CHAPTER XVII.
Setting Traps for Norton.

SSttiH9 i'aHP W. wv sS"'
The Black Hundred possessed three
separate council chambers, always in
preparation. Hence, when the one In
use was burned down they transferred
their conferences to the second coun-
Gil chamber appointed identically the
same as the first. AS inferred, the or
ganization owned considerable wealth,
and they leased the buildings in which
they had their council chambers.
leased them for a number of years,
and refurnished them secretly with
trap floors, doors and panels and all
that apparatus so necessary to men
who are sometimes compelled to make
a quick getaway.
When the Atlantic City attempt was
turned into fiasco by Norton's timely
arrival Braine determined once more
to rid himself of this meddling re-
porter He knew too much, in the
first place, and in the second place
Braine wanted to learn whether the
reporter bore a charmed life or was
just ordinarily lucky. He would at
tempt nothing delicate, requiring
fnesse. He would simply waylay Nor
ton and make a commonplace end
of him. He would disappear, this re-
porter, that would be all; and when
they found him he might or might
not be recognizable.
So Braine called a conference and
he and his fellow rogues went over a
number of eXpedients and finally
agreed that the best thing to do would
be to send a man to the newspaper,
ostensibly as reporter looking for
a situation. With this excuse he would
be able to hang around the city room
for three or four days. The idea back
of this was to waylay Norton on his
way to some assignment which TOOK
him to the suburbs.
All this was arranged down to the
smallest detail; and a man whom they
were quite certain Norton had moi
yet seen was selected to play the
part. He had been reporter once
more's the pity; SO there was no doub
of his being able to handle his enc
OF Lne game.
81 want Norton, want him badly,
declared Braine, "and woe to you i
you let booze play in between you ant
the object of this move"
The man selected to act the re
porter hung his head. Whisky ha'
been the origin Of his fall from hon
est living, and he was not so cal
loused as not to feel the sting G
remorse at times.

There was left for Jones nothing
else but to return home or follow
when he came out. AS this night he
knew Florence to be exceptionally well
guarded, both within and without the
house, he decided to wait and follow
the spy.
When Braine received the message
he was pleased. Norton's assignment
fitted his purpose like glove. Before
midnight he would have Mr. Meddling
Reporter where he would bother no
one for some time-if he proved tract
able. If not, he would never bother
any one again. Braine gave his or
ders tersely. Unless Norton met with
unforeseen delay, nothing could pre-
vent his capture.
When Norton arrived at the Hen
derson place, a footman informed him
from the veranda that General Hen
derson was at 40 Elm street for the
evening, and it would be wise to call
there Jim nodded his thanks and set
off in haste for 40 Elm street. The
footman did not enter the house, but
among the adjacent shrubbery. His
mission was over with.
The house in Elm street was Braine's
suburban establishment. He went
there occasionally to hibernate, as 1t
were, to grow new skin when close
pressed. The caretaker was man
rightly called Samson. He was
bruiser of the bouncer type.
1t was fast work for Braine to get
out there. II the man disguised as q
footman played his cards badly Brains
would have all his trouble for moth.
ing. He disguised himself with that
internal cleverness which had long
since made him terror to the police,
who were looking for ten different
! men instead of one. He knew that
Norton would understand instantly
that he was not the general; but on
the other hand he would not know
that he was addressing Braine.
So the arch-conspirator waited; and
so Norton arrived and was ushered
into the room. A single glance was
enough to satisfy the reporter always
keen eyed and observant.
81 wish to see General Henderson"
/ he said politely.
General Henderson is doubtless at
his own house."
"Ah!"
Don't be alarmed yet" said
Braine smoothly.
/ 81 am not alarmed" replied Norton.
Il am only chagrined. Since General
Henderson is not to be found here
! must be excused"
Il will excuse you presently"
"Ah! / begin to see."
Indeed" Knocked Braine.

discovered was not the general"
