We had a more exciting few min-
utes one night when he insisted upon
walking home from the Quai d'Orsay.
I saw the four dark. silent figure-s
gliding together. two of them in
front of him and two behind. and I
saw the waiting motor-car at the cor-
ner of the street. Prudence led me
to anticipate their action. whatever
it might be. When they heard the
spit of bullets against the wall. they
took to their heels and ran. To the

clear skin and bright eyes of a
younger man: his snow~wbite hair
was a veritable adornment. He was
a delightful companion. and I easily
understood the enthusiastic adher-
ence of his friends. Toward the
close of luncheon Ennison spoke to
him quite seriously of the existence
of some conspiracy against either his

smiled.
“My friend.” he said. "I .much up

"W’here you will take a fresh cab

lnlu‘ked. "You need not. go out of

to retire to what Lutarde was
pleased to call my spy-bole. Not-

amazement it was Janet who was

“In a. sense I am not.” she replied.
taking the chalr to which he pointed
and leaning a little over his desk.
“It is my husband who should have
come. He would have waited upon
you and brought the letter and mes-
sage to which this note refers. but
he was attacked last night by an old
complaint of his—sciatitra—and he is
absolutely unable to move. He asked
me to hasten to you. and to beg that.
under the circumstances you would
do him the honor to come to the
hotel. He is ashamed to have to ask
you. but the doctor who is with him
now absolutely forbids him to stand
up. I have here his certificate."
"I will come without delay. ma-
dame." Lutai-de promised. waving
took our drive in thaBois. It was
easy to realize that. whatever the
business which had brought her to
Paris may have been. it was of a
disturbing nature. She was nervous

“I, came in a taxicab—it is wait-

would prefer your own car?"
"It is.no matter." he answered.
"At which hotel do you stay?"
”rho Hotel Napoleon. in the Rue
Tranchard." she replied.
The Minister started. I too re-
ceived a shock. for the district was
the most notorious in Paris.
“My dear madame." he protested.
"the neighborhood of the Rue Tran-
chard is certainly not a. fit place for
you and—" "
“That is what distressed my bus-
band so much in having to ask you
to gout: him.” she interrupted. “It
was paptlcular delire of the per
son on whose behalf he has come.
that his presence in Paris should not
be known. and my husband deliber-
ately chose this hotel. where he
sometimes stayed when engaged on
secret-service work during the war.
He desired me to say that if you pre-
ferred .not to risk being seen in such
a beauty, he would endeavor to pro-
cure an ambulance ca: from the hos-
pital and come here." -
‘ “Such a thing would be unheard
of." Lutarde protested. “I will go
with you. of course."
"Well?” my temporary chief
asked. looking across at me.
"The moment has arrived.” I an-
swat-ed.
“You suggest that the woman in-
an'irnpostor!” be exclaimed. -
“She ll the wife of a well-known

story was plausible but very improb

latter was a short and corpulent lit-

and imperial. vivid black eyes and a
most vivacious manner.
"Sir Norman (ix-eyes.” he said.
