There WI stood paying out the wire

WI faithfully paid out the wire, hop

carefully.
At last the tugglng at the spool Of
wire ceased. Three sharp jerks told
him he had succeeded. Then WI set
the transmitter in the hole in the
wall close up 10 the Dashboard, which
he had replaced.
Perhaps half an hour after our re-

to the proprietor.
NO" he replied but Long Sin is
in the other place"
A short time afterward, as they still
talked Kennedy after pausing outside
the chop suey joint, decided to enter.
While Iuez and Sam were engaged
in earnest conversation he sat down at
a table near by with his back to them.
AS nearly as he could make out,
there was a room somewhere which
was at least one headquarters of Long
Sin, if not Wu himself But it was too
risky to remain.
Around on Park row again, he
stopped in a drug store where there
was a telephone booth and called up
the agency whose operatives he had
frequently employed on routine mat.

about the note which she had received

hardly noticed that both Marie and

She had scarcely awakened from
her day dream in which she was walk

caught sight of the vase of red roses

"Who put those flowers there?' she
demanded Of the astounded butler and
maid, as she dashed them to the
floor.
Neither of them, naturally, knew a
thing about it, Nor did Aunt Joseph

room at the moment.
"Oh, l must see him-I must, +"
cried Elaine excitedly, as she hurried
out for her wraps. who knows what

Of answering me he wrote on slip of

shadowing in Chinatown for him"
1t was only a matter of a few min
utes before Chase joined Kennedy
and together they went back to China
town, Craig explaining to him in low
voice just what it was he wanted
done.
The operative furtiveIy watched
Inez and Sam talking until finally she
rose and went out by the street door.
She turned abruptly on the street and
entered a doorway that led up in the
same building, only outside.
Chase entered the dark, ill-smelling
hallway and mounted the steps eau
tiously, careful not to make them
creak. He paused at each door until
he was sure that there was no one on
the other side
At one, however, he could hear low
voices He listened a moment then
tried the knob softly. The door was
locked. Carefully he put his foot on
the knob and raised himself up by
gripping the transom.
There were Inez and Long Sin talk
ing earnestly as Inez removed her
wraps while Long Sin laid out couple
of opium pipes and cooked two pills of
the precious hop with practiced hand.
Chase let himself down as softly as
he had pulled himself up, and got
away without being seen.
Kennedy returned to the apartment
after dispatching Chase on his mis-
sion, and there | met him as soon as
I was through down at the Star office.
We were talking over our plans
when there came sudden knock at
the door. Craig opened it. 1t was
Chase.
