the warehouse. His ancient enemy
had been watching him all the time.
More than this, Hargreave and the
meddling reporter were in collision.
In the fare of lights at the end of the
gun-play he had caught the profile of
the reporter. Here was a dangerous
man. who must he watched with the
utmost care.
He. Braine, had been lured to COM
init an overt act. and by the rarest
good luck had escaped with nothing
more serious than a cold chill and a
calling disappointment.
He crawled along the top of the
pier, listening, sending his dark-ac-
eustomed glance hither and thither.
The sky in the east was growing
paier. In and out among the bales of
wool, bags of coffee, and lemon crates
he slowly and cautiously wormed his

After that he Strengthened up. sought
a second hand shop and purchased a
soft hat which he pulled down over
eyes.
He had half a dozen rooms which
he always kept in readiness for such
adventures as this. He rented them
furnished in small hotels which never
asked questions of their patrons. To
one Of these he went as fast as his
weary legs could carry him. He al
ways carried the key. Once in his
room he donned fresh wearing appar-

into the cracked mirror. In 1t she
saw several faces. all masked. These
men were peering at her through the
half closed door behind her.

from those horrible arms.

Would they have to break her? He

worth more to him than the money

Braine was as certain of this fact as
he was of his own breathing. He
