death in sixteen hours"
The inspector rushed to the tele-
phone and asked for the Mayors
camp. There was no answer,
why don't we take the first train
and warn them in person?" cried lima.
Harry nodded, and the inspector
agreed. The young people were hus-
tied into a high-powered car and
whlrled to the Grand Central. Luck
was with them. They could reach
Albany and change by o'clock to
the branch road that touched the
nearest station to the Mayors camp.
To Harry and lima 1t seemed as
though the train would never reach
its destination. As II puffed away
from the tumbled-down station, lima
rushed to the telephone. Already It
was dark, and there were many miles
OF heavy roads ahead of them.

Harry had noticed a small car by the
platform. He had no Qualms about
taking IL on an errand OF life and
death. A small boy obligIngly pointed
out the road to the WInton camp, and
the man and the girl started on.
The car evinced fns hilI-climbing

A STRANGE MESSAGE.

Fortunately the executioner found
Harry and lima IN when he called tne
young girls number. lima was la
mentinE the loss of the twin pearls
ana Harry was trying to console her
but without much success. The exc
cutIoner's message, breaking in "a
his efforts, brought at least ray OF
sunshine. "This Is Kismet," he said
over the wire. Next week one OF the
pearls will be at Parsons, the Fifth
avenue jeweler." Having delivered
this enigmatIc message he hung up
the receiver, to the dismay OF Harry,
who was eager for details.
'swelI," said lima, "let's be thankful
for what we have. We both need
rest. and I'm inclined to think that
the nearer we get to the seventh pearl
the harder will be our task.
Every one In the fashionable world
knows Parsons, the jeweler. To lima
and Harry it did not seem odd that
one OF the Sultan's pearls should hnd
lodgment there, for the shop con-
tanned only the rarest and best.
As they passed the big windows
that front on the avenue they noticed

with fingers that trembled. His face
betrayed great mental suffering. In
side the envelope was q single play

impatient motion he tossed both into

As the messenger slipped away the
dentist glanced sharply At lima. but
that young lady appeared oblivious
to everything but the cuts IN q fash
ION msgaslne, and he passed on to his
laboratory.
As soon as the door closed, lima
tiptoed to the operating room, open
I ed the drawer from which she had
seen the dentist take the cards. and
found q paper which contained this
mysterious legend:
Four of Clubs,
Jack Of Spades,
Five OF Hearts,
King OF Diamonds,
Two Of Diamonds,
Nine OF Spades.
and 30 on through the whole dfty-
two cards. lima was puzzled. She
could make nothing OF Il, but she de-
cided that Harry and the Inspector
might be wiser than she, so she
quietly put on her hat and coat and
walked out
While. lima was playing her part In
the scheme to run down the writer
of the mysterious notes. Harry had
not been idle. With a couple of po-
licemen he entered a house in the
lower residential district on the
chance OF finding Mason Campbell.
Inside, Perry Mason was throwing OF
his disguise. He had come into the
room as an old woman He appeared
within short time as q dapper-
looking man and regarded himself in
the glass with apparent satisfaction.
A knock at the door interrupted him.
He moved rapidly to the fireplace,
slipped q panel and vanished. When
Harry and the police entere. they
found only the clothes. Harry recog-
nized them at once. "T'll slip them
plices comes in may fool him" The
Harry, his face concealed, sat down
to wait. His patience was soon re-
warded- Joe entered after q cautious
kLock and. seeing the old woman,
went over to her and spoke. Harry
faced him. The amazed Joe started to
run and landed in the arms of the
police.
Take him to headquarters" said
Harry, and the four started off. It
was an oportune moment when they
arrived The inspector and lima were
still puzzling over the paper from
the dentists desk.
From Joe's pockets his captors pro-
duced a blackjack and a pack OF
cards. These latter did not interest
the police. but they did interest lima.
She seized them with the Rreatest
eagerness and after a rapid examina.

to the inspector.
