He seemed merely to be perusing an

He did not act like man who was

Nine. du Barry shivered and drew
the money.
With the sinews of war in his DOS
session Buckford felt stronger. He
now called cab and, remembering
what Monroe had told him about the
Prince of Deneslia, was driven to the
hotal the prince had occupied in Paris.
He found the concierge in charge of
an empty place.
Madame" said the concierge in re-
ply to Buckford's question, m. lie
Count Rockmilliye left here yesterday.
i believe he is now on his way to Aus
tria or Germany. Can l aid madame
in any way?''
In an hour Buckford. with the still
smiling but now bewildered Nine. du
Barry, was at the terminal station of
the Strassburg railway, where Buck
ford, but half knowing whether he
was right or wrong. purchased two
| tickets for Strassburg.
Now, madame" he said as the train
started, 1--WE are off upon our adven-
lures"
Nine. du Barry glanced at the gay
gown her companion wore. which had
been presented to her by Vandal and
which could be easily recognized by
him, and smiled again.
In fact, Nine. du Barry was begin
ming to enjoy the whole affair and
considered her thousand francs very
well spent indeed.
