return. To his great delight Felix had been
enabled to accomplish his errand in Belgium in
half the time he had believed possible, and had
reappeared In Baden-Ba on the night of the
grand ball. As 1t was late, and was very tired
from his long journey, he had gone directly to
his room at the hotel, and had slept late into
the next morning. until card from Gaspey, the
detective appeared with his breakfast.

o'clock, sir-says he has important business

beginning his chocolate and Kaiserbrodchen
Herr Gaspey arrived, beaming with compla-

speedy return.

Gaspey, rubbing his hands deightedly.

without any disturbance or interference from
the public. She protested her innocence, of
course. but there was no shrieking or fainting,
as expected there would be-"

"Not'a doubt of it; she acknowledged her
photograph directly, and answered to your de-
scription In every particular"

AN elderly party who profeased to be her
mother Thinking she might be an accomplice,

moment"
You are clever fellow, Gaspey, and deserve
the gratitude Of host of. people. Have a
cigar"
Half an hour later Herr Gaspey proudly
ushered Mr.. Wyatt into the presence Of his
captives, only to have his triumph turned to
utter CONSERVATION at the scene that followed.
