of any one else?"
5054But how did you know that?
5054But now that I am here, I wonder if it is possible that I could bring any influence to bear to see your husband?"
5054But what was it she had really seen?
5054By George, it does look badly for them, does n''t it, when you come to think of it?
5054By telepathy?
5054By the way, who else is there in the immediate family?"
5054Ca n''t you see Doctor Forden?"
5054Can not you come and advise me?
5054Can we visit the mausoleum to- night?"
5054Can you come to the Municipal Hospital-- right away?"
5054Can you help me out with it?"
5054Can you meet me to- night?
5054Clendenin?"
5054Could it be that he was playing a game with Carton and had given him a double cross?
5054Could she have been poisoned by these phosphorescent bacilli?
5054Count Wachtmann''s car is there?
5054Craig evidently had the same thought in his mind, however, for he continued:"Was it a woman who killed the chef?
5054Craig, are you sure nobody is hoaxing you?"
5054Did n''t I just tell you I had n''t heard from her until I called up the theatre just now?"
5054Do n''t you know that synthetic rubber would ruin the business system that I have built up here?"
5054Do you know, the scientific slaying of human beings has far exceeded organised efforts at detection?
5054Do you see how those strokes of the long letters are-- well, wobbly?
5054Do you see the closet?"
5054Do you want to come along?
5054Dr. Ross, I think, is acquainted with the new and remarkable theories of Dr. Sigmund Freud, of Vienna?"
5054Gentlemen of the press?"
5054Had he been in league with them, executing a flank movement to divert our attention?
5054Had that been what she was concealing?
5054Had the bomb- maker left before we arrived?
5054Had the powers of evil in the city learned that he was weakening and hurried him out of the way at the last moment?
5054Had there been anything more than superstition in the girl''s evident fright?
5054Had you thought of going to- day?"
5054Has not Haddon cast me off?
5054Has some one else been victimised, too?"
5054Have you a pen or a pencil?"
5054Have you ever seen it?"
5054Have you noticed this room?"
5054He came to me originally--""Arnold Masterson?"
5054He paused, then added quickly:"What machine was it in this case?
5054His chauffeur has started the car without waiting for the Count, who is coming down the platform?"
5054How are things going?"
5054How can he?
5054How can we watch both places at once and yet remain hidden?"
5054How could you?"
5054How do I know what you are?"
5054How do you feel to- day?"
5054How much were you stung for?"
5054How was he to profit by it?
5054How were we to get past that door?
5054How would we find it out?
5054How?"
5054I asked myself the usual query of the lawyers and the detectives-- Who would benefit most by the death of Pitts?
5054I believe it was midnight before you finished?"
5054I gasped,"another case before even this one is fairly cleaned up?
5054I suppose Yvonne has shown you one of the letters I am receiving?"
5054I suppose that an expert like Mr. Borland could tell me, perhaps?"
5054I suppose you have noticed the precautions we are taking against intruders?
5054I trust you wo n''t consider it an impertinence if I ask you whether you were aware that Dr. Ross was Mrs. Maitland''s physician?"
5054I wonder if there could have been any jewels buried with him, as Shaughnessy said?
5054I wonder if you could let me have a sample of this cobra venom?"
5054Inert?
5054Is he here?"
5054Is he really guilty?
5054Is it a curse four thousand years old that has fallen on me?"
5054Is n''t it bad enough to hound him, without hounding me, too?
5054Is that the way the Z99 has behaved always lately?"
5054Is that you, Dr. Guthrie?
5054Is that you, Ella?
5054Is there no rest for the wicked?"
5054Just what had Loraine Keith to do with it?
5054Kennedy fingered the now set impressions, then resumed:"Before I answer that question, what else does the spectroscope show?
5054Kennedy?"
5054Meanwhile, Captain, will you explain to Professor Kennedy just how things are?
5054My friend here knows Dr. Lord very well, do n''t you, Walter?"
5054My heavens-- is there still another day of it?
5054Nordheim?"
5054Number seven?
5054Oh, Price-- why did you?
5054Or could it all have been part of a conspiracy?
5054Or did the cadaveric conine develop only in the body after death?
5054Or had it all been pure chance?
5054Ruth looked up at him with tearful eyes wistful with pain,"Would Mr. Kennedy work on it?"
5054Shall I call her?"
5054She is a very handsome and attractive woman-- you have seen her?
5054Should the confederates of Phelps wait?
5054Stand it?
5054Suppose I just drop off at your place?"
5054Suppose we should start and this Kronski should change his plans at the last minute?
5054Tell me-- what has happened?"
5054The nine- o''clock train is five minutes late?
5054The ten- two?
5054Then, improving the opening, I hastened:"Is this Mr. Thornton violent?
5054They will hold the boat for us?
5054Thornton?"
5054Walter, breathe as little of it as you can-- but-- come here-- do you see?--over there, near the other door-- a figure lying on the floor?
5054Was Dr. Ross desperately shifting suspicion from himself?
5054Was Wachtmann a party to it?
5054Was he going to wait until the bomb- maker had finished what he had come to accomplish?
5054Was he, too, crazy?
5054Was it Clendenin?
5054Was it human or wraith?
5054Was it of some one who had visited the tomb, who was surprised there or surprised some one else there?
5054Was it that which Kennedy was driving at disclosing?
5054Was not Kennedy actually taxing her with loving another?
5054Was she acting a part now?
5054Was she herself part of the plot to victimise, perhaps kill, him?
5054Was she in any way responsible?
5054Was she shielding some one?
5054Was she telling the truth?
5054Was the bomb- maker there still?
5054Was there any way of escape?
5054Was there not something still that she was concealing?
5054Was there some secret which medical ethics kept locked in his breast?
5054Was this a case for the oculists, the spiritualists, the Egyptologists, or for a detective?
5054We met him to- day at the country club, a kindly looking, middle- aged fellow?"
5054What are all these pictures?"
5054What are you doing for it?"
5054What black magic was this?
5054What did you mean?"
5054What do you make of it?
5054What do you think of it?"
5054What do you think of that?"
5054What had been her purpose in coming at all?
5054What has happened?"
5054What is he to me, now?"
5054What is it?
5054What is there to forgive?
5054What is this thing, anyhow?"
5054What must they have done to her?
5054What new scientific engine of death was that little hollow cylinder?
5054What reason, I asked myself, was there to suppose that it would be different now?
5054What threat would be used to back this demand on the Phelpses?"
5054What train are you going to take?
5054What was back of it all?
5054What was he doing-- convicting the man over again?
5054What was he preparing to do?
5054What was it, I wondered?
5054What was it-- a strange new mouth- malady that had attacked this notorious adventuress and woman of luxury?
5054What was it?
5054What was the implication of his startling, almost gruesome, discovery?
5054What was the secret hidden in it?
5054What was to be done?
5054What was to be done?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s the matter with it?"
5054What''s this?"
5054What, after all, had been the net result of our activities so far?
5054When that went out what was the use?"
5054Where is Clendenin, do you suppose?"
5054Where is it?
5054Where was he?
5054Which window did you say was Borland''s?
5054Who are they?
5054Who knew about the fatal properties of indol?
5054Who put it in the food?
5054Who was it whose voice Brixton had recognised as familiar over Kennedy''s hastily installed detectaphone?
5054Who was this wounded criminal?
5054Who was willing to forego a one- hundred- thousand- dollar prize in order to gain a fortune of many hundreds of thousands?"
5054Who were the men who went on that expedition to the Congo with Borland which you mentioned?"
5054Who will come to the Novella now?"
5054Whose blood was it?
5054Whose were the teeth?"
5054Why can not we make the world see our case as we see it?
5054Why did I come?
5054Why did I come?"
5054Why have I?
5054Will that serve?"
5054Will this appeal be denied, also?
5054Will you come?"
5054Will you merciless detectives drive us all from, place to place with your brutal suspicions?"
5054Will you not go?
5054Would he hesitate a moment to send us all to perdition along with himself?
5054Would she be used to get at the millionaire and his treasures?
5054Would she stop at anything to avoid the scandal and disgrace of the charge of bigamy?
5054Would you like to see why?"
5054Yes-- what?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yet here was the one great question, Whence had come the impulse that had sent the famous Z99 to her fate?
5054You do n''t think it is anything serious, do you, Doctor?"
5054You have heard of the Indian fakirs who bury themselves alive and are dug up days later?
5054You have read Ellen Key, I presume?
5054You poor creature, do n''t you think a little trip into town might make you feel better?
5054You received the impulses all right?
5054You remember Burke of the secret service?
5054You remember him?
5054You remember the field glass I used?"
5054You remember the girl at the hospital?
5054You see the evident disguise of the roughly written address?"
5054You understand?
5054You will be at your office?"
5054You will excuse us, Captain, for a few hours?
5054You''d never see that in the original, but when it is enlarged you see how plainly visible the tremors of the hand become?
5054You''re sure it is the nine- o''clock train she is due on?
5054asked Kennedy,"and why do you connect it with this case?"
5054in the morning paper?"
5149A cat?
5149A plant?
5149Afraid of him-- why?
5149And Jameson, too? 5149 And Mr. Lockwood, who is he?"
5149And Professor Kennedy?
5149And did she notice it?
5149And the curse?
5149And these attacks on you-- this cigarette business-- how do you explain that,asked Craig,"if you have n''t the dagger?"
5149And you believe what HE says, too?
5149And you did n''t care, as long as he had it,added Craig, then, turning to the de Moches,"And what is your tale?"
5149And you think that may have something to do with the case?
5149And you?
5149And?
5149Another car?
5149Any news of Inez?
5149Anything else?
5149Anything from Burke yet?
5149Are you all right now, old man?
5149Are you going up toward the University?
5149Are you hurt?
5149Are you quite sure you are able to stand the strain of this interview?
5149Are you ready, Walter?
5149Are you ready?
5149Are you sure that he knew nothing about it before?
5149Broken?
5149But did he say anything, has he done anything?
5149But do n''t you suppose they know it?
5149But do you think she was going to accept as truth what you told her? 5149 But is n''t it dangerous?"
5149But what has that to do with the evil eye?
5149But where is she now-- where is he? 5149 But who could it have been?"
5149But whom does it mean?
5149Ca n''t they tell it?
5149Ca n''t you call him up again?
5149Can they hear us?
5149Can we not expect you?
5149Can you make anything out of that?
5149Chester-- is that you?
5149Could he have been made insane, do you think?
5149De Moche-- with her, now?
5149Did Lockwood or Mendoza know about the dagger and its importance?
5149Did anything happen after I left?
5149Did he have a visit from one of his detectives?
5149Did he have a visit from one of his detectives?
5149Did he tell her that?
5149Did he tell you any more than he told us?
5149Did n''t that satisfy you?
5149Did you get them?
5149Did you see any ladies?
5149Do n''t you think we might have the door ajar a little?
5149Do n''t you think you ought to preserve the marks?
5149Do n''t you want more light?
5149Do you know Senora de Moche well?
5149Do you know anything more about these men, Lockwood and de Moche?
5149Do you know him? 5149 Do you mind telling me whose feet made these prints?"
5149Do you suppose that woman could be using Whitney for some purpose?
5149Do you want me to tell you the truth?
5149Do you want to answer it?
5149Do?
5149Does Whitney know about this-- or Lockwood?
5149Does n''t Mr. Lockwood count?
5149Doped?
5149Great heavens, you do n''t mean to say that they went over that?
5149Had your father any enemies who might desire his death?
5149Has anything else happened?
5149Has anything happened?
5149Have they found her?
5149Have you any idea who it could be?
5149Have you any idea who might have an object in stealing the dagger?
5149Have you any recollection of what the inscriptions on it said?
5149Have you asked my mother?
5149Have you found any one who saw her?
5149Have you found anything?
5149Have you found out anything about the poison?
5149Have you heard anything from him?
5149Have you heard anything of a report that the dagger has been found?
5149Have you no suspicions of what became of it and who took it?
5149Have you or any one you know ever sought to discover its secret and search it out?
5149Have you seen Whitney since I had the break with him?
5149He never told you of it?
5149Hello, is Mr. Whitney there?
5149Hello, is that you, Kennedy? 5149 Hello, is this Professor Kennedy?"
5149Hello, what''s new?
5149How about the Senora''s eyes? 5149 How could you, a stranger, know?"
5149How do you feel after your thrilling experience?
5149How''s that?
5149How''s that?
5149How-- what do you mean?
5149I believe you are acquainted with Mr. de Moche, Professor Norton?
5149I do n''t know whether you have noticed it,began Craig,"but I wonder how you feel?"
5149I may ask Professor Kennedy, too?
5149I suppose I may count on your help as the case develops?
5149I suppose Jameson has already told you that I called you up last night-- and what I said?
5149I suppose you know that the old Chimu tribes in the north were the wealthiest at the time of the coming of the Spaniards?
5149I suppose you realize what this means?
5149I suppose you suspected all along that the dagger had something to do with the Gold of the Gods, did you not?
5149I''ve got to go out on a murder case--"An interesting case?
5149I? 5149 If some one has the secret,"he cried hastily,"who knows when and on whom next he may employ it?"
5149If you had asked where Whitney was, I could have understood, but--"Well, where is he?
5149Imply?
5149Indeed?
5149Inez?
5149Is Kennedy in-- oh, he has n''t come back yet?
5149Is Professor Kennedy here?
5149Is either 823 or 827 vacant?
5149Is everything all right?
5149Is he at the Prince Edward Albert?
5149Is that so?
5149Is there a road leading off before you get to the house?
5149Is there any message I can take?
5149Is there any special thing you want to find out?
5149Is there any trace of Inez?
5149It was n''t the maid?
5149It was something about Norton, was n''t it?
5149It was you, I believe, Mr. Lockwood, who found Senor Mendoza last night?
5149It''s as noticeable as that?
5149Just how did you get possession of the dagger?
5149Just what are Mr. Lockwood''s relations with him-- and yours?
5149Kennedy, how did you ever think of such a thing?
5149Kennedy,appealed Lockwood at last, as I hung up the receiver,"will you listen to my story?"
5149Let me see,continued Whitney,"your concessions are all about here, in the north, are n''t they?"
5149Lockwood-- can''t you recognize his voice? 5149 Lockwood?"
5149May I have a cigarette out of that case over there?
5149Mr. Lockwood and Senor Mendoza had some joint interests in the country, too, did n''t they?
5149My God,he exclaimed,"tell me-- she isn''t-- hurt, is she?
5149Nitrous oxide?
5149No bottle, no glass? 5149 No more anonymous letters, I hope?"
5149No one has ever stumbled on the secret?
5149No-- who is this?
5149None of you have seen Whitney here?
5149Not another trace?
5149Nothing else is gone?
5149Oh, Professor Kennedy,she cried finally,"ca n''t you see it?
5149Oh, by the way, any word of Norton?
5149Oh, why did her father ever bring her here to this land of danger?
5149Other warnings?
5149Perhaps it may have been sent to divert suspicion-- who can tell?
5149Professor Kennedy?
5149Say,he ejaculated,"it was Norton brought you into this case, was n''t it?"
5149Senorita,he said finally, in a voice that was deep and thrilling with feeling,"have I ever been other than a friend to you?
5149Shall I send it by a messenger?
5149She thinks it referred to you, then?
5149So-- you''re another rival, are you?
5149Speaking of weapons,broke in Kennedy,"you have had no further idea of why the dagger might have been taken?"
5149Take these gentlemen as far as Smith''s corner, will you?
5149Tell me, Professor Kennedy,she cried, her hands clasped before her in frantic appeal,"tell me-- it is n''t true-- is it?
5149Tell me,urged Kennedy,"how did it happen?
5149The point is,cut in Craig, interrupting,"who was the mysterious visitor to Mendoza the night of his murder?"
5149The weed of madness?
5149Then he might have known?
5149Then how came you here?
5149Then it is pure tradition on which Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Whitney depend in their search for the treasure?
5149Then that was what was the matter?
5149Then what has happened that makes you use the oxygen?
5149Then who has it?
5149Then you fear that in some way she may be connected with these strange changes?
5149Then you have thought of something?
5149Then you know the secret of the hiding- place of the treasure?
5149Then you were listening while I was talking to Professor Norton?
5149Then you-- you believe what he says?
5149Then,he exclaimed, rising,"you must know of the ruins of Chan- Chan, of Chima-- those wonderful places?"
5149Want any help?
5149Was he alone?
5149Was it about anything I should know?
5149Well, have you found out anything more?
5149Well, of all things, what do you think of that?
5149Well, what do you think of that?
5149Well, where are the gold and silver of the conquistadores? 5149 Well,"I remarked, as we walked along,"what do you think it is-- a romance or a simple crime- hunt?"
5149Well,asked Kennedy, pausing with a test- tube poised over a Bunsen burner,"have you found anything yet?
5149Well,he remarked, as we seated ourselves,"how did you come out in your tete- a- tete?"
5149What about it?
5149What are they?
5149What are you doing?
5149What are you going to do-- give it up?
5149What are you going to do?
5149What can we do?
5149What did Lockwood say about Norton?
5149What did he say about me?
5149What did he say?
5149What did he say?
5149What did you find?
5149What did you think of him then?
5149What do you attribute it to?
5149What do you know about that fellow Norton, up at your place?
5149What do you make out of it?
5149What do you mean, man? 5149 What do you suppose is the matter?"
5149What do you think of Lockwood?
5149What do you think of her?
5149What does it mean to you?
5149What does it mean?
5149What has Whitney been doing?
5149What has happened?
5149What has she done to make you fear it?
5149What have you found?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is the effect?
5149What is this deadly poison that was used on Mendoza?
5149What is this''curse of Mansiche''which the Senorita has mentioned?
5149What is your suggestion?
5149What seems to be the matter now?
5149What shall I do? 5149 What the matter?"
5149What then?
5149What was it about?
5149What was it about?
5149What was it you had Inez drop into Whitney''s coffee?
5149What was it?
5149What was that?
5149What was that?
5149What''s he doing?
5149What''s that? 5149 What''s the result of your detective work on Norton?"
5149What-- you here, Kennedy?
5149Whe- where''s Kennedy?
5149When do you expect him?
5149Where are they?
5149Where are you now? 5149 Where did Mr. Whitney go?"
5149Where did he get it?
5149Where did it come from-- and how?
5149Where is Inez Mendoza?
5149Where on earth are you? 5149 Where was Burke-- that man that the police sent up to protect her?"
5149Which way to Stuart Whitney''s estate?
5149Whitney knows her pretty well now, does n''t he?
5149Who is Haggerty?
5149Who is afraid?
5149Who is it?
5149Who is this Senor de Moche?
5149Who is this Senora de Moche?
5149Who sent it?
5149Who told you?
5149Who was it?
5149Who''s this?
5149Who?
5149Who?
5149Whom does it mean?
5149Whose is it?
5149Why do n''t they come out into the open, whoever they are?
5149Why do n''t you and Kennedy try to see Senora de Moche? 5149 Why is it that you fear it?"
5149Why should he have wanted to get me?
5149Why was he here?
5149Why, Juanita,encouraged Kennedy,"what''s the matter?"
5149Why, what has he done?
5149Why-- what has happened?
5149Why-- what''s the matter?
5149Why?
5149Why?
5149Why?
5149Why?
5149With a lantern?
5149With this weed of madness, as you call it?
5149Wo n''t you ask him to come in, Nita?
5149Wo n''t you be seated?
5149Would you care to meet them?
5149Would you like to know why you feel that way?
5149Yes, yes,repeated Kennedy,"but what about her?
5149Yes,repeated Norton,"but have you been able to do anything toward identifying them?"
5149Yes?
5149You are acquainted, I suppose, with a Senora de Moche?
5149You are sure of it?
5149You can read mystery-- like a book?
5149You do n''t think he could have known something about the dagger all along?
5149You had been trying the poison on YOURSELF?
5149You have no idea who could have sent such a note?
5149You have not seen Mr. Lockwood since, I suppose?
5149You have something to report?
5149You have told Inez that?
5149You have?
5149You heard Mr. Lockwood say that he had become associated with a Mr. Whitney, Mr. Stuart Whitney, down in Wall Street?
5149You heard what he said? 5149 You knew that it might offer some clue to the hidden treasure of Truxillo?"
5149You know Mr. Whitney, I suppose?
5149You know Senora de Moche and Alfonso?
5149You know the jimson weed-- the Jamestown weed, as it is so often called?
5149You remember that time in the tea room when we were sitting with Senora de Moche?
5149You remember when we were talking to the watchman down there at the station, Walter?
5149You remember, of course, the various mechanical and electrical ears, such as the detectaphone, which we have used for eavesdropping in other cases?
5149You saw no weapon-- a dagger?
5149You saw nothing about the den that aroused any suspicions?
5149You saw that?
5149You saw the dagger which Norton brought back, did you not?
5149You saw them?
5149You say the dagger was triangular, Norton?
5149You say your father knew the Senora?
5149You see that wound? 5149 You see?"
5149You still have no idea who could have sent it, or why?
5149You suppose?
5149You think you will have something tangible soon?
5149You were acquainted with Lockwood?
5149You were going out?
5149You will drop in on me if you hear anything?
5149You will excuse me a moment?
5149You will excuse me? 5149 You will excuse us?"
5149You will let me know of any development, no matter how trivial?
5149You will tell Mr. Kennedy-- you will both be-- so careful?
5149You''ll let me know, Kennedy, if you discover anything?
5149You''ll wait around a little longer?
5149You-- you are a detective?
5149You-- you got it?
5149A moment later we heard a voice,"I''m sorry to have had to keep you waiting, but what is it that I can do for you?"
5149Ah, well, perhaps it will be better-- who can tell?
5149And if I could not make out Lockwood, a man at least of our own race and education, how could I expect to fathom Alfonso?
5149And if they have"--she paused to emphasize it--"what does that mean?"
5149And it was that, partly, that ailed Mendoza?"
5149And supposing you have it-- what does that imply?"
5149Better yet, you remember how Whitney''s eyes looked, how Inez said her father stared, and how she feared for Lockwood?"
5149Beware of Mr. Lockwood?
5149But did it seem to do so now?
5149But did you notice how the treatment contracted the pupils of Whitney''s eyes almost back to normal again?"
5149But had you no other reason?
5149But is there none left?
5149But what good would that do, around a corner and so far away?
5149But what has that to do with Norton?"
5149But, say, there is a change in Whitney, is n''t there?
5149But, then, it flashed over me, was not my own case worse?
5149By the way, may I trouble you and Leslie to go over to the Museum of Natural History with a letter?"
5149By the way, you know the young man pretty well, do n''t you?
5149Could a human fly have scaled the walls, or an aeroplane have dropped an intruder at the window ledge?
5149Could he have spoken so heartily if he had known what it was, damning to himself, that Kennedy had tucked away in the laboratory?
5149Could he trust being unarmed, while Kennedy and I had all the weapons?
5149Could it be that Senorita Mendoza had some antipathy which did not include the son?
5149Could it be that we were only half right-- that they had gathered here but that Inez had really disappeared?
