Katherine looked at Lillian, who gave a silent sign of acquiescence, and my little friend extended the two en- viopes she had brought from her lodgings. I opened the one of the earfier date first. There was no newspaper story in it, but something far mor disquiet- ing, the announcement of an under- taking firm advertising cheap funerals, in the center of which was the pho- tographic reprodaction of a coffin. “You Must Be Brave.” With a little shudder T passed both it and the unopened envelope over to Lillian. “You open the other ome,” I said faintly. I haven't the courage.” She tore it open, and I saw by the | look she bent upon me that fears of her own had been confirmed. “Oh, what is it?” I gasped. “You must be brave, Madge,” Lil- lian said, and there was an undefin- able something in her voice that made | me realize it was not thus ehe was wont to take the blows of fate. “Re- member, this whole scries of letters is designed solely to frighten you. There is a possibility that there may be little foundation for them. But in any event you must nerve yourself to meet whatever is in store for you. I stretched out my hand for the let- ter in reply. I could not utter a word, my throat was to constricted for speech. But I ocmpelled my hand to steadiness, for I made myself remem- ber that I was Lillian’s trusted aid in her work. She could have no use for anything short of steady nerves and stout hearts. The thing that met my eyes, how- [ ever was enough to unnerve any daughter’s heart. A broad black bor- der like the frame of a picture, drawn with pen and ink, surrounded words, the letters of which had been cut from a newspaper and pasted on the sheet of cheap note paper. There were two lines of these words, the up- per in capital letters of large tvpe, read: “THE LATE ROBERT GORDON, ALIAS CHARLES SPENCER.” The lower, in smalier tvpe, and low- or case letters, was still more terrify- ing, for it hore the sinister legend: “Better Not to Guess How He Died.” And down in the lower right-hand corner of the sheet of paper, in smallest type of all, were these words Au Revoir for Two Weeks.” T sat gazing at the thing before me, my hands clutching the table for sup- port.

I knew that Allen Drake, who, Lillian said, wes a member of the secret service, although in a capacity unknown to her, was searching for him. That the two men were cross-purposes I suspected from the fact that Drake’s attitude abpeared to be hostile. Yet even now, secreted in the wrist watch upon my arm, was a note dubbed by my father's mes- sage one of the highest importance, to be delivered to Drake in case of a code cablegram from him.
