Interesting conversation was interrupted by the advent of Norton, He was always dropping in duripg the lute afternoon }sours. Florence liked hiss for two reasons, One was that Jones trusted him to a certain' extent and the other was that , . . . that she liked hien, She finished this. sentence In her heart defaatly. To -day he bought her a hoe of beautiful roses, and at the sight of them the princess smiledfaintly. Ser the wind in that quarter? She oould have laughed. Here was her revenge againet this meddler who took no particular notice of her while. Flor- ence was in the, room. She would eucourage him, poor grumbling news- paper writer, with his beggarly pit- tance ! What chanes bad be of of mar rying this girl with millions within reach of her band? The peculiar thing about this was that Norton was entertaining the same thought at the same time : what earthly chance had he? In the second storey window of the house over the way there was a wor- ried man. But when his glaeees brought in range the true contents of the box he laughed sardonically. "This watching is getting my goat 1 I smell• a rat every time I aaee a sha- dow." He wiped the lenses of his opera glasses and proceeded to roll a c'garet. When the princess and Norton went away Jones stole quietly up to Florence's room and threw up the curtain. Two round points of light flashed from the watcher's window, but the saturnine smile on Jones' lips was not observed. He went to the door, opened it cautiously, a hand to his ear. Then he closed the door, turned back the rug, and removed a section of the flooring. Out of thie cavity he raised a box. There was ettering on the lid; in fact, the name of its owner, Stanley Hargreave. Jones replaced the flooring, tucked he box under his arra., and made his laic. The men lounging in the shadow heard a faint whistle. It was the signal agreed upon. The man Felton ran across the street and boldly rang the bell. F It was only then that Flor- ence missed the ever-present butler. She hesitated, then sent Susan to the door. "I must see Mr. Jones upon vitally important business." "He has gone out," said Susan, and very sensibly closed the door befor a 71 A Ai Yiniteu'rt fete eaucdeded la gettlug laa- K�cl it WA, tineas to sot, He Iran around to the rear.

There wars another boat. and they made for it. "A hundred if you overtake that beat," said Felton's strange compan-• ion. Felton eyed him thoughtfully. There was something familiar about that voice. Great plumes of water shot up into the air. .Tt did not prove a short race by yally means. It took half an hour for the prisoner to overhaul the par, sued. Is that Jones?" "Yee" Felton fired his revolver in- to the air In hopes of terrifying Jones' engineer;; but there was five hundred dangling before that individual's eyes "Let them gat a little nearer," shouted the butler, The engineer let down the speed a notch.

In reply Jones raieed the precious box ani deliberately dropped it into the sea. Then h3 turned his auto• uratic upon his pursuers and succeed- ed in setting their beat afire. All this within the epece of an hour. During dinner that night (there was not a nook) one walked about the dining table rubbing his han.ls together from, time to time.
