CHAPTER XIX.
By Wireless.
They paused in the office, the three
of them, and while Miss Thorne was
giving some Instructions as to her
baggage the prince went over to the
telegraph booth and began to write a
message on a blank. Mr. Grimm ap-
peared at his elbow.
“No,” he said
“Can't | send a telegram If 1 like?
demanded the prince sharply
nor a note, nor a letter,
may you speak to any one,”
Grimm informed him quietly
“Why, it's an outrage!” flamed the
prince,
*It depends altogether on the view-
point, your Highness,” said Mr.
Grimm courteously. “If you will
don me I suggest that it
needless attract attention by
present attitude. You may-—I say
may to humiliate you.
The prince glared at n angrily. “1
mean handcuff you,” Grimm added
gratuitously
“Handcuff me?”
“I shouldn't hesitate, your Highness,
if it was necessary.”
After a moment Miss Thorne signi-
fled her readiness, and they started
out. At the door Mr. Grimm stopped
and turned back to the @esk as if
struck by some sudden thought, leav-
ing them together,
“Oh, Miss Thorne left a message for
some one,” Mr. Grimm was saying to
tho clerk “She's decided it is un
necessary.” He turned and glanced
toward her, and the clerk's eyes fol
lowed his. “Please give it to me.” ;
It was passed over without com-
ment. It was a sealed envelope ad- |
dressed to Mr. Charles Winthrop Ran-
kin. Mr. Grimm glanced at the su- |
perscription, tore the envelope into |
bits and dropped {t Into a basket A
minute later he was assisting Miss
Thorne and the prince into an auto
mobile that was waiting in front. As |
the car moved away two other auto
mobiles appeared from corners near |
by and trailed along bebind to the |
station. There a private compart. |
ment-car was in readiness for them.
It was a long, dreary ride—a ride
of utter silence save for the roar and |
clatter of the moving train. Mr. |
Grimm, vigilant, implacable, sat at |
ease; Miss Thorne, resigned to the |
inevilable, whatever it might be, |
studled the calm, quiet face from be-
neath drooping lids; and the prince, |
sullen, scowling, nervously wriggled in |
his seat. Philadelphia was passed, |
and Trenton, and then the dawn be- |
Ban to break through the night. It
was quite light when they rolled Into |
, Jersey City.
“I'm sorry for all the inconvenlence
I have caused,” Mr. Grimm apologized
to Miss Thorne as he assisted her to
alight. “You must be exhausted.”
“I it were only that!” she repiled,
with a slight smile. “And Is it too
early to ask where we are going
The prince turned quickly at the
question.
“We take the Lusitania for Liver
pool at ten o'clock,” sald Mr. Grimm
obligingly. “Meanwhile let's get some
coffee and & bite to eat”
"Are you going to make the trip
with us? asked the prince.
Mr. Grimm shrugged his shoulders.
Weary and spiritiess they went
aboard the boat, and a little while
later they steamed out Into the stream
and threaded their way down the bay.
Miss Thorne stood at the rall gazing
back upon the city they were leaving.
Mr. Grimm stood beside her: the
prince, still sullen, still scowling, sat

“There is nothing to forgive. One must

Miss Thorne turned flatly and faced

slowly. “If all things go well

her to half-speed with a curt message:

“CAMPBELL, Secret Service”
“What does that mean?’ asked the
prince, bewildered.
“It means that the compact will be
signed In Washington in spite of Mr.
Grimm,” and there was the glitter of
triumph in her eyes. "With the ald of
