Good-day.” “Good-day, sir,” replied the to house, Gaston Max, whe had diplomat feally remained in the background thruout this tnterview, now spoke: “Altho ‘The Scorpion,’ as I hope, believes that that troublesome Charles Malet is dead, he may also wonder if Scotland Yard has secured from Dr. Stuart's fire any fragments of the Information sealed in the en- velope! What does it mean, this re- leasing of the yellow car, closing of the bank account and departure from the Savoy? “It means flight?’ erled Dunbar, jumping violently to his feet. Gaston Max bowed. “It is true,” he replied, and from his pocket he took a slip of flimsy paper. “This code message reached me as I was about to leave my hotel The quadroon, Miguel, left Paris last night and arrived in London this morning—" “He was followed?’ cried Dunbar. “But certainly. He was followed to Limehouse, and he was definitely seen to enter the establishment de scribed to us by Inspector Kelly” “Ged?” said Dunbar— “then some. one is still there?” “Somone, as you say, is stil! there,” replied Max. “But every. thing points to the imminent depart ure of this someone, Will you see to it, inspector, that not a rat— pardieu! not a little mouse—ia al. llowed to slip out of our red circle today.

Walking out toward the dispen. sary, Stuart met Mrs. McGregory. “A postoffice messenger brought | this letter for you, Mr. Keppel, just the now,” she said, handing Stuart a sealed enpelope. He opened it and read: “Pefore I go away there ts some- thing I want to say to you. You do not trust me. It is not wonderful | that you do not. But I swear that I only want to save you from a great danger. If you will promise not to tell the police anything of it, I will meet you at 6 o'clock by the book stall at Victoria Station—on the Brigston side. If you agree you will wear something white in your button-hole. If not you cannot find me there. Nobody ever seca me again,” the letter read, There was no signature, but no signature was necessary, It was from Mile.

His duty wan plain enough, He knew that, rightly or wrongly, he was incapable of placing this note tn the hands of the police. A few minutes before the hour he | entered the station and glanced sharply around at the many groups scattered in the neighborhood of the bookatall, He turned—and she was standing | by his side! “You are angry with me,” enid Mile. Dorian, and Stuart thought) that her quaint accent was adorable. Her voice and her eyes completed the spell, and Stuart resigned him- self without another struggle to this insane infatuation, “We cannot very well talk here,” he said. “Suppose we go into the | hotel and have a late tea, Mile. | | Dorian.” | “1 am called Minka," she said. “Will you please call me Miska?” “Ot coruse, if you wish,” sald | Stuart, looking down at her as she walked by his side. “How lovely, you are!’ he aaid| hotly, “and how maddening it is to that you are an accom THE DOINGS OF THE DUFFS IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY FEED FROM THE TOPS OF ‘TREES, DADDY, WHY 15 IT “THAT GIRAFFES HAVE SUCH LONG MY SON! i acaeasendiniccanaail SO THAT THE GIRAFFES ByT WHY ARE!
