Mrs. Gordon and Vera met him at the door, hav ing heard the cab's wheels upon the pay ment. Itefore lie could tell his story, even In the briefest form, nother cab rolled up. bringing Cordon, who had been but a few minutes too late to meet his friend at the station. Darrell laid the facts before them all, admitting that he was wholly unable to Tarnish an explanation. "It would seem to me like one of those accidental crimes that are so hard to trace." said Gordon. "This man Ladislov. after vainly pursuing you. became separated from his com- . panlon and encountered an enemy i who took advantage of an unexpected I "l'Porruuity. Such men have number- ' j less enemies. They carry their lives in ! , their hands. Perhaps this act of pri ! vate vengeance is connected with the attempt to drag Mile. Shevaloff back to Russia, but probably It isn't." , In regard to this question Vera evad- i ed si direct expression of opinion. "There are among my friends." said she, "or at least among those with whom I have recently been brought j Into contact, men who would not regret the death of Captain Ladislov it -,,o : like almost all spies, as well known and conspicuous as the Eiffel tower. Hut my closest associates had no ul.-a i of his designs upon me. They could not have learned cf my capture in so short a time. Therefore I have no sus- pk-ion as to who killed Caniain r.ni;. i I lov." The fruitless discussion which fol lowed was broken off by Mrs. Cordon who Insisted that Vera must seek rest! Indeed there could be no doubt of the prevent."' "Vengeance?" echoed Gordon. "Beyond a doubt the girl is a conspir ator of some sort." said the ladv.

It appeared that upon her I mother's side she was descended from a princely house of Circassia. of which she was almost the sole survivor. Moreover. s'ie had a strain of Amer ican blood hrough an international marriage two generations back, and to that, in her opinion, she owed her . chief distinguishing peculiarities both , of mind and body. Certainly her ap pearance was most unusual for a Cir cassian. She made no attempt to secure her personal effects, and the Gordons were not aware that she communicated with the persons in whose charge the things then were, but she obtained money from a bank where she had an ac count under an assumed name. Dar rell presented the check for her, and it was for a large sum. which" was o.-ii.l without question. Such things as she ciiuucu were purchased for her Mrs. Gordon.

On the second day she asked leave to receive two gentlemen, and as a result of this permission and a note dispatch ed by a messenger there appeared at the house about I) o'clock in the even ing two persons of a somewhat formi dable aspect.

Darrell crossed to the eastern win dow and stood for some time in silence, looking out upon the gray morning, lie turned at the sound of Mrs. Gordon's voice. "I have to thank you.

Gordon sank into a chair and watch- I ed Darrell walk half a mile. Then he ; said: "Old man, you're jealous." j Darrell stopped short and for some ! seconds regarded his friend with that I glance of careful, searching inquiry which was so good a mask for the ra pidity of his thought.

She cares nothing for me. either to serve her in this dangerous business or for my. own personal merits. I love her; wholly upon my own responsibility and j because I can't help it.
