Most every community in the

who joined heartily in the midday
feast prepared by the hospitable
Forreston citizens. If you have ev-

Mortified.
Elaine noticed some spots on her
hands, and, seeing that they we're
stained by the blood OF Long Sin,
wiped the spots of on her handker-
chief, dropping 1t to the floor.

behind them.
1t was the servant who had come
In.
"You-kill hin,-with knife?" insin-
uated the Chinese.
Elaine was dumb. The servant did
not wait for an answer. but hastily
opened the hall door
To Elaine 1t seemed that something
must be done quickly. A moment and
all the house would be in uproar.
Instead, he placed his finger on his
lips. "Quick--no word" he said, lead
ing the way to the hall door. "and-oh,
you must not leave that-it will be

bloody handkerchief and pressing 1t
into Elaine's hand.
They quickly ran out into the hall.
"Go--quick!" he urged again, "and
hide the handkerchief in the bag. Let
no one see it,"
He shut the door. AS they hurried
away Elaine breathed sigh OF relief
They had reached the street. Afraid
to run, they hurried as fast as they
could until they turned the nrst cor

parted.

the silence, "I'll show you just what
want you to do"
He went over to the wall and took
down a curious long Chinese knife
from a scabbard which hung there
conspicuously.
"See that?" he added, holding II up.
Before she could say word he had
plunged the knife, apparently, into his
own breast.
"Ohl" cried Mary, startled.
She expected to see him fall But
nothing happened. Wong laughed. II

the blade telescoped into the handle.
Look at It," he added. handing It
to her.

from table near by and concealed It
under his coat. Now, you stab me"
he directed.
Mary hesitated. But he repeated the
command and she plunged the knife
gingerly at him. 1t telescoped. He
made her try 1t over and she stabbed

Of our conversation on blood crys-
tails, and Kennedy himself answered 1t.
1t was Elaine asking Craig's adj
vice.
They have offered to hush the
thing up for ten thousand dollars" she
said in a muffled voice.
She seemed bent on doing It, and no
amount of argument from him could
stop her. She simply refused to ac-
cept the evidence of the blood crys-
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-I'll do it," she agreed
What is the hotel?"
Craig wrote on slip OF paper what
she told him-"Room 500, Hotel La

We must have made record time In

With n low bow, Wong spread out
his hands In surrender and submission.

said at length.

Quickly Wong rehearsed what had
happened from the moment the idea
OF blackmail entered his head.

Wong gave glance of almost SUI

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 1t, 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 1t no longer.
She had not taken of her street
clothes. She rose and almost fed
from the house.

received second visit from Mary.
