ferent from the ordinary run of her
clients. The difference undoubtedly
had both puzzled and frightened her.
He might disabuse her of the notion
that he had anything to do with the

CHAPTER TX.
Number Three Forty-One.

NUMBER nFCS TOTIy-OHCs
When Orme was aroused by the
ringing of his telephone bell the next
morning and heard the clerks voice
saying over the wire, Eight o'clock,
sir" it seemed as If he had been
asleep but few minutes.
During breakfast he reviewed the
events of the preceding evening.
Strange and varied though they had
been, his thoughts chiefly turned to
the girl herself, and he shaped all his
plans with the idea of pleasing her.
The work he had set for himself was
to get the envelope and deliver it to
the girl. This plan involved the find
ing of the man who had escaped from
the tree.
The search was not so nearly blind
as it would have been if Orme had
not found that folded slip Of paper
in Maku's pocket. The address,
three forty-one North Parker street"
was unquestionably the destination at
which Maku had expected to meet
friends.
To North Parker street, Lnen, Urine
prepared to go. Much as he longed to
see the girl again, he was glad that
they were not to make this adventure
together, for the reputation of North
Parker street was unsavory.
Orme found his way readily enough.
There was not far to go, and he pre-
ferred to walk. But before he reached
his destination he remembered that he
had promised Alsatrante and Poritol
to meet them at his apartment at ten
o'clock.
His obligation to the two South
Americans seemed slight, now that
the bill had passed from his hands
and that he knew the nature of Pori-
tolls actions. Nevertheless. he was a

paused at the door, however, to give
the situation final analysis. Maku
had lost something. After hunting
for it vainly he had gone to the city
directory for information which ap-
peared to satisfy him. Then what he
lost must have been an address. How
would he have been likely to lose It?
Orme's fatigue was so great that he
repeated the question to himself sew
eral times without seeing any mean
ing in it. He forced his tired brain
back to the first statement. Maku
had lost something. Yes, he had lost
something. What was it he had lost?
Oh, yes, paper.
1t was futile. His brain refused to
work.
Maku had lost paper. A paper?
"Ah!" Orme was awake now.
How stupid" he exclaimed.
For he had entirely forgotten the
paper which he had taken from the
pocket of the unconscious Maku,, there
on the campus! He had thrust it
into his pocket without looking at it,
and in the excitement Of his later adj
ventures it had passed utterly from
his memory
Another moment and he had the
paper in his hand. His fingers shook
as he unfolded it, and he felt angry at
his weakness. Yes, there it was-the
address-written in an uniformed hand.
If he had only thought of the paper
before, he would have been saved a
deal of trouble-would have had more
sleep. He read it over several times
"Three forty-one North Parker street.
so that he would remember it if the
paper should be lost.
I'm glad Maku didn't write it in
Japanesei" he exclaimed.

SYNOPSIS.

At the expense Of soiled hat Robert
orme saves from arrest a girl in a black
touring car who has caused a traffic jam
IN State street. He buys a new hat and
IS given in change a five dollar bill with:
Remember the person you pay this to-"
written on it. A second time he helps the
lady in the black car, and learns that In
mutual friends, but gains no further hint
Df her identity. He discovers another in
scription on the marked BILL which, in a
futile attempt to decipher it, he copies
and places the copy in a drawer in his
apartment. Senior Poritol South Ameri-
gan, calls. and claims the marked bill.
Drme refuses, and a fight ensues in
which Poritol is overcome. He calls in
Senior AIcatrante, minister from his coun-
try, to vouch for him. Orme still refuses
TO give up the bill Orme goes for a walk
Eescues him. Returning to his rooms
Orme is attacked by two Japs who eff
feet a forcible exchange Of the marked
bill for another. Orme finds the girl Of
the black car waiting for him. She also
wants the bill. Orme tells his story She
recognizes one of the Japs as her fathers
the bill is the key to the hiding place of
important papers stolen from her father
Both Japs and South Americans want the
papers. Orme and the Girl start out in
the black car in quest of the papers. In
the university grounds in Evanston the
hiding place is located. Maku and an
other Jap are there. Orme fells Maku
and the other Jap escapes. Orme finds in
MalIU's pocket a folded slip of paper. He
takes the girl, whose name is still I'M
known to him. to the home Of friend in
Evanston. Returning to the university
grounds Orme gets in conversation with a
guard at the life-saving station. They
hear motor boat in trouble in the dark
ness on the lake They find the crippled
boat In it are the Jap with the papers
and Girl" She jumps into Orme's boat,
put the Jap eludes pursuit Girl, ex-
plains her presence in the boat. Orme
boards car for the city and finds Maku
on it and trails him in hope of finding
the Jap who has the papers.

