 Fennell Darkc snapped his notebook together conc1usively. ''I think the whole matter Is settled now" he said "tt lies between the red and the green tie, Ryan may have actually stolen Prince Ahmed but Senator WoGeburn has planned the whole affair. You must understand" he COZ uinrcd. that this man belongs to tie intellectual type of criminal, highly fertile in re- source and accomplished in ezpcdi- ent."
 He stood for moment absorbed in thought. 'I will go to my office now, ? he said at last. and prepare some questions and some psychological ap- u, T shall see Senator Wodeburn. and I think Miss O'Hara that can promise you that Prince Ahmed will be in your arms before night"
 Oh, 1 hope so, 1 hope SO" cried Rose fervently. and Willy, thinking of his Aunt Regina and his possibly nay probably, squashed luncheon, de voutly echoed his wish
 But what kind of questions will you put to him, Mir. Darke?" asked Rose curiously.
 That I will let you know later, he said, with his faint smile. "but in spite of himself. he will be forced to reveal all the details of this painful affair
 But" cried Rose anxiously, and staying him with one hand, you promise me that there shall be nc publicity about this matter"
 None whatever" he assured her with final bow, and then has tened away. while Willy and herself repaired to her sitting-room.

Now he crossed her palm so generousl that she forgot her grief for Ahmed and performed a series of dippin
 "curtsies," at the same time liftin
 her eye to heaven and calling dow such prodigal blessings upon his hea
 that he should ever after have bee
 immune from all the evils that
 malevolent fortune could invent. But Willy, deaf to her pleasin prophecies, ruthlessly cut her shor' and lost no time in laying out hi plans and impounding her assistance But Monsieur" in answer to hi orders, q have searched and searched as wiz fine toot' comb"
