Then" said the Englishman,
"you have changed?"
Eyes, I have changed"
ST am sorry for It,"
WHY"
Because" said Charlie, "it brings
you into contact with such men as
Monsieur Jacobi."
Marie Bakovitch looked up sharp

What do you know Of Monsieur
Jacobi?"
Charlie shrugged his broad Shout

"Well-scarcely. 1 have never had
the necessary energy to hate any one
yet. I do not like him"
1T is of Jacobi," continued the girl,
''that I have to tell. 1t is against
him that I must ask your help. Re-
member, I do not ask it for myself

Marie Bakovitch looked up some

HE is connected with several Sc
cret societies, political and other
wise. Notably the Brotherhood OF
Liberty, of which he pretends to be
the London chief. For some months
he has been scheming to obtain
money from Lena Wright for the pur-
pose of the Brotherhood"
Il thought money would come in
somewhere"
Yes, all Jacobs plots are con-
nected with money sooner or later.
He heard from sources unknown to
me that she will be comparatively
rich some day. and he has been en-
deavoring to persuade her to borrow
this money. 1t is a large sum-"
You have not told me what hold
he has over her"
HE has represented that the
Brotherhood has agencies and con-
nections all over the world, and by
these means he could with the aid
of a certain sum of ready money OBJ

know of this? He has surely had no
opportunity"
He stood there motionless and
strong as ever mar was created, but
there passed across his face a mo-
mentary twinge of real physical pain.
Suddenly he reused himself with an
effort, and said with a practical, mat
ter-of-fact energy:
"Mademoiselle. we must waste no
time. I am deeply grateful-more
grateful than ver I can hope to ex-
press--for the confidence that you
have placed in me. You said just
now that jacob pretends to be the
London chief of this Brotherhood;
have you doubts about the truth of
his assertions?"

THANK you. May l ask when you

Tomorrow at three. Thank you.
You may leave everything to me,

Root of Most Crime.

"IVhen I come to look through the
court calendar, and when I see the
number of crimes which have been
committed under the influence of
drink, / cannot help saying a word or
two on that subject. Every day 1
live, the more I think of the matter,
the more firmly do 1 come to the
conclusion that the root of almost all
crime is drink" declares Judge Haw-
