There was no mention of Baron Won Kerber,
which added ripple to the of establishment
in Roysons breast. He took his baggage to Charing
Cross in cab, and deposited it there Meanwhile,
he learned from further scrutiny of the list that
his own few belongings were hardly wanted. He
had not been so we'll equipped since he left Heidel-
berg to rush to his mothers death bed. Neverthe-
less having already gathered in a valise some
books, photographs, letters, and other odds and
ends, he went to Brxton to obtain them.
While giving farewell glance round his dingy
room, old envelop, thrown aside overnight, re-
minded him of half formed idea, which appealed
to him strongly that he knew his port of de-
parture
So he wrote short letter

of employment on board the Aphrodte Looked
at in cold blood, there nothing sinister in
Kerbers wish to keep his business affairs private
If the Baron was mixed up in quarrel with some
unknown Italian, his association with people like
Fenshawe and his granddaughter supplied valid
excuse for observing certain secrecy.
To guess the nature of the yachts mission was
more difficult. Any reader of newspapers
aware that Morocco, Montenegro, and Armenia, not
to mention the political volcanoes of Finland, Po-
land, and Carlst centers in Spain, provided scope
for international intrigue in these prosaic days
But it vain thing to imagine that the Fen
shawes would be involved in any wildcat scheme of
that sort. The natural sequel to this thought was

The book supplied other
details; but Royson obtained
from the foregoing extracts
a sufficiently clear idea of the
identity of the two people
whom he had encountered in
the park. Of course, he set
his wits to work instantly to
construct new avenues for the
promised activity of the
Aphrodite; but, these imagin-
ings being as hopelessly mis-
taken as are most other
human peeps into futurity,
they served only to keep him
on tenterhooks until he re-
visited the outftters' estab-
lishment. There he was given
the keys of two large steel
trunks, canvas covered, and
requested to assure himself
that they contained all the
articles set forth on a list.
The manager also gave him a
first class ticket for Marseilles,
and typewriter instructions
that he was to travel by the
nine o'clock train from Vic
toria that evening. On arriv-
ing at the French port he
would find the Aphrodite
moored in No. 3 Basin, and
he was requested not to wear
any portion of his uniform
until he was finally on board
the yacht.
The nature of the arrange
ments. the prodigal supply of
clothing, rather took Dicks
breath away. Even the mi
tials, R. X" were painted
on the trunks and stitched
on the canvas.

have done things pretty thor

at a reconciliation with Sir Henry
Royson.
He was about to add the
briefest announcement of his
new career; but he checked
himself: had not Won Kerber
forbidden the giving of any
information?
He signed the letter, and
addressed it to the senior
partner of a firm of solicitors
in Lincoln's Inn Fields. Then
indeed he felt that he had
snapped the last slender link
that bound him to the dull
life of the city. Like Kent,
he vowed that freedom lies

e seen such a man. Drawn
out to Royson's stature, he
would yet have remained the
broader of the two. The
woman with him, evidently
Mrs. Stump, was mated for
him by happy chance. Short
men usually marry tall wo-
men, and your sons of Anak
will select wives of fairylike
proportions; but Mrs. Stump
was even shorter than her
husband, and so plump withal
that a tape measure round
her shoulders might have
given her the prize for girth.
Captain Stump was exam

eyes on the P. & o. officers.
Port yer hellum, Becky,
he growled, and the two
turned to the rightabout. 1t
happened that he entered
Royson's compartment.
There were not many first
class passengers that night
so Royson promptly took pos
session of his own corner,
lit a pipe, and unobtrusively
watched his future COM
mander. This was not diff
cult, as Stump stood near the
open door, and each word he
uttered was audible.
Don't want to berth along

he said, after sizing up Dick
in a comprehensive glance.

Dick thought that this
would be impossible any,
