This personage was the Princess. Par - lova, a fabulously rich Polish Russian. She leased a floe house near Central park and Pet about to conquer social Now York.. This was not very d"iiisult, for her title was perfectly genuine and elle moved in the most exclusive diplomatic articles in Europe wbich, as everybody knows, is the most brilliant in, the world. When the new dome was completely decor- ated she gave an elobrate dianer, and that attracted the newspapers. They began to talk about her higbnese, printed portraits of her, and devoted a page occasionally-- in the Sunday editions.. She became something of a rage. One morning it was announc- ed. that the Princess Parlova would give a masked ball to formally open her home to society; and it was this notice that•tirst brought the Princess Parlova under Braine's eyes, He was at the Perigoff apartment at the time. "Well, well!" he mused aloud. "What is it?' asked Olga, turning away from the piano and ending one of Ohopin's mazurkas brokenly. "Here is the Princess Parlova in town." - "And who is she?" "She is the real thing, Olga; a real princess with vast estates in Poland with which the greedy Ste'? uext door has been,yery gentle." "I haven't paid much attention to the social news lately. , What about het?" - "She is giving a masked ball to formally open her house on the wes,. side. And it's going to cost a pretty penny." "Well, you're not telling ice this to make me want to know the prin- cess," said Olga petulantly. "No. But I'm going to give you a letter of introduction to her high- ness." ,.0!" And you are acing to' ask her to invite two particular friends of yours to this wonderful ball of hers:" "Indeed," ironically. "That sounds all very easy." "Easier than you think; ny child." •"Well, then, Olgo." "That's better, Now, how will it be easier than I think?" "Simply this, the Princess Par - lova is an oath -bound member, but has not been active for years." "Olio!" Olga was all animation now. "Go on!" "You will go to her with a letter of introduction - no! Better than that, you will make a formal call and chow her this ring. You know the ring," he said, passing the tailsman to the countess. "Show this to her and she will obey you in everything. She will heave no alternative." "Very good," replied Oiga. "And then the program is to initet that she i dale IN NW II COUNTER CHECK L� BOOKS .� 1 "There is no'heed of sending your orders for rounter`ebeck books out of town. . 1 We oan fill orders prompt- ly at pr's as that will defy competition: A k to see nue Remtlles.

It's pure bald luck on their side, but sooner or later the wheel will turn. And any chance that offers I am bound to accept. Somehow or other we may be able to trap Florence and Norton. I want both of them. If I can get them enugly away Jones will. be forced to draw in flargreave," "le there such a man?" "You saw. him that night at the restaurant." . "I have often thought that perhaps I just dreamed it.". She turned again to the piano and began humming idly. "Stop that and listen to 'me," .said Braine, DOE. in quite the best of tem- pers." "I'm in no mood for whine." "Music does not soothe your soul. then?" cynically. "If I bad one it migh"'. You will call on the Ptincees Pavlova to -mor- row afternoon. It depends upon yon what my plans will be. I think you'll have little trouble in getting into the' uresence of her highness, and once there she will not be able to resist you." "I'll go." "And go she did. The footman in green livery hesitated for a myweut, but the title on the visitirig card was Trate sufficient. Be bowed the coun- tess into the reception room and went in search of his distinguished mis- tress. The Pincers Parlova was a hand- some woman verging upon middle age She was a patrician; Oige'e keen eyes discerned that int.tantly. title casae into rhe reception room with that dignified serenity which would have impressed anyone as genuine. She held the card in her fingers and smiled iugniringly to• ward her guest. "I confess," she began, "that I re- call neither your face nor your name. I am sorry. Where have I had the honor of meeting you before?" "You have never met me before, your highness," answered Olga sweetly." -, '"You come on a charity errand, then?" "That depends, your highness. Will you be so good as to glance at- this? Olgaasked, holding out her palm upon which the tailsman lay: The princess shrank back, paling. "Where did you get that? she panted. -'Brom the head," was the answer, "And you have followed me from Russia?" whispered the princess, her terror growing. "0, no, The Black Hundred is as strongly organized here as in St. Petersburg, But we always keep track of theold membere, especially when they etand so high in the world as yourself." . "But i v',• is calved ens; ba; ray -- ed!" exclaimed the princess. "They urged me to join on the ground that the 'organizeiion was to attempt to, bring about the fceedom of Poland." Olga shrugit;ed.. "Yes were rich.' highness. The Black Hundred need- ed money." "And you need, it now?" eagerly, believing that she saw a loophole. "How -much? 0, I well give a hund- red' thousand rubies on your promise to leave me alone, Tell m'•!" "I am sorry, your highn se, but 'I have no authority to. accept such no offer.

"Uwe we the list," aatd the prin• nest+, wearily. "Who gave you that rine?" "The head." "la Russia?" "No; here in Amnesia" Olga dip- ped into her handbag and produced a blip of paper. This she handed to the prittceds. "litre is the list, high. cess." "Who is Florence Hergre€tve." "A friend of mine," evasively, "Does she belong to the organize- tior.?" "\Tose "hien you have borne u1 '-tlor pur- pose in having me invite het'." "I have," nnawere;i 0:g4. sharply; "hut that does not concern your high. flees in the least." The princess bit her floe.

I wish you good -day," "And also good riddance," murmur- ed Olga under her breath as she role and started for the hallway. Thus it was that when Norton went to the office .the next afternoon be. found abroad, white envelope' on hits desk, Indifferently he opened the save and hie eyes bulged, "Princess Parlova request" and so forth and so on, Then he shrugged. The cheif bad probably asked for the invitation and be would have to write up the doings, a phase of reportorial work eminently distasteful to him. He went up to the city desk. "Can't you Sad sOnte. one else to do this stuff?" he growled to the city edi- tor. The city editor glanced at the card and crested envelope. "Good Lord, man Nobody in Chit office had any- thiug to do with that. What Luck! Out' Miele Sayers tried all manner of schemes, but was rebuffed on all sides, flow the duces did you chance to get one?" "Search me," said the bewildered Norton.,' "If 1 were you I'd sit tight and take it all in," advised' the editor. 1''s going to be the biggest eplurgt" 01 its kind we've had in years. We've been working every wire we know to get Mise Hayes inside. but it was no go. This princess is nor onto the game yet. In this country you get into so- ciety or you don't through the Sun- days." - "Hanged if I know who •wished this, thing on me," "Take it philosophically," said the editor sarcastically.. "The princess won't bite you. She may even- have aeen your picture-.--" "Get . ul1" grumbled Norton turn- ing away. He would go out and see Florence. On the way out to Riverdale he came to tbe eouciusiob that the fiat of the princess fell short and some friend of his who was helping the woman out suggested his name. It was the only way he could account for it. - But when he learned that Florence had on invitation exactly like his, own and that she received it that morning he became suspicious. "Jones, what do you think of it?" he questioned. u "I think it was very kind of 'the Countess. Perigroff suggesting your name and that of Florence," said the bunter urbanely. "Olga?" cried Florence, disappoint. edly. "It is the only logical deduction I can make," declared Jones. "They are both practically Russians." "And what would you advise?" ask- ed Norton. - Why, go and . er joy ynut selvee. Forewarned is forearmed The thing is, be very careful not to acquaint any one with the cbaracter of your dis- guise, least of all the Countess Peri goff. Beiidee," Jones added smiling, "perhaps I may go myself.". "Goody I've read about masked hells and have always been crezy to go to one," said Florence with eager- ness, "Suppose use go at once and pick out some costumes?" sugg•'sted Nor- ton. "Just as conn as I can get my bat. no'," replied Florence, happy as a •Iark. • "But mind," wiened Janet; "he sole that you see' the cttrtomcr alone and tbat n.; i>ne else is about" "1'11 take particular care," agreed N.trtott "We've got todo some hustling to find ermothing suitable.

The man obeyed wonderingly, "1 want a pair exactly like these,' said the, detective, "Row much" "Two dollars eaoh, rental; seven apiece if you wish to buy them." "I'll buy them," The detective paid the bill, nodded oprtily, and returned to his taxicab, "Now, I wonder," mused the cos.tumer, "what the dickens those in- nocent looking .young people are up tot" Bo never found out, On the night of 'the ball Norton dined with Florence for the first time; and for once In his life he ex- perienced that petty, disturbance of collective thought called- embarrass.. meat. To talk over war plane with Jones was one thing, but to have Jones serve soup was altogether an- other. 411 through dinner Jones 're- plied to questions with CO more arid no fess than 'Yes, sir," and "No, air." Norton was beginning to..learn that this strange man could put on a dozen kinds of armor and always re. tain his individuality. And to -night there seemed something vaguely fa- miliar about the impassive face of the butler, as if he had seen some- where in the past, but could not tell when or where. As.he and Florence were leaving for the automobile which was to take them to the prin- cess', the truth came home to him with the shock of p douche of ice cold water. Under bis breath he murmured; You're a wonderful matt, Jones; and I take my hat off to you with the peeped admiration. Rang me!" "What are you mumbling about?" asked the happy girl at hie side. "Was I mumbling? Perhaps I was goingover my catechivm. I haven't been out in society in so long that I've forgotten how to act. "I believe that. We've been in here for five minutes and you haven't told me that, you love me." "Good heavegs1" And his arms went around her so tightly that she begged for quatter. "Bow strong you are!' The splendour of the rooms, . the dezz"ing array of jewels, the kaleido• scopic colors, the perfume. of the banked flowers, and muslc all com- bined to put Florence into a pleasur- able kind of trance; And it was only when the first waltz begun that she became herself and surtetpdered to the arms of the man she loved. And they were waltzing over a vol- cano. She knew and he - knew it. From what direction would the blow come? Well, they were prepared for all wanner of tricks. In an :alcove off the ballroom sat Braine and Olga, both dressed exactly like Norton and Florence. Another man and woman entered presently and Braine spoke to theni for a mo - went, ailif giving'iiietructiona, which was indeed the case. The band crashed into another dance, 'and the masqueraders began swirling hither and thither- and yon. A gay cavalier suddenly stopped in front of Florence. "Enchantress, may I have the pleas- ure of this Banes?" Jim touched Florence's hand. But ebe turned laughingly toward the stranger. • What difference did tit make? Tho man' 'would never know who she was nor would she know him. It was a lark, that was all, and despite Jim's warning touch she was up and away like the mischevious sprite she was. Jim remained in hie chair, twist- ing bis fingers and wondering whether to laugh or giow angry. After all, be could net blame her. -To him an affair like this' was an ancient story; to her it was the door of fairyland swung open. Let her 'enjoy herself. Florencewas having a splendid time. Her partner was asking all sorts of questions and she was reply- ing 111 kind, when ont of the, crowd earne Morton (as .she supposed), who touched her arm. The cavalier stop- ped, bowed, and made off. Norton whispered: ' I, have made an important discovery. We must be off at once. Come with me," Florence, without the least suspic- ino in the world, followed him up the broad staircase. What with the ruany'sounds it was not to be wonder• ed at that the difference in the quality of voices did not strike Florence's ear 1te odd, The result of her confidence will that upon reaching the upper hall's, opposite the dressing rooms, she was,suddeuly thrust into a room and made a prisoner, When the light Was turned up she reoonizsd with her- ror the woman who bad helped to kid- nap her and take her away on the George Washington weeks ago. She could not have cried mit for help if she had tried. Meantime Jim get up and began to wander about in search of Florence. Braine played a clever game that night. Ele and the Russian, still do- minoed like Norton and Florence, ors dered the Hargreave sato, by number, entered it and Were driven up to the to the pilt.t eochere of the Elerga rave house. The two alighted, the chauf- feur sent the car toward the garage, and Braine and hie companiou ran lightly down the path to the street, whete the (.tttl nbieh had followed, picked tht m up. grew It more and more evident to Jim that something iii.towatd had taken place. Ile could not find I"''lo- rence anywhere, in the alcoves, in the t.idte rooms, the supper or caul room.

"Where's Florence?" "Isn't she with you?" cried Jones,. making an effort to dispel the drow. elnees, "What time is it?" suddenly, "Midnight! Where is she?" "Midnight? I've been drugged;" Without a word Jones staggered off to the kitchen, Jim at his beele. There was always hot water, and within five minutes Jones had drank two cups of raw coffee. "Drugged!" he murmured. "Some one in the house! I'll attend to that later. Nowa the chauffeur! But the chauffeur swore on hie oath that he had left Jim and Florence on the steps of the port cocheree. "Get in!" said Jones to Norton now fully alive.Se could not getit out of his head that some one in the house had drugged him. The events which followed were to both Jones and Norton something like a series of nightmares. In the new home of the Princess Parlova a bomb exploded acid fire followed the explosion. From pleasure to terror is only a step. The wildest confusion imaginable ensued. 1'.ioet of the guests were of the opinion that some anarchist had attempted to blow up the house of the rich Pole. Jones and Norton arrived just as the smoke be- aten to pour out from the windows. A, crowd•had already collected. Then JIm overheard a woman mas- querader eay; "The fool made the bomb too strong. She is In the ropm on the second floor, The game Is up is she suffocates---" The voice trailed off and the woman became lost in the crowd, But it was enough Per the reporter, who pushed his way roughly through the excited masque- raders and entered the house. The rescue was one of the most exciting to be found on the newspaper files of the day" So Braine in his effort to scare ev- erbody from the hoose had overreach- ed himself once more.
