Duncombe answer ed. "That woman you are with Is a spy If you have anything to do with her you are injuring Phyllis Poynton. She Is not here to give you informa tion. Sho is at work for her own tnds." "You are becoming more communi cative, my friend," Androw. said, with something which "was almost a sneer. "Yon did not talk so freely a few minutes bnek. It seems as though we were on the eve of a discovery." "You are on the brink of making an Idiot of yourself," Duncombsronswered quickly. "You were mad to bring that blundering English detective over here. What the French police cannot or do not choose to discover, do you suppose that they would allow nn Englishman to find out u stranger to Paris and with nn accent like that? If I cannot keep you from folly by any other means, I must break my word to others. Come back into tlio smoking room with me, a,nd I will toll you why you are mad to have anything to do with that woman." "Thnnk you," Andrew answered. "I think not. I havo confidence in Mr. Lloya, my menu here, and IJiave none In you." "Andrew!" "I speak as I feel!" "Leave me out of the question. It Is rhyllls Poynton you will harm. sen that your friend Is listening and mademoiselle Is Impatient. Make your excuses for ten minutes, Andrew. You will never regret It." The detective, who had evidently overheard everything, stepped back to them. "You will excuse my Interfering, sir," he said, "but If this case is to remain In my hands at all it is neces sary for me to hear all that Sir George Duncombe has to say. The young lady will wait for a moment. This case is difficult enough as it is, what with the jealousy of the French police, who naturally don't want us to find out what they can't. If Sir George Dun. combe has any information to give now,", the man added with emphasis, "which he withheld a few minutes am I think that I ought to hear It from his own lips." "I ncree entirely with what Mr. Lloyd has said," Andrew declared. Duncombe shrugged "his shoulders. He looked around him cautiously, but they were In a corner of the entresol, and no one was within hearing dis tance. "Very well," he said. "To save you from danger and Miss Poynton from further trouble I am going to break a confidence which has been reposed In me, and to give you the benefit of my own surmises. In the first place, Mr. Lloyd is mistaken 4n-gupposIng that the French police have been in the least puzzled "by this double disappear ance. On the contrary, they are per fectly well aware of all the facta of the case and could have produced MIsa Poynton or her brother at any mo ment . They are working not for us, but against us!" "Indeed!" Mr. Lloyd said In a tone of disbelief. "And their object?" "Here to as much of the troth as I dare tell you," Duncombe said.

These are the crude facts. "I have only known tbem a few hours myself, and there is a good deal which I cannot explain. But this I honestly and firmly believe. Neither you nor I nor Mr. Lloyd here can do the slight est good by Interfering in this matter. For myself, I am leaving for England tonight." Duncombe, like most honest men, ex pected to be believed. If he had enter tained the slightest doubt about It, he would not have dared -to open bis mouth. The silence that followed he could understand. No doubt they were as amazed as be had been. But it was a different thing whon he saw the ex pression on Andrew's face as he turned to his companion. "What do you think of this, Lloyd?" he asked. "I am afraid, sir," the man answered, "that some of the clover ones have been imposing upon Sir George. It generally turns out so when amateurs tackle a Job like this." Duncombe looked at him In astonish-, ment "Do you mean to say that you don't believe me?" he exclaimed. "I wouldn't put it like that sir," the man answered, with a deprecating smile. "I think yon have been misled by those who did not wish you to dis cover the truth." Duncombe turned sharply on bis heel. "And you, Andrew?" "I wish to do you Justice," Andrew answered coldly, "and I nm willing to believe that you have fnlth yourself in the extraordinary 'story you hove Just told us. But, frankly, I think that yon have been too credulous." Duncombo lost his temper. Be turn ed on his heel and walked back into the hotel. "You can- go to the devil your own way," he declared. CHAFTEIt XXXI. s PENCER tried to rlso from his sofa, but the effort was too much for him. Pale and thin, with black lines under his eyes and bloodless lips, he seemed scarcely more than the wreck of his former self. His visitor laid his stick and bat upon the table. Then he bowed once more to Spencer and stood looking at him, leaning slightly against the table. "I nm permitted," he asked gently, "to introduce myself?" "Quite unnecessary," Spencer an swered. ;;, The baron shrugged his shoulders. "You know me?" he asked. The shadow of a Bmlle flitted across Spencer's face. "By many names, M. Louis," he an swered. His visitor smiled. Debonair In dress and deportment, there seemed nothing In the air of gentle concern with which he regarded the man whom he bad come to visit to inspire mistrust. 