PART III.

ST was overwhelmed, as you may
imagine, at this proof of her acquaint-
ance with the transaction at the din
that restrained myself from allowing
my dismay TO be visible. AT the same
time the serious character of the warn
ing which she had given me served to
increase the uneasiness which / had Ia
bored under for some time. j bowed
gravely to show that understood what
TO do, and after allowing short time to
elapsc, SO as to prevent remark, made
my way to where Prince George was
standing and asked permission TO retire.
"The prince was engaged at the mo-
ment in talking TO Starovitch himself.

for me to leave before his highness him

"I fapcied that l caught n look In

1.-The premier is discreet man., he
observed, cynically. Should any un-
expected difficulty arise while l am
away, involving the interests of Rus
sia, you will not do badly to consult
him.
"The matter was thus arranged. In
due course the Russian handed over
the care of his legation to me, and took
his departure.
"Shortly after he had left the cap
ital banquet was given Mt the palace,
to which / received an invitation. The
affair was not one OF state. but good
many distinguished functionaries were
present, including the Austrian minister
and NJ. Starovitch.
"I was graciously received by Prince
George, and with still more cordiality
by his beautiful and distinguished con-
sort. When we sat down to dinner
found myself Jon the left of the prin-
cess. who sat between me and the prince,
while the prime minister was on my

AS the evening advanced l even began
TO perceive something in the atmos-
phere which warned me that this
gathering had some hidden signifi-

freely, had hardly exchanged a word
with his wife since we sat down, while
he kept indulgipg In long, confidential

would be more prudent TO say nothing

my ear close to his lips.

gasped, and ceased.
"That was all. l was destined TO
hear no more. Corpses make no con-

The ambassador allowed decent
interval to pass, as if TO proclaim bis
respect for the memory of the muir
dered statesman. Then he resumed:
poor Starovitch had hardly drawn
his last breath when the chief of police
rushed in at the head of staff of Off
GERS. He frowned when his glance en-
oountered me there by the side of the
dead man, but instantly softening his
expression he advanced respectfully
and said to me:
"T perceive that l have arrived too
late. Perhaps, NJ. lie Baron, your
friend was able TO give you some hint

and replied with the most perfect cool
ness:

the princes eyes were turned away, l
managed to get the packet up under my

''As soon as she had got rid Of the
