CHAPTER XVI—Conrtinufd.
Reassured, Inspector McGee str^ed
on her. "Usually that emilft directed
■ on Rosalie Le Orange, brought a re-
sponsive flash of coquettish dimples
and sparkling teeth. Put it seemed
like trying to Are dead ashes now. Her
face was Berlous and drawn. Sud-
denly It entered his mind that she
looked her age. Unacquainted with
that defiance of time by which a
charming woman may be fifty In one
minute and twenty in the next, he pon-
dered on this with all his heavy men-
tal processes. And suddenly it came
to Inspector McGee with a kind of
«hock that he regarded her all the
more tenderly therefore. It was a
pity that Buch as Rosalie Le Grange
should lose her young looks.
"Of course you're goTn' to leave It
to me! Now come on!" said Rosalie
Le Grange, breaking into his medita
tlons.
The two city detectives and the one
police matron were waiting silently In
Rosalie Le Grange's room. McGefc
locked the door behind him. Kcmalle
closed the transom.
"Is tills Place safe for talk, now?
"Perfect/' said Rosalie. "I've tried
It. Birt'talK low, to be sure."
The inspector opened the bag
"There's your felt shoes," he said
-Now listen, bpys—and you. Mrs
Leary This here lady is running this

the sinister web which she had made
of this, her dwelling-place, eo strangely
acquired, so strangely used.
In that web struggled a half-fclind,
half-distracted fly, toward which she,
the spider, was now creeping. Some
such comparison may have struck Hoe-
aile, for she shuddered twice In her
slow progress. And these were not
the assumed shudders which an-
nounced her false "control."
Rosalie kuocked at Miss Estrilla's
door.
"Come in!" cried the Invalid, mote
eagerly than her wont. And bb Rosa-
lie entered, "Oh, 1 was expecting you!
Can you—will you—today?"
"I've been puttin' all the power 1
have Into this thing," said Rosalie I.e
Grange; "you've no Idea how I've
tried. I was awake half the night, jus!
gettln' into touch. Thl6 Is my laBt alt-
tin' with you for ever 60 long. Miss
Estrilla. I can feel It goin'. Wlifeh
I'm playln' for all my power, as I've
got to now, conditions must be right

darkened this room complete? An
let's have a little more air."
There waB a window, which opened
upon the fire escape, at the foot ot
Miss Estrilla's bed. ThiB window Ro-
salie, darkened last of all; but first she
raised' tli? wish a foot.
ThW curtain will blow"*n' disturb
me," she said. "I'm goin' to ^pln It

Had Miss Estrilla's ..bquI held any
motions, in that moment,, but grief
and eagerness—had'she been capable
just then of'suspicion—she might have
noted a tin.ji.bui significant spund. The
(ire escape had creaked a little, as
thougJi a-welgbt had been imposad at
the bottom., jt creaked again at inter
vals tor j.he next five minutes, but $ft

"Now I'm ready to try," said Rosa-
lie, settling down at the foot of the.
couch. "Dear, you do look anxious!
Don't try to crowd the spirits—that's
always the best way—but remember
again—this is about tho last control
that's in me for a month. He quiet,
dearie." Her eyes Bought the dis-
tances, her body shook. Then came
the change which Miss Estrilla had
watched 60 often, and with such a fas-
tiuated eagerness. Rosalie's body re-
laxed and fell backward in the Morris
chair. Her lids gradually closed. She
breathed as though asleep.

"Ain't you going to stay?" inquired
McGee.
"No. She'll be too busy hntln' me

him about our troubles and my wish to

fore my brother returned to prevent

ottered to help. He said that he must

England he could sell them to much
better advautage than In Port of Spain.

hud learned enough about Cuptatn
Hanska to know where we might look

Moore's boarding house. It seemed
certain that Captain Hanska had not
sold the jewels yet, else he would not
be living eo cheaply. The llrBt thing
was to find where they were. Finally
Juan and I formed a plan and acted
upon It.

For that made the Jewels his property
In law, hd surely as though ho bad
bought them from me.
"The steamer on which he planned
to sail for Kngland he told me—was
duo to leave fort of Spain on Wednes-
day morning. On Monday night he
visited me and took away tho Jewels.
Ho said that he wanted to register
tliem In advance with the purser. He
promised to come again on 'I uesday

the nejet morning that he had left on

Juan came hack; but 1 wTttte a letter
to Captain lianska In enre of the

"That arrived Just aft-'r Juan came

tho mntter with my eyes. They had