1'et Spencer cursed the lan guor which had kept him from recover ing the revolver which an hour or more before had slipped from under neath his cushion. "It saves trouble," M. Louis, said. "I come to you, M. Spencer, as a friend." "Yon alarm me," Spencer murmured. M. Louis shrugged his shoulders, "You are pleased to be witty," be answered, "but Indeed, I am no such. terrible person. It is permitted mat I smoke?' "Certainly," Spencer answered. "If you care for wine or liqueurs, pray ring for my servant I can assure yon that it is not by my own will that yon find me so Indifferent a host" "I thank you," if. Louis answer ed. "I think that we will not ring the bell. It would be a pity to dis turb an interview to which I have looked forward with so much pleas ure." "L'affalre Toynton?", Spencer sug gested. "Precisely r "Yon have perhaps come to complete tbe little affair In which eo far yon have succeeded so admirably?" "Pray do not suggest such a thlnff,, M. Louis answered dcprecatlngly. "For one thing. I should not per sonally run tbe risk. And for snother, bare I not already assured you that I come it a friend r "It was then," Spencer answered, "that I began to be frightened." M. Loci smiled. He drew a gold cigarette case from his pocket snd calmly Itt a cigarette. "Since you permit men amt" be said. "Good! I speak better when I smoke. Yon are not so 111. I see, but that yon retain that charming sense of bomor which your reaoers pay. learned so well bow to appreciate." The dose was scarcely strong enough Spencer snswered, "or per haps by good fortune I stumbled npoa tbe proper antidote." "I mmm Mtat TOO Dk DUUH SPeuwa. It Louis eon tinned, with a gentle smile, "Permit soe to assure 700. then, that tbe dose waa quite aa strong ss we wished. Extremes are sometimes aee but we sroid tbem wMoersf possible." ' -I wonder where It Happened,- epsw eer said reflectlTely. "I bare been so my guard all the time. IbeTewatcti. ed my wine and eoffee at the cafes. and I have eaten only la tne- restau rants that I know." M. Louis did not seem to tuna tne matter Important. "It waa bound to happen.- a "If roe bsd been like your friends fbe Enrfiak. baronet and tbe last two. wbe are erea more amostng-psrnape X would not hare been em wiry. But feu understand yon were beginning la discorer things." Tea," Speoce admitted, "I waa be rranrng to get Interested -Exactly. We were forced to act. I ran assure yen.

Bnt they remain unharmed. If by any chance they should blunder into the knowledge of things which might cause db annoyance, why, then there would be more invalids in Paris. Indeed, monsieur, we do not seek to abuse onr power. My errand to you today la one of mercy." "You make me ashamed," Spencer aid, with a sarcasm which he took no pains to conceal, "of my unworthy sus picions. To proceed." . "You have sent for Sir George Dun combe to come and see you." Spencer was silent for a moment His own servant It was not possible. "Well?" 1 "Even you," tbe baron continued, "have not yet solved the mystery of l'affalre Poynton. But you know more than Sir George. Let me recommend that you do not share your knowledge with him " "Why uotr "If you do, Sir George will at once share your Indisposition." "I begin to understand," Spencer said. "How otherwise? Send Sir George home. You see the delicacy of our po sition. It Is not so much that we fear Sir George Duncombe's Interference, "I am permitted," he titke.il gently, "to introduce myscij j- but be, again, Is followed and watched over by our enemies, who would easily possess themselves of any Information which he might gain." Spencer nodded. "It Is good reasoning," he admitted. "Listen!" M. Louis continued. "I speak now on behalf of my friends. You know whom I mean. You have solved the mystery of our existence. We are omnipotent The police 'and the secret service police and the gov ernment itself are with us. We have license throughout the city. We may do what others may not For ua there is no crime. I kill you now perhaps. The police arrive. I am before tbe commissioner. I give blm the sign It is l'affalre Poynton. I go free. It la a certain thing." "Granted!" Spencer said. "Proceed with your killing or your argument" "With the latter, if you please," M. Louis answered. "I do not choose to kill. L'affalre Poynton, then. Harm Is not meant to either of these young people. That I assure yon upon my honor In three weeks, or, ssy, a month, we have finished. They msy return to their homes If they will. We have no further Interest In tbem. For those three weeks you must remain as you are you and, If you bars Influence over bim, Sir George Duncombe. The other two fools we have no care for. If they blunder Into