at Miss Lowe followed Burke furtively nowas though he had
some uncanny power.
Fortescue's laboratory was in an old building on a side street several blocks from the main thoroughfares of

necessary for his work.
If he had any visitors last night commented Kennedy when our cab at last pulled up before the place [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they
might have come and gone unnoticed.
We entered. Nothing had been disturbed in the laboratory by the coroner and Kennedy was able to gain a
complete idea of the case rapidlyalmost as well as if we had been called in immediately.

his assistants only a few hours before when he had come to the laboratory in the morning to open it. Evidently
he had been there undisturbed all nightkeeping a gruesome vigil over his looted treasure house.

had the diabolical cunning to do it in some ordinary way that aroused no suspicion on the part of the victim
for there was no sign of any violence anyyilai:
