As inferred, the organization o w n e d considerable wealth, and they leased the buildings in which they had their council chant - bens leased them for a number of years, and refurnished them secretly with trap floors, doore. and panels, and all that apparatus so necessary to men who are sometimes compelled to make a quick getaway, When the Atlantic, pity attempt was turned into aflaeco by Norron'd timly arrival, Braine determined once more to rid himself of this meddling reperter. He knew too much' in the first place, and in the second place Braine wanted to learn whether the reporter bore a charmed life or was just ordinarily lucky. He would at- tempt nothing delicate, requiring fi- nesse. Ho would waylay .Norton and wake a commonplace end of him. He would disappear, this reporter, that would be all; and when they found hilt he might or might not be recog- nizable. So Braine called a confelastl, e„aud he and bis fellow rogues went over a number of experiences, and finally agreed that the beat thing to do would be to send a man to the newt, paper, ostensibly as a reporter look- ing for a situation, With this excuse he would be able to hang around the city room for three or four days. The idea back of this was to waylay Nor- ton on his way to some assignment which took him to the suburbs, All this was arranged down to the smallest detail; and a man whom they were quite sure Norton bad not yet seen was selected to play the part. He had been a reporter once, more'd the pit; so there was no doubt of his being able to handle his end of the game, happen he was given a situation, "I want Norton. I want him badly,' declared Braine, "and woe to youif you ler booze play in between you aid the object of this move." The man selected to act the reporter hung his head. Whiskey bad been the origin of his fall from buneet living, and he was not so calloused as not to feel the sting of remorse at times. Qtten he.longed to leave New 'orkt to start anew elsewhere; bus this naafi Braine wise like a terrier outside a rat cage ailed with rodents. None ever really escaped. "More," went on Brain "I want Norton brought to 41), Is'tl a little off the beat and we can handle him as we please. When we get rid of this newepaper ferret, there'll be another to eliminate. But hes a fox, and a fox must be set to trail him." "And who is their' "Donee, Jones, Jones!" thundered Braine. "He's the live wire. But the reporter first, Janes depends a lot on him.

"As dead as I am; snared Braine' "Two men went away in that balloon; and I'll wager my bead that one man came back. I am beginning to put a few things together that I have not thought of before. Who knows? That ball000n may have been carried eut to sea purposely, Tlie captain en that tramp steamer may have lied from beginning to end. I tell you, Hargreave is alive, and wherever he is be has his band on all the wires, He has agents too, of whom we know nothing about, Hang the million! I want to put my bands on Hargreave just to prove that I a nait,,h�e better man. He communi- cat'ritb Jones, perhaps through the reporter; l e1te had me followed; it was he who obanged the boxes, bored the hole in the ceiling of the tether quarters, and learned Heavens kncews wbat." "If that's the case," said Vroon, "why hasn't he had us apprehended?" Braine laughed heartily. "Haven't you been able to see by this tine what his game h? Revenge. He does not want the police to meddle only in the smaller affairs. He wants to do away wish us one by one; he wants to put terror into the bearte of all of us. Keep this point in your mind when you act. He'll never summon the police unless we made a broad day- light attempt to get possession of his daughter. And even then be would make it out a plain case of kidnap- ping. Elimination, that's the word. Ali right. We'll play at the game oureelvas. No. 1 shall be Mr, Norton, And if you fail I'll break you," Braine added to the ex -reporter. srattmum s "I'll get him," said the man sullenly. Later, when he applied for a situa- tion on the Blade, it happened that there were two strikes on hand, and two or three extra men were needed on the city staff. The man from the Black Hundred was given a temporary job and went by the name of Gregg. As hie 'first copy showed experience, he was promised a permanent place as soon as there was a vacancy. Gregg swilled inwardly. It would be a floe thing to do away with Norton and step into bis reportorial shoes. For three days he worked,faithfully, abstaining from his favorite tipple. He had never worked in New York, eo his record was unknown, He had told the city editor that he had work- ed on a Chicago paper, now defunct. He paid no attention whateoever to Norton, a. sign of no little aoumeu. On the other hand, Norton never went forth on an assignment that Gregg did not know exactly where he was going But all these steries kept Norton in town; and it would be altogether top risky to attempt to handle him any- where but outside of town. So Gregg had to abide his time. It came Boon enough. Norton was idling at his desk when the city editor called him up to the wicket. "Gen. Henderson has just returned to America, Get his opinion on the latest Balkan rumpus. He'd out at bis subarban home. Here's the address." "H)w long will you hold open for mt•?" aeked Norton, meaning how long would the city editor wait for the story, "Till one. thirty. You ought to be back by midnight. Iu'd only eight now." "All right; Hen3erson'd approach- able. J may get a good story out of bine." Maybe," thought Gregg, who hod lost nothing of the oonvereetiou. 1t was his opportunity. Ile im- mediately left the utile of the city desk for a telephone booth. But as he passed the line of desks and busy reporters he did not note the keen scrutiny of a smooth faced, grey. haired man who stood at the side of Nerton'e desk waiting the reporter's turn. "Why, Jones," cried the surprised Norton. "What are you doing al- one this way from home a" "Orders," said Jolter, smiling f..int• ly as he delivered a note to the re- porter. "Anything 1 serous?

