' Juno stood before her new nequnliit- Alices hesitatingly. She did not know w ho I hey were, and yet she did not de sire to olfend litem.

The black curtained limousine Just ahead wheeled around the corner and dashed up tbe hill nt high speed, with the faithful Hill Wolf wabbling ou be- hind like a Japanese balloon. As Cmiiilughaui entered. June, nfrald, colled for Ollbert Hlye, mid be eauic hurrying Into the room, n sc.owl upon his dark, handsome face.

Bhe turned nguiu to tho door, nguln to the stiili-s, then stood and looked nt GUliert Blye's jnouey, her high cheek bones white nd llideclwlon on her brow. Uphill nud downhill rushed the black curtained limousine with tbe Mooro family car still. lu hot pursuit. . ' Occaslouully the- well known and Justly famous private detective, Bill Wolf, loosened his clutch for uu In stant, but tightened It Immediately. .The sharp featured woman with the long nose and the high arc-bed brows rolled her electric coupe up to the 'door of her own house und went into the parlor. V - . ; - : ' Juno closed her eyes. Suddenly she sprang to her feet and,' running to tho door, placed the (tiled back of a chair beneath (be knob; (hen she stood for u moment In earnest thought Bhe walked -slowly to the wardrobe nnd opened it.

With feverish speed she donned this ex quisite garment, 'congratulating herself that it lilted her beautifully. - In the parlor Orln Cunningham ant with two young women. The young man wus playing the piano, und n third young woman In the middle of tbe floor was laughing and executing a fancy dance slop. Over by the window stood Gilbert Blyc wlih Sirs. Itussel.

' ; "She Ih .simply stunning," said Mrs, Hussel appreciatively, "i'o yon sup pose she will live here?" Gilbert Hlye -smiled,, and., shutting the watch with a decisive click, he put It In bis pocket and walked 'into tho hall. As lie started up the stairs he stopped, surprised by the beautiful figure which emerged from a room and came down toward him with queenly grace. It was .In no. an en trancing vision of loveliness in her bor rowed finery, nnd lu hor eyes waa n new light. "Will you give me a cigarette, please V" she gnyly requested him, and be looked nt her lu astonishment. '. "Why- why, yes!" ho stammered. , Ho produced his case, and she look, a cigarette. Still studying her curiously, he III his pocket lighter for her, nnd a slight frown twitched upon Ids brow as, puckering her beautiful red Hps, sho blew a long thin stream of blue smoke Into bis face. "Come on." she called, nud, taking his arm, she tripped smilingly Into the parlor, with, a sidelong glance, how ever, as she left the hull, nt the stal wart attendant who guarded the front door. "Whoso dress am I wearing?" she cheerfully demanded. " "It's mine," said one of the girls. Jumping up from the side of Cunning ham and walking nil around her. "Hut. honey, I'm bound' to say (hat It lookw belter ou you than It does on inc." And there wnH a trace of envy In the compliment. "By GeoTgo, 'you're n dream!" said Orln Cunningham, who had been (oo much astonished (o rlso until now.' and, with a sidelong glance nt Gilbert Blye.' he walked across to her. nnd from his pocket he drew n long while 1 leather cuso closed with a, golden elasp. lie opened It, drew something from it and, Ills eyes sparkling, held up a string of milk white pearls. ''How about It?" She Unshed her large, lustrous eyes at blin. and her rosy Hps parted In a smile; then she looked at. Gilbert Blye. He. hesitated u moment and nodded Then she bent her head, nnd Cunning ham threw the string of penrb nrnuntl her beautiful while neck. She put her arm through his nnd merrily darned across the room to a mirror, where with sparking eyes she admired the pretty bauble. "I think I'll have n cocktail, please." she said, turning suddenly to Mrs. liussel. "Why has no one offered uie one?"

You must stay fu here and wait."- . "Not me," laughed Cunningham. . "Then I won't surprise sou." And she flounced Into a chair wllh n pretty pout. "Here, Cunningham," called the young man- who had followed June, "we want that surprise," "Sit down. Cunningham." sold Hlye. and lie indicated where Cunningham was to sit while he held bnck the por tieres for Juno to pnss. She stopped lu the curtains. "Now, mind, none of you Is to come! And ha vo another cock (nil ready for me!" She whispered Something In Blye's ear ns she hurried Into (he hall. He put his head out, bowiver. nud looked nt the liveried attendant. That stalwart person stood stlilly.at the door and cast Ids' gloomy eyes ou June. He was the tyiw of man who woii!u-ns Her murder a' beautiful, woman as nu ugly one. Halfway up (he slalrs June turned and found the eyes of the. stalwart guard fixed steadfastly .upon her,-She smiled HWcetly at b'm .and beckctied.
