We have given the jade five thousand
already and she is clamoring for the
balance"
Have you threatened herr" asked
Olga.
Braine smiled a little. MY dear
woman, 1t is fifty-fifty. While have a
hold on her, it is not quite so good as
she has on me. We are not dealing
with an ordinary servant we could
threaten and scare No. indeed a
shrewd little woman who desperately
wanted money And she will be paid;
no getting out of it. She will not
move another step. one way or the
other, after she receives the balance.
Hargreave will have a pretty steep
bill to pay when the time comes"
She has no idea where the mil
lion is?"
"If she had. she's quite capable
of Juggling 1t off all by herself" said
Braine.
The doctor laughed.
Olga" went on Braine, lyon must
look at 1t as do; that 1t is still in the
middle of the game. and we have
neither lost nor won"
How do you know that Hargreaye
may not have at his beck and call

not as large as ours?" suggested me

mis- 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 fact. Nor
was Jones aware of the fact that the
telephone wire had been tapped re-
Gently. So when he finally concluded
to permit Florence to accompany Su-
san to Atlantic City he telephoned to
the detective agency to send up
trusty man, who was shadowed from
the moment he entered the Hargreave
home till he started for the railway
station , He became lost in the shuf-
fle and was not heard from till weeks
later, in Havana The Black Hundred
found good profit in the shanghai
ing business.
Susan began to pick up, as they say
the day after the arrival at Atlantic
City, due, doubtless, to the cessation
of the poison she had been taking
unawares The two young women be-
gan to enjoy life for the first time
since they had left Miss Farlow's.
They we're up with the sun every day
and went to bed tired but happy. No
one bothered them. If some stray re-
porter encountered their signatures on
the hotel register, he saw nothing to
excite his reportorial senses. All this,
of course, was due to Nortons policy
of keeping the affair out of the pa
pers.
Following Jones' orders, they made
friends with none. Those about the
hotel-especially the young men
when they made any advances were
politely snubbed. Every night Flor
ence would write to her good butler
to report what had taken place dur
ing the day, and he was left to Judge
for himself If there was anything to
arouse his suspicious He, of course,
believed the two were covertly guard
ed by the detective he had sent after
them.
When Braine called up Olga he
found his doctor there.
well, what's the news?" he asked.
Il had better run down and inquire
how the young lady is progressing"
said the doctor, who was really first
rate surgeon and who had performed
number of skilled operations upon
various members of the Black Hun
dred anent their encounters with the
police. I've got Miss 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 whole week, so Jones will not
worry particularly A mighty curious
thing has turned up. Before Har-
greave's disappearance not a dozen
persons could recollect what Jones
looked like. He was rarely ever in
sight. What do you suppose that
signifies?"
Don't ask me" shrugged the man
of medicine Il shouldn't worry over

Sho Flung Herself Into the Water

might interest the feller that runs it."
"Thanks!"
But the aviator would not listen.
"A life may hang in the balance,
mani" expostulated Norton, longing to
pommel the stubborn man.
What proof have l of that?"
Norton showed his card and badge.
20, l see!" jeered the aviator "a
little newspaper stunt in which am

Norton it can't be done"
"A hundred dollars!"
Not for five hundred" and the
aviator callously turned away toward
the young woman with whom he had
been conversing prior to Norton's ap-
proach. The two walked a dozen yards
away.
Norton had not served twelve years
as a metropolitan newspaper man for
nothing He approached the mechan-
les who were puttering about the
machine
How about twenty apiece?" he
began.
For what?" the men asked.
For sending that paddle around a

any of those levers" one of them

Give her shove for the fun of it,"
1t was a dumfounded aviator who
saw his hydroplane skim the water
and moment later sail into the air.
These swift moving days a reporter
of the first caliber is supposed to be
able to run railroad engines, subma-
rines, flying machines, conduct a war;
able to shoot, walk, run, swim, fight,
think, go without food like a python,
and live without water like a camel
Norton had flown many times in the
last four years. At the moment he
called out to Florence to jump he
dropped to the water with all the skill
of an old timer and took her aboard,
And he could not use a line of this
exploit for his paper!
Jones heard the bell. It was the
agent from the Black Hundred He
smiled jauntily.
We'll, old fox, we've ccrnered you
at last, haven't we? l want that money
or Hargreave's daughter takes another
sea voyage, and this time she will not
jump overheard. A million; and nc
more nonsense"
Give me fifteen minutes to decide
begged Jones, hoping against hope.
Fifteen seconds!"
Then we can't do business. What!
Give you million, knowing you all tc
be a pack of liars? Bring Miss Flor
ence back and the money is yours. We
are tired of fighting" AS indeed
Jones really was. The strain had beer
terrific for weeks.
''The money first. We don't lie any
better than you do. Fork over. You'll
have to trust us. We have no use
for the girl once we get the cash"
"And you'll never touch penny o
1t, you blackguard!" cried Morton
from the doorway.
The agent turned to behold the re
porter and the girl. He did not stol
to ask questions, but bolted. He neve
got beyond the door, however.

Jones. And If ! could have put m!
hands on the money I'd have given y
to him! All, girl. it doesn't do any