The half dozen words. Jones heard convinced him that Norton war again the object of the Black Hun dred'e attention. He had. Been the man's face that memorable night' when the balloon stopped for its passenger. Before Gregg came out of the .booth Jones decided 1;o over- take him and forewarn him, but 'un- fortunately the reporter was nowhere in dight. There was left for Jones nothing else but to return home or follow Gregg when he came out. As this night be knew Florence to be excep• nonslip well guarded, both within and without the house, he decided to wait and follow the spy.. When Braine received the message he was pleased. Norton's assign- ment fitted hie purpose like a glove Before midnight he would have Mr. Meddlington Reporter where be would bother no one for some time -if he proved tractable. If not, he would never bother any one again. Braine gave bis orders tersely. Unless Nor- tonmet with unforeseen delay, noth- ing could prevent his, capture. When Norton arrived at the Hen• derson place, a foptman informed him from the verandah that Genesal. Hen- derson was at 49 Elm street for the evening, and it would be wise to call there, Jim nodded his thanks and set off in haste for 49 Elm street. The footman did not enter the house, but hurried down the eteps and slunk off among the adjacent shrubbery. His mission was over with. hangs by a hair. Do you know where Hargreave it?" Norton eyed his liquor thoughtful, tr. "Do you know where the money Is?" Norton emelt of the brandy, "I am, sorry," said Braine, "1 should have liked to win over a head like yours." Norton noncbalttntly took out bis watch, and that bit of bravado per- haps saved his life In the case of big watch be saw a brutsl face behind. him. Without a tremor, Norton took up hie glees, "I am sorry to disapoint you," he said "but Isbell neither join you nor go to by -by," Quick as a bird -shadow above grant be flung the brandy over hie shoulder into the face of the man behind, Al. most at the same instant Norton push- ed over the table, upsetting Braine with it, Next he dashed throughthe ourtains, slammed the door, and fled to.the street, very shaky about the knees, if the truth is to be told. Gen. Henderson's views upon the latest Balkan muddle were missing from the Blade the following morning Norton, instead of returning to the general's and fulfilling his assignment like a dutiful reporter, hurried out to Riverdale to acquaint Jones with what bad happened, Jones was glad to see him safe and sound. "That new reporter started the game," he said. "I overheard a word or two while he was talking in the booth. All your telephone booths are ramshackle affairs, you use them so consts gtly. I tried to find you, but you were out of eight. Now, tell me what happened." "Sh!" warned Norton as he epied Florence coming down the stairs. "I thought you couldn't comet" she cried, "But 10 o'clock!" "I changed my mind," he replied, laughing. He caught her arm in his and drew her toward the library. Jones smil- ed after them with that enigmatical smile of hie, which might have sig- nified irony or affection, After ball an hour's chat, Florence, quite aware that the two men wished to talk, re- tired. At the door Norton -told Jones what had taken place at 49 Elm erect, e`Abl we must not forget that number," mused Jones. "My advice is. keep an eyeon this Gregg chap. We may get somewhere by watching him." "Do you know where Hargreave it'?" Jones scratched his chin reflectively Norton laughed. "I can't get any- thing out of you." "Much lees anyone else. I'm grow- ing fond of you, my boy. You're a man.T" hanks; and good -night." 'When Ogle. Perigoff called the next day Jones divested himself of his livery, donned a plain coat and hat, and left the house stealthily. To -day he was determined to learn something definite in regard to this soave, hand. some Russian. When she 1, -ft the house Jones rose from his hiding place and proceeded to follow her. The re stilt of this espionage on the part of Jones will be seen presently. 5. The house in Elm street was Braine's suburban establishment. He went there occasionally to hibernate, as it were, to grow a new skin when close preseed. The caretaker was a man rightly called Sampson. He was a bruser of the bouncing type. It was fast work for Braine to get out there. If the man disguised as a footman played his carpsadly, Brains would have all his trouble for nothing. He disguised himself with that infer nal cleverness which had long made him a terror to the police, who were ooking for ten different 'men instead of one. He knew that Norton would understand instantly that he was not the General; but on the other hand, he would not know that he was add- ressing Braine, So the arch conspir- ator waited; and so Nocton arrived and was ushered into the room. A single was ushered to satisfy the reporter, al ways keen eyedand odservant. "I.wieh to see General Henderson," he said politely, "Gen. Henderson is doubtless at his house." "Aht" "Don't be alarmed -yet." said Bra- ne smoothly. "I am not alarmed." repiled Norton.,. "I am only chorgrined. Since Gen. Henderson is not tobe fonnd, I must be excused." • "I will excuse you, presently." "Ah ! I begin to see." '•Indeed 1" mocked Braine. "1 have tumbled or walked into a trap," "A keen mind like yours must have recognized that fact the moment you discovered I was not the general."

