The acute nervous strain had broken.
In the security OF this haven, SO

''Why, you'll plunge into any scrape

"Pn not drag you and your wife In

firmly.

Gordon, with laugh. ANY friend Of

though her baggage may be full Of

he added seriously, my wife is com
pletely satisfied, and that decision is
final hereabout; also II Is invariably

Darrell crossed TO the eastern win
dow and stood for some time IL silence,
looking out upon the gray morning. He
turned at the sound Of Mrs. Gordon's
voice.

'for what believe TO be a great and
splendid opportunity. This girl you

"Bilowskir' exclaimed Darrell. "My

Your name is Sergius Bilowski, and

One OF the men laid his hand on Oar

him aside.
AT the same time the other handed
Getchikoff a paper. AS he read It he

his teeth firmly together, as one who

but merely name, and committed him
TO custody. No defense was allowed.
The prisoner, indeed, declared his name
and nationality. but not the slightest
attention was given to his words. The
whole proceeding did not occupy four
minutes, and 1t ended by the magis-
trate's signing a document of COM
mitment which was suspicIously handy
upon his desk.
Darrell was then conducted TO a room
which was much more habitable than
he had expected his prison TO be-in-
deed, except for the basic injustice of
the matter. he had no cause to COM
plain OF his treatment He was sub
Jected to search, but nothing was taken
from him except his watch, his pocket
knife, some unimportant letters and a
small part of his money. The prin-
cipal portion OF his cash was In large
notes, which he carried in an inner
pocket Of his waistcoat. 1t appeared
to him that the failure to take IL was
genuine oversight on the part of the
searchers-that they really did not see
the pocket. On the other hand, the
money might have been left with him
that he might buy his way out Of the
prison and get shot by guard just
outside the walls. Such things will

Of course, had fallen into the hands OF
the police.
AS matter OF form he requested per-
mission 10 communicate with the Amer
lean consul, and ii was granted. But
Darrell was not so simple as to suppose
that his letter would be delivered He
realized fully that he was in trap,
though he could not understand the
pIcSAsS ODJSCL Oh lDe proceedings.
Doubtless his arrest was connected
with the affairs of Vera Shevaloff. He
might be seriously suspected Of com
plicity in her designs, whatever they
were, and he smiled grimly in his cell
at the thought OF his own complete ig-
norance Of the matter. 1t would have
been hard for the governor generals
secret police to find man who knew
less, though they had searched the city
for the most innocent within It's limits.
Rejecting upon the problem during
a long and tedious evening, Darrell was
OF the opinion that he had been arrest
ed as a mere precaution and would be
held until the affair had been thorough
ly sifted; that Vera was also prisoner
h the city, her plots more or less fully
known, her liberty and indeed her life
at the mercy OF the governor general.
The thought Of his own present help
iessness weighed unon haro Ike lead.
