' The intelligence that Paige had | brought back to Jessie, already ro-» morseful and anxious over her aban-' donment of Van Vechten to Callis, had | driven the girl distracted. t When Paige's purse was missed aft- er the flight from Number 1313, Jos- | sle had velunteered to return and re- | cover it, if possible, as being the on least likely to attract attention or w be interfered with. Callis,’' who had %een annoying her with his attentions, and whose headstrong, ruthless na- ture had all along been a souree of anxiety and alarm to Willard, had fol- lowed her. The death of Jim O’Nefil, and Tom | Phinney’s subsequent accidental in- trusion at Rocky Cove—whence the conspirators had fled—had finally- thrown them 2ll into a panic. Paige had been the only one to keep her head, and she, after recognizing Tom, had resolved the difficulty in the most practical manner. | It was Jessie whom Van Vechten and Tom had seen arrive at the Silent House, Sunday, in a taxi-cab. The death of O'Neill was the first of a sequence of accidents that plunged Max Willard into hot water almost ot the moment when he saw success | for his undertaking.
