"Yes: 1t should be reported" said
Shirley.
''It was very strange. Why, the deck
of the King Edward is the safest place
in the world, but it's something to
have had hold Of sea serpent or a
pirate! I hope you will forgive me for
bringing you into such an encounter,
but If you hadn't caught his cloak
Armitage was uncomfortable and
anxious to allay her fears. The Incl
dent was by no means trivial. as he
knew. Passengers on the great trans
atlantic steamers are safeguarded by
every possible means. and the fact that
he had been attacked in the few min
utes that the deck lights had been out
of order pointed to an espionage that
was both close and daring. He was
greatly surprised and more shaken
than he wished Shirley to believe. The
thing was disquieting enough, and it
could not but impress her strangely
that he. Of all the persons on board,
should have been the object Of so un-
usual an assault. He was in the dis
agreeable plight of having subjected
her to danger, and as they entered the
brilliant saloon he freed himself Of the
ulster with its telltale cash and sought
to minimize her impression Of the in
cident.
Shirley did not refer to the matter
again. but resolved to keep her own
counsel. She felt that any one who
would accept the one chance in thou
sand of striking down an enemy on a
steamer deck must be animated by
very bitter hatred. She knew that to
speak of the affair to her father or
brother would be to alarm them and

Dick, who felt something was expect

found much to like in John Armitage.
He particularly despised sham and pre-

appear well in his eyes.

Dick. And" he added, Il cannot do

Armitage began talking Of the Amer
lean army-its strength and weak
nesses-with an intimate knowledge
that greatly surprised and interested
the young officer, and when they sep
arated presently it was with a curious
mixture Of liking and mystifcation
that Claiborne reviewed their talk.
The next day brought heavy wealth

abroad. Armitage, breakfasting late,
was not satisfied that he had acted
wisely in speaking to Captain Clai-

in some degree his own conscience.

They were silent for a moment, con-
tinuing their tramp. Fair weather
was peopling the decks. Dick \Clai-
borne was engrossed with a vivacious
California girl. and Shirley saw him
only at meals. but he and Armitage
held night sessions in the smoking
room, with increased liking on both
sides.
Armitage saw something Of all the
Claibornes every day in the pleasant
intimacy Of ship life. and Hilton Clai-
borne found the young man an inter
esting talker. Judge, Claiborne is. as
every one knows. the best posted
American of his time in diplomatic
history. and when they were together
Armitage suggested topics that were
well calculated to awaken the old law
yer's interest.
Shirley and ,Armitage talked-as peo-
pie will on shipboard-of everything
under the sun. Shirley's enthusiasms
were in themselves interesting. but she
was Informed in the worlds larger af-
fairs. as became the daughter of a
man who was an authority in such
matters. and found it pleasant to dis
cuss them with Armitage. He felt the
poetic quality in her. 1t was that
which had first appealed to him. but
he did not know that something of the
same sort in himself touched her. 1t
was enough for those days that he
was courteous and amusing and gained
a trifle in her eyes from the fact that
he had no tangible background.
Then came the evening Of the fifth
day. They were taking turn after
dinner on the lighted deck. The spring
stars hung faint and far through thin
clouds. and the wind was keen from
the sea. A few passengers were out.
The deck stewards. went about gather
ing up rugs and chairs for the night.

of guard. but with swift reaction his
wits were at work. He at once sought
the purser and scrutinized every name
on the passenger list. 1t was unlikely
that steerage passenger could reach
the saloon deck unobserved. A second
cabin passenger might do So however
and he sought among the names in the
second cabin list for clew. He did
not believe that Chauvenet or Durand
had boarded the King Edward He
himself had made the boat only by a
quick dash. and he had left those two
gentlemen at Geneva with much to

1t was. however. quite within the
probabilities that they would send
some one to watch him. for the two
men whom he had overheard in the
dark house on the Boulevard Froissart
were active and resourceful rascals, he
had no doubt. Whether they would be
able to make anything of the cigarette
case he had stupidity left behind he
could not conjecture. but the impor-
tance of recovering the packet he had
cut from Chauvenet's coat was not a
trffle that rogues of their caliber would
ignore. There was, the purser said, q

"You understand that it is wholly ir.

And John Armitage made a memo

to see that it was intact. The three red
wax seals were in blank. replacing
those of like size that had originally
been affixed to the envelope, and at
once after the attack on the dark deck
he opened the packet and examined the
papers, some half dozen sheets Of thin
linen written in clerks clear hand In
black ink. There had been no mis-
take In the matter. The packet which
ChauVenet had purloined from the old
prime minister at Vienna had come
agfin into Armitage's hands. He was
daily tempted to destroy 1t and cast
1t in bits to the sea winds, but he was
deferred by the remembrance Of his
last interview with the old prime mirf-
lister.

Cinch Tight. Mont, and took a suit
Of rooms high up. with an outlook that
swept Pennsylvania avenue.
It was on the evening of a bright
April day that he thus established
himself. and after he had unpacked his
belongings he stood long at the win.
dow and watched the lights leap out of
the dusk over the city. He was IN
Washington because Shirley Claiborne
lived there, and he knew that even if
he wished to do so he could no longer
throw an air of inadvertence into his
meetings with her. He had been very
lonely in those days when he first saw
her abroad. The sight Of her had lifted
his mood Of depression. and now. after
those enchanted hours at sea, his com.
ing to Washington had been inevitable.
Many things passed through his mind
as he stood at the open window. His
life, he felt. could never be again as 1t
had been before. and he sighed deeply
as he recalled his talk with the old
prime minister at Geneva. Then he
laughed quietly as he remembered
Chauvenet and Durand and the dark
house on the Boulevard Froissart, but
the further recollection of the attack
made on his life on the deck of the
King Edward sobered him, and he
turned away from the window impa-
tiently. He had seen the sick second
cabin passenger leave the steamer at
New York. but had taken no trouble
elIner to watch or to avoid him. Very
likely the man was under instructions
and had been told to follow the Clai-
bornes home. and the thought Of their
with himself by his enc
mics angered him. Chauvenet was
likely to appear in Washington at any
time and would undoubtedly seek the
Claibornes at once. The fact that the
man was scoundrel might in some
have afforded Armitage
comfort. but here again Armitage's
mood grew dark. Jules Chauvenet was
undoubtedly rascal of shrewd and
dangerous type. but who, pray. was
John Armitage?
The bell in his entry rang. and be
flashed on the lights and opened the
door.
"Well. like this, setting yourself
up here in gloomy splendor and never
saying a word. You never deserved to
