and JIM"
He has proved that he can take
care of himself"
III do SO, but it will not be neces-
sary:" and with this Jones set forth
upon what he considered the culmin-
ating adventure.
| The usual brilliant crowd began to
pour into the opera. Braine took his
stand by the entrance. He waited
long time, but his patience was re-
warded. A limousine drove up and
out of the door came his man, who
| looked about with casual interest. He
dismissed the limousine, which wheel
ed slowly around the corner where it
could be conveniently parked. Then
Servan entered the opera.
Braine hurried round to the limou-
sine. The lights save those demand
| ed by traffic regulations were out.
The chauffeur was huddled in his
seat.
My man." said Braine, "would you
like to make some money!"
How much?" listlessly The voice
was muffled
I Twenty"
Good night, SIR"
Fifty"
Good night and good morning."
"A hundred"
Now you've got me interested.
What kind of a joy ride do you want?"
No joy ride. Listen"
| Briefly the conspirator outlined his
needs, and finally the chauffeur nodded.
| Five twenties were pressed into his
| hand and he curled up in his seat
| again.
| Servan entered his box. In the box
next to his sat handsomely gowned
woman. He threw her an idle glance
which was repaid in kind Later,
| Braine came in and sat down beside
| Olga
Everything looks like plain sail
| ing" he whispered.
Olga shrugged slightly.
| During the intermission between the
first and second acts, Servan took the
rear chair of his box, near the cur
tains. Braine watching with the eyes
of lynx, suddenly observed the cur
| tains stirring. A hand was thrust
through. In that hand was a packet
of papers. With seeming Indifference
Seryan reached back and took the
| papers, slowing them away in a pock-
| ct.
Braine rose at the beginning of the
second act
Where are you going?" asked Oh
| ga nervously.
| "To see Otto"
A bold attempt was made to rob
Servan while. in the box, but the timely
arrival of Jim frustrated the plan. So
Braine was forced to rely on the
chauffeur of the limousine.
AS Farrar's last thrilling note died
away, Braine and Olga rose.
BE careful And come to the apart
ments as soon as you can"
'I'll be careful" Braine declared
easily. you can watch the play il
you wish"
When Servan entered the limousine
he was quietly but forcibly seized by
two men who had been lying in wait
for him, due to the apparent treachery
of the chauffeur. Servan fought vail
antly, for all that he knew what the
end of the exploit was going to be-
One of the men succeeded in getting
the documents from Servants pocket.
Done, my boy!" cried the victor
Give him a crack on the coco and
Well beat it."
"Just a moment, gentlemen!" said
voice from the seat at the side of
the chauffeur "I'll take those pa
pers!" And the owner of the voice
backed by cold, sinister looking au-
tomato, reached in and confiscated the
spells of war "And I shouldn't make
any attempt to slip out of the side
door
Thanks, my friend said Servan,
shaking himself free from his captors.
Don't mention it." said Norton ami
ably. I'VE thought something like
this would happen. Keep perfectly
quiet, you chaps. Drive on, chauffeur;
drive on!"
Yes, my lord To what particular
police station shall head this omni-
bus?"
THE nearest, Jones; the very near
est you can think of! Some day, when
I'm rich, I'll hire you for my chauf-
feur. But for the present | shall ex-
pect at least box of Partegas out OF
that hundred
Jones chuckled. "Ill buy you a
box out of my own pocket. That hun
dred goes to charity
Here we are!' Out with you,' said
Jim to his prisoners. He shouldered
them into the police station, to the
captains desk.
Whats this?" demanded the cap
tain.
"Holdup men," said Jim. Entered
this mans car and tried to rob him. =
"Uh-huh- An who're you?"
jim showed his badge and card.
