She sealed and addressed her letter
and saw II dispatched. Afterward
she crossed the courtyard to the res
taurant and did her best to eat some
dinner. When she had finished it was
only half past 8. She rang for the
lift and ascended to the fourth floor.
On her way down the corridor a sud
den thought struck her. She took a
key from her pocket and entered the
room which her brother had occupied.
His things were still lying about in
some disorder, and neither of his trunks
was locked. She went down on her
knees and calmly proceeded to go
through his belongings. 1t was rather

however. There were picture post
cards, a few photographs and a good
many restaurant bills, but they were
all from places In Germany and Aus
tria. At the bottom of the second
trunk, however, she found something
which he had evidently found It worth
while to carefully preserve. 1t was a
thick sheet Of official looking paper,
bearing mt the top an embossed crown
and covered with German writing. 1t
was numbered ut the top 81" and 1t
was evidently an odd sheet of some
document. She folded it carefully up
and took II back with her to her own
room. Then. with the help of a Ger
man dictionary. she commenced to stu
dy 1t. At the end of an hour she had
made out n rough translation. which
she read carefully through. When she
had finished she was thoroughly per-
picked. She had an uncomfortable
sense of having come into touch with
something wholly unexpected and mys-
terious.

Where on earth can Guy have found

There was no one 70 answer her, no

of her loneliness brought the tears into
her eyes. She sat for some time with
her face buried In her hands. Then
she rose Up. calmly destroyed her
translation with minute care and lock-

bottom Of her dressing bag. The more
she thought of 1t the less, after all.
