At Blye's club the Limousine stopped,
while the black SVandyked man alight.
ed. June smiled as she babe hin, good
night. but she was very thoughtful
nevertheless and troubled. Blye stood
on the steps Of the club and gazed
after the receding car with smile OF
satisfaction.
The limousine sped on to the address
which Blye had given the driver. June
studied the house earnestly. 1t was a
smart looking building. The windows
were brilliantly lighted. and In the par-
lor were three young ladies in rather
striking evening dress. June gave the
driver the address of a modest hotel.
Halfway to their destination June
changed her mind. The modest hotel.
she remembered. had a blazing lobby.
and there was no way to pass In or out
without being stared at. She gave the
driver another address. Marie saw
June's panic in her face. She found
the little hands Of June cold with
nervous collapse.
"East!' she snapped to the driver.
Il don't know the number. III tell
you when we get there"
A few minutes later they stopped in
front Of dingy looking building with
| no light in the vestibule. Marie jump
ed out and rang the doorbell. A wom-
an came to the door. They exchanged
Il few brief words, and Marie ran down
to the limousine. ..
Its all right, JUNE. Mrs. Boales

cot for me-
June stepped from the car with a
sigh OF relief. A home of any sort was
welcome now. 1t had been a long and
exciting day.
II know the room. Miss June" said
Marie. sweeping past with her arms
full Of fut1les.
,
Blye was in front of his club with a
gray mustached, jovial looking. pink
faced man when the car returned.
Where did you take her. Scatti?''
Blye asked.
"She wouldn't stop at Mother Rus

ham,
There was no number on the house,
boss, but can find it."
Drive us there" directed Blye.
Down on the dingy east side street he
tried earnestly to pin down Scatti'S
dizzied memory. Up and down Blye
moved. seeking in every window for
some sign Of the runaway bride. Sud
denly his eye caught the CLINT OF some
thing in vestibule. He ran up the
steps. The glittering object was a
buckle on dainty little slipper, one
which June's collie had carried down
to the taxi for her when she had stolen
her clothes and Marie from her ia
theirs house. He jotted the number

There was knock at the door.
Three detectives had come from a pri-
