C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 6. 1928, He glanced curlously at the satchel and at the mark upon her wrist and gently guided her across the pave ment. The man who lad secmed about to enter the bank hesitated and returned to his taxicab. With a breath o relief she crossed the threshold of the building and made her way to the counter upon which she lay her satchel. A young man with flaxen hair and pince nez, who had been en- gaged in the task of counting a pile of treasury notes, looked at her In surprise. “Will you unfasten this, please, and lock it up at once in your vaults?" she begged. 1o unfastencd the strap and started as he saw the condition of her wri “Some one tried to snatch it away from me just now.” she explained, * 1 have £500 here to open an account with you and a card from Col.

The man- ger, who had been walking round, strolled up, gl t the single line written on De: and passed the bundle of notes which Miss Brown had produced to the clerk. He looked 2t Miss Brown curiously “We shall be delighted to open an account with you,” he assured her. “Do you wish to put this 00 to A current or a deposit account” “A eurrent account, if you please,” Miss Brown decided. ut first of all will you Jock up that satchel and give me & receipt for it. The young man, at a word from the manager, took it a and _digap- peared through a trap door behind the last of three counters. Miss Brown gave a sigh of relief and sat down.

All the time she was wondering how much she had better know. “I heard something about it,” sho admitted. “I hope it isn't serious.” “I wasn't sure whether you had heard,” he answered gravely. “Col. Dessiter died early this morning. Miss Brown made her way out into a street of gloom with a curious and altogether new pain at her heart. That gleam of unusual sunshine which had greeted her waking moments had long since passed away, threatening clouds were hanging low down and a slight, drizzling rain was falling. It was al- ready so dark that one or two of th electric lampa were lit. After a mo- ment's hesitation she decided to walk back to her rooms. There was some work on hand to be dealt with. She remembered Dessiter’s injunction to continue as far as possible her or dinary life until the message came She walked along wrapped in her thoughts, quite heedless of the fact that the rain was falling upon her fur coat. Once or twice she fancied that she was being followed. but the fact scarcely disturbed her now. She had sueceeded in the first part of her trust, and for herself personally she had no fear. Her sedate prog:rss was, as a matter of fact, a very sid one. There was a lump in her throat. the unshed ars were dimming the light of her eyes. It scemed such a terrible anti- climax to the new wonder of her life to think that those lips from which had:flowed that amazing story had spolen their last word, that the man who' had escaped death a hundred times in a hundred dangerous places should have come to his end in his {own room in the center of the most police-sheltered city in the world, A little sob finally did escape her, which, however, she promptly checked. She called at the newepaper shop, gave an order for the Times to he sent to ho every morning, made her way back o her room and Incked the door. Miss Prown was a conscientious young woman, and, notwithstandin the dislocation of her life by her adventure, she remembered after an 1our's geclusion, the fact that 4 had clients who were expecting “wer visit, ind also that it was her duty to re €pect the earnest injunction of the man around whom all her =ad thoughts were now centered, and car- Ty on as usual.

She ¢ of the day thoughtfully. She was by NO MEans a nervous person or over- imaginative, but she had nevertheless been haunted even during her recent pllgrimages by a feeling that she never alone, that she was always b ing followed, always being walched On the bus going to Hampstead, a young man had picked up a glove with which she had no concern, tried to press it upon her, and afterward to enter into conversation. She had scen the xame young man upon her 'n journey, but had avoided him by tak- Ing a bus for a ehort distance in another direction. It was quite pos sible, of course, that his interest in simply th t of the ¥ boulevardier, for Miss Brown, thstanding her reserved manner arance and the fact that she ne invited nor respond ed to g nees, was still not at all unaccustomed to finding herself an object of some interest to questing sentimentalists of the other sex. The young man, however, had been per- sistent, and he had been not the only one interested in her movements. In the city, she was conscious of brush- ing against a girl whom she had sgeen at least twice before during the . and whosg friendly smi was evidently Intended to be an inv tation to some sort of casual remar She had neither incident to trouble her.

It was all generalization, of course. but Miss Brown wished very much that she had some one to explain the whole| thing to her She turned to the personal eolumn, knowing full well, however, that it was too 800n fo expect her message. Afterward, still searching for any mention of the tragedy of Lombertson square, she came upon an item which she read curiously from beginning to | end. It was heade Man Found Shot in Lombertson | Square.

Miss Brown shivered a little, but passed on in her eager yet appreh sive search. She found at last what she had been looking for.
