flung into corner in damp cellar.
A tall, heavily built and altogether
stunning Granadian leaped upon her,
leashing her arms to her waist and
binding her ankles together. He
jerked Adams belt from her. Coarse
ness and brutality, and that he was
grandiloquent and cunning type,
were stamped upon his features as he
stood over her.
She crouched back, disheveled, I'M
afraid, searching her brain to account
for his audacity in kidnapping her that
night on American soil and right under
the eyes and ears of an American Dor
der garrison.
He seemed to be musiRg over the
belt with his back partly toward her.
Just behind him a cluster of electric
lights from some unknown and fitful
current burned in the ceiling, reflect
ing a shadow against the farther wall.
There was something unusual about

was animated.
Although Pearl had never heard Boz
lero's voice, she was quick to recognize
something odd in the Granadian ac-
cents which were now spoken.
"Senor has badly Numbered. This
is not the girl, although this Is the belt.
Senior will hide the belt somewhere.
The girl must be released at once. She
is the American coloneps daughter and
Captain Payne was to have been her
husband"
Pearl not only heard this speech
in surprise, for she could not see Bo-
lero's lips move at all, but what was
more confusing was the disappearance
OF the shadow though Bolero had not
changed his position.
His meditation, II such II was, came
to an end. He concealed the belt In

had transpired.
The place suddenly filed with Boz

FIFTH EPISODE
Somewhere in Granada.

For several seconds no one stirred.
All stared at Adams in sheer amaze
ment. 1t was Toxic who broke the sus-
pense by entering and whispering to
Miss Dare.
Pearl looked at her chauffeur blank
ly. "Where-here? Did she give you
her name"
Toxic shook his head.
Miss Dare excused herself and
stepped into the corridor. There a
naughty and styllshly dressed young
woman awaited her.
Pearl Immediately recognized the
girl whom she had seen when the
corpse of Captain Payne was discov-
cred at the railroad wreck.
"You are Miss Dare, / believer"
Pearl bowed formally. "And YOU"

A thrill shot through Pearl. "Ad-

restrain herself.
"Yes-is he here?"
Pearl eyed her suspiciously. 'IIe

him through me?"
Bertha placed the packet and note
in Miss Dare's hand. "Not ten min

explained. "He was dressed in the

''Why, of all persons, were you cho-
