To call up doctors would be utter

Braine. Il should have advised Miles
to stalk him and pot him If he got the
chance There's q master mind work

time woke up to the fact. But you.

Later Braine sauntered into Pabst
and ordered a light supper. This
nights work, more than anything else,
brought home to him the fact that his
luck was changing. For years he had
proceeded with his shady occupations
without encountering any memorable
failure He moved In the high world,
quite unsupported. He had written
books, given lectures, been made hon
of, all the while laughing In his sleeve
at the gullibility of human nature. But
within the last two weeks he had re-
ceived serious checks. From now on
he must move with the utmost caution.
Some one was playing his own game,
waging warfare unseen. A battle OF
wits? So be it; but Braine intended
to play with rough wits, and he wasn't
going to care which way the sword
cut.
He hated Stanley Hargreave with all
the hatred of his soul; the hatred OF q
man baked in love. And the man was
alive, defying him; alive somewhere
in this city this very night, with bull
let under his skin.
SIS everything satisfactory, sir?" he
heard the head waiter say.
Satisfactory" Braine repeated
blankly.
yes, sir. You struck the table as
though displeased."
"Oi" Then Braine laughed relieved

unconsciously. l was thinking"

"Your master gives riding lessons"
The groom who had led the horse
back from Hargreave's eyed his ques-
toner rather superciliously.

mails legs
How much Is it?'
Twenty dollars for ticket Of five

here. He doesn't cater to any but the

Pretty steep. Who was that young
lady riding this morning with your
master?
That's the girl all the newspapers
have been talking about" answered
the groom Importantly.
"Actress?'

young woman is the daughter OF STAN

Jones held out his hand.

When all three finally met at the

took Jones by the shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Jones started back, pale and dis
turbed.
Norton laughed. He did not feel

to leave Florence alone, and that he

from his mind at the thought of hre-

wheeled and started on at breakneck

Florence naturally wondered which
