CHAPTER XIV.
Another Trap Set.

If he truth is to be told, Jones was
as deeply chagrined over the outcome
of the counterfeit deal as was Braine.
They had both failed signally to reach
the goal sought. But this time the or
ganization had broken even with Jones,
and this fact disturbed the butler. 1t
might signify that the turning point
had been reached, and that in the fu-
ture the good luck might swing over to
the side of the Black Hundred. Jones
r~edoubled his cautions, reiterated his
warnings. and slept less than ever.
Indeed, as he went over the ground
he conceded a point 10 the Black Hun
dred. He would no longer be able
to keep tab on the organization. They
had deserted their former quarters
absolutely. Tn" agent of whom they
had leased the building knew nothing
except that he would have to repair
the place. The rent had been paid a
year in advance as 1t had been these
last eight years He had dealt through
an attorney who knew no more OF his
clients than the agent. So it will be
seen that Jones had in reality received
a check.
More than all this, 1t would give his
enemies renewed confidence; and this
vas a deeper menace than he cared
to face. But he went about his af-
fairs as usual, giving no hint to any
one 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 Quilted building.

die. He turned this over to the secret

he led his prisoners away directly.
Norton and his men had to wait far
into the night. The Black Hundred
did not intend to make any mistake
this time by a hasty move. At quarter
after ten they descended. Braine was
not 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,
examining floors and walls, opening
books. pulling out drawers, but they
found nothing. They talked freely.
however, and the dictagraph regis
tered every word. The printing plant,
which had so long defied discovery,
was in the cellar of the house occ

and his men determined to follow and
raid the building. And the reporter
promised himself a good front page

with his promises to Jones.

The trailing was not the easiest thing.
Norton knew about where the build

he had been flung that memorable
day when he had been shanghaied.

warned the men to hug the wall to the

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 beef a
bit of wild luck and not a precon-
ceived plan. Braine was out of reach
for the present. so he began the search
for the man Vroon. He haunted the
water front saloons for a week with.

He did not know that ii was the
policy Of the Black Hundred to lay low
for a month after a raid of such a
serious character. So the Hargreave
menage had thirty days of peace;

part of the game. He did not care to

Norton went back to the primrose
paths Of love: and sometimes he would
forget all about such a thing as the
Black Hundred. So the summer DAYS
went by, with the lilacs and the roses
empowering the Hargreave home. But
Norton took note of the fact that
Florence was no longer the light
hearted schoolgirl he had first met.
Her trials had made a serious woman
of her. and perhaps this phase was all
the more enchanting to him, who had
his serious side also. Her young mind
