Jones was suspicious, but dig In
his mind as he would he could find
no earthly reason for this suspicion
save that this attribute was now in,
stinctive, that It was always near the
top. II Susan was Ill she must be
given good care; there was no get
ting around this fact. Later, he tele-
phoned several prominent physicians,
The strange doctor was recommended
as a good ordinary practitioner and
In good standing; and SO Jones dis
missed 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 the
two who had signed the document
which had accredited Florence with
insanity and had all but succeeded in
making a ~supposition a fact. Nor
was Jones aware of the fact that the
telephone wire had been tapped re-
Gently. So when he finally conclud-
ed to permit Florence to accompany
Susan to Atlantic City he telephoned
to the detective agency to send up a
trusty man. who was Swallowed from
the moment he entered the Hargreave
home till he started for the railway
station. He became lost in the shuttle
and was not heard from till weeks
later, in Havana. The Black Hun

since they had left Miss Farlow's.
They we're up with the sur every day
and went to bed tired but happy. No
one bothered them. If some stray
reporter encountered their signatures
on the hotel register, he saw nothing
to excite his reportorial sense. All
this, of course. was due to Norton's
policy of keeping the affair out of the
papers.
Following Jones' orders, they
made friends with no one. Those
about the hotel-especially the young
men-when they made any advances
were politely snubbed. Every night
Florence would write to her good
butler to report what had taken place
during the day. and he was left to
Judge for himself If there was any
thing to o his suspicious. He
of course, believed the two we're GOV
verify guarded by the detective he
had ZEN after them.
When Braine called upon Olga he
found his doctor there.

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 a whole week. so Jones will
not worry particularly. A mighty
curious thing has turned up. Before

We can't get him out of that house.
