He understood that no one is infallible.
He found the blundering policeman,
who now realized that he stood in for
a Whit of the commissioners carpet
All he could do was to give good de-
scription of the man and woman. Word
was sent broadcast through the city.
The police had to be informed this
time.
Late in the day an officer whose beat
included the ferry landing at Hoboken
said he had seen the three. Everything
had looked all right to him. 1t was
the motherly face of the one and the
benign countenance of the other that
had blinded him.
At midnight Jones, haggard and
with the air of one beaten, returned
home.
mo wireless YETI" asked Norton.
THE George Washington of the
North German Lloyd does not answer.
Something has happened to her wires;
tampered with, possibly"
so long as we know they are at sea,
we can remedy the evil They will not
be able to land at single port l have
sent ten cables. They can't get away
from the wire. If l could only get hold
of the names of those damnabie doc
tors who signed that document! Twen-
ty years."
Jones bent his head in his hands,
and Norton tramped the floor till the
sound Of his footsteps threatened to
drive the moaning Susan into hys-
terics.
1T is only matter of few days"
But can the child stand the ter
rors?" questioned Jones. who knows
that they may not really drive her in

On board the George Washington
every one felt extremely sorry for this
beautiful girl. 1t was a frightfnl mis-
fortune to be so stricken at her age.
She Is certainly insane" said one
Of the passengers, who had known
Hargreave slightly through some bank
ing business. "Hargreave wasn't mar.
ried. He lived alone"
After the second day out Florence
was permitted to wander about the
ship as she pleased.
A good many of the passengers were
nightly worried when they learned
that the wireless had in some mysteri-
GUS way been tampered with after the
boat had made the open sea. 1t was
impossible to put about. The appara-
tus must be fixed at sea.
And when finally Norton's wireless
caught the wires of the George Wash
ington he was gravely informed that
the young lady referred to had leaped
the rail off the Banks It night and had
been drowned. She had not been
missed till the following morning.

He was congratuIating himself upon
the orderliness of the affair when
keen-eyed young man in the garb of
chauffeur touched his shoulder
What's this | hear about an insane
woman" he demanded.
she was insane, all right. They had
papers to prove 1t. She kept crying
that she was Stanley Hargreave's
daughter"
my God!" The young man struck
his forehead in despair. you ass, she
was Stanley Hargreave's daughter.
and they've kidnapped her right under
your nose! What was the number of

Cut out that line of talk, young fel-
lah; l know my business. They had
the proper documents
"But you hadn't brains enough to in
quire whether they we're genuine or
not! You wait!" shrilled the chauf-
feur. 'I'll have you broken for this
work" He wheeled and ran back to
his car, to find Susan and the countess
in great state of agitation. "They
got her, they got her! And I swore
on the book that they never should, SO
long as I drove the car"
Susan wept, and the countess tried
In vain to console her.
And when Jones was informed he
frightened even the countess with the
snarl of rage which burned across his
lips. He tore into the hall, seized his
hat, and was gone. Not word of re-
proach did he offer to the chauffeur.

Florence and Susan Went Shopping,
lures of two registered physicians are
affixed to the document. 1t does moi
say that these physicians shall have
been proved reputable.
There were, besides the physicians
motherly looking woman and a man
of benign countenance. Their faces
were valuable assets. To gain an.
other persons confidence is, perhaps
among the greatest human achieve
ments. A confidence man and woman
in the real sense of the word. In your
minds eye you could see this man
carrying the contribution plate down
the aisle on Sunday mornings, and his
wife Kate putting her mite on the
plate for the benefit of some poor, un
tidy Hottentot
On Tuesday of the following weeh
Florence and Susan went shopping
The chauffeur was a strong young fel
low whom Jones relied upon. If you
pay a man well and hold out fine
promises, you generally can trust him

his wife Kate. The two young women
stopped at the great dry goods shop
near the public library, and for the
time being naturally forgot everything
but the marvels which had come from
all parts of the world. 1t is as natural
for a woman to buy as it is for a man
to sell
In some manner or other Florence
became separated from Susan. She
hunted through aisle after aisle, but
could not find her; for the simple rea.
son that Susan was hunting for her. 1t
occurred to the girl that Susan might
have wisely concluded the best place
to wait would be in the taxicab. And
so Florence hurried out into the street,
into the arms of the Wendt family,
who were patiently awaiting her.
The trusted chauffeur had been sent
around to the side entrance by the
major domo. The young lady had SO
requested, so he said.
flOrence struggled and called for
the policeman, who came running up,
followed by the usual idle, curious
crowd.
The poor young woman is insane"
said the motherly Kate, tears in her
eyes. The benign Thomas looked at
heaven. We are her keepers"
1T is not true% cried Florence des-
perately.
She has the hallucination that she
is the daughter of the millionaire
Stanley Hargreave." And Thomas ex-
hibited his document, which was per-
fectly legal, SO far as appearances
went.
Hurry up and get her of the walk.

Norton stole away with great eau
tion. His first intention was to pro-
ceed straight to the city, but de-
spite his resolution he found himself
within quarter of an hour gazing
up at the windows of the Hargreave
house. Not at home!"
Quite unconscious of the fact, he
was as close to death as any mortal
man might care to be. The police

The lull made Jones doubly alert.
He was positive that they we're pre-
pairing to strike again. But from what
direction and in what manner? He
had not met the gift of clairvoyance,
so he had to wait and waiting is a
terrible game when perhaps death is
balancing the scales. 1t Is always
easier to make an assault than to
await it; and it is good general who
always finds himself prepared.
But it made his heart ache to watch
the child. She went about cheerfully
when any one was in the room with
her. Many a time, however, he had
stolen to the door of her bedroom and
heard the heart-rending sobs, a vain
attempt being made to stide them
among the pillows. She was only
eighteen; 1t was first love; and first
loves are pale, evanescent attach

so on. and so forth, half lies and halt

From his vantage point the butler
smiled ironically. He could read the

could read the page of book. The
effrontery! And all the while he
must gravely admit her and pretend

left! Still, she had done him an in

whon the pastime no longer served,
he pulled his chair over to the window
