The negotiations between Turkey
and the representatives of the Powers
at Constantinople have come to q
standstill, and just what the outcome
will be may not be known for some
time. Greece has evidently had
enough of war and the cost of it, and
she may be more willing to submit to
Europe in anything pertaining to her
future destiny. The Sultan takes
every advantage of this pause, while
the Gear and the German Emperor
are each pulling in different directions.
England alone will not undertake the
responsibility OF settling matters.
But it is understood that Lord
Salisbury can be trusted to see that
the Turk is not given any European
territory. What the armistice will
result in no one knows.

CHAPTER Wi.
ON THE HEELS OF JAMES MULLEN.

ON IKE HEELS OF JAMES MI
/ had already decided that my next
destination must be Stanby, where it
would be necessary to pay visit to
Professor Lawrance's hair cutting ostab-
lishment. But first had TO read the
letters l had secured. so l turned into a
small, quiet looking hotel and, having
ordered dinner, asked that might have
the use of bedroom. Then rang for
jug Of boiling water, and on its arrival
l dived into the folds of my umbrella,
and having brought up the two epistles
which were there secreted / proceeded
to hold them over the steam until the
gum was so moist that it was possible
to open them.
The letter for Green was, as l have
said, directed TO himself in his own
writing. 1t contained nothing more i'm.
portant than q sheet of blank note paper,
which, as the reader will already have
surmised, had evidently been sent as a
blind, its purpose being to afford the
inquiry agent an excuse for calling at
the shop where it had been delivered.
The letter addressed to Mr.. Henry
Jeanes-that which had attracted my
attention from the fact of its bearing
the postmark of the very town in Nor
way where l had reason TO believe Null
lens sister was staying-promised to be
more interesting, and it was with no
little eagerness that l opened it and
read as follows:
JAMES Your letter to hand. / can.
not reply at present, as Stanley has
gone to Bergen, but l will write you
again on his return F."
Though short and unimportant as ro-
CARDS contents, this letter was Of the
highest Importance in other respects
firstly, because it was evidently from
Mrs. Stanley Burgoyne and intended
for the eye Of James Mullen, and SO in
every way confirmed the genuineness of
the letter had found in Green's cigar
case; secondly, because it disclosed |
some information that might other
wise have had much difficulty in discov-
name under which Mullen's |
was being addressed to
him.
1t was of the highest Importance if |
n 7 ilen was to fall into the trap which |
