and spoke the last words almost into her
She could feel the thrill of alarm, which coursed
through the Madame's trim body For just an in
slant the other hesitated, and then she stepped
to the telephone her desk and called a num-
Der into the transmitter.
Wait here, please" she said, with a trife
more cordiality in her voice. Mona dropped into
a chair, affecting not TO be interested in the con-
versation over the wire. She could hear a mans
voice through the receiver, and then the Madame
lowering her voice, spoke rapidly and nervously,
and evidently to such purpose that moment
later she hung back the receiver with sigh of
relief.
"A friend Of mine Is coming over who would
like to hear your story, my young friend If you
can convince him of its truth, perhaps you have
not done so badly after all !"
IT don't care for that part of it, said Mona,
eareessly, guessing at once that the friend" in
question was Dan Slatern. "All that inter-
ested in Is getting back at Carson. I told him
would make him sorry, and want to make my
promise goodr'
Just so! Just so" nodded the Madame alb
sently. She stepped to the door. IF you don't
mind waiting for just moment, have an urgent
customer waiting outside"
Not at ALL" said Mona, pleasantly. She
heard the key turn on the other side of the door,
and smiled to herself. Evidently the Madame was
not disposed to take any chances!
The girl strolled to the one window of the
room, and parted the curtains. 1t opened
rear alley, just across from which loomed the
outlines of a rear house, fronting on the next
the curtains, and turned back to a survey of the
room. If the plans of Casper Carson had gone
through without hitch his men even now were
assembling for the raid on the Beauty Parlors,
which had been agreed upon at dusk That it was
a plant" without either the knowledge
sistance Of the district attorneys Office, would,
OF course, not be known until later-and Carson's
wealth and influence were such that he would
answer any legal inquiries, If, indeed, any should
DC made. He knew that Slatern well aware
OF the reform crusade, of which, he, Carson, was
the prime mover-and that the young millionaire

OF its periodical fights with the police department

the key turned in the door again, and the
Madame reappeared, with a whom the girl
at once recognized Dan Satern. That he
her quarrel with Carson the previous night was
OBVIOUS With smile he stepped toward her.
Il understand you have something to tell
me-"
Mona met his apprasing glance boldly, and
repeated the story she had told Madame Sutro.
Slatern heard her through without comment.
And when is this raid TO take placep" he
asked abruptly, after she had finished.
1T is scheduled for" The girls sentence
was interrupted by a sound of scufrle outside,
and vigorous hammering at the street door.

nothing but promises-and have broken with

I intend to make him sorry! That Is why have
come to you-to tell you certain matters which
may be of interest to you!"
II don't know what you mean" Madame
Sutro scanned the girls face shrewdly, and her
manner perceptibly stifened.

any hour" Mona stepped closer to the other,

ridor, followed by Madame sutro and Mona. 1t
was evident that the raid" was already in
progress.
slatern turned swiftly to Madame Sutro, and
she met his mute question with nod.
Everything has been cleared away" abe
said. Il took care Of that-as soon as heard
the girls story"
Slatern sprang through a hidden door, pulling
Mona after him, and shutting the concealed door,
just the sounds from the front Of the building
showed that Madame Sutro had admitted the
presumable officers of the law. After a reasonable
length of time Slatern returned to ascertain il
the officers had gone. In few moments he was
back at Mona's side.
They have gone" he said. "And I rather
fancy that your friend, Carson, is almost
vinced that he blind trail - He lighted

fresh cigar with chuckle. At that moment a
woman's suppressed scream rang through the
building, to be smothered the next instant.
slatern threw away his match with curse,
but Mona pretended TO be unconscious Of any
thing out of the ordinary, although she was
straining her ears in the hope of a repetition of
the cry. 1t had come apparently from a room be-
low, and there doubt that q rough hand
had silenced the month from which 1t had burst.
Was it the same woman who had called in vain
from the covered taxi-cab? She that Slatern
was watching her covertly out Of the corner of
his eye, and tried to smile.
Shall We be going backT' she asked "Or
shall I leave from this house,"
Slatern rather absenty. He led the way back
through the tunnel, and again into the Beauty
Parlors. Madame Sutro was pnning on her hat,
evidently preparing to go out for dinner. Except
for the splntered street door, there was sign
of the raid which had threatened to disturb
the serenity Of the place, and the liberty of Its
occupants:
81 think we under obligations to Miss
Jenkins" said Slstern, giving Mona the name she
had offered to Madame Sutro. What do you
think your services are worth to us?" he asked,
plugging his hand into his pocket.
The girl made a gesture of protest.
Not dollar! I told you I was not doing II
for money-but to get back at Carson rather
think he will be sorry before he is through"
Slatern grunted. Have it your wayl But
just the same I not a man 20 forget a favor.
Suppose you call at my Office in the morning? 1t
