Fortunately for her plans, only three

but alert of motion and eye.
"Mr. Kennedy-Mr. Hunter-Mrs.
Leary-I want to introduce Professor
Noll. The professor is one of my regu-
lar boarders. This lady and these gen
tlemen are t%ransients; they'll be with
us Just a few days." said Rosalie lie
Grange. The two men nodded and fell
to their luncheon, of which they con-
sumed vast quantities. Mrs. Leary,
however, smiled upon him an expert

away upon it; and Mrs. Leary, with
all the ready tact of the experienced
police matron that she was, vaulted
to the pommel and rode with him. Ro-
sale had learned all she wanted to
know. Professor Noll would not trou-

The chimes of the Metropolitan
tower rang the hour of two. At the
first stroke, Rosalie, as n who finds
relief in action, ran down the base

Inspector Martin MCGEE, dressed in
plain clothes and carrying a small bag.
was waiting outside.
"All set?" he asked under his breath.
"Everything's ready" replied Rosa
lie as she led the way across the base

But Inspector MCGEE stopped her at
the stairway.
