ned against precisely such contingency
40 had at last drivsa him out Of public
life.
Without the sllghtest considerable
lead Into that blind labyrinth Of under
ground life wherein the japanese had
taken refuge, Patria's private bureau
Of investigation. under the direction Of
Donald PAR. worked dreaeesly for
weeks upon the problem, leaving no
stone unturned In its efforts to track
down the fusitivss.
At last Parr. innately incredulous,
suspicious and solicitous for Patria's
welfare, was drawn to admit that
Baron Huroki must have hed the coun-
try.
He was at once glad and reluctant
to believe thls-reluctant because he
feared lest some disaster impossible to
forssse develop through overcona-

peril Of assassination which had been
her daily portion ever since. In coming

But II both Donald and Patria
breathed moro freely - day followed

not permit themselves to be deceived.
Bsneath this truce both OWNED an un-
