 Disregarding the fate of the bind folded captive, once the Apaches had been effectually disposed of, Kelly and his man made haste to enter the house. They hurried up the runway and dis appeared inside.
 As Pat and her men were adjourn | ing, Kelly and his assistants suddenly appeared in the doorway leading from the hall, and covered the Apaches and their leader with revolvers. The sur prise was complete.
 Hands up!' Kelly shouted. "We wall"
 One by one the Apaches lined them selves against the wall. While one of Kelly's men searched them for fire arms, Pat moved to the farther end of the table. When Kelly started after her, she moved along until Kelly stood at one end of the table, with Pat oppo- site.
 You men come to this end of the table," Kelly commanded his assist ants "Keep the men covered, while go after the girl" was his supple mental order when his men had reached his side.
 But before Kelly could move to make good his purpose, the floor dropped from under the three detec- lives, and they were once more trapped in the same hole where they had before nearly lost their lives. Pat had pushed a button that let the floor drop from under the detectives.
 Kelly was wild with rage when he recovered his breath knocked out of his body by the sudden tumble into the cellar One of his men had fortunate l ly, for the detectives, fallen in such q manner that his body prevented the | sliding sides of the "well' to complete ly reach the flooring.

 While the note was being delivered to Kelly, the Queen of the Apaches was speeding away in her. automobile to complete important details of her plan to thwart the anarchists. Her chauffeur drove her to one of New York's suburbs, where an aviation field was located.
 There Pat consulted with one of her men, who was employed around the hangars, and arranged through him, to have an airplane placed at her disposal.
 Pat had made her arrangements none too soon, for that very evening word was flashed to her that the an- archists would go aloft, after mid night, and drop bombs on the financial district, in the mad hope of obliter- ating Wall street.
