ately after dinner.

Florence.
Very near the end"
And shall see my father?"
Jones bent his head IF we sue
ceed
There is danger?" thinking of her
lover
There is always danger when /
leave this house. So be good" the but
Ter added with a smile
And Jim?
Gle has proved that he can take
care of himself
Tell him to be very careful"
"Tll do so. but It will not be neces-
sary;" and with this Jones set forth
upon what he considered the culminat-
ing adventure.
The usual brilliant crowd began to
pour into the opera Braine took his
stand by the entrance He waited a
long time, but his patience was re-
warded A limousine drove up and
out of the door came his man, who
looked about with casual interest He
dismissed the limousine, which
wheeled slowly around the corner
where it could be conveniently parked.
Then Servan entered the opera.
Braine hurried around to the limou-
sine. The lights, save those demand-
ed by traffic regulations, were out.
The chauffeur was huddled in his seat.
MY man. said Braine, would you
like to make some money!
How much?" listlessly The voice
was mufied.
Twenty"
Good night, sir"
Fifty"
Good night and good morning."
"a hundred"
"Now you've got me interested.
What kind Of a Joy ride do you wantg"
"No Joy ride Listen"
Briefly the conspirator outlined his
needs, and finally the chauffeur
nodded Five twenties were pressed
into his hand and he curled up in his
seat again.
Servan entered his box In the box
next to his sat a handsomely gowned
young woman. He threw her an idle
glance, which was repaid in kind.
Later, Braine came in and sat down
beside Olga.
Everything looks like plain sail
ing" he whispered.
Olga shrugged slightly.
During the intermission between the
first and second acts, Servan took the
rear chair of his box, near the cur
tains. Braine, watching with the eyes
of lynx, suddenly observed the cur
tains stirring. A hand was thrust
through In that hand was a packet oil
papers. With seeming indifference
Servan reached back and took the pa
pers, slowing them away in a pocket.
Braine rose at the beginning of the
second act.
where are you going?" asked Olg'
nervously
ITO see Otto"
A bold attempt was made to rol
Servan while in the box, but the time
ly arrival of jim frustrated this plan
So Braine was forced to rely on tn
chauffeur of the limousine
AS Farrars last thrilling note die'
away Braine and Olga rose.
BE careful And come to the apart
ments just as soon as you can"
"IT be careful" Braine declared cas-
