 But the yelled woman in black had not left the park. She had merely left the park path and had crept into the shrubbery
 She sped along like a black wrath: :: noiseless, furtive, uncanny. Once she raised her right hand to part some bushes that barred her way. The hand was small, white, infinitely grace full in contour. But on its back throbbed an angry crimson scar: out lined like an irregular ring.
 Through the high bushes she crept and into tiny glade hemmed in by shrubbery. There she halted. Deftly she slipped out of the shapelessly en- veloping black coat. The coat was lined with white satin. The woman's dress also was snow white With quick skill, sine proceeded to fold the coat inside out. in such way that no portion of the black was visible Then hn Iro, white-sleeved arm. To all intents she might merely have been carrying White summer wrap that the warmth of the day rendered needless.
 Raising both hands to her head, she undid the thick black veil, took 1t off, rolled it into ball and tossed it into the bushes
 blacl1-clad woman, shrouded in an impenetrable veil, had entered the thicket. Less than a minute later, girl in white dress and white toque and carrying on her arm white wrap, emerged upon the farther path, and sauntered in leisurely fashion toward the parks opposite entrance.
 Once she glanced nervously at the back of her right hand. But at once her frown of apprehension cleared away. The Red Circle had again be- come invisible.

Absence From Business Has Been Greatest Exposure
 to These Directors
BROOKIN'S LOSSES
 HAVE BEEN LARGE
Remarkable Feature of Trial Was Spirit of Cooperation Shown by Counsel for Various
 Defendants
By HOLLAND

New York, January 19.--(Special)-Be- fore the Attorney General had, through the department of justice at Washi7gto announced that the governmesf would bring to the bar again for trial five nem- hers of the New Haven Railroad com | pany's directorate, the counsel for the defense seemed to be of the opinion that l if there were to be retral of these five ] men it could be compacted into not less than three days or more than a week. The trial which was ended a few days ago by the acquittal of six directors of the charge of criminal conspiracy and a disagreement respecting the guilt of five others was the most expensive criminal trial ever held in the United States. It probably was not so expensive to the government as was the long-contnued hearing in the civil case brought by the government for the dissolution of the United State Steel corporation. The trial was a very expensive one for the Steel corporation, the clerical work alone in volving several hundred thousand dol lars. But there were no individual mem bers of the Steel corporation who were

 Heavy as was the cost in actual out lay to the indicted directors of the New Haven railroad. estimated at considerably more than $5C0000, that expense is less important to some of them than was their entaled absence from business for about three months. Charles M Brooker, one of the indicted directors who must stand retral because four of the jury did not
 AI trial ended that his enforced absence from his business for three months was for him really a more serious matter than was the personal expense of the defense. MT. Brooller is the president of one of the largest of American industries, and is -emihently identified with the manu- fracture of brass, the largest American output of which is made under his direc- tion. Negotiations of the utmost impor- tance for the manufacture and sale of this commodity were pending, but MT. Booker could not give needed attention to these negotiations. That probably was tho case with some of the other indicted directors.
 A SHORT TRIAL
 Now that the government is to retry the five directors whom four of the jury two of this number being somewhat in doubt-did not acquit and purposes begin ming as the first trial was begun and going over the same ground as in the first trial, the chances are that another three months will pass before the trial is ended and with no certainty that a new trial would not result in disagreement.

 Lamar and the chief tumbled out of their car before it had fairly stopped :: and they ran at top speed toward the captured limousine. One on each side they jerlSed open the limousine's doors. Each encountered the others face peering in at the opposite doors.
