Shouts came from the road-house The proprietor and a number of men came running out.
 When the fire broke out the group was still standing facing Ravengar His fall and the starting up of the flames were almost simultaneous They forgot him and rushed wildly to the door for safety.
 They could not break it down. The shack was filled with smoke. In tho corner where Ravengar lay the flames were shooting up to the roof, which, was already ablaze.
 They rushed to the window. The shutters were of iron, and heavily pad locked.
 Joe staggered against one of the blazing barrels and, in his fall, hurled it aside. His companion shouted. The barrel had been standing over a trap door, with a large iron ring set into it.
 The trap door came up, disclosing flight of steps leading down into a cellar. By this time the shack was ablaze in every part.
 Blanca cast a hurried look toward Rayengar. He was lying between two blazing barrels. Her heart and her head were in bitter conflict. On the one hand was Ravengar, who had scorned her; on the other Sebastian with his millions.
 Head won. Struggling her shoul- ders, Blanca followed the rest down the steps into the cellar, leaving Ra- yengar lying unconscious where he had fallen.
 The little cellar was provided with a bulkhead leading outside. Sebastian and one of the men rushed up it, heed less of Blanca. AS she was about to follow them the man Joe, overcome by the heat, pitched forward unconscious upon the floor.
 That moment of hesitation changed Blanca. She stopped. She consid- cred again. Now heart won. She 1 turned and made her way back into the burning shack to save Ravengar.
 She could hardly enter on account of the furious heat. The whole of the roof was afire. and sparks were set ting down. The walls were blazing. The smoke was so thick that at first she could not find Ravengar.
 Then stooping, she managed to get her hands upon him and drag him into the cellar.
 She kneeled beside him and burst into tears.
 Then. when he did not stir, Blanca became frenzied She lifted Ravengars S

 She laid him upon the ground a safe distance from the shack, which was now entirely in flames.
 Leontine, hidden in her mantle, had stood among a cluster of trees some little distance away, looking on in hor- TOT which paralyzed her limbs. Ra- vengar was in the burning shack, and her palsied will failed her.
 With a last effort she began groping her way toward the shed again.
 Then she stopped hoping wildly, as she saw Sebastian and one of Biancas men emerge from the bulkhead. They had found a way to escape; and Ra- vengar must be behind them.
 Pulling her mantle about Ter, she went toward them. Sebastian and his companion passed within a few feet of her without seeing her. As he walked Leontine heard her husband say:
 "Well, there's one consolation. Ra- vengar won't trouble us again."
 At the words the girl uttered a scream, and. entirely forgetful of her disguise, pulled the mantle from her head and shoulders and, clutching it in her hand, began to run toward the bulkhead. Sebastian stopped at the cry and, to his amazement, saw Leon- tine few paces away. running.
 He dashed at her and grasped her, yelling at the top of his voice. The proprietor of the road-house, who had abandoned his futile search and had given up all hope of saving the shed, came hurriedly toward him.
 We must get taxi and take her home," he said. "This has been a terrible experience. I should have ta- ken better care of her. She is homi- cidal maniac. I'll recompense you for Jour loss. Call taxi, please"

Leontine, he saw the happiness which she made no effort to conceal.
 Ravengar came forward and nodded ironically to Sebastian. He pushed him back, took Leontine by the hand, and led her toward the door.
 ''Get out" yelled Sebastian, pre- cipitating himself upon the other.
 He struck Ravengar with his full force under the chin. Ravengar reeled back under the sudden impetus of the blow, stumbled, and fell upon the floor. Leontine tried to rush past him, but Sebastian caught her and hurled her back into the interior of the shed.
 Springing to his feet, Ravengar threw himself upon Sebastian anew, trying to seize the key from him. They clinched and wrestled to and fro. Raw engar got Sebastian to his knees; he held his head securely in his arm, while with his free hand he drew the key from Sebastian's pocket.
 He flung Sebastian to the floor. opend the door, and took Leontine by the hand. Sebastian rose dizzily; he staggered, grooming, toward his en- emy. He saw Ravengar lead Leontine out into the freedom of the sky.
 This was the juncture at which Bi- anca and her men came on the scene. Sizing up the situation, and maddened by the sight of Ravengar, who had escaped them, they hurled themselves n; IL shed. They followed him, holding Leontine between them.
 Sebastian, unsteady on his feet, looked ,triumphantly at Blanca. "Take her away" he said.
 "Wait!" interposed Ravengar, hold. ing up his hand. "Leontine, lock the door on the outside when you go out. ;
 Sebastian burst into laughter at the words. They turned and looked at him curiously. He was making some it held an invisible garment. He raised it from his side and moved it toward Leontine, with the manner of one put. ting a cape about her.
 Suddenly a cry burst from Sebas- tian's lips. Leontine had disappeared
 The door opened. The key was with drawn. The door closed again. Joe hurled himself against it just as the lock clicked.
 "One minutel" interposed Ravengar.
 They looked at him in terror, but there was an air of authority about him that maintained silence. He ad- vanced into their midst.