5149Could it be the same whom we heard over the vocaphone addressed as"Doc"?
5149Could she be in the room?
5149Could she be such a heartless woman as to play on the very heartstrings of one whom she had wronged?
5149Could some one have sent the letter not to produce the effect apparently intended, but with the ultimate object of diverting suspicion from himself?
5149Could there be some scientific explanation of the evil eye?
5149Could they have been hurt, picked up by some one and carried where they could get aid?"
5149Did he know more about the dagger than appeared?
5149Did he know something of the dagger?
5149Did he mean the de Moches?
5149Did it betoken a further tragedy?
5149Did it mean that the treasure would then be left for her family?
5149Did n''t you notice that?
5149Did that mean, necessarily that he committed the murder with it, that he now had it?
5149Did they carry her off-- as they tried to do the other time?"
5149Did you notice a change in Mr. Whitney, or have n''t you known him long enough?
5149Did you tell the elevator boy that she had suddenly been taken ill?
5149Did you, down in your heart, think them really fairy tales?"
5149Do n''t you think that it would be worth while watching Norton?"
5149Do you feel strong enough to go down to Whitney''s with me?"
5149Do you see anything peculiar?"
5149Had Whitney intended the capture of Inez for Lockwood?
5149Had both of them got out of each other all that they wanted-- Norton his reputation and Whitney-- what?
5149Had he been laying low, waiting his opportunity to get away?
5149Had he found a continuation of the tire- tracks?
5149Had he left a legacy of fear of a love forbidden by race prejudice?
5149Had he perhaps had something to do with the nasty business?
5149Had it been for the purpose of throwing us off the track?
5149Had she been preparing to go somewhere, too?
5149Had she really accepted it?
5149Had she telephoned to Alfonso and had he gone alone?
5149Had that been the purpose for which we had been sent on wild- goose chases?
5149Had the Gold of the Gods lured him into its net, too?
5149Had the truth come out in his jests?
5149Had they, then, some significance?
5149Had we been hoaxed and was all this risk in vain?
5149Has any one been here since we have been gone?"
5149Has he ever been here before?"
5149Have I ever given you cause to suspect even one little motive of mine?"
5149Have I no one to trust?"
5149Have you ever done anything with those shoe- prints you found in the dust of the mummy case?"
5149Have you found out anything about the de Moches?"
5149He had raised his voice from the whisper, and I caught Inez looking anxiously at Kennedy, as much as to say,"You see?
5149Hello-- what''s this?"
5149House party?"
5149How about them?
5149How are you making out?
5149How are you?
5149How could he be such a boob as to let the chance slip through his fingers?"
5149How did it happen?"
5149How is Senorita Inez?"
5149How was she when she arrived home?"
5149I guess you know something about that dagger he lost, do n''t you?"
5149I had and said so, adding,"But what was your idea?"
5149I hope your mother is well?"
5149I knew that its three- sided sheath inclosed a sharp blade, yet who would have dreamed that that blade was poisoned?"
5149I presume I shall see you again?"
5149I suppose you know of the loss of the old Inca dagger from the University Museum and that it was that with which Don Luis was murdered?"
5149I suppose you will have to turn in a story to the Star soon?"
5149I trust everything is all right?"
5149I trust that answers your question?"
5149I wonder if you could find him anywhere about the University this morning and persuade him to visit me?"
5149I wonder if you''d object if we had a little luncheon up here, to- morrow?
5149I wonder what caused it?"
5149Inez Mendoza without friends just now would be a mark, would n''t she?"
5149Is it all over?"
5149Is not that enough?"
5149Is she gone?"
5149Is the Gold of the Gods worth it?"
5149Is there anything wrong?"
5149Just a flying trip, I guess-- or does he expect you?"
5149Lockwood seemed to take it as though it applied to himself very readily, did n''t he?
5149Lockwood?"
5149Lockwood?"
5149Luis de Mendoza is the name, and it seems--""Don Luis de Mendoza?"
5149May I see that you get home safely?
5149Might he not have lost it?
5149Might not Mendoza have been murdered with it by some other hand to obtain or to hide the secret on its bloody blade?
5149Might not some of her feelings be readily accounted for?
5149Might not some one else-- the Senora, or Alfonso, or both-- have obtained it?
5149Might not some unseen hand strike at me, perhaps sooner than at him?
5149Might that very fear which the Senorita had of the Senora engender a feeling that would produce the very result that she feared?
5149My God-- where is she?"
5149Now, was she more than a clever actress?
5149Oh, my poor, little girl, what has become of her?
5149Oh, what is it?
5149Oh-- what shall I do?
5149Or was he playing a lone hand?
5149Or was she hinting at Inez accepting Alfonso''s suit?
5149Perhaps somehow it bore the secret of the big fish-- who knows?
5149Perhaps, somehow, Mendoza had the secret of the peje grande?"
5149Put him on, will you?"
5149Rockledge?
5149See?
5149She spoke bitterly; yet might she not mean that the loss of the dagger, the secret, was a curse, too?
5149Such eyes, such a figure-- did you ever see a more beautiful woman?"
5149Suppose the first message were true?
5149Surely you must have some other suspicions,"he persisted,"something that you feel, even though you do not know?"
5149Then are their chances better than others?
5149Then were their chances of finding the treasure any better than any one else had?
5149Then what does he do?
5149There was n''t the odour of any gas or drug?"
5149Understand?"
5149Walter, may I ask you to leave me here in the laboratory undisturbed?"
5149Was Inez really kidnapped this time?
5149Was Lockwood really innocent, after all?
5149Was he implying that it was sent to cast suspicion on him, because he felt that way himself or because he himself was her friend?
5149Was he telling the truth?
5149Was he the one who had got away and now calculated to come back and throw us off guard?
5149Was it Inez, not the dagger, that he really wanted?
5149Was it a coincidence, or was it merely a blind?
5149Was it a fact, or was it merely my imagination?
5149Was it a freak of my mind, or was there some reason for it?
5149Was it a sort of auto- hypnotism?
5149Was it actually a look of relief that crossed her face?
5149Was it possible that there might be something in it-- not objectively, but subjectively?
5149Was it pure fancy, or did I detect a trace of coldness as though there had sprung up something between them?
5149Was it really empty?
5149Was it through loyalty to the man who had contributed to financing his expeditions to South America?
5149Was that the reason why the Senorita so evidently feared her?
5149Was the same idea in his mind, also?
5149Was there some intruder there?
5149Was there still to be vengeance for his downfall?
5149Was there such a thing, I wondered hastily, as the drug of the evil eye?
5149Was this his cover-- to disown Norton?
5149Was this, after all, but a reincarnation of the bloody history of the Gold of the Gods?
5149Well, is Kennedy there?
5149What can it mean?"
5149What could we do?
5149What could we do?
5149What did it all mean?
5149What did it mean?
5149What did it mean?
5149What did you expect to accomplish by it?"
5149What else was there to do?
5149What had happened to him?
5149What has happened?
5149What if there should be something in it?
5149What is it?"
5149What makes them so-- well, effective?"
5149What might not they do with some weird South American poison?
5149What more natural than to think that we were both there?
5149What then more likely to cover himself up than to return when he knew that his entrance would be known, and find the thing himself?"
5149What then?"
5149What was back of it all?
5149What was it, I wondered, that kept him delving into the archaeological lore of the library?
5149What was it-- man or devil?
5149What was it?
5149What was it?
5149What was its message?
5149What was the reason back of it all, I asked, as I thought of those wonderful eyes of hers?
5149What were we to do?
5149What were we to do?
5149What will it be next?
5149What would he ask?
5149What''s that?
5149What?
5149Where are you?"
5149Where did it come from?
5149Where have they taken her?
5149Where is it?"
5149Where is she-- what have you done with her?"
5149Where is she?
5149Where should we go?
5149Where will it end?"
5149Which was he working for, now-- or was he working for himself alone?
5149Which way shall we turn?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Who could have sent the messages to us all?
5149Who could it possibly have been that had conceived this devilish plot?
5149Who had sent the warnings?
5149Who knows?
5149Who knows?
5149Who was likely to have known of curare?
5149Who was the man addressed as"Doc"?
5149Who were these to scorn her race, her family?
5149Who would go in?
5149Why did you pick out this house?"
5149Why do n''t they come out and face me?
5149Why do n''t you go home and take a rest?
5149Why not meet it now?"
5149Why not pause before it is too late?"
5149Why should I do otherwise?"
5149Why tempt fate, then?
5149Will you do it?"
5149With what?"
5149Would any one take advantage of the opportunity to tamper with the box of cigarettes on the table?
5149Would that be natural for one so high- strung?"
5149Would you remember the boy?"
5149Would you treat it seriously or disregard it?
5149XVII THE VOICE FROM THE AIR"Do you believe it?"
5149XXIII THE ACETYLENE TORCH Do you suppose he really had the dagger, or was that a lie?"
5149XXV THE GOLD OF THE GODS"What are you doing here?"
5149You are shadowed by some one-- you think it is by Whitney?"
5149You can come?"
5149You do not think it is Professor Norton, for instance-- or myself?"
5149You have met her?"
5149You have no clue, I suppose?"
5149You have the Star?
5149You know as well as I do that you have planned to get Inez Mendoza away from my influence-- to kidnap her, in other words--""We kidnap her?"
5149You remember the sample of blood which I squeezed from your thumb?
5149You say de Moche is in there yet?"
5149You see how neat it all is?
5149You were poisoned by gas that--""Yes,"I interrupted,"but how, with all the doors locked?"
5149You''re cracking a crib?
5149You''ve been trying to get me all day?
5149asked the coroner eagerly,"nux vomica?"
5149queried Craig,"or to whom it might refer?"
5270A storm?
5270Again-- why do you play vampire roles, Miss Loring?
5270All ready now?
5270All set? 5270 All seven?"
5270An author on the lot at the filming of his picture, to bother the director and to change everything? 5270 And the needle?"
5270And this was the way you had the scene lighted when she dropped unconscious?
5270Any disturbance in the library?
5270Anything which might point to a motive, so that I can approach the case from both directions?
5270Are they distributed widely?
5270Are you accusing Manton of the cold- blooded murder of Stella Lamar to further various financial schemes?
5270Are you insinuating anything, Mackay?
5270Are you sure of your servants? 5270 Are you sure your deputy is n''t romancing?"
5270Are you sure?
5270As a matter of fact, Craig, why should the finding of that cigarette case be a cause for suspicion at all? 5270 But I can assume--""If you are going to assume anything, Walter, why not assume he was the second man, the man who watched the actual intruder?"
5270But can they keep it up? 5270 But how about Gordon?"
5270But is Manton himself financially sound?
5270But what of it if the film makes a big clean- up? 5270 But you have n''t identified it yet?"
5270But you were out here yesterday before the actors arrived, before Manton or any of his technical staff and crew came?
5270But, where did he get the belladonna?
5270Ca n''t you change the story about some way, so you wo n''t lose the value of her work?
5270Can it be the director''s glass?
5270Can you drop us off at the university?
5270Can you point out which one it is?
5270Can you tell me just how the antivenin counteracts the effects of the venom?
5270Can''t-- Isn''t there anyone we can say is innocent, at least, even if we can not begin to fasten the guilt upon somebody?
5270Could I have that for a few days?
5270Could death have resulted from poison administered in some other fashion, by something she had eaten, for instance?
5270Could n''t the scratch be coincidental?
5270Could you give me blood smears and some of the stomach contents, at once? 5270 Craig Kennedy?"
5270Craig,I started, eagerly,"is n''t this all unnecessary?
5270Did she change her clothes out here?
5270Did she have heart trouble?
5270Did she seem her usual self at the start of the scene?
5270Did you ever hear of Mohammed and the mountain, Miss Faye?
5270Did you ever see a print from a dupe negative? 5270 Did you find anything?"
5270Did you have any business with Stella?
5270Did you have any opportunity to talk to Miss Lamar?
5270Did you have your stands any farther back?
5270Did you learn anything else?
5270Did you leave the car then?
5270Did you make any progress?
5270Did you move at all while she was going through her part?
5270Did you notice Millard and Gordon, and now Enid and Marilyn?
5270Did you notice anything particularly out of the way, anything which might be a clue to the manner in which Miss Lamar met her death?
5270Did you notice how they acted?
5270Did you notice the terror in her face when she cried out? 5270 Did you question Manton?"
5270Did you think I expected some one to go walking around the studio scratching his hands? 5270 Did you think I was going to forget you?"
5270Did you try his office at seven hundred and twenty- nine?
5270Did you watch the people at all, Walter?
5270Did-- did you find that here?
5270Do I understand you, Phelps?
5270Do n''t you see?
5270Do n''t you want justice done?
5270Do you feel it is necessary for me to remain any longer?
5270Do you include Gordon in that?
5270Do you know Mr. Phelps''s reason?
5270Do you know anything about Miss Lamar''s death?
5270Do you know anything of a quarrel between Miss Lamar and Gordon?
5270Do you know much about the personal affairs of Miss Lamar?
5270Do you know that Enid Faye''s contract is not with Manton Pictures but with Manton himself? 5270 Do you really suspect Marilyn or Enid?"
5270Do you suppose Enid Faye suggested the use of the drug to Shirley as part of the scheme to kill him? 5270 Do you suppose anyone could have left a package in there-- a bomb, in other words?"
5270Do you suppose it was used because it was quick and was colorless, so as not to be noticed in the glass?
5270Do you suspect Manton of killing her himself?
5270Do you suspect anyone?
5270Do you think he plans something of that kind this morning?
5270Do you think, Mr. Kennedy, that the little can he told you about started the fire?
5270Do you understand now why the night intruder at Tarrytown did not die-- if he is one of our suspects-- from the scratch of the needle?
5270Do you want a ride in to the city, both of you?
5270Do you want to know what I think?
5270Do you--I guess my eyes went wide--"do you expect to dig up a dead man somewhere?
5270Do you-- do you know who it is?
5270Do you-- do you know who it is?
5270Does this mean,he asked,"that the guilty man or woman is some outsider?
5270Dupes?
5270Enid?
5270Everyone is out? 5270 Find something?"
5270For all this, what justification has he had? 5270 Germs?"
5270Granting that Gordon actually had been down there, why should the fact concern us? 5270 Had you been having any trouble?"
5270Half an hour?
5270Has the wonderful Craig Kennedy discovered something?
5270Have n''t about a dozen people described it for you already?
5270Have those other scenes come down?
5270Have you any copies of that particular film?
5270Have you any idea why the doors were open when we went through?
5270Have you any theory as to who killed her?
5270Have you forgotten little Enid altogether? 5270 Have you found out anything yet?"
5270Have you learned anything yet?
5270Have you succeeded in gleaning any facts about the life of Miss Lamar?
5270He has more than one?
5270He is n''t usually that way?
5270He''ll straighten everything up in a hurry, wo n''t he?
5270How about Shirley?
5270How about the itching salve?
5270How about the nocturnal visitor who removed the needle in the dark? 5270 How about the other spots, not the Chinese yellow?"
5270How about the''Black Terror''?
5270How about this solution?
5270How can the towel be a clue to the crime?
5270How could he have died from an overdose of the drug, when he has n''t taken any recently?
5270How could that be? 5270 How could that cause Stella''s death?"
5270How did it happen?
5270How did it work?
5270How did you get in the cellar?
5270How do you account for it yourself?
5270How do you account for the dialogue Jameson overheard?
5270How do you mean, Walter?
5270How do you mean?
5270How do you mean?
5270How do you obtain the serum in quantity?
5270How do you propose to go about things?
5270How do you suppose it got in the car?
5270How do you suppose they could all remain in the same company?
5270How does a fish swim?
5270How does he do it?
5270How does this concern me?
5270How long could it have been there?
5270How long have the other cars been here?
5270How long have you known Millard?
5270How long was the machine alone here in the yard this morning?
5270How long would it take to make a print from the scene where Shirley took the poison?
5270How recently have you seen her?
5270How''s that, Walter?
5270How?
5270I may keep these for a little bit?
5270I suppose you do n''t know Manton is behind this Fortune Features?
5270I wonder what company he got the taxi from?
5270If you can prove who the murderer is, Mr. Kennedy,he exploded,"why do n''t you apprehend him before some one else meets the fate of Werner?"
5270If you have positives,Kennedy asked,"ca n''t you make new negatives?"
5270If you have the blood of another man on your hands--What more could Kennedy want?
5270Is Millard here?
5270Is Millard here?
5270Is Professor Kennedy in?
5270Is everyone here?
5270Is he outside?
5270Is it a man-- or a woman you suspect?
5270Is it necessary to sit back and wait for this unknown to strike again?
5270Is it off with the old and on with the new? 5270 Is it something you can tell me?"
5270Is n''t it hell?
5270Is n''t it possible,I suggested,"that this is a plant; that the tube was put there deliberately, to throw us off the track?"
5270Is n''t there something we can do, Kennedy?
5270Is that all?
5270Is there anything I can do to- night?
5270Is this the largest portion of the room they used?
5270Is this the usual thing or-- or an exception?
5270Is this the way they carry on in the picture world, Walter?
5270It could n''t be broken, by being trampled on?
5270It has been-- it has been in the washroom ever since poor Stella''s death?
5270Just how does the venom act?
5270Just what do you mean, then?
5270Just when do you suppose Stella was pricked?
5270Just who approached closely to Miss Lamar in the making of that thirteenth scene? 5270 Manton has other writers, has n''t he?"
5270Manton? 5270 Marilyn Loring?"
5270May I speak to you a moment, Professor Kennedy-- alone?
5270Millard?
5270Millard?
5270Miss Lamar was''up- stage''?
5270Mr. Phelps is interested in the company?
5270No?
5270Not to save money?
5270Now what connection has the towel with the case? 5270 Now what?"
5270Now--?
5270One of those samples should correspond, I suppose, to the trace of blood on the portieres?
5270Outside?
5270Perhaps you know also that things have n''t been going just right with Manton Pictures?
5270Ready to run the negative?
5270Remember once telling me you wanted to become a director, that you wanted to make pictures for me?
5270Remember that can of undeveloped stuff, a two- hundred roll?
5270Shall I make the collar?
5270Shall I show you the way again?
5270She made a fool of me, and-- and I was engaged to Marilyn Loring--"Were engaged? 5270 Shirley?"
5270Shirley?
5270Some other poison as rare and little known as the snake venom?
5270Stella? 5270 Suppose I start out while you''re busy and try to dig up some more facts about these people?"
5270Tell me all you know about him?
5270Tell me just what happened?
5270Tell me, have you discovered something? 5270 That was the venom?"
5270That''s a theatrical word for cussedness, is n''t it?
5270That''s all you know about Gordon?
5270The camera men, the extras, the technical and studio staffs-- they are not worthy of consideration, are they?
5270The fight with Phelps was over money?
5270The finger- nail files should show a trace of the itching salve? 5270 The mark was n''t made by the needle which scratched her, then?"
5270The negative of that snake picture is here, you said?
5270The three of you were here at the time, were n''t you?
5270The use of the itching salve was unnecessary?
5270Their visits may have been perfectly innocent?
5270Then the apple juice they used for the wine was bad, spoiled?
5270Then what was it? 5270 Then--?"
5270There has been no real trouble between you?
5270There was a second man, and--"A second man?
5270This antivenin was your product, doctor?
5270Understand?
5270Was Stella Lamar making any trouble, of a business nature, such as threatening to quit Manton Pictures?
5270Was anyone, any of those on our list of possible suspects at least, alone in the room-- or in the house?
5270Was n''t he the murderer of the father, also?
5270Was that all you called me out here for? 5270 Was the place guarded well last night?"
5270Was there anything suspicious at that time?
5270Was--Kennedy framed his question carefully--"was your infatuation for Miss Lamar of long duration?"
5270Well, has any regular stuff been brought to you to put away; anything which might have hidden an explosive?
5270Well, how goes it?
5270Well, if it was not an attempt at murder, what was it?
5270Well,he exclaimed,"I do n''t suppose it occurred to any of you SCIENTIFIC guys to search the fellow, now did it?"
5270Were all the scenes in which Miss Lamar appeared before her death in this corner of the room?
5270Were there rattlers in the film?
5270Were you away from the car at Tarrytown?
5270Were you here the night before the murder?
5270Were you watching the taking of the scenes?
5270What about the deputy posted outside?
5270What about the story? 5270 What are they?"
5270What are you driving at, anyway?
5270What are you going to do?
5270What became of the locket about the girl''s neck? 5270 What can Pentangle do for you?
5270What did Marilyn Loring want? 5270 What did the intruder look like?"
5270What did you do with orders like that, such as the one you claim came with the can of undeveloped negative?
5270What do we find?
5270What do you know about Fortune Features?
5270What do you make of it, offhand?
5270What do you make of that?
5270What do you make of the feeling between the different people?
5270What do you mean by tangled motives?
5270What do you mean by that?
5270What do you mean, Jameson?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you think caused the death?
5270What do you think of her?
5270What do you think of this, Craig?
5270What do you think?
5270What do you wish me to do, Miss Loring?
5270What does it do?
5270What does it mean?
5270What happened?
5270What have these little marks to do with that?
5270What if you do have to wear a bandage around your head? 5270 What is Manton up to?"
5270What is it, Miss Faye?
5270What is it?
5270What is that?
5270What is the invisible menace of which you spoke, Craig?
5270What is the little fact? 5270 What is the story you are making?
5270What is the trouble with Manton Pictures?
5270What is''Fortune Features''?
5270What symptoms did you observe?
5270What then?
5270What was Mr. Shirley down there for, Miss Loring?
5270What was it you wanted to say?
5270What was she supposed to do in the very first scene? 5270 What''s an actor doing down in the film vaults?"
5270What''s that?
5270What''s the idea, Craig?
5270What''s the idea?
5270What-- what''s happened?
5270What?
5270What?
5270When did you close the vaults?
5270When was this?
5270Where are the dressing rooms?
5270Where are the first- aid kits?
5270Where can I find Manton now?
5270Where can I hire about a dozen good men to hang around and watch-- and-- and help you get to the bottom of this?
5270Where did you say Wagnalls went?
5270Where is Millard? 5270 Where''s Wagnalls?"
5270Where-- where did you find it?
5270Which is--?
5270Who are they?
5270Who could have been in the washroom just before me?
5270Who else entered the scene besides Gordon?
5270Who else is in the building here?
5270Who has been in the set since I left with the doctor?
5270Who is Werner?
5270Who is it?
5270Who killed her?
5270Who rode in your car yesterday?
5270Who shall I say was here, sah?
5270Who was in the cast, Mr. Werner? 5270 Who was it?
5270Who were the various callers?
5270Who''s the second girl, I wonder?
5270Who-- who do you want present in the projection room?
5270Whom did he see hanging around?
5270Why Jacques''?
5270Why could n''t you just put it somewhere without all the preparation,Mackay suggested,"and watch to see who came after it?"
5270Why did you come to see me this morning? 5270 Why did you leave?