knowledge welL Lthey must pay. They are not our con cern, yours snd mine. For you 1 nnng an offer, M. Spencer." "Tlmeo Dana os dona fereotes!" Spen cer murmured. M. Louis smiled. "My gift" be snswered, "will not terrify you. Yon are a Journalist I offer to make tbe fortune of your pa per. Ton shall be tbe first to announce an affair of tbe greatest International Importance since tbe wsr between Russia and Japan was declared. Not I will go further than that It is the greatest event since Waterloo." "L'affalre Poynton strikes so deep?" Spencer remarked. "80 deep," tbe baron answered. "It to tbe foole wbo grope their way Into great places. So did tbe boy Poynton. Yon, my friend, abatl be tbe one bril liant exception. You shall make your self the king of Journalists, and yon shall be quoted down tbe century as baring achieved tbe greatest journal istic feat of modern days." Spencer turned bis drawn, bsirxsrd face toward bis Tlaltor. A slight flews, of color stained bis rbrek. "You fascinate nie." be said slowly. "X admit It Yon bare found tbe weak spot In my , srtnor. Proceed! Foe whom do yon speak?" M. Louis abandoned bla somewhat lounging sttltodn. Ha stood by Spen cer's side and, traalna down, whisper sd In Ws ear. Spencer's eyes grew brieht "II.

You wish that I should send him?" "Without doubt" Spencer answered. "I am weary of this couch." "You shall leave It In a week," mon sieur promised aa he left the room. Spencer closed bis eyes. Already be felt coming on the daily headache, which, with tbe terrible weakness, were part of his symptoms. But there was no rest for him yet M. Louis had scarcely been gone five minutes when Duncombe arrived. Duncombe bad had no word of bis friend's Illness. He stood over his couch In shocked surprise. v "My dear fellow," he exclaimed, "I bad no Idea that yon were 111. Tola Is why I have not beard from you, tbea" Spencer smiled aa be held out bis hand, and Duncombe, wbo seemed to catch some meaning In the upraised eyobrows of bis friend, wss sbooked. "You mean?" be exclaimed. Spencer nodded. "L'affalre Poynton," bo said gently. "A very subtle dose of poison Indeed, my friend. I shall not die, but I have had my little lesson. Here the Indi vidual has little chance. We fight against forces that are too many for us. I told you so at the start" "Yet I," Duncombe answered, "havo not suffered." "My friend," Spencer answered, "it is because I am the more dangerous." 'You have discovered something?" Duncombe exclaimed. 'I came near discovering a great deal," Spencer answered. "Perhaps It would have been better for my system If I had discovered a little leas. As It Is, I bare finished with l'affalre Poyn ton for the present Yon see how very nearly l'affalre Poynton finished me." - "It Is not like you," Duncombe said thoughtfully, "to give anything up." "We come face to face somotlmsa with unique experiences which destroy precedent," Spencer answered. "This is one of tbem." "And what" Duncombe asked, "do you advise me to do?" "Always the same advice," Spencer answered. "Leave Paris today. Go straight back to Norfolk, read the newspapers and await events." "Well, I think that I shall do so," Duncombe answered slowly. "I have found out where Miss Poynton Is, but sho will not see me I have made aa enemy of my dearest friend, snd I have, at any rate, Interrupted your ca reer and endangered your life. Yes; X will go back home." "You may yet save your friend some inconvenience," Spencer suggested. "Try snd persuade him to go back with you." "He will -tot listen to me," Dun comlio answered. "He has brought an English detective with him, and be la as obstinate as a mule. For myself, I leave at 0 o'clock." "You are well advised exceedingly well advised." Spencer said "Mind, I do not take the responsibility of send ing yon away without serious reasons. I honestly believe that Miss Poynton Is safe, whatever may hare happened to her brother, and I believe that yon will serve her best by your temporary absence." Duncombe stood for a moment wrap ped in thought Tbe last few months bad aged blm strangely. The strenu ous days and nights of snxlous thought bad left their mark In deep lines upon his face. He looked out of the window of Spencer's room, snd bis eyes ssw little of the busy street below. He wss slone once more with this strange, terrified girl upon tbe hillside with the wind In their feces and making wild bavoe In her hair. He waa with ber In different mood In the tittle room be hind bis library, wbea tbe natural Joy of ber young Ufa bad for tbe moment reasserted Itself. He wss with ber at their parting. He ssw tbe half fear ful regret with which she had left bla care and accepted the Invitation, of tbe marquise. Stirring times tbsse bad been for a man of bla quiet tempera ment, whom matters of sentlmeat and romance bed psssed lightly by and whose pssstons hsd never before been touched by tbe finger of ore.

