The door of Miss Farlow's will

piled Susan. with love in her eyes
This interesting conversation was
interrupted by the advent of Norton.
He was always dropping in during
the late afternoon hours. Florence
liked him for two reasons. One was
that Jones trusted him to a certain
extent and the other was that .
that she liked him. She finish

the wind in that quarter? She could
have laughed. Here was her revenge
against this meddler who took no
particular notice of her while Flor
eHce was in the room. She would
encourage him, poor ~grubbing news
paper writer. with his beggarly
pittance. What chance had he of
marrying this girl with millions
within reach of her hand?
The peculiar thing about this was
that Norton was entertaining the
same thought at the same time; what
earthly chance had he?
In the second story window OF the
house owe the way there was a wor-
ried man. But when his glasses
brought in range the true contents of
the box he laughed sardonically.
This watching is getting my goat.

shadow He wiped the lenses of his
opera glasses and proceeded to roll
a cigaret.
When the princess and Norton
went away Jones stole quietly up to
florence's o and threw up the
curtain. Two round points of light
flashed from the watchers window,
but the saturine smile on Jones' lips
was not observed. He went to the
door, opened it cautiously, a hand to
his ear.
Then he closed the door, turned back
the rug and removed a section of the
flooring. Out If this cavity he raised
a box. There was lettering on the
lid; in fact, the name of its owner,
Stanley Hargreave. Jones replaced
the flooring. tucked the box under
his arm and made his exit.
The man lounging in the shadow
heard a faint whistle. 1t was the
signal agreed upon. The man FELTON,
ran across the street and boldly
rang the bell. 1t was only then that
Florence missed the ever present
butler. She hesitated, then sent
Susan to the door.
Il must see Mr.. Jones upon vitality
important business"
He has gone out" said Susan,
and very sensibly closed the door be-
fore Felton's foot succeeded in get
ting inside.
Ii was time to act. He ran around
to the rear. The ladder convinced
him that Jones had tricked him. He
was wild with rage. He was over
the wall in an instant. Away down
the back street his eye discovered
his man in full flight. He gave
chase. AS he came TO the first cor
ner he was nearly knocked over by
a mar coming the other way.
who are you humping into?"
growled FELTON,.
Not so fast, Felton,"
Who the devil are your"
The stranger made a sign which
FELTON, instantly recognized.
Quick What has ~happened?"
Jones has the million and is max
ing his getaway. See him hiking to-
ward the water 'front.'"
The two men began to run.
Then followed a thrilling chase.
Jones engaged a motorboat and II
was speeding when the W.
pursuers arrived. They we're not
laggard. There was another boat
and they made for 1t.
"A hundred If you overtake that
boat" said Felton's strange com
panion.
FELTON, eyed him thoughtfully.
There was something familiar about
that voice.
Great plumes of water shot up in
to the air. 1t did not prove a short
race by any a 1t took half an
hour for the p%ursurer to overhaul the