5270Why did you wish the scenes in''The Black Terror''actually taken in your library?
5270Why did you wish these scenes photographed out here?
5270Why do you''vamp''?
5270Why should Jack Gordon, the leading man, be down there?
5270Why upon Gordon?
5270Why were you taking these scenes out here?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Will I be unable to act before the camera any more?
5270Will it make a scar?
5270Will the antivenin show in the blood after four, perhaps five days?
5270Will they do justice to your work,Kennedy inquired,"putting you in a partially finished picture in this way?"
5270Will you arrange to keep the people I have yet to question separate from the ones I have examined already?
5270Will you be able to help me, to stay with Jameson and myself all day?
5270Will you describe just what happened?
5270Will you do it for me, Kauf?
5270Will you have Miss Loring next?
5270Will you lend me a pocket knife for a moment?
5270Will-- will you be able to save him, Professor?
5270Wo n''t you phone me sometime? 5270 Would anyone have time to do it?"
5270Would n''t it have been easier and cheaper in the long run to reproduce it in the studio?
5270Would n''t some pigment, some color, have served the purpose better?
5270Would you care to go down to the negative vaults with me?
5270Yes, Huroki?
5270Yes?
5270Yes?
5270Yes?
5270Yes?
5270You are familiar with the script of''The Black Terror,''are n''t you? 5270 You are responsible for the trouble between Miss Lamar and Gordon, then?"
5270You are sure you have missed nothing?
5270You brought the three to the studio here?
5270You can see that Manton''s the logical man?
5270You do n''t think the poison was planted later during the excitement?
5270You expect to find the blood of one of those people showing traces of the antivenin?
5270You have a sample of each article of food now?
5270You have had no trouble, no disagreements recently?
5270You have no hypothesis?
5270You have no more description than of the first man?
5270You have the bag and all the evidence?
5270You have used them, though?
5270You know nothing of her difficulties with her husband?
5270You mean something by that, do n''t you?
5270You mean, then, that you may be attacked yourself? 5270 You played the millionaire yourself?"
5270You recognize me, McGroarty, the chauffeur as found the little bottle?
5270You remember that my deputy heard the sound of a departing automobile? 5270 You say she only pretended to be cool?"
5270You say you were just trying to get me, Mackay? 5270 You simply want to assure me of his innocence?"
5270You suspected something of this kind, then, when you first examined Stella Lamar?
5270You think Miss Lamar was n''t as bad as painted?
5270You think they are the most likely suspects?
5270You think this has something to do with the case?
5270You think, then, she was scratched deliberately by some one during the taking of the scenes?
5270You were engaged to her?
5270You were not here the night before the murder, then?
5270You''ll excuse us?
5270You''ll say nothing of this?
5270You''re going to plant the towel,I asked,"so that the interested party will try to get hold of it?"
5270You-- you want to project the NEGATIVE?
5270All the other things point to him, do n''t they?"
5270Am I right?"
5270And had Phelps in insane passion revenged himself on her?
5270And who had been involved?
5270But what of him?
5270Ca n''t you see it?
5270Ca n''t you see that Shirley is the guilty man?
5270Can you see that if Manton Pictures fails the Fortune company will be able to pick up the studio and all the equipment for a song?
5270Could Enid, by any chance, be concerned in that?
5270Could Gordon''s debts have any bearing upon the case?
5270Could Werner have been at Tarrytown?
5270Could he prefer deliberate murder to granting her her freedom?
5270Could it be possible that Millard was unwilling, after all, to surrender her?
5270Did n''t she?"
5270Did she think him dead?
5270Did you just want to show me the pinholes in those portieres?"
5270Did you see the reference to stabilizing the industry?
5270Do you follow me?"
5270Do you get that?"
5270Do you realize that there is n''t room both for this older company and the new Fortune Features?
5270Do you want it?"
5270Does n''t it make you laugh, what the public think he is-- clean- cut, hero, and all that sort of thing?
5270G.''?"
5270Had Kennedy, after all, some knowledge of motion pictures stored away with his vast fund of general and unusual information?
5270Had Manton taken fright in earnest at the possibility of fire, or had he given his employees a genuine scare?
5270Had Stella broken him?
5270Had Stella received an injection of some new and curious substance?
5270Had Werner known we were coming for him?
5270Had an attempt been made yet to steal it from the locker?
5270Had he been watching us?
5270Had he forgotten?
5270Had he thought to bring about his own end in the most spectacular fashion possible?
5270Had that constant high tension forced him to find relief in the most violent relaxation?
5270Had the mystery been solved?
5270Had there been another encounter with fists?
5270Has n''t he been eliminated from our calculations as surely as the man slain yesterday?"
5270Have n''t you noticed how stockily and powerfully the director is built?"
5270Have they the money?"
5270Have you discovered any possible clue?
5270He''s been trying to hold up the company for fifteen hundred a week, which would double his salary-- perhaps you''ve heard that?"
5270How could he, really loving her, think of such things as the make- up left on his face, or his clothes?
5270How could the deductive method produce results in a case as mysterious as this?
5270How did you uncover his trail?"
5270How far are you going?"
5270How would anyone know where her arm would be?"
5270How would you like to finish the direction?"
5270However, I reflected, if Stella had chosen to play the little fool, why should Millard have allowed that to ruin his own chances?
5270I thought perhaps the heat--""You saw nothing suspicious,"interrupted Kennedy,"nothing in the actions or manner of anyone in the room?"
5270I thought quickly, then inquired;"Could it be the snake venom again?"
5270I-- I wonder if belladonna would n''t brighten them up a bit and-- well, get you by, for to- day?"
5270III TANGLED MOTIVES"Do you wish to examine the people now?"
5270IX WHITE- LIGHT SHADOWS"What do you think of it?"
5270If Manton Pictures goes up, then he will have to swing her into Fortune Features-- the other Manton enterprise, do n''t you see?"
5270If Shirley had taken you into his confidence, for instance--?"
5270If it was Werner, how do you account for the fact that he is still alive?"
5270In fact, did n''t Enid make her agreement with Manton personally?
5270Is Phelps to be cast aside like a squeezed- out lemon, and Leigh taken on for a new citrus fruit?"
5270Is n''t it enough?"
5270Is n''t it funny?"
5270Is n''t that likely to be the director?
5270Is that correct, Craig?"
5270Is that still your answer?"
5270Is there any trouble between Manton and yourself?"
5270Is there anything at all I can do to help?"
5270Is there some clue to the guilty man?"
5270Is there some one we suspect and have n''t seen since yesterday?"
5270Is there something I can do?"
5270It''s a masked ball, is n''t it?
5270Jameson?"
5270Kennedy''s face was noncommittal,"Why do you say that?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Manton?"
5270Manton?"
5270Manton?"
5270Manton?"
5270Merle Shirley?"
5270Millard?"
5270Now who, out of all our people with possible motives, are intelligent enough and clever enough to be guilty?"
5270On a chance I went on, with a knowing smile,"I guess it was pretty late when he came in last night?"
5270Phelps?"
5270Phelps?"
5270Remember the action of the script?"
5270Shirley?"
5270Shirley?"
5270Suppose, after all, Werner should return home unexpectedly?
5270Tell me, do you like little Enid?"
5270Tell me, have you found anything?
5270Tell me, what''s your first name?"
5270That was built for Stella, was n''t it?"
5270That''s the experience of any girl who rises to a position of prominence and--""How were the relations between Miss Lamar and yourself?"
5270Then Manton was n''t talking for effect when he told Miss Faye that the company was broke?"
5270Understand?"
5270Was Manton framing up the same sort of game again on Leigh?
5270Was he connected in some way with the vague mystery Kennedy seemed to sense in connection with the basement and the film vaults?
5270Was he trying to be witty at Manton''s expense?
5270Was it because the thought of poison reminded him of the two deaths so close to him, or was it from some more potent twinge of conscience?
5270Was it blackmail Stella had levied on Phelps, I wondered?
5270Was it due to the high pressure of his profession?
5270Was n''t an attempt made to kill him just now?
5270Was n''t it evident that he was considered as dangerous to the unknown as Werner, the director?
5270Was she taking from him to give to Gordon?
5270Was she the real cause of the tangle in his affairs?
5270Was that terror, really?
5270Was this a case of suicide?
5270Was this another clue?
5270Was this the fancy of a drug- weakened brain?
5270We was lookin''at it because it was on the varnish and the butler he says--""Where''s the locket?"
5270Well, I do n''t like the way the heavy man Mr. Werner had--""Shirley?
5270What I wonder is, was Marilyn as jealous of Stella as her screen character would make her in a story?
5270What good did it do?
5270What is it?"
5270What was the poison that killed Stella Lamar?"
5270What was the use of disputing the matter?
5270What were they playing and just exactly what was each doing at the time of Miss Lamar''s collapse?"
5270What, I wondered, was Phelps telephoning here for?
5270Who could the self- constituted watcher have been?
5270Who had struck down an innocent man to save a guilty neck?
5270Who possessed such amazing callousness that an exhibition of this sort brought no outcry?
5270Who was interested in this case other than the proper authorities?
5270Who was near enough to have inflicted a wound, or to have subjected her, suppose we say, to the fumes of some subtle poison?"
5270Who was the guilty person?
5270Who-- who is Larry, I wonder?"
5270Why did you wait for''The Black Terror''?"
5270Why go over to McCann''s in business hours?"
5270Why not at the studio?
5270Why not cancel Lamar contract after"Black Terror,"if she continues up- stage?
5270Why should he wreck Manton Pictures, you ask?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Will you lunch Tuesday at the P. G. tearoom?
5270Will you superintend the assembly of the scenes, so that you can be sure nothing is taken out or omitted?"
5270With all these troubles, how could he pilot us about?
5270Won''t-- won''t YOU come down and dance?"
5270Would you like to come along?"
5270XII EMERY PHELPS"There-- there is something the matter with the curtains?"
5270XXI MERLE SHIRLEY OVERACTS Appalled, I wondered who it was who had, to cover up one crime, committed another?
5270You are sure everybody is safe?"
5270You had heard?"
5270You know how it is?"
5270You saw it?
5270You''ve got a monk''s cowl over everything but your features, have n''t you?"
5270You''ve heard of Fortune Features, perhaps?"
5270You''ve heard of him, the greatest villain ever known to the films?
5270You''ve something to tell me and you want me to come right out-- you have summoned Phelps and he''s on his way from the city also--?"
5270he asked,"to get a hang- nail?"
5270or ask me for a dance?"
33466''But what''s the use?'' 33466 A cat?"
33466A fake Watteau?
33466A rebate,Kennedy went on insinuatingly,"a commission on the bill-- you understand?
33466A specialist?
33466A yacht?
33466Absolutely?
33466Against_ you_?
33466And madame-- has she any idea where she is?
33466And she?
33466And that that picture of Faber''s is the real original, after all?
33466And what does it do?
33466And what is a geophone?
33466And why was she talking with Preston?
33466And you think this was such a case?
33466And you think,he queried,"that in some way this woman is connected with the strange change that has taken place in your father?"
33466Any trace yet of the Invincible?
33466Anything peculiar?
33466Are they living? 33466 Are you sure it was a Secret Service man?"
33466Attacked and carried off?
33466Authenticated?
33466Blow us up first?
33466But her valuables?
33466But how about the other one?
33466But how can you?
33466But is that all?
33466But the motive?
33466But they did n''t travel in the same circle, did they?
33466But what does it do?
33466But what other reason could there have been for her condition?
33466But why did she go there?
33466But why do you come to me?
33466But will you attend to that end of the affair for me, Walter? 33466 But, is it impossible, as some of the old scientists have proved to their own satisfaction it must be?"
33466By a Miss Fleming?
33466By the way, Dunn,remarked Craig at length,"who is that fellow-- over there with the woman in blue-- the fellow with the heavy braided coat?"
33466By the way, do you know that Miss Fleming was said to have had the original-- and that it is gone?
33466By the way, have you found out anything about the Baroness?
33466Ca n''t you have her get acquainted-- just as a precaution-- with that man? 33466 Can I help you out?"
33466Can you be here at, say, eight?
33466Can you go down with me now and meet Mr. Tresham? 33466 Can you go over to Brooklyn with me now?"
33466Can you locate Castine and that woman and come up to the laboratory-- right away?
33466Can you tell me why?
33466Chase,he instructed, when we were seated in the office,"you recall that advertisement of the lost necklace in the_ Star_ by La Rue& Co.?"
33466Chickens?
33466Could you discover them if they were?
33466Creighton,I repeated, looking at the man on the floor,"a dummy?"
33466Cyanogen?
33466Did I hear you refer to the Invincible?
33466Did Madame Dupres know the Baroness Von Dorf?
33466Did Signor Franconi-- ever go with them?
33466Did anything happen downtown?
33466Did she recognize anything, say anything?
33466Did you ever hear of the great diamond, the Invincible?
33466Did you never hear of a picture with a dual personality?
33466Did you see anything peculiar take place in the locker- room?
33466Disappeared?
33466Do n''t you see? 33466 Do n''t you think a cancer specialist would be more likely to help you?"
33466Do n''t you think we might leave the door ajar a little?
33466Do n''t you want more light?
33466Do they explain Rawaruska''s death?
33466Do you happen to know that girl, Cecilie Safford, that Broadhurst''s trainer, Murchie, eloped with?
33466Do you know of any enemies of his on the boat?
33466Do you know the new wireless operator who goes with us tonight?
33466Do you know what I''ve just heard?
33466Do you know,he whispered so faintly that it was almost lost,"sometimes I think there is a plot against me?"
33466Do you know?
33466Do you remember that bottle I picked up last night? 33466 Do you suppose she is as intimate with Creighton as she implies?"
33466Do you suppose that means the clever little Russian dancer who was in the''Revue''last year?
33466Do you suppose vibration caused it?
33466Do you think it is possible for an owner to make a financial success of racing without betting?
33466Do you think they have been doped?
33466Does Mrs. Seabury herself understand it?
33466Dope? 33466 Doped?"
33466Electrolysis?
33466Forsythe& Co.?
33466Friends of his?
33466Gaskell?
33466H- m,mused Kennedy, looking fixedly at Burke,"that complicates matters, does n''t it?
33466H. Morgan Sherburne?
33466Had n''t we better warn her?
33466Has that taxicab gone?
33466Have you a photograph of Gloria?
33466Have you any idea what the papers mean by that?
33466Have you communicated with the Baroness?
33466Have you found anything definite?
33466Have you found anything yet?
33466Have you found anything yet?
33466Have you found anything?
33466Have you heard anything new?
33466Have you searched?
33466Have you the letter here?
33466He wanted it thrown overboard?
33466Hello-- oh, Miss Tourville, how do you do? 33466 His own trunk?"
33466How about Benson, the steward?
33466How about exercise?
33466How about that other little woman we saw?
33466How about the Señora?
33466How about the other admirers?
33466How about those things you found in the maid''s room?
33466How can I ever thank you?
33466How could Leon have been killed?
33466How could anyone take it out, without being seen? 33466 How did you become interested in this perpetual motion machine, Miss Laidlaw?"
33466How did you find it out?
33466How do you figure that woman out?
33466How was she discovered?
33466How would she relish having that told to Mr. Seabury-- backed up by the possession of the key?
33466How''s that?
33466I hope you''ll excuse me?
33466I know,persisted Craig,"but had he taken out his naturalization papers here?"
33466I may photograph your copy of the Fête?
33466I suppose he did n''t notice what kind of wagon it was?
33466I suppose you are acquainted with Watteau''s''Fête du Printemps''?
33466I suppose you have animals here for experiment?
33466I suppose you have heard of the famous''Fête du Printemps,''by Watteau?
33466I suppose you have no objection to my taking some of this sample of the contents of the organs of her body, have you?
33466I suppose you know that I have a country estate not far from my daughter?
33466I understand,agreed Craig,"but why did they suspect your son?"
33466I understand,he went on, not waiting for a reply,"that you are interested in the case of that little Russian actress, Rawaruska?"
33466I wonder if he''s waiting for her?
33466I wonder what he dropped in for?
33466I wonder whether you know a Dr. Adam Loeb?
33466I-- in New York?
33466If that''s the case, who would be the most likely person to do such a thing?
33466If you get on the trail, will you wire me?
33466If you would-- how could I ever thank you? 33466 In what is Mr. Morehouse most interested?
33466Installing a wireless plant?
33466Is Mr. Allison at home?
33466Is it that you think it possible to produce cancer artificially and purposely?
33466Is that detectaphone thing out of business now?
33466Is there a Mr. Kennedy there?
33466Is there anyone here who might know something about him-- his habits, associates,--that sort of thing?
33466Is there anyone you suspect?
33466Is there anything about the matter-- of a personal nature-- that you have n''t told? 33466 It could not be delivered to a woman who was once the maid of Rawaruska, the Russian dancer?"
33466It does n''t follow that he was killed in his room, does it?
33466Just what is this force you call vibrodyne?
33466Loeb?
33466Madame Dupres?
33466May I look around?
33466May I use your telephone?
33466May there not be molecular, atomic, even ionic forces of which we have not dreamed? 33466 Meanwhile, I may have the key, I suppose?"
33466Miss Tourville''s, also?
33466Must pay-- we''ll never get anything on you?
33466Narcophin?
33466Nikola-- what is the matter?
33466No one suspects?
33466No peculiar odor, no receptacle of any kind near her that might have held poison?
33466No?
33466Not ergot?
33466Nothing?
33466Of course-- why not?
33466Oh, Mr. Jameson,I heard Mrs. Ferris''s voice calling over long distance from Briar Lake anxiously,"is Mr. Kennedy there?
33466Oh, Professor Kennedy,she exclaimed in a sudden burst of renewed feeling,"do n''t you understand?
33466Oh, ca n''t you help me find Nikola?
33466Oh,I breathed, with a sigh of relief,"that''s it, is it?"
33466Oh-- will you?
33466Petzka?
33466Sherburne, you say?
33466So-- you are a detective?
33466Someone might have lowered the trunk from the window by a rope, might they not?
33466Something afterward?
33466Still,I objected,"dancing even in the wild, stimulating emotional manner you see here need not be merely an incitement to love, need it?
33466Surrounded by all this junk that may blow us to kingdom come any second?
33466Suspect?
33466That holder?
33466That''s all right,I said in desperation,"But suppose they blow us up, first?"
33466That?
33466The door was not locked, you say?
33466The safety vault company have n''t complained?
33466The weed of madness?
33466Then you are, as I suspected, a detectif?
33466Then you have the telephote in actual operation?
33466Then you think Lady Lee was doped?
33466Then you will come down tonight?
33466Then you will take it up-- you are interested?
33466There''s a woman-- what? 33466 Us?"
33466War brokers?
33466Was anyone associated with Delaney in the syndicate here?
33466Was he poisoned? 33466 Was she conscious?"
33466Was there any evidence of a struggle?
33466Well, are you ready for them?
33466Well,I asked,"do you find anything there?"
33466Well,I said, when we were alone,"what is it-- a romance or a crime?"
33466Were there any other people on the boat who might be worth watching?
33466Were there any others?
33466Wh- what do you find?
33466What are they?
33466What are you doing?
33466What are you doing?
33466What are you working on now?
33466What could it have been, then?
33466What did Collette mean by her frightened cry of the''voodoo sign''?
33466What did cause them, then?
33466What did you do?
33466What did you say? 33466 What do they show to an expert?"
33466What do you know of the bankers, Forsythe& Co.?
33466What do you mean? 33466 What do you mean?"
33466What do you suppose he has done with the motor?
33466What do you think it is?
33466What do you think of Creighton''s motor?
33466What do you think?
33466What does Miss Allison think?
33466What happened to shake your brother''s faith?
33466What has happened?
33466What has it been used for?
33466What have you found?
33466What have you there?
33466What is he-- a Hungarian or a Servian?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is that?
33466What is that?
33466What is the case, Doctor?
33466What is the curse of Mansiche?
33466What is the matter?
33466What is this thing?
33466What line of work had he taken up?
33466What motive would there be?
33466What sort of places?
33466What then?
33466What was it you had the Señorita drop into his coffee?
33466What was it?
33466What was it?
33466What was to be done? 33466 What works?"
33466What''s doing now?
33466What''s that? 33466 What''s that?"
33466What''s the instrument?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the trouble with Hayti, then?
33466What''s the trouble?
33466What''s the use of that?
33466What''s this?
33466When did he disappear?
33466Where can I see Gloria?
33466Where did you put them?
33466Where did you usually-- er-- meet Sherburne?
33466Where is my husband?
33466Where is the body?
33466Where was Benson''s room?
33466Who are these rapid youngsters?
33466Who are they all, do you suppose?
33466Who found her?
33466Who is he?
33466Who is he?
33466Who is it?
33466Who is she?
33466Who is that Mrs. Barry of whom Miss Laidlaw spoke?
33466Who is that woman?
33466Who is this Señora de Moche?
33466Who recommended you?
33466Who was her husband?
33466Who was it that went out?
33466Who was it?
33466Whose car was that?
33466Whose shop is that?
33466Whose yacht do they think it is?
33466Why did you suppose I let them go?
33466Why do you suppose he went to all that trouble?
33466Why not? 33466 Why not?"
33466Why should she have taken it?
33466Why that anxiety from him? 33466 Why, do n''t you understand?
33466Why, what do you mean?
33466Why, what''s the matter?
33466Will you be so kind as to step into the little anteroom with me?
33466Will you tell me what your precise business is in this hotel?
33466Would you mind baring your arm a moment?
33466Would you mind meeting him there again this afternoon so that I could see him?
33466Yes,said Burke, in surprise,"do you know anything about him?"
33466Yes-- I can do that-- but do n''t you think it is risky? 33466 Yes?"
33466You are Professor Kennedy, the detective?
33466You assume, then, that it was the blow that killed Evans?
33466You ca n''t make up your mind which one you care for most, then? 33466 You did n''t do anything more about that electrolysis clew?"
33466You do n''t believe it, then?
33466You do n''t know anything more about her-- where she came from-- her connections?
33466You have a theory of your own?
33466You have eaten nothing today, then, I am to understand?
33466You knew Monsieur Leon well?
33466You knew her, of course?
33466You know Mrs. Barry''s number?
33466You know her?
33466You know the jimson weed-- the Jamestown weed? 33466 You mean Castine?"
33466You mean that somehow a copy by Miss Fleming has come really to Jacot with instructions to palm it off on some gullible buyer?
33466You mean, do I believe her story-- of her relations with this fellow, Sherbourne?
33466You mean,I asked as the result of Craig''s quick thinking dawned on me,"that you told him Sherburne was_ your_ operative?"
33466You must go back to the boat?
33466You remember how Gloria seemed to stand in fear of Du Mond? 33466 You remember the mercury vapor light?"
33466You saw that?
33466You say you have never written a line to the fellow nor he to you?
33466You were present when they were demanding that his body be thrown over, were you not? 33466 You will think over my proposition?"
33466You''ve heard of anthrax?
