At that moment the maid was adj
hitting a messenger with basket OF
fruit.
For Miss Hargreave," said he. He
gave the basket to the maid, touched
his cap awkwardly, and swung on his
heel, closing the door behind him. He
was in a hurry to deliver another
message.
20, what lovely fruit" cried Susan,
pausing. 'Tm going to steal one,
she laughed. She selected a peach
and began eating it on the way up to
her room.
The maid passed on into the library
whats this?" inquired Florence, as
the maid held out the basket. She
selected a peach and was about to set
her white teeth into it when Jim in
terposed. T''v',''''e-''
"Wait a moment, dear" Florence
lowered the peach. Jim turned to the
maid. VINO sent II!
II don't know, sir. A messenger
brought it, saying it was for Miss
Hargreave."
LET me see if there is a card. +"
But Jim searched in vain for the card
of the donor. At once all his suspi'
cions arose. Don't touch them. Bet

not be the healthiest thing in the
world"
What do you think?"
"That in all probability they are poi

"Horrible!" Florence shuddered

alive"

gloomily. "They may have learned
that they cannot beat us, no matter

Some one cried!"

about motors. she threw on the
power and headed straight toward the
rowboat. The men shouted at her,
but she did not alter her course. The
rowboat had its sides crushed in and
the men went piling into the water.
"Jim," she cried.
Norton suddenly flung off Braine and
began to swim madly for the motor
boat, which Florence had brought
about. Even then it was only by the
barest luck in the world that Norton
managed to catch the gunwale. The
rest of it was simple. When they
finally reached haven, Florence, odd
ly enough, thought of the horse she
had leftetethered nine miles from the
stables. She laughed Historically.
II guess he won't die. We can send
someone out for him. Now, for heav-
ems sake, how did you get into this?

Florence, weak as she was, set hel
lips.
"You don't ask for mercy" he said
banteringly.
IT should be wasting my breath to
ask for mercy from such a monster as
you are" she answered quickly.
"That damned Hargreave nerve!"
he snarled.
He rolled up his sleeves and stepped
toward her. She braced herself but
did not turn her eyes from his. Sud
denly, from nowhere at all, came a
pair Of hands. One clutched the gun
vale and the other laid hold Of Braine.
A quick pull followed, and Braine be-
gan to topple. But even as he tell
he managed to fling himself atop his
assailant; and it was only when the
struggle began in the water that ne
recognized the reporter. All the devil
in him came to the surface and ne
fought with the fierceness of tiger

Norton recognized that he had a
large order before him to disable
Braine. The recognition between
them was now frank and absolute;
there could never again be any diplo-
matte sidestepping.

painted Braine as he reached for the
reporters throat.
Norton said nothing, but struck the
hand aside. For moment they both
went under. They came up sputter-

Florence could do nothing. The

"And what the devil is that?" he
asked, irritably.
eve were in too much of hurry
at the beginning. Hargreave prepared
himself for quick action on your part.
"And if had not acted quickly he
would have started successfully on one
Of his world tours again, and that
would have been the last of him, and
we should never have learned of the
girls existence. So there's your argu-
ment."
Perhaps you are right. But for
all that we have not played the game
with any degree Of finesse."
'Bah!" Braine lit a cigarette and
smoked nervously. Il can't even get
rid of that meddling reporter. He has
been as much to blame for our fall
ures as either Jones or Hargreave.
l admit that in his case judged
hastily. I believed him to be just an
ordinary newspaper man, and he was
clever enough to lull my suspicious.

she asked after a pause

Braine proceeded to move the launch
in the direction of the girl. 1t was
this movement that turned the report
er's gaze. He, too, now saw the wom-

she had come there. When Braine
reached the girl and pulled her into

close to the fame. Gradually, almost
imperceptibly, letters began to form on

You're a clever man, Jones" said
Jim.
Jones turned upon him, his face
