Now you can pay! Ha! Ha® and she burst into a laugh =0 harsh and cruel that it made Anne’s blood run cold. “I never took your man from vou' Anne did not flinch this time. Straine had had the power to force her into writing an unworthy appeal to her father, Straine with his hypnotic in- fluence! But this person had no such uncanny control of her! “You stand there and say tha the woman flung back contemptu- ously, “oh well. it does not matter now!’ You have played vour last trick! 1 shall finish with you as soon as I have secured what I came for. Out -with it “What do you want of me”" Anne was surprised at her own nerve in the face of this cocked pistol, “Mr. Straine is here, I have not seen| him for several hours. Ask Pedro, he'll tell you where he has gone.” “Did vou tell him what he wished to know”" the woman questioned. “As far as I was able. I do not know where my father keeps this ray you want so much, but I wrote a letter to him, asking him to give it| to Mr. Straine—" Anne's cheeks flushed painfully, her shame almost overcoming her. “Oh, vou did! That is well! Still Your father may not be willing to comply. Do you think he will respond to vur gentle persuasion.” “I do not know,” Anne replied truthfully. “this is my first experience of the kind. Mr. Straine told me that | he would have to wait until m father’s boat comes in on Thursday “Th | place,” Sonia remarked sarcastically, seating herself across the shadowy room, her pistol carefully leveled at Anne, “but while we are waiting 1'd like to ask a few questions myself. | First about Mr. Dahlgren. He is a| detective in the government service? “No. he is a reporter for a new: paper.” [ “Then how did he happen to be| upon that ship “His paper sent him to gather ma- terial. The woman gave another horrid/ laugh. ! “You believe that, don’t you! You believe that Mr. Winston was a poor demented youth, his mother a hysteri- cal fool! You believe that Victor Straine is an English scientist, and that I am a German stewardess! A | girl like yourself is too voung and silly to be out of the nursery. How- ev that is of small importance now!" She paused, and Anne, not finding any answer to her scorn, remained silent, wondering what was coming next. This woman loved Straine and | had come to take revenge upon the | girl who had stolen him away. What a cruel twist of fate! How many many strands were woven into this tangled skein! “I presume you have the normal desire to liv the woman questioned presently, “that might still be pos- sible” if you help me with a liltlel affair of my own.” “What can 1 do for you?” Anne could pot keep the eagerness from her voice. “I'm sure you know that I Jove Mr. Dahigren, expect to marry i ever leave this place! M. Strdlne ows that too!" 1 observe that you are of a fickle nature,” the woman agreed, “‘one day this: man, one day another, off with the old and on with the new, as quickly as you change your clothes. 1 have heard that American women are without constancy, evidehtly you are an excellent example. Unfortu- nately one cannot trust you, my dear. It is sad, but true.” “Then what do you want of me “If you should, by any chance, be able to give me information about your father's discovery, the ray we desire to possess, and I should in re- turn be able to bring you to this young man and see you safely re- united—-"" “Yes——"" Anne's heart leaped high. “Could you guarantee my safe es- cape from this country, with the re- quired information, and Mr. Straines’ as well?” “But how could 1 do that? Sonia smiled. “Such an able girl as yourself, so fascinating to men, surely you could go to the proper person, the one most high in command, and offer—induce- ments—"" “How could I reach these authori- ties? I'm a prisoner.” “I could manage your escape,” the woman assured her, “and take you to the proper place. Wouldn't it be worth while?” “What inducement could T offer?” Anne stalled for time. Was this an- other trap? A ruse to take her out of Straine’s power, a revenge for her capture of his heart? Sonia fixed her eyes upon Anne. “Need a woman ever name the means she employes to achieve the de- sired end? Men are very susceptible to you, I observe. You are not un- aware of this very desirable quality in yoursel! “Is this man anywhere near? Must we take a journey? What will Mr. Straine think if 1 disobey him?>” “He will not know until your mis- slon is safely accomplished.” Anne hesitated, not knowing which way to turn. If she refused, the ve t is a long time to wait in this woman might shoot her where she | stool, ending everything. If she ac- cepted, she might run into a more des- perate position than her present one. ‘What should she do? “Madame,” Anne replied, her mind whirling, “would you be kind enough to allow me a few minutes for reflec- tion? It has occurred to me that I might be able, after time for clear thinking, to recall those materials with which my father has been working in the last months and, perhaps, by nam- ing them to you and Mr. Starine, en- able him to identify the ray desired.

