The rain was soaking Armitage thor.

any slight noises made by his own

upon the little room and its occupants.
He observed the care with which the
man kept close to his coat. and he pon-

He glanced at his watch.

more in the nature Of delightful diver

They drew nearer the table, and Du-
rand produced box OF papers, over
which he bent with serious attention.
Armitage had heard practically all Of
their dialogue and, what was of equal
interest, had been able to study the
the two conspirato tors. He was cramp.

His legs were numb, and he chung
close to the railing of the little LADDER

area. AT the second story his foot
slipped on the wet iron, smooth from
long use, and he stumbled down sew
eral steps before he recovered himself.
He listened moment. heard nothing
but the tinkle of the rain in the spout,
then continued his retreat.
AS he stepped out upon the brick
courtyard he was seized from behind
by pair Of strong arms that clasped
him tight. In a moment he was thrown
across the threshold of door into
an unlighted room. where his captor
promptly sat upon him and proceeded
to strike light.

He bowed and made way for the i'm
patient Claiborne, who gave his hand
to Armitage hastily and jumped into
the carriage.

not been for those words, she would
remembered him as he stood framed in
the carriage door-his gravity. his fine
ease, the impression he gave Of great
physical strength and of resources of
character and courage.
And so Shirley Claiborne left Geneva,
not knowing the curious web that fate
had woven for her nor how those last
words spoken by Armitage at the car
riage door were to link her to strange
adventures at the very threshold of her
American home.

His tone was not that OF one who

moment at the carriage door, curious
as to what Armitage might say fur

would return in few days.
1t was on the morning Of the fourth

at the hotel as Dick and his sister
waited for a carriage to carry them to
their train. He had inst returned, and
they met by the narrowest margin. He
walked with them to the door Of the
