ut is I-Maubikeck!" was the re-
ply; and the voice in which 1t was
uttered was so full of excitement that,
unmindful of my scant attire, sprang
to the door to admit my visitor His
face was working with passion, and
with stride he was in my room.
They've gone!" he roared. "Gone!"
"GOne!" | echoed who's gomez"
"Signorira Barlotti, Maligni, the old
woman, Dambo and all the resi!" he
said, painting with excitement. Il went
to their hotel while ago, and the
clerk told me that Maligni and his
people-that meant Nita and the hag
left before daylight, ard left no in
formation as to where they were go
ing. They've gone-they've gone!
That devil Maligni has taken her
away-her-my love-my Nita."
AS he calculated these words, the
lion-tamer strode back and forth in
my room. There was pathos in his
grief and rage that touched me even
more than my own disappointment
did.
But" l said, reassuringly, "they
cannot escape us. We will go to
Byrnes, Superintendent of Police, and
he will catch them for us. Maligni
cannot leave New York without being
detected
"Maligni can!" replied Maubikeck.
''Maligni could wriggle out of hell,
ard Satan himself could not prevent
him."

and | made our way as quickly as pos
sible to police headquarters and told
our story. Superintendent Byrnes at
once sent out orders to his men to
make a thorough search Tor the party.
Leaving the superintendent sud-
den thought rushed upon me-a recol-
lection of what the major told me
about the druggist Tortoni. l hastily
told something of this to Maubikeck,
and knowing about where the store
was located, we hurried there. We
found it easily, and rushed in. A
woman stood behind the counter.
Il want to see the druggist, Tortoni,
at once | said, imperative1y.
He is gone away" sac said in
broken English. 'He is gone to Eu-
rope"
When did he go?" l asked in am
azement.
Yesterday he sailed" was the re-
ply.
Believing this to be lie, turned
to Maubikeck and said:
1T is thicker than we supposed.
There are many engaged in the
affair."
to the hotel where Maligni and Mia
had been stopping.
There they told me just what they
had told Maubikeck.
Have you any objections to open
ing the rooms?" asked.
The clerk smiled.
NO" ne replied. Here is the key
up if you want to-"
We mounted the stairs and entered
number 112. 1t was bare of every
thing save the hotel furniture. Just
as We were leaving. l happened to
see bit of folded paper on the floor.
l picked it up. Reading it, handed
it to Maubikeck. AS he read it, his
face grew pale and he uttered fierce
curse under his breath. This is what
was written on the paper in pretty,
feminine hand:
"Maubikeck! Maubikeck! He Is
taking me away do not know
where! He is in frightful temper.
l must obey or he will kill me. Follow
us; find me and rescue me from Ma
ligni! l love you, Maubikeck, and
only you! NITA"