Very Soon Pedro appeared. bringing a bottle | of wine and a pitcher of water. “Something to eat?” he asked. “Yes, please,” Anne said gratefully, “perhaps some fruit?” The man nodded, vanished, returned, brinzing a light lunch, and Anne, grovn braver through sheer despair, proceeded to eat. , “It may be my last meal on earth.” she thought tragically, “but at least | I've told nothing that Victor doesn’t know' “Well,” Sonia was bending over her again, perhaps ten minutes later. *I think 1 have it!” Anne tried to | make her voice enthusiastic, “but Mr. Straine? could Pedro find him and let him see thi= paper? And if it shouldn’t be the right thing perhaps he could suggest something that would reveal the secret!” “I'll send Pedro after him. but now you're coming with me! Put on your hat, vou'll need it. This way!" and pushing the girl in front of her she started down the passage. Anne felt -her last hope die within her breast. This was the end. “I wonder if I can die game?” was her one clear thought, *“poor dad. poor Chris and all, all my fault!”" The woman's hand was on the outer door, she had turned the knob, when suddenly it was violently wrenched open. a man’s figure stepped into the passage, and by means of the light coming from the outer room his iden- v was instantly established. It was Victor Straine, an exclamation of sur- prise bursting from his lips. he seized Sonia by the “you! the woman replied coldly, “what are you going to do now! “Go back into the room,” Straine fairly shoved the two women ahead of him, “I'll tell you what I'll do.” ““Then,” said Soma, backing away from him as they reentered Anne's prison cell, “you can take the time to read this. The girl has written some- thing down. Is this what you want?” Straine seized the paper. holding it beneath the dim lamp and reading it eagerly. “Anne!” he cried when he had com- pleted it, “you remembered!” ° Anne gasped, unable to believe her ears!—Victor was trying to save her, pretending that she had given valuable information! “It's what you want,” the woman persisted eagerly, “it will help to establish the ray’ “It will help tremendously! 1 think—" he hesitated a moment, *‘with a little time for consideration I can work this out—" “Then,” Sonia cried triumphantly. “I'm through with this girl,” and the different lines.| ance, and stole out again, closing | | exotie lookin her thin purse—having a biaby W oft? | pensive—and she reckoned that would have to do a bit more economiz- !y, e THE The Palm. ad heen an inspiration.

Air-Way has proved such a past two years that one of the | largest western cities is adver- tising through its chamber of commerce in a full-page ad of the Saturday Evening Post, un- | der date of October 8, 1927, that Air-Way is an example of this city's progre This sales record was made possible by individuals — the dealers in the field. Air-Way men have a $3,500,000 corpora- ion back of them, no competi- {tion worthy of the name and full co-operation in the branch. Many of our men RIGHT NOW are earning from $3.000 to $10000 a year in Washing- ton territory. They comprise men from the trades, specialty salesmen, an editor, professional men—in fact, men from all walks of life. If you are honest, sincere, neat and willing to work hard to earn real money and an assured suc- cess in life, do not fail to investi- ite the most real opportunity in the selling field at any time during the past decade. Come in and talk with our men. They will tell you about Air-Way and the money to be made in it. We want a few good men right now and will train them. No investment required but honest effort. 203 Insurance Bldg., 15th and Eye n.w. | SERS—Househol o commissions: District. Virsin f 0 12, ‘Mondav. Tuesday 316 Stewart Building. or Mary.
