with any degree of finesse."
BAH" Braine lit a cigarette and
smoked nervously. 'I can't even get
rid of that meddling reporter. He
has been as much to blame for our
failures as either Jones or Hargreave.
! admit that in his case I Judged
hastily. | believed him to be just an
ordinary newspaper man, and he was
clever enough to lull my suspicious:
but I'm going to get him, Olga, even
If I have to resort to ordinary gum
man tricks. If there's any final reck-
oning, by the Lord Harry, ne shan't
get chance in the witness stand.
And i begin to think that that lit
tie chit of a girl has been hoodwink-
ing me all along. BY the way, did
you find out what that letter said?''
she asked after a pause.
Letter? What letter."
She sprang from her chair. do
you mean to say that they have not
told you about that?' Olga became
greatly excited.
Explain" he said.
"Why, I was at the garden day be-
fore yesterday, and man ap-
preached and asked If I was Miss
Hargreave. Becoming at once sus-
picious that something very import
ant was about to happen, l signified
that I was Miss Hargreave. The man
slipped a paper into my hand and
buried off. l took a quick glance at
it and was dumfounded to find 1t
utterly blank of writing. At first |
thought some joke had been played
on me, then / chanced to remember
the invisible ink letters you always
wrote me- Understanding that you
were to visit the cave in the morn
ing, / had one man at the garden
take the note. And you never got
it,"
"Some one shall pay for this care
lessness. I'll call up Vroon and jack
son at once. Wait Just moment"
He went to the telephone. A low
muttering conversation took place.
Olga could hear little OF nothing of it..
When Braine put the receiver back
on the hook his face was not pleas
ant to see.
"That grill
What now?'
"It seems she had been out horse
back riding that morning She had
seen one of the boys cross the field
and suddenly disappear, and she was
curious to learn what had become of
him. With her usual luck she STUN
bled on to the method OF opening the
door Of the cave and went In. She
must have been nosing about. She
didn't have much time, though, as the
boys came up to await me. Evident
ly she crawled into that old chest
and in some inexplicable manner pur-
loined the letter from Jackson's
pocket. They left to reconnoiter, and
1t was then that Jackson discovered
his loss. When Florence heard them
returning she Jumped into the well.
And lived through that tunneli The
devil is in it!"
"or out Of it, since we consider him
our friend"
And ! had her in my hands, note

But with all that water there will
not be any writing left on tho letter"

and impervious to the action of
water; at least the kind use is. I'd
give a thousand for sight of that

succeeded in doing is knocking our
heads. I can see now that all our
failures are due to one mistake"
And what the devil Is that?" he
asked irritably.
I'VE were in too much OF hurry at
the beginning. Hargreave prepared
himself for quick action on your
part"
And if I had not acted quickly he
would have started successfully on

would have been the last of him,
