Florence was a fortnight in recov. ening from the ebock of her experience at the Maeked ball of the Princess Par- Iova, who, by the way disappeared from New York shortly after the fire, no doubt because of her fear of the Biaek Uuedred. The fire did ,net. dee- troy the house, but most of the, furn- isbings were so thoroughly drenched by seater that they were practically ruined, Her coming and going were a nine days' wonder, and the pub- lic found something else to talk about. Norton was a uonstant visitor at the Hargreave place. There was to him a new interest in thatmyeterious house with its bidden panels, its false doors, its secret tunnels: but he treated Jones upon the same basis as Hitherto. One thing, however: He felt a eense of se- curity in regatd to Florence such ae he had not telt before. So, between assignments, be ran out to Riverdale and he did what he could to amuse his sweetheart. Later, they took short rides in the runabout, and at a length she became as lively as' she had ever been. But often she would catch Norton brooding. "What makes you frown like. that?" "Was I frowning?" innocently en ough. "I find you this way a dozen times in an afternoon, What is the mat- te!? Are 1 hey after you again?" "Heavens, nut I'm only a vague issue, They will not bother me so long ate I do not bother them. It has dwindled into a game of truce." "Do you think so?" eyeing him cur- iously. "Why, yes," "What's the .• use of trying to fool ire, Jim? If they haven't been after you, you are sensing a presage of evil. I'm not a child any longer. Haven't I been through enough to make me a woman? Sometimes I feel very old.'i "To me you are the most charming in all this wide world. No, you're not a child any longer, You are a wom- an, brave and patient; and I know chat I could trust you with any secret I have or own, But sometimes a per. sou may have a secret which is not his and which he hasn't any right to dis- close," She became silent for a while. "I hate money," she said. "I hate it, hate iti" ' "It's mighty comfortable to have it around sometimes," he countered, "As in my case, for instance. If I were poor and had to work no one would bo. heir' wne," "I would!" he declared, laughing. "Dome, le.'e throw off monde, and go into town for tea at the Rose Garden; and if you feel strong enough we'll trip the light fantastic." They had been gone from the house less than an hour when a man ran up the steps of the veranda, and rang the bell. Jones being busy at the rear of the house, the maid came to the door. ICOUNTER .

The door began to close ever so e�lowly, "Do you know where I can find her?" The maid eyed him with covert keenness; then, remembering that the reporter was with Florence, said: "I believe she is at the Rose Garden this afternoon." "That is in town?" "Yes" "Thanks." The man turned abrupt. ly and ran down the steps. The maid ran back to Jones. "Why didn't you nail me?" he de* mended impatiently. "Thera wasn't time" "Did you tell Ishii where she was?" "Yes But I shouldn't have told him if Mr. Norton had not been with Mise Florence." Jones ran to the front, dashed out, eyed the back of the man hastening down the street, smiled, and returned to his work, or, rather, to the maid. Ne took ber by the shoulder, whirled her about, and shot a look into her eyes that quailed her. "Always call me hereafter, no mat- ter what I'm doing. The mean has nev- er laid eyes on Florence, and bas no idea wbat else looks like, Why did you drug my pollee the night of that hall?" She stepped back. . "And bow much did they pay you for letting that doctor send Florence to Atlantic City? I know everything: Hereafter, walk straight, If you play another trick I'll kill you with these two hands, And listen and tell this to your confederates: I always know every move they make; that is why no one is missing from this house, There is a traitor, Let them find him if they can. Will you walk straight. or will you leave?" "I—I will walk �raight," she falter- ed. "The money was too big a tempt- ation." "Did they give it to you?" "Yes, And more to say here. But this is the first bit of dishonest work I ever did." "Well, rememher what I have eaid. .Another miestep and I'll make an end to you. Don't, think I'tn trying to Frani you, You've witnessed enough to know that it's life and death in this house, Now run along." At the Garden Jim and Florence sauntered among the crowd. not par- ing any 'particular objective point in veivv. "SW" whispered Jim. '•What is it!" "Olga P.