further trouble. / am going to break
a confidence which has been reposed in
me, and to give you the benefit of my
own surmises- In the first place, Mr..
Lloyd is mistaken in supposing that
the French police have been in the
least puzzled by this double disappear
ance. On the contrary they are per-
fectly well aware of all the facts of the
case, and could have produced Miss
Poynton or her brother at any mo-
ment. They are working not for us, but
against u.s."
Indeed" Mr.. Lloyd said in tone of
disbelief And their object?"
Here is as much of the truth as |
dare tell YOU" Duncombe said. Guy
Poynton whilst on the continent be-
came the chance possessor of an i'm
portant state secret. He was followed
to France by spies from that country
we will call il Germany-and the young
lady who awaits you so impatiently is,
if not one of them, at least one of their
friends. At the Cafe Montmartre he
gave his secret away to people who are
in some measure allied with the secret
service police of France. He was kid
mapped by them, and induced to remain
hidden by a trick. Meanwhile diplo-
macy makes use of his information, and
foreign spies look for him in vain. His
sister, when she came to search for
him. was simply an inconvenience
which these people had not contem-
plated. She was worked upon by fears
concerning her brothers safety TO go
into hiding. Both have been we'll cared
for. and the report of Guys death is,
firmly believe, nothing but an az
tempt to lull the anxieties of the spies
who are searching for him. This young
woman here may be able to tell you
into whose hands he has fallen, but you
may take my word for it that she is in
greater need of information than you
are, and that she is an exceedingly
dangerous person for you to discuss the
Poyntons with. These are the crude
facts. | have only known them a few
hours myself, and there is a good deal
which ! cannot explain. But this /
honestly and firmly believe. Neither
you nor | nor Mr.. Lloyd here can do
the slightest good by interfering in this
matter. For myself. 1 am leaving for
England tonight
Duncombe. like most honest men. ex-
pected to be believed. If he had en-
tertained the slightest doubt about it
he would not have dared to open his
mouth. The silence that followed he
could understand. No doubt they were
as amazed as he had been. But it was
a different thing when he saw the ex
preston on Andrews face as he turned
to his companions.
What do you think of this, Lloyd ?"
he asked.
Il am afraid SIR" the man answered.
that some of the clever ones have

generally turns out so when amateurs
tackle a job like this
Duncombe looked at him in astonish-
ment
DO you mean to say that you don't
believe me?" he exclaimed.
81 wouldn't put it like that sir" the
man answered with a deprecating
smile. Il. think you have been misled
by those who did not wish you to dis
cover the truth"

you never could have. Now that she

You should read the papers," An
drew answered shortly. He was iden-
titled by his sister"
THE papers said So" Duncombe an
swered hesitatingly: but
Look here" Andrew interrupted. Il
have had enough of this playing with
facts. You have grown too complex
about this business altogether, Dun
Combe. Give me Phyllis POyntOn's ad-
dress
You shall have it." Duncombe an
swered, taking a leaf from his pocket
book and writing. Il don't think that
it will be any good to you. 1 think that
it is more likely to lead you into trou-
BILE. Miss PoyntOn is with the Marquis
and Marquise de st. Ethel. They are
of the first nobility in France. Their
position as people of honor and circum-
stance appears undOubted. But never
theless. if you are allowed to see her

Andrew rose and took his compan-
IONS arm. He scarcely glanced again
towards Duncombe, who followed them
out of the room. And there in the hall
awaiting them was the young lady
from Vienna, quietly dressed in black
but unmistakable with her pretty hair
and perfumes. Duncombe watched
them shake hands and move away be-
fore he could recover sufficiently from
his first fit of surprise to intervene
Then a realization of what had hap
pened rushed in upon him. They. too.
then, had been to the Cafe MOntmartre
with their obvious Anglicisms, their
clumsy inquiries-to make of them
selves without doubt the jest of that
little nest of intriguers, and after
wards their tool. Duncombe thought
of the fruits of his own inquiries there.
and shivered. He hurried after the lit
tie party, who were apparently on their

Il see no object in any further dis

calmly

something which was almost a sheer
You did not talk so freely few min
utes back. II seems as though we were
on the eve of a discovery"
You are on the brink Of making an
idiot of yourself" Duncombe answered
quickly. You were mad to bring that
laundering English detective over here.
What the French police cannot or do
not choose to discover, do you suppose
that they would allow an Englishman
to find out-a stranger to Paris, and
with an accent like that If | cannot
keep you from folly by any other means
l must break my word to others. Come

that your friend is listening, and made

cuses for ten minutes. Andrew. You will
never regret it"
The detective. who had evidently
overheard everything, stepped back to
them.
You will excuse my interfering, sir, ."
he said. but if this case is to remain
in my hands al all il is necessary for
me to hear all that Sir George Dun
combe has to say. The young lady will
wait for a moment. This case is diff.
cult enough as it is, what with the
jealousy Of the French police, who ma
turally don't want US to find out what
they can't. IF Sir George Duncombe
has any information to give now" the
man added with emphasis, (which he
withheld a few minutes ago, I think
that I ought to hear it from his own
lips"
Il agree entirely with what Mr.. Lloyd
has said" Andred declared.
Duncombe shrugged his shoulders. He
looked around him cautiously, but they
were in a corner of the entresOl, and no
one was within hearing distance.

from danger, and Miss Poynton from

II wish to DO you justice" Andrew
answered coldly. and | am willing to
believe that you have faith yourself in
the extraordinary story you have just
told US. But frankly, think that you
have been too credulous.
Duncombe lost his temper. He turned
on his heel, and walked back into the
