TJNC05IBE laid down his ctjb
and strolled toward tho side
bonrd, -where his guest waa
. already mixing himself . a
whlskjr and soda.
' "By the bye, Rimton," he said, "hare
yon seen anything of our friend Do
Rotbe since that little affair at your
place?" 7.
Lord Runton shook his head.
"Not once," ho answered. "Ho be
haved very -decently about it on the
whole; treated It quite lightly, but ho
wouldn't let me.go near the police. It
waa long way the most unpleasant
thing that ever hnppened in iny bouse."
-"Ne"Ver any further : light upon Jt, I J

Lord Runton shook his head.
"None. Of course we could have
traced them both without a doubt If
we had put it in tbe hands of the po
lice, but De Bothe wouldn't bear of
It, He tried to treat It lightly, but I
know that he was very much worried."
-,"Do you yourself believe," Dun
combe asked, "that it was a political
affair or an ordinary robbery?"
"I think that It was tho former,"
Lord Runton answered. "Those people
were not common adventurers. By the
bye, George, have you got. over your
little weakness yet?" be added, with a
smile.
- Duncombe shrugged his shoulders.
' "Nearly made a fool of myself, didn't
I?" he remarked, with a levity which
did not sound altogether natural.
"She was an uncommonly fascinat
ing young woman," Lord Runton said,
"but she didn't seem to me vory old at
the game. She was clever "enough to
fool De Bothe, though. He admits that
he told her that -he was expecting a
special messenger from Berlin.
7 Duncombe seemed - to have had
enough of the subject He got up and
filled his pipe. . .
Vis Jack coming down this week?"
he asked. . - .
; "No! He wired this morning that he
can't get away. Sefton isn't coming
either.:; Between ourselves, George,
something seems to be going on at the
foreign office which I don't quite un
derstand." v 7
; "What do you mean?" Duncombe
asked. "There has been no hint at
any sort of trouble in the papers."
. "That's I Just what I don't under
stand,". Lord Runton continued. "It is
certain that there is an extraordinary
amount of activity at Portsmouth and
Woolwich, but even the little halfpen
ny sensational papers make no more
than a passing allusion to It Then
look at tbe. movements of our fleet
The Whole of the Mediterranean fleet
is at Gibraltar, and the channel squad
ron is moving up tbe North sea as
though to loin the borne division. All
'these movement are quite unusual." -"What
do you make of them then V
'buncombe asked. ' "zU. ' ' - ',
- "I scarcely know, Lord Runton an
swered. "But I can tell you this:
There have been three cabinet coun
cils this week, and there is a curious
.air of apprehension in official circles
in town, as though something were
about to happen. The service clubs
are almost deserted, and I know for
fact that all leave in the navy has
been suspended. What I don't under,
stand Is the silence everywhere. It
lopka to me as though there were really-going
to "be trouble. The Baltic
fleet sailed this morning, you know."
Duuooinbe nodded. . -
"But," he said, "even it they were
111 disposed to us, as no doubt Russia
ia Just now, what could they do? One
squadron of our fleet could send tfietn
to tbe bottom." ' . '
"No doubt" Lord Bunton answered,
But supposing they found an ally?"
"France will never, go to war with
ns for Russia's benefit," Duncombe de
clared.' ' t " - " .
"Granted." Lord Runton answered,
"but have you watched Germany's at
titude lately?" : -
-I can't say that I barer Duncombe
admitted "but . I should never took
npon Germany as a war seeking na
tion." -7 7 -7 ' 7- ' - '
-No. I dare say not," "Lord Bunton
answered. "No more would treat
many other people. Every on will
ing to admit that she would Dko out
colonies, but no one will believe that
he has the courage to strike a blow for
tbem. , I will tell you what I bell ere,
Duncombe. I believe that so great
poweV haa ever before been la so dan
raroo position as wo are today."
Duncombe aat trp In his chair. The
wearloree paaaed from bis face, and
be was distinctly Interested. Lord
Bunton, without being an ardent poli
tician, was a man of contnios) senM
and was closely connected with more
than one member of tho cabinet.

