SYNOPSIS.

Stanley Hargreave, millionaire, after a miraculous escape from the den of the gang of brilliant thieves known as the Black Hundred lives the life of a re- cluse for eighteen years. Hargreave one night enters a Broadway restaurant and there comes face to face with the gang s leader, Braine. After the meeting, during which neither man apparently recognizes the other, Hargreave hurries to his mag nifcent Riverdale home and lays plans for making his escape from the country. He writes letter to the girls school in New Jersey where eighteen years before he had mysterlously left on the doorstep his baby daughter, Florence Gray. He also pays a visit to the hangar of a daredevil aviator. Braine and members of his band surround Hargreaves home at night, but as they enter the house the watchers outside see a balloon leave the roof The safe is found empty-the mill lion which Hargreave was known to have drawn that day gone. Then some one an nounced the balloon had been punctured and dropped to the bottom of the sea. Florence arrives from the girls school. Princess Olga, Braine's companion, vis- its and claims to be a relative. Two bo- gus detectives call but their plot Is foiled by Norton, newspaper man.

that the police had been tipped be- forehand and were on the groundS xh time to gather in several notorious gunmen. who, under pressure of the third degree. vowed that they had been hired and paid by a man in mask and had not the slightest idea what he wanted them to raid. Noth- ing further could be gotten out of the gunmen. That they were lying the police had no doubt, but they were up against a stout wall and all they could do was to hold the men for the grand jury.
 Norton was in fine temper. After all his careful planning he had gained nothing - absolutely nothing. But wait; he had gained something-the bitter enmity of cunning and des- perate man, who had been forced to remain hidden under the pier till al- most dawn.

 Thank God! But what is this trap?"

 Norton returned to his rooms, there to await the call from Grannis. He was sorry, but If Jones would not take him into his fullest confidence, he

CHAPTER ".
The Flat on the Top Floor.

Braine crawled from his uncomfort- able hiding place. His clothes were soiled and damp, his hat gone. By a hairs breadth he had escaped the clever trap laid for him. Hargreave was alive, he had escaped; Braine was as certain of this fact as he was of his own breathing. He now knew how to account for the flickering light in the upper story of the warehouse. His ancient enemy had been watch ing him all the time. More than this, Hargreave and the meddling reporter were in collision. In the flare of lights at the end of the gun-play he had caught the profile of the reporter. Here was a dangerous man, who must be watched with the utmost care.
 He, Braine, had been lured to con- init an overt act, and by the rarest good luck had escaped with nothing more serious than a cold chill and a galling disappointment.
 He crawled along the top of the pier, listening, sending his dark-accus- toned glance hither and thither. The sky in the east was growing paler and paler. In and out among the bales of wool, bags of coffee and lemon crates he slowly and cautiously wormed his way. A watchman pa- trolled the office side of the ware house, and Braine found it possible to creep around the other way, thence into the street After that he straight ened up, sought a secondhand shop and purchased soft hat, which he pulled down over his eyes.
 He had half dozen rooms which he always kept in readiness for such adventures as this. He rented them furnished in small hotels which never asked questions of their patrons. To one of these he vert as fast as his weary legs could carry him. He al- ways carried the key. Once in his room he donned fresh wearing ap- parel. linen, shoes. and shaved. Then he proceeded downstairs. the second hand hat shading his eyes and the upper part of his face.
 At half past twelve Norton entered the Knickerbocker cafe-restaurant, and the first person he noticed was Braine, reading the mornings paper. propped up against the water carafe. Evidently he had just ordered. for

