with Law at the wheel that had struck
me down-a deliberate attempt at as
| sassination. l sent Law word that |
meant to have life for life. For
what was I better than dead? l prom
ised him that, should he escape, l
would have the life of his son. He
knew | meant it, and sent his wife
and son abroad. Then he died sud-
denly, of some common ailment-they
said; but l knew better. He died Of
fear Of me-"
Urine smiled a cruel smile: Il had
made his life a reign of terror. Ever
so often l would send Law, one way
or anotber-mysteriou always-a
trey Of hearts; it was my death-sign
for him; as you know, our name,
Urine, signifies group Of three. And
every time he received a trey of
hearts, within twenty-four hours an
attempt of some sort would be made
upon his life. The strain broke down
his nerve.
Then l turned my attention to the
son, but the distance was too great,
the difficulties insuperable. The Law
millions Knocked all my efforts; their
alliance with the Rothschilds placed
mother and son under the protection
Of every secret police in Europe. But
they dared not come home. At length
1 realized I could win only by playing
a waiting game. I needed three
things: more money; to bring Alan
Law back to America; and one agent
I could trust, one incorruptible agent
I ceased to persecute mother and son,
lulled them into a sense Of false SCI
curity, and by careful speculations
repaired my fortunes. In Rose I had
the lure to draw the boy back to
America; in you, the one person |
could trust.
81 sent Rose abroad and arranged
that she should meet Law. They fell
in love at sight. Then l wrote inform
ing her that the man she had chosen
was the son Of him who had murdered
all of me but my brain. 1t fell out as
I foresaw. You can imagine the scene
of passionate enunciation-pledges
of undying constancy-the arrange
ment Of secret code whereby, when |
she needed him, she would send him |
a single rose-the birth of a great ro-
mance!"
The old man laughed sardonically
"Well, there is the history Now the
rose has been sent; Law is already
homeward bound; my agents are
watching his every step. The rest is
In your hands,"
The girl bent forward, breathing
heavily, eyes aflame in face that had
waxen pallor.
What is it you want Of me?"

CHAPTER |.
The Message Of tho Rose.

Tapped deep in the leather-bouno
luxury Of an ample lounge-chair.
walled apart from the world by the
venerable solitude of the library of
London's most exclusive club, Mr..
Alan Law sprawled largely on the
nape of his neck) and, squirting dis
contentedly down his nose, admitted
that he was exhaustively bored.
Now the chair filled SO gracelesslyi
stood by an open window, some twen-
ty feet below which lay a stable
walled garden, an old English garden
In full flower And through the vim
dow, now and then, a halfhearted
breeze waited gusts Of warm air,
sauve and enervating with the heavy
fragrance OF English roses.
Mr. Law drank deep of it, and In
spite of his spiritual unrest, sighed
slightly and shut his eyes.
An unspoken word troubled the
depth Of his consciousness, so that
old memories stirred and struggled to
It's surface. The word was Rose"
and for the time seemed to be the
name neither Of woman nor Of a
flower, but oddly Of both, as though
the two things were one. His mental
vision, bridging the gap of year, con-
jured up the vision of 1.-THE, sweet
silhouette in white, with red roses
at her belt, posed on terrace of the
Riviera against the burning Mediter-
ranean blue.
Mr.. Law was DULY conscious that
he ought to be sorry about something.
But he was really very drowsy indeed;
and SO, drinking deep Of wine-scent
of roses, he fell gently asleep.
The clock was striking four when
he awoke; and before closing his
eyes he had noticed that it's hands
indicated ten minutes to four. So he
could not have slept very long.
For some few seconds Alan did not
move, but rested as he was, incredu-l
lousy regarding a rose which had ma
terialized mysteriously upon the little
table at his elbow. He was quite sure
1t had not been there when he closed
his eyes, and almost as sure that it
was not real.
And in that instant of awakening
the magic fragrance of the rose-garden
seemed to be even more strong and
cloying sweet than ever.
Then he put out a gingerly hand
and discovered that it was real beyond
all question. A warm red rose, fresh
plucked, drops of water trembling and
sparkling like tiny diamonds on the
velvet of it's fleshy petals. And when
impulsively he took it by the stem, he
discovered a most indisputable thorn
did service for the traditional
pinch.
Convinced that he wasn't dreaming,
Alan transferred the rose to his sound
hand, and meditatively sucked his

thumb Then he jumped up from the
chair and glared suspiciously round
the room 1t was true that a prac-
tical joke in that solemn atmosphere
were thing unthinkable; still, there
was the rose.
There was no one but himself in
the library.
Perplexed to evaporation, Alan fed
the club, only pausing on the way out
to annex the envelope he found adj
dressed to him in the letter-rack.
1t was a blank white envelope of
good quality, the address typewriter,
the stamp English, and bore Lon
don postmark half illegible.
Alan tore the envelope open in abb
sent-minded fashion-and started as
If stung. The enclosure was SIM
pie playing card-a trey of hearts!
AS for Alan Law, he wandered
homeward in a state Of stupefaction.
He could read quite well the message
OF the rose He would not soon for
get that year-old parting with his
Rose Of the Riviera: you say you
love me but may not marry me-and
we must part. Then promise this,
that if ever you change your mind,
you'll send for me-" And her prom
Use: IT will send you rose"
But the year had lapsed with never

MIN overseas to this mortal pass. Fea-
her tumbled hair, she counterfeited
the woman he loved; only those eyes,.
afiame with their look of inhuman
ruthlessness denied that the two were
one.
He sought vainly to speak. The
breath rustled in his parched throat
like wind whispering among dead
leaves.
Thrusting the Indian roughly aside,
the woman knelt In his place by
Alan's head.
mo" she said, and smiling cruelty,
shook her head-"no, I am not your
Rose. But am her sister, Judith, her
twin, born in the same hour, daughter
of-can you guess whose daughter?
But see thisl" She flashed a card
from within her hunting shirt and held
1t before his eyes. You know 1t, Ell?
The trey of hearts-the symbol of
Trine-Trine, your fathers enemy,
and yours. and-Rose's father and
mine! So, now, perhaps you know"
A gust Of wind like furnace blast
swept the glade. The woman sprang
up, glanced over-shoulder into the for
est, and signed to the Indian.
"In ten minutes" she said, these
woods will be your funeral pyre."
She stepped back. Jacob advanced,
picked Alan up, shouldered his body,
and strobe back into the forest Ten
feet In from the clearing he dropped
the helpless man supine upon bed of
dry logs and branches.
Then, with a single movement, he
disappeared.
