audibly.
What did they do to you?"
" He said he was my father. he
put his arms around me- And
knew!"
Knew what7"
That he lied, 1 can't explain"
Don't try!"
Suddenly she laid her head against the

to console her
Horrible!" she murmured between the
violent hiccoughs- Il was wrong, wrong!
Forgive me-!
Unconsciously the arm sustaining her drew
her closer.

street"
They found Susan still seated in the chair,
the automatic in her lap. She had not moved
in all this time!
Braine paced the apartment of the Princess
Perigof. From the living room to the boudoir
and back, fully twenty times. From the divan
Olga watched him nervously. He was like a

like an eel. And across the street, Jones in

The girl may or may not know where the
money is, but Jones does, Jones does Two
men shall watch. FELTON, on the street and
Orlof from the windows Of t,a deserted house.
With opera glasses he will be able to take note
of all that happens in the house during the
day. He will be able to see the girls room.
And that's the important point. 1t was a

at once. S. HE laughed and shook his
head. I'm afraid that will never do"
" If she reads 1t, Jones will. The man with
