derstood that he had been outplayed
through bit of carelessness!
| Bruce's taxi whirled away. Baird
and Hunt and Storm piled into the
next taxi and gave chase. Bruce had
scheme. If he could have succeed
ed in putting it over it would have
been brilliant scheme. To lure the
three into the pleasant confines of
DR.. Munn'S sanitarium for the in
sane! Once there they would leave
only feet foremost-dead
He reached the sanitarium The pur-
suing taxi was but three minutes be-
hind. Bruce reused the men in the
office, explaining hurriedly what was
going to happen. Baird was first at
the door. The attendant put up
fight, Then the doctor and another
attendant hove in sight and Baird was
used roughly. 1t is quite possible that
he might have gone out feet foremost
had not Hunt and Storm burst through
window which was not barred. A
fine shindy followed and presently
Storm and Hunt had the affair in their
hands.
From somewhere above came
piercing cry
"A fake insane asylum III bet YOU"
cried Hunt. Come on! There goes
the cry again"
They heard the sputter of motor
Bruce flying back to town again
but they gave it no heed. Upstairs they
ran.
Help Help"
THAT voice!" murmured Storm. his
heart threatening to leap from his
breast
They came to the door, smashed it
in; and pale wan, hungry girl collap-
sed as Storms arms flew around her.
Hunt found Henry Howard; but the
mine superintendent was beyond help
They had really starved him to death:
and he died in Hunts arms while vain

uncut state. Baird was permitted to
mold the stone, and to his eyes it did
! not seem possible tina his dull crys-
/ tai was of that precious type which
sparkled and scintillated around wo-
mems threats and fingers.
Then came Bruce, and Baird rec
ogniZed him at once. What was he
doing here, in the office? Bruce was,
in fact, going over the same books he
had already gone over. The clerk
was good chap. Evidently he was
not divulging Biard's presence to Mr..
| Bruce.
When the latter heard of the big
stone, he cabled Radcliffe he news.
And Baird cabled Hunt that Bruce
had it. Legally the gem had to be
turned over to Bruce. All Baird's
papers called for was the right to
look over the company books So
Bruce Tocketed the istone, already
| finding in his mind future purchaser
Some one was going to buy an unreg-
istered stone for about fifteen thou
sand dollars less than he would pay
| supposing the stone came through the
Irregular channels of trade.
That night Bruce went to the trou-
| BILE of hiding the find. All the while
Baird's eyes were at the window. In
other words, the smuggler was in
| danger of being struggled. Baird, hav-
ing ascertained the exact hiding place
| of the precious lump of crystal, got
into his travelling clothes, packed his
cases, got horse and carriage to carry
| him to the nearest railroad, then wait
ed until Bruce fell asleep, which was
soon, having been generous with whis-
| ky "pegs" that night. Baird knew all
about raising windows: he had been
| taught in an expert school He enter
ed Bruce's room, took the diamond
from its hiding place-and stumbled
against a chair Bruce awoke. He
saw the dim form and plunged to-
ward it courageously. Baird ducked
and leaped out the window. A bull
let sang past his ears. He slowed
away his stolen goods" in the left side
pocket of his trousers, climbed aboard
the carriage and babe the kaffir to
drive like blazes for the station.
Two days later Bruce booked for
home on the same boat with Baird,
who passed him on the promenade, sat
near him in the dining salon, exchang-
ed ideas about the weather in the
slightest suspicion that this pleasant
stranger had done him up brown"
Before the final landing the two be-
came quite chummy And every night
when he retired to his bunk, Baird let
go his chuckles. 1t was as good as
a play. On the other hand. Bruce
never dropred the least word concern
ing his affairs. And whisky and cham
pagne acted as clamp to his lips. 1t
would all make corking good special
| for the Sunday edition
| And now, to smuegle the gem in
himself!
He kent 1t in his pocket until his
cases were examined then with bit
1 of legerdemain slipped the stone into
one of the cases. And Bruce saw

A RAID ON A MADHOUSE

When John Storm realized that Zu-
dora was gone, abducted in her night
gown, with only a comfort to shield
her from the cold, he was stunned. And
he had laughed at her for her fore
bodings, her talk about evil stars. Who
could have done it? Where could they
have taken her? We're the diamond
people back of it? Was this move in
tended to brighten Zudora or really
make away with her? He was in a
state of collapse, and of half mind to
start out and just hunt for the woman
he loved, having neither direction nor
plan of action. He only sensed the
feeling that she needed him and that he
must go to her.
Then his gaze happened to fall to
the floor, where it rested upon an en-
velope. Absent mindedly he stopped
and picked it up, but without glancing
at the superscription They might be

the gems elswehere.
You never can tell" laughed Rad
cliffe.
I'VE haven't got the gems yet" said
Madam wisely
African" cried Baird, when Hunt
outlined his plans. That's long
way from home. A ten weeks job at
| least"
Its necessary job, my boy. Fifty
a week and all your expenses; and il
everything turns out all right, hand
some bonus. And think of the story
you'll be able to put over"
I'll go. When do | start?"
Tomorrow at noon. Liverpool. You
will be there one day. then you sail
for Cape Town. Fast boat. A week
or ten days will be sufficient to cover
the work. Then hike home"
Tomorrow? Wow You're the lit
tie speed king, Hunt. All right. I'll
be at the dock tomorrow noon. You
bring along the tickets and money.
No time for any letter Of credit. I've
always wanted to so to Africa, any
how"
That's the kind of talk Facts; get
facts. Storm, here, will furnish you
with papers of authority. You will
get them fixed up through the Ameri-
can consulate. Now, you, Storm, take
photograph of Zudora to police head
quarters. Not that | expect anything
from that quarter; but they'll come in
handy when we play the grand slam.
I'm going to take a look at our friend
Bruce"
10 lot Jo1
away: and Storm and Hunt settled
down to the grim business of watching
two men. But these two men scented
danger. They never went near the
sanitarium. The telephone saved them
the trouble. Each day they knew just
how Zudora had passed the day before.
There was still no sign of weakening
on her part They dared not grow
impatient When they learned that
the girl had tricked them regarding
the hiding place of the diamonds, they
shifted her diet to bread and water
twice day They dared not go too
far AS Howard the mine superin-
tendent, they had set about to starve
him gradually. They were not par
ticular whether he died or not under
the treatment
DAYS passed, days became weeks.
Storm and Hunt worked with extraor-
binary care, but the hiding place the
rogues had selected for Zudora was
not to be found Hunt had seen Bruce
the smuggler, no more for some time,
and upon investigation learned that
Bruce had also gone to Africa Would
he recognize Baird if they ran across
each other? Whatever happened,
Baird had the advantage of being first
on the spot.
Meantime Baird arrived at the mines
and afer his documents were shown
was given the run of the office. 1t
was all very novel and interesting to
the late understudy to Hassam Ali
He had always loved color So he
donned the habiliments of boss min
err, ami when his books were made m
ne spent the balance of his time in
the mines to see how 1t was done. One
day he saw what is rarely given to
man to see. the finding of big stone
