The information I want worth more to me, at the moment, than anything in the world. It is with me almost a matter of life and death. And I have no time to lose. Certainly, to save my own life, T shall not spare you. I do not mean to leave New York without taking the diamond with me. I speak plainly, you see. No mere bit of jewelry. whatever its value, can be worth aa much to you as your liberty—your life, I mean to force you to give me the information I want.

Then he released her and taking a cigar from his pocket, de- liberately lit it. Josephine watched him, with no realization of what he intended to do. She could scarcely believe, even now, that this well dressed gentleman would seriously harm her. But she was very goon undeceived. Snatching the cigar from his mouth and at the same moment again selz- ing her by the wrist the man in the mask quickly thrust the red and glow- ing end of the cigar against the tender skin of her arm near the shoulder. With a loud cry she tore herself ‘way and retreated toward the oppo- | site side of the hase Her asnallant, however, moved no \less rapidly.” Placing the cigar once moro between his teeth, he rushed upon tho girl, and before she realized his intention had flung her across the Then he whipped a handker- wi } bed. chief from his pocket, and, forcing 't into her mouth as she essayed to re- peat her ecream, effectually gagsed h er, She shivered with terror as once more he ground the lighted end of the cigar against her arm, but still her held out.