L Importance of Laying Out a High way Properly. AVOID ALL STEEP GRADES. Straight Roads tha Right Kind to Have, but In Hilly Countriea Their Straight naaa 8hould Bo 8aorificd to Obtain a Laval Surface. All tbe Important roads in tbe United States can be and doubtless will be macadamized or otherwlso improved in the not distant future. This expecta tion should govern their present loca tion snd treatment everywhere. Un less changes arc made in the location of the roads In many parts of tho Unit ed States it would be worso than folly to macndnuilzo them. "Any costly re surfacing of the existing roads will fasten thom wbcro-they aro for genera tions," says General Stone. The chief difficulty In the United States is not with tbe surface, but with the steep, grades, many of which are too long to be reduced by cutting and filling on tbe present lines, and If this could be done it would cost more in many cases than relocating thom, says Mo for News. Many of our roads wore originally laid out without any attention to gen eral topography, and In most cases fol lowed tho settler's path from cabin to cabin, tbe pig trail, or ran along tbe boundary lines of the farms regardless of grades or direction. Most of tbem remain today whore tbey were located years ago, and where untold labor, ex pense and energy have been wasted In trying to haul over them and In en deavors to Improve their condition. Tho great error Is mado of continu ing to follow theso primitive paths with our public highways. Tho right courso Is to call In an engineer and throw the roait around the end or along tho sldo of steep hills Instead of continually going over them or to pull tho road up on dry, solid ground In stead of splashing through tho mud and water of the creek or swamp. Far more time nnd money have been wast ed hi trying to keep up a single milo of one of these "pig track" surveys than It would take to build and keep In repair two miles of good rood. Another and perhaps greater error Is mado by aouio persons In tho west wbo coutlnuoTo lay out their roads on "sec tion lines." Theso sections are al square, with sides running north, south, SMCVATISa ROAD OUADEB. east ami west A person wishing to cross tho country in any other than these directions must nocessarlly do so in rcctuugiilnr xlgiuigs. It also neces sitates' very often the crossing and re crossing of hills and valleys which might bo avoided If tbe roads bad been constructed on scientific principles. Iu tho pralrlo state of lows, for ex smplo, wbcro roads are no worse than In many other states, thereis a great er number of roads having much steep er grades thsn aro found In the moun tainous republic of Switzerland. In Maryland lbs old stagecoach road or turnpike rauulng from Washington to Baltimore makes almost a "bee lino," regardless of bills or volleys, and tbe grades st places are as steep as 10 or 12 per cent where by making little do tours tbe road might bare tieen made perfectly level or by running It up the hills k-sst abruptly the grade might bare been reduced to 3 or 4 per cent, as Is douo In the billy regions of many parte of this snd other countries. Straight roods are the proper kind to nave., but In billy countries their strslgtitness slwnild always be sacri ficed to obtain a level surface, so ss to better accommodate the peoplo who use tbem. Graceful and natural curves conform ing to the ley of tbe land add beauty to tbe tondsrsne, besides enhancing the value of the property. Not only do lev el curved rouds sdd beauty to tbe land scape and make lands skmg tbem more vslnable, but the horse Is able to U tills bis full strength over them. Furtbermore, a horse can poll only four -fifths ss much on a grade of two feet la 100 feet This gradually lessens until with a grade of ten feet In 100 feat be can draw but one-fourth' aa morn as be can on a level road. All roads should therefore wind around hi Us or be cut through Instead of running over them, and In manf easea tbe former can be done without greatly Increaalng the 'distance. To Ulnstrste, If aa apple or pear be cut la half and one of the halve placed on a flat surface. It win be seen that the hortoontst distance around from atom to blossom to no greater than the dis tance over between tbe same points. Mere Far Oevennnut Aid. W.
