and summery gowns may be either
in print or in monotone pastel, If
not pure white. They are made up

placed in group and otherwise. In
applying the ruffles there is no at

alighted and opened the door, and Reeder
passed into q cozily furnished hall. One door
was ajar.
"Is that Mr.. Reeder?" He recognized the
voice Of Ernest Bracher, and walked into the
room.
The younger Mr.. Bracher was standing with
his back TO the empty fireplace; there was no
body else in the room.
LIE held out his hand and Reeder crossed the
room to take it. AS he put his foot on the
square Persian rug before the fireplace, he
realized his danger and tried to spring back, but
his balance was lost He felt himself falling
through the cavity which the carpet hid.
In another second the trap was closed and
Reeder was alone in a small brick-hned cellar.
From his hip pocket he took fiat electric
hand lamp, switched on the electric current and
surveyed his prison. The walls and floor were
damp; that was the first thing he noticed. In
one corner was a small flight of brick steps
leading to a locked steel door, and then:
"Mr Reeder."
He spun around and turned his lamp upon
the speaker. 1t was Margaret Belman.
How long have you been here?"
Since last night" she answered. "Mr.
Bracher telephoned me to see him and he picked
me up in his They kept me in the other
room until tonight, but an hour ago they
brought me here"
(which is the other room?"
She pointed to the steel door. She offered no
further details of her capture and it was not
q moment to discuss their misfortune. Reeder
went up the steps and tried the door; it was
fastened from the other side and opened in
ward, he discovered. He asked her where the
door led and she told him it was to an under
ground kitchen and coal cellar. She had hoped
to escape, because only barred window stood
between her and freedom in the little room
where she was kept.
Nov what on earth is he going to do?" he
asked thoughtfully, and as though his enemies
had heard the question and were determined to
leave him in no doubt as to their plans, there
came the sound of gurgling water, and in a Sec
ond he was ankle deep.
He put the light onto the place whence the
water was coming. There were three circular
holes in the wall, from each of which was gush-
ing a solid stream.
What is it?' she asked in a terrified whisper
Get onto the steps and stay there" he
ordered peremptorily.
The water came up with incredible rapidity,
first TO his knees, then to his thighs, and he
joined her on the steps.
He slipped of his coat and vest and unbut-
toned his collar.
You had better take of your SKIRT" he said
in a matter-of-fact tone. Can you swim?"
YES" she answered.
Are you very much afraid?" he asked and
took her hand in his.

wonderful having you with Newly are they

He said nothing but carried the soft hand to
his lips and kissed it.

back. He put her gently aside and held his
palms to the door. There waS no doubt now;
somebody was fumbling on the other side. He
went down a step and presently he felt the
door yield and come toward him. and there was
a momentary CLEAN Of light. In another second
he had wrenched the door open and sprung

And then the whole explanation flashed upon
the detective. In an instant he had grpped
