CHAPTER XI-At breakfast the supposed book agent Introduces himself as Bprouse, a government secret agent.

CHAPTER XVllT—Barnes visits Green Fancy to secure the wardrobe of the countess. He meets Sprouse, who tells him Loeb got away with the jewels after killing the guard and accusing Sprouse of the murder and robbery.

CHAPTER XIX. A Trip by Night and a Late Arrival. Shortly after sundown that evening, the Rushcroft company evacuated Hart’s Tavern. They were delayed by the irritating and, to Mr. Rushcroft, unpardonable behavior of two officious gentlemen, lately arrived, •who insisted politely put. firmly on prying into the' past, present and future history of the several members of * the organization, including the new ‘‘backer.’! Barnes had devised a very clever plan for getting Miss Cameron away from the tavern without attracting undue attention. She was to leave in one of the automobiles that he had enEaged to convey the players to Crowndale, where they were to “show.” In case of detention or inquiry, she was to pose as a stagestruck young woman who had obtained a place with the company at the last moment through his influence. When the hour came for the departure from Hart’s Tavern he deliberately engaged the two secret service men In conversation in the taproom. Miss Cameron left the house by the rear door and was safely ensconced in Peter’s automobile long before he shook

hands with the “rat-catchers” and dashed out to join her. Tommy Gray’s car, occupied by the four players, was moving away from the door as he sprang In beside her and slammed the door. Peter’s efforts to stay behind Tommy’s venerable but surprisingly energetic car were the cause of many a gasp and shudder from the couple who sat behind him In the bounding car. He had orders to keep back of Tommy but never to lose sight of his tall light “Are you there?” he whispered. “Yes. Isn’t It jolly, running away like this? It must be wonderfully exciting to be a criminal, always dodging and —’’ # “Sh!

Soon after ten o’clock they entered the town of Crowndale and drew up before the unattractive portals of the Grand Palace hotel. An arc lamp swinging above the entrance shed a pitiless light upon the dreary, Godforsaken hostelry with the ironic name. Miss Cameron was warmly conscious of the thrill that had come into her blood when he carried her up the stairs in his powerful arms, disdaining the offer of assistance from "the suddenly Infatuated Tommy Gray. “Rehearsal at eleven sharp,” announced Rushoroft. “Letterperfect, every one of you. No guessing. By the way, Miss—er—’pon my soul, I don’t believe I got your name?” “Jones,” said the new member, shamelessly. Barnes went down to the dingy lobby.
