CHAPTER xxx.
Blackmail.

Laurance Lowe and Charlie Mist
ley were not cursed with the conspir-
ator's vice of too much talk and too
little action. From the evening when
they had first laid their heads to-
gether until some weeks afterward,
no word passed between them rela-
tive to Lena or Monsieur Jacobi
The subject was by mutual under
standing allowed to drop, though it
was ever to the fore in either's mind.
However. one evening when they
were walking home together from
what was modestly called musical
soiree, Charlie unearthed the sub
ject. The evening had been a dull
one. Lowe and his young compan-
ion had undoubtedly been sCrely out
Of their element, and both knew that
their presence at the entertainment
was due to the fact that the Wrights
had been there. Lena had sung once
beautifully and simply, as was her
wont. And the Baroness de Nan
tile had obliged the assembled multi
tude three times. Her splendid
voice had been greatly assisted by
the artistic violin obligato of Mon
sieur jacob.
II did not get much further on
tonight" said the young sailor, as
he stopped beneath lamp post to
light his cigar.
Lowe, with his hand pushed deep
into the pockets of his loose top coat,
and an ancient opera hat tilted rath-
er forward over his eyes, stopped
also, and watched the delicate oper-
alton.

rather indistinctly, by reason of the
cigarette between his lips.

notice of any of our party?"

"How?"
eve came in late" said Lowe. "It
was unnatural not to look up"
They walked on, smoking pensive-
ly. and on the deserted pavement
their steps rang out like the tread of
one foot.
Il have followed up your hint"
said Charlie; 'and l think you are
right; jacob is mixeL up in it some
where"

Lowe.

of her gracious moods she may make
a mistake some day. and them"
Lowe took the cigarette from his
lips, and after a pause he said:
There is one way of working it. :"
"Yes?"

| THAT Is not much in my line of

an awkward laugh.
