Six weeks later Arthur Morris was
in Berlin. He had perfected his plans,
and after securing apartments in
Leipziger Strasse set about their exc
cution.
He was to shrewd to announce his
arrival by a letter to Jessie, having
good reason to suspect that it would
meet the same reception as had the
others. He retained capable valet
and commissioned him to obtain in
formation concerning Miss Gardens

den would not venture out in the
storm. His master was pleased tc
learn that Miss Garden was in the
habit of going out alone, and that II
the weather permitted, she proposed
to visit Count Raczynski's gallery on
the morrow.
The famous Raczynsh gallery is on
the Exercierplatz, outside the Braden.
burg gate, and contains a splendid col.
lection of modern German paintings.
The day dawned bright and warm
after the storm, and Morris was in
fine spirits when he stepped into his
carriage and rode down the avenue.
He entered the gallery and roamed
through the halls to make sure Jessie
had not arrived. He then stood near
the entrance and waited.
His patience was rewarded. He
recognized Jessie as she crossed the
street. She was alone, and Morris
stepped into the dark of the vestibule
and followed when she entered the
main hall. Jessie carried sketch
book under her arm. and took seat
opposite one of Schinkel's master.
