Let us proceed step farther. By
enlarging our square with the addi-

smaller squares instead of twenty-five,
thus providing spaces for not only all
the letters of the alphabet but the
nine numerals and the cipher or zero

us try the effect of capital letters"

Still, if one had been obselvant, 1t
would have been seen that number
of silent, formally CARRIED men moved
through the crowds with a singularly
deft, insinuating manner; that they
were constantly alert as they paused
here and there near some group en-
gagged in low-voiced conversation, sat
istied themselves that no conspiracy
was afoot, and moved on; that faces
of many of the man guests were keen
ly if furtively scanned; and, finally,
that no one of the young woman
guests went outside with male escort
that she was not followed at re-
spectful distance and watched.
At eleven o'clock came the denoue
ment; but so quietly was it conducted,
until the shooting began, that not
more than three or four of those pres
ent knew that anything out of the
ordinary was happening
A few minutes before the hour the
curtained automobile left it's station
in the alley and vanished Pres
emily when a big curtained auto
mobile, but with it's lights all glazing,
drew up across the avenue from the
Macklin gates it was at once incon-
spicuously surrounded by half-dozen
individuals who viewed it with suspi-
cion.
Now this particular reception was
being given in honor of Miss Evelyn
Fowler, whose name is as familiar to
newspaper readers as our presidents
or any other individuals who is con-
stantly in the public eye. Miss Fow-
Ter could not be termed beautiful
nor even pretty. Neither was she
young, nor wise, nor witty. But her
father was accounted one of the ma
tons richest men; Miss Evelyn her
self was many times millionaire,
and her-eccentricities we shall say
were matters of common knowledge.
So when this lady passed out upon
the broad stone-fagged piazza in com
pany with no other than Edgar Mack
lin, son of her hostess, the watchers
within and without were not so alert
and vigilant as they were in follow
ing the movements of more cherished
and admired beauties. and nothing
was thought of it when young Mr..
Macklin was heard to remark that:
Some prank of Billy's, I'll wager;
he's always pulling off some new stunt.
Well, Wen just go see what it is"
Thus it was that the two strolled
along a path that passed some sunken
gardens, just now inundated for win
ter skating, scarcely noticed by any
body.
Mr. Edgar Macklins head all at once
ierked upward and back with little
gurgling sound Miss Fowler was on
the point of asking what might be

For months Chicago had been
dominated by a gang of jewel
and express thieves conveniently
called by the police and the Suther-
lands the Secret Six" although they
had confederates all over the country
Their activities, up to the time of Miss
BertePs abduction. had been confined
almost solely to stealing valuable
packages from the Transcontinental
Express company, and robbing woman
guests of costly jewels at notable So
cial functions: which last considera-
ton made it almost certain that some
one or more members of the gang had
entree to the city's most fashionable
circles.
In connection with the fact that all
stolen packages and their contents
were known at the principal Chicago
office of the company, which was also
a sort of auditing office for the bal
ance of the country, and that the man
ager of the local office, who was also
the son of the company's president
was a leader in the Lake Shore set
suspicion was directed toward this
young man at an early stage So in
a night the fashionable young man,
Harry Butler, was transformed into a
thief and fugitive from justice.
The kidnapping of Helen Bertel by
the Six" her rescue by Hazard and
other operatives of the Sutherland De-
tective agency, the sensational escape
of the Six" have all been narrated
in previous story of this series. Suf-
fee it to say that Harry Butler was
disgraced, the gang scattered and for
the time being at least their criminal
activities checked.
However, the Sutherland's re-
sources had been taxed to the utmost
and the officials were not inclined to
let the raseals continue to defy them
or be able to boast that they had out
witted the worlds chief detective con-
Germ.
Arguing that the dispersed criminals
would endeavor to communicate with
one another at an early date, num-
Der of methods, among which was ac-
tive cooperation of the post office
authorities, were put in operation to
intercept any messages that might be

BY this time men were running
from every direction. One man tought
desperately, almost overpowering the
four who were trying to subdue him;
another submitted docilely when hand
cuffs were snapped on his wrists.
Altogether, either in captured or
more or less seriously wounded, SIX
prisoners were accounted for, Miss
Evelyn Fowler, after being revived,
was gushing with gratitude, and Felix
Hazard was jubilant.
The Secret Six" at last had run
their course.
You know" Hazard was confiding
shamefacedly to Helen Bertel some
time later, "it was an idiotic little
thing that misled me. 1t was that
word belle. They did not mean Miss
Belle Surtoris, the debutante, whom
hit upon as being the most likely vic
tim to abduct and hold for ransom,
and whom we watched like hawks
all evening, but it was the appella-
ton chosen to designate name which
they would not even trdst to their
COMPOUNDED cipher.
They nearly got her, and nearly
