must do something, no matter how fu tile. to lull his impatience, rang . bell on bis desk.
 Send for Grimaldi again." he said to the doorman.
 "Grimalei" he greeted the scholar of the Italian squad, what did this Mrs. Le Grange say to you when she let you go-and just when was itg"
 It was night before last" replied Grimaldi. I'd met her for a report and told her that Estriila-or Perez had an engagement with his tailor to try on some clothes for two-thirty yes. : terday afternoon. She told me then that she had finished with me. and was to report back to headquarters- which I did yesterday"
 His rooms-Estrilla's- being watched in case he returns?'
 'Yes. We've got some one at every place where he's likely to appear"
 "All right Thatn do."
 Then the Inspector fell to pacing the floor and to meditating. He durst not leave his office. The search was covered at every point where the miss. ing criminal or the missing Rosalie Le Grange might be expected to appear He must stay in his office until-oh. why had he trusted Rosalie Le Grange to arrest a desperate criminal alone? One obvious suspicion did not occur to him; never for a moment did he distrust Rosalie.
 She had gone out to make the ar rest single-handed, for some good req son of her own.
 She had failed, and dreaded to come back without her man. she had been delayed and would appear with him yet; she had yentured too much and something had happened to her. Here, Inspector McGee smote a fist into an open palm and swore under his breath. That consideration, and not the failure of the department to put the finishing touch on a big case, was the thing which haunted him now, made him unable to rest his body or to quiet his mind
 The last eighteen hours had been one long secret hunt for Juan Perez alias Estrilla, and for Rosalie Le Grange. When, after the detectives finished with Miss Estrilla-Senorita sPereZ-he found Rosalie Le Grange mysteriously gone, he waited for a time at the house. Rosalie made no sign. Presently, Miss Harding and Miss Jones came home to dinner, and afterward Professor Noll McGee de- tained them all Seven o'clock passed; and the other three boarders failed, like the lsndlady, to appear. They were Mir. North. Mrs Hanska, and Miss Lane-all involved in the Hanska case. When he noted this suspicious circumstance. he removed Miss Es- trilla to a private room in the crimi- nal ward at Belleyue. Booked as Mar gaTet Perez, she. attracted DO great at- tention from the reporters; especially since a surgeon, instructed in advance, gave out a hint that she was merely a witness in a counterfeiting case. Then began an all-night search-for Estrilla first, for Rosalie next, and, last of all for North and the two women.
 Late that night, Inspector McGee, clutching at every possibility, visited Lawrence Wade in his cell at the Tombs and questioned him. The an- Enouncemeut that Mrs. Hanska had dis appeared seemed to disturb him more than any device for breaking silence l that the police had ever used; but still he maintained his attitude of de- | liant and somewhat insolent calm. Un- shaken, he stood all the questioning: and McGee, aware now of his inno- cence, had not the heart to crowd him to the wall
 So the night had worn away; and SO the morning. And Rosalie Le Grange made no sign. How long-how long? He turned to ring for a detective. | The doorman entered.
 Mrs. Le Grange to see you" he said
 For the first time in his life of brute , force, Martin McGee felt his phys ical powers crumbling and waning , within him. He sat down at his desk. Rosalie Le Grange had come That meant present success and ultimate triumph; for Rosaiie Le Grange had never failed him yet Doubtless she ] had achieved another of her miracles possibly Juan Perez alias EstriIla was just behind her.
 Show her in--and I'm engaged , don't disturb me for anything I ; tell you"
 He started as she stood for a mo- ' ment facing him. Dead of eye, dead . of expression, dead of tint-she looked again all her age. She moved toward i, him at a pace which showed effort with every step.
 Well" he cried. ''welli We've had a chase for you. Geel couldn't think ,. what had happenedl" His professional 4 concerns rushed into his mind with the departure of his greater anxiety. Where is he? Did you get him7" he asked
 s She ignored the chair which he ] pushed toward her. And she simply l shook her head
 'Whatl" exclaimed Martin McGee. : What That comes of letting you try to get him alone. What damn il fool-did he get away from you?"
