terse comment Of the secret service
man.
He led his prisoners away directly.
Norton and his men had to wait far
into the night. The Black Hundred

alter ten they descended. Braine was
rGt with them. This was due to the
urgent request OF Olga, who still had
her doubts. The men rioted about the
house, searching hooks and corners,

books. pulling out drawers. but they

promised himself q good front page
story without in any way conflicting
with his promises 10 Jones.
Events came 10 pass as they expected.
The trailing was not the easiest thing.
Norton knew about where the build
ing was, but he could not so to it di-
rectly. He was quite confident that
its entrance was identical with that
which had the tap door through which
he had been flung that memorable
day when he had been shanghaied.
When they reached the building he
warned the men to hug the wall to the
stairs. The trap yawned, but no one
was hurt. They scampered up the
stairs like lot OF eager boys; broke
the door into find the weird e2ecu-
tive chamber dark and empty and an
acrid smoke in their nostrils. This
latter grew sitting as they blundered
about in the dark By luck Norton
found the exit and called to the men
to follow. They saw Beggs at the top
Of the stairway and called out to him
to surrender. He held up his hands
and the stairs collapsed. Real fire
burst out and Norton and his compan-
ion had desperate battle with flame
and smoke to gain the street.
The fire was put out finally, but
there was nothing in the ruins to prove
that there had been counterfeiting
den there There was, however, at
least one consoling feature: in the fu-
ture the Black Hundred would have
to hold their star-chamber elsewhere.
It was checkmate; or, rather, it was
a draw.

was a deeper menace than he cared
70 face But he went about his af-
fairs as usual, giving no hint to any
cne Of the mental turmoil which had
possession Of him.
1t is needless to state Norton did
not scoop his rivals on the counter
| felt story. But he set to work eXplor-
ing the cellar Of the gutted building,
and in one corner he found a battered
die. He turned this over to the secret
service men. There was one man he
wanted to fnd-Vroon. This man,
! could he find him, should be made to
/ lead him, Norton, to the new strong
! hold He saw the futility of trying to
trap Braine by shadowing him. He
! desired Braine to believe that his es-
! cape from the freighter had been
bit of wild luck and not precon-
ceived plan. Braine was out Of reach
! for the present, SO he began the search
! for the man Eroon. He haunted the
water front saloons for week with
out success.
He did not know that it was the
policy Of the Black Hundred to lay low

serious character. So the Hargrea:e

He went about his work the same as
Of old, interviewing, playing detective,
fattening his pay envelope by specials
to the Sunday edition and some OF the
lighter magazines. Sometimes he had
vague dreams Of writing a play,

to do with this history.
All ready, then. The chess are one
more on the board and it is the moe
of the Black Hundred.
The day was rather cloudy. Jones
viewed the sky ~earily. He could
hear Florence playing rather cheer

weeks ago this warfare had begun, and

moment Florence left the piano She
stopped at the threshold.
Hello! You? Where have you

Jones held up a warning hand, and
Florence paused.

without the slightest hesitation.
All this came about something after

great passion, and while her mode
Of living was not as honest as might
be, her love was honest enough and un-

by the pleasant fancies Of youth.

asked when he concluded that the

He caught her suddenly in his arms,
kissed her, ran lightly to the door,
and was gone before she could re-
cover from her astonishment.
The affair went smoothly, without
a hitch. Norton and his men gained
the house through the tunnel without
attracting the least attention. The
Black Hundred, watching the front
and rear of the house, never dreamed
that there existed another mode OF
entrance or that there was a secret
cabinet room.
Half an hour later the head of the
secret service, accompanied By his
men, together with Spider" Beggs,
who was in high feather over his sue
cess, arrived, demanded admittance,
and went at the front of the business
at once.
Your name is JONES'" began the
chief.
The butler nodded, though his face
eyinced no little Dewilderment at the
appearance of these men.
What is it you wish, sir?'
.'I am from the secret service and
have it from pretty good source
that there is counterfeit money hidden
in this house. More than that, I can
put my hand on the very place II is
hidden"
That is impossible, sir" declared
Jones Indignantly.
I'm an old hand, Mr. Jones. It
will not CO you a bit Of good to put
on that bold front"
Beegs smiled. How was he to know
that this was comedy set especially
for his benefit?
Il should like to see that money
said Jones, not quite so bravely.
Come with me- said the secret
service man. where's the library?
Beyond that door, sir
The chief beckoning to his men
entered the library, went directly to
a certain shelf. extracted three vol
umes, and there lay the money in
three neat packages.
Good Leave1s:" gasped Jones.
