Ravengar smiled back at her, but he did not put down his weapon.
 A moment afterward she reached behind the portieres and pulled 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. MT. Rom anoff?'
 Could free herself from the man who was her husband in name alone That was Leontine's thought as she sat miserably in her room alone. Suddenly she sprang to her feet as new idea came to her. It brought the flush to her cheeks; it seemed a shameful thing-yet it might mean her freedom from Sebastian. No sooner had the idea come to her than it assumed mastering force. She dressed hurriedly and slipped out of the house.
 She took a street car downtown. She must have sat breeding in her room for hours, for it was already late and the crowds were 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 tion was directed toward a 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 companion. At that moment the woman dropped her fan. The act was done with certain de liberation. Of that Leontine was sure. She knew, too, that it had been done to attract Sebastian; she knew all this as only woman understands the mo- tives of other women.
 Sebastian picked 1t up, bowed, and handed the fan to the woman in the motor. She thanked him with a smile and pressed something into his hand. Leontine saw the fiutter of a piece of paper.
 The motor drove away. but Sebas- tian stood reading the note under the light A moment afterward he bade

FIFTH EPISODE
Blanca Deals.

"Red" Finn had almost forgotten the fact that nature had assigned him many parts to play. He was so good an actor that he identified him. self with every part completely. For five years he had been Red Finn, the name of man he killed in q Mon- tana Gambling house. He spoke like a Western desperado, his verbs and nouns were 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, clutching the stolen confession in his hand, he made his way hastily to his shack. He found it unharmed after the earth quake, changed his clothes, ate a 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 Romanoff, role he had filled in Germany, with great success, six years before. His nouns and verbs made up; and as the rough desperado became a 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. He soon came to real ize 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.
 It 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 RdFenSaT, StdTteu ueINouSiy, never theless, when the strange name was announced He had been breakfasting 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

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 gar.
 Unable to stir, she could not but hear the ensuing conversation:
 "Mr. Navarro, your name is men, toned in a certain confession" said Romanoff. 'I have it here." He drew it from his pocket and held it in his hand.
 q know all about that" answered Sebastian, swallowing hard. "A man in my position is naturally the victim of conspirators and blackmailers. If you have come here to blackmail me, you have mistaken your man. How ever, my time is valuable, and rather than waste it in having you arrested. am willing to nay you hundred dol lars for that confession"
