As she entered, quickly she selected
one Of the trunks whose contents were
more smart than the rest, and laid the
gowns out most fetchingly about the
room.
In the office OF the hotel a few mo-
ments later the naturalist entered. He
looked about curiously, then went over
to the desk and glanced over the reg
lister. At the name Madame Larenz,
Paris, Room o." he paused.
For some seconds he stood thinking.
Then he deliberately walked over to
leather chair and took a prominent
seat near by in the lobby He had dis
carded his net, but still had the case,
which now he had showed into his
pocket. From table he picked up
newspaper.
II was not long before Del Mar
pulled up before the hotel and entered
in his usual swagger manner. lie
had returned to the bungalow, read
the note, and hurried over to the st.
German.
He crossed the lobby, back to the
Office AS he did so the naturalist had
his face hidden deeply in the open
newspaper. But no sooner had Del
Mar passed than the newspaper fell
unappreciated, and he gazed after him,
as he left the lobby by the back way.
It was only few minutes after she
had completed arranging her small
stock so that It looked quite impress
sive, that Madame Larenz heard
knock at the door and recognized Del
Mars secret code. She opened the
door and he strobe In.
Il got your note" he said, brie1y,
coming directly to business and tell
ing her just what he wanted done.
Let me see," he concluded, glancing
at his watch. 1T is after three now.
She ought to be here any minute"
Outside, Elaine drove up to the
rather garish entrance of the st. Ger
main, and one of the boys In uni
form ran forward to open the door
and take charge of the car. She. too,
crossed the lobby without seeing the
old naturalist, though nothing escaped
him.
AS she passed he started to rise and
cross toward her, then appeared to
change his mind.
Elaine went on out through the back
of the lobby. directed by boy, and
mounted flight of stairs in prefer
ence to taking the lift to the second,
or sort of mezzanine floor. Down
along the corridor she went, hunting

for number twenty-five. At last she
found it at the end and knocked.
Del Mar and Madame Larenz were
still talking in low tones when they
heard a light tap on the door.
There she is now" whispered
Larenz.
"All right; let her in" answered Del
Mar, leaping quietly to a closet. 'Ill
hide here until / get the signal. Do
just as l told you"
Outside, at the same time, accord
ing to his carefully concocted plans,
Del Mars car had driven up and
stopped close to the side OF the hotel
which was on a slight hill that
brought the street level here not so
far below the second story windows.
Three of his most trusted men were in
the car.
Madame Larenz opened the door

With deft fingers, Larenz helped her
take off her own very pretty dress.

They looked about carefully. There
was no one on that side of the hotel
just at the moment.
Ready" responded one. "Quick!"
Together Del Mar and Madame
Larenz passed Elaine, Intellectually

men seized her and placed her in the
bottom of the car. which was covered
Then they shot away, taking a back
road up the hill
Hurriedly the naturalist went
through the lobby in the direction
Elaine had gone, and moment later
reached the corridor above.
Down 1t, he could hear someone
coming out of room 20. He slid into
an angle and hid.
II was Del Mar and the woman he
had seen at the bungalow. They
passed by without discovering him,
nor could he make out anything that
they said What mischief was afoot?
Where was Elaine?
He ran to the door and tried 1t. II
was locked. Quickly he took from his
pocket a skeleton key and unlocked
It. There was Elaine's hat and dress
lying in heap on the bed. But she
was not there. He was now thor
oughly alarmed.
She could not have passed him in
the hall. Therefore she must have
gone or been taken out through the
window. That would never have been
voluntary, especially leaving her
things there.
The window was still open. He
ran to 1t. One glance out was enough.
He leaped to the ground. Sure
enough there were automobile tracks
in the dust.
"Del Mars cart" he muttered to
himself, studying them.
He fairly ran around the side of the
hotel. There he came suddenly upon
Elaines car standing alone, and rec
ognized it.
There was no time for delay. He
jumped into it and let the swift little
racer out as he turned and gathered
momentum to shoot up the hill on
high speed.

Del Mars automobile, with Elaine
bound and gagged in it, drove rapidly
by back and unfrequented ways into
the country until at last 1t pulled up
before an empty two-story house in a
sort Of grove OF trees.
The men leaped out, lifted Elaine,
and carried her bodily into the house,
taking her upstairs and into an upper
room. She had tainted when they laid
her down and loosened the dress from
about her face 80 that she could
breathe. There they left her, on the
floor, her hands and feet bound, and
went out.
How long she lay there she never
knew; but at last the air revived her
and she regained consciousness and
sat up. Her muscles were sore and
her head ached. But she set her teeth
and began struggling with the cords
that bound her, managing at last to
pull the dress over herself at least.
In Elaine's car the naturalist drove
slowly at times, following the track
OF the automobile ahead. At last,
however, he came to a place where he
saw that the tracks went up lonely
road. To approach in car was to
warn whoever was there. He ran the
car up alongside the road In the
bushes and jumped out, leaving it
and following the tracks up the side
roadway.

around, still hiding, until he was clos

THIRTY-THIRD EPISODE
THE LURE OF THE MODESTO.

Early one morning very handsome
woman of the adventures type ar
rived with several trunks at the big
summer hotel Just outside the town,
the st. German.
Among the many fashionable people
at the watering place, however, she
attracted no great attention. and In the
forenoon she quietly went In her mo.
tor for a ride.
1t was Madame Larenz, one OF Del
Mars secret agents. who. up to this
time, had been engaged in spying on
wealthy and impressionable American
manufacturers.
Her airing brought her finally to
the bungalow of Del Mar, and there
she was admitted In q manner that
showed that Del Mar trusted her
highly.
Now" he instructed, after a few
minutes chat. Il want you to get ac-
quainted with Miss Dodge. She's quite
human. Pretty gowns appeal to her.
Get her to the st. German. Then
I'll tell you what to do"
A few minutes later the woman loft
in her Car. so rapidly driven that no
one would recognize her.
II was early in the afternoon that
Aunt Josephine was sitting on the
veranda when an automobile drove up
and very stylishly gowned and bon
neted woman stepped out.
Good afternoon" she greeted Aunt
Josephine overwhelmingly, as she APP
preached the house. Il am Madame
Larenz of New York and Paris. Per
haps you have heard OF my shops on
Fifth avenue and the Rue de la Paix."
Aunt Josephine had heard the name,
though she did not know that this
woman had assumed II without being
I'm any way connected with the places
she mentioned.

mer service at the better resorts" the
woman explained. You see. my peo-
pie find 1t annoying to go into the city
for gowns. So l am bringing the lat
est Paris models out to them. Is Miss

Il think she is playing tennis" re-
turned Aunt Josephine.
"Oh, yes, see her, thank you" the
woman murmured. moving toward the
tennis court back of the house.
Elaine and | had agreed to play

Our game had scarcely started when
we were interrupted by the approach

"Miss Dodge?" she greeted. viii

Elaine paused in serving the ball
and the woman handed her a card
from her delicate gold mesh bag. 1t
read simply:

Elaine looked at the card a moment
while the woman repeated what she
had already told Aunt Josephine.
"You have them here, them
queried Elaine, interested.
Yes, | have some very exclusive
models which ! am showing at my
suite In the st. GERMAN"
"Oh, how loycly!" exclaimed Elaine.
