FOR a long tlmo Zudora. paced her room. rlh wan troubled.' That afternoon Htorm had pleaded with lier no strongly to leave Iicr uncle, luiirry him, and go far away tlint she had be drawn almost irio slsllbly toward Iht lov.ur, From time to time lie paused before noma object, moved It ab stractedly, or.d resumed !kt pacing. Tha youth in her wanted to fly away and be happy. The thought of her vast fortune) often tor rilied her. The moment th world found out Iliat "lie wan to rii?h an heiress hIic wnuld bo beset with all sorts of devices by fortune hunt er. Every grndo of beggar would he at her doorstep. More thnn Hint, she hud made noma itraugc enemies during her short earner as a Jetectlve; and If then? ludivlduala knew of her n-iMtltb they would leave no atone unturned to trap her and hold her for aouie enormous rau om. A 111 lie money, enough to take care of her ami supply her simple needs that was all die craved. Hut twenty millions! In dollar she could hardly count that sum during her allotted ream! Bomelimes she found herself on the verge of (sMug her undo, Hassani All, to take th hulk of It and let her lie free to do ae aha thought At. Hut always she stepped hack from the threahold of this act. Great dreams af doing good In the world held her. Hha dreamed of helping humanity with these mil lions; to buy farms and convert there Into oonituunltlc for thrifty hut uufortunat peo ple; to build -rest hospitals, children's play grounds. She determined that these dreams should become realities just as soon as she had acuomplMied the twenty tasks Imposed upon her by her uncle. .'he longed with all her heart to go to John Storm; but her word to her uncle was like a harrier of stone. Rut loiilitht life had suddenly developed new aniile, Slit was la tore) ah was young ahe had a right to lie hnppy. And she waa lighting a battle between loyalty to her word and the urglngo of her heart, Besides, It waa Quite possible that the very next ease might e th last. Several times so far ahe had escaped death b a hair. That la Itself did not deter her, for she was as courageous as a llun. Itut she dhl not rare to court dealh ahe the grimiest happiness In the world wa ivlthln ariu'a reach. 8h slopped suddenly before a window and preened her hut forehead against the root pane. Over th great clly hung that almost lurid bar the million lamps thrown against th shy. Hudiletily all hesltanc left her; her res olution was formed. She walked quickly to her writing desk and sut down ta write. She weuld accept John Storm's plea ; she would go to him the very uoxt day. I.t her uncle become furious; was not her lover more to her than this strange mou who was all Hint remained of kith or kin, who followed strange culls, performed extraordinary feats ut one lime and the veriest huuibuKS nt aumbrr? She would run away on the morrow and marry John Storm. And lo provide nitnlimt iny weakening In this resolve, she would write, aim nt once to this effect. Downstairs the bell hunt. Anted shuffled is the door. A very beautiful Vtuninu entered. '1 should like to see your mnslrr, llnisnin Ml," she Mild iuielly, " IIao ,vuu an Appointment 7'' asked th tenant, bowing. "One sera him nt night inly by appointment," " I believe he will see me." she replied w ith I singular smile. " Aiiuouuco Mudnuie Iu Roy." " Yea, madam." The servant returned di rectly. " Follow me, msdauie ; the master will rciwlv you." " I thought so." Haiisain All stood by till crystal as Hhe en tered, Al a sign the servant took hlmwlf off. "I wse not expecting you, inadamo," said iTassam All, but he smiled os he. spoke. " Mr. Cbnng could not come. Of course you know that yon inn trust our organisation." "Tee. Ilut did Ouing confide In you?" An almost Imperceptible frown flitted across llse eaib Alls face. He knew the Cnuouidiin women; he was wary In trusting them with vital secrets. A Chinaman, on the other hand, was like sand; he absorbed but never gave back a secret. Htill, In the present case he was bound to trust this woman. A quarter of an hour passed, when she took her leave, leaving Hasnum All quite satisfied. He was reasonably sure that Zudorn would be taken off his hands this time, and in a manner which would totally baffle nil the detectives In Manhattan. Hut there waa a hurt in it; it was going to cost money ; his beautiful gold would be some hundreds lower ; for ffu Chsng never accepted any thing but sold for his serv ice. Tou cannot mark gold ae you ran paper money. Wn Chang was the wisest oriental in New York. Among the various races which inhabit this enrt'i none Is lea known than the Chinese, One hears a tale now and then that comes down to the coast, and those who know China believe all that comes down to the coast.