ed, really made Phyllis Poynton and
her brother pawns In tbe great game?
He felt himself stirred to a rare emo
tion by the flood of possibilities which
swept In suddenly upon him.5,; Lord
Bunton noted with surprise the signs
of growing excitement In his listener.
"Go on, Runton. Anything else?"
Lord Bunton helped , himself to a
cigarette and leaned acrosB to light it.
"Of course," he continued, "I know
that there are a great many people'
who 'firmly believe that for commercial
reasons Germany would never seek a
quarrel with' us. I will agree" with
tlierafso far -as to say that I do not be
lieve that a war with England would
be popular among the bourgeois of
Germany. On the other hand, they
would be quite powerless to prevent it.
The emperor and his ministers have
the affair in their own hands. ; A slight
break in our diplomatic relations, some
trifle seized bold of by the press and
magnified at once Into nn insult and
tbe war torch is kindled.:. Today war
does not come about by the slowly
growing desire of nations. Tbe threads
of fate are In the hands of a few diplo
matists at Berlin and London a turn
of the wrist and .thero Is tension
which a breath can turn either way.
Ton ask me why the emperor should
choose England for attack. There are
many reasons. Pint because Eng
land alone could repay him for the
struggle. Secondly, because he Is In
tensely and miserably jealous of our
own king, who has avoided all his own
hot headed errors and has yet played
a great and' individual part in the
world's affairs. Thirdly, because Eng
land is most easily attacked. I could
give you other reasons if you wanted
them." ' ' -li,:
"Quite enough," Duncombe answer
ed. "What do you suppose would be
the 'casus belli f "
"The progress' of the Russian fleet
through English waters," Lord Bunton
answered promptly. "Russia's Interest
in such a misunderstanding would be,
of course. Immense. She has only to
fire on an English ship, by mistake, of
course, and the whole fat would be In
tbe Are. England probably would In
sist upon the squadron being detained;
Germany would protest against any
such action. We might very welt be
at war with Russia and Germany with
In ten days. Russia would Immedi
ately either make terms with Japan
or abandon any active operations In
Manchuria and move upon India. Ger
many would come for us." w
"Is this . all purely Imagination,"
Duncombe asked, "or have you any
thing to go on?"
"So far as I am concerned," Lord
Bunton said slowly, "1, of course,
know nothing, but I have a strong Ides
that the government has at least a sus
picion of some secret understanding
between Bussla and Germany. Their
preparations seem almost to suggest It
Of course, we outsiders csn only guess,
after all, at what Is going on, but It
seems to me that there la a chance to
day for our government to achieve a
diplomatic coup." -
"In what direction?" ' " 7
; "An alliance with France. Mind, I
am afraid that there are Insurmount
able obstacles, but If ft were possible
It would be checkmate to our friend
the emperor, and be would have noth
ing left but to climb down. Tbe trou
ble is that In the absence of any defi
nite proof of an understanding be
tween Bussla and Germany, France
could not break away from her alli
ance with the former. Our present ar
rangement would Insure, I believe, s
benevolent neutrality, but an alliance,
If only tt could be compassed, would be
the greatest diplomatic triumph of our
days, "Hello! Visitors st this hour!

son In a 'black beard and gold rimmed
eyeglasses, the other as unmistakably
an Englishman of the lower middle
class. , HIS broad shoulders and some
what stiff bearing seemed to suggest
tome sort of drill. Looking them over,
Duncombe found himself Instinctive,
ly , wondering ; whether the personal
strength of these two, which was ob
vious; might become a factor In the
coming interview. '
' Tbe baron naturallywas spokesman.
He bowed very gravely to Duncombe,
and did not offer bis band.--'
"I must-apologise, Sir George," he
said, "for disturbing you st such an
Inopportune hour. Our business, how
ever," made it necessary for us to reach
yon with as little-delay as possible." J
. "Perhaps you will be good enough to
explain,'1- Duncombe answered, -what
that business is.
- Tbe baron raised his hands with a
little protesting gesture.; '
"I regret to tell you. Sir George," be
announced, "that It la of a most un
pleasant nature. I could- wish that Its
execution had fallen into other hands.
My companions are M. Bidalle of the
French detective service, and our other
friend here, whom I do not know, is
constable from the ; Norwich police
court My own connections with the
police service of iny country you have
already, without doubt, surmised."
"GO on Duncombe said. - J. . ?-.-
regret to say," M. Louis continued.
'that my friends here are in charge of
warrant for your arrest .Tou will
find them possessed of all' the legal
documents, French and English. We
shall have to ask you to .come to Nor
wich with us tonight."
"Arrost I" Duncombe repeated. "On
what charge?" "...
'An extremely serious one," tbe bar
on answered gravely. "The charge of
murder !"
Duncombe stared at him In amaze
ment
"Murder!" he repeated. "What rub
bish!"
"The murder Of Mile, de MermllUon
in her lodging on the night of the 7th
of June last," the baron said gravely.
Please do not make any remarks be
fore these men. Tbe evidence against
you Is already sufficiently strong."
Duncombe laughed derisively.
"What sort of a puppet show is this?"
be exclaimed. "You know as well ss
any man living bow that poor girl
came to her end. This is a cover for
something else,of course. What do
you want of me? Let's get at It with
out wasting time."
"What we want of you la, I am
afraid, only too simple," the baron an
swered, shrugging bis shoulders. "We
must ssk you to accompany us at once
to Norwich castle. Tou will have to
appear before the magistrate In tb
morning, when they will sign the ex.
tradition warrant Our friend here.
M. Bidalle, will then take charge of
you. Perhaps you would like to look
through th documents. Ton will And
tbem all In perfect order." . ...
Duncombe mechanically glanced
through the French and Engllah papers
which were spread out before him.
They had certainly a most uncomforta
ble appearance of being genuine, . He
began to feel little bewildered.
Ton mean to say that yon bar
come here to arrest m on this charge?
That you want me to Co away with
you tonight?" be asked. ;
"It Is not a matter of wanting yon
to come," the baron answered coldly.
"It ts a matter of necessity."
Duncombe moved toward the fire
place. 'yv7:.(,; i.;.'7; -!-
"Will you allow m tbe privilege or
a few moments' conversation with you
In private?" be said to the - baron.
"Tour companions will perhaps excuse
you for a moment" ' ;
The baron followed without remark.
They stood facing one another upon
tbe hearth rug. Duncombe waned one
elbow upon th mantelpiece and turn
ed toward bis compsnlon. .
"Look hero," be said, "those papers
seem genuine enough, and If you insist
upon It 1 will go with yon to Norwich.
I shall take care not to let you out of
my sight, and if when w get tber I
find that It Is sny part of on of your
confounded conspiracies yon will find
that th penalties for this sort f thing

