men seized her and placed her IN the
bottom of the car. which was covered.

coming out of room %. He slid into
an angle and hid.
It was Del Mar and the woman he
had seen at the bungalow. They
passed by without discovering him,
nor could he make out anything that
they said. What mischief was afoot?
Where was Elaine?
He ran to the door and tried it. 1t
was locked. Quickly he took from his
pocket a skeleton key and unlocked
it. There was Elaine's hat and dress
lying in a heap on the bed. But she
was not there. He was now thor
oughly alarmed.
She could not have passed him In
the hall. Therefore she must have
gone or been taken out through the
window. That would never have been

things there.

How long she lay there she never

attracted no great attention. and in the
forenoon she quietly went in her mo-

II was Madame Larenz, one of Del
Mars secret agents, who, up to this
time, had been engaged in spying on
wealthy and impressionable American
manufacturers.
Her airing brought her finally to
the bungalow of Del Mar. and there
she was admitted in a manner that
showed that Del Mar trusted her
highly.

minutes chat, Il want you to get &C

A few minutes later the woman left
in her car, 80 rapidly driven that no
one would recognize her.
II was early in the afternoon that
Aunt Josephine was sitting on the
veranda when an automobile drove uI
and q very stylishly gowned and bon

One of the delightful features of

dancer, in a revival of one of Mr.
Morison's dance features. Miss

also be seen in dancing specialties.
At the matinee performances Miss
