pletely changed. Nine. Koluchy had at
last put herself under the power of the
law. and her arrest at the worst was
only q question OF days She had. IL Is
true. a good start OF her enemy, but
an early wire TO Scotland Yard would
limit her movements by every conceiv-
able device. Each railway terminus in
Eagland would be watched, as well as
every port all over the country; for in
all probability she would try TO make
straight back to Italy, where, even II
she were arrested for crimes commit
ted in England. according TO internal
tional law the Italian authorities would
not be bound to deliver her uD 70 an
English tribunal.
BY an early train the two detectives.
Dpfrayer and myself returned 10 town.
Madame had, of course. avoided the
railways. and had doubtless gone Off
by road on prearranged plan with
some of her cOnfederates.
On the way up, Tyler, who had been
silent for some little time, leant across
10 the official inspector and said:
''Ford, shall put Miss Beringer on to
this case now. I have more faith in her
intuition and skill where woman Is
to be hunted down than in any Of my
own men, or yours either"
The inspector smiled.
Just as you like" he said. 81 am
veil aware of Miss Beringer's skill.
There is not a cleverer lady detective
IN the whole OF London. but. whether
she Is employed in the case or not. Ma
dame cannot keep out OF our clutches
much longer. She has probably got
back to London by now. and when
once there I'll swear she won't get oct.
What we have to do when we arrive is
40 so straight to Bow street and get
the warrant drawn up"
You look terribly knocked up,
Head" said DufTayer, glancing al me.
Il have not quite got over the shock
7 received yesterday" was nv reply;
''but my hand and arm are not nearly
so painful as they were. and am far
too excited to think of rest at present.
When 1 reach town I shall go straight
off to Monkhouse, in Wimpoie street,
and take his advice. My impression is
that the arm will be all right in week
or So and now, happen what may. I
Intend TO be in at the DEATH"
Dufrayer gave me one of his steady,
long giances, but he did not shake his
head or attempt to oppose me.
On reaching Londen l left my COM
panions. who promised to call at my
house about 1 o'clock. and went
straight off to Monkhouse. He
dressed my arm and hand carefully,
and said that 1 had had a miraculous
escape.
1 then went home and waited anx-
iOusiy for the arrival of Dufrayer and
the police officers. They came soon
after the hour arranged, having OBJ
tanned the warrant for the arrest of
Nine. Koluohy. To my surprise I saw
that they were accompanied by
stranger. tall. weil-made girl of about
25 years of age. Tyler introduced her
20 Cd
ded, in a whisper, that we were all
right now. as we had secured her SER
vices.
1 glanced at her with sone curiosity.
She was a good-looking girl, with a
keen, clever face. Her gray eyes were
very bright, and all her features small
and well formed. but there was a GER
tain hardness about her lips which
struck me even at the first glance.
Those lips alone gave indication of her
character. for there was nothing else
in her appearance at all out of the COM
mon, and TO an ordinary person she
would appear simply as a bright WELL
set-up young girl, with high spirits and
a somewhat offhand manner. Her usual
expression was both frank and pleas
ant to listen TO.
Mr.. Tyler has already given me the
outline of the case" she said, turning

hope you are feeling better. Nine. Ko-
iuchy acted in a most dastardly way
towards you, and you escaped as by a
miracle. / need not say that madame
is very well known to me. 1t has been
the most earnest wish of my life for
several years now to be connected with
her capture. ] look upon such a cap
ture as the blue ribbon of my profess
sion. She shall not escape now"
As Miss Beringer spoke the hard
lines about her mouth grew still hard
er, and the womanly element in her
face faded out, giving place TO a strong,
masculine look of determination and
resolution.