TENTH EPISODE
The Vanishing Mantle.

At the top of the river bank Leon- tine stopped and looked about her in uncertainty. She was in an outlying part of the city which was unfamiliar to her. It consisted of fields, with a few scattered houses; in the distance was a road-house with a shed at the back. Nearby a policeman was talk jug with q friend.
 Leontine hurried up to them. The men ceased their conversation and looked at her in amazement. She was dripping wet, her hair was falling about her shoulders, and her whole aspect was that of a crazy woman.
 Help mel" pleaded Leontine, run ming up to the men.
 T want you to save my friend and wipe out this band of criminals" Leon- tine pleaded after telling her story. "Please, hurry, or I don't know what may happen to him.
 As she turned aside a moment to fix her dress the policeman tapped his forehead significantly. "Wheels P he whispered.
 Il take cnarge or her, said the other
 As Leontine looked up he spoke to her soothingly.
 I'm Detective O'Mara, madam" he said. 'It's lucky I was here. Sure 1 know the gang you speak of, and if you'll come to the station house we'll look into the matter right away"
 Outside the roadhouse he paused. Excuse me one minute" he said. I'm working on another case, and I've got to turn in a report"
 Leaving Leontine outside he entered and went to the telephone. In few moments he had Sebastian on the wire
 Sebastian, who had not learned of his wife's escape from Bianca's house was staggered by the message. He thought hasrily.
 Hold her right where she is,' he an- swered after moments delay. My

 With yell, Joe drew his revolver and fired at Ravengar, who stag gered and fell. The paper which he held fell into the grease barrel. h. stantly column of fire shot up. The shack was ablaze from end to end.
 
 Leontine had failed to understand Ravengar's meaning, but she had trained herself to obey him.
 That the mantle which he had thrown over her in appearance aetu- ally existed, that it made her invisi- ble, were facts undreamed by her.
 Leontine went out and locked the door, as she had been instructed.
 At that moment her attention was attracted to filmy piece of material apparently hanging from her sleeve. Wonderingly she plueked at it. She had feeling as if some filmy garment covered her. She reached up, took it off, and shook herself free. She found that she was holding in her hands mantle, of the thinnest material, and only in places visible.
 AS she examined it the secret dawned on her. On one side the man. tie was invisible, on the other it was visible. Ravengar had thrown it over her with the invisible side uppermost.
 She heard voices within the shack. Ravengar was saying something loud ly, and there was responsive mur- mur, followed by silence. Suddenly the revolver shot rang out.
 Leontine ran toward the door. As she did so a flame burst through the aperture, followed by flames and smoke, that seemd to curl out of every corneyf of the building.

 She had stood at the opposite angle of the outbuilding and watched Se- bastian intent upon his work.
 Then she ran back to Rayengar. Now, standing before him, with her arm about him, to steady him, she urged him to take the mantle and make good his escape.
 You take it, dear Leontine, and go, he said. q am safe enough. I will go over to the road-house and rest there; they will not dare attempt to murder me"
 But Leontine, anxious for him, and thinking nothing of her own safety,

still alarms Monday morning. but
happily neither Of the causes proved
to be of very serious nature. The
first call came al $50 from the resi-
dence of +. T.. Fuller at - Green street
and was due to the throwing into the
cellar way OF some rags which had
been used in wiping off tho kitchen
stove and which unknown to the one
who had been using them had iented.
The rags set fire to the casing Of the
cellar door, but the fire was quickly
cxtinguished by water thrown upon it.
Tic second call came at 1I.05 and was
due TO a chimney fire at the house at

chemicals were used.
