ter prepared to proceed. and he oblig-
ingly stepped inside out OF the way.
AS he did so his eyes fell on the broken
door lock.
How'd that lock get broken7" His
voice rang out suddenly like a pistol
shot and he looked up quickly at the
Princess. She inclined her head as II

broken, which was oVeractIng the
part.

attention to it." she said calmly. 1T
was broken when l came here"
''When-may I ask did you come
here?"
Certainly. Yesterday afternoon"
"Oh, l see, beg your pardon" he
said slowly, and backed out He did
not know why, but he did not entirely
believe the frank and self possessed
young woman. He walked down to a
turn of the corridor, resolving to keep
close eye on the apartment until it
was vacated. In this walk he again
passed the trunk, but it suggested
nothing. An escape in a trunk has
become so common in fact and in fic-
ton that no up-to-date detective be
lieves any one would try It again. So
it is still one of the best means, just
as. from the other angle, it is a fact
that occasionally in spite of comic
artists and the like, some one still buys
a gold brick.
Thus, IN a manner unheroic, by
freight elevator and van with divers
bumps and bruises and swear words,
the good knight Warren Of Jarvis set
forth to the Spanish Main and the
stored hills Of Aragon.
FASTING labels on trunks, like press
ing the elevator button in the average
office building, is more an act in evil
dence of good faith than in eXpecta-
ton of results Having up to this time
Travelled only with a trunk and never
in one, Warren Jarvis did not realize
this until fairly embarked on his rough
passage from the Hotel Vanderbilt to
the promenade deck suite on the Lust
tania
For days afterward the memory of
that two-mile voyage rode him like a
nightmare. SO did the divers aches,
wrenches and bruises that he acquired
by the way. And, finally, when the
journey was over and he could have
time to decide whether he was one
large pain or had been broken up into
several thousand small agonies. the
trunk was deposited in the parIor Of
the Princess suite with the label This
side up" carefully pressed against the
carpet.

of her champion. arrived at the state

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

The scene of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel, New York
City. The Princess Maria Theresa
of Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound Of pistol
shots. She hears man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall, good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
his left. He begs the Princess to
hide him. She. moved by some in
describable impulse, decides that
she will. She directs him TO an
inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door she tells him
she is all right and sends him
away. The young man, who is
Warren Jarvis, of Kentucky, comes
out of his hiding place, and the
Princess, for the first time, notices
his wound. She is moved to sym
pathy and showers him with Ques-
tons as to what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
teud between his family and an
other named Markham He says
he left Kentucky to avoid the feud-
lists, but encountered one of them
in the hotel, which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
will help him, and then asks the
stranger question, Are you afraid
of ghosts?" Jarvis laughs, but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance, and creates him
her ''vassal." Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day. First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, a negro. The servant is in
struCted to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins to aues-
ton the Princess about herself.
Now go on with the story.

CHAPTER Xiv.

a : soon as Mildred had ordered
n Steve to bring the big car she
hurried to her room and hasti-
" changed her clothes, putting on
the khaki suit she wore when fishing
She was very much excited. But be
fore leaving the room she glanced,
womanlike, in her mirror. Then,
hardly knowing what she was doing
she picked up a little handbag such
as women take when they go shop
ping, containing a handkerchief, q
powder rag, a small mirror and a
small purse. She rushed on the porch
and called Elmer.
Elmer" she said hurrfedly Tn
going to find Gordon can't stand
the suspense any longer. Come II
you want to; II you don't, I'm going
alone"
"Of course. I'm going, too" ex-
claimed the boy. That's Just like a
girl Didn't I propose the scheme"
We'll, hurry now. and get my rifle
and revolver" cried Mildred.
THAT little revolver Of yours is no
good" remarked Elmer You can
take # If you want to. I'm going to
get dads big one" And off he went.
In a few minutes Steve appeared
with the car and Mildred and Elmer
climbed in. Mildred with her hand
bag and revolver and Elmer with his
fathers six-shooter.

Mildred ?" asked Steve.
I'VE are going after Mr.. Gordon,
Steve" replied Mildred, 80 hurry,
please"
"Lordomassy!" exclaimed the col
ored boy. He turned the car quickly
and they were soon bowling along the
main road.

Keep Quiet"

A0cP ELucb'
Keep quiet!" Kissed Elmer. There's
another man there and he'il see us"
Mildred looked again and saw a man
looking on the ground fifteen or TWEEN
ty feet in front of Gordon.
What shall we do, what shall we
dor was all she could whisper.
There was a long silence. Finally
Elmer said:
Gee, If I only had a mirror could
sneak down behind that bush and at
tract his attention"
Why, I have a little mirror" ex-
claimed Mildred, reaching for her
handbag again. She produced the ar
ticle and handed it to the boy.
You crawl behind that tree and
wait there" whispered Elmer. A mo
ment later he began worminE his way
toward the bush he had indicated
This brought him to within less thar
$50 feet Of where Gordon was sit
ting. Carefully getting his range, he
flashed streak Of sunlight across the
shaded page OF Gordon's newspaper
and repeated the operation imme-
diately.
Gordon cautiously glanced over his
shoulder He saw little Elmer peer
ing from behind bush and beyond
the lad he saw a white handkerchief
fiutter. Mildred could not resist the
temptation to signal. Gordon waved
an answering sign and then arose He
walked to the log cabin, followed by
