1t was Elaine asking Craig's ad.
vice.
They have offered to hush the
thing up for ten thousand dollars" she
said in a mufiied voice.
She seemed bent on doing 1t, and no
amount Of argument from him could
stop her She simply refused to ac-
cept the evidence of the blood crys-
tails as better than what her own eyes
told her she had seen and done.
"Then wait for half an hour" he
answered, without arguing further.
you CAN do that without exciting
suspicion. Then go with her to her
hotel and hand her over the money"
"All right-lll do it." she agreed.
What is the hotel?"
Craig wrote on slip Of paper what
she told him-"Room 500, Hotel La
Coste."
Hastily he threw on his street coat.

that he had placed the detectascope

In the brace and bit also.
Come on-hurry!" he urged.
We must have made record time In
getting to the La Coste. 1t was an or
nate place, where merely to breathe
was expensive. We entered, and by
some excuse Kennedy contrived to
get past the vigilant bell-hops. We
passed the telephone switchboard and
entered the elevator, getting of at
the fifth floor.
With hasty glance up and down
the corridor, to make sure no one was
about, Kennedy came to Room 500,
then passed to the next room. 511,
opening the door with skeleton key.
Quickly Craig went to the door
which led to the next room. 1t was,
of course, locked also. He listened a
moment carefully. Not sound. Quick
ly, with an exclamation of satisfac-
ton, he opened that door also and
went into 500.
This room was much like that in
which we had already been. He
opened the hall door.
Watch here. Walter" he directed.
"Let mo know at the slightest alarm"
Craig had already taken the brace
and bit from the bag and started to
bore through the wall in Room b11.

room 511. Then he started to brush
up the pieces of plaster on the floor.
Craig" I whispered hastily as I
heard an elevator door, someone's
coming!"
He hurried to the door and looked.
There they are" he said, as he saw
Elaine and Mary rounding the corner
nf the hall.

She opened the bag and displayed
the blood-spotted handkerchief. He
took 1t and examined 1t carefully.

1t was not much later that Elaine
received a second visit from Mary.
DO you know why the servant al
lowed us to leave the apartment"
whispered Mary with glance about
fearfully. as II the walls had ears.
"No-why?" inquired Elaine anxious
ly.
Hes a tong man who has been
chosen to do away with the prince.
He followed me. and says you have
done his work for him. II you will
give him ten thousand dollars for ex-
penses he will attend to hiding the
body"
Here, at least,was a way out.
ut Is the safest way out OF the
trouble. Yes, I'll do 1t. I'll stop at the
bank now and get the money"
They rose and Mary preceded her,
eager to get away from the house.
At the door, however. Elaine asked
her to wait while she ran back on

Elaine noticed some spots on her
hands. and, seeing that they were
stained by the blood Of Long Sin,
wiped the spots on on her handker-

"Ugh!" exclaimed cultural voice
behind them. ... a..
It was the servant who had come
in. aF
"You-kill him-with knife?" insin-

Elaine was dumb. The servant did
not wait for an answer but hastily
opened the hall door.
To Elaine 1t seemed that something
must be done quickly. A moment and
all the house would be in uproar.
Instead, he placed his finger on his
lips. "Quick-no word" he said. lead.

bloody handkerchief and pressing 1t
into Elaine's hand.
They quickly ran out into the hall
"Go-quick!" he urged again, "and
hide the handkerchief In the bag. Let
no one see It'll"
He shut the door. AS they hurried
away Elaine breathed a sigh of relief
They had reached the street Afraid

could until they turned the first cor

They pressed each others hands and
parted.
Meanwhile in the front room Long

to the servant.
They were conversing eagerly and
laughing and did not hear a noise in

With a low bow, Wong spread out
his hands in surrender and submission

At home at last, Elaine sank down
into a deep library chair and stared
straight ahead. She saw visions OF
arrest and trial, of the terrible cleo

and OF the giving of the fatal signal
for turning on the current.

Says Nothing Has Been Done
Through Diplomatic Channels
To Assist German Trade

WASHINGTON. y C.. April IT,.
Count Won IfernstOrlf, the German am

g. the state department on behalf Of
his government, the text Of which con,
stitutes a cOmplainr against what is
charged as Am'riCa's practical agree
ment with the terms Of the embargo
OF German trade as Laid down in the
British order in council.
The note states that the United
States, despite ITS lengthy correSp0n-
denCe and exchange OF views with the
foreign Offices Of Great Britain and
France, has accomplished nothing In
the way OF obtaining any recognition
Of the rights OF American exporters

signees fOOdstuifs for the use Of the

The note strongly intimates that the
United States has virtually acquiesced
In the conditions Of embargo and

exporters have ceased looking for fur
Their German orders and are not de-
Epatching any cargOes TO German
ports, their action indicating their be-
lief that the American government Is
not disposed to uphold them in their
rights upon the high seas.
IL The state department has begun up
on the draft of an immediate reply to
