Of double wedding when Bronson re-
turned from England. Willard and
May were already engaged. and, al
though they kept their own counsel in
the matter, there could be little doubt
that Margaret Bronson and Enrol
Manning would soon exchange their
plighted vows.
Possibly the presence of MALTA in the
house was responsible for some de-
gree Of hesitancy on Margaret's part.
Though Manning himself harbored no
suspicion Of the fact. the sharp eyes
of the woman had detected certain
sure indications OF a hopeless infatua-
ton on the part OF the handsome east

American diplomat

June morning in order TO glance

~ URING period of nearly three
weeks nothing was heard OF
Ali Singh or his projects.
= Though the vigilance of the au-
thorities was not relaxed for mo-
ment. Manning was beginning to
breathe freely again.
The Rronsons still lived In Manning's
house in New York. which was deem
ed a safer abode than their own coun-
try residence at Fern Brae. Long Is
land. The elder Bronson had sailed
for London two days after his sons
escape from death and the blowing up
Of the houseboat.
AS the days passed and no further
sign of the Yellow Menace was forth
coming Manning's spirits arose. The

suddenly among them. frightened them
dreadfully by his malignant express

The unhappy prisoners. OF course.

whereabouts. They knew not how the

Cast into a cellar which contained a
rickety bed and dirty mattress, their
gags and ropes were removed. and
they were left alone, free TO exchange
such heartbroken condolences as they
cared to utter.
Yet what could they say? How
seemed uncOnquerable. When he
struck 1t was with the swift and mer-
