almost as badly as Florence, but her desire

been written against this possibility
Jones became cool, now that he knew just
what danger to face. The Queen hotel meant
nothing. Florence would not be taken there.
He called up Norton. 1t took all the buffers
patience, however, as it required seven differ
ent calls to locate the reporter.
Meantime the taxicab containing Florence
and Susan spun madly toward the water
front. Here the two were separated by an
effective threat. Florence recognized the man
Vroon and knew that to plead for mercy
would be waste of time. She permitted
herself to be led to waiting launch. Always
when she disobeyed Jones something like this

struck at her heart, and all thought Of her
personal safety became as nothing. For the
present she knew that she was in no actual
physical danger. .Sne was merely to be held
as hostage. Would Susan have mentality
enough to tell Jones where the taxicab had
stopped? She doubted, In an emergency
Susan had proved herself nonentity, bun

deductions were happily wrong. When the
chauffeur peremptorily deposited Susan on the

she ran hot-foot to the nearest telephone and

sent a very concise message home. Susan
was becoming accimated to this strange, ex-
citing existence
Norton arrived in due time, and he and
Jones were mapping out plan when Susan's
message came.
"Good grill" said Jones. She's learning.
Can you handle this alone, Nortonf They
want me out Of the house again, for believe
they were after me as we'll as Florence Half

"Trust mer' cried Norton.
And he ran out to his auto It was Wild

but he went on unmindful. Tney could take

cared. So they had got her? They could

He went about his work the same as of old,
interviewing, playing detective, fattening his

he had vague dreams of writing a play,

first chapter of novel; but that has nothing
to do with this history
Already, then. The chess are once more on
the board and it is the move oil the Black

The day was rather cloudy. Jones viewed
the sky YEARLY. He could hear Florence play
ing rather a cheerless nocturne by Chopin.
Fourteen weeks ago this warfare had begun
and all he had accomplished he and those
with him, was the death or incarceration of
few inconsequent members of the Black Hun

to ward off. He had always been on the de-
fensive; and a defensive fighter may last a
long while, but he seldom wins; and the but
Ter knew that they must win or go down in
bitter defeat There was no half way route to
the end; there could be no draw. It all
reminded him of thunderbolts; one man knew
where they were going to strike.
The telephone rang; at the same moment
Florence left the piano. She stopped at the
threshold.
