Count Immeo started to reply,
then his feverish eyes, sweeping the
bridge, he saw those that might hear
and his lips closed. He whirled and

oned me to follow.
Twenty minutes later l stood in
locked room of hotel watching a
nervous man as he paced up and
down, his eyes set straight before him,
his lips grim pressed, his hands
clasped behind him. There was in
his features that indication that the
last straw needed to make the burden

His face seemed old and scared, his
manner was that of man who had

was all but, 1t held forth to me thous-
and conjectures, thousand surmises
each more wild and more varied than
the other.
Every word, every letter, was a
blazing question mark. Why?-
Why? ....
why should count come to Amer
lea, steal the child of a poor man and
pay gladly for it? Why should he
then seek escape across the sea and
bless the men who had aided him?
1T was almost certain that he
would not go to his estates in Immeo.
l must trail him, track him from
country to country. That night l
left for New York. In Liverpool I
found he had gone to London, in Lon
don I searched and struggled to at
last learn he had departed for Edin-
burgh. The child was with him. Then
l knew that he was leaping from city
to city even as rabbit leaps from
clump Of grass to clump of grass to
evade his pursuers. Edinburgh led to
Chantilly, Chantilly to Paris. There
for two weeks lost him. Then came
the clue which sent met to Berne.
1t was in the shadow of the snow
capped Alps upon little rustic
bridge which crossed a tumbling
mountain torrent that 1 found the
man that had chased so many thous-
and miles.
Deep set of eye, kindly of feature,
tall and aristocratic in appearance, he
was somewhat different than the man
whose description l had followed. He

fact that she was blind since birth
and begging of whomever she passed.
At last the dingy lights of Milton
street showed and she grasped more
tightly the hand of the little girl who
led her.
"'Be brave, honey!' she whispered,
and whatever happens, remember
that your every move is watched and
guarded. No one is going to hurt
you
That woman was myself; the child
was my daughter Our quest was to
find the man who would see in my
little girl the very child they needed
for my decoy. Dive after dive we en-
tered, and through lowered lights 1
searched the faces of the ones / saw
there. The hours went by, but moth
ing happened. We returned to our
home at midnight, tired and excite
ment worn, but with no more informa-
ton than when we had started And
the next day brought us a surprise.
Antonio Cassanelli had received no
threatening letters, no requests for
ransom. That night we started forth
again, with no better results Still the
mails remained quiet, still Antonio
heard nothing concerning the child. A
week went by and l was becoming
discouraged, disheartened, and was
plying the Italian section of the city
with my little girl for the last time
Antonio had given her up as dead. l
had almost given up the case as hope
less. Suddenly, however, as we start
ed to leave an ill-smelling saloon, I
tary exclamation. Two men were
sitting at table near by. At the ell
bow of one l discerned an envelope the
same in size and texture and color as
the one had found at the spot where
Rosita Cassannelli had been kidnapped
I noticed it bore writing and the
stamp of having come through the
mails. l pressed hard on the hand of
my little girl and urged her for
ward. With true instinct she went to-
ward the men, giving her begging
plea as she walked. They turned to
her with sheer and shook their
heads, but / did not care. Under a
fold of my dress l had swept the let
ter and held it with clutching fingers.
San hour later two Italians sneered
and shook their heads at the hundreds
of questions which were being shot
at them in my rooms at detective
headquarters. They knew nothing,
they said, and they could tell nothing.

massive shoulders. 1T is all the one
big grand mistake he added.
That's what am going to find
out about ! answered. Mr. Immeo,

to very aristocratic family and have
his watermarked stationery and all
that, but just the same he may be do

pocket money. l guess that that is
about all, Defeo. l think can handle
things alone from now on. Oh, by the
way l called, as the policeman start

woman who is led by little girl in
this neighborhood please walk the
other way. l have an idea she may
want to do her begging when there
are no policemen around
"Defeo looked at me and winked
solemnly. We had worked together
before.
THAT afternoon when l left the de-
tective headquarters for my home my
plans were all made. Too many times
had seen the efforts of the police to
catch those who demanded ransom
fail because they were working
against heads that were wiser than
theirs. I felt sure that should the
kidnapers return Rosita they would
not do so until they had sent a man
ahead with decoy child to determine
whether the coast was clear 1t was
this decoy that 1 planned to furnish,
and the child was to be my own little
girl
That night plodding, stumbling
woman, led by little child, made her
exit from the apartment ordinarily
inhabited by Alice Clement, and made
her way to the Milton street section
of Little Italy. She whined as she
walked along, calling attention 70 the
