About this time-that is to say.
about the time the Black Hundred
was stretching out it's powerful secret
arms toward Norton-there arrived
in New York City a parsonage. This
was the Princess Parlova.
q fabulously rich Polish Russian.
She leased a fine house near Central
Park and set about to conquer social
New York. This vas not very dim
cult, for her title was perfectly genu-
inc and she moved in the most ex-
elusive diplomatic circles in Europe,
which. as everybody knows. is the
most brilliant in the world. When
the new home was completely deco
rated she gave an elaborate dinner,
and that attracted the newspapers.
They began to talk about her high
ness, printed portraits OF her. and
devoted a page occasionly in the Sun
day editions. she became something
of a rage. One morning IL was an
nouneed that the Princess Parlova
would give a masked ball to formal
ly open her home to society; and 1t
was this notice that first brought the
Princess Parlova under Braine's eyes.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING
CHAPTERS.

Stanley Hargreave, millionaire,
after a miraculous escape from the
den of the gang of brilliant thieves
known as the Black Hundred, lives
the life Of a recluse for eighteen
years. Hargreave one night enters
a Broadway restaurant and there
comes face TO face with the gangs
leader, Braine.
After the meeting, during which
neither man apparently recognizes
the other, Hargreave hurries to his
magnificent Riverdale home and lays
plans for making his escape from the
country. He writes a letter to the
girls school In New Jersey where
eighteen years before he had
mysteriously left on the doorstep his
baby daughter. Florence Gray. He
also pays a visit to the hangar of u
daredevil aviator.
Braine and members of his band
surround Hargreave's home at night,
but as they enter the house the
watchers outsiee see a balloon leave
the roof. The safe Is found empty

known 10 have drawn that day gone.
Then some one announced the bal
boon had been punctured and drop

Florence arrives from the girls
school. Princess Olga, Braine's COM
panion, visits and claims e be o rela-
tive. Two bogus detectives call, but
their plot is foiled by Norton, . news
paper man..
By brfbing the captain OF the ORR
ent Norton lays . trap for Braine and
his gang. Princess Olga also visits
the Orient's captain and she easily
falls into the reporters snare. The
plan proves abortive through Braine's
good luck and only hirelings fall into
the hands Of the police.
After failing In their attempt, the
Black Numbered trap Florence.
They ask her for money. but she
escapes, again foiling them.
Norton and the countess call on
Florence the nex day, once more

flooring, and from a cavity takes n

Black Hundred who have been watch

waterfront. A thrilling ace in motor

into the sea and with his automatic
sets fire 10 the pursuing boat.

both go along and are fortunately oa

Without a word Jones staggered on

There was always hot water. and

now fully alive. He could not get 1t
out of his head that some one in the
house had drugged him.
The events which followed were
to both Jones and Norton something
like a series of nightmares. In the
new home of the Princess Parlova q
bomb exploded and fire followed the
explosion. From pleasure TO error
is only a step. The widest confusion
imaginable ensued. Most of the
guests were of the opinion that some
anarchist had attempted to blow ur
the house of the rich Pole. Jones
and Norton arrived just as the smoke
began to pour out from the windows.
A crowd had already collected.
Then Jim overheard a woman
masquerader say: THE fool made
the bomb too strong. She is in the
room on the second floor. The game
Is up If she suffocates-" The
voice trailed off and the woman be-
came lost in the crowd. But 1t was
enough for the reporter. who pushed
his way roughly through the excited
masqueraders and entered the house.
The rescue was one of the most ex-
citing to be found in the newspaper
files of the day.
So Braine In his effort to scare
everybody from the house had over
reached himself once more.
