Slatern nudged hi* companion, with a chuckle, and then, reaching down quickly, picked up a small lace handkerchief from the walk, which had dro piped from her bag. With the handkerchief waa a bualneee card, on the back of which waa a hastily scribbled line of writ ing. Slatern held lt to the light, and read: "It la Inoperative for me to have your report of Sutro's place at once. Please rush It!" On the reverse aide of the oard waa the engraved name, "Casper Careon." eiatern'e eyas gleamed with sudden satisfaction. He did not know that the whole incident of Mona'a quarrel had been carefully staged In advance, and that the card had been dropped purpoiely at his feet. Unaware of theee faicta, the political boaa thrust the card into his pocket, and with a malicious glance back at Careon. who was still standing uncertainly before the door of the cafe, awaiggered aicroas the walk to his own car. Late the next afternoon Mcna emerged from a taxi-cab before Madame Sutro'a establishment, ascend ed the stepa, and was ushered by the liveried colored attendant at the door Into a handsomely appointed waiting room. In a moment or two Madame Sutro appeared. "You wish to see meT" Mona nodded. "I wish to see yon very imich—privately." Madame Sutro raised her eyebrows. "I am very busy." "I fancy that my errand !e well worth your time and attention." re joined Mona. coldly. "However—" She started to walk Indifferently toward the door, but tihe other caught her arm. ISteip tihta way, please!" she con ceded, grudgdngly. Mona followed her conduct re « through the portieres, and down a narrow corridor, giving into a aeries of thinly-partitioned booths, in which she oaught glimpses of women customers In various stages of "beau tifying-" At the end of the corridor, the MaSame opened a door, and con ducted her Visitor Into a amall roo TO, which evidently served the purpose of a private office. 'And now what la It?" she de manded. "My name Is Jenlrtns—May Jenkins," began Mona, boldly. "For several months I have been in the employ of Casper Carson. Do you know him 7" "Perhaips," was Hie enigmatic re sponse "And what of It?" "I 'have been assisting Mm to gathet evidence against certain establish ments like 5 ours!" said Mona, direct ly. "You may know, perhaps, that he believes you're running a /gambling house." Mladame Sutro's face flushed. "Go on!" she snapped. "Carson has double-crossed me," ea'l Mona, in as vtolous a tone as she coulrt muater. "He gives nothing but promises—and I have broken with him. and told him he would be aorry to let me got I Intend to make him aorry! That la why I have come to you—to tell you certain matters wfelch may be of Interest to you!" ~T don't know what you mean," Madame Sutro scanned the girl's face sVrewdly, and her manner perceptibly etiffened. "I mean thait you are to he raided at almost any "hour!" Mona stepped closer to the otlher, and «poke the last words almost Into her ears.

"Walt here, please," dhe said, with a trtfle more cordiality in her voice. Mona dropmed Into a chair, affeatlng not to be Interested In the conversa tion over the wire. She could hear a man's voice through the receiver, and then the Madame, lowering her voice, Epoke rapidly and nervously, and evi dently to such purpose that a moment later she hung- back the received with a sigh of relief. "A friend of mine Is coming over, who would like to hear your story, my young- friend. If you can convince him of its truth, perhaps you have not done eo badly after all!" "I don't care for that part of It," paid Mona. carelessly, guessing at once that the 'friend' in question was Dan Platsrn. "All that I am Interested In Is getting back at Carson. T told him I would make him sorry, and I want to make my promise good!" "Just so! Just bo!" nodded fhe Madame, albsently. She stepped to the door. "If you don't mind waiting for Just a moment. I have an urgent cus tomer waitlrvg outside " "Not at all." said Mona, pleasantly. She heard the key turn on the other side of the door, and smiled to her self. Evidently the 'Madame waa not dispose*! to take any chances! The girl strolled to the one window of the room, and parted the curtains. It opened on a rear alley, Just across from which loomed the outlines of a rear house, fronting on the next block The alley, Itself, was deserted, fhe dropped the curtains, and turned h*ck to a survey of the room. If the plans of Casper Carson had gone through without.a hitch, his men even now were assembling for the raid on the Beauty Parlors, which had been parreed upon at dusk.

Indeed, any should ke made. He knew that Slatsrn was well aware of the reform crusade, of w<hfch. he. Carson, was the prime mover—and that the young millionaire had been sworn in as a special deputy by the dis trict attorney's office, which waa en gaged In one of Its periodical flg-hta with the police deipartment. That such a raid rtiould toe ordered without warning from the district attorney's office was more than provable—and Oarson knew It would not be a diffi cult tsak to convince Slatern of iitm .jenulnenees. WTille Mona waa busy with these thoughts, the key turned In the door "wn, and the Madame reappeared, with a man whom the girl at once recognized a* Dan Slatern.
