They found the only other inmate
them with an air OF surprise, and
asked what they wanted and what
they wanted with his servants, who
had been ordered OFT Of his house.
He was told that they were going to
search the house for some stolen
property which he had.
He expressed the greatest surprise.
and denied knowing anything about
any stolen property, and said they
were at liberty to search the house.
He requested that the servants be
brought back into the house, and II
they must be guarded. that they be
put in one OF the rooms, Is II was
very unseemly to have them guarded
In front of the residence.
This suggestion was complied with.
and the servants were put in one Oh

search Of the house was q long and
tedious process. The reader Is IA

this story.
A thorough search was made OF
WI himself, but no trace OF the chart
was discoVerable. A consultation was
held after the house had been gone
over, and il was the unanimous
opinion that the Chiuaman had Sc
creted this chart in some secret
chamber or place OF safety In the
house or about Il, and that he felt
very confident as to its safety. Ac-
cordingiy q new search was made for
the purpose of careful examination 20

| the more public paFloF Of the hotel,
she would recover her composure. II
was somewhat quieting TO her TO have
her friend assist her in freshening
herself up and making herself look
presentable for the parlor.
She sat down near an open window.
and the nurse suggested that she
simply sit down and rest a while, and
pull herself together. She felt that
girl only needed to be given time 10
restore her nerves.
As she sat in this room, revolving
her many perplexities In her mind,
especially what to her was the cons
fusing action Of KimbalI, she became
aware Of The conversations going on
about her.
Not far away from her one enthu-
siast was explaining to Q Congress
man wnom he had coFnered a vast,
new scheme for recognising the
worlds finance. The Congressman
looked bored, but the enthusiast was
only vague snatehes Of his ideas, and
did not gather or care to gather their
import
On the other side OF her two men
were talking about the outrageous
condition this country was falling
into. She heard one OF them say,
'The refoTmers are In the saddle, and
the country has gone to pot Just
think OF it-Woman's suffrage and
prohibition at the same timer
We'll" replied the other man. do
you think the country could hght
war better II 10 had plenty Of liquoPT
II don't know" said the first mar.
Il only know OF one country which
has been in the war and has gone
dry. That is Russia. and you ses
what has happened to g."
How silly and inane all this talk
seemed to her, but they gave her no
relief from the distress OF her heart.
Her whole thought was revolving
about two men, Kimball and Knowles.
As she looked out OF the window. one
OF the indsfatigable white wings OF
the city was pushing his stubby
brush over the street, singing as msr-
rily as II there had never been a war
IN the world, and as II no poor girl
had ever tainted just a. she was
about to be married. His song, which
flostsd up to her, increased her eou-
flicting emotions:
''sam's girl Is tan and slender.
Ny girl is fat and low.
Sans girl wears silks and satins.
Ny girl wears calico
Sans girl u fast and speedy,
Ny girl 10 pure and good.
You think I'D change my girl for Sans
girl?
You're darnsd right. I would.
Unconsciously to herself the tri-
angle was coming into her own life.
II was impossible for her, some way
or other, to entirely dismiss Knowles,
and in her heart OF hearts to entirely
accept Kimball.

While Madeline sat thus in the paI-
lor Of the Raleigh Hotel. still tapping
her foot in anger, though her heart
was wrung With anguish. HendeTs On
and the police having determined that
the Chinaman had made good his eS-
cape, Henderson returned to the Ra-
leigh Hotel, and there found Kimball
IN his room in a most detected state.
In little while they were Joined BY
Knowles. Henderson Immediately a.
quainted both Knowles and kimball
with the escape OF the Chinaman and
his experience, and with the fact,
which he was most reluctant to give,
that the Chinaman had the chart, IN
cluding the triangle.
Kimball had little spirit left, but
Henderson tried TO reassuTe him, and
said: Buck up. old man. Every
thing is coming out all right 1t will
never do to give up. If we lose our
nerve we are lost. and for my part,
don't propose to let this other crowd
beat us"
Knowles seemed in better humor
than either OF the other two. Just
what the secret reason for his good
humor was he would scarcely have
admitted to himself. Henderson
pulled himself together with an effort
and they began to discuss what they
should do. The problem which con-
fronted them was where the China
man would secret the chart. and how
II could be secured. They debated
the chances as to whether or not he
would get out OF the city with u.
II he could not leave the city. the next
thing to determine as quickly as pos
sible was where he might have Sc
creted it
Kimball remembered oVerhearing
the conspirators in the great house
covered with ivy speak Of the build
ing they were in as q fortress which
could not be broken into Knowing
the naturally suspicious attitude or
the Oriental mind, they reached the
conclusion that the Chinaman would
not attempt to take the chart out Of
the city. Putting together their
pieces OF information they came to
the definite conclusion that the chart
must be in the hoUge OF mystery on
Connecticut avenue. They determined
quickly that the thing TO do was To
see to II that this chart was not
gotten out OF the house, and that. as
things were now in 1 desperate state.
no time must be lost.
Henderson decided that they would
go 10 inspector Grant ana get some
detectives, and that he and Knowles
would go out 10 the Connecticut
avenue house and make a thorough
search with the aid OF the plain
clothes men. They secured the neces-
sary papers, charging theft OF prop
crty, and the deputy marshal was Sc
cured to serve this summons and
make the search.
