 The door closed behind her. and as we drove past the house a moment later we scanned the place in wonder. Plain it was that at the suggestion of the fat, flabby-faced foreigner she had gone there to call unexpectedly upcn Garshore. Equally plain was it that she was no stranger to the house. for instantly the servant recognized her he admitted her.
 Having turned ipto Curzon street and gone some distance, passing f'--'s' s friend on our way. we ordered the man to pull up. descended. and walked back into Bolton street.
 1 This was I pointed out to my friend. somewhat injudicious move, | for. as the fat man was also awaiting her at the corner. feared that he might recognize me as the --an he had scanned so suspiciously in Soho | We therefore strolled back to Picca- dilly on the opposite side of the way. taking careful note of the eminently respectable house wherein resided the man who hal so cleverly changed his identity that the metropolitan police had been entirely baffled. | Already the Roumanian concession which he had so ingeniously stolen from Granny had created good deal of talk in the city. A wealthy syndl- cate had, I had seen from the Flnan- l ciaI News, been formed to purchase 1t and the price arranged was stated to be a very large one. Rufford. alias Garshore, alias a dozen other names was indeed working his cards well. Was it, however. the clever woman who had become his aecomplice who was. at that moment. paying him a l visitor was it the maid. Marie Le' | bas? That was a question wh'cf neither of us could decide. Certainly the young woman's appearance. wher dressed genteelly, was not at all like | that of a maid. l Discovery of the secret existing be- tween Garshore and his fair visitor would, I recognized. elucidates the my tstery of Radcliffe Gardens.
 'ewe must take care not to alarm then.' I pointed out to my companior as we idled together in Piccadilly. neal the corner of Bolton street. Tn yon' der house undoubtedly lies the secret.
 "Yes," answered Cunliffe. thought fully. "It would be interesting to en ter that place and examine it. Int fellow Garshore is a crook--I feel con vinced of it.'
 What makes you so certain?' in quired in some surprise.
 'Because of his association with thi woman, whose name you say is Pop escu, and who obtained for him tha valuable concession, An honest maj would never have had recourse to sucl a subterfuge," was his reply.
 How surprised would my friend hay been had told him the actual truth Yes" remarked. slowly; there a good deal of truth in that argument Ahl if we could only overhear the con versation in progress at this moment. !. ! Or if we could enter the place il } the night and have just a look round i!

he rejoined me 1T don't understand the language. and if I did I couldn't have overheard much of it. I took care that they didn't see much of my face. for I read the paper the whole time He gave her something-like a piece of paper screwed up. It may have been a couple of bank notes. At first she declined to take it. but he pressed it upon her and she then slip ped it into her glove.''
 "A bribe!" exclaimed. What for. I wonder? I wish we could determine what is her name.''
 Patience" he said reassuringly- patience. and we shall very soon dis cover that. Her bearing is more that of lady than an ironer-that's my belief" he added.
 Such was exactly my own opinion. Granny had misled me. This was the real Lydia Popescu!
 The nair walking before us. conver- sing earnestly, halted at the corner of Oxford street. because of the traffic, then crossed, continued up Fottenham Court road to the corner of Rowland street. There she left her companion at the corner and hurrying along. en- tered one of the dismal uniform houses by means of latch key. l, We had evidently traced her to her abode. The fat Italian had crossed the road and entered a bar opposite-to await her.

The lace curtains hung limp and sooty at the windows and the whole place bore that air of dirt and neglect too often seen in the lsmoke-begrimed side streets of middle class London thoroughfares. Apparently she had gone to her lodg- 1 fngs in order to wash and smarter herself up, for in about twenty nlfn- utes she came forth in a well-naade dark blue dress. a fashionable hat and
 red d-and-white gloves. Indeed. the | transformation was complete. From l the modest workgirl of the Soho laun- 1 dry she became a well-dressed youns
 woman of refined appearance. vel ! ] of fastness. Her clothes. indeed. be. trayed an excellent taste. and her hat Twas of a mode that suited her admir-. ably. It seemed that she was going out tt
