I'm terribly sorry. “Do mot distress yourself in the least, my dear Miss Harvel” said Rehmy, with a gentle courtesy that became him very well. 1 had told him in the chalet of the scene with the Professor an hour or two previously; how he had suggested to Beatrice in her trance that she should lose all recollection of the pur- | port of the document. He realized that here was a notable proof of the | Professor’'s uncanny power. We were vecalled by Gaston, who announced that lunch was ready. “An omelette and some passable red wine. Iam sure you must be hungry, mademoiselle,” he said. Rehmy glanced at his watch. “We have no time to lose,” he ob- jected. ““We really ought to be start- ing at once.” Here however, he was overruled by Gaston, who, with the wisdom of his genial type, insisted that, without a meal, & man was only half his own master. I heartily agreed with him, for the strain of the past few hours had given me a ravenous appetite, and T fell on the food like a starving man. We discussed our immediate plans while eating and, on my suggestion, we decided that Beatrice should zo STAR, WASHINGTON, immediately to England and sta. her people until the whole affair was over. She could easily do this, as a letter to the authorities in the sec- | retariat stating that she was suffering ! from shock at the news of the murder of her chief would prove an excellent excuse. She demurred, but I would hear of no aiternative. T felt that as long as she remained in Geneva she was bound to be exposed to unknown and perhaps immediate danger. We were still ignorant of the full re- sources of the gang, but we had al- ready had sufficlent experience of their activity and ingenuity to take no unnecessary risks. As a further precaution, 1 tele- phoned to Jerry Cunningham, asking him to come immediately in a taxi to the chalet. He would, T knew, keep an eye on Beatrice until she left that night for London, and would even ac- company her to Paris, If he thought it necessary. Until her departure for the train, she was to remain at the chalet, ordered Rehmy, since it would be dangerous for her to return to her pension. Jerry and the man servant, Jules, could look after her and she could telephone to one of her friends to pack her trunks. Once this arrangement was con- cluded, T felt a great load lifted from my mind. _Beatrice _would now be Quick, safe, sure nu thcm shoe b nr"i e = Zino-pads TR 1508 H STREET - Opposice Windsor Chzirs Desks STORE HOURS 8 A. to Cherbourg and Southampton. “The Magnificent Trio” OLYMPIC C World's Largest Ship Atlantic Transport Line (fortnightly) to Cherbourg and London (Direct to Pier).

As soon as we had finished our meal, Rehmy and Gaston left the sit- C., preparations for the journey and to give Jules his instructions. I was at last alone with Beatrice, and I found that the constraint which came between us at our last meeting had now entirely vanished, as far as T was concerned. She was standing on the hearth rug, her head in clear rellef against the { light pine wood walls of the room. “Beatrice,” T whispered, and, step- ping forward, held out my arms. “What is it, Tom?” she said. 1 could only repeat her and at this she stretched out her hand, and a moment Ilater she was in my arms.

But come back soon and safe.” “Till our next meeting,” I repiled, and, drawing her to me, I kissed her once again.