"Tbe documents," b said, "are gen

tbe magistrate must grant tb extra

"There was no-time to procur It'
M. Louis explained. "Brents march
rapidly today. To be effective that pa

necessity for Its production aroso only

"You ask me, then," Duncomb said
slowly, "to band over to yon a paper

"I do not insist" be remarked. "I

M. Louis turned to hi assistants,

"And supposing 1 refuse to comer"
Duncombe asked.
M. Loula smiled.
"You would scarcely b so foolish,''
he remarked. 7 "In that case I should
send the policeman her to tb nearest

perfect order and our cas complete.
You would scarcely b so foolish, I
think, aa to set yourself In direct oppo

Duncombo was silent for several mo

Loula looked at blm Inquiringly, but
before be could frame a question th

"Pack my things for a week.

Tbe man bowed and withdrew. M.

"A week!" b remarked. "Yon will

It Is altogether to the Interest of Miss

herself, she would place- tbem In my

"Possibly," Duncomb . answered.
"Suppositions, however, do not Interest
me. I undertook the .charge of what
she gave ma, and I 'shall fulfill my
trust"', "'.7. ," .7..'f:777' r- -s.
M. Louis turned to lb policeman.
"Officer," be said, "this is Sir Gaorg
Duncomb. Do your duty."
Th man stepped forward and laid
his bsnd upon Sir George's shoulder.
"Very sorry, sir," b said. "I am
forced to arrest you on this warrant
for tb murder of Florence MermllUon
on th night of tb 7th of June, Yoa

Duncomb waved bis band toward
th sideboard, - s. -rv -
"If yon gentlemen," b remarked.

'It la against tb rules, sir, thank
you," tb man anawered. "I should b

Duncomb filled both bis pockets
with cigars and cigarette. Tbm b
turned toward tb door.
"I am qui to ready," b said.
They followed him out Tber was

So they drove off, Duncomb la tb

IN this ago of doubt many of our
most cherished legends are being
' assaulted, the various apple sto
. ries along with the rest . There
bav been at loast three famous apples
In history -the one eaten by Adam and
Eve, the one shot off bis son's head by
William Tell and the one whoso fall
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the law
Of gravitation. Despite the scoffing of
th higher criticism, we still cherish
these pippins and are determined to
stand by them, 17 ,.7
Newton was ratbor a dull boy and
was literally kicked Into' exertion. He
stood at tbe foot of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
Tbe Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this Indignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only ; whipped the
kicker, but determined to go ahead of
him In the- class. ' This be did, and
more, for be went to the bead of tbe
row and stayed there. 4
Tb secoatl spur to effort received by
tbe young man cam at the time he
ought admission to Cambridge univer
sity. He knew so llttls sbout Euclid
that the professor of mathematics op
posed admitting him. Newton there
upon determined to know Euclid and
succeeded so well that be became the
greatest mathematical genius of mod
ern times,;..-;" i"' 1
' Voltaire started tbe story of tbe ap
ple that fell and hit Newton so hard
that the young man determined to find
out what made It fall. If so great a
skeptic ss Voltaire could awallow tb
story, tber Is no reason why It should
hot be accepted by th other akeptlca.
When Sir Isaac first made bis coin-
butations on the subject of gravita
tion, be was misled by the erroneous
lotions then held of tbe length of tb
earth's radius. He therefor abandon
ed tb theory temporarily. Later tb
error was corrected, when ho returned

famous "Priuclpls." :. --"! - ; 7-
