He hesitated and turned his head. He knew then that it was the end. The gendarme was returning with a fat little man who wore no coat and waistcoat. “This man keeps the cafe at the corner,” the former announced. “He knows his neighbor Guy well.” “Is this Monsicur Guy?” Demayel asked. The innkeeper was more than em- phatic; he was vehement. “Upon my soul, no!” he declared, “Monsieur Guy I know well. This gentleman is a stranger.” Demayel turned to the pseudo Mon- sieur Guy. % “Well 2" The man shrugged his shoulders. “I have done what 1 was paid for,” he said sullenly. . We. dined that night, Rimmington and I, in a remote corner of a great bustling restaurant. Demayel had himself telephoned and ordered the| table. The latter had promised to| join us for ceffee, but before we | reached that stage of our repast, we| were surprised to see him coming has- tily toward us, followed by a tall man of military bearing. “Messieurs,” he said as he sat for a moment at our table, “a grave thing has happened. The voung man who . = has acted as my secretary for five years has absconded. It is he, with- out a doubt, who warned the man| whom you call Michael. Worse than | that, his report to me that the Carl- yon would not reach dock until to- night was a lie. She arrived this| morning and landed her passengers| this afternoon.” I half rose to my feet, but De- mayel waved me back. “Listen,” he continued. “This | much we know at present: The| Englishwoman went first to the Hotel Splendide. At six o'clock. this even-| ing she was called for by the other| woman, and they drove off alone.| They were shadowed, fortunately, by Tund, the American detective who fol- | lowed Louisa Martin over, and who| reports that his life was attempted last night. This woman Martin, it seems, has an evil reputation. She has been in prison twice in her younger days in Paris, ‘and she was tried for murder seven years ago. Lund reports that there is ill blood between the two women. He is con- vinced that the Englishwoman, Janet Soale, as she called herself on the steamer, has been decoyed into some place to meet Michael.” “How far did he follow them?" T asked. ‘“‘Where is he now?” | “He followed them into the worst quarter of Xarseilles,” Demayel re- plied, “but as soon as he discovered thelr destination, he had the good sense to return for aid. They are in the one quarter of the city which 1 have not yet succeeded in clearing. But tonight the attempt shall be made.” “Let us start!” I exclaimed (‘ag(‘rly.l We moved toward the door. | “I deeply regret,” Demayel an-| nounced, “that this is an adventure | THE UNFAMILIAR | ~ .

Louisa exclaimed, “Tell ur why you came to Marseilles, and why Rimmington, the English detec- tive, has followed. Tell us who called your new lover, Norman Greyes, from Monte Carlo?" Again there was a peal of derisive laughter from Louisa Martin, followed HE RAISED HIS ARM SIMUL- TANEOUSLY WITH MINE. OUR PISTOLS SPOKE TOGETHER. by the soft ringing of an electric bell and a fierce oath from Michael. There was a moment's silence, the scurrying of feet, the flinging back of what sounded like a doot. Michael's voice, when he spoke, had changed. *“You have had vour chance, Janet,” he said. I shall leave you to Louisa.” A fortunate madness seized me. T flung my whole weight against the door, and we fell into the place in a heap. Janet, her feet and arms tied with cord, white and numb ‘with fear, was lying on the ground; Louisa Mar- tin, with the fgce of a Fury, and eyes filled with hate, leaned over her. Michael, with unrecognizable face but vnforgetable eyes, was already half- way through a trapdoor. He raised Lis arm simultaneously with mine, Our pistols spoke together, and the sound of their report was followed al- most immediately by the crashing of the trapdoor. 1 felt a sharp pain in my shoulder; and for a moment 1 think I went mad. 1 was cutting]| the cords which bound Janet's hands and feet, talking to her foolishiy, try- ing to keep back the faintness which threatened me. Then the mist came, and the room rocked. v o My first visitor in the hospital six weeks later, was Monsieur Demayel. “That man's escape, Sir Norman," he confessed, “was a most deplorable incident.” NEW BRITA “He descended through the trap- | door from the room in which you found him,” Monsieur Demayel ex- plained, “by means of a rope ladder, to a narrow inlet of the harbor, which at full fide is directly under- neath, He secured the trap-door be. tind him by means of a bolt, got into a petrol launch and apparently made his way across the bay, The launch was discovered next day upon the beach, and there is a theory that he “From whom did these flowers come?" 1 inquired, “Until you were out of danger,” she told me, “a very beautiful English lady called every day. A week ago she returned to England, but she left with the Sister an order on a florist for roses every day for a fortnight.” “She left no note or message?" “Nothing.” “When can 1 leave for England?" “In a fortnight, if you behave," she answered, “Perhaps never, if you work yourself into a fever.” “Nurse,” T asked, “have you ever been in love?" “It is not a fit question from a pa- tient to his nurse,” she replied, with a pleasant little gleam in her eyes. “I need sympathy,” 1 explained, “but if you will not talk to me, I shall go to sleep.” *“The more you sleep,” she declared, “the sooner you will be able to go to England."” “Michael's Wedding Gift"” ninth story of this remarkable series, will begin in our next issue, Peanut Butter Kibbe's peanut butter is smooth and rich—it spreads like butter.

Putnam is GOOD. e Putnam is as rich with Putnam flavor as cream is rich with butter-fats. Putnam was picked by the experts as the one de- liciously distinctive coffee. On top of the experts’ decision thousands of Home Folks proclaim Putnam, of all coffees, their ultimate choice. And now— that you have decided to get a half-dozen tins from iy;our grocer (Putnam eeps fresh indefinitely in its vac-sealed containers) let us resolve to make a good cup of coffee tomor- row morning. Individual taste dictates the proportions of coffee and water. When you have found your strength, .stick to it. Measure ac- curately. Use a little more water than cupfuls of cof- fei’required. To make thrée cups of coffee, use about 3}% cups of water. is due to certain aromatic oils. Fresh boiling water extracts this deliciousness Putnam’s delicious taste . TRAIN ON MAIN STREET Rainy Weather Prevents White Sox From Customary Workout Chicago, March 20, — The White Box took their session of spring train- ing‘to Main street yesterday, Frigid temperature and ankle deep mud at their park at Seguin, Texas, made & regular day's work impossible and Manager Gleason resorted to the oity street for 30 minutes of throwing ball about and loosening up exercises, The Chicago Cubs lost an extra in- ning game to the San Francisco Pacl- fle Coast lenguers yesterday when Ray Grimes forgot two were out and fall. ed to leave third base when the ball was knocked to the outfield, Most important gold deposits of Argentina are found In the territory of Los Andes and parts of the provinces of Jujuy, Salta and Cata- marea, ~how to have it | most efficiently, Do not soak the grounds in cold water. Don’t let the grounds and water boil together after the oils have been extracted. The flavor is extracted by the short -contact of boiling water and fresh coffee grounds, After the extrac- tion, coffee grounds areno better than egg shells after *the eggs have been used. Don’t cook away the flavor by overheating or overboiling. Serve Putnam as soon as made, or keep just hot and not boil- ing. e best way to keep ‘‘delayed’’ coffee is in a double boiler ove# a slow fire. Scald and scour your pot. If you use a percolator be sure to clean the tube. A stale, dirty pot will never make fresh, good coffee. Never wash a filter bag in hot water, it ‘‘cooks in'" the stains. Rinse it in cold water and keep itin cool water. Never let it dry. There can be no excuse now for poor coffee at your table. It is as easy to have good coffee as an excuse for coffee. You must begin with good ccffee. Get Putnam from your dealer tecay. Your family will call you blessed tomorrow morning.
