Yes. there were some clever rogues

secured a taxicab and drove furiously

1t must have been an amusing ad-

house, chuckling.
In the passing it might well be OBJ
served that the Hargreave house had
q remarkable menage. There was
gardener, cook, and maid; and the
three of them reported to Jones each
night before going to bed. They were
all three detectives from one Of the
greatest organizations in America.
Finding themselves unable to lure
Florence away from the environs of
the Hargreave home, the Black Hun

new move was going to be extremely |
delicate and risky. 1t was no small
adventure to enter the Hargreave |
home; and yet this must be done. So

after the lights went out. Persons
