Dear Billy: That affair is now life and

you've seen me- Bring two good revolv-
ers. Don't bother with the telephone--my
wires are cut and I'm prisoner being
starved to death in my own fiat.
Billy-this is the biggest story-and ro-

the house the elevator boy will tell you
I'm not at home. It's a Helm upstairs.
If he refuses to bring you up, walk. If
he tries to prevent your coming up-er II
he calls on the detective sitting in the

do this till you've tried every other pos

Drop everything and come-only don't
drop the revolvers-mine was taken that
night. And Billy-you'd better leave a
sealed envelope with some friend telling
where you are and that if you don't tele-

CHAPTER X.
A Prisoner.


"Alone at last!" That was my first
feeling as sank into my easy chair to
collect my thoughts-alone with a mil
lion dollars worth of diamonds -alOne
on the sixth floor with monsieur oc-
cupying lawfully the fiat directly TX
der minel And what was / to do?
Obviously. the first thing was to
hide them, and since they'd been safe
once in the hyacinths wasn't going to
tempt fate by changing the place. So
I put my fresh bunch in water, poked
the diamonds among the stems and
threw the old bunch away.
Soon done-but my real problem lay
IN barricading myself SO that mon
sieur could not get in again. Remem-
Der, he had the use Of the same fire
escape and dumb-waiter shaft, to say
nothing of the hall stairs-he could
come and go in the house as he
pleased.
The dumb-waiter I counted out be-
cause I could easily wire up the catch
and make it impossible for anyone to
open the door from the shaft side
without actually breaking the door off
its hinges-a most unlikely thing for
monsieur to attempt.
Fortunately, I kept kit of tools in
the house-rm not one of your help
less women who can't drive a nail or
sink screw-and my next act was to
take the small chain-bolt that had been
on the front door and put it on the
hallside Of the kitchen door. Then l
changed the keys on this and the bath
room doors to the hall side. From the
fire escape, monsieur could enter only
those two rooms, and with their doors
locked-and one -bolted--on him,
he would have to break them off their
hinges to get at me that way.
The bathroom window didn't give
me much concern. The sash was stuck
fast by the last painting and couldn't
raise it myself the glass was too thick
to be cut readily and didn't believe
monsieur would advertise himself to
the neighborhood by breaking it. But
I drove a couple of nails above the
sash just for luck and then gave my
attention to the kitchen window.
Since he'd gone out that way, he'd
very likely try it to come back by. The
glass was thin--he could cut it out
easily; he could even smash it and
come through so quickly that nobody
would see him. But all right, monsieur,
thought /, I'm going to give you your
moneys worth-rll make you stand
on the fire escape long enough for the
neighbors to get good look at you.

wire and I tackled this across the sash

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT


Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition. they may cause the other OF
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
oition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
