Aunt Debby's eyes rolled. She could
talk no more, but she made a circular

this tedious process Aunt Debby, who

To Ned's they drove, and within five
minutes after Aunt Debby's excited re-
port Ned Warner and John Moore and
three long and lanky detectives were
headed for the market, with Jerry and
Aunt Debby up in front. At that point
they scattered, and 1t was Ned whose
inquiries after Marie led all the way
to officer Dowd.

Ned gazed after him in perplexity.
There was no use to question that fel-

that the man had seen June. She had
passed this way then. She was some
where near. And Blye! Blye, too, had
passed this way. Ned chose the most
direct street. the one which led to lit

gled sharply into it. And this foun-
tain was visible from the third floor
windows of the Widow O'Keefe's
house. Ned Warmers heart was full
of murder.
Blye had passed that way, but he
had gone up another street. Now he,
too, in his wandering search for the
runaway bride came down toward the
little fountain from the other angle.

fic both ways while she described the
chicken potpie she intended to make
for dinner, All this was, first, because
the Widow O'Keefe's husband had
been the most popular man on the
force and, second because Marie, plain
of feature though she was, had found
in herself an unexpected knack for
pleasing policemen,
In the market June's maid, compan-
ion and protector wandered from stall

deciding on the tremendously impor-

when suddenly an avalanche of fam,

cried:
You, Marie? Wha's Miss Junie? I

Aunt Debby! Her two fat black
hands were gripped ON Marie's arm.

Marie with sudden Jerk freed her
self from that earnest grasp and would
have been far down the street had it
not been for the thickening crowd.

in this place. He was equally impress

"She had no reason to be in trouble.

The man turned from June.
You give it." Across June's mind
there flashed again the whole of her
own vital problem-that whatever the
wife has must come from the husband
in the nature of charity. She saw her
self again as the piteous little beggar
before Ned, whom she loved, and she
saw Mrs. Perry in that same attitude
before this stern husband. "What
right have you to call It gift?"
The man stopped and turned to June
with a puzzled brow. She had set

head. But can't overlook chance

zine And that puzzling problem filed
tbs entire mind OF John Moore as he
sat In his office,
Where was June? A dozen private
detectives were securing the city of
: New York for her, and they reported to
stern faced young man who sat in
the lonely apartments which June and
he had fitted up TO be their nest, his
only companion a miniature Of his
lovely bride.
Where was June? Who was this
mysterious Gilbert Blye? What was
his power over Ned Warmers bride?
Ned seized his hat and strobe forth
1ntO the streets in his never ending
search for June.
AT that moment the door of a strange
house had slammed abruptly behind
beautiful June Warner. And Gilbert
Blye had furnished this address to
June's employment agency.
A blase looking page girl inspected
June impudently In the dim light Of
the hall, then with significant grin
left June standing there and swagger-
ed through door Mt the end of the
hall. June was startled a. that door

A large yellow haired woman came

in a voice to which the honey was for

side room at the left of the salon. As
June reluctantly entered the strangely
furnished little room at the left Gilbert
Blye came in ut the front door.
With a smile upon his lips and CLINT
ing in his dark eyes he hurried straight
back toward the little room in which
stood June, now alone and frightened.
At that instant huge, clumsy maid
came tumbling up from the basement,
followed by a puff of yellow smoke.
With her eyes distended and her mouth
open, ready for the yell of "Firew she
rushed to the door of the salon, but
before she could reach it Gilbert Blye
had her roughly by the arm end push

smoke which came curling ominously

toward Juue's room and dashed down

That was strangely furnished little
room in which June found herself.
