ped for an instant at the eighteenth
floor to permit the egress Of a pretty
and wasp wasted stenographer.
Bronson was man enough and young
enough to have an eye for the girl,
but as the door closed behind her and
the elevator was already in swift fight
upward he Glanced to glance into it
and stared straight into the scowling
eyes of Ali Singh.
He was certain that the man had
recognized him and was even smiling
indifferently at him, but Ali Singh's
smile always held a deadly menace,
and Bronson at once collected his fac
ulties in the effort to decide how to
act for the best in a thoroughly amaz-
ing situation.
The elevator stopped at the next
floor Listening intently, he fancied
he could detect the firm, even tread of
mans footsteps crossing the lobby
in the direction of suit which must
be located above Captain Randolph's
office.
Bronson was invariably a creature
Of impulse. Instead Of summoning
Manning, he raced up the neighboring
stairway and was confronted by the
legend "Raymon Almonte, Importer of
Oriental Curios," blazoned on the frost
ed glass in the upper part of door
way.
He tried to enter, but the door was
locked Then he raped imperatively,
After some little delay he was admit
ted. and foreign looking man invit-
ed him politely to step inside. At first

The sight gave such a shock to her
subconscious soul that Ali Singh had
to use every atom Of his amazing will
power to keep her under control. He
succeeded, with the almost humorous
result that he burst into a fame of
fury ON learning that a dreadful en-
envy had escaped once more, and this
time by the merest accident.
But, as though to atone for such a
disappointment, he had achieved his
one great object. because the girls
revelations during the trance cleared
away the fog which had wrapped
Manning In impenetrable secrecy dur
ing the past fortnight.
Ali Singh smiled with fendish de-
light.
IT think I've got him this time" he
muttered, stroking his chin as he
watched Malta slowly regaining her
senses. "This has been good days
work. 1t was indeed a real achieve
ment that a translator in Washington
should be able to secure the plans of
the east coast defenses. Not that they
are worth much, but it is well to know
the full extent of the enemy's unpre-
paredness. The really big thing now
is that new gun. l must secure the
drawings, no matter what the cost.
Quadrinolite would have been useful,
but the master gun Is absolutely es-
sential to our cause"
There could be no doubt that Ali
Singh was not only one Of the most
resourceful, but most daring scoun-
drels that ever lived! Were it other
wise he would surely never have ven
tured to enter the Chemical building in
broad daylight and actually take the
elevator to the nineteenth floor. Yet
| he did that very thing, though well
aware of the risk he was taking.
He wore a European costume, of
course, and with the aid of an almost
imperceptible makeup had the outer
lsemblance of one of those distinguish
ed looking men who may be seen any
day in the heart of New York's finan-
cial quarter. But the chief and most
notable feature he could not conceal.
With all his wonderful self control he
could not overcome the contemptuous
| hatred with which those basilisk eyes
of his regarded every man and wo-
man of the white races. That was his
madness. 1t was ultimately to prove
his undoing, but not yet.
Manning was frequently In COM
munication with Captain Randolph
and was closeted with him one morn
| ing in the Chemical building when
Bronson called. The young banker
was busy and did not remain long. He
went out, meaning to descend to the
street, and an upgoing elevator stop

! deal longer than he anticipated when
| leaving the house. AS a peace offering
he called in at noted candy store and
bought a big box of chocolates. His
mind was running, however, on the
grave news of the day, and after hous-
| ing his small runabout in the garage
he actually left the parcel under the
seat. He remembered it instantly aft
er being Rugged and reproached by
two young ladies, who protested that
| they had been quite unable to eat even
their own share of a dinner provided
for four.
"Gee," he cried, making off in hur-
ry, "if haven't got head like time
ball!"
"Why a time ball, Willardw shri1led
May.
Because it works only once day."
he shouted over his shoulder.
Nevertheless that head of his was
sufficiently active to note that the door
Of the garage was slightly ajar, where
as he had certainly closed it after put
| ting the car in it's corner. He switch
ed the light ON and glanced around
with alert eyes
| The garage was empty, however. 1t
was large, square building, equipped
with three pits and number Of cup
boards, but these latter could not pos
sibly hide any human being, and Will
lard saw at once that each Of the pits
was empty. He was puzzled, but al
most succeeded in persuading himself
| that his recollection was at fault. Still,
| luckily for himself, his wits were wide
awake, and as he approached the car
! to retrieve the forgotten parcel he was
half unconsciously ready for some I'M
| toward development.
| And, indeed, it was well for him
| that this was so. The instant he stood
on the step of the vehicle and looked
into it's interior his eyes met those of
brown skinned man whose body was
bent double close to the steering pill
| lar.
The oriental uncoiled himself like a
snake about to strike, but Bronson
was slightly the quicker, and the two

Wv spent in his service the
arch conspirator himself had
adopted a very unusual method of
discovering Manning's whereabouts.
Though his mesmeric influence over
Malta was weakening, the girl was
still powerless to resist when he de-
iberately concentrated his extraordi-
nary powers in direct personal sub
lection.
He assumed, rightly as it proved,
that she would be an excellent medi-
UNI for that peculiar development Of
the occult which snatches glimpses OF
actually from the shaded depths of a
crystal globe. In the result, when the
unhappy girl was compelled to come
under the spell of those magnetic eyes
and ordered to peer intently into q
globe while focusing her thoughts on
Errel Manning, she described his do
ings with remarkable accuracy.
True, the impressions We're fieetine

Of this new danger. AS he reached
the gate he saw two of them tearing
open the door of Manning's car, while
Police Captain Kemp and Detective
Dugan were pelting down the road as
fast as their feet could carry them.
At his first glimpse Of Manning's
pallid face and collapsed form Bron-
sons heart nearly stood still, because
he was sure that his friend was dan
gerously if not MORALLY wounded. In
very truth, Manning did look CHASTITY
and his pallor was only accumulated
by the vivid moonlight. But he raised
himself in a way that seemed almost
miraculous and contrived to gasp:
I'm not hit! 1t was a close call.
The bullet lodged in my cigarette case,
and the punch knocked me out for the
time"
Another shot was heard and yet a
third. The terrified girls and the two
men were eagerly canvassing the de-
tails of the dramatic incidents which
had taken place almost simultaneously
when Kemp came back.
did you see the fellow who shot
at you, Mr.. Manning?" he inquired
coolly.

Neither had time to draw a weapon.
The thug aimed to clutch BronsOn's
throat, throw him over with spring

q be, Safeguarded from the increasingly
Il dangerous outrages planned by the
Hhidden enemies of the state. In con-
Eseauence the locality of his new abode
was kept an absolute secret in the in

He rented house in Riverdale ave

4 the telephone book by arrangement
Bronson and the two girls transferred
! themselves and their belongings thith-
err at different times, moving under
such close surveillance by the police
| that it was literally impossible for All
Singh's most skillful spies to shadow
! them.
Moreover, the house and its grounds
were guarded so closely that no suspi-
cious person could loiter in the vicinity
at any moment Of the day or night
without being arrested and compelled
TO explain his business. Even the cor
respondence of the various members
of the household was delivered at their

his own refuge might be disclosed.
It was a singular fact, therefore
that idle chance and deadly inten
should combine in revealing Manning's
residence to an implacable enemy OF

It happened that Ahmed, the youn:
Turk, with another of Ali Singh's cut
throats, had been assigned the task O
watching a certain main road in thu
northern part Of the city. He, O
course, had seen Manning and Bron
son on board the cargo steamer, ant

The man was simply burning witt