33466You''ve seen it, I suppose?
33466You-- you''ll forgive me-- for my-- unjust suspicions-- Agatha?
33466Your husband was not a reservist of any of the countries at war, was he?
33466_ Was_ it one of Anita Allison''s many admirers who did this thing?
33466And Margot?
33466And if anything were ever discovered, what more natural than to throw the suspicion on a veterinary who was supposed to know all about anthrax?"
33466And what do I find?
33466And who would bear the blame?
33466Are they here now?"
33466As soon as the things are detonated I will get off, some way, by wireless the S O S-- as if it came from the fleet, you understand?"
33466Before he could speak, Kennedy asked,"Who was that woman?"
33466But a woman?
33466But had she been cleared from one peril only to fall a victim to another-- the one she already feared?
33466But might not the harm have already been done?
33466But then, I reasoned, would he have been so free in showing the key if he had realized that it might cast suspicion on himself?
33466But there was Allan Wyndham-- he''s a friend of the Allisons,--why should n''t they suspect him?
33466But to see the eyeballs turn green is uncanny, is n''t it?"
33466But was he a scientific villain?
33466But who could have wanted her kept on the boat?
33466But who put it there?
33466But why should I do anything to him?
33466But why?
33466But with such a scandal-- how can we expect it?
33466But with whom?
33466But, by Jingo, no sooner was I over the side of the ship than what do you suppose I ran up against?"
33466But, why?
33466By the way, has he told you his own theory?"
33466CHAPTER XXII THE ABSOLUTE ZERO"Is n''t there some way you can save him, Professor Kennedy?
33466CHAPTER XXVIII THE CANCER HOUSE"You''ve heard of such things as cancer houses, I suppose, Professor Kennedy?"
33466Ca n''t you help me?"
33466Ca n''t you imagine anyone who might want you detained longer?"
33466Can it be natural, I ask myself?
33466Comprenez- vous?"
33466Could it be that someone was using these new forces with devilish ingenuity?
33466Could it have been Petzka who was responsible for the fires?
33466Could it have been a suicide, after all?
33466Could the man have been drugged, perhaps, and then shot?
33466Could there be, I wondered, an X- ray outfit or perhaps radium concealed about the living rooms of the house?
33466Could they be of use?"
33466Could you take us up to Delaney''s rooms?
33466Creighton?"
33466Did Dr. Goode refer indirectly to him?
33466Did McGee figure that the horses ahead of him were setting such a fast clip that they would drop back to him before the race was over?
33466Did n''t anyone hear anything?"
33466Did n''t you notice that?
33466Did she suspect that we knew something or was she herself seeking information?
33466Did you get your photograph?"
33466Did you notice how it contracted his pupils almost back to normal again?"
33466Do you know him?"
33466Do you think there is any way I can get free from him?
33466Does it occur to you that he might perhaps think he was playing us for suckers, after all?"
33466Does n''t her husband support her?"
33466Had Craig deliberately let Creighton have a chance to get away, in order that he might convict himself?
33466Had Margot been simply a high- class"fence"for the disposal and convenient reappearance of stolen goods?
33466Had he fled, too,--perhaps forced her to go with him when Mrs. Du Mond appeared?
33466Had he or someone else got wind of the raids and tipped off Dr. Loeb?
33466Had it been by a deft touch on a nerve of her beautiful, soft neck that had constricted the throat and cut off her breath?
33466Had she accepted Miss Laidlaw''s invitation to call in order to look us over, knowing that we had come to do the same?
33466Had the message which we had seen her read at the start been from Du Mond?
33466Had the unconscious blunder betrayed something which perhaps she herself consciously did not realize?
33466Had we not heard him say that the signal was to be an S O S sent, as it were, from the fleet far out on the ocean?
33466Has some one of her friends taken advantage of her to learn our habits and get into the house and get it?
33466Have you found out anything?"
33466He had raised his voice from the whisper and I caught the Señorita looking anxiously at Kennedy, as much as to say,"You see?
33466Here, in this projector--""That is the transmitting part of the apparatus?"
33466How about that?"
33466How can we reconstruct them?"
33466How could it be done?
33466How could one ever find out now where she was, in the present state of affairs abroad, even supposing it were not a ruse to cover up something?
33466How do you explain them?
33466How friendly were they?"
33466How should I know anything of that?
33466How would after dinner do?
33466How would he meet it?
33466I have heard him ask fifty times,''Where have they taken him?''
33466I suppose you know how stray or vagrant currents affect steel and concrete?"
33466I suppose you remember him?"
33466I wonder what the man is doing?"
33466I wonder whether you are acquainted with my methods of treatment?"
33466I wondered whether someone had sought to conceal the fact that he had a copy of the famous Watteau, made by Miss Fleming?
33466I''ll see you, I presume, when the Señorita and Don Luis come back?"
33466If I should go out to Norwood with you as soon as you feel better, would n''t that be all right?"
33466If Rita had warned Faber against us, and Leila had warned Jacot, which had copy and which original?
33466If not that, what object could there be for anyone to cause such a condition?
33466In furniture?
33466In pictures?
33466Is it for fear that we might discover something which might be covered up?"
33466Is it mere chance?"
33466Is it merely meeting her here?
33466Is that it?"
33466Is the body still there?"
33466Is there any way of sending a wireless message from this place?"
33466Is there not something back of it?"
33466It was only a moment later that the hatch was broken open and we heard the welcome brogue of Burke, calling,"Kennedy-- are you and Jameson all right?"
33466Jacot leaned over confidentially to Kennedy and added,"Why not sell as an original, not this, but another copy-- a-- a-- what you call it?--a fake?"
33466Kennedy looked at the purser keenly for a moment, then asked,"Were they traveling together?"
33466Loeb?"
33466May I?"
33466May it not be a normal gratification of the love instinct-- eroticism translated into rhythm?
33466Might it be for the purpose of robbery?
33466Might not someone have taken the keys from his pocket, gone up to the room without making any noise and let the trunk down here by a rope?
33466Morehouse?"
33466Mr. Seabury, how long have you felt as you say that you do?"
33466Oh, Mr. Jameson, what does it all mean?
33466Oh, ca n''t you find out?
33466On it were the initials"R. T."Had Rita Tourville visited him?
33466Or had it been asphyxiation due to a poison that had paralyzed the chest muscles?
33466Or might it be for revenge?
33466Or were they both copies and had the original been hidden?
33466Or, had there been a"triangle,"perhaps a quadrangle here?
33466Or, have they put her up to getting it?"
33466Perhaps it will strike me-- or my brother, Lionel-- who can tell?
33466Perhaps the thing is all right, but,--well, what do I really know about it?"
33466Pine business-- eh?
33466Preston?"
33466Ritter will call for you?
33466Still, they might be inside the walls, might n''t they?"
33466The race had been won-- but had the problem been solved?
33466Then if he had dropped the rope, locked the door, and returned the keys to Benson''s pockets-- how about that?"
33466Then why the struggle?
33466Understand?"
33466Was Creighton afraid of arousing the jealousy of Adele Laidlaw?
33466Was Jacot hinting at something known in the trade?
33466Was Sherburne to escape, after all, and ruin her?
33466Was he afraid of a love forbidden by race prejudice?
33466Was he hopelessly out of date, or really ahead of his time?
33466Was it Faber, or Jacot, or was it someone else?
33466Was it Tresham, after all, whom she really admired and wanted to see?
33466Was it a fact or was it merely imagination?
33466Was it a sort of auto- hypnotism?
33466Was it because Creighton had gone off with her money, or was it pique because Mrs. Barry had, perhaps, won him?
33466Was it in his eyes, or was it merely his ardent foreign grace?
33466Was it merely to get this cattle contract, big as that was?
33466Was it merely to vindicate his professional pride at the failure he and the Coroner had had so far with the case?
33466Was it on account of the telephone call?
33466Was it really, I wondered, that Creighton, more than his motor, has fascinated her?
33466Was it to prevent anyone from thinking that the owner had ever had any connection with Rhoda Fleming?"
33466Was it too late?
33466Was she really afraid of him?
33466Was the plan to elope and so avoid his wife?
33466Was the"evil eye"of superstition a scientific fact?
33466Was there a baneful beam that could be directed at will-- one that could not be seen or felt until it worked its havoc?
33466Was there a power that steel walls could not hold, which, in fact, was the more surely transmitted by them?
33466Was there any significance in the mistake?
33466Was there some subtle, unknown poison which had hitherto baffled science, but which now he was about to reveal to us?
33466Was there such a thing as the drug of the evil eye?
33466Was there treachery in the crew?
33466Was this the"safe"poison at last?
33466Were we really on the right track at last?
33466What can I do for you?"
33466What could have been more evident than that she was seeking evidence and such evidence could only have been for a court of law in a divorce suit?
33466What could these women be thinking of?
33466What did Craig mean?
33466What did he mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did she mean?
33466What did they know of the men, except their clothes and steps?
33466What do you think of it?"
33466What had Rita told him?
33466What had done it, I wondered?
33466What if he had been observed and someone were down there investigating?
33466What more natural, then, than for him to visit that locker when he returned from town, open it?
33466What shall I do?
33466What was his connection with Rita, I wondered?
33466What was it he had discovered?
33466What was the purpose back of it all?
33466What would they show?
33466What''s your theory, then,--foul play?"
33466Where had she placed the diamond?
33466Where have they gone?"
33466Where was Du Mond?
33466Which of them typified Creighton?
33466Who had been dining with her that fatal evening?"
33466Who had it been?
33466Who had the knowledge that would suggest using such a poison?
33466Who had the motive?
33466Who had the real masterpiece?
33466Who is he?"
33466Who knows but that he made her get it to save her reputation?
33466Who next?"
33466Who was foremost in that?"
33466Who was it who had conceived and executed this devilish plot?
33466Who was it?
33466Who was that?"
33466Who was the little woman who had been like a skeleton at a feast?
33466Who were these to scorn her race, her family?
33466Who were they?"
33466Whom was she shielding?
33466Why do n''t they suspect Wyndham?
33466Why do n''t they suspect-- some of the others?"
33466Why had Kennedy not foreseen this risk?
33466Why was he so careful about it?
33466Why, Kennedy-- how are you?
33466Why, do you know anything about it?"
33466Why?
33466Why?"
33466Why?"
33466Wonderful, is n''t it?"
33466Would anyone take advantage of the opportunity to tamper with that box of cigarettes on Mendoza''s table?
33466Would he succeed in whatever it was that he was planning?
33466Would he, perhaps at the last moment, lose his nerve?
33466Would she escape finally, after all?
33466You are acquainted with the test?
33466You are familiar with it, I presume?"
33466You are sure that you can detonate them when the time comes?"
33466You do n''t mean to tell me that you knew her?"
33466You''re off at seven?
33466You-- you will help me-- I mean, help Gloria?"
33466and''Is he to be embalmed?''"
33466he ground out, then paused, cutting the next remark short as he gritted,"What do you mean?
33466queried Craig finally,"so as to use it in identifying the real one?"
5087A Jap, too?
5087A poison?
5087A psychanalysis?
5087A spangle from a sequin dress,he muttered to himself; then, turning to Miss Grey,"Did any one wear such a dress last night?"
5087A visitor?
5087A woman?
5087A wreck-- some spectacular stroke at the nations that are shipping the gold?
5087All of them?
5087And it''s this stuff that somebody has been putting into her tonic?
5087And that indicates?
5087And that is what was on the bullet?
5087And that?
5087And the shot?
5087And with not a word?
5087And you have put Granville Barnes out of the way, first?
5087And you, Miss Euston?
5087And?
5087Another example of a mind confused even on recent events?
5087Any servants?
5087Are you going to take it up?
5087Beriberi-- in New York?
5087But another patient might have known what Marchant was being treated for?
5087But how are you going to get in?
5087But how do you think it could have happened?
5087But what''s its use?
5087But who could have used it?
5087But you know good mushrooms when you see them?
5087But you succeeded finally?
5087But,I cut in,"the hand- bag-- the dinner-- what of them?"
5087Ca n''t anything be done to save my father in spite of himself?
5087Ca n''t you come and see Jose, Professor Kennedy? 5087 Can you make it out?
5087Could it be some one who is projecting a deadly wireless force which causes the explosions?
5087Could it have been a robbery?
5087Could it have been a word for them and half an hour for herself?
5087Could it have been my wife?
5087Could you see?
5087Did you ever see anything like that?
5087Did you get anything out of her?
5087Did you get it?
5087Did you hear a shot?
5087Did you know Captain Shirley?
5087Did you know that the Medical Society were interested in you and your clinic before the demonstration before Professor Gaines was arranged?
5087Did you notice anything else at the dinner-- no matter how trivial?
5087Did you observe anything peculiar?
5087Do you find anything?
5087Do you know yet how the thing was done?
5087Do you really fear that there is something wrong?
5087Do you recall any of his symptoms?
5087Do you recall anything peculiar about the mushrooms?
5087Do you remember anything that happened after that?
5087Do you suppose one of the servants could have been''planted''for the purpose of pulling it off?
5087Do you suppose that is part of Burr''s system, or did Miss Giles lighten her work by putting it into the tonic?
5087Do?
5087Doctor Aitken has never expressed any suspicion?
5087Doctor Chapelle?
5087Doctor Murray is his personal physician?
5087Does that look like agricultural machinery?
5087Done by wreckers, then?
5087Especially if they are women?
5087Favors at each place?
5087Had Captain Shirley any friends in the city?
5087Has Doctor Aitken been here?
5087Has Mr. Kennedy found out anything yet?
5087Has any one seen my daughter?
5087Has any one told you that Garretson''s car went down the river road, too?
5087Has anybody-- died?
5087Has anything happened here? 5087 Have it?
5087Have you any suspicion about when the robbery took place?
5087Have you discovered anything?
5087Have you done any investigating yourself?
5087Have you ever heard anything more that he did?
5087Have you ever heard of Teresa de Leon?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found out anything?
5087Have you found out yet?
5087Have you made any attempt to examine it?
5087Have you seen anything-- er-- suspicious about this Kato?
5087Have you taken any other precautions now that you did n''t take before?
5087He will come?
5087How about the food?
5087How about the robbery?
5087How could they have been taken, do you think?
5087How did Mrs. Gaines become interested in the thing?
5087How did he die?
5087How did the fire start?
5087How did you first hear of it?
5087How did you get away from the watchman?
5087How do you account for his strange actions?
5087How do you suppose I''ll be able to get out there, now?
5087How has this machine been improved? 5087 How is she, anyway?"
5087How is that?
5087How is that?
5087How was it?
5087How was that?
5087I believe you have a patient, a Miss Virginia Blakeley?
5087I believe you were acquainted with Senior Barrios, who died to- night?
5087I may keep this?
5087I may look over the office?
5087I may take some of these samples to study myself?
5087I suppose there is no objection to my seeing Doctor Haynes?
5087I suppose you know that Senor Barrios is very seriously ill?
5087I suppose you never heard the story of the Antilles?
5087I suppose you''ve noticed over Miss Blakeley''s nose a red sore?
5087I think I have a prior claim there, have n''t I?
5087Illness-- robbery?
5087In what way?
5087Indeed?
5087Is Barrios any better?
5087Is anything missing from his room?
5087Is everybody daffy over those little islands? 5087 Is he any better?"
5087Is it a clue or a stall?
5087Is it all right?
5087Is it in my hands?
5087Is it possible that she can be in this revolutionary propaganda?
5087Is that Englishwoman a member of the cult?
5087Is there a place in town where I can get the films in this developed quickly?
5087Is there any one in the hotel whom you might suspect?
5087Is there anything more you wish to ask?
5087Is there still time to catch the last morning edition of the Star, Walter?
5087Is-- Lane-- hiring the men-- himself?
5087It''s a pretty ticklish piece of business, then?
5087It''s something like that you meant, I presume, when you called it a''phantom destroyer''a moment ago?
5087Jackson''s?
5087Just what do you mean?
5087Just what was it you overheard?
5087Know him? 5087 Korsakoff''s syndrome?"
5087Lane, may I install this thing in your telegraph- room outside?
5087Like carbon- monoxide poisoning?
5087Located in one of the best protected and most inaccessible parts of the body,Kennedy considered, slowly,"how could the pituitary be reached?
5087May I have your car to- night?
5087May I try something?
5087Message?
5087Might this present trouble be a recurrence of the old trouble?
5087Miss Blakeley? 5087 Mrs. Blakeley, may I trouble you to get that beauty mask which your daughter wore?"
5087No clue yet to my crank?
5087No one else has felt any ill effects from the supper, I suppose?
5087No one has been down on the wreck yet?
5087No question?
5087No, but I hope it''s something I can add to my report?
5087Not shot?
5087Nothing? 5087 Now that we''re here,"I whispered,"what can we do?"
5087Of twenty million dollars? 5087 Oh yes"--she recalled herself--"I suppose you know something of his gems?
5087Oh, I hope he will find something Wo n''t you go to him and tell him to hurry?
5087Oh, Mr. Kennedy, have you heard?
5087Or of who sent the telegram?
5087Perhaps some drug?
5087Perhaps?
5087Petromortis?
5087Queer about that Barnes case, is n''t it?
5087Quick-- what DO you mean?
5087Robbery?
5087Rodman-- can you-- forgive me?
5087Roger Cranston?
5087Sandoval had warned against this De Leon?
5087See the bands gradually fade?
5087Seems as if she was a good drawing- card for the house, does n''t it?
5087Shadowing the shadowers?
5087So,returned Chapelle, drawing back and placing his head on one side as he nodded it with each word,"you think I''ve spoiled her looks?
5087So?
5087Some one placed the wrong salt in there-- took out oxygen, added nitrogen, instead of removing carbon dioxide?
5087Some poisonous Amanita got mixed with the edible mushrooms?
5087That?
5087The planters are not putting in modern machinery, then?
5087Then Hampton Haynes has been here?
5087Then Wardlaw did n''t attend her himself?
5087Then how was he killed?
5087Then it was an accident?
5087Then one of the ramekins was poisoned?
5087Then she was not a patient?
5087Then that is how Traynor died?
5087Then that would mean that they might have been taken by any one, do n''t you see? 5087 Then there are other causes?"
5087Then this is really the second attack of the morbid sleep?
5087Then what is it for?
5087Then you know Mr. Sandoval also?
5087Then you made no effort to find out?
5087Then you think Doctor Wardlaw has it, too?
5087Then you think that some one present placed something in the tea?
5087Then you''ll go down to Nitropolis?
5087Then you''re going to desert us?
5087There was no one else in the kitchen while you prepared them?
5087They''ve called the new plant Nitropolis-- rather a neat name for a powder- works, do n''t you think?
5087To come here?
5087Was any one else here?
5087Was she committed by her husband?
5087Was there anything that might give you a hint of what had happened?
5087Well, doctor,demanded the detective as he entered,"what''s the verdict?"
5087Well,I exclaimed, as we passed through the dining- room,"what was all that?"
5087Were there candles?
5087Were you acquainted with a Captain Shirley?
5087What about that little bottle of keratin?
5087What are the beads?
5087What are the seeds?
5087What are the symptoms?
5087What are you doing?
5087What can this thing be?
5087What can you do?
5087What could she want?
5087What could we do, just two girls, all alone? 5087 What did Miss Hackstaff do?"
5087What did you do?
5087What did you think of her?
5087What do you know about him?
5087What do you make of it yourself?
5087What do you make of that Dolores incident?
5087What do you make of that?
5087What do you suppose it is?
5087What do you think of the spangle?
5087What do you think?
5087What else might there be?
5087What good will it do, Lewis?
5087What has happened? 5087 What has happened?"
5087What have you done?
5087What is Miss Belleville''s interest in Karatoff?
5087What is it you suspect?
5087What is it, Carl?
5087What is it-- for God''s sake?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is known about him?
5087What is that?
5087What is the trouble?
5087What made you turn in here?''
5087What makes you think he has been poisoned?
5087What makes you think it is beriberi, of all things?
5087What of him?
5087What shall we do next?
5087What sort of craft is this other?
5087What sort of place is it?
5087What was in it?
5087What was the matter? 5087 What''s henbane?"
5087What''s that? 5087 What''s that?"
5087What''s the big story here now?
5087What''s the big story?
5087What-- you here, Maude?
5087When did you receive it?
5087When does the next shipment start?
5087When is the demonstration?
5087Where are the others?
5087Where is my nail file-- and brush?
5087Where''s Gertrude?
5087Where?
5087Who are the others? 5087 Who else is there in the household?"
5087Who else was there?
5087Who is Karatoff, anyhow?
5087Who is she?
5087Who is the little manicure girl?
5087Who is this Julia Giles?
5087Who is this Kato?
5087Who was interested enough to plot this postponement of the wedding until the danger to the fortune was finally removed?
5087Who was she?
5087Who were in the supper- party?
5087Who were these agents sent over to wage this secret war at any cost?
5087Who?
5087Whose is it? 5087 Why do you fear for your sister and Mr. Everson?
5087Why not?
5087Why, do you know what I''ve discovered?
5087Why, what was that?
5087Why, what''s the trouble?
5087Why-- what is this?
5087Why?
5087Will Mr. Lane go with you?
5087Will she live?
5087Will you let me have one of the blood smears?
5087Would he like that, too?
5087Would you come out to the Key with me?
5087Would you like to go up there and see them?
5087You had done nothing that might have been dangerous?
5087You have a vacuum cleaner, I suppose?
5087You have engaged Professor Kennedy?
5087You have formed no theory of your own?
5087You have heard of a Dr. Carl Chapelle?
5087You have no idea what could have caused it?
5087You have no idea who it was?
5087You know her?
5087You know him?
5087You know him?
5087You never cared for her?
5087You prepared the mushrooms yourself?
5087You remember the paper I gave Mrs. Cranston when the excitement in the hall broke loose?
5087You remember,she cried, breathlessly,"you said that a jequirity bean was sent to Captain Shirley?"
5087You saw her?
5087You think there is danger, then?
5087You were all in the kitchen?
5087You will let me know-- if there is-- any hope?
5087You would like to get at the truth, if I promise to hold the story back?
5087You would?
5087You-- don''t think Doctor Chapelle had anything to do with it?
5087You-- you do not think it could be the mushrooms-- that have caused Mr. Mansfield''s illness, do you?
5087''Who took those letters?''
5087Above all, how was I, on the outside, to find out?
5087Above all, what had this to do with the mysterious phantom slayer that had wrecked so much of the works in less than a week?
5087Above all, what was it they had planned for the launching?
5087Above all, who was it?
5087And had Barnes really been the victim of an attack-- or of an accident?
5087And then?
5087Anthony?"
5087Anything new?
5087Are n''t the freckles gone?"
5087Are you ready, Whiting?"
5087As the music started up again, I heard her say,"Ca n''t we have just one more dance?"
5087But about whom?
5087But had Lewis, with a quick flash of genius, sought to cover up something, protect somebody?
5087But if the bit that I gave this fellow causes such distress, what would a larger quantity do?"
