"Come In." be culled briskly. Slowly, cautiously, yet with not the slightest uncertainty, the door pushed open. Before the visitor npia-rircd on the threshold Lucille knew who It would he. For a moment she was taken aback by Thompson's perfect aplomb. Hbe knew he hnd been the one who robbed her of her necklace, that lie had spray ed her with ether and taken It from about her throat while she slept. And yet not so much as by the quiver of an eyelash did he show any sign of stir prise or fear. "I was delayed, sir," the Imtlvr bo gun apologetically, when I.oiiheiiie lifted his band Imperatively. "You were delayed," coldly repeated the apy. separating every syllable and meting It out as though It were a death Judgment "It la perhaps better that you were delayed, Thoiuiaoii.

"Men do not Me at such momenta '' l'"or Just a moment Thompson hum si lent Tile hush upon Hie room was so profound as to make Hie ticking of Loubeque'a watch strike upon the ears like mallet strokes. Slowly the butler's Index finger moved to the scar upon Ids check. "The man you speak of evidently did the work In the hope of relea'lng Miss Love. I gained this scar while tr.vlnr to prevent the flight, sir" "It's a lie!" Lucille buret forth pas alnnately "That man tried to rob me era In this very house. That was why I insisted upon a maid to serve me when I look the drug you put In the drink." "Why did you uot mention It ul that time'" The spy's teDes were dubious "Ileeuuso I did not wish you to know I hud anything of such value about ' me." "Value? You had no money when you left Manila."

It vi as with a sigh of relief so obvious the spy was obliged (o smile Hint she made half heat led protest at his retirement.

She had half risen to her feet, still lighting against tbe ludicrous Impulse when the shrill hoot of an owl reached from out the mighty dliliui.s of flu. fnrreachlng desert Wa i as And now (he ery seconds Isgged Km rv nerve, every muscle, flexed, for she I. nee not what.

A liny droning sound reached her ears 1 1 in. tin force piercing tbe thick Veil of night Lucille made out tile shadowy outlines of a lean motorcar dimly sllhouettisl against a pile of lava dust. Somelhliig shspeleea and dark a ml furtive of movement crept across the space that Intervened be tween It and the light cleavage of Louhe. pie's quarters. Lucille couhl not resist the Impulse that forced ber from the door Into the BfsM, Something tugged nt her feet, fairly drawing lor away from the scene. Then a strange wave of pity for the iiuhiisi Hug one against whom this furtive ii 1 1 if i. was In 'ng mads urged her forward As the dnrk figure slip ped through the door Lucille thrust her head cautiously within. I'pon the cot lay I ho long figure of the Interna tiona; spy. Ids face turned toward the Silent, imillonless figure that Stood In the center of the room staring at blm.

Lucille alloc, cl her eyea to wander for gtcHri bands ss be tiptoes, toward tbfln. Not s sound disturbed the silence, but something caused her to dart s swift glsnrs at ths sleeper. His eyes were narrowed, but open; lights of amused malice In them she hnd never suspected could show In morlnl oye, lights so malignant she shuddered even as she would bsvs opened her lips to cry s warning. The butler-thief drew closer to tbe price be had worked so herd to gain. His thief's fingers were outstretched to grssp the necklace. when, wltb a crash, tbe lamp darted toward blm, smashing upon the floor sad (saving utter blackness In Its wake. Upon tbe heels of his startled alarm came a chuckling laugh from Lou beque, a laugh that matched the evil that bad glowed from hi eyes so scant before. Came a gurgled oath, tbe heavy breathing of strong men In combat. Lucille turned ns though to run. There came a swift vision before her, one that made her step swiftly within the wall of mantled dnrkness. Byes met ber own eyes, eyes thnt seeansl lo force their way through the dnrk In terior and cause her to forget every thing that had Intervened, eyes thnt mirrored a message of love nnd fit lib and hope to her ns she looked down from Ibe window of the mysterious house In San Francisco Into the eyes of her lover, the innu whoso happiness could not be Insurisl without those pa pers so short a space before her. With tbe thought she sprang Into the room. She bounded high, clearing the bodies of the two men and landing squarely against the table (imping, groping, her hands encountered the cold rubles. Kb thrust them swiftly into her bodice, her left hand contln nlug the search Tapers rustled under her Angara An Iron hum! wns upon her shoulder, but she wrenclusl herself loose end leaped back. Along the wall she moved until her body encountered the swaying door. Kven bb loubeque sprang al her she slapped the dinir shut. There caiue n cry of pain nnd rage, the stumble of feet backward. Lucille fled through the night, fled toward where she had seen the motor car from which Thompson had come to this place II wns a chance, no odds whst orders the ninn hud been given. What commnnds hud he 1 u given? She stopped s second She had been warned to wait for three hoots of the owl, and but two hnd been given Im pulse directing her, she ilif.il her hands to her mouth.

Tile man smiled down at her, shaking his head to signify he did not illidersliiuil the words, even us he dcppisl mi the clutch mid shot Hie car forward like n huge arrow newly re leased from the lsw. and behind some her,, upon the sane load thete was another uinchliie with a determined man lu It. n man who had MfW t allowed lunchlue or mini or even the elements to thwart him Then entile the dull crum litug sound from before her The car swerved viciously, swung lu such an abrupt circle she lung to the side of her scut to avoid being hurled out. The driver righted Ills inn. blue swiftly, dexter ously. nml she slut led to hoove a huge Sigh Of relief Hut only started to, for the front wheels suddenly slipped. seemed smoothly to be gliding upon a surface of nothingness, cluwlug for a foothold. The chauffeur reversisl heavily, fought wltb his wheel, but vainly. Then the heavy ear loat balance, tilt ed henvlly nnd rolled down, down, down Lucille felt no fear. It was nil too deadly for Hint. Mho was only con scious, even ns her tiny hands clutched the edge of her sent, of n droning sound from behind that was growing Into the rhythmic hum of n motorcar. Came a long period of delicious lan guor, of sinking, much as though she floated upon ether; a harsh, crunch ing Jolt and blackness merciful uncon sciousness that closed black shutters serosa the menial vision of her and brought a sweet smile to the lips that had been tightened so long. Bleep Lucille pieced together happenings vaguely after that; then dismissed tbem bb of no account. Nothing ap peared lo matter. Hbe was cotnfurt sbls and partially content. Hhe recol lected for n fractional spine of time being lifted and curried away by strong, friendly, pitying arms. Tbe memory passed Immediately with the coming of su Impression of swift trav el in s motorcur, which, lu turn, gave way jto tbs mors sharply etched In. presslop of being wheeled aboard a train In an Invalid's cbalr. Then came S vision of tha lean, powerful fare of Loubeque close lo ber own, the gentle srftlspey of bis voles close to her ear. calling ber name over and over agnln, while, matching the suffering In his tones, were Ihe deeply curved lines of agony upon his fure.