There was a certain monk who thought he bad discovered gunpowder; there was a man who thought he hnd discovered glazing for pottery ; there was a (ienimn physician who liono.il ly believed that he had discovered hypnotism. All fallacies of opinion ; the Chinese had In vented these things, or discovered them, long before the Christian era. Wu Chang bad taught rTussam All all he knew about hypnotism; and hypnotism vitally concerns Zudora in this episode of her adven tures. A bit of greedluesa which is inherent la all orientals-on the part of Wu Chang proved his ultimate undoing. Wu Chang spoke English with remarkable fluency. Only In his dvn did he relapse Into the gutturals of his native tongue. Men ap plied to his arts as men applied to Haasnui All, There lived in New York nt this day a weal thy old bachelor who had adopted a son. Th old man was absolutely alone In the world; and this kind of man has a horror of dying and havfng strangers divide his money. Aa this son grew up he evinced a stupidity that anuoyed hla father greatly. Tutors by the score gave up the hoy aa a hopeless job; and It Mills had not possesurd a certain amount of vanity Zudora would have vanished from Ih face of the earth. Curious, Isn't It, how these thing dovetail? The loss of an envelope in Singapore may be the cause of the ultimate death of a man In Chicago. Mills had had dreams of this boy becoming a great orator, eventually a statesman, just as an ordinary father would have dreamed over the career of a real sou. Mills had on day bragged about the boy'a prowess In this direction, and foolishly entered the boy in an oratorical contest. Then he started out ta hunt for some one to roach Ih boy, and Anal ly came te the door of a Chinaman! Yea, for a price Wu Chsng would make an orator of the boy for one night. This was al) MUla desired to ease his vanity. The price wag rather stiff, but he agreed. Wu Chang brought the boy under th spell of hypnotism and put a brilliant speech on th hoy's tongue, All that was necessary now was the presence of Wu Chang at the content, t'nfurtuuntely for Chang, this night was close tj a far more lucrative and dangerous mission. You cannot throw two stone with two hands, Zudora bud written Storm, and everything was prepared for her flight. From a crack la the door llassnm All's man watched her cu riously ns she packed her belongings, Just enough of cloth to see her at her Journey end. Storm was to meet her with an autii. Hhe was to leave her room by way at t lout rope, Tli Hindu eerviiut rrturund to !)! mattes In report that the memsnhlb was letting ready to run away. And 1 Usee in Alt set his scene Immediately, Wu Chang wad Uhrti lu Ball an hour later and he very quietly changed costumes with th Hindu. " Uemember," warned llasaam All, " If si see you, or uottcca anything wrong, she will escape." "Trunt me," smiled the Clilnama. It was growing dark by now. A street Unlit spurted several times and then Mated brilliantly. Zudora heard the runibl of her lover's automobile slid pulled up the window without milking a sound, r'.he pave the whistle atreed npou, end Htorm and his chauffeur mnniincd to get the ro up to her, She fas tened It eocurely to th foot of the bed. Not for a moment did alio feel any regret She hud for hei1 uncle n certain fondness, but, due to his general coldness, It bud never devel oped into real love. The only thing she really did regret leaving behind was th carrier pigeon. It was too late now. . . . Why, she thought, how atrangoly the room begun to appear! Was it fog outside? What was this strange and unaccountable desire to laugh, to fling her things about? Seized with a sudden and terrible knowledge, ahe tried to turn. It was Impossible to stir! ,' "Sleep!" she heard vaguely. "Sleep!" Zudora'a eyes closed Irresistibly. Wu Chang stepped In front of her and touched her fort head. The man's own forehead was covered with sweat, for this had been a tremendous exertion of will power. Had the girl been able to turn he would hare failed signally. " Be a child," ha whispered. " He a child. Now you are yonng and happy, without a car In the world. Too are youn,?" t'. i , . it v..