5087But the other?
5087But what could any one want with a yacht?"
5087But who knows how long that will last?
5087But who was it?
5087By whom do you suppose he really was sent?"
5087Ca n''t we DO something?"
5087Can not you get in to see me as a doctor or friend?
5087Carita Belleville, the dancer, you know?"
5087Could it be a signal of trouble?
5087Could it be that?"
5087Could it have been Hampton?
5087Could that be the scheme?
5087Could there be some latent jealousy?
5087Could this be a case of that sort?
5087Cranston?"
5087Did Gage know more about these mysterious happenings than appeared?
5087Did he expect to see the fast express cruiser, lurking like a corsair about the islands of the river?
5087Did he have some suspicion of Mrs. Anthony?
5087Did not this, I asked myself, indicate plainly enough that Leslie might be right in his suspicions of beriberi?
5087Did the newspapers ever do anything but harm to your poor dear father?
5087Did the same explanation shed any light on the mystery of the nautch- girl and the jequirity bean sent to Shirley?
5087Did they know more of this Mexican gun- running business than Marlowe had hinted at?
5087Do n''t you see it?"
5087Do n''t you see?
5087Do n''t you see?
5087Do n''t you suppose I could predict the nature of any report he would make?"
5087Do you think he was posing?"
5087Do you think we can get there in a car before it''s dark?"
5087Do you want me to tell you, young lady?"
5087Gaines?"
5087Grady?"
5087Had Chapelle ignorantly done something that would leave its scar forever?
5087Had I been finding food for suspicion because I was myself suspicious?
5087Had Jose been making love to another woman at the same time that he was engaged to Eulalie Sandoval?
5087Had Lane really been in it?
5087Had Mrs. Gaines expressed her own self-- or was it Karatoff-- or Marchant-- or Errol?
5087Had Mrs. Snedden been killed by the carbonic oxide?
5087Had Norma instinctively fled from his attentions?
5087Had he been posing before Kennedy, and were they really trying to put Mrs. Cranston out of the way?
5087Had he discovered something that it was inconvenient to know?
5087Had he done any real deep diving?"
5087Had he known that Leontine had been with Sydney on the deck?
5087Had his better nature yielded to his worse?
5087Had it anything to do with the dispute in the hotel which Kenmore had witnessed?
5087Had it anything to do with the"tonic"?
5087Had it been an accident, after all?
5087Had it been deliberately placed there, it flashed over me, in order to compromise Madeline Hargrave and divert suspicion from some one else?
5087Had it been done for the purpose of inflicting a more frightful wound if it struck the captain?
5087Had it been interest in Errol that had led her to visit the laboratory?
5087Had it been interest in Leontine or in the dining- room that had drawn him thither?
5087Had it been that I had distrusted the woman merely because I was suspicious of the type, both male and female?
5087Had it been the same person who had sent the single jequirity bean?
5087Had revenge or jealousy brought her to New York, or was she merely a tool in the hands of another?
5087Had she been overcome first and, in a stupor, been unable to move to save herself?
5087Had she misinterpreted his attentions to Mrs. Rogers?
5087Had some one again tampered with the apparatus?
5087Had some one been using her, and now was afraid of her and sought to get her out of the way for safety?
5087Had some one hoaxed him into a wild- goose chase, after all?
5087Had the party thought it out and were they now playing the game with the main chance in view?
5087Had we been getting too close on her trail, or had Mrs. Anthony been attacked?
5087Have you any idea?"
5087Having failed to stop the work, failed to kill Marlowe-- what was left?
5087How can I ever thank you for getting me out of it?"
5087How can I help you?"
5087How did she get there-- and why?
5087How do you feel?"
5087How does Shirley fit into this thing?"
5087How does it work?"
5087How had Shirley met his death, and why?
5087How is it, then?"
5087How?
5087I can not see how it could be due to poisoning, can you?"
5087I suppose it never occurred to the police that the rubber dagger might have covered up a peculiar poisoning?
5087If orders had been given for such secrecy by Barry Euston, how could my despatch do any good?
5087If she had sent it to him, was it as a threat?
5087If there was a plot and Barnes had been a victim, what was its nature?
5087Is Doctor Burr''s system better?"
5087Is Mrs. Wardlaw any better?"
5087Is he RIGHT?"
5087Is it polyneuritis of beriberi-- or something else?"
5087Is there anything new?"
5087Is there more still?"
5087Kennedy was evidently firing, but at what?
5087Kennedy?"
5087Killed by a rubber dagger?
5087Lane?"
5087Marbury?"
5087Marchant?"
5087Might not Kato have been forced or enticed into a scheme that promised a safe return and practically no chance of discovery?
5087My work is so far in advance of any that the conservative psychologists do that he would naturally feel hostile, would he not?"
5087Oh, Professor Kennedy, what is it?
5087Oh, ca n''t you take up the case and look into it?"
5087Oh, what shall I do?
5087Or did it mask some deeper, more sinister motive?
5087Or was he one of the few who were honest and careful?
5087Or was he really exercising some occult power?
5087Or was her own brother the murderer of Eulalie''s lover?
5087Or was it more than that?
5087Or was it weakness following the high mental tension of her own hypnotization?
5087Page?"
5087Perhaps you have heard of the Old Grove Amusement Park, which failed?
5087Perhaps-- but what was the game?
5087Rogers?"
5087Say, what do you think we are?
5087See?"
5087Should we run and desert the train for which we had dared so much?
5087Slowly the question was shaping in my mind, was it, as Karatoff would have us believe, an accident?
5087Snedden?"
5087Sprague, can you mount that on the plane?"
5087Terrible, was n''t it?
5087The point is, veratrine from what source?
5087The woman turned to him:"Suppose this news of the robbery is out?
5087Then how could it have occurred?
5087Then, scarcely waiting for her even to nod, he added:"What did he say?
5087Then, too, why had she been here at all?
5087Then, with an anxious glance at the rest of us,"Is your sister any better?"
5087Then, without suggesting that we were more than casually interested,"What does the Street think of it?"
5087They mentioned the name of Granville Barnes, treasurer of father''s company--""Is that so?"
5087Thomas?"
5087Thomas?"
5087To whom do these deadly germs point?
5087Traynor?"
5087Treasure?
5087Under the circumstances, might not his professional reputation be at stake?
5087Was Aitken suspiciously interested in the pretty nurse-- or was she suspiciously interested in him?
5087Was everything all right?
5087Was he jealous of Lane, or did his words have a deeper meaning?
5087Was he secretly working with them still?
5087Was he still employed by the insurance company?
5087Was he trying to estimate the relative popularity of the two in this strange group?
5087Was he working for two masters?
5087Was it Barnes?
5087Was it a case of gas poisoning?
5087Was it a suicide?
5087Was it a suspicion of which she had not told us?
5087Was it arteriosclerosis for which you were treating him?"
5087Was it because the quest seemed to be leading away from himself?
5087Was it connected with the rumors we had heard of gun- running to Mexico?
5087Was it fear or suspicion?
5087Was it fear, hate, love, jealousy?
5087Was it merely the unpleasant notoriety?
5087Was it possible that Sandoval had one of those Jekyll- Hyde natures which seem to be so common in some of us?
5087Was it possible?
5087Was it that consciously or unconsciously she was taking the slender dancer as her model?
5087Was it, in a sense, retribution?
5087Was n''t she competent?"
5087Was one of her lovers the murderer of Anitra''s brother?
5087Was she looking for Gage, I wondered?
5087Was she playing with Sydney, seeking to secure his influence to further her schemes?
5087Was she wrecked, at last, after all?
5087Was some one using a band of these crooks for ulterior purposes?
5087Was that a clever attempt at confession and avoidance on his part?
5087Was there a plot to frustrate Everson''s plans?
5087Was this another of that sort?
5087Was this such a case?
5087Were they playing a game against each other?
5087Were they working together, or were they really opposed?
5087What brings you out here at such an hour?"
5087What can you do now?"
5087What could be done?
5087What could be the purpose of her visit?
5087What could it mean?
5087What did it all mean and why should Mrs. Blakeley pay money to an old woman, a charity patient?
5087What did it all mean?
5087What did it all mean?
5087What did it mean, if anything?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did the treachery of one member of the expedition mean?
5087What did you find when you entered, sergeant?"
5087What difference could it have made if Lane had a free hand in managing the shipment of treasure for the company?
5087What do you mean?"
5087What else could they do with it?
5087What good would it do if, after hours, his cleverness might solve the cipher-- too late?
5087What gruesome mystery had been unveiled by the anonymous letter which had first excited our curiosity?
5087What if a hint like this got abroad among his rich clientele?
5087What is it all about?"
5087What letters?''
5087What of it and what of its secret sender?
5087What shall I do?"
5087What should I do?
5087What strange power could it be that we could not see or feel in broad daylight?
5087What takes you down there, Burke?"
5087What was back of it all?
5087What was it he was after?
5087What was it that Mrs. Blakeley so feared?
5087What was it that had made this beautiful woman such a wreck?
5087What was it?
5087What was it?
5087What was its purpose?
5087What was the cause?
5087What was the matter?
5087What was the motive back of this sinister murder that had been so carefully planned that no one would ever suspect a crime?
5087What was the part played by Carita Belleville?
5087What was the secret locked in her silent lips?
5087What was there in the motives that actuated them?
5087What were they?
5087What will happen?
5087What would she do next?
5087Where are they?
5087Where''s Kennedy?"
5087Which is it here?"
5087Which is it-- yes or no?"
5087Which might be using the other?
5087Who can tell?"
5087Who dum- dummed and poisoned the bullet?
5087Who else is stricken?"
5087Who had sent the anonymous telegram to Eulalie so soon after it had been evident that Kennedy had entered the case?
5087Who had shut her up?
5087Who was in it?
5087Who was it who had deserted, as I had heard over the wire?
5087Who was it?
5087Who was it?
5087Who was she, friend or foe?
5087Who was their agent?
5087Who, then, was their agent who had fired the shot?
5087Whose own fingers, in spite of antiseptics and manicures, point inexorably to a guilty self?"
5087Why Aitken''s solicitude in asserting that he was?
5087Why did he place them in the safe so soon, instead of wearing them the rest of the evening?"
5087Why had he so persistently sought her?
5087Why had it been done and where had the cultures come from?
5087Why had she followed him?
5087Why have they fled?
5087Why her anxiety to know whether Wardlaw himself was affected?
5087Why is it?
5087Why should it be hanging about?
5087Why was he watching Mrs. Rogers?
5087Why, do you want it?"
5087Will you wait here?"
5087Would she carry the secret with her, after all?
5087Would that suggest anything to you?"
5087Would the antitoxin work?
5087Would they never bring him up?
5087Would you like to come with me?
5087Would you mind stepping down around the bend in the hall?"
5087Yet how explain the apparent success with Cynthia?
5087You recall the brightness of her eyes?
5087You will pardon me if I do a little telephoning-- through the central office of the detective bureau?
5087what shall I do?"
5007''Shall I tell you a fact, sir, about yourself?'' 5007 A fake?"
5007An explosive mixture?
5007And Madame de Nevers''s maid? 5007 And Madame de Nevers?"
5007And are the pipes leading air down into the tunnel perfectly straight?
5007And forgive me for suspecting you,replied Kazanovitch,"but how did you come to shadow Kharkoff?"
5007And give just one plausible reason why you wished so much to have it known that you were going to Palm Beach when in reality you were in New York?
5007And have you?
5007And how much does Miss Lovelace know?
5007And if you find out, will you go with me to that house near Chatham Square, providing it was some one in that gang?
5007And it works?
5007And let those higher up escape while their tools take all the blame?
5007And names?
5007And the girl?
5007And then?
5007And to whom may it be dangerous?
5007And what for Heaven''s sake does it reveal?
5007And you have no idea why it was there?
5007And you have no trace of him?
5007And you think you can make good?
5007And you-- are you going or coming?
5007And your husband''s?
5007Any word from Chicago yet?
5007Are you game to go inside?
5007At least, under what name was she registered?
5007Besides her liking for Dudley Lawton and her rather romantic nature, there are no other things in her life that would cause a desire for freedom?
5007Brass knuckles?
5007But how did you do it?
5007But the flames which the night watchman saw, what of them?
5007But what excuse are you going to have for getting into this yegg- resort?
5007But what has happened since to arouse suspicion?
5007But what made you anticipate it?
5007But why do you connect that incident with this case of Madame de Nevers?
5007But you have a pretty good description of her, one that you could send out in order to find her if necessary?
5007But you have no reason to think that there has ever been any secret communication between them? 5007 But, you may ask, how about the automobile picture?
5007But,asked Kennedy sympathetically,"what makes you think that you will find your man, whoever he proves to be, in New York?"
5007But,persisted the coroner,"if she was murdered by the use of chloroform, how do you account for the fact that it was done without a struggle?
5007But--"And you are prepared now to make another affidavit to that effect?
5007By what right do you stop me? 5007 Ca n''t you think up a scheme?
5007Ca n''t you turn on the lights?
5007Can I help you in any way?
5007Can you come along?
5007Can you get me a couple of old telephone instruments?
5007Could chloroform be discovered in the lungs or viscera after so many days? 5007 Could he have cast her off when he found that in spite of her parents''protests she was still in his power?"
5007Could they have left the goods in Paris, after all?
5007Could you tell me anything about a Madame de Nevers who was staying at the Vanderveer?
5007Craig Kennedy?
5007Craig, do you know how I found him? 5007 Craig,"I remonstrated,"you do n''t mean to say you attach any importance to vapourings like that?
5007Did n''t I tell you?
5007Did she have any visitors? 5007 Did she leave any card or message?
5007Do n''t you know it is dangerous to smoke in compressed air?
5007Do n''t you suppose I know all that? 5007 Do you feel better in the air?"
5007Do you know who that woman was?
5007Do you remember that scene in''The Grass Widower,''he said slowly,"where Jack Delarue meets his runaway wife at the masquerade ball?"
5007Do you see those blots on the back? 5007 Do you suppose some one has broken in and substituted this Lytton letter for the Thurston letter?"
5007Do you suppose the Duc de Chateaurouge would be able to identify her?
5007Do you think he could have kept up the acquaintance secretly?
5007Ever been in Danbridge?
5007Fine,said Kennedy,"and can you produce him at any time when it is necessary?"
5007Forgery insurance?
5007Good heavens, man, what has happened?
5007Had Miss Lytton any enemies whom you think of, people who were jealous of her professionally or personally?
5007Has n''t this farce been allowed to go far enough? 5007 Has nothing in her actions about the hotel offered any clue, no matter how slight?"
5007Have n''t you heard? 5007 Have you any copies of the forged certificates?"
5007Have you ever met Saratovsky?
5007Have you yourself seen any evidences of rival influences hindering the work?
5007He''s coming to see you today, is n''t he?
5007His word? 5007 How about the affidavits?
5007How about the handwriting?
5007How are you fixed for a little trip out to Riverwood?
5007How can I? 5007 How did you get it?
5007How did you get your first hint?
5007How do you know he opened it?
5007How is Saratovsky?
5007How was the body discovered?
5007I beg your pardon,began Craig as we came to a turn in the shadow of the arc lights,"but have you a match?"
5007I do n''t suppose Scotland Yard has neglected to furnish you with photographs and a description of this Forbes?
5007I guess that winds the case up, eh?
5007I have reason to believe that the duke is in this country incognito-- is he not?
5007I may keep it?
5007I may keep these to study at my leisure?
5007I shall want to see you early to- morrow, and,--might I ask you to be sure to wear that hat which you have on?
5007I suppose Dawson was a man of exemplary habits? 5007 I suppose they told nearly all the story, but what caused her death?
5007I suppose you have heard nothing?
5007I suppose you have heard of the''endormeurs''of Paris?
5007I suppose you have no objections to my doing so?
5007I suppose you have shadowed them ever since?
5007I, identify her? 5007 Is Mr. Gonzales in?"
5007Is Professor Kennedy coming soon?
5007Is Professor Kennedy here?
5007Is n''t it enough that some of the newspapers have said so? 5007 Is there anything else that you wish to say?"
5007Is this Professor Kennedy?
5007It was true about the jar of ammonia?
5007Just what is it that you suspect?
5007Just what makes you think that there is a firebug-- one firebug, I mean-- back of this curious epidemic of fires?
5007Louise, shall I tell you a secret? 5007 May I count on having this note for further examination, of course always at such times and under such conditions as you agree to?"
5007Might I ask,interrupted Kennedy,"what that curious greenish or bluish light from the tube is composed of?"
5007Might I have some of your writings to look over in the meantime?
5007Might I try one or two reactions with that sample?
5007Mr. Kennedy,exclaimed the house man deferentially,"are you very busy just now?"
5007Mrs. Branford,exclaimed Blake, advancing and bowing most profoundly,"I trust that you understand my awkward position?
5007Must my every act be watched and misrepresented? 5007 Nitrogen?"
5007No?
5007Not dead?
5007Not the worst? 5007 Now, how did the robber get in?
5007Now, what do you suppose that was for?
5007Now,continued Kennedy suavely,"what COULD happen?
5007Oh, Mr. Kennedy, why did you ask me to do this?
5007Operator, give me the south tube-- quick-- what-- they do n''t answer?
5007Or have ye had enough of the air? 5007 Or perhaps you have caught another art dealer red- handed?"
5007Quite right,he agreed hastily;"the note was queer, though, was n''t it?
5007Say, Dean, you''re not going to desert me?
5007Say, do you add telepathy to your other accomplishments?
5007September 19th was the date alleged, I believe?
5007Shall I tell, Miss Ashton?
5007Shall I?
5007She had no hobbies?
5007She was dressed to receive some one-- did you notice?
5007Shelton,asked Kennedy,"what sort of flash oil is used to lubricate the machinery?"
5007Should I have done so?
5007So far, I suppose, it is true that neither you nor the police have received even a hint as to where she went after leaving the book- store?
5007So you say I am this Williams, the counterfeiter?
5007Straight?
5007Tell me, what happened?
5007The manuscript? 5007 The office was locked, I suppose?"
5007The package? 5007 Then I can leave that part of it to you, McBride?"
5007Then it must have been some one in the house or at least some one familiar with it?
5007Then she was murdered?
5007Then the case has nothing to do with your trouble, nothing to do with the bends?
5007Then there''s a woman in the case, and she wrote the first note for the firebug-- is that what you mean?
5007Then you are to meet your friend in Washington to- night? 5007 Then you know of our daughter''s strange-- er-- departure?"
5007Then you perhaps think that Prescott and Mrs. Martin are in some way connected in this case?
5007Then you will take up the case?
5007Then, for Heaven''s sake, what did you find?
5007There are a good many chemicals mentioned here-- I wonder if any of them is poisonous? 5007 There was no way to slip this letter in among the others since you obtained them?"
5007To Mr. Jameson or the rest of us?
5007Walter, did you notice he said not a word of condemnation of Dixon, though the note was before his eyes? 5007 Walter, what''s on for to- night?"
5007Well, now, did you ever hear of such blasted impudence? 5007 Well, then, if I should call here to- night at, say, half- past nine, Could you be here?
5007Well,he said at length,"what of all this?
5007Well-- er-- do you suppose you could do the house a little-- er-- favour?
5007Wh-- where did you get that?
5007What about the partner? 5007 What are they that he should set such a price on them?"
5007What colour are they?
5007What did you make that affidavit for? 5007 What do you know about them?
5007What do you make of it?
5007What do you think of the Revalenko story?
5007What do you think of the case?
5007What do you think of this? 5007 What does Dudley Lawton say about the newspapers bringing his name into the case?"
5007What does it say?
5007What has happened since last night to increase your anxiety, Jack?
5007What has happened?
5007What has he been doing now?
5007What has that to do with customs reform?
5007What is it that you wished to see me about?
5007What is it?
5007What is it?
5007What is it?
5007What is it?
5007What is that?
5007What is this germ?
5007What of it?
5007What sort of place is it?
5007What success?
5007What time does the office close?
5007What was her name?
5007What was it about?
5007What was it that caused Miss Gilbert''s death?
5007What was the character of the forgeries?
5007What was the result? 5007 What''s all this stuff on the table?"
5007What''s on your mind now?
5007What''s that?
5007What''s the matter?
5007What''s the matter?
5007What''s up?
5007What? 5007 What?
5007What?
5007What?
5007Where are they?
5007Where is Nevsky?
5007Where is the letter? 5007 Where''s Paddy?"
5007Where''s the woman?
5007Where, then, can photography be considered as irrefutable evidence? 5007 Who identified her?"
5007Who is the treasurer of the company?
5007Who is this third man who comes in and with whom Harriet Wollstone goes away so willingly?
5007Who turned in the alarm?
5007Who was that detective who forced his way to see her the night they discovered Marie''s body?
5007Who was that man who just went out with the lady?
5007Who was this visitor, do you suppose?
5007Who?
5007Whose are those?
5007Why are you so particular, Henri?
5007Why believe it?
5007Why believe it?
5007Why did I forget that lump of paraffin? 5007 Why did n''t he destroy it?"
5007Why did n''t you bring Herndon over and break into the boxes, if you think the stuff is hidden in one of them?
5007Why did n''t you tell me you were coming?
5007Why do you ask me?
5007Why do you ask?
5007Why not take a chance? 5007 Why, Walter, he is the most gentle, engaging old philosopher----""That ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship?"
5007Why, if Dixon contemplated anything against Miss Lytton, should he preserve this letter from her?
5007Why, what''s the matter-- more sugar frauds?
5007Will you guarantee that he will not blow us up with a bomb?
5007Will you never stop spying on me?
5007Will you please write your names and addresses on the outside sheet of this pad, then tear it off and keep it?
5007With the fall and winter trade just coming on?
5007Wo n''t ye stay down an''see some more, gintlemen?
5007Would it be too much to ask just to see that note that was found in the Boncour bungalow?
5007Would n''t it be a good thing to fill the box with water?
5007Would you taste an unknown drug again to discover the nature of a probable poison?
5007Yeggmen--''fence''?
5007Yes,replied Kennedy,"what of him?"
5007You are willing to risk it? 5007 You ca n''t find him?
5007You do n''t think people are going to swallow all that stuff, do you?
5007You have never seen this Mrs. Martin or her husband?
5007You recall, Mr. Kennedy, reading in the papers that my country house out on Long Island was robbed the other day? 5007 You said the house had been closed-- absolutely closed?"
5007You say the police have n''t a single clue to any one who might be responsible for the fires?
5007You see that shadow of the gable? 5007 You see that woman over there?"
5007You think there is some connection between her death and the letters?
5007You will excuse me if I get some cigarettes downstairs? 5007 You will trace down the forger of those pictures before it is too late?"
5007You would n''t believe it, Walter, would you?
5007You''re all right?
5007You''re not offended at my kicking over the traces, are you?
5007You''re on the Star, I believe?
5007You, Miss Ashton?
5007You-- you do n''t mean to say that there is no other way, that I''ll have to admit even before Bennett-- and others that I''m in bad?
