“The Million Dollar Mystery”
SYNOPSIS OF CHAPTERS ONE
AND TWO.
Stanley Hargreave, millionaire, af-
ter a miraculous escape from the
den of the gang of brilliant thieves
known as the Black Hundred, lives
the life of a recluse for eighteen
years. Hargreave one night enters
a Broadway restaurant and there
come face to face with the gang’s
leader, Braine.
After the meeting, during which
neither man apparently recognizes
the other, Hargreave hurries to his
magnificent Riverdale home and
lays plans for making his escape
from the country. He writes a let-
ter to the girls’ school in New Jer-
sey where eighteen years before he
had mysteriously left on the door-
step his - baby daughter, Florence
Gray. He also pays a visit to the
hangar of a daredevil aviator.
Braine and members of his band
surround Hargreave’s home at night
but as they enter the house the
watchers outside see a balloon leave
the roof. The safe is found empty
—the million which Hargraeve was
known to have drawn that day gone.
Then some one announced the bal-
loon had been punctured and drop-

He may have dropped from the bal-

have been his fee for rescuing Har-
greave. Here is the greatest thing
we’ve ever been up against; and you

“Little woman, don’t let your
tongue run away with you too far.”
“I’m not the least bit afraid of
you, Leo. You need me, and it has
never been more apparent than at
this moment.”
“All right. I fell by the wayside

She limped down to her limou-

stepped upon her foot heavily.
,“She is lovely!” cried Florence.
“Well. I must be on my way,
also,” said Norton. “I am a world-
ly wise man, Miss Florence. As
Jones here. Never go any place
without letting him know; not even
to the corner drug store. I am go-
ing to find your father. Some one
was lescued. I’m going to find out
whether it was the aviator or Mr.
Hargreave.”
Jones drew a deep breath and his
eyes closed for a moment. At the
door he spoke to the reporter.
“What do you think of that wo-
man?”
“I believe that she has told the
truth. She is charming.”
“She is. But for all her charm
and truth I cannot help distrusting
her. I have an idea. I shall call
up your office at the end of each
day. If a day comes without a call,
you will know that something is
wrong.”
“A very good idea.” Norton
shook hands with every one and de-
parted.

CHAPTER III.
The Safe in the Lonely Warehouse.
The princess did not remain long
after the departure of the police
with the bogus detectives. It had
been a very difficult corner to wrig-
gle out of, all because Braine had
added to his plans after she had left
the apartment. But for the advent
of the meddling reporter the coup
would have succeeded, herself ap-
parently perfectly innocent of com-
plicity. That must be the keynote
of all her plans: to appear quite in-
nocent and leave no trail behind her.
She had gained the confidence of
Florence and her companion. And
she was rather certain that she had
impressed this lazy-eyed reporter
and the stolid butler. She had told
nothing but the truth regarding her
relationship. They would find that
out. She was Katrina Pushkin’s
cousin. But blood with her counted
as naught. She had room in her
heart but for two things, Braine and
money to spend on her caprices.

“How long has your highness
known Mr. Braine,” asked the re-
porter idly, as he smoothed away
all signs of his recent conflict.
“O, the better part of a year. Mr.
Hargreave did not recognize me the
other night. That was quite excus-
able, for when he last saw me I
was not more than 12. My child,”
she said to Florence, “build no
hopes regarding your mother. She
is doubtless dead. Upon some tri-
vial matter—I do not know what
it was—she was confined to the
fortress. That was seventeen years
ago. When you enter the fortress
at St. Petersburg, you ceise to be.”
“That is true enough.”
“I did not recall myself to youl
father. I did not care at that mo-
ment to shock him with the remem-
brance of the past. Is not Mr.
Braine a remarkable man?” All
this in her charming broken Eng-
lish.
“He is indeed,” affirmed Norton.
“He’s a superb linguist, knows eve-
rybody and has traveled every-
where. No matter what subject you
bring up he seems well informed.”
“Come often,” urged Florence.
“I shall, my child. And any time
you need me, call for me. After all,
I am nearly your aunt. You will
find life in the city far different
from that which you have been ac-
customed to.”

“What a brave, pleasant young
man!” murmured Susan.
“I like him, too; and I’d like him
for a friend,” said the guileless girl.
“It is very good to have a friend
like Mr. Norton,” added Jones, and
passed out into the kitchen. All
the help had been discharged and
upon his shoulders lay the burden
of the cooking till such time when
he could reinstate the cook.
