At that moment the family car

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. Her chief thought
was (o get tier clothes and try to pro

for her expenses.
And as she paused at entering the

death. He bad wrecked Ned's life, this
dastardly Hlye, and nothing but ft llfo
would pay. On the Very day of Nod's
marriage tbe fellow's evil machinations
had begun.
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. Utlticrt ltlye
polnled sternly to the door, nnd Cnn
nlnijliam, after a moment of Sullen
husltalloii, nffocted to (rea( (ho mutter
lightly and swaggered from the room,
twirling his white mustache. At the
door he turned and cast upon June n
mnlevolcnt glare.
The boarders looked on In surprise.
"Please! rienae. Air," Blyel" begged
June.,' ;
."Comet' His' low vo'.io soothed her.
"You must He down nud reat for a few
uioiueiits, and ( promise that no ono

room, She lurned up' her pleading
eyes to blin, and be smiled down at
bcr. ; He. covered be,r with the folds of
the voluminous black coat, - "I shall
return in tou minutes." he said.
I in tbe basement Murle stood with
Gilbert I! ye's money lu her band. Bhe
'aturted for tbe door. Bhe eamo back
and started for (he stairs. 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. Half a doiten prelty cos-
dunes hung thcre Bhe wits about"
hastily to bring down the least con
spicuous of these, nnd she chose lustcnd
ope of the most elaborate, nil nfternoou
gowu richly trimmed with fur. 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. In his baud be held a tiny
gold watch, und In the open lid there
smiled n portrait of lovely June War
tier. ' ;
"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?"
"Bless your heart, honey,'' laughed
Mrs. Riisscl, "1 didn't suppose you
knew how to drink n cijcktnll.",
Juno was, n bubble, a sprite. .1 danc
ing effervescence, aajny little tantnllza
Hon. until Mrs. Itussel returned with
:ocktnlls for nil of (hem. Ju'ne drank
hers with enchanting abandon. "
Suddenly she whirled to the door,
and Cunnlniiham was after her In n
Hash.
"No, no!" she laughingly cried. . "I'm
going to surprise you. 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.
He hesitated n -'moment, then came
stalking slowly to her. So long as she
was within reach of. ulm he need not
be within rcie. li of the diKir.- - .
"What's your, name?" nud. folding
her bauds together, she beamed down

"Well, Christ lun. now listen," and

"She wants' me to help play a trick,"
he announced, nnd tl.ey nil laughed. .

Gently she lowered the window...