•rigoff is yonder in a box." "Very well; let us go and sit with her. Is she alone?" Apparently. But don't you think weld better go elsewhere?" "My deer young man;" saki Flor- ence with mock loftiness, "Olga Peri - golf has written me down as a -simple young fool, and that is why, sooner or later, I'm going to put the shoe on the other foot. You and Jones have -cod- died me long enough. Inasmuch as I am the stake they are playing for, I intend to have something rteore than a speaking part in the play." "An right; you're the admiral," he said with pretended lightness. So the two of them joined their Subtle enemy, conscious of a tingle of zest as they did so. On her part, the countess was always snspieious of this'; sleepy eyed reporter. She never could tell how much be knew. But of Florence she was reasonably pertain; and so long as she could fool the pret- ty infant the suspicions of the report- er were of negligible quantity. She greeted them effusively • and offered them chairs. For half an hour they sat there, chatting inanities, alt the while each mind busy with deeper concerns. When the mat in search of Florence eventually arrived and asked the manager of the garden if be knew Miss Hargreave by sight the manager pointed toward the box, The man wound his way in and out of the .idl- erg and by the time he bad reached the box, clam and f+'lorenee had spade tbeir departure, The man bowed, ap- proached. and asked if she was Miss Hat greave, For a moment the coant• ess euepeeted a trap.

In tete tminitatte the "Very welt," The waltsr bowed and strolled away moncbalantly, Braine was in Boston over night, otherwise. the oaunteee would have taken the mysterious note at once to biro, She remained for perhaps a quarter of an hoer longer and then left the garden. She would have, talc - en tbe letter to her awn apartment but for the fact that the chemicals needed were hidden in the cave, Now It happened that Flbrene.e went out for her early ride the next Morning, and crossing a Held she caw a elan with a bundle under hie arm. The, sun struck his profile and lihmed it plainly, and Florence uttered a low cry. The man bad not observed -her.. So, very quietly, she Blipped from the horse, tethered It to a tree, and etart- ed after the roan to learn what he :was doing so far from the city. She would • never, forget that face. She had Been it that dreadful night when the note had lured her into the hands of bar enemies. The face belonged to the man who had impersonated her fath- er. It occurred to her that she might just as well do a little detective work on her own hook. She bad 'paeaed through so many terrifying epiapdes that she was beginning to grave for the excitement, strange as this may deem, Like a gambler, who has once played for high stakes, she no longer found pleasure in thimbles and needles and pins. She followed the man with no little skill and at length saw bim approach a knoll, stoop, apparently press a spring, and a bole suddenly yawned. The man vanished quirlkly, and the spot took on again its virginal appearance. .A. cave! Florence had the patience to wait. By and by the man appeared again and slunk away. When she was sure that he was beyond range, she came out from the place of concealment crept up tbe knoll, and searched about for the magic handle of this strange door. Diligence rewarded ber, and she soon found herself in a large, musty. earth - smelling cave. Loot was scattered about, and there were boxes and chairs and a large chest. Men evidently met here, possibly after some desper- ate • adventure against society. She found nothing to reward her hardi- hood, and as she wail in the act of moving toward the cave's door she beheld with terror that it was mov- ing! She was near the chest at that' moment, The cave was not a dap one. There was no tunnel, only,a wall, Resolutely she raised the lid of the cheat, stepped inside, and drew the lid down. She was just in tiros. The door opened and three men enter- ed, talking volubly. They felt per- fectly secure in talking as loudly es they pleased. To Florence, it seemed almost impossible that they did not hear the thunder of her heart, Strain her ears as she might, she could gather but little of what they salt), except: "If Hargreave bad this paper we might all be put on the defensive. To an outsider it is a blank paper. But the boss will be able to read it. " The speaker moved away from the vicinity of the chest and she heard no more. Very deftly Florence raised the lid just enough to peep out. The man who had been talking was putting the note in bis hip pocket. As he turned toward the chest he sat down on the soapbox immediately in front cf the cheat. An initpiration came to the girl. an exceedingly daring one. She took her liberty in ber hands as she executed the deed. But the dimness of the cave aided her. When she crouched down the magic paper was here. - It seethed hours to her before the wen lef„ the cave. As she heard the hidden door j ar, in closing she raised the lid and stepped out, breathing deeply. The paper she had purloined was indeed blank, but Jones or Jim would know what to do with it. And wouldn't they be surprised wheat she bad accomplished all alone? Her ex- ultation was of short duration. She beard the whine of the door on ire hinges. The men • were returning. Why? ' They were returning because they had discovered a woman's shneprint outside. It pointed toward the cavae freshly. and there was none corning away. To re-enter the chest would be foolhaldly. It would be the flret place the men wooed took. She glanced about deaparatelt'. She saw but one chance, the well.

