The Salvation Army's camp for mothers and children at Patuxent, will be enlarged this Summer if AeThrilling Novel of International Intrigue _(Continued from Yesterday's Star.) Karl, who was trying to stand up, pulled himself hLeavily to his feet and stood swaying dizzily, holding fast to the jamb of the door. He glared vaguely into the room till his eye lighted on me, when he suddenly recovered his powers of perception and speech. “Take care,” he gasped. damned imposter.” “That's & THE EVENING THE SEVEN SLEEPERS By FRANCIS BEEDING (Copyright, 1925, by Little, Brown & Co.) a British subject. It's a fact which you will do well to keep in mind. The British foreign office will cer- tainly not lose sight of it.” “The British foreign office is Whitehall, if I remember rightly, sald the professor, “and Whitehall is in London. We are now in the Rue Etlenne Dumont, and the Rue Etienne Dumont is in Geneva." “There are friends of mine in ieneva—" 1 began, but suddenly stop-| in would be without warning and with- out defense. My object must be to get away to my hotel—if possible—with not more than one member of the gang. Once in the open street, I had an infinitely better chance of escaping. I endeavoured to meet the professor in his own vein, smooth, reasonable and unflurried. “I don't think I have given you any good reason to doubt my word,” I protested amiably. “I have never attempted to decelve you. 1 tried to explain who I was the moment I arrived; but you didn't give mo a chance. It appears that I have been mistaken for this gentieman” (I indi- cated Karl, who was, 1 observed, recovering slightly the use of his wits). “No one regrets it more than I do.

What do you say, Fritz?" “Perhaps Karl has something to say about it,” suggested Fritz. “Can’t he throw some light on this confounded business’ Karl, who stood supporting him- self at the table, put a hand to his head. “I found the fellow waiting in the room outside,” he sald hu-klly “I don’t know anything about ft,” sald Karl. “Blsa brought him to the house,” sald Schreckermann. “She must made the same mistake as Adolf.’ “It's all the fault of this blunder- ing idiot,” sald Fritz wrathfully, in- dicating the unhappy Karl. “Why are you two days late?” he harshly demanded. “I couldn’t help it,” muttered Karl. “I'll explain as soon as I can, but my APRIL 4, “you don’t seem particularly anxious to recover that document. I've in- formed you that it is at my hotel, and 1 have offered to fetch it. I have even invited one of you to accompany me as a proof of my good faith.* “B-better send F-Fritz,” suggested Schreckermann. “Yes,” sald the professor, “we will send Fritz, and Mr. Thomas Preston shall remain with us until Fritz re- turns.” My face must have fallen ¥isibly, for the professor continued pleasantly. “I am sorry to disappoint you, but, if your story is correct, you will be released in another half-hour at the latest. I am afraid it will be neces- sary for us to borrow your keys for a moment. He picked them out from among the articles on the table, and, assum- ing the bored indifference of a man to whom the whole affair was simply an infernal nuisance, I pointed out 1925.

The professor smiled from the table. “I think this must be Karl,” he said, surveying the swaying figure with benevolent interest. “I seem to rec- ognize his psychology. However, we will soon clear up this little diffi- culty.” He pressed an electric bell standing on the table. It was answered by two sleek, dark- looking men, wearing the uniform of ntinental man servants. Search these men,” said the pro- fessor. At the same time Fritz leveled his pistal at my head in the manner of one who would use the weapon if necessary. Scheckermann, I noticed, performed the like office for my twin. “Hands up, both of you,” ordered Fritz. There was nothing for it, and I raised my hands helplessly In the air. The two servants rapidly ran their hands over us. Nothing is more igno- minfous than being pushed and prod- ded by another man, though I must admit that my searcher was not un- necessarily violent or offensive, and it was with the utmost diffi- culty that I could restrain myself from knocking the fellow down. 1| had no doubt whateverat that moment that if I had made the least move- ment to do so, Fritz would have emptied his pistol into me without any hesitation. The searchers coolly and method- fcally emptied gur pockets, and laid the contents on the red-covered table. The professor examined the articles as they appeared; and, when he plekea‘ up my British passport, I realized that the game was up. And so it proved. The professor looked up from my paseport. “An Englishman,” he said pleasant- Iy—to my surprise he addressed nic,| for this speech only, in my mother | tongue, with no trace of accent. “And T perceive that your handsome gold watch was purchased in Bond street pleasant thoroughfare. | “It's quite ‘true” I satd, | ped short.

Th parently were engaged In a of great Importance, but of nature of which I was unable to form any clear idea. This was a dangerous labyrinth, and it was out of the ques- tion to allow Beatrice to become in- volved. “Yes?” prompted the professor. “You were saying something triends in Geneva." “I'm only suggesting that if I do not_return to my hotel inquiries will be made."” “We will deal with the inquiries when they arise” said the professor. “There are rather more pressing mat- ters which demand our immediate at- tention.

If I confessed that Lavalle was even at that moment attompt- ing to decipher it, I was pretty sure that the whole gang would In a moment be at his heels, possibly with serious consequences not only for him but for Beatrice, who had acted as my messenger.
