Not another word would the man say
until they left the omnibus and walked
toward Soho Square.
His attitude puzzled Armstrong He
seemed to be frightened, timid nature
mixed UP in events SO dangerous that
they overpowered him A consummate
rogue must be good actor, and the
Frenchman was postmaster IN the
intriguers art, though his companion
was too impressed by his apparent state
of terror to remember the GOODNESS with
which he had contrived earlier in the
evening to get the cab away from The
Cedars.
They halted outside house which was
let to various occupants, judging by the
row of small 1ettered tablets, each with
its electric bell, on one side of the door.
The Frenchman entered confidently
enough. Come" he said. Ivan must
be here
They mounted the stairs and entered
a flat on the third floor. The staircase
and landings were unlighted. The dark
ness was intense
Frank gave no thought to personal
danger The puny Frenchman was not
of type to inspire distrust of that char
acter. So may small and harmless
looking reptile be of most deadly and
vicious type.
Have you natch?" asked the valet,
pausing in front of door and fumb1ing
with key.
Eyes" Frank produced box.
The lock was too stiff for trembling
fingers
My hands are not strong" said the
valet. Give me the matches. Perhaps
you can turn the key"
He was so anxious that he suffered,
and his swarthy face was livid
Surprised at this renewed agitation,
Frank did not hesitate. He stopped to
the lock, while the Frenchman
struck another match. The door opened
with unexpected ease. Armstrong
himself and was about
to let the other enter before him, when
he was attacked so suddenly from be-
hind that, for an instant, he could not
recover his balance.
A sinewy hand gripped his neck, a
knee was placed against his back, and
while thus bent and powerless he was
thrown violently into the dark interior
of the fiat. The door slammed and the
key turned in the lock- Even as he
sprang to his feet, enraged and ready
to fight for his life, he knew that he was
a prisoner.

literature is being distributed to the
peasants. The icon is losing its luster,

muzhiks have been filled up by the Gov

But a change is coming over the peasant

cessful revolution in Russia as impossible

street and walked quietly up the opposite
side in order to survey the Russians
abode and see if there were lights in any
of the rooms.
As he approached the house he became
aware of a commotion. A man was
hammering at the door and making noise
enough to wake the Seven Sleepers.
A policeman was there too, and sudden
alteration sprang up between the officer
and the strenuous person who demanded
admission SO vigorously.
Look here! protested the constable,
"you can't go on with that racket all
night There's nobody in"
But it ees important, m'sieur. Dey
are here My master tell me So
ut doesn't matter what your master
told you. You are disturbing the whole
street. Can't you see the house is empty?"
The policeman stepped back and
flashed his lamp over the windows. The
blinds were not lowered, Apparently no
one had been in the front room since
night fell

appealed the Frenchman, in whom Frank
promptly recognized the Princes valet.
If he did not thump again SO loudly on
the knocker he pulled the bell energetic
ally Armstrong heard it jingle across
the width of the street.
1t was useless. After a prolonged
wait the foreigner turned away with a
bitter imprecation His business evil
IDENTIFY was of a nature that aroused his
anxiety to an extent not often seen in a
servant who merely endeavors to carry
out his employers behests.
Followed by the somewhat suspicious
constable, who regarded everyone speak
ing broken English as a doubtful char
acter, the man walked toward the we'll
lighted area of Tottenham Court Road
There he sprang into an omnibus going
south. Armstrong boarded the next bus,
which, fortunately for him, endeavored
to get ahead of its predecessor before
reaching the advantageous stand oppo-
site the Horse Shoe
The two vehicles raced down the
thoroughfare, and woman with parcels
settled the fate of Number One, which
pulled up. Hastily paying his fare,
Frank alighted and entered the French
mans vehicle. The man was sitting in
a corner, and there were only two other
passengers.
Armstrong took a seat next to the
valet, and, speaking French, he said,
affably: Il heard you paid for my cab

But l forgive you. Prince Melnikof is

"M'sieur, | am bewildered! I do not

time to gather his scattered wits Arm
strong decided to press him hard.