- :j c Ti . v .. V: : f : V. H if i nut " 2K I AU . V " 0, yes ; I uin a fhild." Zudora begnn to laugh. Wu Chang picked up the photograph of her lover nnd held H before her. There was no recognition In her eyes. He had won. Zudo ra aat dowa. Below Htonn whistled frantically aud won dered what had thus delayed his sweetheart. Chang heard these shrill calls. ,.' '' " Go to the w indow, child," he wild. Zudora got up sud walked to the window. She looked down calmly upon her lover and never made Huy siu'n that she saw him. If it had heeu lighter he might have noted the stouliiees of her look, the unnatural pallor. "What In heaven's name has happened!" murmured the distracted lover. At any mo ment llasaam All might appear upou the scene. Still ke waited. Chang left the room. " It la done!" he said to Hussam All. "It is something I've never been able to accomplish, Hhe Is very strong mentally." "But at that moment she waa thinking of love," said the oriental. " Now we hav no time to waste Upon discussing the science of th 0 thing. That young man may at any time become suspicions and break in. Let us act at oace. You shall for the present become Wu Chang and I ehall remain the servant of Hsssom All, You have uiekeupv Come; hurry I" In a very short time the two returned to udoru, They put her hat and cent n nnd led her from the room. " Storm Sahib has gone around to th rear!" cried the real servant "(lond.t" said his double. To Hussam All lie said: "You and the girl leave now, by the frout door. I'll handle your man." "Do nothing violent," said Hassam All, who, though he greatly desired the death of Storm, did not care to hav the affair takt place on th premises, There was, as had beim staled before, no lnva lost between him and the polk. He followed Chang's ad rice without mora ado, and waa snugly inside a tail with Zu dora when Chang opened the door to Storm. He made a though to close the door asnln, but Storm waa too quick. He rushed In fear lessly, and, aa Chang dosed lu, flung hint aalda before th Chinaman could put th trick In his leg to throw Storm. Th loves rushed headlong tip the stairs to udorn's room, saw the rope attached to th bed, the sultcns, but no Zudora, Hansard AU had tricked blmt Ilown th stairs ha rushed, wild with minor, Chang awaited hlin, but for a second time he was not quick enongh. The hirer dnshctl from the house, to be Informed by his excited chauffeur that a Chinaman and Zudora had vntcreit a taxi which had stood opposlt and had been driven away. "Which way?" 'Straight ahead!" " Come on, then! And drive Ilk the dVltl rid you get th license number?" "Too dark to see; but there was a crack (0 the tall lamp." It wn wild goes chase, for tbay never rsme withlu sight of a red lamp with a rraek In It. Ilut there wna on thing that John Vrm knewi if aught In th way of Imrm l fell hll sweetheart he would kill Hnseam All with his liitre hnnds. 1 "Suppose we go down to Chinatown ao.l make a try?" siit'Ccsted the chauffeur. See'Zudora" Every Thursday at the Bligh Theatre A good Ideal By dint of Inquiry they learned that a Chlnnman and a woman had been seen enter ing Wu Chang'a teashop. Storm waited for over nn hour, and as no on came out he con cluded that this waa a case for professional detectives, and he straightway sought their aid. Together they went over the records of Chinatown, but Wu Chung was not a tong nan; there had never been any opium smug gling; ha waa one of the few Chinamen down in that crime Infaated liolo who stood clean upon the police records. Still, they were will ing to make a thorough investigation. Hnssnru All, atlll disguised as Chang, en tered the supposed tea merchant's house and found Mrs. Dn Roy awaiting him.

IT RESULT ED intme Capture of wu chang and the release of zudocia. no need. She must remain in this condition until long after you are out to hcii. I don't care If she never comes out of It." " You're il strange kind of uncle," mused the ivonintif wondering what won behind tills unnatural attitude of the num. ' "That's my liiwiness," said Hassam All xrullly. "Now, Hnd me tt room for the girl. I am not going to trust to luck." "There Is a wnllcil room; the method of getting in mid out of It ia secret," "I rather believe you can trust me with the secret," sold Hussam All grimly, " Follow me, then." Zudora had to be led. She was physically capable as aver, but her mind was tempo rarily blank. Once In the nulled room, she sat down placidly, after the manner of per sons hypnotised, and stared at her hands. It was all Hassam AH could do to resist the desire to bring her out of the trance and tell her what was going to happen, but his bump of caution was abnormal. She might escape somewhere along the route, and that would wind up th affairs of a certain uiysllc who, for a commission, advised old ladles when and how to Invest their fortunes a commission which, by the way, usually couslsted of at least half of t lie sums Invested. The real Wu Chang, lu the meanwhile, left the house of Hassani Ail at what might be called the psychological moment. Ten min utes later (he house was under the espionage of a plain clothes man. Mr. Chang, a (Table tea merchant, was driven to one of the up town hotels he aoiiietlmes frequented. He wanted an alilil. Besides this hotel was quite near the hall where the adopted son of Mill was to make bis brilliant speech that sum night. It was a delightful thing to mak money with right nnd left hand. But, as has already been anld, you cannot throw two stone with two hand