5007''The truth as I see it by means of my wonderful invention?
5007''What''s wrong?''
5007144 made up yet?"
5007A million dollars?"
5007A very talented girl, too-- you remember her in''The Taming of the New Woman''last season?
5007Above all, what was his game?
5007And how are you, Walter?
5007Are n''t you going to attend to him?"
5007Are the police there?"
5007Are you game?
5007Are you ready?
5007As we hurried over to the information booth, I gasped, in a whirl:"Now, look here, Kennedy, what''s all this lightning calculation?
5007As we passed a door on the second floor, a woman''s voice called out,"Is that you, Boris?"
5007As we sped across the city in a taxicab, Craig remarked:"I wonder what is the trouble?
5007Bennett shrugged his shoulders hopelessly and looked at Kennedy in mock resignation as if to say,"What can you do with such a fellow?"
5007Boris Kazanovitch, do you stand there SILENT and let this insult be heaped upon me?"
5007Boy, boy,"he shouted to a newsboy who passed,"what''s the latest sporting edition you have?"
5007Burned human flesh?
5007But ca n''t it be done with the soft pedal?
5007But then why should she commit suicide?
5007But what makes you so positive that it is all the work of one man?"
5007But what was the mystery that the tunnel held in its dark, dank bosom?
5007But where was the fire?
5007But--""And you swore falsely before Kimmel that you were not?"
5007By the way, Craig,"I exclaimed,"do n''t you think it would be a good plan to drop down and see O''Connor?
5007Ca n''t you stop him?"
5007Can you be here early in the morning?
5007Can you bear something further?
5007Can you keep it?"
5007Can you look into the case before it grows any worse, Professor?"
5007Carroll had to take up more or less active duty, with the result that a new man unearthed the-- but, say, are you really interested in this case?"
5007Could anything be more dramatic than his willing penalty for his devotion to medicine?"
5007Could it be that a man had deliberately amputated his fingers and grafted on new ones?
5007Could it be that one of their own number was playing false?
5007Did n''t I see her with tears in her eyes right in this room when he was n''t lookin'', and a smile when he was?
5007Did this Mr. Gonzales call?"
5007Did you see her wraps in the chair?
5007Dixon?"
5007Do you come to learn of the faith?"
5007Do you think he owned up?
5007Do you think such a wreck as I am now has any right to be engaged to the dearest girl in the world?"
5007Do you think they could have suspected anything?"
5007Do you think you can hold me back now with those little white hands on my wrists?
5007Do you think you could locate her?"
5007Does it occur to you that, after all, Forbes may not be dead?"
5007Er-- r, had Miss Gilbert any-- love affair, any trouble of such a nature that it might have preyed on her mind?"
5007F.''if he knew, as he must have known, that you would communicate with London and by means of the prints find out all about him?"
5007Finally Craig asked,"You have copies of the pictures?"
5007Gone?
5007Had Kennedy a clue?
5007Had it indeed been a suicide, in spite of McBride''s evident conviction to the contrary?
5007Had it really been a put- up job?
5007Had the blow affected his brain?
5007Had the man gone crazy?
5007Had they played fair?
5007Had we not better call the police and let them take the risk, even if it does get into the papers?"
5007Haswell?"
5007Have n''t found the firebug yet, have you?
5007Have you a good connection?
5007Have you ever heard of him?"
5007Have you found anything that gives a hint among them?"
5007Have you found that out yet?
5007Have you no chivalry, or justice, or-- or mercy?"
5007Have you still that place on the telegraphone record, Vivian?"
5007He dipped a pen into a little bottle, and wrote on a piece of paper: What is your opinion about Cross''s Headache Cure?
5007He said nothing of his own unsuccessful search through the house, but continued:"What do you suppose she has done with the jewels?
5007Hello, 297?
5007Here goes, our names and addresses, and underneath I''ll write,''What has become of Georgette Gilbert?''"
5007How am I ever to thank you?"
5007How are you for a walk until we can see Orton again?"
5007How are you?
5007How are you?
5007How can I prevent any one from learning my trade secret, leaving me, and making gold on his own account?
5007How do you feel?"
5007How does that suit Your Majesty?
5007How is my love affair?
5007How long do you think it will take us to get over to---""Police headquarters?"
5007How many more of these are there?"
5007How much of this stuff do you suppose has been put into circulation?"
5007How then was I to explain it?
5007How was that, Bennett?"
5007How were we to get ahead of him in Washington better than in New York?
5007How''s your end of the line?
5007How?
5007I believe that I can trust you as a friend of justice-- a friend of Russian freedom?"
5007I guess he''d want to recall the decision if it went against him-- hey?''
5007I should like to hear you tell some of them, if you are not yourself too---""Perhaps you''d rather see one instead?"
5007I suppose you have no objection to going with me?"
5007I suppose you have seen portraits of Georgette in the newspapers and know what a dreamy and artistic nature her face indicates?"
5007I thought I heard him ask:"Who are those men?
5007I wrench them loose-- so-- and-- ugh!--What''s this?
5007IX THE UNOFFICIAL SPY"Craig, do you see that fellow over by the desk, talking to the night clerk?"
5007If New York has suddenly become too hot, what more natural than to leave it?
5007If anything should happen----""Is it as urgent as that?"
5007If it is the truth, will you believe in me?
5007If you see it in the newspapers, it''s so-- perhaps-- isn''t it?"
5007Inter- River?
5007Is he, too, hurt or ill?"
5007Is it aphasia or amnesia, or whatever the doctors call it, and do you think she is wandering about somewhere unable to recover her real personality?"
5007Is she dead?''
5007Is that all you see?
5007Is that you, Clark?
5007Is that you, O''Connor?"
5007Is there any clue to her?"
5007Is there any reason why this fake detective should make fools out of us all and keep my wife longer in this court?
5007Is this the president''s office?
5007It is the outward sign of the unity of nature, the--""The means by which you secure the curious telepagrams I have heard of?"
5007It was a good"haul,"but where was the vast spoil the counterfeiters had accumulated?
5007It''s a queer sort of honeymoon, hey?"
5007Knight or Williams, which was it?
5007Like a flash it occurred to me: Where would they be most likely to go next to work off some of the bills?
5007Maid chloroformed?
5007Maloney sullenly refused to look at his former employer, as Blake rushed over and grasped Kennedy''s hand, asking eagerly:"How did you do it, Kennedy?
5007Meanwhile what might not happen to us?
5007Miss Georgette left no letters or anything that would indicate that her former infatuation survived?"
5007No doubt you have heard hints of Dudley Lawton''s name in connection with the case?
5007No speculating or fast living with him as with Brown?"
5007No?
5007Not so bad, eh?
5007Now just what is a firebug trust?
5007Now, Kennedy, do n''t you agree with me?
5007Now, do you suppose that they are after me in a professional way or are they trying to round me up as an independent voter?"
5007Now, is there any method by which lost finger- tips can be restored?
5007Oh, Harris, ca n''t you settle with him if he asks anything?
5007Oh, Jack, ca n''t you DO something to show them they are wrong, and do it quickly?
5007Oh, what are we to do, what are we to do?"
5007Oh, you''ve heard about Orton, have you?
5007One case?
5007Or does it mean that he foresees defeat and is taking this way to recoup himself under cover of being held up?"
5007Or was it after all the last desperate blow of the Boss?
5007Or was it merely that I found the great writer of fiction seeking the dramatic effect always at the cost of sincerity?
5007Or was it that she at last began to realise that the toils were closing about her and that things began to look unmistakably black?
5007Or was"K."Kazanovitch?
5007Samarova is head over heels in love with Kazanovitch-- you heard her call for him just now?
5007Scott?"
5007Scott?"
5007See that?"
5007See?"
5007Shall I see if I can get him on the wire?"
5007She says the tariff has gone up, or something, but it has n''t, has it?''
5007Squelch the pictures now at any cost, then follow the thing up and, if we can, prosecute after election?"
5007Suppose Kennedy should let loose this deadly foe, these germs of death, whatever they were?
5007That''s understood, is it, before I undertake the case?"
5007The Branford pearls-- stolen?
5007The choking air, the hissing steam, the ghastly object under the tarpaulin-- what did it all mean?
5007The hospital?
5007The old man moved restlessly on the bed, and over my shoulder I could hear him gasp faintly,"Where''s Grace?
5007The premiums or the epidemic?"
5007The question that arises here is, Was she murdered or did she commit suicide?
5007The rest of this tells how to attack various makes, does n''t it?"
5007Then again, might not other substances be generated in a dead body which would give a reaction very much like chloroform?
5007There-- what do you know about that?"
5007This print is composed of long shaded lines, some parts light, others dark, giving the effect of a picture, you understand?"
5007Thurston, who was the man whom you saw enter the Boncour bungalow as you left-- the constant visitor?"
5007To tell the truth, I imagine most of Violette''s goods were-- well--''"''Smuggled?''
5007Travis?"
5007Travis?"
5007Wait until----""Wait?"
5007Walter, will you open that door into the main hall?"
5007Was Kennedy, who had been engaged by her father to defend her fiance, about to convict him?
5007Was he convinced?
5007Was he playing to spare the girl''s feelings by allowing the election to go on without a scandal for Travis?
5007Was he relying on that, or on his difference in features?
5007Was it poison or violence?"
5007Was it that I was prejudiced by a puritanical disapproval of the things that pass current in Old World morality?
5007Was she lying?
5007Was the man crazy?
5007Was the stake sufficient for such a game?
5007We felt we could send out a strange detective and have him pick them out of a crowd-- you know the system, I presume?"
5007Well, Dr. Kharkoff, what can I do for you?
5007Well, Miss Roberts?"
5007Were they-- ah-- friendly?"
5007Were we doomed to blindness, too?
5007What are the tips of a few fingers compared with life, liberty, wealth, and a beautiful woman?
5007What could cause such a catastrophe naturally?
5007What did it all mean?
5007What do they care anyhow as long as it is against you?
5007What do you mean?"
5007What do you say to that, madame?"
5007What do you see?"
5007What do you suppose has happened to him?
5007What do you think of me?
5007What do you think of the possibility of his going to the Lexington track, now that he finds it too dangerous to remain in New York?"
5007What do you want?"
5007What had Miss Ashton overheard and what had Kennedy said to McLoughlin?
5007What had happened?
5007What has become of her?"
5007What is YOUR story?"
5007What is it-- a''con''man or a hotel''beat''?"
5007What is it?
5007What is more beautiful than the true unblemished love of one person for another?
5007What is sweeter, better, or more to be desired than perfect harmony and happiness?
5007What is this''portrait parle''they talk about, anyway?"
5007What makes you think he has n''t sailed yet?"
5007What more natural than to complete the conspiracy by carrying out the coup and at the same time get rid of the dangerous enemy of the conspirators?
5007What occurred?"
5007What possible connection is there between a lump of paraffin and one of the few places in the country where they still race horses?"
5007What role does he play in your suspicions?"
5007What should I say?
5007What was it she was battling for?
5007What was it that you would not tell me just now at luncheon?"
5007What was it?
5007What was she like?"
5007What was that force?
5007What was that gruesome odour in the room?
5007What was the cause of the death of the deceased?
5007What was the meaning of it?
5007What was the terrible secret in that scientific essay I had puzzled so unsuccessfully over, the night before?
5007What was the use of a piece of paraffin?
5007What would it reveal?
5007What''s that?
5007What''s that?"
5007What''s the use of repeating it now?
5007What-- really?
5007When are you going over?"
5007When are you going to see him?"
5007When do you start, Henri?
5007When she had disappeared he returned and remarked,"I suppose you have heard of Miss Margaret Ashton, the suffragette leader, Mr. Kennedy?
5007When will you return to me, Henri?"
5007Where am I?"
5007Where have these letters been?"
5007Where is Mr. Orton''s office?"
5007Where is it?"
5007Where''s Kennedy?"
5007Who had received it?
5007Who is it?"
5007Who knows?"
5007Who knows?"
5007Who let them in?"
5007Who was she?
5007Why did not Kennedy hire a special if the affair was so important as it appeared?
5007Why do you come to me?
5007Why had Miss Lovelace gone to Washington, of all places, at this torrid season of the year?
5007Why is he not here?"
5007Why not tell me all that you really know about the pearls and trust me to bring it out all right?"
5007Why?"
5007Will you be here?"
5007Will you put money into my invention?
5007Will you share in becoming fabulously rich?''
5007Will you tell my man, who must be somewhere about, that I would like to have him hold that woman who was in the auto smash until I can-- what?
5007Would it be found in time to be of use?
5007Would the up- state returns, I had wondered at first, be large enough to overcome the hostile city vote?
5007Would you like to meet him?
5007Would you recommend it for a nervous headache?
5007Yes?
5007You are acquainted with Mendeleeff''s periodic table?"
5007You do n''t think it would be better to wait until after the election is won?"
5007You have doubtless heard of the By- Products Company of Chicago?"
5007You know the Stacey department- stores and their allied dry- goods and garment- trade interests?"
5007You mean the plans for the coaling station on the Pacific near the Canal?
5007You recall we were discussing the Georgette Gilbert case this morning, Walter?"
5007You remember I told you what happened at the Vanderveer the night you and Madame arrived?
5007You remember doubtless that the element selenium varies its electrical resistance under light?
5007You see the blots?
5007You see what I am driving at?
5007You understand?
5007You will be very careful while I am gone?"
5007You will pardon me if I excuse myself now?
5007You''ll be up in half an hour?
5007he asked, adding,"Before I complete my part of the compact and blot out the whole affair?"
5007when our backs were turned and whisked the goods invisibly into the country?
56902''Come, come, now,''Chase said,''what''s the use of that? 56902 ''Do n''t care?''
56902''Know what?'' 56902 ''Was n''t_ she_ at Mr. Wilford''s office?''
56902A bean? 56902 A bean?"
56902A case?
56902A clue? 56902 A sort of marble woman?"
56902A train?
56902About any of them in particular?
56902About any one contemplating a suit for divorce?
56902Ah-- then there had been a quarrel between Mrs. Wilford and her husband the day before?
56902All parlor socialists?
56902And Honora Wilford?
56902And Vina Lathrop-- was she interested, too? 56902 And he is--?"
56902And now you are going to--?
56902And that was--?
56902And then what?
56902And were engaged once, were you not?
56902And what then?
56902And when you find yourself up against it, you come to me?
56902And you saw him? 56902 And you were alone?"
56902And you, Honora?
56902And-- physostigmine-- is what?
56902Are there any other dreams that you have thought of since?
56902Are they still just as insolent up here to you?
56902Are they true? 56902 Are those all the dreams you can remember?"
56902Are you sure that it was not Vina Lathrop?
56902Are you sure-- absolutely sure that on the night Mr. Wilford was murdered madame was here-- that she was not out-- at all?
56902Belladonna-- eh?
56902But about the atropin-- in one glass and nothing in the other?
56902But ca n''t you see that it''s placing her in a wrong light-- supposing everything she did that night was innocent? 56902 But did he say anything definite about it?
56902But do you think there is anything in the story about them?
56902But he was, was n''t he? 56902 But how are you going to do that?"
56902But how do you think dreams arise in the first place?
56902But how does that all apply in this case?
56902But is that all there is to the dream theory?
56902But what about the atropin in the glass-- and in the bottle?
56902But what about the note? 56902 But what about these dream doctors who profess to be able to tell you what is going to happen-- the clairvoyants?"
56902But what business of yours-- or anybody''s, for that matter-- is that?
56902But what of Honora?
56902But what of the physostigmine?
56902But what sort of condition did you think her in before you reassured her at the start by the association test?
56902But what sort of dreams are there? 56902 But why did he have Vina shadowed here to the tea- room-- that is, if that is the case?
56902But you saw her?
56902But, madame-- did she not know her?
56902But,I interrupted,"how does this analysis apply to the case of Honora Wilford?"
56902But,I objected,"there was no trace of physostigmine in either glass, was there?"
56902Calabar?
56902Celeste,began Doyle, with an easy familiarity which I knew the French maid resented deeply,"you saw that man who was here and went away?"
56902Could n''t you see that when we came there she was in a state verging on hysteria?
56902Could she have been there when he died? 56902 Devoting too much time to the practice?"
56902Did I do all right?
56902Did Mrs. Wilford see him there?
56902Did he ever discuss things with you-- I mean Freud-- current topics of conversation?
56902Did he mention Shattuck''s name?
56902Did he really go?
56902Did he see her?
56902Did he see or hear anything?
56902Did she leave soon?
56902Did she make a scene-- I mean did every one see it?
56902Did she meet Shattuck?
56902Did she say she would?
56902Did she threaten again to leave him?
56902Did they bear a resemblance to any one you know?
56902Did you ever have any of these ordeal beans?
56902Did you ever see Mr. Wilford or Mrs. Wilford with Mrs. Vina Lathrop?
56902Did you ever see these people here?
56902Did you ever try it?
56902Did you finally sell the stock?
56902Did you find physostigmine in the stomach contents I sent you? 56902 Did you get one?"
56902Did you get them down?
56902Did you get them?
56902Did you have any motive?
56902Did you locate Rascon?
56902Did you read them?
56902Did you serve them?
56902Did you wait on her?
56902Did_ he_ send you-- or was it that woman?
56902Do n''t you think you have done enough, hounding Mrs. Wilford with your confounded science?
56902Do they show anything that is evidential?
56902Do you dream more-- or less, lately?
56902Do you know him?
56902Do you know?
56902Do you mean that?
56902Do you recall a night when there was a scene here-- another woman?
56902Do you remember anything that happened?
56902Do you remember anything that was said?
56902Do you think Celeste can be relied on?
56902Do you think that he sometimes oversteps his mark in trying to find out about the mental life of his patients?
56902Doctor Lathrop really knew of the incident, did n''t he?--at least, learned of it afterward?
56902Doctor Lathrop?
56902Does Mr. Shattuck know where you are?
56902Does it affect your plans at all?
56902Done? 56902 Done?"
56902Ever see anything like it?
56902Ever see one of those?
56902Explain it? 56902 Explain it?"
56902For what, may I ask, am I indebted to you for_ this_ visit?
56902Had Mrs. Wilford contemplated similar action on her part, do you think?
56902Has Doctor Lathrop been told?
56902Has Kennedy done anything?
56902Has he learned anything yet?
56902Has she been told all this yet?
56902Have you any idea what it may be?
56902Have you any idea?
56902Have you any more?
56902Have you discovered something already?
56902Have you found anything yet?
56902Have you met Mrs. Wilford recently?
56902Have you no need of help, no need of a friend?
56902Have you read the news?
56902Have you the letter?
56902Have you told Doyle anything about it?
56902Have you told him? 56902 He is yours, too, is he not?"
56902He seemed interested in Freud?
56902Honora-- why-- why have you said this?
56902How about that Calabar bean?
56902How about the changes?
56902How about those reports?
56902How about your suspects?
56902How did Mrs. Wilford take it?
56902How did you come here?
56902How did you find out about this fellow?
56902How did you find out where she had gone-- really?
56902How do I know you come from_ her_?
56902How do I know?
56902How do you suppose it was given?
56902How does Mrs. Lathrop take the affair-- with bravado?
56902How was that? 56902 How''s that?"
56902Human?
56902I believe she has some reputation as an interpreter of Freud-- you know, the dream doctor? 56902 I believe she was a patient of yours?"
56902I did n''t leave him, though, did I?
56902I mean-- when did she use it last? 56902 I see-- and did you find anything?"
56902I suppose I may reach you at your place of business, later, if I need?
56902I suppose you have heard of the death of Vail Wilford?
56902I suppose you have read in the newspapers about the troubles of the Lathrops and what has happened?
56902I suppose you know of the suicide of Vail Wilford?
56902I suppose you know that she has been suffering from nervous trouble for some time?
56902I suppose you know that some of these private detectives are really scandalous in their operations?
56902I suppose you''ve heard that they''ve found a Calabar bean down in Vail''s office, on the floor?
56902I wonder whether you would mind writing them down for me?
56902I-- in the office?
56902I? 56902 If only what?"
56902Important?
56902Indeed?
56902Indeed?
56902Indeed?
56902Is he woman- crazy?
56902Is it just some little theatricals-- or is it a little Spanish Inquisition stuff?
56902Is it true?
56902Is she clear for that night?
56902Is that all?
56902Is that what you''ve found out?
56902Is that you, Vina?
56902Is there anything I can do?
56902Is there anything else that comes into your mind?
56902Is this you, Honora?
56902It was n''t such a terrible thing, after all, was it?
56902It would n''t look right-- at this stage of the case-- for me to write, do you think? 56902 Just why are you so interested in studying me, Professor Kennedy?"
56902Let me read it, if you do n''t mind?
56902Like Rascon?
56902Might I see them?
56902Motive? 56902 Mr. Doyle is n''t here, I suppose?"
56902Mr. Wilford got similar reports-- and believed them?
56902Never saw it?
56902No one?
56902Now, might I ask you to leave me? 56902 Oh yes-- and favors, too, you call them?"
56902Oh-- a suicide?
56902Oh-- oculists use it, do they?
56902On which of us would the thing take effect first? 56902 Or am I like John Alden-- not speaking enough for myself, Priscilla?"
56902Pete,demanded Leslie, sharply,"did you see a woman here that night?"
56902Playing a deep game?
56902Professor Kennedy is on the case, is n''t he? 56902 Rascon?"
56902Raw? 56902 Really?"
56902Say,pursued Doyle, with a knowing nod,"you remember I found out that some one had been at that office the night Wilford was murdered?"
56902She broke off the engagement?
56902She had been crying the night before-- eh?
56902She has won you, has n''t she?
56902She would n''t talk at all over the wire, if she did, would she? 56902 Should I scream out for help?
56902So,she continued in the same defiant tone,"it''s another poison, this time-- this physostigmine?"
56902Something about Rascon?
56902Suppose I refuse to do it?
56902Suppose it was either?
56902That is, is it in a dream? 56902 That is,"he added,"I mean-- how did you know that?
56902That may be,I confessed,"but why did she pay?
56902That there was a-- duel by poison?
56902That? 56902 That?"
56902The maid? 56902 Then I suppose you have no objection to my sharing the examination with you?"
56902Then ca n''t you understand how a woman who knows might be driven desperate by it? 56902 Then it''s to him you''ve been talking-- not to me?"
56902Then what is his theory?
56902Then what was it?
56902Then what was it?
56902Then what?
56902Then who was it called Shattuck?
56902Then why did you mention belladonna?
56902Then you are n''t going to write it, after all?
56902Then you credit the Shattuck rumors?
56902Then you knew all about-- what was going on, all along?
56902Then you mean you think that Wilford ate one of these things?
56902Then you really regard the dreams as important?
56902Then you swear that these reports are true?
56902Then you think that that''s what Lathrop meant when he said he strongly disagreed with the theory?
56902Then you think that you will be able to find out from Mrs. Wilford''s dreams more than she''ll ever tell you or any one else about the case?
56902Then you''ll go?
