 June found herself in a cubbyhole of room whose only articles of fur niture were a tumbledown cot bed and rickety table, on which stood an oil lamp.

Tho beach comber was shutflin ing along the sands. like some furtively uncouth night animal He was a forlorn spectacle-unshaven III clad. For week. now. he had dwelt in a tumbledown shack at the far end of Surfton beach.

 This evening Mike was securing the shore for driftwood. His gaze was caught and gripped by something that swayed and reeled eccentrically on the verge of the cllff. far above him.

 Noiselessly he crept from his hid ing place. On tiptoe he made his way toward the table. Yama was stopping forward, arranging a handful of silver at one of the three plates.
 Sam leaned over him, and with light ming motion caught up the edges of the tablecloth and swathed the Jap's meager body ill them

 Eagan had sense enough not to go back to his cave with his plunder. That was much too near the scene of his theft. Possible searchers would see the cavern-mouth and explore 1t. He must get far enough away to dodge pursuit before settling down to tAe uclIShIS LII HIS Stoleu pauquet.
 Ahead of him was hillock made up of broken powders in whose inches a man could elude whole cordon of police. And toward this hillock, Eagan ran.

 She slammed shut the door leading from the bedroom to the front room. Picking up one Of handful Of scat tered matches on the bedroom table she lighted tho dirty little kerosene lamp
 At the same moment the two detec- tives burst open the outer door and piled into the front room. There. for second, they halted in wonder Before them was the slightly open door of the bedroom. Through the crack between door iamb and door way. appeared q white hand-a wom- ans hand-and part of an arm.
 The hand grasped a burning kero- sene lamp whose smoky chimney wab- bled dangerously. Yes, and on the back of the white hand shone ctr clet of scarlet.
 The Red Circle" calculated Boyle: and started forward-a human hound upon the scent
 Back" shrilled a woman's voice from behind the halfshtlt door-a voice that echoed through the bare shack like a silver bugle's call Back! If you take another step forward I'll throw this lamp"
 Rush hor!" yelled Boyle. Wen get 'em both. Gordon and the Red Circle woman. Rush her."
 He bounded forward as he spoke, Jacobs at his heels. And, across the little room. like a flaming meteor. whizzed the lamp.
 The blazing lamp crashed to the floor at Jacobs feet There was a flare. an explosion. and the room was thick with binding smoke.
 Jacobs reeled back, gasping; his lungs burstingly agonized with the kerosene fumes he had swallowed. He fell prostrated across the wooden flooring which the burning kerosene had already begun to ignite.
 Boyle stopped and groped through the smoke for the swooning man, found him and dragged him through the choking fumes to the outer door.
 Meanwhile, as soon as she had launched the lamp at her antagonists, June had wheeled about and leaped through the bedroom window.

 Sans feet slipped. Instinctively. he threw out both arms to steady him. self. The basket of food slipped from his outtiung arms, struck the rock and caromed of into three feet of water; where a mischievous wave promptly washed it out Of sight.
 p-oop-jawed, goggled-eyed, Sam watched his treasure vanish For moment. he was dumb. Then came rush of words. Up and down on the slippery rock. Sam Eagan danced Hs threw his fists aloft. He cursed in way that would have been a liberal education to an audience of longshore. men and lumberjaeks and eanal-boat men.
 At last, his vocabulary and his voice failed him And he tried to remem- Der whether or not there had been more than one basket of food in that picnic lunch. On careful-and raven ous-refection, he rather thought there had been a second basket. And he turned hungrily back toward the spot he had so nimbly quilted a few minutes earlier.

Loudly and dramatically, he told them what had befallen him. And, at discovery that the food basket was gone, his voluble indignation redoubled.

 Left alone, June and Mary stared at each other in dumb astonishment. Then, all at once. the funny side of the mishap struck June. She threw back her head and laughed.
 The daring cleverness of the thief appealed to the newly awakened criminality in her nature. And, as she laughed. the Red Circle began to throb and glow on the back of her hand. &&8
 Sam Eagan, having crawled as near as he dared. to the spot where he still hoped to find food, caught sight of June and heard her gay laughter. He paused, hesitant, behind rock. debating whether or not it would be safe to come out and throw himself upon her mercy.
 He had half-coined whining speech of penitence for her benefit, when, of a sudden, the girl clapped her right hand across her mouth to stop her hysterical laugh.
 Clear as monday sun could mako it, the scarlet sign on her hand back flashed forth.
 "The-the Red Circle" gurgled Eagan, in stark amaze. "The--the Red Circle!-June Travis."
 A gleam of wolfish cunning began to replace the blank wonder on his face.
