the letter exactly where she found it
and trust to luck.

CHAPTER Kill.

AN Agent From Russia.
Inc Black Hundred, not as individu-
ais but as an organization, began to
Worry. Powerful, and often reckless
and daring because it was powerful
1t began to look about for some basic
cause for all these failures against
Hargreave's daughter and Hargreave's
ghost. They had tried to put the in
qu1sitlVe reporter out of the way; they
mad laid every trap they could think
Of to catch the mysterious visitor at
The Hargreave home; they had thrown
out a hundred lures to bring Har-
greave out of his lair, and failed; and
they had lost a dozen valuable men
and several thousand dollars. This
must end somewhere, and quickly.
The one ray of hope for the conspi-
rators lay in the fact that Florence
had never seen her father and knew
not in the least what he looked like
They determined to try again in this
direction.
'Eive it all up" Sid the countess

forgetting that he had bent humbly

Very well; go on
Thought the man at the peephole
above: There's another adage. When
thieves fall out, then honest men get
their dues. Yes, yes; proceed, pro-
ceed!"
Paroff went on. 81 shall, then, go
frankly to the Hargreave house and

Well, let's you and I see that he does

Some one sneezed, and everybody
looked at his neighbor. The sneeze
was repeated, but mufled, as if some
one was desperately anxious to avoid
sneezing.

Olga "Don't lock uni"-
Braine was cool. He walked idly

Yes; and more than that, he is

dream or suspect that you know BY
lulling her into overconfidence some
day she will naturally grow careless,
and then We'll have them all. l think

| hadn't any money, nobody would
bother me"
@'I would" he smiled. He wanted to
kiss her. but the eternal Jones might
be watching from the windows; and
so he patted her hand instead and
walked down the graveled path to
the street
1t was difficult work for Florence
to play at friendship. She was like
her father; she did not bestow it on
every one. She had given her friend
ship to the Russian, the first real big
friendship in her life, and she had
been roughly disillusioned. But if the
countess could act, so could she; and
of the two her acting was the more
consummate. She could smile and
laugh and jest, all the while her heart
was burning with wrath.
One day, a week or so after her
meeting with Norton in the summer
house, Olga arrived, beautifully
gowned, handsome as ever. There
was not the least touch of the adven-
turess in her makeup. Florence had
just received some mail, and she had
dropped the letters on the library table
to greet the countess. She had opened
them, but had not yet looked at their
contents.
They were chatting pleasantly about
inconsequent things, when the maid
came in and asked Florence to come
to Miss Susan's room for a moment.
Florence excused herself, wondering
what Susan could want She forgot
the mail
AS soon as she was gone the count,
ess, certain that Jones was not Turk
ing about, picked up the letters and
calmly examined their contents; and
among them she found this remark.

treasure over to you. Meet me at

ing father"
The countess could have laughed
aloud. She saw this man Parrots
hand; and here was the chance to be-
fool and humiliate him and send him
Off packing to his cold and miserable
country. She had made up once as
Florence, and she could easily do SO
again. The only thing that troubled
her was the fact that she did not know
whether Florence had read the letter
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1915-01-08

would not write. All, when would
she see that father of hers, so myster-
ious, always lowering near, always
unseen?
1t must have been an amusing ad-
venture for the countess. To steal
into the summer house and wait there,
not knowing if Florence had advised
jones or the reporter. If caught, she
had her excuses. Paroff, the conf
dent, however, appeared shortly after.
MY child" whispered the man.
And Olga stihed a laugh; but to
him it sounded like sob.
Il am worn out" he said. 81 am
tired Of the game of hide and seek"
YOU will not have to play the game
long, thought Olga.
THE money is hidden in my office
down town. And we must go there at
once. When we return we will pack
up and leave for Europe. I've longed
to see you SOL"
You poor foolr And they sent you
to supersede Leo!" she unused.
She played out the farce to the very
end She permitted herself to be
pinioned and logged; and for what
unnecessary. roughness she suffered
at the hands of Paroff he would pres
emily pay. He took her straight to
the executive chamber of the Black
Hundred and pushed her into the
room, exclaiming triumphantly:
Here is Hargreave's daughter!"
Indeed" said Olga, throwing back
her veil and standing revealed in her
mask.
! "Olga!" cried Braine, laughing.
And that was the inglorious end OF
the secret agent from Russia.
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1915-01-08

remembered her letters. And when
she came to the one purporting to be
from her father, she read it carefully,
bent her head in. thought, and finally
destroyed the missive, absolutely con-
fident that it was only trap, and not
very well conceived at that. Norton
had given her plenty of reason for
believing all such letters to be forger-
les. Her father, if he really wished to
see her, would enter the house; he
