WE'VE BEEN DONE AGAIN." I
CRIED. BRINGING MY FIST DOWN
WITH A THUMP UPON THE TABLE.
It is her belief that they have come
to Paris in search of Hayle. There
would have been trouble had they
met, but, fortunately for them, and
for Hayle, he has given them the slip
once more. 1t would be possible for
you to find out whether they arrived
by the morning train, and also wheth-
er they have made inquiries at Hayle's
apartments would. it not?"
"Quite possible" he answered. 1T
shall be done at once. l will let you
know in less than an hour what 1 have
discovered"
thanked him, whereupon he bowed
to Miss Kitwater, and then disap-
peared. ,:-:. ......
m. Leglosse is also in pursuit of
Hayle." explained. He holds war
rant for his arrest on charge Of
embezzlement in Cochin China. For
that reason we are following him to
Naples tomorrow morning. e
ITO Naples. Has the wretched man
gone there?"
$50 we have been led to believe"
answered. -: ,..* -.
Then do you think my uncle will
find it out and follow him?" she asked,
wringing her hands. "Oh it is all too
terrible. What shall do?"
well, if might be allowed to be
like David Copperfield's Mr.. Dick, l
should be practical. and say. dine
l suppose you have had nothing to eat
since you left England?"
She gave little wan smile.
I'VE have not had very much, GER
tainly," she answered. Poor Nelly,
you must be nearly starving"
The maid, however, protested that
she was not; but was not to be de-
MED. Bidding them remain where they
were, went downstairs and inter-
viewed my faithful friend, the con-
cierge. With her l arranged that Miss
Kitwater and her maid should be pro-
night, and having done so went on to
the nearest restaurant. In something
less than ten minutes all was settled,
and in under 20 they were seated at
their meal. At first the girl would not
sit down with her mistress, but, with
her usual thoughtfulness, Miss Kit
water ordered her to do so.

when she had finished, 1--WE must dis
cover the hotel where we can stay tfe
night. At present we know of no
place in which to lay our heads
"You nee9 not trouble about that" "
I said. II have already arranged that
you shall have rooms in this house if
you care to occupy them. The old
lady to whom it belongs is aparticular
friend Of mine, and will certainly do
her best to make you comfortable. l
presume that it was your bag I saw In
the concierge's Office, when was there
Just now?"
1--WE left it there" she answered,
and then gave me my rew1rd by add
ing: 1T is very kind Of you, Mr.. Fair
fax, to have taken SO much trouble. I
cannn1 thank you sufficiently"
You must not thank me at ALL" !
replied! "In helping you am only
doing my duty to my client" -. :;
1had scarcely said the words before
regretted them. It YVES foolish
speech, and q churlish one as well. She
pretended not to notice it, however,
but babe her maid go down to the
concierge's Office, and take the bag to
the noon that had been allotted to
her. The girl disappeared, and when
she had gone Miss Kitwater turned to
me.
"Mr. Fairfax she said, II have an.
other favor to ask you. L assure you
IT concerns me vitality. Iwant to know
it you Win let me go with you to
Naples: In order that might not be
in your way, we might travel in diff

am so frightened about my uncle.
If follow him to Naples, it is just
possible I might be able to dissuade
him from pursuing Hayle. If he were
to kill me for preventing them, ]
would not let them meet. Believe me
when say that I am terribly anxious
about him. Besides"
Here she paused for moment, as if
she did not quite know how to con.
tinue what she-had to say to me.
AS have said, you and MI
mean the French gentleman-could
travel in your own way. All that /
want to be assured Of is that may
be in Naples and at hand should any
thing happen"
If you really wish it, Isdo not see
why you should not go ?sIreplied med.
