NO, no.! as Jones drew forth hi.
wallet I'll send in my bill the frs
OF the month. Sunshine and sea air;
that's all that's necessary. And now
good-day.'
All very businesslike; not the least
cause in the world for any one to sus-
pect that new trap was being set by
the snarers. The maid returned to the
sewing room, while Florence coddled
her companion and made much OF her
Jones was suspicious, but dig in his
mind as he would, he could find nc
earthly reason for this suspicion save
| that this attribute was now instructive
| that it was always near the top. If
| Susan was i'll she must be given good
| care; there was no getting around this
fact. Later. he telephoned several
prominent doctors. The strange doc
| tor was recommended as good ordin-
airy practitioner and in good standing
and so Jones dismissed his suspicious
as having no hook to hang them on
His hair would have tingled at the
roots, however, had he known that this
| same physician was one of two who
had signed the document which had
| credited Florence with insanity and
had all but succeeded in making a
supposition fact. Nor was Jones
aware OF the fact that the telephone
| wire had been tapped recently. Sc
| when he finally concluded to permit
Florence to accompany S~san to At
lantic City, he telephoned to the de-
tectlye agency to send up a man who
was Swallowed from the moment he
entered the Hargreave home until he
started for the railway station He be-
came lost in the shuttle and was not
heard from till weeks later, in Havana
the Black Hundred found good profit
in the shanghai-ing business.
Susan began to pick up, as they say
the day after the arrival at Atlantic
City, due doubtless, to the cessation
of the poison she had been taking I'M
awares. The two young women began
to enjoy life for the first time since
they had left Miss Farlow's. They
were up with the sun every day and
went to bed tired but happy. No one
bothered them. If some stray reporter
encountered their signatures on the
MOTEL register, he saw nothing to ex-
cite his repertorial senses. All this
OF course, was due to Nortons policy
of keeping the affair out of the papers.
Following Jones orders, they made
friends with on one. Those about the
hotel - especially the young men =
when they made any advances were
politely snubbed. Every night Flor
ence would write to her good butler
to report what had taken place during
the day. and he was left to Judge fol
himself ii there was anything to arouse
his suspicious. He, of course, believed
the two were covertly guarded by the
detective he had sent after them.
When Braine called upon Olga, he
found his doctor there
well, what's the news?" he asked.
II had better run down and inquire
how the young lady is progressing
said the doctor, who was really first
rate surgeon and who had performed
number of skillful operations upon
various members of the Black Hun
dred anent their encounters with the
police. I've got Miss Florence where
you want her. It's up to you now"
"She ought to be separated from her
companion. We have left them alone
for whole week, so Jones will not
worry particularly A mighty curious
thing has turned up. Before Har-
greave's disappearance not a dozen
persons could recollect what Jones
looked like. He was pretty rarely ever
in sight. What do you suppose that
signifies?"
Don't ask me-" shrugged the man
Of medicine. 81 shouldn't worry over
Jones'"
But we cGlt stir the old fool We
ant get him out ofthat house. I've
tried to get that maid to put up little
omething in his coffee, but she stands
off at that. She says that she did as
she agreed in regard to Florence, but
her agreement ended there. We have
iven the jade five thousand already
and she is clamoring for the balance
Have you threatened herr" asked
Olga.
Braine smiled little "My DEAF
woman, it is fifty-fifty. While | have
hold on her, it is not quite so good
she has on me. We are not dealing
with an ordinary servant. we could
threaten or scare. No, indeed a
shrewd little woman who desperately
wanted money And she will be paid;
no getting out of it. She will not move
another inch, one way or the other,
after she receives the balance Har-
greave will have pretty steep bill to
pay when the time comes"
''She has no idea where the million
is?"
IF she has she's quite capable of
Juggling it off all by herself" said
Braine.
Olga" went on Braine, you must
look at it as l do; that it is still in the
middle of the game, and we have
neither lost nor won
How do you know that Hargreave
may not have at his beck and call
an organization quite as capable If
not as large as ours?" suggested the
physician.
THAT is not possible" Braine de-
clared without hesitation.
We'll, it begins to look that way to
me. We've never made move yet that
hansn't been blocked"
Pure luck each time, l tell you:
