The fake gypsy was looking eagerly
about the room, apparently 1or
means of escape. Just then Jennings
hurried in.
Jennings" cried Aunt Josephine,
"seize that woman!"
AS Jennings approached her, the
gypsy suddenly developed a remark

that sent him Keeling. His foot caught
on the edge of the fountain and ne
staggered a minute, unable to recover
his balance, then, with a great Splash,
fell in. The gypsy turned and lied
through the palms, Elaine and Aunt
Josephine following her.
She ran as far as she could, coming

the inner end of the conservatory.
Further retreat was impossible. she
seized little rustic chair and
dashed it through the glass. Cautious
ly. she managed to make her way
through the opening she had broken.
Jennings had, by this time. picked
himself out of the fountain and drip
ping, joined Elaine and Aunt jose
phine in the chase. Out in the garden
at last, the gypsy dropped down De-
hind a thick bush.
At that moment a cab pulled up
furiously before the house, and Ken
nedy leaped out and rushed in. Inc
gypsy had gained just time enough.
If she had gone on Kennedy might
have seen her.
The others were, apparently, look
ing for her in every direction except
the right one. She saw her chance
Stealthily she managed to slip out OF
the garden by the back way.
AS kennedy dashed down the hall
and into the library he met Elaine's
maid, Marie, as pale as a ghost.
'For heavens sake, Marie, he
painted, where are they all?"
I'm the conservatory, SIR she point
ed. Didn't you hear the glass break?'
"Glass?" he repeated, running ahead
of her now.
Kennedy came upon Elaine, Aunt

Where did she go-that way?'
asked Jennings.

Craig. LET her go-you missed her
anyway. But, Elaine-ten me-what
happened?'
| Aunt Josephine reached down and
picked up the handkerchief she had
torn from Elaine's eyes. "She bound
it over her eyes," she explained to
Craig.

something concealed in it and did not
find it. Perplexed, he looked first
from Elaine then to Aunt Josephine.
Are you looking for the gypsy's
handkerchief" Elaine asked finally,
seeing his establishment. Then she
stopped and picked up another hand
kerchief from the floor. Here it is.
It didn't look very clean, SO when she
wasn't looking I dropped it and used
my own"

lief. He took the other handkerchief
and rapidly ran his hand over it. At
last he came to little hard lump in
the hem. He ripped it open. There
was the little tube Of radium!
You're lucky he exclaimed. eff
you had had that tube over your eyes
it would have done it's work in few
minutes. You might not feel it for
some time, but you would have been
blinded at least in a few days, If not
hours"
Both Elaine and Aunt Josephine
were overcome as they thought Of
the peril from which Elaine had been
SO narrowly rescued. Even Kennedy
could not restrain a shudder. For
the moment he forgot even about
Inez. Then, suddenly, he recollected.
"Oh, by the way" he exclaimed,
"Ive had Walter take a woman over
to the laboratory. He must be there
by this time. I wish that you would
get your things on and go over with
me. I think that you can help me get
something out of her She's as cool,
calm and calculating as sphinx. But
I have scheme that may lead us at
last ND to this devilish Chinaman.'
Elaine motioned to Marie and, when
the maid returned, hurried into her

that Elaine was safe that they startec

Left alone with Inez, I began to
follow out Kennedy's instructions.
Come" I menaced with the gun.

with me. One word on the way anu
I'll have you arrested at once. Otner-

appeared, she emerged and cautiously
followed us.
In spite of my fears IneZ went with
out a scene to the laboratory. We
entered, I, at least, not knowing that
a pair of black eyes watched every
movement. The fake gypsy saw us
go in, then hastily came out OF door
way into which she had slipped and
hurried downtown.
Tt was not long after arrived, how
ever, that Kennedy and Elaine joined
me at the laboratory. Kennedy had
evidently carefully prepared just what
he intended to do. Quickly he forced
Inez into the chair which he had al
ready shown Elaine, and fastened the
straps about her arms.
