“Where is Prince Eugen now?” she asked at length. “I don’t know, miss.” “He isn’t in this house?” “No, miss.”, - “Ah! We will see presently.” “They took him away, Miss Racksole.” “Who took him away! Some of y<?v r husband’s friends?” “Some of his acquaintances.” “Then there is a gang of you?” “A gang of us—a gang! I don’t know what you mean,” Miss Spencer quavered. “Oh! but you must know,” smiled Nella calmly. “You can’t possibly be so innocent as ail that, Mrs. Tom Jackson. You can’t play games with me. You’ve just got to remember that I’m what you call a Yankee girl. “There’s one thing that I mean to find out within the next five minutes, and that is how your charming husband kidnapped Prince Eugen, and why he kidnapped him. Let us begin with the second question. You have evaded it once.” Miss Spencer looked into Nella’s face, and then her eyes dropped, and her fingers worked nervously with the tablecloth. “How can I tell you,” she said, “when I don’t know. You’ve got the whiphand of me, and you’re tormenting me for your own pleasure.” She wore an expression of persecuted innocence. “Did Tom Jackson want to get some money out of Prince Eugen?” “Money! Not he! Tom’s never short of money.” “But I mean lots of money-tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?” “Tom never wanted money from any one,” said Miss Spencer doggedly.

“Then had he some reason for wishing prince Eugen from coming to London?” “Perhaps he had. I don’t know. If you kill me, I don’t know.” Nella stopped to reflect. Then she raised the revolver. It was a mechanical, unintentional sort of action, and certainly she had no intention of using the weapon, but, strange to say, Miss Spencer again cowered before it. Even at that moment Nella wondered that a woman like Miss Spencer could be so simple as to think the revolver would actually be used. Having absolutely no physical cowardice herself, Nella had the greatest difficulty in imagining that other people could be at the mercy of a bodily fear. Still, she >saw her advantage and used it relentlessly and with ; hs much theatrical gesture as she could coup mand. ■- She raised the revolver till it was level with Miss Spencer’s face, and suddenly a queer feeling took hold of her. She knew that she would indeed use that revolver now. If the miserable woman before her drove her too far. She felt afraid—afraid of herself; she was In the grasp of a strange, primeval instinct. In a flash she saw Miss Spencer dead at her feet,* the police, a court of justice, the scaffold. It was horrible. she said hoarsely, and Miss Spencer’s face went whiter. “Tom did say,” the woman whispered rapidly, awesomely, “that if Prince Eugen got to London it would upset his scheme.” “What scheme? Answer me.”

“Heaven held me, I don’t know.” Miss Spencer sank Into a chair. “He said Mr. Dimmock had turned tail, and he should have to settle him, and then Rocco”— “Rocco? What about Rocco ” Nella could scarcely hear herself. Her grip of the revolver tightened. Miss Spencer’s eyes opened wider; she gazed at Nella with a glassy stare. “Don’t ask me. It’s death.” Her eyes were fixed as if in horror. “It is,” said Nella, and the sound of her voice seemed to issue from the lips of some third person. “It’s death,” repeated Miss Spencer, and gradually her head and shoulders sank back, and hung loosely over the chair. Nella was conscious of a sudden revulsion. The woman had surely fainted. Dropping the revolver, she ran around the table; she was herself again, feminine, sympathetic, the old Nella. She felt immensely relieved that this had happened. But at the same instant Miss Spen-cer-eprang up from the chair like a cat, seized the revolver, and with a wild • movement of the arm flung if against the window. It crashed through the glass, exploding as it went, and there was a tense silence.

“I" told you that you were a fool," remarked Miss Spencer slowly, “coming here like a sort of female Jack Sheppard and trying to get the best of me. We are on equal terms now. Yon frightened he, but I knew h was a cleverer woman than you, and that in the end, if I kept on long enough, I should win. Now It will be my turn.” Dumfounded and overcome with a miserable sense of the truth of Miss Spencer’s words, Nella stood still. The idea of her colossal foolishness swept through her like a flood. She felt almost ashamed. But even at this juncture she had no fear. She faced the woman bravely, her mind leaping about in search of some plan. - She could think of nothing but a bribe—an enormous bribe. “I’ll admit you’ve won,” she said, “But I’ve not finished yet. Just listen.”

Miss Spencer folded her arms, and glanced at the door, smiling bitterly. _ “You know my father is a millionaire; perhaps you know that he’s one of the richest men in the world, if not the richest of all. If I give you my word of honor not to reveal anything you’ve told me, what will you take to let me go free.” “What sum do you suggest?”, asked Miss Spencer carelessly. She had begun to regard the affair as a business operation. Spencer’s lip curled. “A hundred thousand.” /Again Miss Spencer’s lip curled. “Well, say a million. I can rely on my father, and so may you.” “You think you are worth a million to - ■- " “I do,” said Nella. “And you think we could trust you to see that it was paid?” —-!!Of course you could.” “And we should not suffer afterward in any way?” “I would give you my word, and my father’s word.” “Bah!” exclaimed Miss Spencer. h “How do you know I wouldn’t let you go free for nothing. You are only a rash silly girl.” “I know you wouldn’t I can read, your face too well.” “You are right” Miss Spencer replied slowly, “I wouldn’t I wouldn’t let you go for all the dollars in America.”

FIRM FOUNDATION

Nothing Can Undermine It in S6BBB6lft€r« People are sometimes slow to recognize true merit, and they cannot'be blamed, for so many have been humbugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Rensselaer residents, expressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan’s Kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. , Charles Malchow, Harvey St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I wan never free from pain. The small of my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store* I began their use. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were disposed of. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get prompt and lasting relief. This remedy lives up to al lthe claims made foT it.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other. ,^

Nella felt cold down the spine, and sat down again in her chair. A draft of air from the broken window blew on her cheek. Steps sounded in the passage; the door opened; but Nella did not turn round; she could not move her eyes from' Miss Spencer’s. There was a noise of running water in her ears. She lost consciousness and slipped limply to the ground. f (To be continued
