CHAPTER XVII.
The Masked Ball.

About this time-that Is to say.
about the time the Black Hundred was
stretching out It's powerful secret arms
toward Norton-.there arrived in New
York city a parsonage. This person
age was the Princess Parlova, fabu.
lously rich Polish Russian. She leased
q fine house near Central park and set
about to conquer social New York.
This was not very difficult, for her
title was perfectly genuine and she
moved in the most exclusive diplo-
matte circles in Europe, which, as
everybody knows, is the most brilliant
in the world When the new home
was completely decorated, she gave
an elaborate dinner. and that attracted
the newspapers. They began to talk
about her highness, printed portraits
of her, and devoted page occasion
ally in the Sunday editions. She be-
came something OF rage. One morn
ing 1. was announced that the Princess
Pariova would give masked ball to
formally open her home to society;
and IL was this notice that first
brought the Princess Parlova under
Braine's eyes. He was at the Perigo1
apartment at the time.
"well, WE'LL" he mused aloud.
what is it," asked Olga, turning
away from the piano and ending one
of Chopin's mazurkas brokenly.
Here is the Princess Parlova In
town"
"And who is she?"
I "She is the real thing. Olga; a real
princess with vast estates in Poland
with which the greedy Slav next door
has been very gentle"
II haven't paid much attention to
the social news lately. What about
herf"
"She Is giving masked ball to for
mally open her house on the West side.
And it's going to cost pretty penny"
well. you're not telling me this to
make me want to know the princess"
said Olga. petulantly.
mo. But I'm going to give you a
letter Of introduction to her highness."
"Ohts
"And you are going to ask her to
invite two particular friends Of yours
to this wonderful ball of hers"
Indeed" ironically. "That sounds
AL very easy"
Easier than you think, my child"
II will not have you call me child"

That's better. Now. how will It be

Norton whispered: Il have made an
important discovery. We must be on
at once. Come with me-" /,
Florence, without the least suspicion
In the world. followed him up the
broad staircase. What with the many
sounds II was not to be wondered at
that the difference In the quality OF
voices did not strike Florence's ear
AZ odd. The result of her condolences
was that upon reaching the upper
halls. opposite the dressing rooms, she
was suddenly thrust into q room and
made prisoner. When the light was
turned up she recognized with horror
the woman who had helped to kidnap
her and take her away on the George
Washington weeks ago. She could not
have cried out for help II she had
tried.
Meantime Jim got up and began to
wander about In search Of Florence.
Braine played a clever game that
night He and the Russian. still DOM

house. The two alighted, the chauf-

and Braine and his companion ran
lightly down the path to the street
where the cab which had followed
picked them up.
II grew more and more evident to
Jim that something untoward had
taken place. He could not find Flor
ence anywhere, in the alcoves. In the
side rooms, the supper or card room.
Later. to his utter amazement, he was
informed that the Hargreave auto had
some time since been called and its
| owner taken home. Some one had
taken his place! n
| His first sensation was impotent
fury against Jones, who had permitted
them to play with fire. He flung out
of the mansion unceremoniously. COM

making an effort to dispel the drowsi-
ness. What time is IT." suddenly.
Midnight! Where Is she?"
| Midnight? I've been drugged!"
Without a word Jones staggered on
| to the kitchens, Jim at his heels.
There was always hot water, and
within five minutes Jones had drunk
two cups of raw strong coffee.
"Drugged!" he murmured. Some
one in the house! I'll attend to that
later. Now, the chauffeur"
But the chauffeur swore on his oath
that he had left Jim and Florence on
1 the steps of the porte cochere.
Get in!" said Jones to Norton. now
fully alive. He could not get 1t out Of
his head that some one in the house
had drugged him.
The events which followed were to
both Jones and Norton something like
a series of nightmares. In the new
home Of the Princess Parlova a bomb
exploded and fire followed the explo-
sion. From pleasure to terror is only
a step. The widest confusion mag