nnd hit any given target. Chang went to tha hall, took a sent where h could focus the eve of the boy, and waited patiently for his debut, It must have been exceedingly dull business for a mind so keen as Wa Chang's to be forced to listen lo tho oratorical apoutlngs of green young intellects. But Chliinman will tnrry until the reapor comes It so be Ihero ia gold at the end. When th boy finally came toward, blink ln and frightened, old Mills for a moment thought Wu Chang hnd betrayed him. But all at one th boy teomed lo slraUhtcn up, and prcMiitly he began to apeak. The vole was unpleasant and monotonous! no hypno tism In th world could change that. There wcr some surprised people In that hall, you May be sura, especially among the Judge. From the audience there com occasionally a rippl of applause. Th sweat boie.n to form upon Wn Chnng' forehead. Two such ex ploits In on day were terribly eueivutln. fa'hen the affair was over Ih slllTened flur of th Chinaman relaxed. II found some nilTlculty, too, In opening his thin, tnpeiinit bands, which had been tightly clinched tinder the concentration of hi will. "Ar you siitlslIrdT h whispered rather weakly to Mills, who ant next to him. ' I am; and 1 will keep to the letter of my bnvaaln." " And never limg acirin about your son' oratorical power. I doubt If I could bind him airaln." .Mill flushed, but for ell that h waa mighty glad to be hlKh, and dry on shore. Ila would send the boy on a long tour. Peopla would forget. Chang entered Mills' automobile, nnd plain clothea man recognized his face and Immediately warned Storm and tha other offi cers to watch Chang's house, Chang ordi narily would have kept away from liia home, but he was weak and tired and wanted Any, needed the sol nee of his poppy pipe. . Arriving home, he at once conferred with Hussam All and was glad to learn that Zu dora had been confined to the walled room. At dawn Mine. Du Hoy would convey her to the ship that was to sail for Cherbourg. From there they would drop down to Mar seilles and sail for Hongkong. Zudora Tralnor would never be beard of again. " I think that before I smoke I will see that yonng lady." said Chang, smiling. Hussam All smiled, too. In his mind's eye he waa counting rip the enormous pyrauiiidi WW'S y- of Kold coin. He would build himself a pal ace close to I'nria, n ml uo prince in Ilin lustnul would rival him In luxury. Yet lux ury would require the spending of those pyra mid; und stniljjhtivny h's enthusiasm grew cold and died. " I bear automobiles," he anld suddenly and with apprehension. " ' Chan; placed a hand to his ear. "And they are atopplns In front! I will take cure of the girl, and see that yon piny the part of Wu Chang well. This is a crit ical moment. It may be the police. Speak softly and kowtow as often as they unit ques tions. Your makeup In tills light will fool them." " No; you remain nuJ let me go to Zudorn!" " Fool! I nm master here. Do as 1 soy!" Willi that Wu Chang ran toward the al cove behind which was Zudora'a prison. Hassam All swallowed with difficulty; he was courageous only when he was sure of result. Mine. Du Boy had already vanished. He was nlone. lie roused his will ami sub dued his ahaklng knees. A bold front for a few moments, and the difficulties would be surmounted. The bell began to Ting violently, and Imme diately after there followed a furious ham mering Storm, furious wilh anger and fear, " That won't do any good, Mr. Storm," advised on of th detectives. "There'll b better hammering than that presently that Is, if Chnng has bad a hand In this abduc tion." " But they may be hurting her!" "That'll make the hammering all the bet ter," grimly. " Ha! Some one nt the door; old Chung himself, I should say." The door opened, nnd what looked like th bland face of a cultivated Chlnnmnn peered out at them from th half opened door, " Cleiilleiuen, what is this?" " It means, Mr. Chang, that we will have to search your house. Orders." " And for what?" "This gentleman here," aud the detective Indicated Storm, "claims that yon abducted a young lady this evening, and that ahe it here." A low chuckle followed this statement. "This evening I was at the Delhi hall, I hav Just relumed. Abduction? Tha young Ulan la mad. Kilter, p. .se, and tea rob." Hassam All was doing very well, consider ing tha stole of his knees. Storm and the detectives crowded past Mm and swarmed iibout the house. There wns i good deal of unnecessary racket. As Rtortu was passing the alcove he Flopped short, con vinced that he bad heard a cry, He listened Intently, but heard nn further sound. Half an hour later th detectives trooped buck to their taxis, their previous convictions that Wu Chang wns a good Clilnnuian atronger than ever. "She Is In that house," said Storm stub bornly, "and I'll get her out alone If neces sary." Th detective