phrase tauntingly at him on the very
night when she had murdered old
Lum Simons, proprietor Of the gam
bling house in Atranto. that little
mining town in the Sangre del Cristo
country, where Knowles had just
come that day! 1t was a long cry,
he knew, even as he held her from
slipping of, from the New Mexican
mountains to Washington, and a
longer cry from a dance hall girl to
Mrs. Emery Thayer, but Archie
Knowles was willing to stake his
word on the surety Of his knowledge
that the girl and the woman were
the same.
Come on, Zita,' he said, lets have
tea together-and I'll tell your for

He could feel her startled culver,
then her tense stiTening under his
grasp. Haven't you made a mis-

came beside him.
"Well?" she shrugged. since we're

The thought that she might be
telling the truth that her question
implied dangled before him the temp
tation OF probing deeper. For, IL
Frank Rimball was in the habit Of
meeting Mrs. Thayer at her COM
mands. what might be the effect OF
the knowledge Of it upon Madeline
Connor? Ever since the day that
Kimball had failed her by leaving
her in the church after she had
tainted at the sound of the voice
forbidding the marriage. Madeline
had been more than gracious to the
older man. What IL Kimball proved
actually unworthy? Knowles tried
to put the thought out Of his mind.

enemy's camp. This might be. as
he had frst suspected, a trap. It

Of its patrons come alone, and few
enter with any purpose weightier than
the Willing away Of an idle hour!
But among the few who came that
day after he had been with Madeline
Connors was Archie Knowles.
He had known from the moment
that the bellboy at the Raleigh had
given the note to him. that the
heavy white letter-unaddressed and
unsigned though II was-had been in

day and have your fortune told"
might have been written to any man
who happened to receive it. 1t might
even be part OF welI-planned adver-
tising scheme. But the old sixth
sense in Knowles. trained in his Colo
RADIO boyhood and his later residence
in the New Mexican mining camps,
assured him that the note had been a
decoy. and that II had been sent to
KimbaH. Therefore. since KimbaII
was expected, KIMBALL WAS NOT
TO GO.
As ne sat IN the corner. his back to
the wall, Knowles asked himself who
sent the summons.
Wa Tsang, probably. since the Hum
ming Bird was in all likelihood his
property. or. at least, his to COM
mand. With that idea IN mind the
Major waited and watched. Something
was going to happen-he knew some
thing was going TO happen-betore
he left the Humrning Bird. But moth
ing AT all out Of the usual occurred
until a gypsy girl. gay in red and
green and yellow. bright of eye and
heavily laden with brilliant bangles,
haunted her way through the room
Through the spaces between the
tiny tables she threaded. pausing

Knowles. watching her keenly in
recollection OF the message that he
had unwittingly intercepted, realized
that she. too, was watching and
waiting. Was it for KimbaU"
As she came toward his table ne
took the off chance. and drew from
his pocket the envelope that the bell
boy had given to him. He saw her
start and stare at him. In an in
slant he knew that. whoever she was
and whatever her purpose, she had
recognized him and knew that he had
somehow blocked her game. She
started to turn away. and the thought
came TO him that he had seen her
somewhere before. That toss Of the
head, that lift of the chin. that fash
Of the eyes-where had he seen them
before? She whirIed back and came
toward him. Ee almost laughed ~
