CHAPTER v.
The Problem Of tie Sealed Box.

Jones kept saying to himself that
he must strive TO be calm, to- thfnk,
think. Despite all his warnings, the
warnings Of Norton, she had tficked
them and ran away. 1t was madden;
/ ing. He wanted to rave, tear his hair,
break things. He tramped the hall.
1t would be wasting time to send for
the police. They would only putter
about fFnitlessly. The Black Hundred
knew how to arrange these abd6c-
tions.
| How had they sacceeded in doing
1t? No one had entered the house that
day without his being present. There
had been no telephone call he had not
heard the gist Of, nor any letters he
had not first glanced over. How had
they done It? Suddenly into his mind
flashed the remembrance Of the can
die light under Florence's door the
night before. In dozen bounds he
was in her room, searching drawers,
paper boxes, baskets. He found noth-
ling. He returned IN despair to Susan,
who, during all this turmoil, had sat
as IL frozen in her chair.
2 "Speak!" he cried. "For Gods sake,
say something, think something:
Those devils are likely. to torture her,
hurt her!" He leaned against the wall,
his head on his arm.
When he turned again be was calm.
He walked with bent head toward the
door, opened 1t and stood upon the
threshold for a space. Across the
street a shadow stirred, but Jones did
not see it. His gaze was attracted by
something which shone dimly white
on the walk Just beyond the steps. He
ran to 1t. A crumpled letter, unad-
dressed. He carried, 1t back to the
house, smoothed It out and read its
contents. Florence In her haste had
dropped the letter.
He clutched at his hat, put 1t on
and ran to Susan.
"Here!" he cried, holding out an
automatic. III any one comes III that
you don't know, shoot! Don't ask
questions, shoot!"
Afraid" he roared at her. He put
the weapon in her hand. It slipped
and thudded to the floor. He stopped
for It and slammed It into her lap.
you love your life and honor. You'll
know how to shoot when the time
comes Now, attend to me. II I'm not
back here BY 10 o'clock, turn this
note over to the police. II you can't
do that, then God help US all" And

Two blocks down the street, up an
alley, was the garage wherein Har-
greaye had been won't to keep his car.
Toward this Jones ran with the speed
Of q track athlete. There might be
half a dozen taxicabs about, but he
would not run the risk Of engaging

It Is being demonstrated that Col

just issued his regulations governing
entrance of vessels to the Panama

Goethals' new rules are attracting
much favorabIe comment. He seems
to be making good as a governor. as
we'll as an engineer.