abrugged cominlHcrntlngly nnd took solace lu cigars, Htorm hnd heard a cry, This la what ha I tnkro place behind the above: Chnng, curi ous to learn what Zudorn would do. drought her back to her senses, nnd, reasonably scour In this haven from outside Interference, pissed his bands before her face. Over hi wmmtfi shoulder peered his assistant, bis. heady c;;el blinking at the benuty of the prisoner. Slowly Zudora returned to the world. Th facca looking down nt her were anlBcVnb She gave a cry, And this cry Storm heard. Instantly Chang and his assistant seized ) ' and hound and gagged her. Then the orien tal tried to throw her back into the trane but he failed, for Zudora wns not taken un awares thla ttuip:- She wus ben-lldAreil nnl could not dream what had happened since) that moment she had started for the mpc which hung from her boudoir window. Th two wills fought for minute, and then W Chang stepped back, sighing. He had wnstol too much power that night. Th girpa mind was now free, however well her body wa bound. So he left her for the night. At dawn sh would be on the high seas. The sooner Ih better, so far ns he was concerned. When that liner drew out of her slip Hassam All would place in his hands ono thousand ahlo Ing disks of gold. But the answer to tele phone rail at dawn dismayed Wu Chan,' The liner would not sail until 4 In the after noon. Ships do not always sail on scheduled time. As for Storm, he did not take his clolhei, off at all, nnd he was something of a wreck when ho nle a meager farrnkfaat He ha! heard Zudoru call for help ns plainly an it ho bad secu her. He thought nnd thought, , nnd llnnlly, recalling certain curloii feature In Wu Chang's house, fell upon what he he .'leved to be the true solution. A secret room, behind that nlcove, from wlicnce th vole hnd enmol Ho aeized th telephone nn-1 routed out half n dozen grumbling detectivv ., Storm was a coming power; a turn of tit wheel might lift him lo tho position of ills- tricl attorney, nnd tho detectives wnnteir-M be.nn the right side of bini in Mint event. There was n bit of bluff In his ileclnrniina that he hud been mysteriously (lppmcd of (he fact, that there was n hidden room in Wt Chung's house nnd that Zudorn wna there., , The detectives were still skeptical. ' " T return lo Zudorn. She was still aa Chung had loft her, bound, gagged, holplcac. There wan only one bit of consolation: hel mind wna lier own. Through a Hinnll, hlgsj window outwardly giving the appearance of -belonging to the next house the sun poured in brightly and warmly. She gazed about eagerly, endeavoring vainly to find something aliarp upon which she could saw her houdsj. The room bad been (nnd evidently still was) a kind of seclusion for Wu Chung when h desired to puisuo his modes of culture, Thert was a table upon which Htood a reader's magnifying glass attained to a trass tjuickly Zudora calculated the raya of irei sun ns the inspiration came to her. She win quite oblivious In the sudden sounds coming faintly through the wall. If she could but reach that table! Fortunately ahe was -1 bound to the chair. She rose slowly an4 took abort little Junips. balancing heiWll nicely. If ahe stumbled nnd fell, gol-h liberty or the chance of It. It took three minutes to reach the lablj With her elbow she hitched the gl so thai the sun fell full upon It. Instantly the booh beneath emitted a bit of smoke. Zudora turned nbout so that this burning ray be came focused upon th hempen curds. She, felt the smart and sting of flame upon hei ' wrists. But that was nothing. The rsy wai ' shriveling th rope; she could smell Itl flu trained suddenly at her wrists and vial free! It took but a moment to untwist tin rope and tear away the bandage, Fiitol about She listened, A pounding began to tnkt place against the wall outside. Her lover bad found herl Storm and the detective had enters! un ceremoniously this time, nnd a fine bit of war fare ensued. Chang lost hie temper ami In doing so lost his liberty. He drew a knife and sprang at Storm with nil that deadly fury ol en angry Chinaman. A lucky bullet from ona of the detectives wived Storm' life. Seizing a handy object, Storm begnn to bent in the wall of the alcove, even while the deeper tt battle between the detective and the China men raged flcrooly about him. il nen ttie name was over and Chang wal in th-..

And ut 111 further below a big room half tilled with the devotees of the drug. I.nler Hassam All sat In bis mjstlc room and heard from her own lips Zmlorn's remark able adventure, " My child, you had better give up the rtrug gle.

"Very well, my child; but remember that I have wnrned you." No sooner wos she gone from the room th,i . lie set lo plan some new deviltry. But fot ', two weeks he trembled.

A little black pellet In his mandnriu'l ring opened the way out. 'TO B COaTMUB-VS