56902There was another woman came in, was n''t there?
56902They merely rode down to the beach and had lunch together?
56902To what am I indebted for the honor?
56902Trouble? 56902 Vina called on Honora Wilford?
56902Want me to find out?
56902Want to use it?
56902Was it Mrs. Lathrop or Shattuck-- or-- was it Mrs. Wilford herself?
56902Was it Vina Lathrop?
56902Was it a man or a woman?
56902Was it belladonna?
56902Was n''t she jealous of Mr. Wilford-- and some one?
56902Was that all that happened?
56902Well, what is this wonderful Freud theory, anyhow?
56902Well, what''s your opinion?
56902Well,I exclaimed,"what was all that kindergarten stuff?"
56902Well-- what then? 56902 Well-- which were you following?"
56902Well-- who was it?
56902Were the dreams I wrote for you all right?
56902Were there any flowers?
56902What about Lathrop''s wife, Vina?
56902What about that bean Jameson picked up here?
56902What about them?
56902What about this new development?
56902What did Shattuck say to that?
56902What did Shattuck tell her?
56902What did he do?
56902What did he say to that?
56902What did he say?
56902What did he want this time?
56902What did you do with it?
56902What did you do?
56902What did you hear?
56902What difference does that make, Walter?
56902What do I care-- for anything-- now?
56902What do we know now that we did n''t know before?
56902What do you call it and what was it really for?
56902What do you know about Mrs. Wilford''s whereabouts on the night Mr. Wilford was killed?
56902What do you know about him?
56902What do you make of it all?
56902What do you mean-- ordeal bean?
56902What do you mean?
56902What do you mean?
56902What do you really_ know_ about her?
56902What do you think is the trouble?
56902What do you think it indicates?
56902What do you think of it?
56902What do you think?
56902What do youse want?
56902What does it do?
56902What does it mean?
56902What else could it have been? 56902 What happened on one of these occasions?"
56902What have I done? 56902 What have_ you_ found?"
56902What is it that I can do for you now?
56902What is it you want me to do now?
56902What is it you want to know?
56902What is it?
56902What is it?
56902What makes you say that?
56902What next?
56902What next?
56902What of Doctor Lathrop?
56902What of Doctor Lathrop?
56902What of him?
56902What of it?
56902What of it?
56902What of the dream about Lathrop?
56902What seems to be the trouble?
56902What was Chase''s answer?
56902What was I to do?
56902What was all that rigmarole of the numbers?
56902What was in it?
56902What was in them? 56902 What was that test?"
56902What was the cause of death?
56902What was your idea in having her write those dreams out again?
56902What were the exact words?
56902What were you thinking about that person?
56902What''s in them?
56902What''s next?
56902What''s on your mind, McCabe?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s the idea, Kennedy?
56902What''s the matter?
56902What''s the trouble?
56902What''s this-- phy-- physos-- what you call it?
56902What, may I ask, were the grounds?
56902What-- to trail her?
56902When Mr. Shattuck called up, he asked her first,''I suppose they''re watching you yet, Honora?'' 56902 Where are they?"
56902Where are they?
56902Where did you find out?
56902Where did you find out?
56902Where did you get it?
56902Where did_ he_ get his information?
56902Where do you suppose she got it?
56902Where else?
56902Where has Mrs. Lathrop gone?
56902Where has she gone?
56902Where is Chase?
56902Where were Shattuck and Lathrop last night?
56902Which one-- Rascon or Chase?
56902Which would I save?
56902Which? 56902 Who is it that you were thinking about?"
56902Who is this Zona Dare, did you say?
56902Who should know better than I what madame was doing?
56902Who told you?
56902Who was it?
56902Who was she?
56902Who was she?
56902Who''s he?
56902Who?
56902Who?
56902Who_ must_ it have been? 56902 Why did Doctor Lathrop say he dissented from the theory?"
56902Why did Shattuck meet her here?
56902Why did n''t you tell me this before?
56902Why did that McCabe tell you he had a day off?
56902Why did you tell me that in the first place?
56902Why do you make these-- these accusations?
56902Why do you think you know so much?
56902Why have you followed me here?
56902Why not ask Mrs. Wilford herself about it?
56902Why not rest while we talk?
56902Why not?
56902Why should I? 56902 Why was she here?
56902Why, Mr. Jameson, you''ve beaten me to it-- and have you got the story?
56902Why, that''s a place on the west coast of Africa, is n''t it? 56902 Why, what has he done now?"
56902Why, you poor foolish little girl-- don''t you understand yet? 56902 Why?
56902Why?
56902Why?
56902Why?
56902Will you write it?
56902Yes?
56902Yes?
56902Yes?
56902You did? 56902 You do n''t expect her to help you?"
56902You do n''t mean to say that you attach any importance to dreams?
56902You do n''t suppose I''d let her get away, do you?
56902You do n''t suppose she suspects anything of this?
56902You gave him up?
56902You got the money with you?
56902You have examined the contents of the stomach?
56902You have records of what she has told you?
56902You know the talk about the Lathrops?
56902You know this little thing-- the blood- pressure measurer that is used by the doctors? 56902 You love madame, do n''t you, Celeste?"
56902You made him write one for you?
56902You mean it?
56902You mean they_ eat_ it-- a poison?
56902You never really cared for her-- did you?
56902You recall what Leslie told us, what Mrs. Wilford told us, and what Doctor Lathrop later confirmed-- her dream of fear?
56902You remember Celeste?
56902You remember that, at the end, I suggested that she might have overlooked something? 56902 You remember the two glasses on the desk when they found him?"
56902You remember, I found his pupils contracted almost to a pin- point?
56902You saw that list of words?
56902You say there was a woman there?
56902You say you saw a woman?
56902You think I ca n''t observe them without experiencing them? 56902 You were acquainted with Honora Wilford, I believe?"
56902You will excuse me a moment?
56902You will excuse me a moment?
56902You''ve been down in Mrs. Smith''s apartment?
56902You''ve heard about Vina and the doctor?
56902You''ve heard nothing more about the gossip regarding Mrs. Lathrop and Shattuck?
56902You''ve told Doyle?
56902_ Où est Ma''m''selle Zona?_she asked.
56902''To see you again, Vance?
56902''You do n''t care if Kennedy finds out about your interest in the play, about your life, about Freud, the"soul scar"theory, and all that?
56902A case, you say-- eh?"
56902Above all, was the report true?
56902And so, when I knew what it was that was taking place-- what was I to do?"
56902And then, who of us has not sown his wild oats?"
56902And then?
56902And was Honora not the simple, unsophisticated woman I had thought?
56902And were n''t you protecting yourself?
56902And what''s the reason for that break in the report?
56902And who is he that he should set himself up to determine fact and fake?
56902And why had she made the substitution that she did?
56902And yet, in the girlhood days, who shall say she did not learn something of the Calabar bean, of the drug, and of its properties?
56902And yet, was it proof?
56902Are n''t there motives enough that we know for you to have wanted him out of the way?"
56902Are they true?"
56902Are you acquainted with the nature of the dreams?"
56902Are you afraid of something?"
56902Are you detective?"
56902Are you writing them into your column?"
56902As for Honora, was she, I kept wondering, after all, the consciously frigid, unconsciously passionate woman?
56902As for Shattuck, was he really fascinated by Vina, after all?
56902At least, she was friendly with him?"
56902At the same time was he playing a game with Vina Lathrop?
56902Before she could recover from the shock that the bald statement seemed to give her, Craig shot out,"Has Doyle told you?"
56902But it''s a poison just the same-- ain''t it?"
56902But the truth-- what was it?
56902But then without that eternal curiosity, who could write?
56902But was it about herself?
56902But was it true?
56902But what do you suppose it is all about, Vance?''"
56902But why?
56902But, if the obvious were rejected, what remained?
56902But, then, who is not, just now?
56902By the way, I suppose you know about that little affair between Mrs. Wilford and Mrs. Lathrop out at the Brent Rock Country Club?"
56902Ca n''t we put two and two together?
56902Ca n''t you see she really does n''t love you-- never did-- never could?"
56902Ca n''t you see she really does n''t love you-- never did-- never could?"
56902Ca n''t you see she really does n''t love you-- never did-- never could?''"
56902Could I have been right?
56902Could it be possible that we ourselves, in turn, were being watched by her?
56902Could it be such a thing which Kennedy was driving at disclosing?
56902Could it have been because she did not love him?"
56902Could it have been because she did not really want to go to him?
56902Could it have been to the maid?"
56902Could it have been with Honora Wilford herself that he was talking?
56902Did Wilford write that letter, or was it written for him?
56902Did he know something about his client that he must shield her from, or was he just a bit vexed at her himself for a certain lack of frankness?
56902Did he realize that he was getting hopelessly tangled?
56902Did it mean anything, this immediate appeal by Vina for help from the Freudian interpreter of the Village?
56902Did n''t you know that, when you planned this ordeal you speak about?
56902Did n''t you really force Mr. Wilford to eat that bean?
56902Did she know something-- and was she really afraid of us?
56902Did she know that Shattuck had possessed some, after all?
56902Did she know that he knew it?
56902Did that mean that at the present moment, as she faced Kennedy, she was repeating the same performance?
56902Did you ever see this man here-- or this woman?"
56902Did you get that?"
56902Do n''t you remember when Lathrop told us she had told him that the bull was so close to her that she could feel its hot breath?"
56902Do n''t you see now what I mean?
56902Do n''t you see?
56902Do n''t you see?
56902Do n''t you think it concerns us-- just a bit more intimately than it does men?"
56902Do n''t you think that significant?"
56902Do you catch the idea?
56902Do you get what I mean?
56902Do you know her?"
56902Does it make any difference?"
56902Doyle?"
56902Ever hear love described as a fire?
56902For a moment Kennedy''s manner seemed to take the doctor off his professional guard-- or did he intend it to seem so?
56902For what?
56902Get it?
56902Get me?"
56902Get that''dear''at the end?
56902Had Doctor Lathrop been the lion in her path, in some way?
56902Had Honora been clever enough to penetrate our ruse?
56902Had Shattuck and Honora, cornered, as they thought by Doyle, leaped at any suggestion?
56902Had Shattuck lied to save her, when he saw that Doyle was framing a case against her?
56902Had Vail Wilford stood in his way with both women?
56902Had Vina and Shattuck, as well, been dabbling in the new dream philosophy?
56902Had a new scandal been brewing and had the sensational press of the city been deprived of it by some untoward circumstance?
56902Had he a reason?
56902Had he framed this duel by poison, preparing safety for himself, death for Wilford?
56902Had he some inkling that Vina was merely using him?
56902Had he suddenly taken leave of his senses?
56902Had it been really an interest in our visit that had prompted it?
56902Had it been really jealousy-- or was it merely wounded pride?
56902Had it been said by Vina of Honora-- or by Honora of Vina?
56902Had it been smuggled in on vessels from the near- by wharves?
56902Had she come to watch Shattuck?
56902Had she known of Shattuck''s regard for Honora and had that aroused in her a desire to break it up, for her own advantage?
56902Had she loved Vail Wilford deeply?
56902Had she rejected one word to cast about for another equally natural?
56902Had she steeled herself for this ordeal, as merely the first of many?
56902Had she told the truth?
56902Had the remark in some way been a shot at the doctor?
56902Had we been followed here?
56902Has his treatment done you any good?"
56902Has n''t she told you?"
56902Her husband or Shattuck-- I wonder which?"
56902His eyes were narrowed, the pupils to a pin- point-- am I right about that, Professor?
56902How about that?"
56902How did he take it?"
56902How far was she piqued at the thought of not having hold enough over Shattuck, also, to keep him from Vina?
56902How was Lathrop-- and why there?"
56902I ask you-- why?"
56902I guess it was what he wanted to know-- eh?"
56902I mean, anything connecting it with Shattuck?"
56902I suppose Doctor Lathrop used to say that too?"
56902I suppose Doyle described it to you-- its devilish uses in the Calabar-- the way the natives use it in ordeals-- and all that sort of thing?"
56902I wanted to warn him-- yet how could I?
56902I''m sure you wo n''t mind?"
56902If I can reconstruct what_ both_--see?
56902If Shattuck was known to have had in his possession some of the fatal Calabar beans, what interpretation could be placed on it?
56902If so, judged by Village standards, was it a hint, a strange example of the so- called"new morality"?
56902If the report of this Rascon had been true, did it not seem to explain and motivate Honora?
56902Is anybody listening?"
56902Is he mixed up in it?"
56902Is it a confession?"
56902Is it?"
56902Is n''t it clear?"
56902Is n''t it likely that it was a frame- up against her?"
56902Is n''t it, Belle?"
56902Is n''t that so?"
56902Is that why you left Mr. Wilford''s name out?
56902Is the maid, Celeste, here?"
56902Is there anything else?"
56902It will go hard with you, you understand?"
56902Know him?"
56902Lathrop?"
56902Lathrop?"
56902Let me tell it-- listen to me-- will you?
56902May I?"
56902Might it not be that he was laying the foundations for an alibi in case Kennedy or some one else retailed stories to her?
56902Moreover, had my own interpretation of his Freudian analysis of her been correct?
56902Must one incriminate oneself by dreams?"
56902No?
56902Oh, why must I be badgered and hounded this way?"
56902Or had Doyle and McCabe executed their end of the scheme clumsily?
56902Or had Honora really discovered the dictagraph in her own home?
56902Or had she confessed to something, in the hope of saving him?
56902Or was Honora contemptuous of a woman of Vina''s type and was silence without any admission her sweetest revenge?
56902Or was he dissembling so as not to betray anything to us?
56902Or was it really to watch her husband?
56902Or was it that Chase was working to protect his client and save her-- at any cost and in spite of her own wishes?
56902Or was it to watch Vina?
56902Or was there some deeper reason?
56902Or, it suddenly occurred to me, was Honora deeper than I suspected, and was her seeming ignorance only a pose?
56902Passing by the paraldehyde cocktail, what''s good?"
56902Picked up here?
56902Pretty pointed, was n''t it?
56902Remember Freud?--a crowd, something secret?
56902See?"
56902Sexless women wo n''t have children-- then after whom will the next generation after them take?"
56902Shattuck had been pursuing Mrs. Lathrop, had n''t he?"
56902She glanced at him covertly, as much as to say,"So, then, you have been talking about me to him?"
56902She had been treated for some time by Doctor Lathrop-- you know, the society physician they all run to?"
56902She ought to tell for her own sake-- don''t you think?"
56902Strange, do n''t you think, Kennedy?"
56902Then, leading the detective on,"Now, Rascon, what did your employer, Mr. Wilford, say when that report was presented to him?"
56902There-- don''t you see?
56902To cap it all, what of Honora?
56902Was Celeste to be trusted-- even over a dictagraph?
56902Was Craig, also, laying a foundation for the ultimate conviction of Honora?
56902Was Rascon ready to risk anything rather than to have those reports pass into unfriendly hands?
56902Was Shattuck proof?
56902Was Shattuck telling the truth about what happened-- or was he coloring it to save himself?
56902Was Vina fishing-- or did she really know something?
56902Was he determined to save his client, even at the cost of her lover?
56902Was he inhuman?
56902Was he not building up motives?
56902Was he still woman- crazy?
56902Was he waiting for more conclusive evidence?
56902Was he, after all, just a murderer?
56902Was it a clue?
56902Was it a trap?
56902Was it an elaborate camouflage?
56902Was it because he was sure that she would not believe it?
56902Was it because she had checked a first thought suggested by the word and had taken extra time to substitute something for it?
56902Was it because they knew nothing, or was there a tacit understanding between them never to mention some mutual secret?
56902Was it because they recognized it as a dangerous subject?
56902Was it due to her more emotional nature?
56902Was it merely due to her insane infatuation for Shattuck?
56902Was it morphine, as in the cases Doyle cited?"
56902Was it not what he would have said to Honora, anyway?
56902Was it superficial-- as so much of that little world into which Kennedy had plunged me?
56902Was it that Doyle, by his manner, antagonized her?
56902Was it wholly natural reticence?
56902Was it, as I had believed at first,"heart"?
56902Was not Kennedy practically taxing her with loving another man than her husband?
56902Was she jealous of Shattuck paying attentions to the woman who had so fascinated her own husband?
56902Was she telling the truth-- or was she really a great actress who had just found herself?
56902Was she the marble woman he had made me think her?
56902Was she, after all, guilty-- or at least a party to the crime?
56902Was that why Honora was silent?
56902Was this all confirmation of the rumored relations between Vina Lathrop and Vail Wilford, as Doyle had dug the story up?
56902Was this call what he had been waiting for?
56902Was this the jealous soul mate pursuing her affinity and finding him false?
56902What about you?"
56902What about?''
56902What are the numbers?"
56902What could be better advertising than for the celebrated case in the news to be connected with the tea- room?
56902What could be the purpose of bringing the stranger to us now?
56902What did he mean by the inflection of his voice and by the look?
56902What did it mean?
56902What did it mean?
56902What did it mean?
56902What did it mean?
56902What do these comfortable nibblers at anarchy expect to get out of it?"
56902What do you mean?"
56902What do you think?"
56902What does he say?"
56902What does that mean, you ask?
56902What had Craig overheard through that dictagraph?
56902What had that dream meant?
56902What held her back?
56902What is it that this man knows?
56902What next?
56902What of it?"
56902What was back of it all?
56902What was human emotion, compared to a good record and report in the files at Headquarters?
56902What was it-- fear for him or of him?
56902What was it?"
56902What was it?"
56902What was the matter?
56902What was the purpose that lay back of this visit?
56902What was the reason?
56902What were her emotions?
56902What would a Calabar bean be lying on the floor here for?"
56902What''s he done?
56902What''s that, Kennedy?
56902What''s the explanation?"
56902What''s the use?
56902What, indeed, was the viewpoint-- according to the"new morality"?
56902When?
56902Where are_ your_ children?
56902Where did you get it?"
56902Where is the body?"
56902Where was she?''
56902Who wanted her husband out of the way?
56902Why did she cut out that about the hot breath of the bull?
56902Why did she deny absolutely the face of Shattuck?"
56902Why did she?
56902Why did you do it?"
56902Why did you tell him to give her up-- that she never had loved him, did not, and never could love him?"
56902Why had he not spoken it?
56902Why should she try to conceal under a cloak of indifference her real interest in the thing?
56902Why was he in Shattuck''s apartment?
56902Why was she unable to go to him?
56902Why, what do you mean?"
56902Why, you and Doyle and the newspapers"--nodding insultingly at me--"ought to be able to do that best, do n''t you think?
56902Why?
56902Wilford?"
56902Wilford?"
56902Wilford?"
56902Wilford?"
56902Will you help me?"
56902Wo n''t you write that other dream for me, also?"
56902Would I ever have hit on it by luck?"
56902Would he not be able to discover that secretly she cared really very deeply for him and not for Vail?"
56902Would she have acted in just this manner if it had been that she believed Kennedy to be making a direct accusation against her?
56902XIII THE MECHANICAL EAR"Then it was Honora you overheard over the dictagraph?"
56902XVI THE FINESSE"What''s the next move?"
56902Yes?"
56902You and Doyle will keep me informed?"
56902You did n''t find any traces of others about, did you?"
56902You have been reading the French detective tales-- eh?--_Cherchez la femme_?"
56902You know the lawyer, Vail Wilford?
56902You know this ordeal bean from the Calabar?
56902You might tell that to Doyle-- but why tell me?
56902You remember old Honore Chappelle?
56902You remember the Buchanan case?"
56902You see, he next asked her:''Ca n''t you see me?
56902You''re not acquainted with the test?
56902greeted Doctor Leslie; then catching sight of Kennedy, he entered and asked,"Have you discovered anything yet, Professor?"
56902he queried,"or do you mean you think he was devoting too much time and attention to the particular client?"
5073A Mexican?
5073A murder?
5073A note?
5073A pawnbroker''s?
5073A tenement?
5073Ah,he remarked,"an anxiety dream?
5073An Ainu?
5073And Dr. Maudsley,I asked quickly,"do you think it is through him or in spite of him?"
5073And Edith Atherton?
5073And I?
5073And how did you repay it? 5073 And if Lynn finds that the necklace in our wall safe is of paste-- as he will find, for he is an expert in diamonds-- oh-- what shall I do?
5073And it has proved effective?
5073And she got away?
5073And the children-- what did you mean by that?
5073And the other man, Otaka?
5073And then?
5073And there is not a clue?
5073And you would do it in war time, too?
5073And your plan?
5073Another one?
5073Antoinette Moulton a steerer for a gambling joint? 5073 Anything else?"
5073Are there no other relatives?
5073Are we in time?
5073Are you going down toward the station? 5073 Are you sure he did it?"
5073Are you sure?
5073Baron Kreiger, I presume?
5073Belle Aire? 5073 Buster?"
5073But do n''t you think this is a case for a-- a doctor, rather than a detective?
5073But how about the treasure?
5073But how do you suppose it was possible for anyone to administer it? 5073 But the letter?"
5073But the pipes are of lead, are they not?
5073But the struggle here, the sleeve of the dress, the pistol-- could he have been shot?
5073But this Aquaero-- who is he?
5073But who would do it?
5073But you must have read of the famous Moulton diamonds?
5073But--?
5073By the way,he said, breaking off naturally,"what is that?"
5073By the way,she asked anxiously,"do you think there are any precautions that I should take for Mrs. Blake-- and the rest?"
5073By what?
5073Ca n''t they find out by-- er, interference?
5073Can people affect you for good or evil, merely by thinking about you?
5073Can you arrange to spend the week- end with me at Stuyvesant Verplanck''s at Bluffwood?
5073Can you guess who that was?
5073Can you repeat these numbers after me?
5073Capper?
5073Carter-- Wickham-- Australia Mac?
5073Cocaine?
5073Could n''t get it?
5073Could one always be true to oneself in the face of any temptation?
5073Could you get us-- initiated?
5073Craig,I remarked contemplatively, after a while,"how about Atherton himself?
5073Did anything happen to him? 5073 Did auto- suggestion, self- hypnotism explain what I have seen?
5073Did he call-- er-- yesterday?
5073Did he swallow it-- necessarily?
5073Did n''t you know-- he-- came back from Vera Cruz yesterday?
5073Did the intruder get anything?
5073Did you ever hear of coating the skin by a substance which is impervious to water, smooth and elastic?
5073Did you notice how that diamond in her neck sparkled?
5073Did you see anyone in the museum who looked suspicious?
5073Did you see him go?
5073Did you want to get rid of him?
5073Do n''t you begin to see the scheme? 5073 Do n''t you understand?"
5073Do you feel any better?
5073Do you know anything about this Australia Mac?
5073Do you remember seeing Northrop here yesterday afternoon?
5073Do you see that?
5073Do you smell the odor in this room? 5073 Do you suppose there is anything significant in that?"
5073Do you think I''d keep dynamite, even in the safe?
5073Do you think he robbed himself?
5073Do you think radium could have had anything to do with that?
