LeOntine looked at the man who had
Il pasty complexion, and the air of one
who was at the end of his resources.
An instant later the sound of a re
yolYer Shot was heard, followed by the
thud of Il falling body.
IeOntine sprang to her feet in ter.
ror. The others followed suit.
Half hidden by the curtain behind
which he had fallen, lay the young
man.
Peering into the dead mans face
was Il man whom she seemed to re
member. Yes, it was little Louis Lamb

this sort of job going on next door,
he said with II grin.
"What do you mean by next door? -
asked Leontine
"Why, through the door behind those
curtains" answered Louie. "Say,
you're green, amt your

ilohdlhC' Sdlu Il htSIO ulleuuunt,
pushing through the excited throng.
Kindly leave the house immediately"
LeOntine, with two or three other
women, was being jostled roughly to-
ward the door. She was in despair,
for LouieS words had given her a clue.
Suddenly she saw that the curtains
had been drawn. The suicides body
was being carried into Madame Bian-
cas- house through the secret entrance.
Instantly she threw up her arms and
fell to the floor in a simulated faint.
Through her half-closed eyes she
saw the connection about her. Two at
tendants came hastily up to where she
lay.
"We1l have to run her in, too" they
said. "Say, amt them women the
limit !"
Taking her by the head and feet they
pushed their way back to the curtains.
A glare of lights burst on her closed
eyelids. Cautiously she opened them.
She saw Sebastian and the woman
known as Madame Blanca, with Ro-
manoff, standing about the body of the
suicide.
She sprang to her feet and faced
them. At the sight of her Sebastian
WINGED, started, and whitened. Into
Romanoff'S eyes there came a look of
understanding. Madame Blanca looked
Mt her steadily and inquiringly And
suddenly Leontine realized the purpose
of SebaStian's presence there. For
there was Il paper in the woman's hand
and it was the confession of Louis
Lamb.
Sebastian had certainly been attract.

Ravengar smiled back at her, but he
did not put down his weapon.
A moment afterward she reached
behind the portieres and pulled a cord
A trap-door opened under Ravengar's
feet, and he slid down a chute.
AS he disappeared, the spring door
released of his weight, sprang up
again. Blanca looked at the men with
her and laughed.
"An interesting fool" she said.
What were you telling me, Mr.. Rom
anoffP
Could free herself from the man
who was her husband in name alone
That was Leontines thought us she
sat miserably in her room alone.
Suddenly she sprang to her feet as
new idea came to her. 1t brought
the flush TO her checks; it seemed a
shameful thing--yet it might mean
her freedom from Sebastian.
No sooner had the idea come to
her than 1t assumed mastering force.
She dressed hurriedly and slipped out
of the house.
She took a street car downtown. She
must have sat brooding in her room
for hours, for it was already late and
the crowds We're pouring out of the
theaters. She reached the one to
which her husband had gone just in
time to see the first of the audience
leave.
Drawing into the doorway of little
shop adjacent, she scanned the
crowds keenly. Presently her atten-
ton was directed toward black
haired woman of singularly attractive
appearance, who was just getting into
her motor. There was something
about her that made Leontine watch
her every movement.
Then, just as the woman had
seated herself within the car, Leontine
saw Sebastian leave the theater with
a companion. At that moment the
woman dropped her fan.
The act was done with a certain de-
liberation. OF that Leontine was sure.
She knew, too, that it had been done
to attract Sebastian; she knew all this
rs only woman understands the mo-
tives of other women.
Sebastian picked it up, bowed, and
handed the fan to the woman in the
motor. She thanked him with smile
and pressed something into his hand.
Leontine saw the flutter of piece of
paper.
The motor drove away, but Sebas-
tian stood reading the note under the
light. A moment afterward he babe

Western desperate, his verbs and
nouns We're seldom upon nodding ac-
quaintance with each other, and he
forgot all about his other roles.
When he emerged, dripping and
shaken, from the river, clutchlng the
stolen confession in his hand he made
his way hastily to his shack. He
found 1t unframed after the earth
quake, changed his clothes, ate meal,
and hurried toward the nearest sta
ton.
In the train he shook off Red Finn
entirely. RED" had outplayed his
part. He became Ludwig Romanoif,
4 role he had filled in Germany, with
great success, six years before. His
nouns and verbs made up; and as the
rough desperate became sleek, pol
ished crook, the very expression of the
man ceased to change.
Arriving In the East, he quickly
found his level among the denizens of
the underworld. lie soon came to real
lie that Louis Lambs confession, for
which Sebastian had offered Ravengar
ten thousand dollars, must still be
worth at least that sum.
Sebastian, having returned with
Leontine from Whites Village, had re-
sumed his old life with all the burden
Of his latest experiences added to It,.
He knew now that detection of his
part in the conspiracy against Jerry
Carson was imminent. He knew that
Louis and Ravengar were leagued to-
gether to hunt him down. He guessed
that Leontine suspected. And he did
not know what to do.
1t was while he was In this uncer-
tainty that Ludwig Romanoff called
with Louis confession in his pocket.
Sebastian, who did not know that
the confession had been stolen from
Ravengar, started nervously, never
theless, when the strange name was
announced. He had been breakfastlng
with Leontine. She saw him start and
looked after him In wonder as he left
the room and went into his library.
Overcome with curiosity, Leontine
went into the hall. The library door
was not quite closed, and the two men
were standing In such a position that
Leontine could see them reflected In
the mirror that hung In the hall. She

said Blanca.
About one minute after Romanoff
had left the gambling room, Rayengar
rose from the table He pOcketed his
winnings with yawn and str0lled in
to the hall. Pushing back the curtain,
he, too, touched the spring, and the
panel opened. He entered the ante
room noiselessiy and turned to close
the panel behind him.
He could hear the low conversa-
ton In the next room. AS he moved
stealthily forward, he became con
scious that his coat had caught in the
panel.
He turned to free himself. The sliding

doorway. Rayengar had Just man
aged to free himself when the man
was upon him grasping him roughly
by the arms.
What are you doing here? he de-
manded.
Something in Ravengar's look fright
ened him, for, releasing his captive,
the man stepped back and drew a re-
volyer from his pocket. Ravengar
caught him by the arm. The weapon
was discharged, the bullet passing in
to the ceiling. A chip of plaster fell
to the floor
At the sound, Romanoff, Blanca. and
the third man rushed into the room.
They found Rayengar struggling with

At Bianca's command the men fell
back, leaving Ravengar in possession

at each other for a moment in silence.
Then Blanca smiled.

saw Sebastian, looking nervously at
his visitor, and in the visitor she rec
ognized, to her surprise, the man who
had stolen the confession from Raven

Unable to stir, she could not but
hear the ensuing conversation:

LeOntine thanked him and paid him,

of Northern Michigan are planning
to secede from the remainder of the
state and set up a new government

The proposed state of Superior
comprises one-third of Michigan,
which is the largest state but one
east of the Mississippi river.
The proposed state is larger than
Delaware, Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut combined and is 1S times
the size of Rhode Island.
It has one-ninth of the people of
Michigan and pays one-seventh of
the taxes but it never has had a

only one governor out of 20.
1t produces one-third of the iron
