SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
..-.a.- CHAPTERS

Stanley Hargreave, millionaire, af-
ter 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. Har-
greave accidentally meets Braine,
Ieadr of the Black Hundred. Know
ing Braine will try to get him, he es-
capes from his own home by balloon.
Before escaping he writes a letter to
the girls school where eighteen years
before he mysteriOusly left on tn door
step his daughter, Florence Gray.
That day Hargreave also draws ST.
600. 900 from the bank, but it is re-
ported that this dropped into the sea
when the balloon he escaped in was
punctured.
The day following Hargreave's
thrilling escape, his daughter arrives
from the girls school and is escorted
to her fathers home by Jones, the but
Ter. Immediately Braine and the Graf
ty and beautiful Countess Olga, as
sisted by the Black Hundred lay plans
to make the girl captive and force
her father from his hiding place or
secure the missing million. The cOun-
tess calls at the Hargreave home and
wins the confidence of the girl while
two spurious detectives arrive and or
der Florence to accompany them to
headquarters. The plot is fooled by
James Norton, newspaper reporter,
who recognizes the detectives as fakes
Norton at once sets about to lay a
trap and reveal the identity of Har-
greave's enemies. He visits the sea
captain who picked up the wrecked
balloon and one of its occupants. He
brides the captain and the manager of
water front warehouse to tell all in
quirers that the man picked up car
ried packet which he left in the ware
house safe. Countess Olga calls on
the captain and is told the story. That
night gang of gunner hired by
Braine are thwarted in an attempt to
raid the ware house by the police lying
in wait. Braine has narrow escape
and barely avoids Norton's cleverly
laid trap.
Deceived by note purp0rted to be
from her father. Florence steals away
from home and is trapped by the
Black Hundred in an isolated house
where one of the conspiratOrs posing
as her father begs her to reveal the
hiding place of the million as rans
som for his life. The girl, realizing
that she has been duped, seizes the
lamp, dashes it to the floor, and es-
canes from the building and is res
cued by Jones who arrives in the Har-
greave automobile.

"Gone!"
Jones kept saying to himself that he
must strive to be calm, to think, think
Despite all his warnings, the warnings

to arrange these abductions.
How had they succeeded in doing 1t
No one had entered the house that day
without his being present There had
been no telephone call he had not
heard the gist of. nor any letters he
had not first glanced over How had
they done It? Suddenly into his mind
flashed the remembrance of the candle
light under Florence's door the night
before. In dozen bounds he was in
her room; searching drawers, paper
boxes, baskets. He found nothing. He
returned in despair to Susan, who,
during all this turmoil, had sat as IL
frozen in her chair.
Speak" he cried. For Gods sake,
say something, think something! Those
devils are likely to torture her. hurt
her!" He leaned against the wall, his
head on his arm.
When he turned again he was calm.
He walked with bent head toward the
door, opened it and stood upon the
threshold for a space. Across the
street shadow stirred, but Jones did
not see it. His gaze was attracted by
something which shone dimly white on
the walk just beyond the steps. He
ran to it. A crumpled letter, unad-
dressed. He carried it back to the
house, smoothed it out and read its
contents. Florence in her haste had
dropped the letter.
He clutched at his hat, put it on and
ran to Susan.
"Here!" he cried, holding out an au-
tomato. eff anyone comes in that you
don't know, shoot! Don't ask ques-
tons, shoot!'
I'm afraid" She breathed with DIFF
ficulty.
"Afraid?" he reared at her. He put
the weapon in her hand. It slipped
and thudded to the floor He stopped
for 1t and slammed 1t into her lap
You love your life and honor. You'll

Young April, pale and misty-eyed,
Out OF the orchard came,
Her cloudy drsperies drifted wide,
She pushed with tender hands aside
The boughs that breathe her name.
Her dimpled feet were slim and bare,
And everywhere she trod
The grass pushed greener everywhere,
For Spring herself was In the air
And all was right with God.
She took her watering pot along
All down the orchard lane.
And tiny field folk in a throng
Came out to hear her low-breathed song
And feel the drops Of rain.
And as she passed there breathed a sigh
From all along the way;
