In the attic, Bertholdi was still at
work. keeping her eyes open to exc.

had sent her.
Rusty, forgotten In the excitement
by Jennings. had roamed at will
through the house and seemed quite
interested. For this was the trunk be-
hind which he had his cache of treas
ures.
AS Bertholdi started to move behind
the trunk, Rusty could stand 1t no
longer. He darted ahead of her into
his hiding place. Among the dog bis.
cult and bones was the torpedo model
which he had dug up from the palm
pot In the conservatory. He seized
1t In his mouth and turned to carry
It OF.
There. In his path, was his enemy,
the new girl. Quick as fash, she
saw what 1t was Rusty had, and
grabbed at 1t.
Get QUIT" she ordered, looking at
her prize in triumph and turning 1t
over and over in her hands.
At that moment she heard Elaine
on the stairs. What should she do?

Elaine checked herself. She had
been about to hand the note to Del
Mar when an idea seemed to come TO
her. Instead, she crumpled it up and
thrust 1t into her bosom.
On the street the bolero and the
domino girl were hurrying away as
fast as they could.
Meanwhile. the gray friar had over
come Del Mar, had bound and gagged
him and thrust him into the closet.
Then he wrote the note and laid it,
with a rose from vase. on Elaine's
dressing table before he. too. left the
place.
More than ever l was at loss to
make 1t out.
1t was the day after the masquerade
ball that a taxicab drove up to the
Dodge house and very trim but not
oyerdressed young lady was an

Miss DODGE" she inquired as Jen-
nings held open the portieres and she
entered the library where Elaine and
Aunt Josephine were.
II Elaine had only known, 1t was
the domino girl OF the night before
who handed her note and sat down.

Elaine read:

Later in the day. Elaine had both
Marie and Bertholdi carrying armfuls
Of her dresses from the closets In her
room up 10 the attic, where the last
OF her trunks were being packed. On
one of the many trips, nertholdi came
alone into the attic, her arms full as
usual. Before her were two trunks,
very much alike. open and nearly

Finally Del Mar reached spot on
the railroad where there were both a
curve and grade ahead. He stopped
his car and got out.
Down the road the bearded and cog.

to avoid observation. To make sure,
he drew a pocket field glass and lev.

track though he could not hear the