5073Do you think she has run away?
5073Do?
5073Does Haughton know of this note?
5073Does Moulton play?
5073Does Mrs. Hazleton know of-- of his reputed intimacy?
5073Does he know? 5073 Does she get along badly with Edith?
5073Does there seem to be any immediate danger?
5073Done?
5073Dr. Bryant,she appealed,"is he-- is he, really-- so badly?"
5073Dr. Hopf? 5073 Dr. Maudsley is your family physician?"
5073Dr. Maudsley,Craig added, dropping his voice,"is Morton III the son of Millicent Hazleton or not?
5073Er-- yes,I stammered in surprise at seeing him so unexpectedly,"but where did you come from?
5073Felicie,called a rather nervous voice from the second floor,"is it some one from the company?"
5073Fireworks?
5073Food?
5073For God''s sake, Kennedy,shouted a voice at the street door,"what are you doing here?"
5073For the sake of-- that baby-- would she-- would she forgive?
5073For which the latest thing is the radium water cure, I suppose?
5073Gone?
5073Gossip?
5073Had he any visitors during the day?
5073Had there been anything that would foreshadow the-- er-- disappearance?
5073Happy dust?
5073Has Dr. Wilson been here this morning?
5073Has anything else happened?
5073Has anything new developed?
5073Has that been the effect of our story, Walter? 5073 Have any of the plans been carried out yet?"
5073Have n''t they taken Minturn''s body away?
5073Have there been any threatening letters?
5073Have they a sufficient value, even on appreciative Fifth Avenue, to warrant murder?
5073Have they found out yet?
5073Have you any clue to the cause of her death?
5073Have you any idea how the lead poisoning could have been caused?
5073Have you any idea what it can be?
5073Have you any idea?
5073Have you any of the letters that Archer wrote home?
5073Have you heard the news?
5073Have you made any progress?
5073Hello, O''Connor,I heard Kennedy say;"you read that story in the Star this morning about the drug fiends at that Broadway cabaret?
5073Hour after hour, Rapport and the rest repeated over and over again,''Why does not some one kill him? 5073 How about that bandage about Haughton''s neck?"
5073How about the letters?
5073How about the windows?
5073How are the signals given?
5073How could it have been introduced?
5073How did it happen?
5073How did the Lucie come to be equipped with wireless?
5073How did you come to use it first?
5073How did you discover it?
5073How did you discover it?
5073How did you know? 5073 How do they take them?
5073How do you feel, this morning?
5073How does it work?
5073How is it?
5073How is she to- day?
5073How is she?
5073How long since society took you up?
5073How much is in it?
5073How should I know?
5073How should I know?
5073How were you to-- reach the Baron?
5073How would Rapport use the death thought, I wonder?
5073How-- where?
5073How?
5073How?
5073How?
5073I could n''t get it all, but I did hear her repeating over and over to Hazleton,''Are n''t you all mine? 5073 I guessed as much,"remarked Kennedy,"but how does she get it here?"
5073I had hoped so,remarked Kennedy,"Do you know the woman?"
5073I may keep these?
5073I presume you carry burglary insurance?
5073I suppose you are more or less familiar with what Northrop brought back?
5073I suppose you have heard of the''billionaire baby,''Morton Hazleton III?
5073I suppose you have heard of this rumor from London of a trust that is going into the radium field internationally?
5073I suppose you have no idea what Dr. Maudsley has prescribed for her?
5073I wonder if I could see her?
5073I wonder whether the lead lining fits closely to the steel?
5073In the dream? 5073 In the paper this morning?
5073In the woods?
5073In your dream when Dr. Maudsley appeared,asked Kennedy, evidently interested in filling in the gap,"what did he do?"
5073Indeed?
5073Indeed?
5073Indeed?
5073Ions?
5073Is Mrs. Blake stricken now by the same trouble that seems to have affected Buster?
5073Is he a frequent visitor?
5073Is he much of a player?
5073Is he trying to hide something?
5073Is it the curse that she dreaded?
5073Is that all?
5073Is the habit so extensive?
5073Is there a gang operating?
5073Is there anything besides your dream that alarms you,he asked, changing the subject quickly,"any suspicion of-- say the servants?"
5073Is this Professor Kennedy?
5073Is this another of those radium safes?
5073Is this the German embassy in Washington?
5073Is-- he-- all right?
5073It is not a very modern safe, is it?
5073Jermyn? 5073 Just a moment, Hartley,"she answered, then, lower to her mother, added,"I do n''t think it can do any harm, do you, mother?"
5073Just what is an electro- magnetic gun?
5073Just what is it you fear?
5073Kennedy,he blurted out in a tone of suppressed excitement,"can I trust you to keep a big secret?"
5073Know her?
5073Lead?
5073Like what?
5073Lloyd''s?
5073May I have a glass of water?
5073May I see it?
5073May I see the bath?
5073Might I see your jewel case?
5073Might we go over with you now? 5073 Minturn-- dead?"
5073Miss Lowe,he said, catching her eye and holding it almost hypnotically,"why have you come to see me?"
5073Miss Sears,asked her mistress,"will you get Buster, please?"
5073Mold?
5073More''happy dust''?
5073Mrs. Lynn Moulton, for instance?
5073Mrs. Lynn Moulton?
5073Mrs. Moulton,he said slowly, rising and handing it back to her,"have you told me all?"
5073Mrs. Sutphen? 5073 Muller?"
5073Mummery?
5073No bad news from Mitla, I hope?
5073No epilepsy, no insanity of any form?
5073Nothing?
5073Now, for example,went on Craig,"how would you advise him to marry?"
5073Now, if I may see Morton?
5073Now, why was Mrs. Sutphen there?
5073Oh, Mr. Kennedy,he exclaimed,"who now will come to my baths?
5073Oh, ca n''t you understand yet?
5073Oh, ca n''t you understand?
5073Oh, then you have actually already acted on the hint in the letter?
5073Other man-- Otaka? 5073 Over what?"
5073Persecuting her?
5073Poisoning?
5073Poker?
5073Poor mother,he remarked anxiously,"do you think she will pull through, Professor?
5073Professor Kennedy?
5073Read?
5073Really,he answered,"you see how impossible it is for me to have an opinion?
5073Say,exclaimed one of the men,"what''s the matter?
5073Seems purposeless, insane, does n''t it?
5073She had a doctor, I suppose?
5073She had n''t been feeling well for several days, had she?
5073She told nothing of herself?
5073She''s getting the stuff now?
5073So,Craig exclaimed,"you are the-- the air pirate?"
5073Some gentlemen from the company? 5073 Still,"considered Kennedy,"there might have been something latent in her family germ plasm back of the time through which you could trace it?"
5073Strange how some of these waiters grow rich?
5073Sulphate of strychnine?
5073Suppose we go in my little runabout, the Streamline II? 5073 Suppose you could n''t get it, what then?"
5073Tell me,she said eagerly,"how did Mr. Minturn die?
5073Tell me-- have you and this other woman met the Baron yet? 5073 That''s what they mean by stray or vagabond currents, is n''t it?"
5073The Baron?
5073The Bowery?
5073The Schofields come of good stock?
5073The actress and professional beauty? 5073 The body has been removed?"
5073The door was locked?
5073The leader?
5073The pneumogastric nerves?
5073The point is, then,ruminated Kennedy,"what happened in the interval between the ringing of the alarm and the arrival of the special officers?
5073The stones were unset?
5073Then I-- I failed?
5073Then it is the alpha rays with which we are concerned mostly now?
5073Then it was for medical treatment that Mr. Minturn was taking the bath?
5073Then there were no recessive traits in her family,asked Kennedy quickly,"of the same sort that you find in the Athertons?"
5073Then what is it?
5073Then you do n''t know the gossip?
5073Then you do not feel like continuing the tests we abandoned last night?
5073Then you have refused to go into the combine? 5073 Then you have suspicions of something worse?"
5073Then you think he may be right?
5073Then,I put in,"the toxin was produced by germs, after all?"
5073There had been no sound-- no cry to alarm you?
5073They will?
5073To whom?
5073Toe- prints?
5073Treasure?
5073WAS it a snake bite?
5073Warner Pearcy?
5073Was I in time? 5073 Was Northrop in his room while these people were here?"
5073Was he here last night?
5073Was it Wickham-- or intended for Wickham?
5073Was it drowning that caused her death?
5073Well,he asked,"what do you think of it, now?"
5073Well?
5073Well?
5073Well?

5073What-- no test-- NONE?
5073What?

5073Where?
5073Which is true? 5073 Which means-- in this case?"
5073Who are the other leaders?
5073Who are these?
5073Who blew the whistle?
5073Who dropped it?
5073Who enters the Red Lodge?
5073Who is her physician?
5073Who is in the next room?
5073Who is it, mother?
5073Who operates it?
5073Who was that young man in the music room?
5073Who wrote it? 5073 Who?"
5073Who?
5073Who?
5073Why did n''t you say anything about the letter to him?
5073Why did she need money so badly?
5073Why do you suspect them?
5073Why do you think it affects each so differently?
5073Why should anyone want to steal tablets of old Mixtec inscriptions?
5073Why that?
5073Why, Miss-- er-- Miss-- my dear young lady-- what''s the matter?
5073Why, since we should be the principal competitors to the foreign mines, could n''t this robbery have been due to the machinations of these schemers? 5073 Why?"
5073Why?
5073Will it never stop? 5073 Will the gentlemen drink a little sake?"
5073Will you ask her if I may?
5073Will you get it for me? 5073 With the money?"
5073Would n''t that account for her fears?
5073Would you like to relax your mind by a little excursion among the curio shops of the city? 5073 Would you like to run down there in the Streamline?"
5073Would you mind waiting in this little dressing room?
5073YOU commit a murder?
5073Yes, I know,responded Mrs. Blake anxiously,"but is it true?"
5073Yes, yes,he encouraged,"but who is the other woman?"
5073Yes,I objected,"but how about those in the comb?"
5073Yes,encouraged Craig,"what can I do for you?"
5073Yes?
5073Yes?
5073Yes?
5073You are acquainted with the latest treatment for lead poisoning by means of the electric bath?
5073You are not coming aboard?
5073You can use that?
5073You did n''t know before that Antoinette Moulton, like many of her friends in the smart set, was a gambler-- and loser-- did you?
5073You do n''t think she''s a dope fiend herself, do you?
5073You do not know yourself of any reason why she should fear anything, do you?
5073You drink the water from the tap?
5073You have been Mrs. Edwards''physician for some time, I believe?
5073You have been with her several days, though, have n''t you?
5073You have had no word about your car?
5073You have heard of the so- called''phantom bandit''of Bluffwood, have n''t you?
5073You have heard of the thyroid gland in the neck?
5073You have looked it up?
5073You have n''t a wireless on the Nautilus, have you?
5073You have n''t found out yet what it is, then?
5073You have n''t heard of the Red Lodge?
5073You have n''t heard, then?
5073You have n''t told anyone?
5073You have no idea, I suppose, of anything that was weighing on his mind?
5073You have not been robbed yourself?
5073You have not the combination?
5073You have seen the safe in there?
5073You heard nothing?
5073You here?
5073You know Burroughs Atherton on both lines of descent?
5073You know him pretty well?
5073You know him?
5073You know, I suppose,added Denison,"that he is engaged to Felicie Woods, the daughter of Mrs. Courtney Woods?"
5073You lost nothing?
5073You mean, may the whole trouble lie with him?
5073You remember the light? 5073 You say that Miss Verrall and her mother have gone back to the city?"
5073You see that?
5073You think Dr. Rae Wilson knows nothing of it yet?
5073You think that the suspicions I had have been justified?
5073You were blackmailed out of the money?
5073You would recognize some of them if you saw them?
5073You''re sure it is all right?
5073You''re sure it is all right?
5073You-- you do n''t think it is serious?
5073You-- you wo n''t hurt Buster?
5073Your brother is not at home?
5073Your wife thinks it is Burroughs who is persecuting her?
5073''Ca n''t you do something?''
5073''Can I trust you?''
5073About those words,"he continued,"what did you make of the list and the answers?"
5073And, Jameson-- you''ll tone down that part of it in the newspapers that Junior-- might read-- when he grows up?"
5073And,"he would add with the tradesman''s idea of humor,"I guess he has enough to play a game of poker-- eh?"
5073Annenberg?"
5073Are n''t you all mine?''
5073Are you going to leave Armand?"
5073As for Vaughn, was he trying to hide behind some technicality in medical ethics?
5073As for accident, why should a person fall overboard from a large houseboat into a perfectly calm harbor?
5073Atherton?"
5073Atherton?"
5073But by what?
5073But how did he get in?
5073But is there none left?
5073But"--rman"--what did that mean?
5073By the way, Pedersen, are you the only person aboard who can operate this?"
5073By the way, as our interview may last a few minutes, would you mind sitting down?
5073CHAPTER II THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC GUN"What shall we do?"
5073Ca n''t you-- can''t you find my necklace?"
5073Can you DO something?"
5073Can you come along?"
5073Can you give us a line?"
5073Can you help me?"
5073Can you let me have a sample?"
5073Can you tell me what number that was which just called?"
5073Car or boat?"
5073Could it be Herman-- Herman Schloss?
5073Could it have been a light on the mast of a boat moving rapidly up the bay and perhaps nearer to us than we suspected?
5073Could it have been a signal to some one on this side of the bay, a signal light in the woods?"
5073Could it have been that she had really been bitten at some of the orgies by the serpent which they worshiped hideously hissing in its cage?
5073Could we prevent it?
5073Could you get us into the inner circle, Miss Lowe?"
5073Did he know something else already, and did she know he knew?
5073Did his discovery portend something diabolical, or was it purely a defect in nature which Dr. Crafts of the Eugenics Bureau had overlooked?
5073Did she know something about the case, I wondered?
5073Did they know about the letter, after all, I wondered?
5073Did you know he was ill?"
5073Did you notice Veronica Haversham''s yellowish whiteness, her down- drawn mouth, elevated eyebrows, and contracted eyes?
5073Did you notice the size?
5073Disappeared?
5073Do n''t you see?
5073Do n''t you understand?
5073Do you know anything about it?"
5073Do you want to show it to him?"
5073Edwards?"
5073Escaped?"
5073Had Minturn, I wondered, known the name of the real criminal?
5073Had Mrs. Moulton robbed the safe herself, or hired some one else to do it for her, and had that person gone back on her?
5073Had he smoked it?"
5073Had her desperate love for Hazleton produced a hallucination?
5073Had the events of the past few days worked on her mind and driven her into temporary insanity?
5073Had the murderer used the safest of poisons-- one that left no clue?
5073Halsey Haughton suffering from cancer?
5073Has Veda Blair been driven almost to death by her own fears only?"
5073Have they done anything yet to the Baron?"
5073Have you tested for the ordinary poisons?"
5073Hazleton?"
5073He had it as he went on:"Do we not brew within ourselves poisons which enter the circulation and pervade the system?
5073He is in the gravest danger if he-- What?
5073He left last night at midnight and is already here?"
5073Hello-- what''s this?"
5073Hollingsworth?"
5073Hopf?"
5073Hopf?"
5073Hopf?"
5073Hopf?"
5073How about that?"
5073How can it be done?"
5073How could she ever be stopped?
5073How did Minturn die?
5073How did he look?"
5073How did you know?"
5073How far has it gone?"
5073How was Fortescue discovered, Burke?"
5073I asked airily, adding,"Is it a large house party you are getting up?"
5073I believe it is rumored that your father suffered from lead poisoning?"
5073I knew that if Hazleton with his infatuation of her were to learn---""And Mrs. Hazleton, has she been told?"
5073I saw Kennedy check a motion of surprise and came to the rescue with the natural question:"His wife-- with a beard and mustache?"
5073I''ll pick you up anywhere between this and the Bridge-- how about Columbus Circle in half an hour?"
5073If the story had been told to Hazleton, what might he not have already done?
5073In other words, does she, did she, ever love him?
5073Inside was a beautiful little"Peke,"and it was easy to see that Buster was indeed ill."Who is your doctor?"
5073Is he really free from the-- er-- stigmata, I suppose you call them, of insanity?"
5073Is he?"
5073Is n''t it possible that it might hit some one somewhere who was susceptible?"
5073Is that all right?"
5073Is there a road over there, above the Carter house?"
5073Is-- is it true-- what this man-- says?
5073It must be a boy-- and an ATHERTON?"
5073Kennedy did not dwell on the contradiction, but added,"And the crowd?"
5073Klemm''s Sanitarium?
5073May I trouble you to place your fingers on this paper-- so?"
5073May I?"
5073Might I ask exactly what it is you fear in your dreams?"
5073Might he not be playing a game with the combination in which he had protected himself so that he would win, no matter what happened?
5073Might not some trusted employee return to the office, open it, give the proper signals and loot the safe?"
5073Might not that explain the lack of finger prints also?"
5073Might not this be, instead of cancer, a radium burn?
5073Might we see Mr. Haughton for a moment?
5073Moulton?"
5073Northrop?"
5073Now if-- say Hazleton-- should call-- will you listen in on that vocaphone for me?"
5073Now, is it overfunction of the glands, hyper- secretion-- or is it something else?"
5073Or had the blackmailing gang of automobile thieves, failing in extorting money by their original plan, seized her?
5073Or were there other marks on his body which we could not see?
5073Our knowledge seems new, but is it?
5073Perhaps, why certainly, you must know him-- Annenberg, an instructor in economics now at the University?"
5073Really?"
5073See those shoe- prints up to this point?
5073She knows her I presume?"
5073She may at this moment be anchored off some exclusive yacht club, flying the respectable burgee of the club-- who knows?"
5073Slowly, a strange mephitic vapor seemed to exhale into the room-- or was it my heightened imagination?
5073That is the case you''re going to write up, is n''t it?"
5073That''s enough, is n''t it?"
5073The question is, to my mind, who is this fence?"
5073There are a certain number of isolated ladies and gentlemen-- dissociated ions--""Who do n''t know these new dances?"
5073They must be turned into currency-- or what''s the use of robbery?
5073Vaughn?"
5073Walter, attend to that, will you?
5073Was Muller the"fence"we were seeking, or only a tool for the"fence"higher up?
5073Was each concealing something?
5073Was each in doubt about just how much the other knew?
5073Was each suspicious of the other?
5073Was he alone?
5073Was he dead when he was discovered?"
5073Was he, too, overcome?
5073Was it Mrs. Langhorne who had been the disturbing influence, whose power she feared, over herself and over her husband?
5073Was it an atavistic joy in the horrible or was it merely a blasphemous curiosity?
5073Was it hypnotism?
5073Was it in its worship of the root of all evil that it had fallen?
5073Was it not a recognition of his hypnotic power?
5073Was it the product of her drug- disordered brain?
5073Was she insane?
5073Was she really to be the Lady Madeline in this fall of the House of Atherton?
5073Was she talking of the blackmailer, Dr. Hopf?
5073Was that her philosophy of life?
5073Was that the interpretation of the almost hypnotized look on Blair''s face?
5073Was the criminal higher up to escape because one of his tools had been cornered and had taken the easiest way to get out?
5073Was the mark hidden by the bandage about Haughton''s neck the brand of the stolen tubes?
5073Was there in it, I wondered, an element of fear lest if she refused to talk suspicion might grow even greater?
5073Was there such a cult here in my own city?
5073Was there, I asked myself, sufficient reason for suicide?
5073Was there, indeed, no test?
5073We were to see him to- night-- a quiet dinner, after an automobile ride up the Hudson--""Both of you?"
5073Were they merely good actors?
5073Were those letters that were stolen from you the only ones you had in the safe?"
5073What are you going to do to protect the safe to- night?"
5073What can a rich society woman have to do with a place like that or a man like Schloss?"
5073What did it mean?
5073What did it mean?
5073What did she mean?
5073What did you find, Doctor?"
5073What did you mean by Jermyn?"
5073What do they really think of it in New York?"
5073What do you make of it?"
5073What do you think of it?"
5073What had been done with the plans?
5073What happened?"
5073What happens to the dissociated ions?"
5073What have you found out by studying Buster?"
5073What if she died?
5073What is it like?"
5073What is the matter?"
5073What terrible power was it?
5073What to do?
5073What was cleverer, you said to yourself, than to seem to be robbed of what you never had, to blame it on a bitter rival who never existed?
5073What was he doing?
5073What was it she saw?
5073What was it that held me?
5073What was it?
5073What was the first question you asked me?
5073What was this fearsome, cruel belief, this modern witchcraft that could unnerve a rich and educated woman?
5073What was this, I asked myself breathlessly-- a new transcendental toxicology?
5073What was to be done?
5073What were the possibilities of blackmail in the right sort of evidence?
5073What''s Kennedy doing-- anything?"
5073What''s the effect?"
5073What''s the matter?"
5073What-- gone?
5073Where are the gold and silver of the conquistadores?
5073Where are you sending the boys-- to the Longacre?"
5073Which would win-- the old fascination of the occult or the new power of science?
5073Who could it be?
5073Who could it have been who bore the tell- tale burn?
5073Who received it?"
5073Who was it?
5073Who was it?
5073Who was the mysterious Mexican woman, who the shaggy Russian?
5073Who was the person, the only one who could have done it?
5073Who was this Stein?
5073Whose?
5073Why do you ask?"
5073Why does he not die?''
5073Why, Monsieur?"
5073Why-- didn''t you-- get away-- while there was time-- after you warned me?"
5073Why-- what''s the matter?
5073Why?"
5073Will no one stop it?
5073Will you promise not to stay long?
5073Will you see that Buster is sent up to my laboratory immediately?"
5073Would Craig leave him in there, perhaps to die?
5073Would it succeed?
5073Would she stop at anything if she feared the loss of her favorite drug?
5073Would the mere accusation be enough to dissociate the truth from, that brain or would Kennedy have to resort to other means?
5073Would those people who seem to be trying to extend their new company all over the world stop at anything in order to cripple us at the start?"
5073Would you like to remain here?
5073Yes?
5073Yes?
5073Yet how were we to get to him?
5073Yet what could we do, marooned on the other side of the bay?
5073Yet what possible object could she have had in putting the Streamline out of commission?
5073You are from the company?"
5073You can trust Armand?"
5073You do n''t know anything more about the robbery?"
5073You do n''t mind going over and then back?"
5073You have n''t taken that up yet?"
5073You have read of the case?"
5073You know Miss Haversham, Veronica Haversham?"
5073You know the place?"
5073You know who is backing it?"
5073You mean his wife?"
5073You mean one which he must bear on himself?"
5073You say her face was hidden?"
5073You see those weak and wobbly rays that seem to fall to one side?
5073You see what I am driving at?
5073You understand what I am up against?"
5073asked Kennedy, looking up from a test tube which he had been examining, with an air for all the world expressive of"Why so hot, little man?"
5073asked Kennedy,"the''will of the Lodge''?"
5073she repeated, then smiling to herself as people will when they are leaving the borderline of anesthesia, she repeated the name,"Hopf?"
