Marshall, the Master Mind will
strike tonight"
In reply to the astonished inquiries
Of the detective he explained the man.
ner In which he had arrived at this
conclusion as to the plans of his
enemy.
"This man, Andrew" Marshall ven,
tured, "is the Master Mind, as you be.
heve-and l, too, for the matter of
! that. Now, he has arranged to leave
here tomorrow, along with his real
employers as they pretend to be- Mr.
and Mrs. Blount, and their son, Walter
1t seems likely to me that there's some
close relation here between this Master
Mind and the Blounts. He's not the
man to be really servant to folks
like that, eh? And so there's your
wife, their daughter. They all seem
to be mixed up together In this thing"
Wainwright turned away with a
brief good night.
"But surely" Marshall exclaimed,
greatly astonished, you're not going to

"Why notT he questioned, with en-
tire sincerity.

Wainwright shrugged his shoulders.
Il can't very well hide from the fel-

was the gruff announcement.
Again Wainwright shook his head.
I'VE can do nothing whatever until
he shows his hand. Good night
Marshall was still staring at the
doorway through which the master OF
the house had disappeared when he
was startled by the sudden coming Of
Andrew.
"Well, what do you want?" Marshall
demanded
Andrew answered in way that was
dlsconcerting to his questoner.

raising his eyes and meeting the others

ITO be quite frank, sir, am aware
that you are detective"
"Well, what of that?" Marshall de-
manded, still brusquely, but with n
lively curiosity as to the outcome of

CHAPTER XII.
Tho Unmasking.

TNHE detective and Wainwright
now sat rigid and staring in a
silent wonder, touched with an
A almost supersttious fear. For
long minutes there was not word
between them, nor any movement.
1t was Wainwright who at last took
the initiative. OF a sudden he aroused
himself to cast the tOrpor Of dread
from his spirit. He was brave man,
and he had only contempt for the
weakness into which he had been sur
prised by this uncanny trick in the
presentation Of the black card. Here
finally was a new point for concentra
ton Of his intellect on the mystery
He felt curious sense Of relief as the
thought occurred to him, and forth
with his keen mind began to concern
itself with the facts In the event and
to reason from them.
He relaxed his posture and looked
up at the detective sharply His voice
was crisp.
Marshall he said rapidly, "just
before dinner had this very book In
my hands, reading from 1t certain
quotation. The black card was not
there then" He laid the card within
the volume. "See" he continued. 1T
is longer than the leaves. 1t must
project beyond them, Had 1t been In

The detective nodded agreement.

this house, my own house-tonight.
And this card means that the end Is
at hand Yes, and the man himself
Is here to fulfill his promise to me. In
my own home-tonlght"
"But how? What do you expect2"
'If knew that l might plan to pre-
vent him." Wainwright answered short

She shook her head slowly in dreary
negation.
NO. she answered forlornly, "they

lesson at last. You were wrong in
what you tried to teach me. l know
1t now, when it Is too late. / should
have followed my conscience" She
threw herself back and sat huddled In
utter detection. 1T would have been
better" she murmured brokenly, al
most inaudibly, "better for Cortland
and me, If we had never met again."
The Master Mind perceived that for
the time being her feeling had carried
her beyond his control He waited pa.
tlently until the violence of her grief
should have spent itself. Then after
a time he assailed her ruthlessly from
a new point Of attack. The very diff
Guilty of his task provoked him to
harsher endeavor, unweakened by sym
pathy.
"Lucene," he said earnestly, if it
We're to become necessary In order to
save your husband from public dis
grace you would be willing to do some
thing otherwise wholly repulsive to
your every instinct, would you not"
The girl opened her eyes and looked
up at him with new questioning Of
dread in her gaze. "If there were no
other way to save him from disgrace
you would even pretend to go away
with this fellow Creegan, wouldn't
your" There was long pause, In
which she continued to stare at him
with an ever increasing horror as Il
tague understanding Of his meaning
crept into her consciousness. "Wouldn't
you? | mean II 1t should be absolutely
necessary In order to stop Creegan's
mouth. Why, with ten words to the
newspaper reporters about you and the
Blounts he cpuld ruin your husbands

Is your love strong enough to rise to
that supreme height Of martyrdom
wherein you would not only sacrifice
yourself In silence, but so blacken your
character that he would gladly let you
go9 Is your love so strong, LuceneT
There was no answer. The distract
ed girl remained covering under a
crushing weight Of horror. And yet
despite the despair that famed In her
breast, some secret prompting stirred
her toward acqulescence. That single
word "martyrdOm" had set her spirit
fermenting for sacrifice. In the heart
Of her was the eternal yearnIng of the

Mecca For suffraoists and Antis.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE White

leaders Of both camps in the fight for
suffrage. The first delegation received
by the president came from the Ma

Dodge. Of New York, Its president.
Several hundred members Of the

Association. under the leadership Of

Mrs. Dodge thanked the president for
having declared that suffrage was an
issue which the states: rather than con-
gress, should determine. The president
made no response and the 200 women
of the party began shaking hands as
soon as Mrs. Dodge had finished.
