was found at dusk Sunday in the
woods near her home.
Thomas Williams, known in the
neighborhood as BLACK Diamond" a

day on which Marie Disappeared. A
warrant was issued for him Sunday and
he was arrested in his room and admit

Thursday, and the appearance OF the
room bore him out. His suspenders
were stained with what looked like
blood and = towel was found Oh which
bloody hands seemed to have been
wiped.
The child was small 1or her years
and not strong, but seems to have
fought desperately with her assailant.
The broken sticks and trampled ground
around her showed that, as did her in
juries. The blue ribbon she were II
her hair had been tied tightly about
her throat. She mad also been beaten
on the forehead with some blunt In
strument. The leaves under her face
were frozen with the blood.
In her struggles she had been grasp
ed by the hand with such force that
the gold ring she wore had been flat
tened into the flesh. Her arms were
badly scratched and there was a wound
In the ,cartilege Of her nose. which sur

THE information means nothing to
you, though obviously it means a
great deal to my young friend, here.
May | ask what right you have to
deny this request?"
What right" Orme's eyes mar
rowed "My right is that l have the
bill and the information, and 1 intend
to understand the situation better be-
fore l give the information TO anyone
else
But you recognized Senior Pori-

claimed the minister.
"On the face of it, yes. He did not

Poritol opened his mouth to speak,

Orme," he said. 1--WE will call tomor-
row morning. Is ten o'clock too
early?"
Not at ALL" said Orme. Doubt
less 1 shall be able to satisfy you l

terry in which he had so suddenly be-
come a factor. Unquestionably the
five-dollar bill held the key to some
serious problem.
Surely Alcatrante had not come
merely as the friend of Poritol, for
the difference in the station of the
two South Americans was marked.
Poritol was a cheap characterize

but vulgar and unconvincing
Alcatrante, on the other hand, was
a name to make statesmen knit their
brows. A smooth trouble-maker, he
had set Europe by the ears in the
matter Of unsettled South American
loans, dexterously appealing to the

every time his country was threatened
by French or German or British
blockade. But his mind was of no
small caliber. He could hold his own
not only at his own game of interna-
tional chess, but in the cultured dis
cussion Of polite topics. Orme knew
of him as a clever after-dinner speak
er, a man who could, when he so de-
sired, please greatly by his personal
charm.
No, Alcatrante was no friend of
Poritol's; nor was it likely that, as
protector of the interests of his coun-
trymen, he would go so far as to ac-
company them on their errands I'M
less much was at stake Perhaps
Poritol was Alcatrantes tool and had
bungled some important commission.
1t occurred to Orme that the secret of
the bill might be connected with the
negotiation of a big business conces-

the secret of the bill did not right
fully belong to Poritol. If the bill
had been in his possession, he should
have been able to copy the abbrevia-
ted message Indeed, the lies that he
told we're all against the notion of
placing any confidence in him. The
two South Americans were altogether
too eager.
Orme decided to go for walk He
could think better in the open air. He
took up his hat and cane and descend
