his gang. Countess Olga also visits the
Orient's captain, and she easily falls into
the reporters snare. The plan proves
abortive through Braine's good luck and
only hirelings fall into the hands OF the
police. After falling In their first attempt,
the Black Hundred trap Florence. They
ask her for money, but she escapes, again

Jones removes a section OF flooring and
from a cavity takes a box. Pursued by
members of the Black Hundred he PUSHES

Jones was not prepared for treach-

he heard that doctor had been called
to attend Susan he was without the
least suspicion that he had been be-
trayed. More than this, there had
been no occasion to summon a doctor
In the seven years Mr. Hargreave had
lived here. So Jones went about his
petty household affairs without more
thought upon the matter. The maid
had been recommended to him as
one of the shrewdest young women
in the detective business.
The doctor arrived. He was a rea

Braine.
The doctor laughed.

How do you know that Hargreave
may not have at his beck and call

not as large as ours?" suggested the
physician
That is not possible Braine de-

We'll, it begins to look that way

glance at the strange doctor. The shy
glance was wasted The doctor evinced
no sign that it mattered one way or
the other to him.
1T is nothing very serious now"
he volunteered. But it may turn out
serious If it is not taken care of at

good-day."
All very businesslike; not the least
cause in the world for any one to
suspect that a new trap was being
set by the snarers. The maid re-
turned to the sewing room, while
Florence coddled her companion and
made much of her.
Jones was suspicious, but dig in
his mind as he would he could find
no earthly reason for this suspicion
save that this attribute was now in
stinctive, that it was always near the
top. II Susan was Ill she must be
given good care; there was no getting
around this fact. Later, he telephoned
several prominent physicians The
strange doctor was recommended as
good ordinary practitioner and in
good standing and so Jones dismissed
his suspicious as having no hook to
hang them on.
His hair would have tingled at the
roots, however, had he known that
this same physician was one of the
two who had signed the document
which had accredited Florence with
insanity and had all but succeeded
in making a suppositlon fact. Nor
was Jones aware of the fact that the
telephone wire had been tapped re-
Gently. So when he finally concluded
to permit Florence to accompany Su-
san to Atlantic City he telephoned to
the detective agency to send up a
trusty man, who was Swallowed from
the moment he entered the Hargreave
home till he started for the railway
station. He became lost in the shut
file and was not heard from till weeks
later, in Havana. The Black Hundred
found a good profit in the shanghai
ing business.
Susan began to pick up, as they say,

City, due, doubtless, to the cessation
of the poison she had been taking
unawares. The two young women be-

They were up with the sun every day
and went to bed tired but happy No
one bothered them. If some stray re-
porter encountered their signatures on
the hotel register, he saw nothing to
excite his reportorial senses. All this,
of course, was due to Norton's policy
of keeping the affair" out of the pa
| pers.
Following Jones orders, they made
friends with none. Those about the
hotel-especially the young men
when they made any advances were
