Hargreave covered q good deal of
ground, but during all this time his
right hand never left the automatic in
his overcoat pocket, except at those
moments when he was obliged to sign
his checks. He would shoot and make
inquiries afterward.
Far away young girl and her
companion got on the train which was
to carry her to New York, the great
dream city she was always longing to
see.
And the spider wove his web.
Hargreave reached home at night.
He put the money in the safe and was
telephoning when Jones entered and
handed his master an unstamped note.
where did you get this?"
"At the door, sir. Judge that the
house is surrounded"
Hargreave read the note. 1t stated
briefly that all his movements during
the day had been noted. 1t was known
that he had collected million in pa
per money If he surrendered this he
would be allowed twenty-four hours
before the real chase began. Other
wise he should die before midnight.

Hargreave's glance sought the mir

man. He laughed, but the sound con-
veyed no sense of mirth; then he
turned and went down the steps slow
ly, like a man burdened with some
thought which was not altogether to
his liking. He had sent an order for

life In exchange for eternal vigilance,
and he knew and accepted the fact.
Half an hour later he got into

was the longest time he had ever re-
NAMED in New York since the dis
posal of his old home In Madison
avenue and his resignation from his
clubs. This once, then, he would break
the law he had written down for
himself. Boldly he entered the res
taurant.
Some time before Hargreave sur
rendered to the restless spirit of re-
beliion bitterly to repent for 1t later,
there came into this restaurant a man
and a woman. They were both evil
IDENTIFY well known, for the head waiter
was obsequious and hurried them over
to the best table he had left and took
the order himself
The man possessed keen, inte1li-
gent face. You might have marked
him for a successful lawyer, for there
was an earnestness about his express
sion which precluded life OF idle
ness. His age might have been any,
where between 40 and SO. The shout
ders were broad and the hands which
lay clasped upon the table were slim
but muscular. Indeed, everything
about him suggested hidden strength
and vitality. His companion was
small, handsome, and animated. Her
frequent gestures and mutable eye
brows betrayed her foreign birth Her
age was matter of Importance to no
one but herself.
They were at coffee when she said:
There's a young man coming toward
us. He is looking at you.''
The man turned. Instantly his face
lighted up with a friendly smile Of
recognition.
''Who is it," she asked.

"Ah!" said the princess, interested.
1t was the old compliment, said in an
unusual way. 1t pleased her.
The reporter sank into chair,

salt and pepper hair. The man had
written three or four brilliant mono
graphs on poisons and the uses of
radium, and it was through and by
these that the reporter had managed
to pick up his acquaintance. He lived
well, but inconspicuously.
Suddenly the pupils of Braine's
eyes narrowed; the eye became cold.
Over the smoke of his cigarette he
was looking into the wall mirror. A
man had passed behind him and sat
down at the next table Still gazing
snta the mirror. Braine saw Norton

And Hargreave was working out his

library table, the maxillary muscles
in his jaws working. So they had found

VALENTINES DAY

St. Valentines used to be quite a holiday. It was a day principally for what is called "ca1f love" Young folks of 12 to 20, in the early stages of sentiment, thought long and ar dently upon the valentine offering to be sent to their best friend.
 Stocks of rival stores were carefully compared to find the most affection ate sentiments in the most beautiful setting. Posting the n1issfve was an anxious moment With what embar- rassed ardor a fellow awaited his next sight of his adored one, to see how she took itI
 Today Valentine seems to be mostly a kid saint. Vealy love seems per haps not quite so common as it was. The kidlets are so busy playing games and attending their little clubs, that precocious sex sentiment may be a little weaker. Popular youngsters get their valentine reminders by the doz- en, and the@ mante1 piece looks quite gay with this exchange of juvenile courtesies.