must hold himself to blame for any blunder he (Norton) made. Of course, he could readily understand Jones' angle of vision. He knew nothing of the general run of reporters: he had heard of them by rumor and distrusted them. He was not aware of the fact that the average reporter carries more secrets in his head than a prime min- ister. It was. then, up to him to set about to allay this distrust and gain the mans complete confidence.
 Meanwhile that same morning pretty young woman boarded the Orient and asked to be led to the cap tain. Her eyes were red; she had evidently been weeping. When the captain, susceptible like all sailors. saw her his promises to Norton took wings.
 This is Captain Hagan?" she asked. balling the handkerchief she held in her hand
 Yes, miss What can do for you?" He put his hands embarrassedly into his pockets-and felt the crisp bills. But for that magic touch he would have forgotten his lines. He squared his shoulders.
 T have every assurance that the man you picked up at sea is my father. l am Florence Hargreave. Tell me everything"
 The captains very blundering de- ceived her And then he hustled down the gang plank and headed for that warehouse. He had package which he was as tender of as if 1t had been dynamite"
 Thank you!" impulsively
 "A man has to do his duty, miss A sailors always glad to rescue a man at sea-" awkwardly.
 When she finally went down the gangplank the sigh the captain heaved was almost as loud as the exhaust from the donkey engines which were working out the crates of lemons from the hold.
 Maybe she Is his daughter: but two hundred is two hundred. and I'm a poor sailor man."
 Heu uTdunlS came III loE HIS troubles. What was chap to do when pretty girl appealed to him?
 'I am sorry, miss. but l can't give you that package. l gave the man receipt and till it is presented to me the package must remain in wonder safe. You understand enough about, the business to realize that. did not solicit the job. It was thrust upon me. I'd give hundred dollars if the blame thing was out of my safe. You say it is your fortune. That hasn't been proved. It may be gunpowder. dynamite. I'm sorry. but you will have to find your father and bring the receipt"
 The young woman left the ware house. dabbing her eyes with the sodden handkerchief.
 q wonder" unused Grannis, as he watched her from the window, T won- der what the deuce that chap Nor ton is up to. The girl might have been the mans daughter. Good Lord. what an ass am! There wasn't any mani" And so he reached over for the telephone.
 Immediately upon receipt of the message the reporter set his machin. cry in motion. Some time before dawn he would know who the arch conspirator was. He questioned Gran his thoroughly, and Grannis' descrip- ton tallied amazingly with that of Florence Hargreave But a call over the wire proved to him conclusively that Florence had not been out of the house that morning.
 Cn the morrow the newspapers had scare-heads about an attempt to rob the Duffy warehouse. It appeared
The Spectator., 1916-04-14

not want anybody to learn that he had been rescued. The moment the boat touched the pier he lost himself in the crowd. Fifty reporters came aboard, but he was gone. And I could but tell them just what I'm telling you"
 He had money"
 About five thousand"
 Please describe him."
 The captain did so. It was the same description he had given to all the re- porters. Norton looked over the rail at the big warehouse.
 Was it an ordinary balloon?"
 There you've got me. My Marconi man says the balloon part was like any other balloon; but the passenger car was a new business to him. It could be driven against the wind"
 Driven against the wind. Did you tell this to the other chaps?"
 Don't think 1 did Just remem- bered it. Probably some new inven- tion: and now it's at the bottom of the sea. Two men, as 1 understand It., went off in this contraption. One is gone for good"
 For good" echoed the reporter
The Spectator., 1916-04-14

Aren't you going to kiss me, Leo?"
 He caught her hands. There is a species of Delilah about you, Olga. A kiss tonight from your lips would snip my locks; and I need a clear head. Whether we fail or win, when this game is played you shall be my wife" He kissed the hands and strode out into the hall.
 The woman gazed down at her small white hands and smiled tenderly. (The tigress has her tender momentsD He meant 1t!
 She went into her dressing room and for an hour or more worked over her face and hair, till she was certain that if the captain of the ship described her to anyone else he could not fail to give a fair description of Florence liar greave.
 But Norton reached the captain first Other reporters had besieged him, but they had succeeded in gathering the vaguest kind of information. They had no description of Hargreave, while Norton had. Before going down to the boat, however, he had delved into the past of the Princess Olga Perigoff. It cost him pocketful of money, but the end justified the means. The princess had no past worth mentioning. By piecing this and that together he be- came assured that she had told the simple truth regarding the relationship to Florence's mother. A cablegram had given him all the facts in her his tory; there were no gaps or discrep- ancies. It read clear and frank. Trust a Russian secret agent to know what he was talking about.
 So Norton's picions-and he had entertained some-were completely lulled to sleep And he wouldn't have doubted her at all except for the fact that Braine had been with her when he had introduced Hargreave. Har- greave had feared Braine; that much the reporter had elicited from the but Ter. But there wasn't the slightest evidence. Braine had been in New York for nearly six years. The princess had arrived in the city but year gone. And Braine was member of several fashionable clubs, never touched cards, and seldom drank. He was an expert chess player and a wonderful amateur billiardist. Perhaps Jones, the taciturn and inscrutable, had not told him all he knew regarding his masters past. We'll, we'll; he had in his time un- tangled worse snarls. The office had turned him loose, free lance, to handle the case as he saw fit, to turn in the story when 1t was complete.
 But what a story it was going to be when he cleared it up! The more mys- tifying 1t was the greater the zest and sport for him. Norton was like a gambler who played for big stakes, and only big stakes stirred his crav- ings.
 The captain of the tramp steamer Orient told him the same tale he had told the other reporters; he had picked up man at sea. The man had been brought aboard totally exhausted
 Was there another body any where?"
 No"
 What became of him?"
 T sent a wireless and that seemed to bother him. It looked so that he did

 Why, Norton. sit down. sit down! Have you had lunch? No? Join me-"
 Thanks. Came in for my break fast" said Norton, drawing out the chair. Braine was sitting with his back to the wall on the lounge-seat.
 ''I wonder if you newspaper men ever eat real. true enough break fast. I should think the hours you lead would kill you on Anything new on the Hargreave story?"