surprise that the marked bill, together
with the few dollars in change he had
received after his purchase in the
shop below, was all that he. now had
left in his pocket. He remembered
that he had intended to draw on his
funds that morning. His departure
from New York had been hurried, and
he had come away with little ready
cash.
Madam Ala slipped the bill into her
bosom and waited. She knew well
enough that her visitor had some de-
mand to make.
'Now," said Orme, Il am going to
use your fire escape for a little while"
The woman nodded.

Absolutely straight" said Orme.
"All you have TO do is to leave your
window open and keep quiet"
"You can count on me-" she said.
Perhaps you know all about the place
down there, but If you don't, I'll tell
you that the fire escape leads into his
reception room.

man of his word, and he hurried back
to the Pere Marquette for the hour
was close to ten. He was Influenced
to some extent by the thought that
Poritol and Alcatrante, on learning
how he had been robbed of the bill,
might unwittingly give him a further
clue.
No one had called for him. He
waited till ten minutes past the hour
filled his part Of the bargain with
them. Though he did not understand
it, he attached no especial significance
to their failure to appear.
Once again he went to North Parker
street. Three forty-one proved to be
notion shop. Through the win
dow he saw stout woman reading a
newspaper behind the counter. When
he entered she laid the paper aside
and arose languidly, as though Gus
toners were rather nuisance than a
blessing. She was forty, but not fair.
Orme asked to see a set of studs.
She drew a box from show case and
spread the assortment before him.
He selected a set and paid her, offer
ing ten-dollar bill. She turned to
cash register and made change
which included a five-dolIar bill.
Orme could hardly believe his eyes.
The bill which she placed in his hand
bore the written words: Remember
person you pay this to-"
He turned it over. In the corner
was a familiar set of authorizations.
There was no doubt about it. The
bill was the same which had been
taken from him, and which he had last
seen in the possession Of Maku.
What an insistent piece Of green pa
per that marked bill was! 1t had
started him on this remarkable series
of adventures. 1t had introduced ex-
citable little Poritol and the suave
Alcatrante to his apartment It had
made him the victim of the attack by
the two Japanese. It had brought
the girl into his life. And now it
came again into his possession just
at the moment to prove that he was
on the right track In his search for
Maku and the man who had the pa
pers. The queerest coincidence was
that the bill would never have come
into his possession at all had it not
been for his first meeting with the
girl-who at that very time was her
self searching for 1t. The rubbing Of
his hat against the wheel of her car
ON so little thing as that had hinged
the events followed.
This is strange" Orma addressed
the woman.
TT doesn't hurt it any," said the
woman, indifferently.
II know that. But it's curious
thing just the same"
The woman raised her shoulders
slightly, and began to put away the
stock she had taken out for Orme's
benefit.
'Who paid this to you?" persisted
Orme.
"How should I remember? I can't
keep track of all the persons that
come in the store during the day"
But / should think that anything
so queer as this" He saw that he
could get nothing from her except by
annoying her.
The woman glared. What you a
botherin' about? Why don't you leave
well enough alone?"
Orme smiled. "Tell me one thing"
he said, "do you know Japanese that
lives hereabouts?"
ooh" said the woman. $50 you're
one Of the gentlemen he was expectin'.
