Why do you laugh?"
II laugh because II he were dead there
would be no earthly reason for your not say

many noble deeds. But never mind the money.

That night there was :. meeting of the or

butler looked like.
II had a glimpse of him the other night;
but being unprepared, I might not recognize
him again."

i hope it will be worth more SOON"
i believe I'll be able to recognize Mr.
Jones if see him. Who is he and what is

He has been with Hargreave for fourteen
years. There was a homicidal case in which
Jones was active. Hargreave saved him. He
is faithful and uncommuricative. Money will
not touch him. If he does know where that
million is, hot irons could not make him own
up to it. The only way is to watch him, fol-
low him, wait for the moment when he'll grow
careless. No man is always on his mettIs )
be lets up sooner or later"
He is being watched, as you know"

to think, think. Despite all his
warnings, the warnings of Norton, she had
tricked them and run away. 1t was mad
dening. He wanted to rave, tear his hair,
break things. He tramped the ball. 1t would
be wasting time to send for the police. They
would only putter about fruitlessly. The
Black Hundred knew how to arrange these
Sbductions.
How had they succeeded in doing it? No
one had entered the house that day without
his being present. There had been no tele-
phone 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 a dozen bounds he was In her room,
searching drawers, paper boxes, baskets. He
found nothing. He returned in despair to

sat as If frozen in her chair.
