"Why?"
Because" said Charlie, 'it brings
you into contact with such men as
Monsieur jacob"
Marie Bakovitch looked up sharp
ly, but he avoided meeting her eyes.
What do you know of Monsieur
Jacobi?"
Charlie shrugged his broad Shout

Nothing, mademoiselle."
But you hate him?"
"WeH-scarcely. / have never had
the necessary energy to hate any one
yet. l do not like him. -
1T is of jacob, continued the girl,

him that must ask your help. Re-
member, / do not ask it for myself
for 1 do not fear him. 1t is for Lena
Wright"
Marie Bakovitch looked up some
what suddenly. She met her COM
panion's eyes, calm, impassive, in
scrutable as usual, fixed upon her
face.
Yes he said; Ego on"
"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.
81 thought money would come in
somewhere"
Eyes, 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 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 certain sum of ready money OBJ

safety, or otherwise, of your brother
Winyard-S he-I think-she"
YES" said Charlie, gravely, II I'M
derstand. But how did he get to
know of this? He has surely had no
opportunity-"
He stood there motionless and
strong as ever man was created, but
there passed across his face mo-
mentary twinge of real physical pain.
Suddenly he reused himself with an
effort, and said with practical, mat
ter-of-fact energy:
Mademoiselle, we must waste no
time. I am deeply grateful-more
grateful than ever 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"
Eyes. know that such a society
exists, and that it's headquarters are
in Rotterdam; but / believe Jacob
is no member of it. He has repre-
sented himself to be its chief simply
for the purpose of obtaining money.
He has, in fact, deceived us all"

Tomorrow at three. Thank you.
You may leave everything to me,
mademoiselle. I have a friend
Laurence Lowe-who is journalist
of some repute. He will doubtless
know about this Brotherhood of Lib
erty-the real one, mean. I will
endeavor to do everything in as quiet
and seaman-like manner as / can
