Hunt worked diligently the rest Of
that day. but when he saw Storm that
night he kept silent When the proper
time came he would have a surprise for
the young lawyer
When the clothes came to Zudora she
experienced the first bit of pleasure
since her Imprisonment. Clean clothes
to dainty woman such as she was
meant pleasure under any circum-
stance. She came upon the white
thread and eyed 1t wonderingly There
had been no tear In that skirt the last
time She had worn It. And Mrs Ram
sey certainly would not have used
white thread Her heart bounded.
She felt the crinkle of paper under her
fingers. In less than a moment she
had the note In her trembling bands.
She read 1t, then destroyed 1t and hid
the bits OF paper In the four corners
Of the room. Hunt would find her.
The reaction caused her to break down
and weep.
The old bag heard the sound, but &C
credited 1t to bit Of sentimentalism.
Hunt did not 90 directly to the ship
dock. Instead he engaged motorboat
and Il dinghy Even Baird was curious
to learn what was going to happen.
I'm not saying Il word; just wait
There may be trouble, but | want the
biggest trouble out of the way first"
"You know where Zudora Is. and we
are going for herr cried Storm.
Hunt shrugged and gave the engi
neer orders. They left the motorboat
about quarter Of mile off the island
and rowed toward shore In the dinghy
Zudora was always looking out Of
the window, and when she espied the
dinghy and moment later recognized
a familiar head she almost tainted with

Zudora and all things belonging
to her were nicely hidden out of sight.
He re urned to the city disconsolate.
He LEI work go and haunted the office
Of Hunt for the greater part OF each
day. But Hunt was still In Africa or
was OIL the high seas.
And when Baird and Hunt did re
turn, as recounted In the pre- eding
chapter, they learned that they had
been Iicely fooled, Radcliffe had not
left A rica at all, but had DECIDED to
remain at the mines until he had fully
recove ed from his injuries In the

head while convalescing.

needed In New York. The banging up
he had received at the hands of Baird
and subsequent wreck had left him IN
n shaky way. The voyage to Africa
and back would put him firmly upon
his feet once more.
On the voyage Radcliffe took partic-

nothing and moderated his smoking,
forswore cards and went to bed early

was something like himself agaln-that
