chatting nearby. One OF them was
Blair. and the other Hastings.

rected. Hold him in solitary con-

That was all 1t was said and done
SO quickly that Howard. dazed, con-
fused and utterly unable to account
for anything. was led away without a
protest. Mr.. Grimm. musing gently
on the stupidity of mankind in gen
eral and the ease with which it is
possible to lead even a clever indi-
vidual into a trap. II the bait appeals
to greed. took a car and went up
town.
Some three hours later he walked
briskly along a narrow path strewn
with pine needles, which led tortu-
ously up to an old colonial farmhouse.
Outwardiy the place seemed to be de-
serted. The blinds, battered and
stripped OF paint by wind and rain.
we're al! closed and one corner of the
small veranda had crumbled away
from age and neglect. In the rear of
the house, rising from an old barn, a
thin pole with q cup-like attachment

open above the dense. odorous pines.

Mr.. Grimm noted these things as he
came along
He stepped up quietly on the YER
anda and had just extended one hand
to rap on the door when it was open
ed from within. and Miss Thorne
stood before him. He was not sur
prised; intuition had told him he
would meet her again. perhaps here In
hiding. A sudden quick tenderness
lighted the listless eyes. For an in
slant she stood staring, her face pallid
against the gloom of the hallway be-
yond. and she drew a long breath OF
relief as she pressed one hand to her
breast. The blue-gray eyes were
veiled by dropping lids. then she re-
covered herself and they opened into
his. In them he saw anxiety. appre-
hension, fear even.
Miss Thorne," he greeted, and he
bowed low over the white hand which
she impulsively thrust toward him.
Il knew some one was coming"
she stammered in a half whisper. Il
didn't know it was you: hadn't
known definitely until this instant
that you were safe from the explo-
sion am giad-glad. you under

stopped and fought back her emotions.
then went on: But you must not
come in; you must go away at once.

inquired Mr.. Grimm.
From the moment Mr.. Howard tel