Braine con• tinned to pole along, .sometimes paus- ing to look over the gunwale down into the. water. In raising hie head after the Iast investigation be discern- ed something struggling in the water, about three hundred yards away. The current leisurely brought the object into full view, It was a young woman with just power enough to keep her- self afloat. The golden head roused something inher stronger than cur- iosity. It might be 1 • Braine proceeded to move the launch in the direction of the girl. It was tole movementthat turned the report er's gaze. He, too, now saw the wom- an in the water and wondered how she bad come there. When Braine reached the girl and pulled her into the 'Auntie Jim eau/ her ' face plainly. Be flew from his vantage point, found a skiff, and started after Braine. "By the Lord Rarry 1" murmered the rogue, "Well, they can talk of manna from Heaven, but this is what I call luck. Florence $argreave, out of nowhere, into my arms t The god of luck has cast another - horse-shoe and it's mine." He had a fb k in his pocket, and be fnrced some of the biting spirits down the girl's throat. She opened her eyes. "Well, my beauty r Florence eyed him widely, not quite understanding where he had come from. Don't know how you -got here," he said ; "and I don't care. But here we are together at last.') Where is your father?" "•I don't know; I have never Been bim," Braine laughed. • And Jim's boat ran afoul some rocks and into the water he went. He had not attracted Braine's attention, for- tunately. He begen,to swim toward the drifting launch. "Where have they hidden that money " "I don't know." "Welt, well ; I've given you your chance, You'll have to try your luck with the water again." - Florence, weak as she was, set her lips; "You don't ask for mercy 1" he said b'tnteriogly, "I should be wasting my breath to ask for mercy from such a monster as you are," she answered quickly. "That damned Hargreave nerve 1" he snarled. He rolled up his sleeves and stepped toward her. She braced herself but did not turn her eyes from his, Bud- • denly, from nowhere at all, came a pair of hands. One clutched the gun - whale and the other laid hold of Braine. A q tick pull followed, and Braine began to topple. But, even as he fell be managed to fling himself atop his a8sailant ; and it was only when the struggle began in the water that he recognized the reporter. All the devil in him came to the surface and he fought with the fierceness of a tiger to kill, kill, kill. • In nearly every instance this meddling reporter had checkmated him. This time one or the other of them should stay in the water.

The boat in which she sat continued to drift Witty from the fighting men, Once sbe tricil to "reach Braine with the pole he had been using, but failed, From the shore came another boat. For awhile she could not tell whether it contained friends or enemies. It was terrible to be forced to wait, absolute- ly helpleee. When she heard the new- comers call encouragingly to Braine she knew then that the brave fight of her +sweetheart was going to come to naught. She knew a little about mot- ors. She threw on the power and headed straight toward tbe row -boat The men shouted at her, but she did not alter ber course. The row.boat bad its aides crushed in and the men went piling into the water. "Jim," she cried. Norton absolutely flung off Braine and began to swim madly for the mot- or boat, which Florence had brought about. Even then it was only by the barest luck in the world that Norton managed to catch the gunwale. The rest of it was simple. When they fin ally reached a haven.. Florence, odd- ly enough, thought of the horse she had left tethered nine miles from the stables, She laughed hysterically. "I guess he won't die. We can send some one out for him. Now for heav- en's sake, how did you get into this ? Where were you ?
