channel not far north of Hayre.

Paris to secure the services of an ex-

That done, they proceeded to Etretat,

There was nothing more to be done
that night, for glance at my watch
showed me the lateness Of the hour.
As 1 emerged from the pier suddenly
found myself very weary and very
hungry, so called cab and was driv-

fugitives; I had found out all that I
could reasonably have hoped to find
out. And yet my exultation was short

track, how much nearer success had

France, but for what part of France?

to discover which direction they had
taken? Suppose they had gone to
Paris, as seemed most probable, how
could ever hope to find them theref
Even If I did find them, would l be
in time to checkmate Martigny?
For time 1 paused, appalled, at the
magnitude of the task that lay before
me-in all France to find three people!
But, after all, it might not be so great.
Most probably these women We're from
one Of the towns Holiday and his
wife had visited during their stay in
France. Which towns they were I, of
course, had no means of knowing, yet
I felt certain that some means Of dis
covering them would present itself.
That Elust bS my work for the morrow.
A half hour passed, and sat lost In
specula ton, watching the blue smoke
curling upward. striving vainly to pen
citrate the mystery. For l was as far
as ever from a solution of it. Who
were these people? What was their
aim? How had they managed to win
Miss Holiday over to their side, to
persuade her to accompany them, to
fee from her friends-above all, from
our junior partner? How had they
caused her change of attitude toward
him? Or had they really abducted her?
Was there really danger Of foul play;
danger that she would fall a victim as
well as her father? Who was Mar
tigny? And, above all, what was the
plot? What did he hope to gain? What
was he striving for? What was this
great stake for which he risked so
much?
To these questions I could find no
reasonable answer. was still cropping
aimlessly in the dark, and at last in
sheer confusion I put down my pipe,
turned out the light and went to bed.

Mr.. Graham nodded.
"Yes-that's plainly the next step.
You must follow them to France-but
where in France will you look for
them? 1 didn't think of that before.
Why, the search is just beginning! I
