AUBREY TYSON (Copyright, 1922, by the Macm!llan Company.) (Continued From Yesterday's Star.) CHAPTER Tt A Boilt from the Blue Rennison's surmise proved to correct. Two men entered and soon had the trunks in the hall. When the door of the sulte was closed behind the expressmen Rennison returned to the table at which he had left his friend. As he sat down he glanced at his watch. “I must be leaving In half an hour, he sald, carelessly. “My car Is waiting at the door” | nuggested his visitor. “Iil get you to the Union station in ten minutes. Rennison nodded shortly, und, with his thumb, abstractedly stroked the crystal of his watch. Then, leaning forward, with his elbows resting on his knees, he addressed his companion. “Well, let's get back to where we were | when we were interrupted.”” he sald. 1“You have told me that vou have re- elved a certaln impression concerning the nature of my services in the interest | of the government. Do you comeé by { that impression as a result of infor- mation, personal observation or mepe speculation?’ He frowned tdler hesitated. then added, | “Come, out with it, S " must Rave no verbal fencing now. i The eyes into which Storrow was !looking were hard and cold, “A combination. of all, T think, | Re: Storrow answered uneasily. | { “What was the source of your in- lized nation ed by powerful and ruthless foes who evade _identification —foes who are part of their own people—all domi- nated by this marauder., Seafalcon.

You have an unfortunate faculty for plck- ing up viluable Information, and, without suspecting its grave impor- tance, tattling it—to persons it should not reach. Quite innocently, you did this sort of thing several times dur- ing the war. It is essential now that you should not repeat such indlsor tons.

It was in vain that the visitor attempted to evade it Well—why—way, Yes, Ren/ he faltered. “In view of all I have heard, I am compelied to belleve that, secrotly, you, more than any other ean in the United States are to b feared by enemies of the federal gov srnment, whether they bo native Americans or aliens.” A several moments Rennison. looking at the tip of his clgar, was silent, then, meeting Storrow’s gaze . he said: Y %ood. Storrow. Inasmuch as you have confessed such a belfef, T 11 put it to the test by giving to vou certain directions, with the warn- ing that failure to follow them im- plicitly is likely to invelve you in se ous trouble.” HS(orrow. though manifestly dis- turbed, smiled skeptically as Rennison went on:’ “The directions are these: The train which will take me from Wash- ington at 6:30 this afternoon will leave at the same hour tomorrow. It is imperative that you take it. Your continued presence in Washington is undesirable, and you must leave the clty—quickl: 8ver the face of Storrow came an gxpression of dazed wonder and siow- 1y _growing resentmen “In heaven’'s name, Ren——" he fal- tered. “When you reach New York you will take the first train you can catch for Montreal” “Rennison continued. “From Montreal you may go to any purt of western Canada you please. It is nearing the end of May, and the Washington season is about over. For this reason you will be making no sacrifice in leaving the capital. The climate of Canada in the summer months is delightful. The scenery is superb. The hunting, fishing and boating cannot beé surpassed in any otker section of our continent. But you must keep out of the United States—at least until the beginning of the next year. Indeed, Storrow, I truly envy you the prospect which I am indicating to you. You will have my best wishes—while you are in Canada.’ Storrow's features were flushed with anger as he rose. . “What the /devil do you mean by such a proceeding as this, Rennisen?" he anded. “You speak as if I were some criminal.” “In some respects you are more to be feared than some criminals,” Ren- nison retorted. “You are a blunderer. As long as dangerous knowledge 1s kept from you, you are harmless enough. But you are gossipy and rather too fond of beautiful women. - My friendship for you has been sin- . cere—and will be, so long as you are hapmless. , But,our government now is confronting one of the most des- E;un“ situations it over has faced. ring the recent world war we knew who our enemies Were and we ‘were able to concentrate our variews elements .0f power for , eotive . re- slstanos.