Whether the city editor believed him or not is of no matter. Jim went over to his desk. From the corner of bis eye he could eee Gregg scribbling away. He raised his head as Jim sat down to read his mail. After awhile Gregg rose and left the office; and of course Jim left shortly afterward. When the new- comer saw that he was being followed he smiled and continued on his way, This Norton chap was suspicious. All the better; his suspicions should be the hook to land him with. By -and - bye the man turned into a drug btore and Jim loitered about till he reap- peered. Gregg walked with brielter eteps now. It was his intention. to lead Dorton ora a wild goose chase for au hour gr so, long epopgh to give Braine time to arrange a welcome at another house. Norton kept perhaps half a block in the rear of bis man all the while, But for this caution he would have witnessed a little pantomime that Would have put him wholly upon his guard. Turning a corner, Gregg all but bumped into the countess, He was quick enough to place a finger on his lips and motion his head toward a taxicab. Ogle hadn't the least idea who was coming around the corner, but she hailed the tab and was off in it before Jim swung n around the cor- ner. Jones who bad followed the deur- less for something over an hour and a half, hugged a doorway. What now he wondered. The countess knew the man. That was evidence enough for the astute butler. Rua what meant the pantomime add the eutestquent hu'r'ry t" I e'soion leerrned The than Gregg anent thele way, and then. len turned the corner.

What with falling safes, poisoned cigarettes, and so forth, 1 .can readily sea that you have nay welfare at heart. What purtiled me was the -suddenness with which these affectionate signs ceased, "You're a man of heart," said Braine with genuine admiration. "These affectionate signs, an you call them, ceased because foe the time being you ceased to be a menace. . You have become that once more, and here you art!' "And what are you going to do with me now that you have got rat "'Th re will be two courses," Braine reached into a drawer and drew out N think roll of billy. "There are here something like $5,000."

Naturally Jim was mightily pleased when he found the door could be opened. When Jones, not far behind, caw him open the door he etarted to call out a Warning g but thought the better of it. If Norton was walking into a trap it was far better that be (Jones) ehould remainsuteide of it. If Jim, did not appear after a certain length, of time, he would start an investigation on his own account, No sooner was Jim in the hallway than he was set upon and overpow- ered. They had in this house what wee known as "the punishment room," Here traitors paid the reck- oning and werenever more heard of. Into this room Jim was uueeremon- iously dropped when Braine found that he could get no information from the resolute reporter. The room did not look sinister, but for all that it posseesed the faculty of growing smaller and smaller, slowly or swifty, as the man above. at the lever willed. When Jim was appris- ed of this fact he ran madly about in search of some mode of escape, know ing ,full well in hie heart he should not find obe. 1?reeently the machinery began to work, and Norton's tongue grew dry with terror. They had him this time; there was not the least doubt of it. And they had led him there by the nose into the bargain. Twenty minutes passed, and Jones concluded it was time for him to act. He went forward to try the door, but this rime it was locked, Jones, how - 'ever, was not without resource. The house next door was vacant, and he found a way into this, finally reach- ing the roof. From this he jumped to the other roof, found the scuttle open. and crept down the stairs, flight after flight, till the whir of a motor arrested him. Conspirators are often overeager, too. So intent were the rascals upon the business at hand that they did not notice the door open slowly, It did not take the butler more than a mom, ens to realize that his friend and ally was near certain death, With an oath he sprang into the room, gave Braine a push which sent him down to join the victim. and pitched into the other two. It was a battle royal while it lasted. Jones knocked down one of them, yelled to Norton, and kicked the rope he caw down into the pit. One end of this rope was attach- ed to a ring in the wall. And up this rope Norton swarmed after be had dis- posed of Braine. The tidy of battle then swung about in favor of the beta ler, and shortly the fake reporter and his companion were made to join their cheif. Jones stepped the machinery. He miee die so horribly. Later he knew be would regret this sentiment. When the police came, summoned by some outsider who had heard the racket of the conflict, there was no one to be found in the pit. Nor was there any visible sign of an exit. There was one,; however; built against ouch an hour and known only to the chiefs of the Black Hundred, And still the golden tinted bank notes reposed tranquilly in their bid - place!
