lady behind the counter paid scant attention to me. "The telephone service doesn't get any better." T said pleasantly. “It’s taken me nearly ten minutes to get two numbers." She accepted my complaint with equanimity. Her attention was still on the street outside. "He did what no man in the world has ever dared to do before, sir," she replied. “He kissed me—upon the lips! I wonder that I did not kill him where he stood!" “Had you no other reason than that. Janet?” I persisted. "I wished to save you sir,” she answered. "To save me front what?' "From the law." "You think that I was in danger?” “I know that you were.” "Who or what do you think I am?” "A great criminal,” she answered. I was staggered, for it was plain to me now that I must have been at this girl’s mercy many a time. She went on slowly. “I have always believed,” she continued, “that you were leading a double life. The few visitors you have had have come at night, and secretly. Whenever you have arrived here, and Mr. Stanfield has recommended to play golf, there has been a tragedy or a great robbery reported in the newspapers on the following morning. I always felt that some day or other this would happen. Now that it has come, I am glad.’ ’ “You realize that you killed a man in cold blood?” I persisted, determined to try her to the limit. “I am glad that I have,” she replied. “For a domestic servant.” I said, “you have a wonderful sense of your obligations.” “You. need not scoff at me,” she complained. “I am a woman, a dangerous woman, but a clever one. I Was not brought up to be a servant. I am fit to be your companion. That is my hope.” “I have never trusted a woman in my life,” I told her. “You will trust me.” she declared in a low tone. "You will remember v hat I ha'-e done for >ou today. I am the woman '-.ho was made to complete your life You had better realize it and make use of me. You will rot regret it.” She came a little closer to me, anti though women have never been more than the toys of my idle moments, I felt the passion of her strike into my heart. My senses were aflame. I saw life differently. Her voice became softer and more sibilant. Her eyes were appealing, but inhuman. “You shall marry me.” she continued. ‘“I have a fancy about that, and I insist. Then think of the benefit. If disaster should come, I shall neCt-r be able to give evidence against you. But there will be no disaster. I know how clever you are. I. too. have brains. Say that this means something to you. I have given proof of my devotion. Repay me.” I took her into my arms. There was a strange fire in her kiss which warmed my blood, a fierce delight in her strange-colored eyes which amazed while it enthralled me. This modern Borgia seemed to have fastened herself onto my life. The figures of the men in the little wood grew more shadowy. “Where is the pistol?*T whispered, holding her away from me for a moment. “Where no one will ever find it.” she answered. “And the clothes?*’ “Burned. I run no risks wh'-n your safety is in question.” The searchers came back to the house half an hour or so later! T was busy rebinding the handle of my putter. Janet was in the kitchen preparing my dinner. Greyes accepted a whisky and soda. He looked tired and a little dejected. "Any luck?”I asked him, under my breath, as he prepared to take hie leave. He shook his head. “So far as circumstantial evidence is concerned," he admitted. "I am afraid we shall be in a bad way. A more brutal murder I never remember. A young man. too. with a wife and three or four children, simply out to do his duty. If—” He stopped short, swallowed a little sob in his throat, and turned away. "1 hope that you will give me an-

other game of golf some day, Mr. Stanfield," he said, as he prepared to take his leave. "With great pleasure," I assented. • • , Sir Norman Greyee' Decision Yesterday the inquest on poor Richard Ladbrooke. after having been twice adjourned, resulted in a verdict cf murder against some person or persons unknown. The verdict itself is a terrible reflection upon our present criminal methods. It pul!£ at the strings of my conscience with sickening intensity. Ladbrooke had found a clew which he confided to no one. He had traveled down to Woking in search of the missing man Pugsley—or Michael Sayers, as I believe him to, have been. He must have been murdered there either by Pugsley himself or some confederate; yet not one of us has been able to lay our hands upon a single shred of evidence. 1 have been unable to tear myself away from the place. I have had several games of golf with Mr. Stanfield, and I have dined with him once at his house—a very excellent dinner and wonderfully cooked. He is desirous of offering a small reward for the apprehension of the murderer, but at present I have not encouraged him. Ido not want a crowd of people stirring up the waters. I have not said as much as any one —not even to him; but I am making it the object of my life to lay my hands upon the so-called Thomas Pugsley. The day I find him. the mystery of Ladbrooke’s murder will be solved. And I shall find him! "The Kiss of Judas.” second story of this remarkable series, will begin in our next issue.

SECOND AIRPLANE ATTEMPTS RELIEF OF STARVING PARTY First Machine Wrecked —10 Marooned Persons Believed Near Death. By I nilrti rrras JACKSON, Mich., April 20—The airplane carrying food from Chicago to ten persons marooned on Fox Island in Lake Michigan, left Man i Chester. Mich., near here, at dawn today on the last leg of its journey. The plane landed in a field near Manchester after making the first 200 miles of the trip from Chicago last night. Pilot John Miller plans to drop 200 pounds of food on the island. The plane is owned by Frank J. Parker, a wealthy Chicago broker and was sent on request of Thomas E. Wilson, packer, who supplied the provisions. The first attempt failed last night when Lieut. E. C. Whitehead and a ! companion aviator narrowly escaped . death when their airplane crashed I through ice of Grand Travers Bay at Northport, Mich., where a landing was , attempted. It is believed members of the marooned party are near death because word brought here Wednesday night ■ by three men who braved treacherous Ice floes to reach the mainland reported that food supplies were nearly ; exhausted. Edward Horn, one of three men who | fought their way to Northport, was i slowly recovering from the effects of the sixty-hour battle with the ice and storms in Lake Michigan. Carl Cooper and Ellis Sayres, who accompanied Horn on the perilous trip, returned to their home in Traverse City. Horn declared when he left the island there were only about ten frozen potatoes and that these would be consumed in one day. This means that the nine men and one woman have been without food for more than sev-enty-two hours.
