Diamond Bess, who is supposed to gave gotten on at Philopolis ,and Sallie Peck-my Sallie--who was out in the yard when the derailed train crashed in upon her. The poor crea- ture who lies buried in Sallie's grave was identified only by her hair-and it was bleached, although the old woman who made the identification was too grief-stricken to notice it. That's what started me on this hunt, for Sallie's hair is natural and ruddy gold! Miss Copelands was dyed black the same day, so that lets her out even if we didn't know any more. The third girl-the girl at the window -is Sallie and she never left Shafts town of her own free will. The police of the city here wouldn't take a chance on raiding a family of such prominence for the sake of little shopgirl from a small town, but by the Lord, will. I'm going to raid the Copeland's like den of thieves

She's that Delapierre jewel thief, ain't she? Bleached headed, fne-looking hussy. How them society womenII take that kind into their homes as trusted servants beats mel"
 Bleached?'" Trevor, still dazed from the shock, eyed his friend vaguely. 'Alva's hair was bleached a trife, too. That wretched step mother of hers made her have it done in Paris and she grieyed like child over it. That is another reason why l I should have known that girl at the window was not she. for her hear is a ruddy gold"
 What" roared Mike Come, man. Let's get out of this, for we've work to do at last! Goodby, Mrs. Jennet Thanks for your informa- tion: you'll hear fram me again." No attempt was made to molest them on the way back to Trevor's rooms and once there the latter burst out:
 My God, Mike, if she finished a second letter to me and went out to mail it, it never reached me and she disappeared. Do you know what that means? It means she she has fellen into the hands of that gang Of thieves, the worst band of criminals in the country! Five days have passed since"'
 You're going to be a lot of help in getting her out. Trevor, if you go to pieces like this!" Mike clapped him on the shoulder. ''If you could only think where it was you saw that Fred the Ferret whose mug you recognized at Headquarters yester- day!
 "Rut I cant. I do. He's one Of the new servants at the Copeland house." Trevor sprang to his feet.
New Britain herald., 1924-04-11

"I saw him two or three times last week when the place was put in order for the family to come home!'
 And he's one of the gang that Diamond Bess belonged to!". Mike supplemented grimly. I'm going to get Long Distance on your wire thank the Lord, it's provate one.- and then we'll be ready to act!"
 Long Distance?" Trevor repeated.
 'Shaftstown," Mike nodded. My captain told me before I left that if found out I wasn't the whole cheese to get word to him and he'd help. Headquarters here owes him a favor over a certain murder case and it pays its debts. It'll do for him what it wouldn't for me and l want full raiding squad tonight"
New Britain herald., 1924-04-11

What for?" demanded Trevor. "A few plainclothes men could go to the Copeland house and nab the Ferret, but if he doesn't know where your girl is or-or mine eithcr-Great Scott! That girl in the window"
 Exactly. There are three girls missing from the wreck of the Gotham Arrow; Miss Copeland, who was known 10 have been on board,

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Dear Mrs. Janete:
 Sorry not to have let you know last night but I met an old friend ot my family and am visiting her now Please give my bag to the bearer.
 Yours sincerely.
 Alice Smith"
 "Well?" Trevor looked up.
 "'Well." Mrs. Jenneet repeated T went straight ou to that elegant looking chauffeur and told him that the bag had been taken away not half an hour before by young man from the police station,"
 But why in the world"
 Because the handwriting wasn't the handwriting of the Alice Smith who'd come to my house the day be- fore! I'd remembered it from the torn-up pieces of that letter she'd started to write, that I'd brought down from her room and stuffed in that vase, and after that chauffeur had driven off-and he went mighty fast-1 took the scraps up to my room and pieced 'em together, past ing 'em on a sheet of heavy paper. Your friends got that too."
 
 iy hoarse tone, 'I'd rather not show you this now but 1t is necessary if you want to- question Mrs. Jannet further"
 He held out the large sheet Of pa per with the irregular scraps pasted upon 1t edge to edge and as Trevor's eyes fell upon 1t he shook and grew white.
 "Carin, my dearest" he read.
 Come to me quickly at the ad- dress above and take me away for I am in great danger. escaped from mother in the wreck of the train this morning to go to you, but terrible man is following me and has twice threatened me.

Come and take me-" The letter. the delicate handwriting Of which had been growing more and more agitated, ended in great blotch as though tear had fallen upon the wet, spreading ink and Eroan of despair came from Carin Trevor's lips. He raised hsrgard eyes to his friend, Mike, am I going mad This is 1 Alva's writing. the little notes she used to smuggle me on shipboard, and | the dear, quaint way Of expressing herself. Great God!

 To the anxious Mike it seemed an unconscionable time before he was put through on the wire to Police Headquarters at Shaftstown and meantime Carin Trevor piled him with questions whic htried his soul.

If you want to know the truth I don't think it was she they were after at all, and I'll bet that gang would be mighty glad to get her .jff their hands right now if they could do so with safety to themselves,"
