Hastings was in the car? Or was it Blair or Johnson?” Mr. Grimm did not say. “Didn't you anticipate any person- al danger when you entered?” he queried Instead. I might shoot?” “No.” There was a long silence. Grimm still sat with his elbows on his knees, staring at the vague spotch which was Miss Thorne's face and bare neck. One of her white arms of the couch. “It seems, Miss Thorne,” at length casually, “that our paths of duty are inextricably tangled. Twice previously we have met cumstances that were strange, and now-—this! Justice | may have done you past by my suspicions has [I hope, been forgiven; and in each instance we were able to work side by aide to ward a conclusion. I am wondering now if this singular affair will take a similar course.” He paused. Miss Thorne started to speak, but slight gesture of his hand. “It is only fair to you to say that we—that is, the Secret Service-—have learned many things about you,” he resumed in the same casual tone. “We have, through our foreign more than Whatever in- in to Washington. We know that you are, In a way, a representative of a sovereign of Europe; we know that eign, and remained went to Paris, slon—perhaps the same-—and mained there for three weeks; we know that you met diplomatic agents those governments later in London We know all this; we know the man- ner of your coming to this country; of your coming to Washington. we don't know why you are here.” Again she started to speak, and again he stopped her. “We don't know your name, but that is of no consequence. We do know that In Spain you were Senora Cas savant in Paris Mademoiselle d4’Aubl- non, in London Miss Jane Kellogg, and here Miss Isabel Thorne. We re alize that exigencies arise in your call ing. and mine, which make changes of name desirable. necessary even, and there 1s no criticism of that Now as the representative of your govern ment-—rather a government-you have a right to be here, although unaccred- ited; you have a right to remain here as long s&s your acts are consistent with our laws; you have a right to your secrets as long as they do not, directly or jpdirectly, threaten the welfare of fhis country. Now, why are you here?” He received no answer; he expected none. After a moment he went on: “Admitting that you are a secret agent of Italy, admitting everything that you claim to be, you haven't con- vinced me that you are not the person who came here for the letters and cigarettes. You have sald nothing to prove to my satisfaction that you are not the individual I was waiting for to night.” “You don’t mean that you sus pect—1?" she began In a tone of amaze ment. “l don’t mean that I suspect any- thing,” he interposed. “I mean merely that you havens convinced me. There's nhtalcg inconsistent in the fact that you are what you say you are, and that in spite of that, you came tonight for—" He was interrupted by a laugh, a throaty, silvery note that he remem- bered well.

How do you account for the fact that he went, “Precisely as you must account for it if you have studied the situation here as I have,” responded Mr. Grimm. “For instance, sitting at his desk overlooking the street A narrow strip of house and the sidew There is only lawn between the Of ep" “Or In a carriage.” plemented, tion “had attracted his atten some one he knew-—it is not at parent reason, as he did do, passed along the hall" “And through the French window, across the lawn to the carriage, and not a person in the house would have seen him go out? Precisely! seems no doubt that was the way,” she mused. “And, of course, he must have entered the carriage of his own free will?” “In other words, on some pretext or other, he was lured in, then made prisoner, and!" He paused suddenly and his hand met Miss Thorne's warningly. The silence of the night was broken by the viglent clatter of footsteps, apparently approaching the embassy. The noise was unmistakable—some one was run- ning. “The window!” Miss Thorne whis pered. She rose quickly and started to cross the room to look out; Mr. Grimm sat motionless, listening. An instant later and there came a tremendous crash of glass—the French window in the hallway by the sound--then rapid footsteps, still running along the hall Mr. Grimm moved toward the door unruffled, perfectly self-possessed; there was only a narrowing of his eyes at the abruptness and clatter of ft all. And then the electric lights in the hall flashed up. Before Mr. Grimm stood a man, framed by the doorway, staring unsee. ingly into the darkened room. His face was haggard and white as death; his mouth agape as If from exertion, | and the lips bloodless; his eyes were widely distended as if from fright clothing disarranged, collar anfastened and danghng. “The ambassador!” whispered thrilling! y.

Mr. Grimm was going toward the enframed figure when, without any apparent reason, the ambassador turned and ran along the hall; went out again. Grimm stood still, Miss Thorne voice For one dazed and blinded started toward the door. was beside him. “The lights!" he whispered tensely. “Find the switch!” He heard the rustle of her skirts as she moved away, and stepped out into the hall, feeling with both his hands along the wall. A few feet away, in the direction the ambassador struggle in progress—there was the scuffling of feet, and quickdrawn breaths as muscle strained against muscle. The lights! If he could only find the switch! Then, as his hands moved along the wall, they came In contact with another hand—a hand pressed firmly against the plastering, barring his progress. A light blow in the face caused him to step back | quickly. | The scuffing sound suddenly re solved Itself Into moving footsteps, and the front door opened and closed with a bang. Mr. Grimm's listless eyes snapped, and his white teeth came together sharply as he started toward the front door But fate seemed to be against him still.
