set BY the snarers. The maid re-
turned to the sewing room, while
Florence coddled her companion and
made much Of her.
Jones was suspicious, but dig IN
his mind as he would be could find
no earthly reason for this suspicion
save that this attribute was now in
stinctive, that it was always near the
top. If Susan was i'll she must be
given good care; there was no getting
around this fact. Later, he telephoned
several prominent physicians. The
strange doctor was recommended as
good ordinary practitioner and in
good standing; and Sc Jones dismissed
his suspicious as having no hook to
hang them on.
His hair would have ttnsled at the
roots, however, had he known that
this same physician was one OF the
two who had signed the document
which had accredited Florence With
insanity and had al but succeeded
n making q supposition q fact Nor
was Jones aware Of the fact that the
telephone wire had been tapped re-
Gently. So when he finally concluded
to permit Florence to accompany Su-
san to Atlantic City he telephoned to
the detective agency to send up a
trusty man, who was shadowed from
the moment he entered the Hargreare
home till he started for the railway
station. He became lost In the shut
fe and was not heard from till weeks

Susan began to pick up. as they say,
the day after the arrival at Atlantic
City, due, doubtless, to the cessation
OF the poison she had been taking
unawares. The two young women be-
gan to enjoy life for the first time
since they had left Miss Farlows.
They were up with the sun every day
and went to bed tired but happy. No
one bothered them r some stray re-
porter encountered their signatures on
the hotel register, he saw nothing to
excite his reportorial senses. All this,
Of course, was due to Norton's policy
Of keeping the affair out Of the pa
pers.
Following Jones orders, they made
friends with none. Those about the
hotel especially the young men
when they made any advances were
politely snubbed. Every night Flor.

to report what had taken place dur
ing the DAY, and he was left to judge
for himself If there was anything to
arouse his suspicious. He, Of course,
believed the two were covertly guard
ed by the detective he had sent after
them.
When Braine called up Olga he
found his doctor there.
well, what's the news?' he asked.

how the young LADY is progressing"
said the doctor, who was really a first
rate surgeon and who had performed
q number Of skilled operations upon
various members Of the Black Hun
dred anent their encounters with the
police. "1ve got Miss Florence where
you want her. It's up to you now"
"She ought to be separated from her
companion. We have left them alone
for whole week, so Jones will not
worry particularly. A mighty curious
thing has turned up. Before Rar-
greave's disappearance not a dozen
persons could recollect what Jones
looked like. He was rarely ever IN
sight. What do you suppose that
signides?"
Don't ask me- shrugged the man
Of medicine. Il shouldn't worry over
Jones'"
"But we can't stir the old fool.
We can't get him out Of that house.
I've tried to get that maid to put g
