Doris was mistaken with regard to
her lovers return. To his great de-
light, Felix had been able to accom-
plish his errand in Belgium in half the
time he had believed possible and had
reappeared in Baden-Baden on the
night of the grand ball. AS it was
late and he was very tired, he had gone
directly to his room, and slept late
into the next morning, until a card
from Gaspey, the detective, appeared
with his breakfast.
"The gentleman has been waiting
since 8 o'clock, sir-says he has i'm
portant business with you" announced
the waiter.
"Show him up" replied Mr.. Wyatt,
leisurely beginning his chocolate.
Herr Gaspey arrived, beaming with
complacency, and congratulated Felix
on his speedy return.
