men whose figures were uppermost In
her mind. To Helene the task of waiting
upon Walter became q work OF delight.
When Mt last Adams permitted her to
take her patient, who was rapidly becom-
ing convalescent except as his memory
was concerned. as far as the public gar
dens, and to sit there with him In the
sunshine. among the flowers, she was as
happy as a little queen.
The only thing which darkened her
pleasure was that often Henri would
stumble across her In her walks with
Walter, and would stand near. or sit on
a seat close by, with his face as dark
as night, and savage, cruel CLEAN In
his eyes. such as she had not often seen
there. but dreaded nevertheless.
Matters went on this way untA one
morning Adams. having risen earlier
than usual. was sitting In his study. when
he heard voices on the stairs. Helene
was saying TO somebody. You really
must not follow me about forbid you
to do So"
Another voice--a young man's--an-

was truthful girl. and challenged by

that he was employed by the English gen.

This led Adams to inquire who the
English gentleman might be. and when
he was told that person was Mr. Ber-
nard Quayle, n light dawned upon him.
Mr.. Bernard Quayle's name. and. indeed.
his former nppellation of John Roberts.
were very well known to Mr.. Adams, al
though Mr.. Quayle was not aware that
his personality was no secret to the
American surgeon.
When the Louisianian learned who his
fellow lodger In the house was, and that

former acquaintance Of Jean Tenure. he
quickly came to the conclusion that

purpose Of spying upon him or Helene.
or perhaps upon both. The same day he
paid a visit to the police Of the district.
