tails as better than. what her own eyes
told her she had seen and done.
'Then wait for half an hour" he
answered, without arguing further.
''You can do that without exciting
suspicion. Then go with her to her
hotel and hand her over the money. "
"All right-Fll do it." she agreed.
What is the hotel?"
Craig wrote on slip of paper what
she told him Room 509, Hotel La
Coste."
Hastily he threw on his street coat.

brace and bit, Walter, he said
/ did so. When / returned I saw
that he had placed the detectascope
and some stuff in bag. He showed
in the brace and bit also.
Come on-hurry!" he urged.
We must have made record time in
getting to the La Coste. 1t was an or
nate place, where merely to breathe
was expensive We entered, and by
some excuse Kennedy contriVed to
get past the yigilant bell-hops. We
passed the telephone switchboard and
entered the elevator, getting OF at
the fifth floor.
With a hasty glance up and down
the corridor, to make sure no one was
about, Kennedy came to Room sos,
then passed to the next room, Sill,
opening the door with skeleton key.
Quickly Craig went to the door
which led to the next room. It was,
of course, locked also He listened a
moment carefully Not sound. Quick
ly, with an exclamation of satisfac-
ton, he opened that door also and
went into 500. -
= This room was much like that in
which we had already been. He
opened the hall door.
Watch here. Walter" he directed.
Let me know at the slightest alarm"
Craig had already taken the brace
and bit from the bag and started to
bore through the wall in Room 511,
selecting spot behind a picture of a
Spanish dancer-a spot directly back
of her swapping black eyes. He fin
ished quickly and inserted the detecta-
scope so that the lens fitted as an eye
in the picture. The eye-piece was In
room Sill. Then he started to brush
up the pieces of plaster on the floor.
Craig" l whispered hastily as
heard an elevator door, someone's
coming"
He hurried to the door and looked.
There they are, he said, as he saw
Elaine and Mary rounding the corner
Of the hall.

At home at last, Elaine sank down
into deep library chair and stared
straight ahead. She saw visions of
arrest and trial, of the terrible cleo
trio chair with herself in it, bound,
and of the giving of the fatal signal
for turning on the current.
Were such things as these going to
happen to her, without Kennedy's
help? Why had they quarreled? She
buried her face in her hands and wept.
Then she could stand it no longer.
She had not taken of her street
clothes. She rose and almost fled
